TRADE NTH PERSIA.
change I

The State Department has been Informed
through the Legation at Teheran that the fer-
sian Government is disposed to 0lfer every
facility to improve business relations between
Persia and the United States 1t is intimatod
that proposals for concessions for tramways,
railways, mines or commercial projects Will re-
ceive the most serious and favorable consldera-
ton from the Government. This sounds well,
but there are a good many difficulties in the
way of the dey eyeopmcnt of active commerce
with Persia, and American merchants railroau
builders, miners and projectors generally Will
do well to examine the ground carefully Deloie
they commit themselves in any way Inc con-
dtiOn of Persia to-day is very bad indeed Inc
government is more rotten than that OF Turkey
which is a strong statement. There Is virtually
no law that can be depended upon. There Is
certainly no authority to be relied on III inc
matter of contracts. Corruption and intrigue
dominate the Teheran Court. Trade Is stag
nant everywhere. Ignorance and Digotry pre-
vail among the people. In fact ?ll the worst
vices of the most debascd Orientalism flourish
there.
But this is by no means all. The question
who rules Persia is one not easily to be an
swered. For some years past the dominant
power at Teheran has been Russia, but Eng
land ftfully contends for supremacy with the
MuscOvite, and either of these is stronger
than the Shah. The ultimate triumph OF
Russian diplomacy, how ever, wOnld be almost
certainly disastrous to the commerce oil any
other country for where Russia goes she carries
her own trade with her. and wherever it is pos
siblc shc establishes monopoly. All the sigrs
mt present point to the continued growth OF
Russian influence mt Teheran, and therefore
the arrangement of concessions with the native
government must be regarded as doubtful and
precarious. What Persia needs, and what she
must have before the resources OF the country
can be properly developed, il stable and en-
lightcned government Lacking that there can
be but a feeble commercial growth, nor will
foreign capital be invested in Persian enter
priscs recurring time and large expenditures
for their completion. To-day nobody can VEN
turc to say who or what will rule at Tehcran
five years hence and tht uncertainty must
render impracticablc or SO dangerous as to be
most imprudcnt any serious attempts by
American capitalists to expand the trade or the
transportation facilities of that stagnatlng ard
i'll governed country.

THE TRIBUNE commends to all Republicans
in the State, both leaders and rank and file, the
odn,onitorv, verse of n familiar hymn-

admontOry verse of q familiar hymn
Neer think the victory won
Nor once at sit down;
Thy arduous work will not be done
IT'LL thou hast got thy crown
The crown which the supporters of Daven-
mort and Carr are anxious To secure Is the
diadem of party victory in November. But 1t
is not TO be obtained without hard consecutive
work. All signs point to an emphatic Republl-
can victory. and just because they do there IS
great danger that our party friends will relax
their exertons while our opponents redouole
their own. Political history tells of many strong
and popular ticket being defeated, not by the
enemy. but by the Over confidence OF its friends
We urge the necessity OF earnest, unremlttihS
cxertion upon Republicans during the Drici
time that remains of the campaign, because
from all points comes the same report Here III
New York, over in Brooklyn and through the
interior our friends remark Things arc look
@inc first rate; the Republican prospect OF
Gcorrvinr the State was never better; we are
9 sure TO win. prori9ed we can bring out the vote
sSome of our folks have an impression that
" we've got dead sure thing, and it may be nara
" to induce them TO come ont" Let these TOO
nrevious. oyer-cOnfident brethren be sought
ont and brought into line. No party has dead
sure thing until the polls close election day
one week from next Tuesday. Let every Re-
publican recognize his individual responsible
ity. The State Committee is faithful and IN
defatigablc We hear the best accounts from
the county committees in different sections.
Snch organizations can accomplish much, but
they can by no means accomplish everything.
They need and are entitled to the patriotic as
sistonce of every voter who calls himself kc-
publican, of every voter who desires clean
frugal and dignled administration OF State
affairs.
Let there be no mistake, Republicans OF
New-York Too much depends on the result
of this election. The restoration of the State
Government to Republican management the
continuance of Republican majority in the
Legislature the selection of Republican tor
United States Scnato: the redemption OF the
country in 1SS9-all these vital matters are In
vovcd in the battle so soon to be ended 10
win we must work, every man OF us, each ac-
cording to his opportunity. David i. Hill cannot
defeat Ira Davenport. The only thing that can
defeat him is Republican ovcr-coniidence.
Forcwarned is f0rcaImcd.

WHAT DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS HAS COST.
Since the Democratic party went out of power
i'm dishOnOr and disgrace in 1861, until the
present canvass. its chief appeal to the voters
has been ." the need of II change" From Maine
to California Democratic orators and news
papers ychcmently assured the people last year
that change at Washington would De followed
by an immediate renewal of confidence and
business prosperity. In the Democratic Ma
tional Platform the Republican party was de-
nouncod for having "paralyzcd business, Grip
Piled industry, and deprived labor OF employ
mcnt and of just reward" Taking that as his
text. Mr.. Hendricks besccchcd the voters to
eject the Democratic ticket and promised in
speech at indianapolis an immediate renewal
of prosperity. "lightcr burdens upon the people.
"morey returning 10 the channels of trade and
"renewcl demand for the products of industry
aand the consequent increased demand for
"labor and universal prosperity"
Such promises, with malicious attacks on the
Republican candidate, formed the entire
burden of the Democratic song Of last year.
How have those promises been redeemed The
voters will search in vain for any reference to
the matter in Democratic speeches and news
papers this year. II business was "paralyZcd
a year ago, under a Republican Administration,
what shall be said of it now under the rule of
the Democrats in both the STATE and the Ma
ton
Governor Hill has claimed credit for every
thing done 1T Albany, but he has not told the
voters that the State tax this year ia 2.96 mills
as compared with 2.4j mills under the last Re
publican State Administration. Compare the
prices If farm products now, under the change
at Washington, with those obtained at the same
time last year, when business was "paralyzed
under u Republican Administration, and note
the result:

The CHIO RESULT.


The Ohio election has gone into the courts,
as Was expected. The corruptiouiSts of Cincin-
natl, it appears, have so altered the returns that
"A Republican majority Of about 800 has been
overcome for the Legislative ticket, and i. is
now proposed Jy the ring that certificates shall
be- given to all the Democratic candidates. The
Republicans have appealed tn the courts, and
hope for n favorable decision restraining the
county clerk. who is n creature of the ring, by
Injunction. Bat it is asserted on the other side
that the clerk will defy and disregard the
courts and that he will be sustained in t,c end
by the Supreme Conrt of the State, which Gov
ernor IIoahly took care to make urqualiGedly
Democratic for the present by his temporary
appointment of Atherton.
Tie result of the election in Hamilton County
will affect the political complexion of The State
Senate only. The House is Republican beyond
a peradventurc, and there is no longer n doubt
that, even if certificates should be given to all
the Democratic legislative candidates from
Hamilton County, there would still be Repub-
lican majority of three in the Legislature Oh
joint ballot. But the State Senate ought to
Oust any men fraudulently sent from Hamilton
County without an hours delay. The chief in
duccmcnt 20 pcrpctrate such outrageous frauds
is that a long delay often occurs in legislative
bodies before the matter can be reached and
settled and meanwhile the desired seats arc

ruF MASSACHUSETTS, CENSUS.

The State census of Massachusetts shows an
ipcreasc IN population of $50 per cent during tho
five wears since 1850 Ii was not to be expected
that the rate of increase would be IA great as the
known ratr in the United states n whole because
in tho older scabonrd States the rate of increase IL
always much smaller. The fact is that the gain in
Massachusetts under all the circumstances, is
surprisingly largo. II is noted. however, by those
who examine the figures that tho increase has been
almost exclusively in the cities and manufacturing
towns fIt Is true every county IN the state shows
some increase. excepting Earnstahie. Dukes and
Nantucket But in berkshire County, Pittsield.
Adams and North Adams gain 800 in population,
while the whole county gains only 1000 In
Bristol Comfy. Fall River. New Bedford Taunton
and Attleboro gained about II. 900. while the whole
comfy gained nhont 500 less. Generally speaking
the Increase in cities and towns having more than
10 600 inhabitants each has been 1874 per cent in
five years. the increase in places having more than
= 900 inhabitants each has been 1872 per cent, and
tn increase in the rest of tho state has been only
g. / > per cent. Even of this small increase. part
is due 10 the growth of suburban towns near Boston
and other largo cities. where the gain in population
results from the choice Of country residences bv
lar.er number OF persons doing business in the
cities
At the same time it is possible to attach too
much importance to these comparisons, because of
the peculiar circumstances Of the past fow years.
In times of great industrial depression. especially
when farm products arc very cheap and farming is
uprcmunorative there is n natural tendency in
manufacturing States to concentrate tho largo
uncmploy,d population in tho towns great
many persons. who find employment IN thu country
when times are good. either directly on farms or in
mechanical empoymonts supported mainly by
farming find themselves ont Of sufficient occupation
when prices of farm products are low and industries
arc depressed and thus are driven to tho cities in
the hope that they may draw something more than
"A blank in tho loltcry of employment which there
prevails Nor is there reason to expect increase in
the farming population of IA Eastern state, in
times when the phcnomcnally low rates of trans
portatnn from distant parts of tho country enable
the far-oil farmers TO place not only their wheat
and their corn but thor cattle. butter, choose and
vegetables in Eastern markets at lower prices than
the Eastern farmers usually obtain. The effect of
cheap transportation upon farming industry in the
Eastern States has not been fully Appreciated and
il is probable that tho building of too many rail
roads and the excessive competition between rail
way lines thus produced, is responsible for n cOnsid
erablc part of the depression which exists in the
older States.

There will be no mourning over the fact that
Ward has been transferred from Luclow-st to
the Tombs The community rather experiences
n feeling of qualification. 1t has been felt that
the ends of Justice were not served so long rs
this man, who has been the cause of untold sor-
row and misery was comfortably, even inXu-
riously, ouartcrcd in the County Jail, where his
expenses were paid ut the rate of $40 week.
presumably by some of those who shared IN his
illegal profits and were hoping thus to pur-
chase his silence There was no reason why he
should not be treated as other men are who are
accused Of grave crimcS. Now he Is in fair
way to be so treated. The naIrowncss and
barrcnncss of a common cell in The Tombs will
bring to him n sense OF the position in which he
stands. This could not be while he was guest
or the Sheriff and was treated as if he were in n
hotel.

community for committing his prisoner TO the
Tombs There Ward will get fotetastc of

phaticaly 90 to his own place. No sympathy
will be wasted upon him. Even if the present
trial fails-as it certainly should not-thc day
of punishment for Ward will only be post

Ward is entitled to n fair trial There is no
