dental expenses. The results of all this con
slant expenditure are daily laid before the pub
lie in the columns of the Journals who foot the
bills, and they claim that after they have in
vested their capital in news it ought to be pro-
tcctcd from thieves for mt least eight hours a
period not so long as to interfere with the
honest country press. but long enough to hinder
the news thieves from undcrsclng the col
lcctOrs and owners of the news by stealing
their property aud publishing it simultaneously.
TO say that news shall not he protected in tins
way is to discourage honorable journalism and to
put premium upon the opposite kind. II 1t Is
not only profitable but legitimate to steal news,
and if the collectors of news are to be handed
over. bound hand and foot, to the thieves. 1t Is
evident that American journalism will rapidly
detcroratc, rogucs will be more ana more
attracted to the business, and honest men be
driven away from it. There is in fact no con
cciyabc reason why Congress should hesitate 10
enact the Newspaper Copyright bill, and as we
have shown. there are many obvious and unan-
swcrable reasons for making it the law OF the
land. Certainly the press. generally, beng
honest, will indOrSc and approve IT, and all the
opposition will come from those journals whose
own relations to the subject constitute the
strongest argument for the legislation proposed.

UTICA.

The attitude of New-YOrk at the Chicago
Convention is now substantially ascertalned.
OF the ~ delegates G6 have been chosen; "a
being for President Arthur and IL against him.
The two district delegates yet to be chosen VIII
probablv be for Arthur but the State Con
yention is absolutely in the hands OF his
opponents, so that if they choose to exercise
their full power, he cannot get any OF the i
observation-disclosures The utmost strength there-
fore. that he can be sure of is 20, IN the dele
CATION of 72 from his own State,
| The anti-Arthur victory is complete ana
| conclusive 1t will now be wise Tor the
| vicors to use their power in moderation. IhelI
opponents are also Republicans, and we shall
need every Republican vote III November. we
earnestly hope for a harmonious State Con
yention at tea next Wednesday with no fac
tious struggle, no wranglng and no effort to
ride roughshod over anybody
Beyond question this convention should fin
| ish I'D all the work there is for such body to
do this year. Besides the deegates-at-
! large to Chicago, there are Presden-
| tial Electors two Judges and State
| Committee to be chosen. 1t would be an
extraordinary mistake to leave this work I'M
done and put the party to the expense, trouble,
turmoil and dangerous delay involved III walt
| inc for another State Convention, next Septem-
Der, to attend to it.
\ moments reflection will show that at any
rate, it is absolutely necessary to choose the
State Committee now. The Republican can
didates for President and Nice-President are
to be named early in June. Unless
our State Committee is ready then, we
should be unable to begin any efficient canvass
in New-York till after another State COnven-
ton To have the canvass managed, one-half
by the old committee and one-half by new
one, would be manifestly foolish to have no
canvass till after second State Convention
would be madness. Plainly it is imperative to
choose the State Committee for this year now.
What else is there left to warrant another
convention? The Presidential Electors are
largely designated by the districts already, and
the four at large can be chosen rs easily now
as later OF the two Judges, one is practically
determined now, since there is general
agreement that the present incumbent should
be renominated. There is left, therefore,
lust one candidate for Judge to be named.
Surely we do not want the excitement
worry, pickering and expense of cleo
lions all over the State 10 another State
Convention, solely for that purpose. BY all
means let the Utica Convention do up all its
work, and give US a rest.

THE NEWSPAPER COPTRIGHr BILL

For some inscrutable reason the Senate
Library Committee has reported against the
Newspaper Copyright bill. which nevertheless
has been placed on the calendar. II is imp0ssi-
bic to understand how there can be any serious
opposition to this measure, and it can only be
concluded that the committee failed to give it
due examination. A proposition to protect the
original collectors of news for few hours
against the depredations of news thieves might
be supposed to stand strongly enough upon its
own merits Opposition to such law can only
rest on the assumption that there can be no
private property i'll news. This assumption,
however, is absurd on its face. For while it is
true that it is open 10 any one to collect and
shape intelligence that intelligence when so
collected and shaped represents labor and cap
ital. and being the product of both il as much
property as any other result Of human exertiOn
and money. The news thieves have hitherto
been allowed to appropriate this kind of prop
erty freely, and the consequence is they have
been enabled to present false show of enter
prise and expenditure, and to build up valuable
properties upon the output of their more honest
and enterprising neighbors. The competition
engcndered is precisely such as would arise be-
tween two tradesmen, one of whom paid for,
and the other stole, his wares. Congress is now
asked to prevent this thievng OF news, and the
Senate Library Committee reports against put
ting any obstacle in the way of the thieves, for
that is really what it amounts 10.
The collection of news is r regular and costly
business. 1t involves systematic location of
agents, correspondents and reporters heavy
tecgraphic and postal outlay much travel by
rail and steam and stage. and NUN berless Incl

1t is to be wished that some scientific person
would collect and anayze the statistics of mortality
by the means of unloaded guns and pistols In the
wel-known work of NJ. Quatrefages on tho Doc
trno of Probabilities, this interesting question APP

sary that it should DO examined because at present il
seems IT, be subject to unknown influences which
run counter to the law of chances. For example, it
is well known that in battle 1t takes on an average
100 English and 40 German bullets TO kill "A man.
But il is notorious that whoever points an unloaded
weapon at another always kills at the first fire.
This remarkable difference between the lethsl
powers of loaded aud unloaded weapons merits far
more serious attention than it has received There is
indeed something positively weird about tho unerr-

observation might demonstrate that the surest way

THE NEW- YORK DELEGATION.

On another page of this impression we present
in detail the result reached in 33 out of the 81 dis
tIicts of this State in the choice of delegates to
the Chicago National Convention. The figures
are believed to be entirely Trustworthy, and
may safely be submitted to those whom they
may concern without comment. 1t is impossible
TO mistake their meaning. They demonstrate
that Mr. Blaine is easily the first choice of a
majority of the Republicans of this pivotal
State for the Presidential nomination. The
other worthy candidates most talked of for the
position have many ardent supporters in all
sections of our great Commonwealth, but MI.
Blaine is the favorite of the greatest number
The great principle of district representation
has been indicated in the conduct of these con-
ventions. They have not been dominated by
machine. The teoplo and not the bosses have
spoken through them. The delegates that have
been chosen are, as a rule, bona ide representa-
tives of the constituencies to which they are

The engineers of the New York State Survey
have been subjected to considerable sharp criti-
cism in certain quarters of Late on the ground
that they have wasted their time and the tax
payers money. 1t will be seen by the state
ments in communication to THE TRIBUNr
this morning that this faultfinding is uncalled
for. The work of the Survey during the last
seven years has just been examined by the Off
GERS of the United States Survey, who declare
that it is of great value, and that it has been
carefully. economically and skilfully done.

The defeat of the Morrison bill is fOregone
conclusion; and now the chief anxiety of the
tariff thinkers in the House seems to be to arrange
the debate on it that it shall do the Dem
ocIatic party as little harm as possible. The
Ways and Means Committee will hold a meeting
TO day especially to consider this point. Speaker
Carlisle himself, it Is said, will sum up for the
defence in place of Mr.. Hurd, of Ohio, as was
originally intended. This will not be a pleasant
task for the Kentucky statesman; but it will
not be half so difficult for him to do 1t gracefully
as il would b. for Mr. Hurd, in view of the broken
promises made TO the Ohio wool growers by
tho Democratic party last tall.

The heavy exports of gold last week were
drawn manly from the Treasury by the redemp-
ton of gold certificates The decrease III GER
tiicatcs outstanding was SO, 633,99o' ana III
gold held $685. 1856. so that the Treasury
really owned about $500. 900 more gold at the
end of the week than at the beginning. It's
stock Of silver increased %5GS,572, while the
amount of silver certificates outstanding de'
creased, and the stock of silver owned was
therefore Increased $7Gl,572. The amount OF
legal tenders and lesal-tender certificates hcid
nv the pcople decreased S777,0l0. Thus the
receipts of the Treasury exceeded its dsbulSe-
ments by l,6G7, O3G during the week, and the
NET result was Il loss of ;,3,32S,3S6 gold, gam
of %5Go. 572 silver, and redemption OF
SLG2G. $50 notes and certificates. The rcduc-
ton of half a cent in rates of exchange on
Thursday led some bankers to anticipate

mitted that the evidences Of a discontnuance

Business men are naturally slow to admit that
their trade is not good but there is no longer
any reason to doubt that the completion Of the
Brooklvu Bridge has had a serious effect upon
retail traffic in some of the downtown streets.
In Fulton-st. this is most noticeable. II Will
be seen by an article published elsewhere III
this immersion that business there has fallen
off in the last year about % per cent. Inc eating
houses aud cigar stores, which heretofore nave
had good trade all night, are the first to ylein
to The inevitable. They now close early, for lew
hungry or thirsty theatre gOers from brooklyn
pass their doors. The Bridge takes them all
and the former profit of the Fulton-st dealers
is distributed between the restaurants uptown
in New York and out of town-in Brooklyn.

The school statistics of San Francisco
show that the native element is gaining
in that city. Of all the children in the
city 20, 904 are the children of native
parents; 14,874 are of mixed parentage
and {. 216 of foreign parentage. The
number of foreign-born children is only
8Ss. In 1sSO-sl the figures stood as
follows: Children of native parentage,
1868; of mixed p~arentage, O.44O. and
of foreign, parentage, 50.23S. The in
crease this year in the children of native
parents is in round numbers 20 per
cent; in the children of mixed parent
age, 40 per cent, with a decrease of 4
per cent. in the children of foreign par.
entage. Not long ago the children of
foreign parentage were two to one of
the natives. 1t is believed that by 1890
the children of native parents will be
largely in excess of the others. The
same change is going on in the voting
population.

THE HAGUE, June 23.-The Prince of
Orange passed a calm night and 4 peaceful
morRing before his collapse. In the fore
noon Saturday, he seemed so well tina the
doctors talked of sending him to the South
of France. At eleven o'clock, he suddenly
exhibited symptoms of extreme weakness

greatly enfeebled, but subsequently a
slight recovery was noticeable, but his lungs
seemed paralysed. From this time until his
death the Prince remained unconscious. The
King has returned from Carlsbad and held a

Death on the Rail.

SLATINGTOS, PA, June ol.-A shocking
accident occurred near here i'm which two
~well-knOun and highly respectable ladies
lost their lives. Mrs. Daniel Rooms. of
Walnntport, residing opposite SlatingtOn.
Who was the mother Of T. b. Koons, the
general agent of the Lehigh & S~USquehanna
division of the Reading road, and Mrs.
Stem, the mother of Harry and William
Stem, proprietOrS Of the Steinton irOn-workS
near EastOn. We're walking on the tracks OF
the Reading road in Walnutport last evening
when Mrs. Stem stumbled and fell. See
ing an approaching train Mrs. Rooms endea-
vored to pull the unfortunate lady from the
track, but before she succeeded in dragging
her from the rails the train, which was OF
the Lehigh & SuSquehanna Road, cam
upon them, and both ladies were killed.
The body of Mrs. Moons. it is said, was
.shockingly mangied, and she died instantly.
Mrs. Stem lived abou an hour. Mrs. Stem
resided in Kempton, and was on a visit to
Mrs. Rooms. The news spread rapidly, and
the remains of the unfortunate ladies were
picked up and taken home.
