seven.

The alleged supernatural powers Of
the seventh son of a seventh son are
merely an illustration Of the mystical
powers Of that number, which has
somehow caught the Imagination OF
mankind. The seventh day and the
seventh or jubilee year Of the Jews Is
a case in point, but there are also the
seven wise men, the seven wonders Of
the world. the seven lamps Of archi-
lecture, the seven sleepers, the seven
sisters and the seven senses, the last
being an obvious concession to super
stition. Indeed, from the seven church

NEW SpAPER OPINION
Democratic Harmony

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
No special effort was made to have
Grover Cleveland attend the dinner
given by the Manhattan Club on Satur-
day night As member, he received
the customary notification, to which he
lappears to have paid NO attention what
ever.
He was right He is the most dis
tinguished Democrat in the United
States lie has served two terms in
the White House and has three times
been nominated for the Presidency. The
dinner was scheduled as an event of
great political significance IL was
given so that Democrats of eminen0e
should be furnished with an oppOr-
tunity to take counsel with each other.
so that the party might take its bear
ings. Not to differentiate Grover
cleveland. not to take him into special
account was to virtually tell his that
he was not wanted. that his foom was
better than his company. This is said
on the assumption that the reporters
are not mistaken, that only the custo-
mary notification was sent to Prince
ton
NOT bhOuld the cluD be TOO severely
criticised. Il has reserved the seat of
honor for David b. Hill, who has long
been a political pilgrim with a special
preference Possibly he was consult
er- Possibly his own acceptance was
conditional Possibly he stipulated
that he should be the star performer,
in which event the club could hardly
have done otherwise

Both the Every Evening and the
Evening Journal are now favoring a
compromise on the Welsbach gas lamp
contract. Our two contemporaries are
thus on record as being willing to COM
promise with a transaction that is rank
with suspicion and tainted with mys-
terry. They are willing that the tax
payers should ignore the questionable
action OF the old board of directors of
tho Street and Sewer Department, and
they are advocating the adoption OF
methods Of awarding contracts that are
not for the welfare of the city or for
the financial benefit of the taxpayers
