cious performance was q brilliant coup for
Davenport, as 1t frightened away from the
polls several thousand Ignorant and dmid but

At any rate. Toynbee Hall furnishes a poor

The Next Golden Club Dinner.

At the last assembly OF the Golden Club
at their annual banquet in London there
was a %pervading spirit Of confidence only
less vigorous than that which had moved
the original RICHARD to prophesy that in
would be wiped from the face Of ON
merce. 1t was In the beginning OF Sop
TENDER when the first opportunity came to
the Cobdenites to get together after the
Chicago Convention. The President Of
the club In a letter regretting his alb
sence. uttered a note Of free trade jubilation
which rang throughout the subsequent pro-
ceedings with ever-increasing force. Sir
LYON PLAYFA1R, whose sympathy with this
country has been intensified through q mar
rlage with one of its daughters. remarked
that the Democratic platform should warm
the hearts Of every free trader. because 1t
was quite free trade in principle. 1t is
upon that platform that the fight will take
place next winter" Mr.. A. B. MASON. a Cob
denite from New York. confirmed his Eng
lish colleagues notion Of the future. having
studied the prospect from closer range:
This year We shall have the issue Of free trade Vs.
protection again to decide. In the Convention of our
Democratic party, 10 which Sir LYox PLArrAiR referred.
We overthrsw BY an overwhelming majority one Of
those jugglss Of words which confuse everybody and
disSust everybody. We adopted . plain. strsiehtfor.
ward statement that the Government Of the United
statss has NO power to lay = tax for protection"
SiAce then we have had Mr.. CLEvELAND's
letter Of acceptance. Aperusal OF that docu-
ment must make the late Golden Club dinner
seem to the British critics Ike a phantom
feast held somewhere in the ethereal un-
known now frequented by the clubs late
founder. Putting the various moral and
economic passages Of Mr.. CLEvELAND's let
ter together. the ST. Jdmes's Gazette con-
cludes that Mr.. CLEvELAND's words
have one meaning. The Democrats have
no intention whatever OF adopting
free trade. We can. therefore. only con-
clude that. In the opinion OF the sagacious
party leaders who make 1t their special
business to watch public opinion. the Nc
KNLEY tariff has not made protection less
popular. Even II Mr.. CLEVELAND wins,
there will be no great change in the fiscal
policy Of the United States" The Globe
goes still further in interpreting the letter
as merely conveying the authors qualified
disapproval Of Major MCKINLEY. 1t under
stands that Mr.. CLEVELAND has decided
that America has not yet had enough. at
any rate not too much McKinleyism. and
he docs not intend to abandon It,"
MIR. CLEVELAND may perhaps think that
the British press Is too extreme In Its
likening him to the economic protagonist
OF the Republicans. MCKINLEY and CLEvE,
Ian are not so far apart as the latter
may have imagined. after all. at least
upon the tariff. They are dramatically
opposed on the Force bill issue only: and
that Is the real dividing line between
Republicans and Democrats. We perceive
with decided satisfaction the d.sappoint'
ment Of the Cobdenites: but We feel a certain
sympathy for the memory Of the late RICH
ARD. He was a good man.

Tho Columbus Celebration.

A further distraction OF public interest
from the political campaign will be fur
nlshod by the COLUMBUS celebration. Tn
rrcat stands for spectators erected along
the open places and large squares Of the
town afford n suggestion Of tho depth and
extent Of this Interest.
The coming celebration promises to paral-
lel the great Centennial celebration in both
its magnitude and the popular enthusiasm
It excitos. The town will be crowded with
visitors from far and near and the parade
of the Roman Catholic societies. which will
form so imposing q feature Of the ceremo-
nies, will give to them a special attraction for
vast multitudes. Az COLUMBUS was OF their
ancient faith and started on the voyage Of
discovery with the benediction Of the
Church. they fifty Join in the commemora-
tive pageant. The Italians and the Ger
mans will also assist most effectively In
giving due glory and magniflcence to the
occasion.
Four hundred years ago COLUMBUS was
tossing on the Atlantic. To-day New York
proposes in many ways to celebrate the
triumph which then the great discoverer
had almost despaired Of reaching. Four
hundred years ago the streets through
which the vast procession will march were
covered by trackless forest whose very
existence was unknown except to the few
unknown aborigines who traversed 1t.
The celebration. therefore. will far tran
scend tho Centennial oommemoration in Its
appeal to the popular Imagination. It will
stimulate poetic feeling to . wonderful de-
gree, and 1t will absorb the thought Of the
people to In extraordinary extent. It will
take away their minds from politics for q
week at least.
Tho political campaign In this vicinity. &C.
cordingly. will hardly be under way under
full pressure until the middle Of October.
But tho three weeks remaining will be
enough to stir up tho otherwise d~isengaged
popular interest. When the municipal ticket
is put out tho fur will begin to fly.
Moreover. New York. as it presents itself
to the hundreds Of thousands Of visitors to
the COLUMBUS celebration. will be an object
lesson showing the efficiency OF u pres
emit Democratic municipal Government.
The people will see for themselves and will
be able to judge for themselves the merits
OF the existing administration OF the towns
atYairs. II many Of the streets are torn up.
they will discover in them the i~ndlsputable
evidence of the march OF improvement
under the mastery executive skill Of Com
missioner G11ReE. They will find order.
health. and sobriety prevailing. They will
be guarded from danger by q police unex-
celled for its vigilance and its discipline.
They will sec an urban population distin-
guished for %lawfulness and for observance
Of the decencies and prophecies OF life.
That Is, they will learn by personal OBJ
~servation and experience that the assaults
Of its enemies on the municipal Govern
ment OF New York are lying and malicious.
Hence the coming celebration will be of
benefit to the reputation Of the town md OF
its authorities. 1t will lie a good introduce
ton to the activity Of the political cam
paign which will begin when 1t Is over.
