General James A. Garfield.

On the thirty-sixth ballot in the national
convention, yesterday, General James A.
Garfield of Ohio received majority of all
the votes cast for president, and on the mo.
tion of Senator Conkling of New York, the
leader of the supporters of General Grant
in the convention, the nomination was made
unanimous. We have time and room for a
brief notice merely. General Garfield was
born in Orange, Cuyahoga county, Ohio,
November 10, 1881; graduated at Williams
college, Massachusetts, in 1856 was presi-
dent Of literary institution for several
years; studied and practiced law; was state
senator in Ohio in 1S59-60; entered the
union army as colonel in 1861, was made
brigadier general and chief of staff of the
army of the Cumberland in 1862, and ma
jor general in 1863 He was elected to the
thirty.eighth congress in 1862 and has been
reelected at every succeeding election, max
ing nine terms in that body when the pres
emit term shall be finished. He is now the
ablest and most useful member of the house
on the Republican side. He was elected
United States senator to succeed Mr.. Thur
man, by the Ohio legislature in January,
and would have taken his seat in the senate
on the fourth of March next. He has been
a rising man from his first appearance in
public life, and has won his promotions civil
and military, by his talents, his integrity,
and by his faithful discharge of every trust
reposed in him. In his election the country
will have sure guarantee that the admin
istration of President Hayes will have fit

Work for RefOrmers.

Reports from the United States Brewers
falo, New York, give the number Of dele
gates in attendance as five hundred. 1t is
proposed to establish brewers academy.
The convention is an important one, not
only to the brewers, but to those whose bust
ness relations are identical with the trade
The extent of capital employed by the men,
bers of the association is over $500, 1000,
and the annual amount paid to the govern
ment under the revenue laws averages fully
sl0,000,000. No less than 9,S72,4l6 barrels
of beer were brewed during 1889, and it
is expected that this year the statistics
will show round 100000 barrels. There
are some $3.50 breweries throughout the
United States, the state of New York con-
tributing as many as 409 making the per-
centage of the beer contributions 343l per
cent as against other states. The next high
est state having the largest number of brew
cries is Pennsylvania, the percentage being
1907 of the 1888 breweries in that state.
Sixteen states having 2,43l breweries con
tributed 960S per cent of the entire con-
sumption. The total amount of tax paid to
the government on fermented liquors for the
year was sl09,7l7,543. The amount Of beer
exported from domestic manufacture for
1889 was : In bottles 76,475; in casks,
1859, the total value being Sl47, JOY. The
importation for the same period was 767, 700,
valued at s592,207. The value of hops ex-
ported was s2l22,S73, but none were I'M
ported. In 1873 the total value was $780,
627. The association is twenty years old.

The Silver Folly,

More than five hundred tons of silver
coin are in the New York sub,treasury, and
the stock is continually increasing. The
capacity of the vaults is nearly exhausted,
and the secretary of the treasury has asked
for an appropriation to build another strong
room suitable for the storage of these coins.
Congress, however, pays no heed to this re-
quest. The members who oppose it suggest
that if the secretary has more silver than he
can take care of, he should pay out some of
it. Plenty of people are willing to take it,
they say, and there is no doubt that il it
were left on the sidewalk, the treasurer
would soon be relieved of the care of it, but
to find men who are willing to take it in
payment of demands against the govern
ment is not so easy. Delegate Downey Of
Wyoming who, although poet, is severely
practical person, moves an amendment to
each appropriation bill that the secretary be
required to disburse the sums appropriated
in silver dollars This amendment to the
sundry civil bill appropriating twenty mil
lions was adopted in the house, we understand
and an exceedingly foolish measure it is
1t is adopted by the votes of men who object
to receiving one-tenth of their own salaries
in this coin, and thus show that they know
exactly how obnoxious the silver money is
and why. Mr.. Downey's amendment might
have some merit, however, if it really got the
silver out of the treasury and forced it upon
the people, who would thus learn the prac.
tical Inconvenience and injustice of the law
which compels the coinage of vast quaint
ties of silver which nobody wants, for the
best way to bring about the repeal of bad
law is to convince the public by their OWL
personal experience that it is bad. But un
fortunately the amendment if it should be
come law, will not have this effect, for by
the operation of another law providing fol-
silver certificates, every person who receives
silver coin may Immediately pay it back int
the treasury, receiving certificates for it, sc
that the treasury would not be relieved at all
Mr.. Downey must try again.

OUR AGRICULTURAL PRoDUcTs.-It is
noted by a writer in the International Review
that in fifteen years the production of wheat
and barley in the United States has trebed ;
corn, cotton and tobacco more than doubled,
oats increased nearly l4O,OOO,OOO bushels,
potatoes nearly doubled, and hay increased
more than one-third. lie gives the figures
for the chief crops in 1865 and 1879, &C.
cording TO which the production of wheat
has increased from las, 500 900 bushels in the
former year to 44S.755,OOO in the latter
corn from 70i, 427 900 to 1,544, 800, 900. The
exports have rapidly increased in the past
few years, and are likely to increase in the
future, especially if the cost of Transports
ton shall be reduced. Thus, the total ex-
ports OF all cereals increased from 30,0O0,-
600 bushels in 1858 to ls9,0OO,OOO in 1878
About three per cent OF the national product
was exported in 1868, aud nearly eleven per
cent in 1878. In addition to this, the ex.
portation Of live stock, into which corn en-.
ters more or less, has increased tenfold within
the past two years.

The Nominating Speeches.

Next to Mr.. Conkling's, Mr.. Garfeld's
speech nominating Mr.. Sherman seems to
receive appreciative comment. Mr.. Blaines
presentation by Mr.. Joy of Michigan is
thus commented on by the New York Trib-
une I" Mr.. joys speech must have been
profound disappointment to the friends of
Mr.. Blaine. He could not make himself
heard by the convention, and his speech
was tiresome, the matter being neither well
chosen nor well arranged. Mr.. Joy did not
hold the attention of the audience for more
than three sentences. He also mis-pro-
nounced the name of his candidate, calling
him James H. Such an introduction would
have fallen like wet blanket upon the
friends of any other candidate" Mr.. Pixley
was quite as unfortunate in seconding the
nomination as Mr. Joy was in making it,
and Mr. Frye of Maine came to the rescue
and by vigorous resurrection of the trite
rhetorical figure of captain at the helm
bringing storm-tossed ship safely into
port fred the magazine of enthusiasm {"
in the galleries. The "ship" in Mr.. Frye's
allegory was the state Of Maine, and the
"storm" the fusion attempt to steal the
state last winter. There is a sort of pop
ular belief that the substitution of General
Chamberlip's name in the place of Blaine
would have been more in accordance with
the" truth of history However, Mr.. Frye's
dramatic eloquence rescued Mr.. Blaines
nomination from the odium of a fee
BILE presentation. Nearly the last in the
alphabetical list of states stands Vermont.
When her name was reached the realms of
rhetoric had been exhausted by Frye, Gar
field and Conkling, and the ears of the vast
audience had been tickled as only the mas.
tiers of the art of public speaking can do,
but perusal of the eloquent speech of Mr.
Billings, which will be found in our extra
will satisfy Mr.. Edmunds' friends that their
candidate derived all the advantage he could
obtain from skillful, eloquent and entirely
adequate advocacy Of his qualifications fol
the Office of president of the United States
Mr.. Billings speech was eulogistic, without
being extravagant. All the elements Of
true eloquence were there in the man, the
subject, and the occasion, and the speak Q
made the most Of them.

PEABODY FUNp.-The $2,500,000 which
George Peabody left to establish homes for
the poor of London had grown to over 3d.
100000 last December, through additions of
rent and interest money to the principal.
The trustees Of the fund have already housed
9,905 persons in 1856 separate dwellings,
and have made arrangements to buy nine
acres Of land in Glassbouse street, near the
mint Whitecross street, st. Luke's; Bed
fordbury; Great Wild street, Drury Lane !;
Peartree court, Clerkenwell, and Old Pye
street, Westminster. To cover these sites
with buildings the trustees have obtained a
loan of 81 100000 from the fund, in yearly
installments of 100000 and on the condi-
ton that the whole shall be repaid in fifteen
years. They calculate that this sum will
provide homes for 10000 persons. The av.
erage weekly earnings of the head of each
family in the Peabody buildings last year
was about 90, the average rent Of each
dwelling about 81, and of each room about
fifty cents

DAVID DAVIS voted last week in favor of
closing the courts and cheating the marshals
out of their pay for services already rem
dered. Senator Window offered an amend.
ment to the pension deficiency bill, which
appropriated six hundred thousand dollars
for the marshals. He briefly called atten-
ton to the fact that the courts in various
parts of the country were about to be closed,
and that congress was on the point of ad-
journment The Democrats voted solidly
against the amendment and so did David
Davis. Probably Davis was thinking of the
closing words in his recent "platform,' y
which were these "My votes will speak
for themselves at the fitting time"
