The New Kngland Society.
New York, Dec. 21.—The New Eng-
land society gave its annual dinner in
the assembly room in the Academy of
Music in commemoration of the twelfth
anniversary and the two hundred and
seventy-first anniversary of the land-
ing of the pilgrim fathers. The rooms
were appropriately decorated for the
occasion. Covers were laid for 27(5
guests. The Hon. Galvin E. Pratt,
president of the society, presided. At
the guests table were: Hon. David A.
Boouy, Hon. Willard Bartlett, Hon.
Roswell G. llorr, Gen. Horace Porter.
Hon. lieu L. Sal liman, Ilev. Charles H.
Hall, LL.I).; Hon. John Winslow and
H. L. Polheiuus, president of St. Mi-
chael's Society of Brooklyn.
At the conclusion of the dinner Pres,
blent Pratt made a brief address, after
which the following toasts: “The Pres-
ident of the United States,” and “In
Memory of Gen. Sherman.” Just at
ifchis moment ex-President Grover
“Cleveland entered the banquet room
and was greeted with storms of ap-
plause. On being introduced Mr.
Cleveland spoke as follows:
Mr. President and gentlemen: As
this is the first time I have attended a
dinner given by the New England so-
ciety, I beg to express the gratification
it affords me to enter upon my new ex-
perience in the city of Brooklyn and
among those whom I have always re-
garded as especially my friends. You
are by uo means to suppose that my
failure heretofore to be presen on oc-
casions like this is accounted for by
-any doubt I have had as to my qualili-
•cation for admission. From the time
The first immigrant of my name landed
in Massachusetts, down to the day of
my advent, all the Clevelauds from
whom 1 claim descent were born in
New England. The fact that I first
saw the light inthe state of New Jersey,
I have never regarded as working a for-
feiture of auy right I may have derived
from my New England lineage, nor as
making mo an intruder or merely toler-
ated guest in an assemblage of this
kind. 1 think all of us are old enough
to remember the prophetic words put
opposite certain dates in the old al-
rnanios “about these days look out for
snow.” If almanacs were now made
up as they used to be it would
uot be amiss to set opposite
the latter days of December,
“about these days look out for the glo-
rification of the Pilgrims.” This would
be. notice to those consulting the alma-
nac that a time was foretold when peo-
ple of the country would be reminded
that there were Pilgrims who came to
New Eugland and there set in motion
thp forces which created our wondrous
nation. No one will deny that the Pil-
grims to New England were well worthy
of all that is done or can bo done to
keep them in remembrance. But we
cannot recall their history aud whai,
they did and established aud what they
taught without also recalling that there
have been Pilgrims from New England
who, finding their way to every part of
the land, have taken with them those
habits, opinions and sentiments which,
having an early origin in American soil,
should be best suited to American life
everywhere, and should be the best
guarantee in every situation of the pre-
servation of their integrity and purity
of American institutions.
While all will admit the debt our
country owes to New Eugland influ-
ences, and while none of us should be
unmindful of the benefits to be reason-
ably expected from the maintenance
and spread of these influences, a
thought as suggested which has fur-
ther relation to the mission and duty
of tho pilgrims from New Eugland and
their descendants wherever they may
be scattered throughout the land. If
they are all true to their teaching and
their traditions they will naturally il-
lustrate in a practical way the value of
education and moral sentiment in the
foundations of social life, and value of
industry and economy, as conditions of
thrift and contentment. But these pil-
grims and their descendants, and all
those who, with sincere enthusiasm cel-
ebrate the forefathers' day, will fail in
this discharge of their highest duty, if
yielding to the temptation of any un-
Amerieau tendency they neglect to
teach persistently that in tho early days
there was, $ud that there still ought te
bq, such a thing as true and dis-
tinctive Americanism, or if they neg-
lect to give it a just interpretation.
This certainly does not mean that a
spirit of narrowness or proscription
should be encouraged, nor that
there should be created or kept
alive a fear concerning such
additions to our populations from
other lands as promise assimilation
with our conditions and co-operation
in our aims and purposes. It does,
however, mean the insistence that
every transfer of allegiance from an-
other government to ’our own should
signtfy the takipgon at the same time
of an aggressive and affirmative devo-
t’on to the spirit of American institu-
tions. It means that with us a lov j of
our government for its own sake and
for what it is in an essential factor of
citizenship, and that it is only made
full and complete by the adoption of
......... ‘ " ;hi ‘ ‘ ‘
the ideas and habits of thought which
underlie our plan of popular rule, It
means that one fills a place in our citi-
zouship unworthy, who regards it sole-
ly as vantage ground where he may fill
his purse and better his condition. It
moans our government is not suited to
a selfish, sordid people, and that in
their hands it is not safe. This is a
time when there is pressing need for
the earnest enforcement of these
truths, and occasions like this cannot
be better improved than by leading us
to such self examination aud self cor-
rection as shall fit us to illustrate and
teach the lessous of true Americanism.
Wheu we heie recall the landing of
the Pilgrims let us remember that
they not only sought “Freedom
to Worship God,” but they also
sought to establish the freedom and
liberty of manhood. When we dwell
upon their stern and sturdy traits, let
us remember that these nurtured the
spirit which achieved American inde-
pendence and that in such soil alone
can its fruits ripen to bless our people.
Wheu we contemplate how completely
conscience guided their lives and con-
duct, let us resolve that conscience
shall find a place in every phase of our
citizenship, and when we learn of their
solicitude aud care for their new found
home, let us acknowledge that unselfish
love of country can alone show us the
path of political duty. With such pre-
paration as this, leaving no place for
the ignoble thought that our govern-
ment can, without perversion, hold out
unequal rewards and encourage selfish
designs, we shall teach that this heri-
tage of ours has been confided from
generation to generation to the patriot-
ic. and loving care of true Americanism
and that this alone can preserve it; to
shelter a free and happy people pro-
tecting all, defending all, and blessing
all.

or of internal revenue today in regard
to the charges against him. It is said
a change in this office has been deter-
mined upon, but it is not known
whether action will be taken before the
recess of congress.
Mexican New*.
City of Mexico, Dec. 21.—The St.
Louis consulate question uppers to be
settled and matters will remain as they
are. The evidence clearly shows that
Mr. Cahill has been entirely honest
and that all his acts have been within
proper limits. It is said no species of
trickery can remove him, and that the
government will not take up or con-
sider any more differences between lo-
cal merchants.
Congress has closed until April.when
the states’ rights divorce biil will be
taken up and a new budget presented,
which will show a considerable surplus
in favor of the government, as Presi-
dent Diaz is reducing expenses by in-
troducing many economies.
Catarino Garza, the s vealled revolu-
tionist, has proposed to the govern-
ment to lay uown his arms for £10,000
or fora consulate in the United States.

Plumb’* Successor.
Topeka, Kas., Dec. 21.—The list of
probable successors to the late Senator
Plumb is increasing rapidly. The can-
didates most prominently mentioned
are: Chief Justice Albert H. Horton.
ex-Congressman E. N. Morrill, ex-Con-
gressman S. R. Peters, George R. Peck
general solicitor of the Santa Fe, ex-
Governor Thomas A. Osborn, Benjamin
Simpson and George T. Anthony. Jus-
tice Horton, who has been more prom-
inently mentioned than any other po-
litician, stated this morning that under
no circumstances would he accept the
position if it was tendered him. A
personal enmity between Governor
Humphrey and ex-Senator Ingalls, it is
believed, places the latter out of the
race. There is now some talk of Gov-

Washington, Dec. 21.—The officials
of the state and navy departments ob-
served a studied reticence today in re-
gard to the Chilian affair. It was
learned, however, that no communica-
tions have been received from Chili by
either department since Thursday last,
when the secretary of state received a
long message from Minister Egan.
While no positi re information can be
obtained as to the exact character of
this message, it is known to have ref-
erence to the political refugees now-
under the protection of the Amorican
minister. It is thought no action will
be taken by this government until it is
officially advised of the result of the
investigation by the Chilian authori-
ties of t he killing of the sailors of the
Baltimore. The United States steam
ship Boston left Montevideo on the
11th inst. and will reach Valparaiso in
a day or two.
The secretary is informed of an
amendment to the tariff in the federal
district of Mexico by which a duty of
50 cents per 100 kilograms, gross weight,
is established on rice paper, blotting
paper, wrapping paper, except for col-
ored papers for wrapping and unsized
paper, except for cigarette wrapping.
The uet gold in the treasury today
amounts to $129,750,38!), a decrease of
nearly two million dollars since the
10th instant. The last balanceis $132,-
200,000. Tho lowest figure it has reach-
ed this month. That the president de-
sires to complete the organization of
the new circuit courts as rapidly as
possible is shown by the fact that he
conferred today with Justice Lamar
and Senators Stanford and Felton in
regard to filling the vacancies in the
fifth and ninth circuits. The prospect-
ive early adjournment of the Senate,
however, may delay these nominations
as well as that of tho eighth circuit un-
til after the recess of congress.
Collector Warm castle of Pittsburg
eruor Humphrey resigning, making
Gi
Lieutenant-Governor Felt governor,
who could appoint Mr. Humphrey sen-
ator. Neither Mr. Humphrey nor Mr.
Felt would consent to be interviewed
concerning the rumor. Mr. Humphrey
said he would not even confer on the
situation at all until after the obse-
quies and interment, and intimated
that any candidate who showed inde-
cent haste in pressing his claims would
lose all chauee of appointment.
The Tilden Will Cane.
White Plains, N. Y.—The much ad-
journed Tilden will case which was set
down for a further hearing today in
the Surrogates court, was again post-
poned till Dec. 28. It is understood
that the executors will be ready on
that day to give an accounting.
Supreme Court..
Washington, Dec 21.—The United
States supreme court adjourned today
for two weeks, it being customary to
adjourn over the Christmas holidays.
Railway Accident.
Statington, Pa., Dec. 21.—The north
bound Lehigh Valley Buffalo express
struck a rock that had rolled from the
mountain side at Roekport near here
this morning and the engine was de-
molished and Michael Labe le who was
riding on the engine was crushed to
death. The fireman was badly hurt
and the passengers were shaken up,
though none were in jured. While the
south bound Buffalo express was run-
ning around the wreck the train was
derailed but no one w-as hurt.
The Effect of Plumb’* Death.
Washington, Dec. 21. — Senator
Plumb’s death will give the northwest
another committee chairmanship, for
Senator Dolph. of Oregon, will go to
the head of the committee on public
lands. Just what changes will be
brought about in the formation of com
mittoes by tbe death of Senator Plumb
cannot easily at this time be foresha-
dowed. These will depend very largely
upon the character of its successor. If
ex-Senator Ingalls should be appointed
there would have to be very much of a
readjustment, for senatorial courtesy
would insist on Mr. Ingalls getting a
place on as many as possible of his old
committees.
