The National nonrd of rrndc.

This organization, whose sixteenth au-
nual session began in this city on Wednes-
day last, is an association whose delibera-
tions command profound respect, not
merely In the business world, but in legls-
lative bodies and throughout the entire
structure Of American society. For the
great interests which this association rep
resent lie at the foundation of national aud
individual prosperity; they reach every
citizen and affect the homes and lives and
fortunes Of all the people.
One reason why the deliberations Of this
body are watched with interest and its con-
clusions treated with respect is found in
the high character Of its membership. In
telligence and integrity must be the pos
sessions Of the business man who attains
such standing in his own community as to
lie a delegate to the National Board OF
Trade.
II is not to be assumed that local interests
have nothing to do with the conclusions of
this body. Its members are keenly alive to
the special interests of their own localities,
as is entirely proper. But IL may be as
humCu, WIN lull COlUueuCC, luaJ u uuS no
sinister objects, aud that 1t never seeks TO at
tain an end by unworthy means. There is
no attainment which is guarded with greater
care than commercial honor. When this
organization recommends any line Of action
to Congress its motives arc above suspicion.
Its judgment may not be accepted as final,
but its honesty is not questioned.
The first step in the direction Of organ
izing the great business interests of the
United States under common head was
the national convention of boards of trade
and other commercial organizations held In
Boston in. 1868. That was memorable oc-
casion, and from it the most benoilcent re-
suits have flowed. A year or two later the
National Board of Trade was formed, with
Mr.. Frederick Fraley, of Philadelphia, as
president, to which place he has been an
nually elected ever since that time, and
will continue to be so long as his useful
and honorable life is spared He is one OF
the few men who can afford to dispense
with eulogies, for his name inevitably sug-
gests such commendation as his modesty
would shrink from hearing.

At least one great int ernational event of
the current week has escaped such general
attention from the press of the United
States as its Importance demands. We
refer to the departure from this beautiful
capital and from the hospitable shores of
this great republic Of Sonor Don Manuel
del Campo, late secretary In charge of the
Chilian legation.
1t is but simple justice to the talents Of
senor Del Campo to say that, during his
official residence in Washington, he at
tracted more attention than any other mem
ber of the diplomatic corps. Although the
country which he represented of which
for some time he was the sole representa-
tive, and whose representation his exit has
eXtinguished-is surpassed in some ele-
meats Of greatness by a few other countries;
and although there were diplomatists Of
greater experience In other legations here
simultaneously with him, not one Of them
attracted, or seemed to care to attract, the
notice which the press and the people be-
slowed upon Del Campo.
During the existence of our republic
many distinguished diplomatic represent
atiyes have taken their departure regretted
by all who had enjoyed official or personal
relations with them; but the senior mem
ber ofthe Oldest Inhabitants Society vainly
tries to recall any such exit which has left
in the city Of Washington so deep and wide
q sense Of goneness as has resulted from the
valedicion Of Del Campo.
II those gallant officers Of Chil's inyinci-
ble navy who, a few months ago, were
talking Of loOting San Francisco could
have realizing sense of the length
breadth, and thickness OF the loss inflicted
on this capital by Del Campo's withdrawal,
even their obdurate souls would be so
melted that they would not have the heart to
fire agun at our Tallapoosa II, in her reckless,
mad career, she should poke her bowsprlt
through their ablest irOnclad.
There is n melancholy hush in the saloons
where broken bottles and fractured funi-
ture were wont, in other days, TO attest the
proves of Del Campo.
The police force finds its sphere Of use
fulness curtailed, "and all the air solemn
stiffness holds" now that Del Campo has re-

The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN asks an at-
tentive pcrusal of a communication headed
"Justice to Japan" printed in this issue.
II there be any one nation on the globe in
which the people of this country should
have a deeper interest than in any other, It
is the japanese. They have been our con-
sistent and true friends for many years,
and have shown their respect for aud conf
dcnce in our people and institutions in
almost innumerable ways. They have been
ready and willing to learn from us, and we,
with all our boosted Christian civilization,
could learn many useful lessons from them.
A great element of the superiority Of most Of
the Christian nations to the Japanese resides

and land-in other words, the art of killing.

On the Goth instant Lord Harrington was
waited ON by the deputation Of Irish "loyal-
istsn from Ulster who oppose home rule
and demand protection for minority rule.
They were Informed that Mr. Gladstone
would not give them audience or say any
thing concerning Ireland until the govern
ment should have declared It's policy. But
the dcputation was advised by Lord Hart
ington to "do their utmost to enlist the
sympathy of the English people in their
cause" These "loyaistsn are the same who
opposed Catholic emancipation in 1899, and
the disestablishment Of the Irish church in
