O'Donoghue, as President of the organization, presided, at the centrfl table, and when t he banquet hail ended first introduced oxChief Justice Dalv, of New Yorl: Citv, who spoke to the toast, "The Day Wo Celebrate," after which a murmur of anticipation filled the' ball, for each of tho several hundreds at the t able kn o w the ex-Presi dent was next on the list, and that to him had been' assigned the duty of responding to the sentiment to "Tho United States," and when the President's brief introduction was concluded' with Mr. Cleveland's name, the dtners leaped1 from their chairs and cheered lustily and while; tho din was at its height Mr. Cfeveh.nd, his face a trifle pale, with interest in the nceue, slowly arose and stood motionless, save for the bows of acknowledgment at the earaentnesii of the re-' ceptiou given him. The cheering having finally subsided, Mr. Cleveland pushed back hit. chair, and. speaking clearly and easily, he said: "The words to which I respond give rise to, such various and impressive reflections that X find it difficult to determine the lino of thought which should he followed. What is naturally' and obviously suggested by the sentiment pro-1 posed, is a countrv marvelous in its growth and development, great in its power and wealth, and free in the character of its institutions and in the spirit of it s people. There is also suggested a broad and hospitable countrv, whtrh opens it gates to the people of all nations wh o are willing to assume the dilties of American c tizeiu hip in exchange for a share in the blessings which God has in store for the Am mean peojle. Korean1 it be said that iu national selftshnet s and sordid complacency ou:r country is blind to the Trelfora of others. Wherever there exists a struggle for freer government md for ma Vs enfranchi semen t there will be foun 1 tho aid and fiympatby of tho people of the United States. In ttii wo but follow the promptings which out free condition ii spiree , and acknowdedge the contribution wo hi.vo received from the sturdy men of other lands to our population, and to iverv element of out greatness. In this reunion of your ancient ai d honorable society reminding us'of such contributions, and whore the value of American citizenship i.i fully acknowledged, it is in every way fitting and proper that we should ihentior with love' and loyalty the United States, I have referred to the" obvious significance of the e words as they are related to a great, prosperous, and free nation. But other nations, too, are great they are prosperous and rich, and in a ntrasure they are free. 'States;' may nu ati any or jauiztd government tyrannical, monarchical, or free. It' is, therefore, most important t hat wo do not miss the reflation t hat 'the United S at es ' alone stand for the one government always free, and founded upon hi man rights and equality before the law. Thus is presented the anityof our States oicid the fundamental importance of that unity, to all we are ana all we hope to be. Our national life la inseparable from this union of the States. Thus it was launched upon its career among the nations of the earth, its machinery is suited to no other conditiom, and its success depends upon it. Whatever might be the achievement!- oi separate' and disjointed States, nothing but the triumph of the U;dted States can fully demonstrate in,' the eyes of tho world the success of the Ameri-4 can experiment of self -government. To the end! that our natior. might be called the Unitecb States, the fathers who forged ho weil the bonds' of our Union, yielded to each other their opinions and discarded their preju dices. In later yeais iu order that the' United States might be saved as a precious heritage, lives were sacrificed and blood was' shed on many a hard-fought battle field. We should not be content with veneration for those who made us a nation, nor with .the sacred and grateful remembrance of those who shed their blood and gave their lives for its perpetuation. We, too, owe a duty to 'the United states.' We' can at least teach fraternitv andtoloration. the sure foundations of cur unity and ol our country's life. "If these lessons are firmly established in the hearts of our coi:ntrymen, we shall, to the extent that we aid in this consummation, perform' tbe duty reYjuirec of s in our day and genera-' tion. Det us, tten, cultivate real "and genutue generosity and fraternal kindness among all our people. Let us resolve that no partition exigency shall excuse the creation or keeping alive of irritation and jealousy among people all charged with tho safety, tho development, aud the triumphs o."f Ar-iericaii institutions. "Our dostiny in before us. It ca.n only be' reached by unioa and harmony. We are not' called upon to surrender or jeopardize any re-; suits in favor of our Union we may have gained in its armed delense, but rather to foster and: Becure those rosalts through the pe triotism of magnanimity. In the presence cf tha duty God has laid upon us as a nation, it should never be forgotten that fai. are waits on dit sen tion and division, and that a grudging acknowledgment of a common brotherhood or a halt in. cooperation in a common patriotic purpose 'Till surely check our national progress. In this assemblage where so large a representation is fo iud of the race which, in all stages of our natioi al life, has done so much to make our country great, aud whose hearts at tuis time turn lovingly to their brethren who struggle for the blessings which are hero enjoyed, I know that reference to any element c f our freedom and happi.hes.i will meet with a heartfelt response. "Here, rtgardlt?i;s of place of birth or of former

allegiance), we inset as American citizens, proud of our country, devoted to her interests and prosperity, and visaing, with enth ibiasm fox those less favored, the happiness, tbe freedom, the strength, and the peace which aire found in tho United States " Various other toasts were responded to by public men.

A Proposition Xhl Iovm That th Government Can Be Sued In Recognition o the Adoption of the National Constitution, etc. San Francisco (Cal.) special. In the United States Circuit Court in tbln dty Judge Sftwyer rendered an ;lmportant decision. By this decision the demurrer of the Unite. States in the case of The Southern Pacific Railroad Company vs. The United States is overruled and a proposition laid c .own that the UnitedStates can be sued by a subject. The Southern pacific Company brought suit against the Government in tho Circuit Court under an act of Congress March 3, 1887, entitled, "An act to provide for bringing suits apainst the Government of tho United States." It set up a claim to a tract of land against the United States, and asked that its title to the lind be established in the petitioner Ly decree cf the court. The lands are odd numbered. Section A lying in the limits of lauds granted by' the United States to the company bv an act approved July, 1866. The petitioner claims tho acts alleged, if true, show tt.e lands w re subj?ct to gant and that the petitioner has per-) formed all the necessary condition?, ts right to a patent is shown, yet the proper oflicerB refa so to issue one as required bv law, and the petitioner prays that it may bo" adjudged entitled to a patent and have such further relief as may be agreeable to equity. The United States demurs tothi proposition on the ground that tho court has no . urisdictionv in such a suit and that the United States cannot' be sued in such case. The Court then says : "In t his case the claim is founded upon a statute of the United States and upon statutory contract and that the value of the me-tter in tlispute excseds $1,000 and is less than 10.000. If the mattors alleged, then, constitute a title claim within! tie meaning of the term as tsed in the statute tae United States is suable thereon in thitf court, and this court has ;urisdict.ion over it concurrent with court claims. Afrer careful1 consideration of the matter I am satisfied that they do constitute a claim w ithin the meaning of the act. Tho statute is remedial, and remedial statutes are to be liberally construed."
