WARREN FOR MAYOR.
The Republican City Convention Dc
Some Hasty Work.
The Democrats Nominate candi
dates for City Council.
City Convention of the Party Meet
This Afternoon.

Ats o'clock yesterday afternoon the
City Hall was fairly filed with Republi-
cans and Democrats who were anxious to
witness the proceedings and final action
Of the Republican City Convention.
Shortly after 8 o'clock the various dele
gates began to arrive, but there seemed
to be a hitch somewhere, There was con-
siderable private button-holing and not a
little running in and out on mysterious
errands.
By halfpast 3o'clock a majority of the
delegates were present and at $40 o'clock
the meeting was called to order, Messrs.
Scriber and Potter being absent.
Mr.. Bergman suggested hat the con-
v%ention proceed to business. Mr.. G. W.
Riner thereupon arose and nominated f.
4. Warren as the candidate for Mayor.
Mr.. Bergman blandly asked if any other
nominations were held in reserve, Mr.. J..
w. Hammond said he thought there
were none, and did not believe any ballot
would be necessary. whereupon Mr.. J. X.
Jeffrey moved that the nomination be
made unanimous. The motionwas carried,
two delegates voting in the affirmative,
and 10 negative votes being heard.
Mr.. Bergman was anxious that the city
committee be selected. Some inquiry re-
garding the personnel Of the committee
was made and Mr.. Bergman read from
Tur Iraprp fba ror.c, r. IL. -
ward committees. He stated that the
sentiments of the members of the com
mittee should be ascertained, TO the end
that If any member was not in accord with
the action Of the convention, such mem
Der might be taken from the committee,
and someone substituted in his place.
The city committee was given authority
to gil all vacancies either in the ward
tickets or in its own membership, and
Messrs- George w. Hoyt and Isaac Berg
man were appointed to notify Mr.. Warren
o his nomination. MI. Bergman wanted
Mr.. Riner appointed a member Of the
committee to notify Mr.. Warren because
he had already waited upon that gentle
man."
The above proceedings occupied some.
thing like five minutes and then the real
business OF the convention began in. earn
est. Mr.. Hammond called attention to
the fact that there was a surplus of candi-
dates in the Third Ward, and Mr.. Berg
man again bobbed mn in search Of infor-
nation. He wanted to know which of the
two meetings held at the City Hall should
be endorsed, and which of the candidates
should be covered with the mantle Of Re-
publican approval. Mr.. jeffrey consid-
cred both meetings irregular, but did not
want to interfere. A long wrangle ensued,
Messrs. Bergman, Riner, Jeffrey, Ham
mond and Hoyts taking part. The his
tory 0 the meetings and their action were
reviewed at length, but as the public is

Cincinnati,

BY Associated LABOR freSS.
CINCINNATI, April T. There is some
noticeable activity in various sections Of this
city at present that did not exist week ago.
The custom Boot and Shoe Makers union
here has been making preparations for the
anticipated brisk season in that trade, and re-
Gently resolved to work with no persons who
did not hold membership in their Organiza-
tion. They made the facts known to the
manufacturers and have experienced no
trouble in consequence, as those who were
not members are sending in their PROPOSE
tions without delay.
The iron industries are in better condition
than at last report. The stove fOundries are
all in operation, though not employing the
number of molders they did before the lock-
out. The prospects, however, are good for an
early employment of full forces in the vari-
GUS establishments. Machinery molding is
also improving with some of the shops ap-
parently as active as ever, while others are
running with reduced number of molders.
The rolling mills, too, are all in operation,
but on two-thirds time only. This state Of
affairs will continue till June l, after which
time there is no knowing whether there will
be general close down or not.
The members of the building trades wear
a smile, in anticipation of early employment.
The printing business apparently does not
improve, and the same can be said of all
trades not mentioned above.
The House Painters union of this city has
added beneficial feature to its constitution.
This has had the effect of adding greatly to
the numerical strength of the organization

Population tends to increase taste
than the means of subsistence increases.
Mankind has always subsisted upor
animal and vegetable food. The plant
and animals that are used for food in
crease, under cultivation, faster than tht
human race, or faster than any possible
requirements. t 5a3
Farmers raise more than enough fol
the world, yet all the land is not farmed
nor are all the people engaged in farm,
ing who might be so engaged. Popula'
tion is not "limited by the means of sub
sistence," but it islimited by restricted
access to the means of subsistence.
Population is not, and never was, kept
on level with the means of subsistence,
by moral restraint, vice, misery nor any
other cause, for population has never
reached the limit Of subsistence.
The rate of wages does not depend
upon the standard of living adopted
by the laborer," but the standpoint OF
Lying depends upon the rate Of wages.
The laborer has not now, and never
had, the power; to fix his standard
of living. Behold the phenomenal
consistency of Mr.. Bell when he adds
to the proposition last referred
to: "That should the demand for
labor be augmented by some unusual
cause and wages therefore rse." proving
against himself that wages depends upon
a demand instead of standard of living.
Would the laborer's standard of living
remain as fixed by himself after demand
had raised his wages?
Mr.. Bells four propositions cannot
possibly be true. If they are, agitation
of the industrial question may as well
cease at once; Anarchists can stop talk
ing about dynamite; THE ENQUIRER
might as we'll lapse and save the editors
brain fbres let nature continue to
create people and make no provision
for them except vice and misery.
Gould and company may 60 on claim
ing the earth, for it is lack of moral re-
straint," not monopoly that causes starva-
ton.
The fallacy is apparent. The limit of
subsistence is the surface of the earth.
When every acre is made to bear the
full limit of its capacity, then we may
think of over-population. Mr.. Bell,
bring on the remainder OF your 80
called economic propositions" which
you promised, and be sure and name the
price per proposition.
I am skeptical about Mr. Boyd's rem
edy, not having seen it, therefore l direct
that the $4,000 due me as the refuter of
Mr.. Bells propositions. be paid to the
editor of The ENQUIRER, and that the
fund be used to send his paper to those
persons who have read no writers on
political economy except old grannies
like Malthus and other imbeciles.

in the Pittsburg district continues without

request to the Ohio miners to join them in
the movement for better wages. President

you that our affairs are such that we cannot
select a committee to meet yours. This
would be out of the question just now.

Alaska as a Penal Colony.

For The Enquirer.
The New York Sun mentions with
approval suggestion made by the Jack
son Advertiser of Michigan, that we es-
tablish penal colony in Alaska, to
which both men and women should be
sent with the privilege of marrying.
The Sun calls the Advertiser progress
sive" sheet.
If foresight and providence are, as is
claimed, the distinguishing uqalities OF
modern progress, it is difficult to see how
the Advertiser is entitled to this qualify
ing adjective. Shall our civilization
confess itself so incompetent to deal with
the criminals it breeds that 1t can do
nothing better than return to the
methods which on all hands have been
acknowledged wrong7 Is not Siberia a
reproach even to the ever cruel Russia
Could there be found more sure way
of increasing criminals than that of ban
ish1ng them from the rest of mankind
and then providing brace of convicts
for the parents of every child?
Those who have noted the evidences
of the increasing moral education of the
race, must have been struck with the
growing feeling of responsibility with
which society regards its criminals
They are here with us and are part Of
us, whether we recognize that fact OF
not and it is a cowardly shirking of oul
duty to seek to rid ourselves of them
land an evidence of folly to suppose thai
by merely getting them out of our sight
wehave freed ourselves of al response

Indpe Wellford,s Decision.

An act Of Congress provides that the
practice, pleadings, and forms and modes
Of proceeding in civil causes other than
equity and admiralty causes in the cir
cult and district courts Of the United
States shall conform AZ near as may be
to the practice, pleadings, and forms
and modes of proceeding existing ct the
time in like causes in the courts OF
record of the State within which such
circuit and district courts are held, any
rule of court to the contrary notwith-
standing.
IL is clear, therefore, that if the case
of Cho6is rs. Taylor had been sent
back TO the Circuit Court Of the United
States instead Of to Judge WELL
PoRp's court, Judge BOND wsuld have
been compelled Tor it would have been
his duty at any rste--we don't know
rs TO the rest to follow the practice,
pleadings, and forms and modes of pro-
ceeding Of the Virginia courts Of re-
cord, Of which Judge WELLFoRD's
court is one. Judge WEXFORD does
not have TO conform to the practice in
the Federal courts, but the Federal
courts have to conform to the practice
in the Virginia courts of record.
Now, then, ifthe case Of ChdNn vs.
TAYLOR had been sent back to Judge
wELLroRD's court from the Supreme
Court of Appeals of Virginia instead of
from the Supreme Court Of the United
States, Judge WEXFORD would have
had the right to admit Mr.. THoMAs's
plea in trying the case second time.
Consequently, he had the right to ad-
nit it when, as was the fact in ChaHa
rs. Taylor, the case was sent direct to
his court from the Supreme Court of
the United States. q. E. ID.

SAN FRANCISCO, May Ex-senator
John Sherman is visiting this city. He
was rendered a public reception this
afternoon by the members Of the Cham
Der Of Commerce, Board Of Trade, and
Manufacturers Association. In reply
ing TO the address Of welcome Senator
Sherman touched on the silver ques-
ton. He said: 1--WE want o certain
adjustment between silver and gold
that both these metals may be coined
free that they may be deposited in
the United States Treasury in exchange
for money certificates, and both be so
adjusted that they may travel all over
the world, equal TO each other in every
land. To accomplish this silver must be
purchased. coined, and paid out at mar
kct rates, or received on deposit at mar
ket rates and paper money issued for
it. This will give bimetallic money
good not only in San Francisco, but in
New York, London, and all other parts
Of the world"
"Coined free." That's the mstto.
Gold is coined free-that is to say,
every man can take all the gold he can
mine to the mint and have it coined
into money; whereas nobody but the
Government is allowed to have silver
coined. The Director Of the Mint est.
mates that on the LIST Of October, 1884,
of the currency in the United States,
s6l0, 100000 was gold and only s262,'

"Taken for Confessed"

Whose fault was it that Judge BOND

order in his court that "the matter OF
the bill be taken for confessed" ?-that
is. in the case Of STEWART, &c. What
was the "mattcr Of the bill " that was
thus allowed TO pass as true?
There is another fact that may be
"takcn for confessed" and this is that
the suit in question was really against
the State of Virginia, although the
Constitution Of the United States
declares in the most explicit terms
that 1.-THE judicial power of the
United States shall not be construed
10 extend to any suit in law or equity
commenced or prosecuted against one
of the United States by citizens Of
another State, or by citizens Of any
foreign State" Judge BoND's order
says:
"And the court being Of opinion thai
the complainant paid his tax due to the
State of Virginia by the tender Of The
coupons and money described in the
BILL" &c.
"The State Of Virginia" it is thus
openly confessed, was the party in in
terest in the suit.
What ought to be done in these cases
Is the Commonwealth to go on foreve
coniessingjudgment'-for this is in eifec
what we understand Judge BoSD Il
mean by using in the above order tn
usual technical words, " taken for con
fessed."
The reader will recollect that in tn
case Of AileS rs. The Baltimore an
Ohio Railroad Company, Mr.. Justic'
MATTHEWS said:
= alt is admitted by the parties in th
record that the coupons rendered al
