BEER IN CONTENTION.

The manufacturers OF lager beer have been for
several days ia annual convention assembled at st.
Louis, all the great brewerles OF the country beng
represented. The statistics which Mr.. Reuter-. the
President presented show how great il now the con-
sumption of this ancient beverage which the Ger
mans were brewing and drinking in the time of Ia
cItus aud long before. The returns indicate that
this year in the United States perfect sea of lager
VIII be manufactured and cOnsumed-that is, about
100000 barrels; this aggregate including beer
exported against which must be set off the quantity
imported, which in 1878 was 767,709 gallons.
OF course, in such a convention there was not
wanting eOquence in praise OF beer, its positive nu-
tritiye value. and what Mr. Reuter- called the de-
cided nervous animation experienced after partak-
ing of it," More interesting, however, were the
statements of Mr.. Frederick Lauer, Of Reading
Penn. as to the effect of beer upon the political
construction Of the South. He professed to give
only the results of his own personal observation
Two years ago he visited the Southern States. He
then found the inhabitants eontnng them
selves almost exclusively 10 Thiskey. What
was tho RESULT Riot, outrage, dIssension,
bulldozng and confusion generally! On re-
cent visit Mr. Laucr had observed a marked
change for tho better. He found perfect order,
peace and harmony prevailing between the races"
What was the occasion of this wonderful improve
mentf A more general consumption of beer in
stead of whskey. Nay, the enthusiastic Lauer
won't so far as to declare that in his opinion large
expectation OF lager TO Louisiana would " secure
cessation of the negro exodus"
This would indeed, be an easy way of settling
vexed problem; aud whether Mr.. Lauer be right
or not beer would doubtless be better for the bull
dozers than bourbon, if only they could be per-
suaded to drink it, which we doubt III Mr.. Lauer
woulG substitute an immigration of Germans for an
increased consumption of beer he would not prob
ably be far from wrong in his prophecies. The beer
would follow as matter of course, but the good
effect would result from the presence of the drink
ers and not from that of the drink.

like it, Many spirited horses are driven IN the Park,
and runaways are by no means rare occurrences.

some of its members have resOrted
Senator Thurman pushed his party into the
extra session, but has since tried to crawl out
of the contest. The Ohio Convention would
not have either Thurman or the candidate
who represented him, but chose Representa-
tive who has been identified with the extreme
wing of the party in the House. WITH others
who care much for financial questions, Mr.
Ewing has been struggling to proong the
session, and to prevent any yielding to the
lust and constitutional objections OF the Presi-
dent Here, also, his nomination means more
than his platform. The platform demands
the repeal of the election laws and the pro-
hibition of use of troops to prevent MOB rule
at elections. But Mr.. Ewing, Mr.. Blackburn
and other extremists in the House show by
their acts that they are willing to stop the
wheels of Government unless Free Fraud can
be secured.
II NAV well he doubted whether the Union
of these two dangerous elements VIII prove
stronger than one alone. On the hnanciai
issue. il is we'll known that Ohio is State
for close and hard fighting. But there are
many men in Ohio who sympathlze Win
the worst of Mr.. Ewings financial no.
tions. who are nevertheless heartily loyal 10
them, the attempt OF the Confederate Brig
adiers to break down all barriers against
the control of elections by fraud and
violence will he hateful. They are not
ready, if General Ewing is. to see the
country ruled by the Solid South, and
they know that the party which Ewing rep
resents is really the Solid South with thin
veneering of Northern coppeIheads and spolls-
hunters. 1t is doubtful whether General
Ewing, rs the candidate of that party, will be
able to command the support of loyal and
law abiding citizens, whether Democrats or Re-
pubhcans, however much they may sympathlze
with his soft-mOncy notions.
Moreover, Ohio is at bottom hard-money
State. Many of its Republican leaders doubted
whether the majority would sustain them in
the close contests of 1875 and 1876, when
resumption was a dreaded bugbear and the
industry and trade of the country were s0rely
depressed. But their want of faith was re-
buked by the votes of the people. Whenever the
Republicans of Ohio have evaded the financial
issue, they have had difficulty; whenever they
have lifted high the standard of Honest Money
and Public Faith, they have conquered. The
nomination Of General Ewi0g makes 1t im-
possible to ignore or evade that issue. If the
people of Ohio are as clcar-headed and as true
as they have been thus far, the result cannot
be doubtful.

The Washington dispatches reveal the exis-
tence of a serious division in the Democratic
majority in Congress. The country Will be
somewhat surprised, if we are not mistaken,
to learn not only that the latest caucus
programme was adopted by majority
of only two or three votes, but that
the minority, instead of being opposed to
revolution, wants more Of it. This minority
which Mr.. Blackburn led, denounces the
new device for coercing the President
as ga cOwardly surrender" whereas
the people have already seen that
the old attempt is merely to be renewed in
slightly different way. 1t is even said that
Mr.. Randall, who has always been considered
a cool, quiet, shrewd politician, but who now
seems delirious with the Presidential fever
actually supported Mr.. Blackburn in the eau
Gus. We have to face the fact, there
fore, that instead Of a cOnser ative and
restraining minority IN the ruling party
at Washington, we have radical
and intolerant minority-a minority. too,
which change of two or three votes will
convert into a majority. There are many
good men of both parties who have been
hoping, if not believing, that at least
few sagaciOus men were busy at
Washington trying to bring the DemOc-
racy to moderate counsels, and that at
a favorable time they would exert all their
influence on the right side. But we are now
informed-a pleasant bit of information truly !!
that the majority in Congress has no balance
wheel whatever.
