How the pro-.* of this eonntrj handles an af?
fair of National impoHanofl is shown by thc
amount of matter tcle-sTai-heri from Hi, Lom's
during Ur- pad v.t-.'l;. 'Uio total number of

An impoi-tant eas,-' is lo be Uglied hefoi-e the
a^tipi-eiiie Court at Trenton this week. 1.. \Y.
Crane was appointed Pi csu ut or of Ene. County
Iv the (Joveinor, but the nomination was re?
jected by the Senate. Thc Governor waited
?until the Li-j-islatuio adjoin ned, and then reap
pointed CYaw on the Kroonti that a viuancy ex?
isted. Crane's rijih! to tlie otlico is now to he
decided ly the courts, ii would seam that the
Governor by this device could deprive the Sen?
ate of its constitutional rijcht, and the decision
of the Supreme Ct ort will be awaited with pen
erul interest. The practice is not a new one,
but no judicial dcteiniinalion has hitherto
been made.
The spirit which should animate every dele
Rate to the Chinga- Convention was well set
forth by State Treasurer lb-a-d, of M;is^;i
chusetts, in a speech delivered on Saturday.
Mr. Heard is a dclej-at-, but he will not ko to
Chicago as any man's man. Ho is not iu favor
of any particular one of the six leading aspi?
rants for the honor from whom he expects tho
candidate to be cho>,eii-he is in favor of the
one who will prove the strongest candidate;
and the strongest candidate is, of curse, tho
one mest likely to poll a majority of votes in
thc States classed as doubtful. This is the
right sort of feeling. With 800 delegates in?
spired by the same motive, thc cuiiventioii can
easily make a .s'le<tion that will satisfy the !;<?
publican parly and sweep (he country iii No?

A groat deal of good advice will be given
within tho next fortnight to students about lo
be graduated from our various seals of learning.
The s-as,n f<,r l,a<calauic;ite se-mons opa-nod
yesterday, lt will be seen by reference to our
news columns that the Iiov. Dr. Morgan Dix
addressed tho Columbia senior class at St.
Thcmiis's Church, that vice-Chancellor Mac
Cracken spoke to the graduating class of the
Unive-sily of ihe City of New-York, and that
President Taylor preached to the younj* ladies
who will soon receive degrees from Vassar Col- I
lcj-o. The students in the busy closing days
of their college lives may not give due heed to
tho many excellent things said to- them, but
doubtless! thero will be somo seed sowed on
good ground.
Several columns of The TesESJWS this morn?
ing are devoted to giving a hst of Ihe delegates
who will assemble in Chicago one week from to?
morrow to nominate the Republican candidates
for President and Vice-President. Tho list is
practically complete, although two districts in
Pennsylvania and one in Illinois have not yet
completed their delegations. There will bo
no contests of importance iu the Convention,
apart from the Virginia cases growing out of
the struggle between the Maheno and anti-Ma
hone whirs of the party. Tho Convention ns
regularly made up will consist of i->2 0 delegates,
ami ll 1 vot'-s will be required to make a nomi?
nation. It is possible, however, that the claims
o.' Dakota and Washington to bc represented in
the Convention as if they had already been ad?
mitted as Sl.ates will be recognized. In that
case the nominating body will contain S32 in
?tead of r-2o members, and the winning candi?
date must get 4 17 vote,._
usselfTsh judcmest seeded.
Without exaggeration or poetic coloring, it
may be said that the future history of Ihe coun?
try will depend greatly upon the wisdom of the
<-(invention which is about to meet at Chicago.
If tho French statesman was ri^ht, if there are
political blunders which aje worse than crimes,
there seems to be peeuli.ir occasion now for the
avoidance of such a blunder. It is mt enough
to say thal a man would make a good President.
If he would not make a good candidate, it may
bo of no consequence at all what soil of Presi?
dent he would make. It is not enough to say
that his nomination would ulease this or thai
small clique or fraction of voters, or satisfy thc
party in States which are safely Republican. If
he cannot surely win the majority in some nf
the doubtful .States, the satisfaction of Kopuhli
cans may turn to grief when thc returns are re?
ceived.
The delegates from Oregon come eastward
with the joy of a great vic!orv, to make known
one wisc resolution it has taught them?that
they will not vote for any candidate whose po?
sition on the tariff question is at all a matter of
doubt or dispute. Candidates who lean toward
the Democratic side on the vital question of this
year cannot represent the Republican parly if
it means to win. Candidate! who are especially
preferred by those, who lean toward the Demo?
cratic side, eaudidatos whoas past expressions or
relations have been equivocal, cannot be ev?
ict ted to lead tb" party to n victory of the Ore?
gon sort. President Cleveland, whether by ig?
norance or design does not matter, has taken a
posit-on which is not at all e.]iiivocal. The He
publican party needs a candidate whose nomina?
tion will appeal to th- convict ions and kindle
tlc- z' .-ri of th"se who believe in protection, as
Mr. Cleveland's nomination will inspire free?
traders to the utmost efforts.
The talk of favorite sons and " dark horses
misses tlie imperative demand of the occasion.
A party assiued of victory can at tunes afford
to award honors for past fidelity, tis a party
which has no higher aim than to RTSU-P the
spoils may be bound lo consider sectional or
local "claims'''; but those who appeal to the
Nation in behalf of a National policy, opOD
which its pp iperity depends, are iu duty bound
to present a candidate who embodies the con?
victions for which they contend. It is not to
be expected that the Republican platform will
be evasive, trimming or double-faced, but there
are millions of voters with whom the phrases
,of a platform hare little weight, who know
that the life and public effort! Oi a candidate,
on such a question, fix his purpose and that of
his patty better Quat any campaign pledges
can. The doubtful States are Stales which tho
tariff question, and that alone, can make safe.
There never has been greater need of putting
aside all personal or local preferences itt making
a nomination which ahall represent a National
caUM and call out its full strength. The leader
t,, whom .ill Republicans feel stat it ede for his
splendid services in 1884 has set an example of
ueseliish devotion to the welfare of thc coun?
try, and it is one which every candidate and
the fiinids of every candidate may well follow,
at least so far that no personal preferences oi
ambitions shall be permitted to stand in Ibo way
of the best selection that can be made for the
sake of the Republican cause. There are not a
few noble end worthy men who deserve the
highest honor: not a few able and faithful men
who would discharge well the highest trust.
Among them there il more 'han one who would
probably be elected if nominated?-for whose
election the chances would ho more than even.
Bot it appears to be the deliberate .ndgmeni of
j the Republican party, as ii rarely ought to be.
I tba; th'- N;i!ional e**_erge_c*f should be net bj
| the nomination of thai candidate who will ren*
I der the triumph of the Rational cause most cer?
tain: that the convention ought to ask, not
whether this or that worthy and competent
man might possibly be elected, but which of
the worthy and competent candidates can be
elected most surely. The candidate who will
concent rate (he largest force in favor of the
protection of home industry, in the States
which are doubtful, is the candidate for whom
the convention ought to seek with care, with
patience and with absolute candor and impar?
tiality of judgment.
QUI BRU SC OVER A PLAIN CASE
Canada is never without pettifogging advo?
cates in the free-trade press ,,f the United
States. " The Evening Poet" rttempti to break
tlie force of the pleading! in the Piidgewatei
case by asserting thal the vessel, after putting
into a Nova Scotia port under stress ?,f weather,
WU sold at auction, and coaaequeatlj was ba?
ilie to payment of duty ns au imported ship.
Mr. Allen, the owner, tells a dilT'-rent story.
He asserts that the ship "was put ni) for sale
just to see what would bo bid for her ; but there
weN no bid^ud consequently no sale, and the
work of repairing was proceeded with/' Then
the collector of customs intervened with a de?
mand of twenty-five per cent duty on the valu?
ation. If the owner's own statement be not
conclusive, the action of the Canadian
Caovcrniuent ought to be. Minister Mc
Letan, in -espouse to an appeal
from tho I.'rited .--tates Consul, telegraphed
that Mr. Allen could repair the vessel
and take it away, and that duties could not be
levied mien he required a Canadian registry.
This order end the rabeeqoetit unconditional
release of the drip show that no salo had tata
place. The specious plea that the owner pur?
chased his om ship when he was unable to gd
anybody else to buy her is too contemptible to
be seriously eoartdeiad. In coi.ti.ist with Mid.
wretched quibbling on the part of an A uteri.-an
free-trade journal, how refreshing is this rig.

There waa not tho slightest ground for the solr.ttre

be prepared to repair the Injury, even If the complain
ants bavo no recourse at law.
The seizure of an American registered ves?
sel, which had not been sold in tho port where
she had sought refuge, was an illegal act and
an outrage on international comity. Tho owner
was justly entitled to compensation for that
seizuro and for the protracted detention of the
vessel; and the Stnto Department ought to
take up his OBOe and insist upon his receiving
his deserts. The customs oflicials themselves
aro on record as confessing that they acted
w il bout law and aulherity, for under dal" of
September 22, 1H87, they offered to release the
vessel if the owner would withdraw his charges
and furnish them " with I written abandonment
of all claims upon the Dominion <;overum<"it
or mining ofhMt OH account of seizure." Thc
owner refused to abandon his claims and to ac?
cept a clearance on thc collector's terms, and
eventually took his vessel out of foti under
Hying edon. The case is a most conclusive
one, involving a manifest violation of com
mci'eial rights and an illegal usurps ion of au?
thority on the part of the customs officers.
"The Evening Post," nevertheless, does not
hesitate to d. fend the Canadian side willi thai -
act eristic quibbling._^^
SIT KATI SC, AND SWARMERY.
Tho sweating system by which working
people are furnished with employment in
various trades at starvation wages is attract?
ing much attention in England. A Royal
Commission bas been collecting evidence on
the subject and has established the fact thal
tho victims of the system aro not employed
in factories or ordinary workrooms, but in
sweaters' dens. Tudor an Act of Parliament
factories and workshops are subject to official
Inspection, and overciowding and unsanitary
conditions can be prevented. There is no
anth' titv of law fm- the control of dwelling
houses which may be used as workrooms; md
it is in theso lhat the middlemen who supply
manufacturers with the cheapest of cheap labor
collect their bands of underpaid workers. The
only practical reform which the Commission
will be apt to faYOt points to Uio extension of
ihe operation of the Factor** and Workshop
Acts so as to include any apartment! in tene?
ment or dwelling house* where Working people
ate employed. The effect of the rigid inspec?
tion and possible suppression of ibese unin?
spected workrooms would be to drive needy
and starving artisans into the factories, which
are already overcrowded. If additional accom?
modations be afforded for Iheni there, they
will be brought into direct competition with
Workers now receiving higher wages. A
general red'let ion of wages wi il follow and the
" sweating" rates now paid by the middlemen
will become uniform. Au intelligent English
artisan, who discusses tho question in "The
St. James's Qasette,'' mikes these judicious
minarka'

If this candid wortdnfemaa were to borrow
Pres-dent elm ('land's phrase, he would suv thai
ii ls a condition and noi a theory that confronts
iin-n of lu's ci;isS In England. There is a
sui plus of workers in nearly every trade; if
men and women dependent upon Heir lahor
cannot Ret living wages, they must put np
with -tarring and dying wages: inderi,d.
half-clothed and sickly, they will work for
the lowest pittance that is offered to tliem:
and even if the sweating dons are broken
ni), the sweating wage will be continued in
order lhat English manufacturers may elul
j the markets of the world with the products
and wares of cheap labor. It ti iwarmery,
to ii-- this artisan*! own word, that produces
sweat ins ?" nearly all the manual trades and
occupations of free-trade England. There is
a surplus of lal,or and there ii ? tcarcitr of
employment, even in good times, and the
workers arc underpaid, underfed and crushed
to the earth.
This is the class of labor with which Presi?
dent Cleveland and the Democratic paitv
?im to bring American workingmen Into active
eompetitibn. The tariff protects every class
Of workers here. It not only furnishes (hem
with employment in their varied industries
but it makes their labor far more valuable
to them, even with shorter hours, t-tn ,]?.

Cleveland's policy will throw down the barriers
between American protected lal,or and English

of executing condemned murderers by bungin-*.
It is creditable to the Empire State that it bas
taken the Lad la a reform that probably in no
long time must be adopted by all civilized com?
munities. The practical effect of tho BOW law
in diminishing tho crime of murder, which, of
ooaree, is (he objeet aimed at la capita] -saltish
meiit, cannot, be determined in advance of its
practical operation. But thc feeling which bas
led to its paSBBfe is tbs haine which has done
away With so much that is cruel und inhuman in
th" infliction of legal penalties. Punishments
involving mutilation or the infliction of personal
Violence have disappeared with the advance of

Whether aa increase in the output of pig iron
is I |.I sign St present or not is with some reason
doubted. But the monthly report for June 1
shows an Increase of '-.<sa:i tons in weekly output
over nay 1, due to the commencement of opera?

these begin, work stops at the large steel cslab

explanations but, nevertheless, reflect the ex?
cessive competition -which prevails In regions where
many new roads have been opened. Tbe gnin on
all roads reporting for May is 6.23 per cent, but
tho Increase in mileage must be nearly as large.
Nor can tho new laws and rates recently an
nounced In Iowa be enforced, or the late decisions
of the Intent atc Commission as to competitive
trnflic, without affecting materially the earnings
of many roads.
Exchanges for tho past, two weeks show a heavy
decline in comparison with last year. For May
the increase was less than 1 per cent, outside New
York, and the gain at Chicago alone, largely duo
to grain speculation, was greater tlinn the entire
gain at all points. Hie wheat market closed about
I cent higher thnn a week ago, with corn 3 l-l
cents lower, and oats nearly _ cents lower. The
export demand for ?heat bas not answered ___?
pet-tations, and exports of wheat and flour from
Atlantic -torts for tbe last five weeks have been
.0,8(17,303 bushels, against 14.505,077 for the samo
weeks bat y, ar. Pork products arc a shade
hight*-, nnd also butter and cotton. Coffee and
sugar on; lower, though some of the refineries
which have been closed by the Trust are ex.
pected soon to lie opened. Oil has bobbed up
again, as it bobbed down the week before, without
visiblo reason. The general average of prices of
commodities is nearly 1 per ceut lower than a
week ago, and about 3 per cent lower than May 1.
Foreign trade ls still active, so that imports
last week show an Increase of nearly 5 per cent,
and exp irts a nain of 3 per cent. Thus far nothing
occurs to indicate that the excess of imports
over exports, which was |4a,OOO,OOO last year
for four months beginning with May, will be ma?
terially smaller this year. Nor, on the other
bandi is there anything to indicate that the ap?
petite of foreign investors for American bonds is
exhausted. Lower rates for money abroad lessen
the probability of gold exports, and the Kew*
York banks continue to receive large sums from
the interior, so that the failure of the Treasury
to buy lximls ls of no Immediate inta-rist. Last
week, without purchases of any consequence, it
paid out $600,000 more than it took in, and re?
duced deposits in banks by $100,000. With Idle
money rapidly a cc nm u lat ins*, it is not strange that
the borrowings of banks from the Treasury di?

We record it to the creditTof our friends, the
Demooraeic newspapers of nho country, that
although the St Louis nominations have now been

" To your tents, O Israel."' It is an encouraging
sign.

too much to desire to throw down the protection
that bas been of so much b-nellt to them. Ore?

the whole country on this vital matter. Calling
the peopl. uninstructed may help you work eff

Sec here, Mr. Cleveland, haven't you got som
article of wearing apparel that could bo worked
up into a gonfalon? As it is, tbe Democrats, your
own political brethren, are practically ignoring
you and lavishing theil enthusiasm upon that
band-iuna, of Thurman's. It's pretty rough on
you, you know. Here, for example, is "The
N.-w-York Star'' referring to tbe other fellow's
bandanna as the " slogan" and the " rallying cry"'
of the Democracy in the present campaign. A
few weeks ago the country was informed that a
" Cleveland button" had been placed upon the
market. It bore your image and superscription
and it was expected that it would be all the
rage on the coats und waistcoats of Democrats.
What has become of that sweet thing in buttons.'
You don't mean to tell us that the bandanna has
already forced it out cf circulation ? In any
event it must Rtrike level-headed Democrats that
justice to you as the nominal head of the ticket
demands that the bandanna should not be ullowed
to carry otf all the honors of the Democratic cam?

Did Mr. Dougherty and those who listened to
him really appreciate what be said when he de?

it is to be hoped that the cunipani -s will eeoeiro
