In Dr. Edward Lasker this country receives
aa a visitor one of the prominent stater-men of
Germany, and one of tbo most learned law?
yers of berlin. Like nearly all politician* of
eminence in the Empire, Dr. Leaker failed m
often to agree with Prince bismarck that he
finally withdrew from nctive connection with
his party?tlie National Liberals. Tin re seen,*.
to be no immediate prospect that bia. party
will be able to profit by big leadership, and
Dr. Lasker, therefore, will spend considerable
time in the United States. Tbe object of his
"visit is plateau mid tbe study of oar institu
tions.
r
Probably no regiment will get more good
out of tho Camp of Instruction at Peekskill
this MMOB than has been obtained by the
71st, which returns to this city to-day. It is
not because this regiment needed instruction
moro t.ian some others, bat because it is
made up of men able to profit by their
advantages, and lx-cause the officers per?
formed their duties efficiently. Thc
7th Regiment goes out to-day, and dur?
ing ita stay at Peekskill the camp will
present an unusually fine apoeteele. Over
800 men will turn out. and they are so
well drilled already that their mano-iivi.?
on tbe parade ground can hardly be improved.
Still, the members of thc gallant 7th, after
? week's experience b tamp, will doubt
moo realize that there are some points about
e soldier's life even for them to leam.
As no lives were lost in the accident on the
llan_i-.tt.in Beach Railroad near Flatland* on
Thursday evening, the public will rest content,
probably, with tbe pious assertion of tl.e com?
pany's officers that the affair was "a dispensa?
tion of I*_,.vid..__c_.? If lives had been l?st
however. ko,U(! moro satisfactory explanation

Ortvj against thc policy of thc 2S
^ward the Roman CathoUcs, and he ali rt
tere to laws which he says arc now preparing I
for the purpose of inflicting more hardahip on
the Church. This protest will please the
French Clerical party immensely. Nothing
would delight them more than an open quarrel
between the Church and the Republic, to which
they are bitterly hostile and which they ar?
dently desire to destroy. And if the Pope
will not break off all relations with France,
the next besf thing for him to do, in their
opinion, is to heep up a constant fault-finding.
The Ministry, however, will uot mind tlie re?
monstrances from the Vatican very much. It
is too Jacobin in its tendencies for that, and
so, if Leo XIIPs communication haa any oflect
at all, it will probably strengthen tbo Gov?
ernment in their present attitude.
__.
It is evident that there is to be difficulty in
di .posing of the Chiricabtia Apaches recently
captured in the Sierra Madrcs. General Crook
does not agree at all in tbe wisdom of Secre?
tary Teller's suggestion to the War Depart?
ment that tba captives shall be held as pris?
oners and punished for their crimes. He
thinks they should be placed on the San Carlos
i('.serration, where they could bo easily con?
trolled ; and that other treatment would drive
them to the mountains again. General Crook's
opinion is certainly entitled to great consider?
ation. He has had much experience, not only
in fighting the Indians, but in managing them
after they have surrendered. It seem* likely,
therefore, that Secretary Teller and Sec-rotary
Lincoln will both be inclined to follow Gen?
eral Schofield's suggestion that for tho present,
at least, the captives shall be left in General
Crook's hands. It does not seem to have oc?
curred to General Crook, however, that tie re
might be a middle course between punishing
all the Chiricahuas and placing them all in
clover on the reservation. He says nothing
about the plan of destroying their tribal char?
acter?of scattering them in small groups here
and there, so that they would be too feeble
even to make troublo by intrigue. May not
______ be a possible solution of a difficult
problemt ____________________________________
Jt'DGF HOADLY'S CANDIDACY.
Tho Ohio Democrats have made a character?
istic nomination fer Governor. They have se?
ll eteil from among the aspirants for tho posi?
tion the man who possessed at once the least,
Democracy and the most money. .Judge Hoadly
has been an indifferent sort of Demoer.it for oe!J
six years, but he is reported by Democrats to
enjoy an income of (200,000 a year and to have
also an exclusive tap upon Mr. Tilde n's famous
barrel. It was charged bj Denn-ciata during
tlie Iession of the convention that the support
of a majority of tlie Hamilton County delega?
tion had eeat tho Judge flO.OCO, and that he
was willing to pay $50,000 for the nomination.
lt was also charged that his ft uud* had canted
primaries for him by practices which wore at
least sharp, and had sci-urod delegate* byre
sorting to methods which were calculated to
suppress tho popular will rather thau to give
it expression. None of these charges may be
true; but they were made bj Democrats, and
the inference is that they knew what thev wero
talking about. The intimation was persistently
disseminated among the delegates that if the
Judge ..er? nominated thero would bo plenty
of money during tho Pompeian, and thal i- tea
kind of inducement which BO Demociatic con?
vention has ever been abje to resist.
Left to exercise their free will, it is uot im?
probable that the delegates would not have
nominated tbo Judge. Thc old ? \. .if-limx?*. "
of the party and tho leading Democratic news?
paper of the State were against him. Senator
Thurman made no secret of hi_ opposition, say?
ing openly that he was in favor nf General
Durbin Ward because he was tin- rtTOBfi >t man
and because ho knew he could bc relied on
when wanted. The beating of this 00*01 vation
waa clear enough. Tlie Senator wished it to ba
understood that he did not believe Judge
Hoadly to be either strong or trustwoithy. The
methods used to secure his nomination wen- not
such as to iiicrenso faith in him or add to his
stiength in his patty. His supporters laired to
trust his chances to an untrammelled vote ol
ihe delegates, and in-i-trd upon an enforcement
of the unit rule. The flint ballot was taken
under that rule, and although tho chairman
subsequently decided against it, ninny delegates
were afraid to violate theil instructions and
voted finally against thrir individual prefer?
ences. Ho wus really nominated, therefore*
under "gag law," and that feet of itself la cer?
tain to dampen party eethaaiean for him.
Then tho convention itself was little Ion than a
riot from beginning to end. All aeooonta agree
that the delegates manifested their attitude in
favor of free liquor in ways much moro em?
phatic than the platform declaration, and that
the disorder was so great as to drive away in
disgust Senator .'burmun and other respectable
Democrats.
The manner of his nomination in not such,
theie fore, as to give Judge Hoadly a flattering
start. His record is likely to prove a doubtful
blessing. Previous to 1876 he was a l.cpuh
lican, and his fh.t appearance as a Democrat
was in | grotesque legal defence of tho Cronin
l.leetoral College in Oregon. Ho has always
bad a fondness for doing things aaespeetad and
eccentric, and has never been regarded with
confidence hythe leaders of My party. I i i -
present popularity in the Demociatic party is
due to two facts?bis appearance M counsel of
the liquor dealers against both the Pond bill
and tho Scott law, and bis large wealth. While
hie championship ol uurcsti'iclcd nnd untaxed
liquor will strengthen him with the liquor in
tereata, it is likely tc weaken him with the test
Of tho people. The Scott law, which he has op?
posed, will, if sustained l.y the (Joint as eooati
tutional, bring into tho State Tie.iMuy about
$2,000,000 a year fi oin taxes collected from a
business which BOW pays no tuxes whatever.
lt is easy to aaa tho effect of au argument like
that upon the taxpayers of the State. Tho Judge
v. ill run for Governor on the is.Mie of In e ino tv
foi the Damoeratedaring the campaign and
free liquor for everybody in citso the Demo?
crats get into power. We do not believe lhat
thia ieB good year for lhat kind ot an issue in
Gino. .The people are likely to agree with Sen?
ator Thurman, who la represented aa saying as
he fled tba ronvoniion : u Tlie licket cauuot bo
elected and does not deserve to be."
TAMMANY AM> JUE STATS CONTENTION.
John Kelly is abroad in the State gening
ready for the coming Convention. Not par*
souully is ho thus a bi omi, hut by several
shrewd and trustworthy representative!,- not
with tumultuous brass band, but with those
things on tho quiet that enter into a still hunt.
Ever and anon be pauses in his journeying to
Btoop and sharpen something upon tho soft
leather of one. of hi* shoos, lt is a tomahawk
that he sharpens, and during the exercise be
smiles a peculiarly dangerous looking smile.
Ii Governor Cleveland could see him at such
moments he might be more firmly than ever
convinced that in a trial of conclusions with
such a foeman be would have need of all bis
resources of political sagacity and influence..
Is Kelly going to gain admittance to tho
Democratic State Conveutiou T It is oue of tho
most interesting and perplexing oi the minor
current political questions. The Governor
priauuiab.y will labor for his exclusion, tiega
Kelly did his best to give Mr. Cleveland's ad
ministration a bad set-back by preventing Mr.
Murtha's confirmation. And the chairman of
the Democratic State Committee?who is
credited with having potent influence with bis
fellow-members?will doubtless side with the
Governor. We feel warranted in conjecturing
that ho will, becanse his newspaper! Ihe Albany
Argus, made the refusal of the Tammany Sena?
tors to vcte for Murtha's confirmation the oc?
casion for heapiug a generous measure of
abuse upon Tammany. Witii tho Governor
fighting him and the chairman of the State
Committee fighting him, Mr. Kelly's prospect*
of toeing the inside of the convention woulti not
be ever bright. Hut perhaps, ? in tho interest
of harmony,1' both these goutlemen will decline
to insist that Kelly shall be kept outside. Ono
thing is certain, however, they are not going tu
bring the Tammany chief to terms; they are
not going to compel him to beg for a scat in the
CDiivention. Not at all. One of his outlying
reconnoitering proxies was lately interviewed
by a reporter of The Albany Journal and, in
response to a question touching the convention,
he said : " Tammany Hall will not go on lier
"knees uext fall to secure representation in
"the State Convention. That is flat. After
u the way it rolls np majorities for tho party, it
? is simply disgraceful for its delegates to be
"continually asking recognition and getting the
"cold shoulder. It has tin-d ol thia procedure.
" Tins fall it will ignore entirely the State Com?
mittee and intrust its fate to the party. Wo
"propose to settlo once for all tho interminable
"tjuanels which harass every convention, year
"atlei year." This is plain and plucky. It
niear.s that Tammany will demand a scat in tlie
convention as her right, and tliat even as she
declined to confirm .Mr. Murtha last spring, so
she will decline to confirm the authority of tho
State Committee this fall. Mr. Kelly's repre?
sentative conveyed another interesting piece of
iiitonuatiou to the reporter. Ile was asked if
Tammany would meddle in tlie making of a
ticket, and replied : " iNot at all, at present. Of
"course we should hiive a voice if we aro to
" vote for the ticket, and wo wont vote for it nn
"1. M wc help name it." Tin re is nothing involved
in that -statement. If Tammany is ki pt out of
the convention, Tammany will bolt the ticket
that the convention noininati s.
The Ngubu! will doubtless growl winn they
find that thc Tammany that hung Dp Martha's
niuiiination, instead of being ina humbie, h -
pentant mood, remains truculent and d' 'limit.
And who snail say that they will not do Moth r

At Bnt fiance it may appear that the I

everywhere else, honesty is tbe beet policy; it
would pay better iu the end te have Mob cum
plete and positive official Information abonl the
property or locuritJcoottered that the American
borrower or coller OOUld get more nearly what
they are worth.
TbOmoe! important result to lie attained,
however, concerns transaction! among our oun
people. Let us Suppose that they bad tm ans of
knowing exactly how many acres had bren
sown in wheat or cotton; how ninny tons of
pig-iron or rails wero bi ing produced ; or bow
many yards of cotton or woollen goods; would
there not be Vastly leu danger of the ovc pro?
duction which io often prostrates eur Inda -
dies? Or Suppose that they had meansnf know?
ing exactly what truffle eenfa railroad had;
would there he ai nun h danger ai thero it now ol
excessive railroad building 1 Would people
bo as likely as they aro now to sink two or
three hundred millions a year in the construe
Hon of railways for which thero ia at present
no siifiicient need T
lt is uot so difficult aa it may seem to keep
always within roach of tha pOOple trustworthy
information on iuoh mattera. All railways nml
other corporations can be aad ought to be com?
pelled by law to make li (-quent and detailed ro?
ports, It is shit i nonsense to require them to
report once a year, and then to allon them to
make the report six months after the year han
clobed to whieh it refers. Thc largest railroads
in tho country are able to make full reports
eveiy week or month, ami with reasonable
prOSiptnaei; therefore, others can do tho same.
Uther corporations can make sworn ami de?
tailed reports at regular intervals ag well as the
national banks.
Thc difficultr ns to industrial reports is re illy
not greater. De fore tho middle of June tho
Iron arni Steel Association had published te
ttiins from every furuaco lu the country, show?
ing which were In blast, and how mauy were
about to close. Jt would not be a linne difficult
matter to obtain regular monthly reports of the
product in this aad li other important branchal
of manufacture. The private affairs of indi?
viduals would not be dim toned any more than
they are now, but many hurtful and dango ons
rumors would be Mopped or rendered impo?
tent. Every farmer could be required to report
tho acreage sown in either of the principal
crops, and at the closo of harvest to report the
yield. Bo as to oilier departments of industry ;
it would not bediflkult to devise means for
obtaining a vaat umoiiut of valuable in forma?
tion, provided the Government had once ar?
rived at tho conclusion that it mis a duty to do
ao. The Bureaus of Statistics, of Agriculture,
and othera already in existence, could compile
the returns made, and it would not bo a 9\ ry
umeiisonuble tax. in view of the great intercuts
at stake, to require farmers and others to bear
the cost of a few postal card* forwarded to
Washington each year.
The country has grown bo largo that it needs
to know more of its own business, and to got
more promptly than it does the information
upon which the management and the prosperity
of great industries largely depend. Tho first
step is to appreciate the necessity; tbe methods
will not then bc found difficult to arrange.
VOORBEES PREDICTS A POLITICAL BLIZ?
ZARD.
Next to Mayor Harrison, Senator Voorhees is
probably the frankest statesman in tho Demo?
cratic party. The two men agree heal lily iu
believing that a free-trade policy will ruin the
party if it bo adopted in 1884. The Mayor says
ho believes in free trade, but thiuks the party
should pretend to believe in protection till it
gets into power, when it should turn about and
wipe out the whole protective system. Voor?
hees is u shado more diplomatic. Ile was a roar?
ing free-trader previous to November, 1S80.
Tho disaster which befell Generul Hancock
during tbat mouth converted Voorhees in the
twinkling of nu eye. He bas since beeu a pro?
tectionist of tho most thoroughgoing sort. Ho
says in a recent interview that tarift with inci?
dental piotection is the sort of thing the Na?
tional Democratic platform must declare for or
the party will he defeated. " Why," he ex?
claims, u a cow und a gooso aro the greatest
"fool- I know of except a man who thinks a
"tariff can belaid wthout protection." Thia
classification of the ? taiift-for-ievenuc-only "
Democrats was inspired by tho Senator's con?
templation of a cow which persisted in jogging
along the road in front of tho Senator's horse aa
he was riding and talking with tbo reporter.
We treal Mr. Watterson will not hear of it.
Mr. Voorhees makes some estimates ot what
free trade would do for the country which are
not likely to be published as a Democratic
campaign document. Ile says : " Free trade
" would do away with thi! Custom Houses, abol
"isli the duties on imports, and levy a din tt
"tax upon the people for the support of the
"Government. In other words, it would in
"creace general lane8200,000,000, nnd people
"would have lesa to pay taxes with than they
" have now, for labor would be cheapened and
?"industry discouraged." ile declares that the
great materiel prosperity of tha country bas
beOB secured by protection- and 9BJ9 the want
of tba preaent and future is a" tai iii system for
- ie', niue laid with the idea of pint coting homo
" industry hikI ad Mincing us to the higher planet
"of wealth and prosperity." These, bo it it
ineniliered, nro tho titteranret of a former free
trade I'einocr.it. We do not QUOtC them ber ilise
wa bare the slightest idea tbal Mr. Voorhoei is
?lacers in mailing them. Ile la anxious for
Democratic sneers, and he v es that tho only
way to win i' ls to prof ess a derotion t<> protec?
tion. He, hi.r*. ail other Democrats, would shout
for free trade the minute tlie party got posese
?lon of the Government. His utterances are
valuable aa showing (lu faith of an overwhelm?
ing majority ot tiie people ia protective piim-i
.irial their determination to true! no party
which is hostile tn tho-- principles. VoorheM
is morely trying to titted tho stranges! I.cptibli
____? i-t-ue for the temporary nae of the Demo*
t retie party.
< bi one other point his frankness -SSOggeet
ive. He denoeneea the Civil Berrico Reform
la."* uh a sharp .Bepublicen trick, end says the
Democrats will nullify it by ref minn any up
preprtatioo for its enforcement, Ile thinks they
m.iy di> that at tba approaching seaside of Con?
gress, but wa doubt If th. y will be ca. able of
that stupidity. They would bo much more
likely to wait till they got full pe -session of the
lion rntnrnt. After thal there wi ubi I.e little
boee for tba law's perpetuation. The whole
paiiy agrees whh Hr.Voorheea thal "ifthe
"Democrats -un ceri, public attain ought tobe
11 administered by Democrats, and Democrats
" OUghi to do tin necessary clerical work.'' That
ia what Mr. .'(millee . calls "practical politics.''
We h ive no doubt that every true Demnci.it in
the country agreee with him, although i aeneid*
