We give In another column q list of the Stats
conventions already called to be held by the
parties in the States named II will be seen
that two occur to-day (May l7)-viz., those
of the republicans in Pennsylvania and Ken
lucky. The Pennsylvania Democratic Conveu-
ton will be held May "a. These are all, we
believe, announced for the month of May.
During the month Of June democratic and re-
publican conventions will be held in Ohio,
California and Iowa, and the Maryland Demo-
cratic Convention is called for July 10. 1t
will thus be seen that the different parties are
marshaling their forces preparatory tn the
important campaign next fall, which will ia
ausurate the grand Presidential sweepstakes
the following year. The conventions in Oaio.
Iowa, Kentucky, California and Maryland
nominate candidates for Governor The most
interest prevails in Ohio, where the contest
between tho democratic and republican candi-
dates is expected to be close, although the re-
publicans carried the State last year for Score
tary Of State by majority something near
fourteen thousand, out Of poll of about four
hundred and thirty thousand. In Iowa the
republicans have full swing, having had last
year a majority of over forty-two thousand
for Secretary of State out of poll Of over
one hundred and sixty -four thousand. Ken
lucky will no doubt give her usual plung-
ing majority Of from fifty to sixty thousand for
the democrats. California is expected to 60
democratic, while Maryland is sure to, by
heavy majority.
The gathering Of these political clans the
coming summer, with those that will follow
them, will be regarded with particular interest,
for they will foreshadow the momentous events

NEW YORK HERALD WEDNESDAY, MAY IT, 1s7-TRlPLE SHEET

TIE original cost ola railroad. Every farmer
who transports his produce, every merchant
that sends his goods, and every man, woman
and child that travels is taxed more and
moro to pay the monopolists. No federal or
State tax Is more general. 1t is felt by the
whole community. Whom the national or
State government imposes exorbitant taxes
there may be found remedy through the
power of public opinion; but in the case Of
railroad extortion there appears to be none
for, as was said before, the companies buy or
control legislatures, municipalities, governors
and the judiciary. Every year this state Of
things Is growing worse. One man even
aspires to possess two or more Of the great
railroad lines, to initiate the stock as he pleases
and to tax the entire community at his will.
This monstrous evil must not continue long.
Public opinion must be aroused, or every in
terest in the republic, material, financial and
political, will be at the mercy of few railroad
kings. II may be difficult to awaken the gen.
eral government to sense of the evil for the
majority Of the members of Congress are In
terested, probably, in railroad companies.
Still the evil must be reached. Congress has
power, no doubt, to control the railroads
those great arteries of commensurate as It
has to regulate commerce by sea or the interior
waters. The constitution expressly gives the
power to regulate commerce among the sew
eral States; and no one can deny that the
railroads which run from one State to
another and permeate them in every direction,
carry on commerce among the States in the
sense of this language of the constitution. 1t
is for the federal government to see that the
people shall not be taxed enormously for the
benefit of few overgrown monopolies.
Nothing short Of Congressional legislation can
interpose to save the country from the pre-
sent evil and pending danger of railroad con-
solidation and monopoly.

THE EosGEE CA.ssEi-The comedy of en-
panelling jury. In the Foster case con-
tnued yesterday, and seems likely to con-
tnue indefinitely from day to day, like a
Chinese tragedy. Three more jurors idiotic
enough to have never heard Of or never
formed any opinion upon the case, were siilei
out Of the hundred examined yesterday. This
makes seven In all and five are yet to be
chosen. Assistant District Attorney Fellows
made very important and proper point yes
terday, in reference to the opinions which
seemed to have been formed by nearly every
juror called He said the law did not design
that mere vague and aeeting impressions pro-
duced by the passing reading of newspaper
should be considered opinions creating bias
or debarring man from serving on the jury.
Judge Cardozo shows disposition to inter-
pref the law in accordance with the common
sense view Of 1t, and yesterday closely cross
examined some of the jurors on the subject
Of opinions, the Judge evidently having an
idea that they were not in all cases certain of
the difference between opinions and impress
slons.

THE FULTON FERRY COMPANY have already
broken ground for the new and picturesque
ferry house which they are going to erect in
place Of the preeent unsightly edifice at the
foot Of Fulton street. Brooklyn. The work is
to be pushed forward very rapidly, and when
the summer is over the building will be
finished. II Is understood that closing gate
ways are to be adopted in order to prevent
the numerous drowning casualties that occur
through the foolhardiness Of passengers 10
leapng after boat. This is good idea, and
II Is to be hoped other reforms Ia ferriage, that
long experience must have brought TO the
notice Of the managers, will also be adopted.

and 1t should be not only commodous, bat 1t
should be picturesque and safe,

Governor Jewell on Connecticut Divorces.
In his inaugural message to the Connecticut
Legislature yesterday, Governor Jewell gives
good exhibit Of the financial and business
affairs of the State; but on the subject of Con-
necticut divorces he SAYS
Our divorce laws unless changed, bid fair 10 bring
us into disrepute. They are VIGOROUSLY loose
more so tnan In any other State except Indiana and
Illinois, In the year 1870 there were In this State
400 divorces and Ash marriages-a ratio or about
one 70 twelve, which has been about the proportion
for several years. In Vermont the ratio Is one to
chuseits one to forty.four Divorces may be granted
IN this state fox too many causes-ln fact for almost
no cause at all. DISCONTINUED and vicious people
Come here nom other States to get divorces which
the strict legislation OF their own states deny
thus creating much scandal and furnishing the fair
fame OF our State Some marked cases OF this kind
have occurred the past year, which loudly call for
form In our laws.
We think 80 too. Indiana, wiz; her free
and-easy divorce system, has earned bad
name, of which she has become so far ashamed
as to make some wholesome reforms in this
business, including the requirement Of three
years residence to outside parties seeking
divorces within her borders and Connecticut,
''the Land Of Steady Habits, " from the facts set
forth by Governor Jewell, is as much in need
Of divorce reforms as Indiana or Chicago.

The War Against the Commune-Progres
Of tho Siege Of Paris.

The War Against the Commune-Progress
Of tho Siege OF Paris.
BY the dispatches from the seat of war
which we publish to-day there does not appear
to be much change in the situation of the
opposing forces in and around Paris. The
bombardment Is continued with increased
violence, a rain of shot and shell is being
poured into Paris, and Marshal MacMahon's
troops are being massed as close as possible to
the encei'ate Of the city, ready for the order of
assault, which may be expected at any
moment. There are reports from the city of
several minor victories gained by the forces Of
the Commune, but these must be received
with great caution; they read too much like
the dispatches of Gambetta to be relied upon
implicitly. They look as if written to
bolster up an utterly lost cause, and
they are so fatty contradicted BY the
dispatches from Versailles that we are led to
believe them entirely without foundation.
When Paris was besieged by tho Germans the
whole world wondered why General Trochu
with an army of three or four hundred thou
sand men was unable to break through the ex-
tended German lines, but the reason now is
obvious. He, understanding we'll enough the
character of those he would leave within the
walls, did not dare to venture forth with his
tried and reliable soldiers. He knew that the
city would be taken possession of and its gates
be barred against him by the very miscreants
who are now causing 80 much wanton de-
struction of life and property. His hands
were tied; he was powerless, as 1t
were, to act with force and decision,
and the probabilities are that the Ger
mans were as well aware of the fact as
himself. There can be no hope of peace for
France while this discordant red element is
permitted to retain its strength. It must be
effectually crushed OUT and, even if Paris
has to be destroyed In order to restore the
legitimate authorities to power, it will be
gain to France in the long run. We hope to
see the most terrible punishment inflicted upon
the Commune and Its adherents. The time
for mercy or for showing them the least con-
sideration has gone by 1t would be folly to
listen to any of their appeals. Cannon, mus
kerry aud bayonets must be the only reply
they receive to any application they may
make. No peace can be obtained except by
annihilating them and, though the streets OF
Paris may be made to run with blood, let there
be no concession-no granting terms-until
the possibility Of a recurrence Of late events
is forever rendered impossible.

There is some wine in cellar at Bre-

million sterling per bottle The mys-
terry is thus explained: One case Of it,
containing fve orAofzs of 2O4 bottles,
was bought for 500 rix-dollars in 1924.
Including the expense of keeping and
guarding the cellar, and the compound
interest of the 800 rix.dollars, ono Of
these orhofts is now of the value of
555, 900, 900 rix-dollars, and one bottle
