was Enthusiastically for a full convention IN
preference to a limited one, and undoubtedly
reflected the sentiment of the Republican
masses. THE TRIBUNE has never been able
to discern a pressing necessity for holding
full convention, but, at the same, there
could rot be the slightest objection 10
such n course, if the public opinion OF the
party favored it, That it is so Ia
vored has now been made manifest
and the point has been easily and quietly
settled. 1t only remains to be said that ~
will augur we'll for the election if the col.
vention shall keep itself as far from dissen-
sion, and as free from personal and iactious
influences, as this conference was. Let 1t De
remembered in the preparations for the con-
vcntlon and for the campaign that is to fol-
low it, that there are Just two things to he done
by the party in this State this Fall-one, to
hold fast the old line of sound Republican
doctrine, especially as to the vital issue OF
hard money; the other, to elect every posi-
bic Congressman and Assemblyman. Every
man, honestly anxious for success In these
essentials, will avoid disputes about non-essen-
tialS.

NEW yDF1S AND Old INSTINCTS.

Our clcar-si&hted COnstantinOplc correspond
ent, who ha, rendered lis excellent service
during the last two years, gives lis to-
day some suggestive hints respecting the
magnitude of the task which England has I'M
deltakcn III Asatic Turkey. He assures us
that whole districts are on the verge
of starvation that there is 10 redress
for wastcful fOllies of administration that
Koords and Turcomans are the most
brutal and tyrannical of task-masterS,
and that the Bulgarians have lived
III paradise In comparison with the four mil
lions of Christians in that sunny land. He
represents the subject races as thrilled by the
news that England has bound herself to right
their wrongs. He repeats Il rumOr that en-
..stments are to be made for SPECIAL force,
ofcered by EnglIshmen, which, like the
Sepovs, will be available for defensive service.
and he announces that the British Minister
has been in close consultation with the Turk
ish Government in regard to the Judiciary and
police.
The response of the Porte to these demands
for reforms was given III dispatch which we
published yesterday. The Sultan processes to
be very anxious to organize an efficient gen
darmcrie, and to establish courts of appeal
and an equitable system of taxation ; but he
maintains that with an empty treasury he
cannot reasonably be expected to undertake
the execution of plans which will require the
expenditure of $5,00O,00O. The regenera-
ton of Asiatic Turkey is matter of
hard cash. The Turk has no money in
his purse aud cannot atfnd 10 mend his
ways; and if England ) willing to be held
responsible for an lmlnisl ItiOn that is
abominabe and insists upon making expert
ments in Civil Service refol al, she must pay
the bills. If she has a troublesome conscience
aud feels bound in honor to fulfil pledges
virtually made in the sight of Europe,
she must pour out her gold like
water. How sagaciOus was Lord Derby's
comment upon this ProtectOrate policy: "a

II is plcasant circumstance that the Association
which has been formed to keep alive the general
knowledge of Lake George should have taken
the early Indian name of the lakc-lioricon.
Probably few OF the tourists who visit this beau
tlfui sheet Of water realize that the
name of Lake George is merely venerable
nnnkcyiSln almost on par with the vandalism Of
the present day that transforms some noble noun
tain bearing a noble Indian name into Mount Po-
cram or Seller, Hill, or calls river Smith Creek
after the existing member of Congress. That the
King was George was valid reason why the roy
aist leader William Johnson should atix that name

The most beautiful of its several names
was that of Lac Ga Saint hdcrcmeHt-
Lake of the Holy STANDARDIZATION to it by the
French Jesuit discOvcrcrs from Canada because the

fine trouble 20 state that the name of Lake SAINT
Sacrament was given to it by these mis-
s:onaries because the wonderful purity of its
waters made il specially suitable for baptism.
This isn't true, and it isn't even plausible,
because lie saint Sacrcmcnt in French never means
bapt;sm but always the Lords supper. Neyerthe-
less the legend remains and is repeated to this day
in sober histories. The name has been Angllcizrd
and contracted into Holy Lake" Every lover Of

The statement which is made ON another
page of the total amount raised and received
in this city for the yellow fever sufferers,
shows how quickly and generously our people
have responded to the cries for help that have
come up from the South. Nearly, if not quite
$4,000 has been subscribed here. But the
statement which is also made of the total
number of deaths in the principal cities at .
tackled by the pestilence, shows how made
auate even these earnest efforts have been.
Here is a dreadful total of 1,5OO deaths
in FIVE cities and towns, leaving entirely out
of consideration the scattered cases, and
taking no account Of the hundreds of sick
persons whose names may any day pass into
the roll of the dead. These figures are more
than a mere enumeration of fatal cases; they
represent wide range of suffering, terror
and death. There are dead enough here
TO cover battlefield, but there is,
besides all this, a vast aggregation of dis
tress which it Is the duty of the North
10 relieve. The need of money will increase
and not diminish, because, as Congressman
Acklen stated yesterday, in his speech to the
Chamber of Commerce, Septembers death
rate will be greater than that of August.

liberal giving and no one should he ashamed
