AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP. Address Delivered by Ex-President Grover Cleveland At the Banqg«t In Columbus, O., In Honor ,f the Seventy-Seventh Birthday Anuliemry of Hon. Alton G. Thurman. Columbus, (X, Not. it.—Following is the address, in fall, of Hon. 0rover Cleveland, delivered at the Thurman banquet last night in response to the toast: “American Citizenship.” tin. PUKSIDIXt ASD GEKTLEMSS- t folio* the promptings at a heart lull of tleVotlon and Veneration, as I tender from the Ueinuc - raCy of the great State of hew fork. Heir tribute of rffection for the man wboin we honor to-night I am commissioned to claim for my State herfuil share of the glorr which has been shed npon the American name and character, l>i one whose careor and example can not be pre-empted and whose renown can not be limited in ownership to the neighbors and frionds of any locality. We eontest every exclusive pretension to his fame and greatness, because he Is a neighbor to all the people of the land; because he is the friend of all who love their country; because bis career splendidly illustrates the best and strongest elements of onr National Character j and because his example belongs to all h-:s countrymen. It is fitting that tlioso who have faith in onr destiny as a nation, who believe that j there are noble things which belong distinctively to onr character as a people and who prize at its trus worth pure American cltisensbip, should gather here to-night. It is given us to Oontempiate the highest statesmanship, the most unyielding and disinterested devotion to the interests of the people, and the most valuable achievements in the cause of onr country’s welfare,ail of which have been stimulated and • accomplished through the influence and Impulse of true, unperverted, sturdy Americanism. We rejoice in the example afforded on this occasion of genuine American citisenship, revealed to ns as a safe and infallible interpreter of duty in all the emergencies of a long and honorable public career, and as an unfailing guide to useful

iicss ana uuut*. Id this presence and in the atmosphere ot these reflections, we should not miss the lesson they commend to us. nor tail to renew.our appreciation of the Talus of this citizenship, and revive our apprehension of the sentiments and conditions in which it has its rise and growth. And first of all we should be profoundly grateful that tile elements which make up the strength and vigor or American citizenship are so naturally related to our situation, and are so simple. The intrigues ot monarchy which taint the individual character'of the subject; the splendor which dazzles the popular eye and distracts the attention from abuses and stifles discontent; the schemes of conquest and selfish aggrandizement which make a selfish people, have no legitimate place in our national life. Hjre the plain people of the land are the rulers Their investiture of power Is only accompanied with the conditions that they should love their Country, that they shonld jealously guard and protect its interests and fair fame, and that all the intelligence with which they are endowed should be devoted to an understanding of its needs and the promotion of its welfare. - These are the elements of American citizenship, and these are the conditions upon which our free institutions were intrusted to ourpeople, in full reliance, at the beginning and for all time to come, upon American manhood, consecrated by the highest and purest patriotism. A country broad and new, to be snbdued to the purpose of man's ezistence, and promising vast and independent resources, and a people .intelligently understanding the valne of a free nation amT^olding fast to- an intense affection for ifshistory and its heroes, have bad ranch to do with molding our American character and giving it hardihood and vigor. But it should never be forgotten that the influence which, more than all other things, has made our people safe depositories ot governmental power, and which has furnished the surest guaranty of the strength, and perpetuity of the Republic, has its source in the American home. Here our patriotism is born and entwines itself with the growth of filial love, and here our children are tanght the story of our freedom and independence. But above all, herein the bracing and wholesome atmosphere of uncomplaining frugality and economy, the mental and moral attributes of our people have been firmly knit and Invigorated. Never could it he sai l of any other country so truly SB of ours, that the permanency of its institutions depends upon its homes. t hava spoken of frugality and economy as important factors in American life. 1 find no fault with the accumulation of wealth, and am glad to see energy and enterprise receive their fair reward. But I believe that our Government in its natural integrity, is exactly suited to a frugal and economical people; and I believe it is safest in the bands of those who have been made strong and self-reliant in their citizenship, by self -denial and by the suTTonndings of an enforced economy. Thrift and careful watchfulness of expenditure among the people tend to secure a thrifty government; and cheap end careful living on the part ot individuals ought to enforce economy in the public expend! •

When, therefore, men In high places of trust, charged with the responsibility of making and executing our laws, not only condemn bnt flippantly deride cheapness and economy within the homes of onr people, and when the expenditure of the Government are reckless and wasteful, we may be^nre that something Is wrong with ns, ana that a condition exists which c ills for a vigorous and resentful defence of Americanism, by every man worthy to be called an American citixen. Upon the question of cheapness and economy, whether it relates to individuals or to the operations of theG overnment,the Democratic party true to its creed and its traditions, will unalterably remain attache! to onr plain and frugal people. They are especially entitled to the watbchfnl care and protection of their Government; and when they are borne down with burdens greater than they can bear, and are made the objects of scorn by hard taskmasters, we will not leave their side. AS the great German reformer, insisting upon his religions convictions, in the presence of his accusers ex claimed: JI can iIp nought else. Here 1 stand. God help me,” so, however mnel: others may mock and deride cheapness and the poor and frugal men and women of oilland, we will stand forth in defense of their simple Americanism defiantly exolaimingr Te can do nou| bt else. Here wo stand.” Thus when the question is raised whether •nr people shall have the'necessaries of life nt a cheaper rt ;e, we are not ashamed to confess onrseli es “in full sympathy with thedemaud for cheaper coats;” and wo are not disturbed by the hint that this seems “necessarily ts involve a oheaper man or woman under'.he coats.” When the p.-omoter of a party measure which Invadef every home in the land with higher prices declares that "cheap and nasty a:o together, and this wnole system of cheap things is a badge of poverty; for cheap merchandise mams cheap men and cheap men mean a cheap country,” we indignantly repudiate such an interpretation of American sentiment. ‘ And when another one, high in party Councils, who has becimo notorious as the advocate of a contrivance to perpetrato partisan supremacy by outrageous interfei-i enoe with the suffrage, announces that “the cry for cheapness Is un-American,” we scornfully reply that his speech does not indicate the slightest conception of true Americanism. - I will not refer to other utteranoes of like Import from similar sources. I eonten t my - self with recalling the most prominent and significant. The wonder Is that these things were addressed by Americans to Americans: What was the occasion of these condemnations of cheapness and what had honest American men and women done, or what were they likely to do that they should be threatened with the epithets “cheap,” "nasty” and “un-American?” It is hard to speak patiently as we answer these questions. Step by step a vast number of our people had been led on, following blindly in the path of party. They had been filled with hate and sectional prejudice; they had been cajoled with misrepresentations and* false promises) they had been corrupted With money and by appeals to their selfishness. AU these things led up to their final betrayal to satisfy the demands of those who Itsd supplied the fund lor thslr eenuptlo* fr ■

This betrayal *u palpable; and It wiia impossible deny at- conceal the {act that the pretended relict tendered to the poop! • in fulfilment of a promise to lighter, the burdans oi their llio, made bf the party entrusted with tile Government, was bet a scheme to piy She debts iucarred by tha purchase ol party success, while it furthe r increased the impoverishment of th« masses. The people were at last aroused and demanded ntt explanation. They had bee a taught for oar hundred years that in the distribution of benefits their Government should bo administered with equality uni Justice. They had learned that wealth was hot Indispensable to respectability and that it did n»t entitle its possessors to especial governmental favors. Humble menwtthseautyiBCon-.es had been encouraged by the influence and the spirit ot on r Institutions, to practice eoraouty and frit guilty to the end that they might enjoy to the Utmost the rewards of their toil. Thu influence of the American home was still about them. In their simplicity they kaevr nothing of a new dispensation which msdu cheapness disreputable, had iher still loved the cheap coats of Hincoln and Garfield, anil hundreds of tneir countrymen wlfom they j held in veneration. And thus these an- - sophisticated Americans, unconscious oil their wrong doing, demanded the redemp- ! tion of party pledges and clamored fot cheapness, in order that they might provide the necessaries and comfort of life for themselves and tbnlr families at the lowest possible cost. The leaders of the party, wb ioh was caught In the set of robbery and which was arraigned by the people for a violation of its trust. Were forced by their sad predicament to a desperate expedient. To attempt to reverse the current ot true Americanism and discredit the most honorable sentiments belonging to American manhood, were th6 disgraceful tasks of those who insnited our people by She announcement of the doctrine that to desire cheapness was to love nastiness, and to practice economy and frugality was an- American. Thus do we plainly see that when the path pointed out by patriotism and American citizenship is forsaken by a party in power, for schemes of selfishness and for unscrupulous conspiracies for partisan success, Its coarse inevitably leads to unjust favoritism, neglect ot tbs Interests of the masses, entire perversion of the mission of republican institutions, and, in some form, io the most impudent and outrageous insult id true American sentiment. It can not be denied that political events In the putt have gone far toward encouraging arrogant party assumption. livery thongbifnl and patriotic man has tit times been disappointed and depressed bv the apparent indiffieronee and demoralization of

cue people. Bat such reflections h ave mo place In the felicitations*of io-nigbs. This is a time when faith !u oar countrymen should be fully reestablished. The noise of a recent political revolution is still beard throughout the land; the people have Just demonstrated that there 13 a point beyond which they can not be led by blind partisanship, and that they are quite competent to examine and correctly decide political questions concern(nit tiieii rights and their welfare They have unmercifully resented every attack upon true American manhood, and have taught parly leaders that, though slow to anger, they take terrible revenges when betrayed. They permit us to forgive our honored guest for all tiie cheap coats he has ever worn, for they have declared them to be in fashion. They have also decreed! that the Deealbgue u«*; a place ia our polities, for they nave enforced the command: “Thou shaft not steal,** and have rendered an cmphafiie verdict against those who iiaveborne false witness. Nothing could so well accompany the honors we pay oar distinguished guest as the celebration on his birthday of the Victory which has just been achieved in vindication of American citizenship —for in him we honor the man who has best illustrated true American manhood.. Our rejoicing and bis are increased, as we also celebrate to-night the triumph of a Dsino* cratic principle tor which ho fought and fell but two years ago; and to complete our Joy and his we are permitted to indulge in true Democratic enthusiasm over the stea I fastness and devotion to its creed exhibited by our party, which knowing no discouragement, bos fought to victory in the people's cause. Who can now doubt our countrymen's appreciation <tf that trait, so well illustrated in the character of Allen G. Thurman, which prompted him throughout his long career, at all times am! under all circumstances, and Without regard to personal consequences, to do the things which his conscience and Judgment approved, and which seemed to him to fee in the interests of his country and in accordance with his Democratic faith? Who can now doubt that conscience and cqur.tge point oat the way to public duty. If we entertain more solemn thoughts on this occasion, let them be concerning the responsibility which awaits ns as onr fellow countrymen place !n our keeping their hopes and their trust. Wo shall fail in our obligation to them If we stifle conscience and duty by ignoble partisanship; but wo shall meet every patriotic expectation if, In all we dp we follow the guidance of true and honest Democracy, illumined by the. Ugfet of genuine American citizenships Electricity and Butterflies. M. Nicolas Wagner, by a aeries oi experiments displayed before the Academy of Sciences about tbs year 1865, showed that electricity produced variation in the color of butterflies. His experiments wore performed on vanessa urtica. He found that electric currents changed reds into orange and blacks into reds, and with a constant battery a weak current produced spots varying in shape with She strength of the current He fnrther demonstrated that the colors naturally existing in the butterfly’s wings were doe to currents in that organ, the most powerful of which passes from the attachment of the wing outward along the middle nervure to the outer edged. In these experimesits he used a Bois-Reymond galvanometer of 30,000 coils. The following are the conclusions he arrived at: 1. The existence of fixed electric currents in the wings of insects. 2. The possibility by means of electric currents to provoke a change in the shade and disposition of the coloring matter. 3. And the possibility, by means of these currents, to produce a kind of atrophy and to change the shape of the wings. He concludes as follows: ’'With these facts as basis, I propose to pursue ray. research on this subject.”—Scientific Gossip

A flniwu xeMWa Fate. A schoolmaster, sixty-eight years old, was pensioned from a Mecklenburg estate aboar, twelve years ago, after having tango t there twenty- seven years. His pension consisted of a eow, a shakylittle cottage, a small parcel of ground on which to raise a few bushels of potatoes and a few small measures of rye. The old man received nothing, however, toward defraying his daily expenditures for food, heat and light, and so it came about that be was obliged to go ont on the highway as a laborer for 1814 cents a day. In the heat of summer and the raw, wet days of fall he has for years worked patiently and uncomplainingly among rough men who were formerly his scholars, enduring without a word the taunts and reproaches of an unfriendly inspector .On the second and fourth Saturday of every month he stood its line with the other laborers, his wages book in baud, and awaited his turn to receive the paltry sura due him. Twelve years of the old man’s life have passed thus. He has just passed his eightieth year, and is without a prospect of a natter future.
