THE newspapers, such of them as make
any fair comments at all, are speaking
truthfully and in high terms of the contrast
in the character of the men prominentin the
June national convention and the July ma
tional convention. One single instance IL
illustrates the whole The Republican nation
al committee chose Powell Clayton for tenn
porary chairman of the national convention.
The committee represented faction in the
party, and its choice was the behest of the
faction. Another faction defeated the cleo
ton of Clayton on the high moral ground
that he had turned traitor to the faction that
rose up in opposition to him. The whole
convention was disguised with the ''man
and brother" elected temporary chairman,
and allowed him to preside but an hour. On
the other hand the Democratic national
committee made choice of eX-Gov. Hubbard
of Texas, and the convention promptly ap-
proved the choice. A Republican contempt
rary has the fairness to say of him, she is a
man who well deserves any position he may
secure" Gov. Hubbard has now taken
prominent parts in two national conventions,
and the day is not far remote when he will
be sent to the United States senate, where
his high character, strong and varied attain
ments and conservative cast of mind will
render him an important and valuable ad-
junct.

EXCLUSION OF AMERrcAN oArrLE

EXCLUSION OF AMERIC4N CATTLE.
An attempt is being made to perfect an
arrangement to send cattle from the United
States ranches over the Canadian Pacific to
Montreal, and thence to England This is
opposed by British cattle dealers on the al
legged ground that foot and mouth and other
diseases prevail in American herds. This
opposition of the Canadians is inspired by a
desire to monopolse the cattle trade with
England, by shutting out competition from
the States The Canadians frankly admit
that the live cattle trade between Canada and
Great Britain, by shipping American cattle
on ali equality, would be practically de-
stroyed. 1t is about the only fourishing in
dustry the Canadians now have. The far
mers who have had such bad luck of late years
insist on being protected against the States.
Gladstone, and some other eminent Eng
lish statesmen opposed such stringent exclu-
sion Of American cattle, but were voted down.
The Canadians detiantly assert that disease
or no disease the EMBRACING of American cat
tie viii be pursued. This shows that the alleged
disease is mere sham, AN empty pretense to
secure exclusion. There is not much free
trade, not much reciprocity in this demand for
rigid protection of the canadian cattle rails
ers, against American competition.

that the manufacturer shall not be
deprived of protection nor the free trade
be forced to submit to custom house extor-
tions. 1t very happy compromise. 1t
is one of that kind that is intended to hit the
animal if it is deer, and to miss it if it is a
calf. There was but little debate on it, the
main thing done being the necessary effort
to prevent its being befouled by the
attempt to get up a union
between it and Buffers platform. The con-
vention does not seem likely to end before
tomorrow. Meanwhile this morning may
bring some new development The friends
of Bayard profess to feel encouraged, and it
is certain that until the favorite-son business
is ended the real work of nominations will
not begin.

then the Times property will be turned
over to him The Times is liable to be Demo

AN English court decides that a kiss is not
legal consideration. A surgeon in Lambeth
kissed working mans wife. The husband
valued the kiss at ;e5, and the surgeon gave his
note for that amount. When the paper fell due
it was not paid and suit was brought, The
learned Judge of the Lambeth County court
gave verdict for the defendant on the ground
that there was no consideration for the note.
The question arises if the case was decided on
its merits, the lady in court, or, if it lays
down general principle, that there may be
''ksses and kisses and nothing legal about
them.

THE Ottawa Free Press is agitating vigorously
for the establishment of divorce court in
Canada Divorce is almost breaking up the
social fabric in the States and working bad even
in England where it is surrounded with greater
safeguards. But it must be confessed that
Canada's rpositon is a most anomalous one.
Ours is essentially case of Ole law for the rich
and another for the poor. The French Canadian
members who vote against divorce bills are con-
sistent, but the English speaking ones who vote
for them and yet refuse to put them within
reach of all classes cannot justify their action on
any conceivable ground.

TRUE remark by the Chicago Herald: ''The
moral influence of 60,000,000 of free people is
much greater on foreign princes and potentates
than any amount Of wars machinery would be.
With courage self-respect and conservatism at
Washington, country poss essing the resources
that this does will always be honored abroad,
and never wantonly attacked, With impudence,
aggressiveness and lust of empire and glory
dominant at the capital all the forts, columbiads,
ironclands and armies that could be gathered to-
gether would give US neither dignity abroad nor
peace at home. Mr.. Randalrs appropriation may
be scant; the others certainly were excessive. We
cannot adopt the European standard of military

of the consequences"
