1t Is proposed to hold national and inte-
national commercial convention in Chicago On
the 18th OF next month. to consider the baSt
means OF extending our trade with foreign
countries in North and South America. Dele
gates will be sent by state governments mayors
OF cities, chambers OF commerce boards OF trade
and manufacturers associations. But Chicago
will not confine its laborS for the extension of
our monumental relations to the holding OF meet
1ngs and the passing OF resolutions. An excur-
sion OF merchants, manufacturers and others
viii start from that city ON the 18th for Mexico
The true condition of our trade relations and
trade prospects with that country, on which
subject there is dispute and confusion, will be
aseertained as far as possible. 1t has been
recently claimed that American manufacturers
already control the Mexican markets, and that
hardly anything is imported from abroad There
is also dispute as to the effect of the Mexican
tar1n and custOm-hOuSe duties, and as TO the
capacity Of the country to produce for herself
the things which We would send to her. All
these points can be best settled by personal
visit and study.

The November Elections.

The elections one week from to-day VIII de-
termine the relative strength OF the political
parties In the next House OF Representatives;
viii choose state officers partially or entirely,
In many of the states and in several states the
legislatures elected will select United state
Senators. Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Maine,
Ohio, Vermont and West Virginia have already
held their elections for Representatives in Con-
greSS. California does not choose until Septem-
Der, 1879. The remaining thirty states make up
their delegations next Tuesday. Governors Will
be chosen in Connecticut, Delaware, Kansas,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska. Nevada,
New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Texas In
Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Kansas. louisiana
Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York,
South Carolina and Wisconsin the legislatures
chosen viii each elect United States Senator
The feature OF the elections which Will attract
most attention is the choice of members of the
House OF Representatives. Counting the Rep
resentative from the third Vermont district as
gfeenbacker-as it is almost certain that the
second election will give Barlow a plurality
The republicans have reduced their rep
resentatiOn in the fifty-fiYe districts In
which elections have been held By eleven
IL is probable that they will lose nearly all of
The niEe southern congressional districts which
ale represented by republicans i'm the present
House AS an Offset to these losses gains are
expected in New York, Pennsylvania and other
northern and western states. Some of the
states will hold extraordinary elections. Refer
ence has already been made to the one I'm the
third Vermont congressional district, in which
no candidate received the necessary majority In
the september election. Louisiana will fill the
vacancy Ia the present Congress, caused by the
death OF Representative John E. Leonard.
Nebraska VIII hold similar election for the
district formerly represented by Mr. Frank
WEIGH, and New York will send representative
TO I'LL the position vacated by the death OF Mr.
Terence j. Quinn. The death of Senator Lewis
V. Bogy will also make it necessary for the new
legislature Of Missouri to choose some one in
his place, as well as to elect Senator for the
1ull term. In Minnesota feature of interest In
the November election will be the vote on the
Dill which proposes to settle the long-conteSted
state railroad bonds by exchanging for them
5oO,OOo acres OF internal improvement lands. If
the present determination of the Iowa demo
Gratis and greenhackerS to hold an election of
their own next month on the ground that the
september election was Illegal be carried into
eject, there will be thrty-One states instead of
thirty from which returns will be received.

The recent invention by which petroleum Is
used as fuel viii work a great revolution in
iron, steel and gas manufacturing The time in
which iron can be melted is reduced from two
hours TO ten minutes. Furnaces Will no longer
need 10 be cooled every day 10 replace the fire
brick. but will run for three months A heat Of
1900 degrees can be kept up as long as desired.
The effect of the invention will be felt not only
in manufacturing industries, but also in the oil
trade and in the development of the oil lands.
This trade has long been depressed. The inven-
tor OF the process and his associates now pre-
pose TO take all the surplus petroleum that Is
produced. The invention OF means by which
the world can profit by new and superior fuel,
Is one OF the great achievements of the century,
1t is probable that the uses to which the new
fuel may be put will be found to be much more
numerous than those for which 1t Is readily
perceived to be adapted. II the sphere of its
usefulness does not widen with experiment, it
VIII differ in its history from similar inventions.
