Need New Declaration of Independence.
I'VE need the patriotic duty in this
body today OF rising up and formulating
a new declaration of independence. We
need to restore this House to the great
patriotic plane on which the fathers of
the Republic placed it, and where every
individual member on this floor stands on
an equal and an exact plane with every
other. lApplause.l
I'VE operate here under a set Of rules
confessedly designed to belittle the hopes
and dwarf the ambitions OF the individual
members of this body, and at the same
time to vest more power in the hands Of
one or two men than was ever enjoyed by
Oriental despot or a ten button mandarin.
81 say TO you, my friends, that the sys-
TEN is rotten at both ends. 1t is rotten
at one end because it robs the individual
members in this house of the power that
the Constitution OF the United States and
his credentials as a member on this floor
entitle him TO; IL is rotten at the other
end because il vests power in men that
have no right to it, and oft-times places
on them duties that they have no capacity
to fulfill. Applause and laughterI

PaIty's True Friend.
''The true friend of his party is the man
who does not sit idly by and watch his
party drift into disrepute and toward de
struction. but the man who rises up and
calls attention to the evils that exist.
Nero sat on the hilltops and iiddled while
the Eternal City rose in smoke and sank
in ashes. and we are sitting here idly and
unconcerned while the great power of this
ancient House is being evaded, belittled,
debauched, and destroyed. IApplause.l

Mr.. Cushman then turned his attention
to the pending bill, and to the attitude
which the Republican majority had as
sumed toward it, He dealt the Republi-
can leaders many clever blows which were
productive of uproarious laughter and ap-
plause. He arraigned them in the keenest
sarcasm and ridicule for bctraying the
principles of protection and going OFF
after Democratic free trade.
Among the word pictures which he
drew Of the position of the Republican
leaders, was one of Chairman Payne,
standing with one foot upon the wall of
protection and the other in the mire of
free trade, with his hip pockets bulging
out with pieces of the Republican plat
form

with little red fire would bring tears TO
the eyes of an Egyptian mummy.
He then took up Representative T
venor and pointed to his alleged incon-
sistency. When he (Cushman) went out
upon the stump this fall and his constitu-
ents asked him for explanations he said
he would read to them from the three
volumes Of speeches by Mr.. Grosvenor.
He could explain any side of any PROPOSE
tion advanced, he said adding that there
was one virtue to the Ohioan's speeches,
aDd that was that it waa possible TO prove
or disprove any thing under the sun by
reference to them.

Report of Committee viii
Not Be Made Public
At Present.
TO GENERAL ASSEMBLY FIRST
Revision of Five Points in the Confess
sion of Faith, and Brief Statement
Of the Reformed Doctrine Embodying
Sixteen Articles Will Be Reported.

The creed revision committee of the
Presbyterian Church, which has been Sit
ting in this city for some time, Drought
its labors to harmonious close yesterday
afternoon, and late in the evening there
were few of the members left in Wash
ington
The result of the sessions, which have
been marked by enviablc concord, is that
the chairman Of the committee, DR.. Henry
Minton. of California, will report to the
General Assembly in the Fifth Avenue
Church, New York, on May Is, a revision
of five points in the Confession of Faith,
and brief statement of the reformed
doctrine embodying sixteen articles.
To Be Submitted to General Assembly
made public until sub.nitted 10 the Cen
eral Assebl-.
The reference in chapter of the Con-
fession OF Faith to the eternal DEGREES OF
God and the elect infant clause in chap
ter 10 will be revised by a declaratory
statement, The other points of revision
include the omission of the present refer
ence that the Pope of Rome is anti
Christ, that it is a sin to refuse to take
an oath. and Il change in the phraseology
of the statement that the good works of
unregenerates are not pleasing to God.
The reference to the Pope of Rome is 4
relic of the days of the Commonwealth
in England and the clause on oaths dates
from the same time. The liberality of
modern times is responsible for their
omission.
Sessions Remarkably Harmonious.
The brief statement of the reformed
doctrine was unanimously agreed upon
with a possible slight variance on minor
points. But upon no important point in
the report is there any disagreement. The
sessions have been remarkably harmoni-
Gus, It is stated.
The statement includes sixteen articles,
of which fifteen are as follows: God, reve-
lation. eternal purpose. the creation, the
sin of man, grace of God, our Lord Jesus
Christ, faith and repentance, the Holy
Spirit, the new birth and the new life, the
resurrection and the life to come, the
church and the sacrament, the last iudg-
ment, Christian service and final tri-
umph.
