Conventlon that every delegate has the right to vote ns his conalitnents wish without regard to “Instructions” of State Conventions. The justles of. this rulo 1s well illustrated in. the very cuse of South Carolina, where tha third. term machinists selzed the Convention aul strangled the expréssion “of all. sentiment opposed to the third-term issue and nomination, ff this opposition ean fid expression through a certain number of the delegates, their frea votes will vindlente tho rights of the constituencles they repro sent as against the manipulation of muchin- ery for the suppression thervof, ‘The reported defeetion of seven delegntes in the South Carolina delegation ts not only Tuportant In iuelf, but in foreshadowing 0 like defection in ether Southern delegations whieh are nominally pledged fo the third, term candhtatd, When these delegations come to Chicago from states which cannot bo carried for the Republlcan cantldate in any ovent, © wiunber of the delegates will vegin to inquire which one of the yatious candidates {8 most “likely to carry all the Hepublican and the doubtful Stutes. Whenever this inquiry shall set fn, there will be un agreement on all sides that, the third-term issue will endanger the suc- cess Of thy Republican party fn States that are ubsolutely essential to Repubtlean sue- cuss, and notably In the Stute of Ohio, The delegates from the Southern States will be- gin to recognize the folly of nominating by thelr votes a candidate to whose election they ean contribute nothing and whose candidacy will endanger party auecess in Republican States, They will have nothing to gain in urging’ 8 nomination that threatens detent, All thelr Interests and hopes will centre In tho seluetion of & Republican candidate who {s most likely to bu elected, Hence the de fection in the South Carollna delegation may be fairly regarded as a sign of sluilar defec- tion in the delegations from Virginia, Ken- tucky, ‘Texas, and other Suuthern ‘delega- tons which are now counted solidly for Grant by tho “ machinists,” ‘The third-term organ ts also troubled by reports from Pennsylyauts to the effect that county conventions are belng organized for thg purpose of passing resolutions culling upon tho district deterntes not to obey the Instructions of the packed State Convention. ‘This movement Is aceredited to the handl- work of latne's adherents, Tf it be ad- mitted that Mr. Blatne’s friends are active in this matter, it 1 none the less trno that these Jocal conventions wilt vastly batter represent the sentiment of the local canstituancies thinn did the State Convention which snuffed out focal representation, When tho move- ment ts denonnecd ns a “scheme for atealing tho Pennsylvania delegates away fron’ Grant? tho obytous tenly Is that the peopls of Pennsylvania aro simply reelalming tholr own In those districts where an overwhelming majority of the Republican voters are opposed to the third-term busl- ness. ‘The “stealing ” was perpetrated whena bare majority In the State Convention sought to oxelude fully one-half the Repubticans of the Stato from a voico in the selection of the Republican candidate, If the several dis- triets which were thus practically disfran-, ehised now vrotest axuinst the outrage aud demand that tholr district delegates shall represent thelr several constitueneles In the Chicago Convention, and not the Cameron Ring, with whieh they have no sympathy, thonetion Is wise and commendable, and there fs no doubt that the National Conven- Uon will recognize the justice of tho district, elniins. A BILL TO ROB THE REVENUE AND PROMOTE DRUNKENNESS. "The proposition of the Kentucky Bourbons which, of course, orksinated Ina pregiuinent- ly whiskyslrinking State, and which was ear- nestly supported by Northern Demoerntle oll sonks, especially those living near the South ern frontler—to allow the farming population and friit-raisors to manufacture Hauor from their fruit free of tax isa proposition to ene courage free drunkenness and Increase tho number of drunkards, If the Carlisle itl, with any of the amendments whieh the frec- whisk} Bourbons sought to hitch. on it, showd pnss, releasing home-made Nquors from taxation, In five yenrs’ tine It would wipe out the entire revenue from highwines mud break up the whole business, It wont be tho starting polut for the total abolition of the tax on spirits. Instead of the Govern- ment deriving fifty millions of revenue from them it would by paying out 90 cents a gallon ns a special bounty to all speculators and fruit-growers, or that much premitnn to Induce people to engage in rats Ing fruit, not for the supply of tho market with a healthful food, but for manufacture Into liquor, If would encour age not only individuals to turn their apples and penctics Intoapple-fack and peach-brandy, but the organization of hundreds of compn- nies to go into tho frult-ratsing business for this express purpose, with opportunities for stealing, and swindling, and fraud such as the whisky rings never enjoyed tn thelr palin- jest days. - Tnstend of a market well supplied with cheap and wholesome peaches nnd apples, we shoukd havo a market well supplied with Nquor from frult, and the price of fruit se high that it would become a fuxury for the rich only, It would be n temptation for overy one to go Into the frult-Hanor business In or+ der to get the 90 cents bounty out of the Pub- He Treasury, It woul cut down the tax on highwines from corn tens of millions of dol- lars. Reduced down to its real meaning, it 1s a proposition that the General Gov- ernment shall pay $60,000,000 per annum In speelal premiums for the encouragement of drunkenness. ‘The pathetle picture which Mr. Singleton, of Quincy, LIL, drew of the wrongs of the poor farmer and the sailness of his soul as ho siti the fruit going to decay which ho might utilize in this manner, and his sweet bucolic viston of that farmer sitting In the shealow of ils stills, a rosy and contented Bacehus, was: well characterized by Mr. Haskell, of Kansas, as seheme by whieh every fraltfarmer would become x moonshiner, and every okt woman would Ml her washtubs with whisky and her milk-eans with’ apple-Jack, turn her husband into # drunkard,—and herself, too, ho might have added,—andsend him out as 0 colporteur to get all his neighbors drunk, It is notalone in taking milllons of money outof the Public Treasury that the enpabfll- thes of this DIL for misehtef would be iin itable, but In the spread of drunkenness, with all its accompanying miseries. There Is another view of this question that Is of still greater slenitieance. It has al- ready deen shown In THe Trinuny that the tax on spirits ylelded the Government in 1878 the sis of $50,490,816, and on beer and ale $0,087,052, or, In round numbers, $60,000,000, and that this amount is sufliclent for the Government endowment of universal free schools in the whole United States, and, as when tho refunding operntions shall have been completed there will be a saving in the annual interest charge of more thin the en- tlre sum collected from the tax on Mquors, there Is no good reason why tt should not be so npplied, thus compelling what every one whults to be a necessary or unnvoldable evil to contribute to the support of whit every one adinits to be the principal condition of good cittzenship aut the very foundation of the Republic, It was shown by Indisprta- ble figures that if this tax were devoted to freo schools It would relleve- the property- holders of this State alone of four millions of taxes por annum, and that other States would save in like proportion, Itwasshown that this sixty millions of tuxes would pay the teachers in nine-tonths of the schoul-dis- triets of the United States for teaching from seven to nine months 9 year, leaving to tho people only the expense of building and re- pulring school-houses and providing fuel, Tt would give $40,000,000 ta the North ani $20,- 000,000 to the South, ancl thus relleve the peas ple of $60,000,000 of taxes, It would be the most popular step the Government, could take, and would prove to bea great popular blessing. Such a disposition of this money, however, would be manifestly fmpossi- blu if the freo distillation . contem- plated by the Kentucky Bourbons should ho allowed, - 2s ft would bo pal out In preminins by tho Government fo the farmers and orchariists to encourage them In the manufacture of free Hquor, the Increase of drunkenness, and the withdrawal of frult from the market. Such o proposition as this Kentucky apple- Jack schenie, 60 mixehtevous {0 all {ts results if It wore adopted, could only have originated on the Bourbon and jmblbing slide of the Mouse, who represent “moonshine” and Whisky-drlnking constituencies, who live always bees in favor of every measure that tends to promote ignorance with its cBnse- quent erlminality, and Involves swindling, fraud, and general raseallty, sud who owe their elections to the influcnces of the grog- shops, ‘Tue suggestion 1s made that the present complications In the matter of rallway-ens trances, and depots, and grounds In the South Division of Chisago may be greatly relleved by shuply straightening the South Branch of the river trom ‘Twelfth to. Six- teenth street, Between these two polnts the river bends ‘so fur to the cust that tho spree between Olik: street and tho river Is ao reduced that Clark strvet, Instead of betng 8 clear thoroughfare, must of necessity be oceupled by rallway-tracks, If the line of the river at ‘Twelfth strect wero straightened sousto run due south to Sixteenth street, and the present bed-of tho river between these points be filled up, a large tract of land Will be added to thy space on whiloh the rall- ways may come In-from the south.

Thig scheme ts not only quite practleable, but ia or something like ft; has become necessary. If tt were earrled out there would be ample reoi tr the South Division westof Clark street forall the railways now or. whieh may hereafter enter lu that part of tho city. As it 1s, Clark streot le Mkely to bo entirely cut offasa thoroughfare south of Marrlsun street. By straightening the river between tho poluts indleated the whole ratlrond diniculty would be practically ended forall time, Clark street would be reclalmed for business travel and use, the navigation of the river would bo ‘very greatly Improved, and all this without. any sarlous cost ‘or destruction of the value of private property.” It would also lmmense- ly simplify tho vinduct question between the two divisions, and render It jirnetleable to throw a bridge over the river al Fourteenth street, which itis not now, except at an {m- mense expense, One of the worst pieces of South Branch navigation Is that between Twelfth and Sixteenth strects Inclusive, EXTRAORDINARY RETALIATION ON CAN- A. ADA. It may be questioned whether any commit- tee of eithor House of Congress at nny ine in the history of this Government has so justly won the general contempt of the coun- tryns has tho present Conmittes of Ways mid Means of the House of Jepresentatives, There 1s nothing so dishonest, no job so fragrant, no scheme so transparent, thatthe projectors do not feel at lherty to propose It to tint Committee, confidently oxpecting its support and approval. ‘The Intest of these schemes Is the Hurd- Wood stock-jobbing bill to prohtbit tho iransportatton of American merchandise over any Conndianrailroad from any part of the United States to another, ‘This bill way referred toa sub-committee, and forthwith it was returned with along previously-written report, which was immediately published, ‘The Wil was appropriately managed by Fernando Wood nud supported by Gen, Gare feld. This report placed the Justifiention of this bill on the ground that ft was “retallatory Jegisiation against Canada,” first, for pro- hibiting trado In diseased cattle through Canada, und, second, because the Dominion within a year bas inereased her tariff on items which the United States as well as England have been selling to that country, ‘The United States are the Just people on this earth who ought to sponk of “retalintory legislation”? on the subject of the tariit. For ninoteen years this cofintry by its ultra turlff laws has struggled to prohibit all tm portations from forelgn nations, and what- ever trade we have had with other countries hag been matntained in spite of the iost prohibitive tari tthe elvitized world, Thurd and Garield must have cheeks that would put the bliish on an old brass kettle to talk of the need of retailatory tgriil Inws. on Canada when our repressive and repel- Iunt duties are still twice ns high as tholrs. For nearly fifteen yenrs' Canada walted for such action by our Congress as would re store reciprocity, establish a customs union, or inltignte theseverity of ourtarif. LButour Congress would nover take any actlen, Din ingall that time Fernando Wood ond ‘Gen, Garfield had no coinpunctions of conscience as to the enormity. of our commercial rela- tions with Canada. Finally -tho Canadinn Government, which had a tariff averaging about 15 per cont, incrensed that tariff, rais- ing tho duties to about one-haif the rates charged by the United States on articles brought hither from Canada, Fut this Mr. Wood and Gen. Garfield propose to retaliate by prohibiting the people of the Northwest- ern States from ‘sending or receiving mer- chaniise to or from the West ovér the rads that run through Canada. We have already shown tlat the Canadian regulation concern- ing cattle prohibits only such cattle and hogs as may arrive from the United States Ina diseased condition; against healthy and som cattle thore fs 110 exclusion, Ganada hag, until tho recent increase of Its tariff, admitted American coal free of duty. Aduty now of 50 cents por ton Is exacted, ALurd, Wood, and Guritoltt are Indignant, and propose & retaliate, lxnorlug the fact that from 1861 to 1873 the American duty on Can- adian coal was $1.25" per) ton, and since 1873 has been, and at this time fs, 75 cents perton. Canada is also a producer of petroleum, and Canada has placed a duty of six cents per gallon on American petroleum, Since 1863 the American duty on Canadian petroleun has heen 40 cents per gallon, Tho Canadlans have lnposed a ‘light duty on American re- fined sugars; but, In splto of this duty, the Canudians now receive two-thirds of the star they buy from the United States. ‘Tho Amerlean turlif on aly the productions and manufactures of Canada ranges from 35 to 100 per cent; and: because, Canada, after wating patiently” for many yents to establish reclprocal commercial relitlons with the United States, has Imposed a tarlit ranging from 5 to 25 per cent, these old jab- bers of the Ways and Means Committee propose to “retaliate” by prohibiting the Auvgricnns of tho Northwest trom sending merchnudlse to New York over the railways Tunning through Cannda. ‘Che abject of the Dill was to compel the producers of the West to send thelrentire productionsto the Atlantic by the way of ‘Luledo and over the Lake Shore Railway, Since tho complaint of the wolf against the lamb for disturbing the water up stream, thore lias been no such re- markable Instanea of retallation as that proposed by these veterans of the Committes on Ways andl Me i A “Fount Wanner’? writes uss “You express tho opluion iu Tim ‘funivne that the Chicago Gonvention will not nominate a Uiird-term candidate. Why do you Uiink ao? On what grounds do you base that opiiton? He fs ahead so far tn the delegntes that huve been chosen.” One reason why we think so {, that the Republicans of Ohlo believe Grant cannot carry that State, and It fs the key of the Presidential battieileld. ‘Phe Ohlodeloga- tlon will tell the members of the Convention from other States very plainly that Ohio wilt be lost on the third-term Issue, and that HE the Convention deem it cesentlal to the suecess of the ticket to carry Ohio at the October election, some other candidate than Grant must be nominated. We do not think It pos- sible that the Convention will proceed de- Nberately and deflantly to throw away that Stato and risk the terrible, and indeed fatal, demoralization that mist ensue tn the rank and file of the party ff the great Buckeye State !s lost In October, ‘The Republican uNice- holders from the Southern States who will be here na delegates will have thelr ears and-eyes open to the consequence of om blunder that may be made In the nominatlon.
