COMMERCIAL INTERESTS sAcRIFIcE1

COMMERCIAL INTERESTS SACRIFICED.
If it is most undesirable for the United
States to have any foreign commerce or any
Secretary of State, and the reversal of his acts,
nav be doing the country good service. 1t is
fortunate for those concerned, in that case, that
they can benefit the United States while doing
with all their might the very things that England
most desires. But is it in truth n worthy and
patriotic thing to prevent any development of
the foreign commerce Of the country, and to
play the spiteful cur at the heels of every man
who tries to preserve for the United States
what trade and shipping it has left? May not
business men, merchants, manufacturers and
shipbuilders, especially in this great CONNER
cial city, wisely give a little sober thought to
the broad question of foreign policy which I'M
derlies this Peruvian CONTROVERSY For there
is in 1t, behind all personalities, National in
terest of the highest Importance. "The indi-
yidua wthers." Mr. Blaine's personal fortunes,
or personal merits or dement's, are, after all, a
matter of small moment. The main question is
whether the United States should make any
effort to regain its old place in the commerce
of the world.
The trade of Peru is of great consequence.
For many years Great Britain has desired to
secure the same paramount influence and ire
sistible supremacy in that trade that she has in
the commerce of Chilli Active and enterpris-
ing Americans, prior to the recent war, had
obtained strong hold in Peru; some were

simplicity that administered knock-medown
dose before witness he considers characteristic
specimen of insanity trying to DO clever; and the
self-confdence that brought the criminal home
from Italy he connects with insane delusion. The
fundamental error in Mr. Reade's logical process is
the assumption that murder is necessarily logical
and reasonable. The essential reasonableness OF
crime cannot be invariably predicated. On the
whole, therefore, must regard Mr.. Reade as
moro effective when he is reasoning man out OF
mad-house than when he is reversing the process.

The contested election case of Love against
Wheeler, from the With Congressional Dis
trict of Alabama, has been considered by the
subcommittee and will be reported to the full
Committee on Elections to-day. We hope
that it will soon be before the House, and that
it Will be acted upon as promptly as possible.
Tardy justice often aggravates wrong. Col
onel Lowe is a Greenback Democrat and Cen
eral Wheeler is a Regular Bourbon. The
Wheeler inspectors, when counting the votes
in 1885, threw out those Lowe ballots which
had printed on them figures showing the dis
trict of the Presidential elector. BY tits
and other devices they gave General
Wheeler a majority of fortytllree. 1t
goes almost without saying that the con-
struction which the Wheeler inspectors put
upcn the statute which declares that the
ballots shall be without "any figures, marks,
rulings" or the ike is most narrow and con-
strained If the Legislature of Alabama in
tended this, it must be that it meant to inn
pair the integrity of the legal voting power
of the State, instead of securing it in its
proper rights. And in that case the law is
probably unconstitutional. The sub-commit-
tee finds that Colonel Lowe is entitled to his
seat 10y 743 majority.

VALUABLE NEW CITIZENS.

Over seventy thousand immigrants arrived
at this port during the month of April, and
nearly all of them were sturdy, wel-to-do
people. who, almost from the moment they
land begin to work and thus augment the
productive capacity of the country. About 40
per cent Of all arrivals were Germans, and the
character of this most valuable OF all nation
alities represented in the newcomers steadily
improves. The women among them are excel
lent domestcs and mill operatives, and the
men are either skilled mechanics or farmers
who have sufficient money with them to take
them West and purchase unOccupied lands
upon which to build new homes. In shipload
of 672 Germans which arrived on Saturday,
each had a good supply of household furniture
and money varying in amount from $50 to
50, 800. Another valuable class are the Sean
dinavians, who, while bringing smaller sums of
money, are no less fitted for useful and produc-
tive work. They are thrifty, rugged people
who make sober and valuable citizens
There is perceptible increase in the number
of Holanders arriving, and work is always
ready for them, for they are always in demand.
They are temperate and honest, and as farmers
and dairymen command good wages in the
West. Many of them are skilled mechanics,
and for that class of labor the demand is
always good. The English, Scotch and Welsh,
while not forming a very large proportion of
the arrivals, are most desirable class, and
were never of better character than they are
this year. The Irish share the general improve
ment, and those coming at present are much
superior to the arrivals of recent years. The
poorest class of all are the Italians. A cargo
of nearly 1920 of them who came last week
had only $l05 among them. Unlike the rest
of the immigrants, these settle down almost en-
tirey in New York and devote themselves to
street-sweepng, scavenging, organ grinding,
or anything else which brings them a scanty
living. But while the number of them coming
has greatly increased this year, they form only
a small portion of the great mass from other
countries, nearly all of whom go West and
pass quietly and with almost inconceivable
rapidty into good citizens.

The difficulties of fighting the Indians are
wildly set forth by Colonel FOrsythe in his
report of his attack on some Apaches on April
20. The Indians had stationed themselves be-
hind line of great rocks, and when driven
from this position they climbed from crag to
crag, firing at the soldiers at distances of 500,
200 and LOCO yards. Colonel Forsythe says
he never has seen so rugged country.

The city's free college has been denounced
as useless burden on the taxpayers, because
Columbia was willing to open her doors to
poor boys free of charge The friends of the

of abolisbing free scholarships.

The conference committee of Pennsylva-
MIA Republicans after a long session last
night, ag reed upon series of recommends
tons for adoption by the State COnven-
ton May 10. They condemn the use of
patronage for personal ends, and declare that
no removals ought be made from office ex-
cept for cause; the expression of the popular
will should be carried out, and the State ticket
should commend itself to the voters. Some rules
were suggested for the government of the party
in the future. The main points are that the del
egates to the State Convention shall be- chosen
after the manner of members of the General
Assembly, on the basis of the Republi-
can vote; that the Convention shall be
held on the second Wednesday in July except
in the years of Presidential canvass, and
that every person who voted for the Kepubh-
can Presidential Electors at the last pre-
vious election shall vote for delegates
to the State and National Conventions.
If these suggestions are adopted and honestly
carried out, the Republican party i'll Pennsyl-
vania will hereafter be controlled by the voters
and not by the bosses

The Democratic system of legislation, which
is based upon the principle of never doing to-
day what can be put of until tomorrow or
next week, received check yesterday in the
House. 1t was decided by vote of $50 to 65
that Oh week from to-day the bill to extend
the charters of National banks shall be dis
cussed Some of the Democrats urged waiting
until the next session of Congress to see how
the banks whose charters expire in the mean
time would act. This is too much like seeing
how near one can go to the edge of precipice
and not fall over.

In another column will be found an important
letter from Professor Silliman upon sorghum as
a substitute for the tropical sugar cane. The
careful experiments in this line of DR.. Collier,
chemist of the Department OF Agriculture, con-
tinued through several years, led the National
Academy of Sciences last year to appoint a
committee to investigate the results which he
had obtained and to make a comprehensive
study of the whole subject. The report of that
committee Will not be published Immediately,
but its chairman, Professor Silliman, in the
letter which we print this morning, makes "a
clear and concise statement of the main facts
thus brought to lis attention, in the hope that
it is not toe late to apply them during the pres
ent season, at least in Louisiana, where the re-
cent floods are reported to have caused wide
spread injury to the sugar cane. The facts
thus presented are of the utmost Importance.
for they reveal the possibility of making the
United States the great sugar producing coun-
try of the world. Those who have most per-
sistently rated Mr.. lie Due as a visionary will
admit that the investigations Of the National
Academy of Sciences cannot be ignored and
we cordially wish the late commissioner and
the present chemist Of the Department of
Agriculture the good fortune to be recognized
as National beneiactOrs.
