ATLANTA, May 20,-The Commercial
convention met to-day, with Sol dele
gates present from 90 states. Speeches
of welcome were delivered by Helyer
and Henry w. Gray, of the Constitu-
tuition; Gen. Brinkeroff, of Ohio,a DR..
james, of New York. w. Il. Miles,
oil Columbus, Ohio, was selected as tenn
porsry chairman, and Mark Harden
and Ii. IL. Csbinisg, both of Georgia,
we're elected secretaries. A permanent
organization was effected by the cleo
ton of Hon p. o. Parsons, az Detroit, as
president, and vice president from
each state represented. Gen. Lawton,
who was to have read u paper on recip.
rocity treaties, was not present, and bis
place was filed by William Burwelj, OF
Louisiana. A long discussion followed.
The commercial convention passed a
resolution offered by Mr.. trenholm, OF
South Carolina, that it is the duty OF
congress TO pass, as speedily as possible,
laws for reciprocity with all foreign ma
tiOus and the Lowell bankrupt bill as
now under consideration.
Mr.. Waldo Smith, of New York, de-
livered long speech i'll its favor.
In the National Commercial cOnven-
ton Burwel.'s paper on reciprocity in
trade created q lively running debate,
which was renewed with v!gor on le-
cOnv eniug IN the evening.
Mr.. Hirb OF Virginia, and M. .Vinton,
OF Indiana, opposed reciprocity,
on the sroupd that they losi3red special
and individual interests.
Mr.. McClury, Of Ohio, sa q there was
no such thing as raw matcn7l Al, neither
was fH,Ta over production. Rec rc.t?
lrgaLia ought " he avoided, ecause
they ripplfd ma iural tr dc.
MIR. DoereH, If Kentucky, said Eng
land, having failed 1T reciprocity, was
now trying conquest, as witness the
wars in EaYgt, hIch we're all to conquer
trade and 10 imposa English goods upon
those who would not otherwise have
them. Germany is resorting to conquer
and protection. We are trying to &c
other nations to take our goods without
our accepting any Of theirs in exchange,
which of course keeps our goods at
home and gives rise to the cry OF "over
production"
The subject was here dropped aud the
question considered. "Does the public
interest require the enactment by con-
gress of uniform bankrupt law"
s. Dana Horton, of Ohio, the delegate
of the United States to the Interna,
tional monetary conference OF 1878 anc
1881, next sustained the affirmation OF
the resolution looking to the stoppage
of the coinage of silver.
Mr.. Hankey, of Colorado, took issue
with Horton. not as to principles, but
as TO methods, He spoke ON the sub
iect for half an hour aud the convention
took a recess.
In the evening session G. G.. Sims,
member of congress from Colorado, took
up the discussion as to the suspension
OF silver coinage, which he opposed.
The convention here suspended further
discussion on silver questions TO hear
Gen. JehR B. Gordon discuss the sub
ject, nDoes publ interest require ma
tional control of railway transporta-
tion?" Gen. Gordon took the aflirma-
tive.

LIGHT BREAKING ON IRELAND.

The dream of Ireland has been for
long ears a government for local al
fairs, controlled by local sentiment. Be
fore the British parliament is bill now
nending for local government for
Ireland, and the hopes Of hundreds OF
thousands OF Irishmen were pinned
thereto. 1t was the first light that had
broken on the benighted isle for many
a day, and the suffering sons of Erin
had expected great things thereirom
In his forecast of the future work of the
present parliament, the other day, Mr..
GLADSTONE announced that this bill
would have to go over, together with
some other matters of general concern,
and the regret will be General that this
matter Of common justice 70 Ireland has
been again postponed by the English
government.
Ireland has fought long and waited
long for an honest recognition Of her
rights. In the vanguard of British
armies the Irish soldier has done always
more than his duty, while the
bulk Of the people at home
have for $50 years kissed
the hand that smote them. They de-
serve better than they have been given,
and not to act with liberality and lem
iency toward the Emerald Isle is TO
neglect one OF the first dictates of wise
and Just governm ent.
But the present premier and parlia-
ment are not without soma credit in the
premises. As far as GLADSTONE could
be liberal he has been, and during his
of office many reforms
have been inaugurated, the beneficial
results of which have been felt in Ire
land. In the announcements referred
10, while stating the fact that the local
government bill would not be consid-
cred before adjournment, lie stated also
The abandonment by the government of
he clauses in the new coercion act,
the suppression Of meet.

OUR Honey Grove paper, tho Inde-
pendent, propounds the question, sis it
right for newspapers to publish saloon
advertisements i'll their coiumnsW to
which the Simeon, of the same place,
replies in the Yankee fashion of asking
another questions. Itsays: Sis it right for
man to stand behind the bar and sell
whisky? The cases are identical" Let
us see by continuing this illustration of
contributory sin. Is it right for ths ice
man TO sci! q saloonist ice? Is itright for
O. property owner to rent him a house?
Is it proper for queensware man to sell
him glasses? Is it right for Christian
collector to give him receipt for his
occupation tax? Is it right for achurch
member to ask and receive of Mr.. Sa-
loonist money which no knows comes
from the proceeds of his whisky traffic?
Is it proper for the painter to paint him
sign? Is 1t right tor merchant to sell
him the lineu for his bar aprous and
napkins? is it right for florist to sell
him the flowers that decorate his coun-
ters; and, finally, is it better to recog-
nize as q business what the law recog-
nizes as such, or would it DO better to
set up q little internal wheel-within-a
wheel government for yourself? The
receipts from saloon occupation tax
saye something to every taxpayer.
Was ever man SO pious as to refuse TO
accept the saving?

the Old Testament, even considering
the long time in which they were en-
