New YORK, July 9.-Grover Cleveland
has sent the following reply to letter to
Mrs. Cleveland from Mrs. Mary Frost
Ormsby, president of the Frances Cleve-
land Influence Club No l, informing her
of the formation of the club and saying
it has taken the liberty of using her
name:
GREY GABLES,
Buzzard's Bay, Mass, July 6 '92. J
Mrs. Mary Frost Ormsby.
Ny DEAR MADAM: Mrs. Cleveland has
referred to me your letter informing her
of the organization of the Frances
Cleveland Influence Club 1t is by no
means pleasant to dissent from the me-
thods which sincere friends adopt when
their efforts not only demonstrate their
friendliness but when they seek to sub
serve the public good and are therefore
engaged in a patriotic service. 1t is,
however, impossible to approve of the
use of Mrs. Cleveland's name in the
designation of clubs designed to do po-
litical work.
We trust you will not undervalue our
objection, but it rests upon the senti-
ment that the name now sacred in the
home circle as wife and mother may lily
be spared in the organization and opera
ton of clubs created to exert political
influence. Yours very truly,
(Signed) GROVER CLEVELAND.

WHAT WORKING FAMILIES SPEND.

/ Before Commissioner Wright's state
ments regarding wages and the ex-
penses of living pass into the general
acceptance which his honorable repu-
| tation would naturally secure for them,
| it is well to draw attention to certain
| limitations which unavoidably affect
| the value of such work. Were it posi-
| BILE to ascertain the exactshare of each
element in the cost of living for the
whole body of working people, in this
or in other countries, the result would
be of great value. But in compiling
the budgets Of 1924 families, Mr..
Wright has been compelled to take
what he could get. Few workingmen
keep an exact record of their expend-
itures. Those who do are not at all
likely to be truly representative of the
entire body Of workers, even IL a sim
gle industry.
The persons who keep accurate
records are likely to be above the av-
erage in thrift, economy and intelli-
gence. 1t is in the nature of things
eminently probable that their expen-
ditures differ much in character, and
in the proportion of the different
items, from those of workingmen
generally. The fact that man knows
his expenditures are to be recorded,
where they will face him afterward
and perhaps become known to others,
has some tendency to restrain many
kinds of outlay. Thus the report of
Mr.. Wright sets forth that the aver
age expenditures of families engaged
in cotton manufactures was for Ii
quors only SIC per year, which would
mean only S2O8, 10000 for 5000, 900
families in this country, but this is
probably only about quarter of the
cost of liquors to consumers. The ex
PLANTATION is not that cotton workers
as class are exceptionally temper
ate, but the people who keep detailed
accounts of all their expenditures are
not as rule in the habit of drinking
much.
The commissioner can not select
families known to represent the av-
erage in any industry, because not
many families Of that class have kept
accounts. Unfortunately, the desire
to include as many accounts as posi-

FOR HARRISON.

When Vermont is reached in the
roll call of states in the national re-
publican convention history will re-
peat itself, it is presumed, in the dec
laration, that "Vermont casts eight
votes for Benjamin Harrison" Such
response on the part Of the chair
man of the delegation would unques-
tionably represent the sentiment of
the republicans of the Green Mountain
State, who are loyal to President Har-
rison and DESTROYS Of his renomina-
ton. The several conventions which
elected the delegates to Minneapolis
heartily commended and Endorsed the
administration, and while the delega-
ton is not under any instructions,
the Journal correspondent has the
best reason for believing the vote of
Vermont will be cast for Gen. Harri
son in 1892, as it was four years ago.
The chairman of the Vermont dele
cation, Congressman Ell. Henry Pow
ers, will call a meeting of the mem
bers upon their arrival at the Nicolet
hotel, where headquarters have been
secured. The meeting will be for the
purpose of consultation with the view
Of taking united action in all matters
that may come before the convention.
Vermont voted as unit for Edmunds
and Garfield in 1880, for Edmunds in
1884 and for Harrison in 1888. The
eight votes cast by the Vermont dele
cation, through Hon. Redfield Proc
tor for Harrison in 1888 had no little
influence in determining the final re-
suit Of the balloting .-JourndL.

bic, in order to give the results a broad
basis, tends to prevent the omission
of some who are evidently exception
al. But with these exceptional ac-
counts reckoned in, the results shown
by other statements are altered. In
place Of the truth which these other
accounts would tell something else is
told, perhaps quite near the fact, but
perhaps far from it. Thus Mr.. Wright's
reports show that the average expen-
diture of cotton working families for
newspapers, books and other reading
matter was but $685., while the aver
age expenditure Of WOODEN working
pose, and the average expenditure of
cotton working families in Great Brit
ain for the same purpose was 1886.
Again, the cotton working families in
this country spend 1886 yearly for
amusement, but the average for Brit
ish families in the same occupation is
stated at $500. It is not easy to ac
count for such discrepancies, except
on the assumption that many accounts
are included, and more from one
country than another, which do not
give at all the expenses of these class
es, or which give only a guess at their
amount.
Some telegraphed accounts of this
report contain statements which it
may be presumed the official report
itself does not contain. Thus it is as
serted that the average WOODEN work
ing family receives in a year $4,000
more than it expends for all purposes;
that the cotton working families have
an income exceeding expenses by only
$47.15 year in this country, but $54.-
Oh in Great Britain, and that the aver
age wooden working family in Ger
many oxpends $500 q year more than
it's income. Statements such as these,
if really found in the official report,
would go far to deprive it of the con-
fdence of students or public men.
Until the volume has been printed, land
can be critic ally examined, a report
by Commissioner Wright can hardly
be supposed to contain some of the
statements attributed to it in publish
ed dispatch es.-N. Y. Tribune.

taken out ofSthis Office one night
by a warrant of arrest. His place
was filled, and six or eight months
later he came back and was M
ployed in the job Office, but did not
stay, because in the opinion of the

Typographical Union, he could not
take less.

These we mention are the
very latest design. The Char
coal Iron of which we have
only few is made of the best
quality of metal, nickel plated
on the bottom and gilded on
sides and top. Just under the
handle is the fluter which is
readily removed and attached
to the side of the iron. One
heating of the iron is sufficient
for an hours futing. By
using a huter made on such a
simple plan as this, there is
less liability of injury to the
apparel.

FOREIGN OPINION.
A Few Remarks on the OdionS
~ Mckinley Bill.

W Mckinley Bill.
. The finances of the Hawaiian
Kingdom have become so depressed
lately that the Legislature has
passed a bill placing a duty on a
long list of articles which have
hitherto been admitted into the
islands free, says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle. AS there is not
the slightest intention on the part
of the islanders to engage in the
production of any of the articles
placed on the new tariff list, it
must be set down as strictly reve-
nue. tariff. It's effect will no doubt
be to diminish the purchasing
power of the islands, for there is no
escape from a tax for revenue only.
Where it falls there it lies. When
our free-trade contemporaries begin
to note the diminishing exports,
they will probably say Il told you
So" but if they do, the protection
ist will probably call attention to
the fact that the trade hitherto ell
joyed with the islands was chiefly
owing to the fact that we made
them an annual present of five or
six million dollars. On the same
terms we might renew our exports,
with the islands, for the islanders
charge all their woes to the in
famous Mckinley bill, which put
sugar on the free list.

The CASE OF THE QUEEN AGAINST
THE CONSTITUTION.

We publish this morning a full
account of the political events of
the past few days, which will enable
every reader TO judge of the situa-
ton for himself. Everyone has
known it to be critical, but how
critical can only be realized after
reading this account. The country
is passing through a constitutional
crisis. The Queen is pitted against
the Legislature. The Law and
the Constitution are arrayed
against Personal Prerogative.
Which is going to win ?
The facts published this morn
ing show that the reason why no
Cabinet can be formed is that the
field of choice is limited by the per-
sonal preferences of the Queen.
She is determined not to commits
sion certain prominent leaders of
the three parties, because she does
not like them; or because she
believes they will dismiss from
Office a man whom she wishes to
retain. There is a spirit of con-
Citation among the factions of the
Legislature to-day. They have
united upon principle, and have
thus far stood firm in maintain
ing it. Under the circumstances,
it would not be difficult to form a
Cabinet which would command
the support of a majority of the
Assembly, but there is just one
thing which stands in the way and
that is the arbitrary will of the
sovereign.
We are anxious to speak of Her

terms Of respect, such as are suit
able to her elevated station. But
it is also necessary to speak the
truth, and the truth is that she is on
wrong and dangerous path. The
Constitution, in making the tenure
of office of Cabinet Ministers
dependent on the will of the Legis-
lature, does not take account of
the personal preferences of the
sovereign. The monarch who
wishes to govern constitutionally
must subordinate those preferences
to the will of the people. Imagine
Queen Victoria refusing to call
Mr.. Gladstone because she dis
liked him or because she feared he
would remove some government
official whom she wished to retain.
Queen Liliuokalani's rights in this
matter are precisely the same as
Queen Victoria's. The two do
not differ one jot. 1t may be
added that if Queen Victoria
should insist on such a course the
days of the British monarchy would
be numbered.
The great stumbling block be-
tween the Queen and her people is,
of course, G. B. Wilson. But the
question now involved is greater
than that of his merits and de-
merits. There is a principle in
play, by comparison with which
the person of Mr.. Wilson sinks
into insignifcance. Is the Queen
to be allowed to dictate to the Cab
met whom it shall appoint or dis
miss? Is the policy of the Govern
ment to be shaped by the will of
the people or the whim Of. the
Sovereign? Is the ruler to usurp
functions which are not hers, or is
her power to be confined within
the bounds set to it by the law and
the Constitution? These are the
questions which the events of the
past few days have put in issue.
Their solution is in the hands of
the Legislature. On their courage
and steadfastness the fate of Con-
stitutional liberty in Hawaii de-
ponds. If they are true, the nation
is safe. If they prove weak or way
ering, this country will be no place
for Anglo-Saxon freemen.
What the outcome may be for
the moment no man can say. But
the final issue cannot be uncertain.
The experience of the world teaches
that in every struggle between
king and people, the people win in
the end. Monarchical usurpation
is certain to be punished. The
ruler who is so fond as to precipi-
tate a conflict invites his own de-
struction. 1t will not prove other
wise here. Kings and queens must
yield if they wish to avoid being
discarded altogether. In the nine
tenth century, they are not the
highest trumps. We earnestly
counsel Queen Liliuokalani, in the
interest of her own family and
throne, to seek to govern solely as
a constitutional monarch, with
strict respect to the forms of law.
The Legislature cannot accept
any Cabinet not selected in the
manner laid down by the ma
jority. If it stands faithfully to
its guns, it will earn the gratitude
of the community; if it recedes, it
will humiliate itself and the
nation
