Democratic nominating convention In
Pennsylvania is evidently blessing to the
town where 1t Ia held. The contest on this
subject In the Democratic Central Committee,
which met the other day to make this selec-
ton, was earnest. long and exciting. No less
than twenty towns came forward as COM
petttors for the convention and each tried to
outbid the other. All Of them, without ex-
ceptiou, offered Il free hall fer the meeting Of
the convention and brass bands ad hbit,tm.
Reading went even further and agreed to
supply the members of the convention with
rs much beer as they could drink. This pa
trlotie offer, however, was politely declined,
and the committee finally selected Harris
burg, as of old. =5z

Nova Scotia will soon be without Legisla-
ture. That body has just voted In favor of
It's own dissolution, declaring that there was
not enough business left for 1t to do to keep
the members at work. Since the consolda-
tion OF the several provinces OF British North
America into one Dominion, the Canadian
Parliament has been rapidly extending It's
jurisdiction until the local legislatures Of the
different provinces have little else to do except
to license dogs, change names and pass fence
laws. The Nova Sootian Legislature has
come to the conclusion that 1t was costing the
people too much for the amount OF work
done, and proposes TO adjourn sire die. The
work Of Capitalization may. therefore, be said
to be nearly complete In Canada.

The organization of citizens party Tor the
purpose of eleeting an independent Legisia-
ture, to give effect to the new constitution, 10
mooted by some Of the San Francisco papers.
The proposition is denounced by the kearney-
,tas who insist that the constitution Is their
creation and they intend to fill all the offices
under 1t. The latter are evidently claiming
too much. The ratification OF the constitution
was in no sense party victory, nor was the
convention that formed 1t composed OF ma
jority Of the Kearney party They were In
decided minority. The constitution and Its
ratification was due to combination OF the
people, irrespective OF party, against the pow
erful corporations which have heretofore
dominated the State. Such a combination
would be as potential against Kearney and
his followers Ia an election for members OF the
Legislature as 1t was against the corpora
tions, and he Is so shaping affairs as to make
It n necessity. Kearney would do well to go
slow, ..55. 5..55

The Newark Sunday law war has broken
out again. 1t will be remembered that the
strict Sabbatarians and the liquor men agreed
to compromise some days ago by which
both sides agreed to stand off and not attempt
to enforce the strict true-blue Sunday law still
In force of New Jersey. Last Sunday the
Sabbatarians declined to carry out the terms
of the compromise and began q new crusade
on the liquor men, arresting large number
Of them. These arrests will bring on the war
again, worse than 1t has ever ragged. The
Germans, who are opposed to this Sunday
temperance are determined to have the pres
ent law repealed, and are organizing them
selves into a new political party, and will
make the Sunday law an Issue In the next
ram pajpn.

The Texas Legislature is to enjoy an extra
session early In June. 1t Is called together
for the purpose OF passing the appropriation
bill The original bill was vetoed by the
Governor because 1t provided for the payment
OF more money than the revenues Of the State
yielded. The Legislature adjourned last
month, without taking any action on this
veto, and have now to be called together
again to solve this great financial question.
As matters now tand, the State OF Texas has
entirely failed to make any provision for the
payment of the interest on Its State debt, or
for the support of It's public schools.

Gov. ut. John, OF Kansas, has written TO the
Philadelphia Times concerning the negro emil
grants In Kansas. He has investigated the
subject and knows what he Ia talking about
Only 5000 negroes have arrived In the State
up to date, and Of these 1000 he declares
paupers, without money enough to buy them
selves food. The Governor was lately red
hot exodus man. but has considerably modi-
fled his views Of late, and now believes that
the negroes have been deceived, and would
rather see them 90 Off to some other State
than remain In Kansas.

THE CANAL LEASE.

In attracting attention to the New canal
1t has not been our purpose to attack the les
sees or In any manner to question their man.
agement OF It. Upon this question we have
no explicit information, nor anything beyond
the presumption created by the fact that, out
OF a contract which originally called for the
payment of $757, 900, the State has realized
but $4,000 80.
We understand that the enormous differ
ence between these sums is regularly ac-
counted for on the statute books Of the State,
In the shape of allowances for repairs and i'm
proyements all Of which has been infinitely
specified. These notifications of the origi-
nal lease were made by the Legislature, pre-
snmably on the fullest information How the
conditions upon which these notifications
were made have been fulfilled has been the
subject of repeated Investigations In the
courts as well as by legislative COM
mittees. Upon the testimony supplied
by these inquiries we may as
sumo that the lessees have done all that
they have been required to do, and that the
State authorities are mainly responsible for
whatever losses the State may have suffered
from the bad management Of this very i'm
portant public work. Nevertheless, the sum
of money involved rs represented by the diff
ference between the insignificant sum Of @
fraction over thirteen Thousand dollars re-
ceived by the State and the very considerable
one Of over seven hundred and fifty Thousand
called for by the original terms of the lease
will yet justify the closest judicial scrutiny OF
the manner and extent to which the condi-
tions upon which these enormous allowances
were made have been complied with.
| This, however is O question which concerns
the State authorities exclusively, and what
conclusion may be reached In regard to the
matter In no wise affects the purposes or ar
guments OF the DEMOCRAT Our agitation Of
this matter has had reference solely to the
future. and the sole object we have had In
view is, 50 soon as the State may recover the
control OF this important channel, whether by
judicial abrogation of the lease or Its termina-
ton according to the terms of the contract. te
release the trade which seeks our city through
this avenue, as far as possible, from the heavy
burdens that have heretofore been imposed
upon it, In this position we are fully sus.
tanned by Mr.. Kenner, the agent of Gen. Tay
lor, the lessee OF the canal, who has aeauiesced
lH the Views Iong ago expressed by this
paper. Our position is, In few
words, that the canal, as a channel Of
commerce, should be free from tolls. The
benefit TO be realized to the State from 1t as q
pecuniary investment should be, as Mr.. Ken
ner says, a reflective benefit"-a benefit de-
| rived from the encouragement which would
be extended to this very valuable trade
There should be no charges whatever upon
this commerce, but this might not be feasible
Immediately, in view Of the present financial
embarrassment OF the city In any event,
the tolls should be placed at the lowest possi-
BILE figure, and they should be imposed with

The lower house OF the Missouri Legisla-
ture has been sedueed by the rows Of figures
presented by the friends and advocates OF the
Moffett register and passed that bill. The
st. Louis papers have mildly opposed the
bill. but the general feeling in Missouri Is to
allow 1t @ fair test. The most absurd pro-
phe cies are made concerning the amount of
revenue this tax will yield, some Of the advo-
Gates OF the register placing it as high as
st,5O0ooO Missouri has good drinking popu-
lation, but the beIl-puneh Is easy to beat. and
there Is little likelihood Of the State getting
half Of what 1t is entitled to.

attempt was made, q year ago. to pass an in
come tax bill, but failed on account Of the
great amount Of business before Congress.
This bill was offered again, the other day, but
WINS not taken up, as 1t failed to get the nee

up the bill, thus ensuring its passage when 1t

What Secretary Sherman
-- Thinks.

Secretary Sherman, accused of contrib
uting $1,750 to pay the deb of Casa
nave, one of the Louisiana Returning
Board tells Herald correspondent that
he gave n thing, in fact, but that he holds
that Casanave's debts ought to be paid
by general contribution of the Office
holders, as he believes the republican
party bound in honor to stand behind
the Louisiana Re urnlng Board.
Well, yes !; if it is true that "to tho vic
tors belong the spoiis," as Mr.. Sherman
evidently holds, it is but fair that they
should assume the OBJ igations when they
t Ike the assets. 1t is pleasing instance
of gratitude in high places to find Mr..
Sherman, who has alredy provided at
the government expense for Anders m,
Wells and Kenner, the other members
of the notorious. Louisiana Returning
Board, and for forty or fifty oftheir cous
ins, SISTERS and aunts, now generously
turning over Casanave to a general con-
tribution of the office-holders. "Benev-
olence," said Sydney Smith, "is when A
bOrrows guinea of B to give to c."
Why not take it out of the Ohio cam
paign fund, Mr.. Sherman?
