New Iron Steamers.

An iron steamship is in course
of construction at the east, to be
known as the Queen of the Pa
ciic. She will ply between San
Francisco, Astoria and Portland.
4 new iron screw steamer Of $500
tons, to be known as the Pieter de
Coninck, was launched at Lint
house, June llth, b. Alexander
Stephen & Sons, and i intended
for the trade between Antwerp
and New York. She has large ac-
commodations for emigrants and
cattle. The Barrow ship building
company launched the City Of
Rome ut Barrow-in-F'urness on the
l4th ult. With the exception OF the
Great Eastern, this Is the largest
steamship ahoat She was built
for the Inman line, and Will ran
between Liverpool and New York.
Her dimensions are: Length, 5SG
feet; breadth, y feet ; inches;
depth of hold. 3; feet, with 4 ton
mage of S,S26 tons; her horse
power indicated is 10000. The
vessel is To be rigged with four
masts. Her shell plating is ar
ranged on the principle that has
been applied with great success
to large transatlantic steamers
built az Barrow-in-t'urness; the
inside plates form complete skin.
TO propel the ship at the high
speed of eighteen knots an hour,
the builders have adhered TO the
single screw arrangement, and
adopted a propeller twenty-four
feet in diameter. Steam is sup
piled by eight cylindrical tubular
boilers, fired from both ends. The
engines are inteaded to work con.
stantly at 5000 indicated horse
power, although they will be capa
ble of developing 10000 horse
power indicated. Her displace-
ment at twenty-six feet mean
draft is 1880 tons. and the cu.
bical contents OF the hold give
measurement capacity AT ;,72o
tons.

THE ST1TE CONVE N7JON

The harmony which was so remarkable be-
tween the Democratic and COnkling press dur
ing the summer still continues They are full
of exultation over the recent meeting of the
State Committee, and words fail them to ex
press their scorn and fury at the Republican
papers for declining to get excited about it.
There is no occasion for excitement and the
action of the Committee caused no surprise.
The majority of that body was appointed be-
fore the designations of our late Senators, and
it acted after its kind. 1t had but a few things
to do, and those things it did as was expected.
General Arthur very properly stayed away
from the meeting, on account of the Office he
holds, and his place was filed by Mr.. Platt,
who certainly has the qualification of being
as thoroughly out of Office as any man in New
York. The Committee had but one task before
them, to fix time and place for holding the
State Convention. The entire State, we be-
lieve, favored a late Convention - THE
TRIBUNE has constantly recommended it. We
will not inquire into the motives of the ma
jority in giving themselves a week more than
the minority wanted. Then came the question
of the place. The majority of the Committee
voted, under orders, it is reported, for New
FORK. We have already said what seemed
necessary to be said on that subject. What they
may have hoped to accomplish by it is mat
ter OF very trifiing Importance, as will be seen
when the Convention comes together.
If the President be living on the 9Th of Oc-
tober and on the way to health, he will have
no enemies In this State, or at least none so
shameless as to make public exhibition of
their enmity. The Convention will do what
the Committee, for reasons doubtless satisfac-
tory to ITSELF omitted to do. 1t will express its
sympathy with him and in that way represent
the real wishes and feelings of the majority of
Republicans. There will be no desire to ostra
CHE anybody because he did not act with the
majority in the Senatorial elections. But there
will be q strong determination that the hearty
accord of the majority of the party with the
President shall be expressed, in the nominations
made and in the resolutions adopted. 1t will
be very inconvenient for the party if the
Convention fails to represent the will of the
majority in this respect Possibly so strange q
disregard of the wishes of the party might re-
suit disastrously in the election. Hence we take
1T for granted that the candidates and plat
form will be in hearty accord with the Admin
istration.
II the President should be taken from us be-

PROHTBITORY CIDER-PRESsES

The PrOhibitionists of Ohio are in q sort of
scrape, and their reputation for consistency is
in danger of blighting damage. Their can
didate for Governor, Mr.. Ludlow, turns out TO
be a manufacturer of cider-mills and wine
presses. Substantially, this is as bad as if Mr..
Ludlow owned big distillery or was pro-
pretor of n vineyard. For Mr.. Ludlow's
party is dreadfully uncomprOmising and does
not permit cider-drinking or cider-selling by
any manner of means. 1t sees serpents coiled
within vessels OF the sparkling apple Juice. and
has doubts, predicated upon it's possible and
probable weekday consumption, even of the
sacramental wine. Mr.. Ludlow would hardly
be n good Prohibition candidate if he fur
nished the whskey distilers with barrels. or
ever with bungs; and how he can be mucb
perter in the Prohibition eye while he makes
cider-presses it would take the most cunnino
OF casuists to discover and demonstrate. We
are not sure that producer of corl-screws
ought to find favor with Prohibtionists con-
sdering the closeness OF their principles, even if
they might be allowed to vote for a retailer of
tumblers or cutter of corks. For it must be
remembered that rigidity is the prominent Pro-
hibition notion. There isn't any "give,n if we
may use that word, to its creed, while latitude
marian elasticity ought to be it's especial horror.
1t is not wonderful, therefore, that Candidate
Ludlow's cider and wine presses albeit still
uncontaminatcd by the flavor and smell of the
obnoxious juices, have excited public attention
and stimulated unfeeling squibs in the Repub-
lican newspapers. 1t was necessary to do some
thing, and it was thought best to interview Mr..
Ludlow III the cider press mandatory itself.
The Champion CaU sent it's champion reporter
to talk with Mr.. Ludlow about the dubious

to holders all over the country, but is felt in
the diminished demands upon this market from
other monetary centres. This is also true OF
the pensions discussed, of which only q small
part is payable here.
With ample supplies Of money in sight, and
no stoppage in the shipments from Europe
for 100000 more was shipped from England
on Saturday-we may reasonably expect di-
minished demand from the interior for opera
tiOns in grain. 1t is said, however, that the
outside public has taken up the wheat
speculation where the ring dropped it, and
is buying largely in expectation Of still
higher prices. The prolonged and severe
drouth has done great damage to the crops,
and injury to corn will react to some extent
upon the demand for wheat. Nor are the
later reports as to wheat as satisfactory as
those of week ago, though it is
hoped that the recent showers at the
West may have helped the growing
corn. Continued storms in England have
caused some increase in the export demand for
grain. But hattering accounts from Rus
STA, and statements that Austro- Hungary will
have 100000 bushels of wheat for export,
against none lastyear, indicate that the amount
exported from this country may be much
diminished if the prices should continue
high. 1t is very old mistake to sup
pose that Europe is going to buy precise
ly given quantity of grain whether
we sell at 81 or at 81 SO per bushel. Other
business has been larger during the past week
than in any week in August. Though the ex-
changes at Chicago were swelled far beyond
the largest ever known before, on account of
the settlement of the wheat operation, the vol
ume OF other business there and elsewhere was
also the largest ever known for the season.

fore the Convention meets, or if it should
appear by that time that he cannot recover, the
Convention will be ready to hold up the hands
of General Arthur in such course of con-
duct as shall best conserve the interests of the
country, which we believe to be bound ND at
present in the success of the Republican party
But even in that case it will not be well for
anyone to imagine that the people of this
State have not been the friends and supporters
OF General Garfield to the end, and do not cor
daily indorse his conduct, administrative and

Will give their sympathy and support to Cen
eral Garfield's Administration. No matter what
may have happened in the past, the present
duty is to place ourselves in harmony with the
Republican party of the whole Nation. There
is nothing extraordinary in asking this. 1t is
only few days ago that Mr.. Lapham was
elected to the Senate after receiving the unani-
nous nomination of Republican caucus over
MIR. Conklng. There is no reason or common
sense in trying to perpetuate divisions in the
party in this State. Why should any man call
himself Stalwart now? The name had
better be left to it's most Odious
and conspicuous wearer. What does one
Republican gain by calling another one a
Halfbreed, silly nickname which never had
any signficance9 With little effort on the
part of the Presidents friends in this State, a
Convention may be brought together in Octo-
Der which-whatever may be the issue of the
weary fight which our heroic leader is making
against such fearful Odds-will reflect nothing
but credit upon their constituents, and will put
us in position to keep New-York Republican
