That Dr. CRONIN was murdered there
can no longer be any doubt There is
room for little doubt that his murder was
the outcome Of political conspiracy.
CEoNlN had publicly and frequently ac-
cused officials Of the Clan-na-Gael Society
of misusing funds subscribed to further the
cause of the Irish Nationalist. The men
he accused had threatened bis life, and
there are urgent reasons for believing that
this fearful crime was the sequel

CR0NIN's murder is shown 20 be politi-
cal crime Irsland's sacred cause will be the

emies of PARNELL and Irish Home Rule,
would desire nothing more than the as-
tening of this crime upon the friends Of
the Irish Nationalist. 10 would be a

UNAssIMILATING ALIENS.

The article on "The Transformation of
New England" in the last number of the
Forum is possibly pessimistic with regard
10 the displacement of the American ele-
ment in New England by the French Cana
dian. Yet it must be admitted that the
overflow from Canada of a population which
is most persistent in refusing to assimilate
with this country. and in retaining its for
eign language and foreign customs, is a SUBJ
ject which can only be viewed with grave
apprehensions. An indication Of the posi-
tion of the French Canadians in this coun-
try is afforded by call for a convention of
the members of that race residing in Massa-
chusetts and Rhode Island. The stated OBJ
ject of the convention is to consider the
measures which are to be taken for the pre-
vention of the assimilation of the French
Canadians with the people of the United
States, and the preservation and propaga-
tion OF their language and customs. When
such purposes are publicly avowed, it be-
gins to be time to consider whether the
United States should not take the public
position that additions to its population
which refuse to become an integral part of
this nation are not wanted in this country.

cANADA,s SEPARATION FROM ENGLAND

The news that some of the Canadians are
so angered over the course of England in
failing to quarrel with the United States for
the seizure of the Canadian sealers, is a
novel conviction of the long-standing e1-
pectation that Canada would separate from
England and unite with this country. The
separation seems nearer than'ever; but it is
not of character that tends toward union
with our Government.
The fact that the Canadians wish to abjure
English supremacy in order to secure a
greater liberty of quarreling with the United
States promises near and inimical neigh
Dor rather than a peaceful union. In this
connection it is pertinent to remark that a
policy on our part which makes enemies Of
the Canadians could hardly be expected to
pave the way to friendly incorporation of
the two nations into one. Yet it is
a singular fact that the element in
cur press and politics that talks the most
of securing the annexation of Canada is ex-
actly the one that has given the most sup
port to the policy of Irritating and antagon-
izing the Canadian people.
Irrespective of the justice or reason of
our highly divergent claims on the Atlantic
and Pacific, it is worth while to remember
that the best way to prejudice the Canadians
in our favor is not to tread on their toes on
both sides Of the continent at once.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
PITTsBURG. WEDNESDAY, AUG. q. 1855
THE DEMOCRATIC EXAMPLE.

The principal features of the Democratic
County Convention, yesterday, were what
had been conceded in advance, the indorse-
of r. H. Johnston for District Attorney.
The fact that this action has been fore
gone conclusion for some time does not pre-
clude the recognition of its significance
when formally taken.
In this action upon the nominations for
Judge and District Attorney the Demo-
cratic organization has lifted itself above
the level of partisanship and placed itself
upon the plane of integrity, cleanness and
ability in the administration OF justice. 1t
has shown equal unanimity in indorsing
the reelection of a Republican judge who
has demonstrated the possession of those
qualities, and the nomination of Demo-
crat for District Attorney, whose private
character is clean and whose public record
is not smirched by scandal. The readiness
to disregard party lines for the sake of sup
porting the best qualities in the machinery
of justice is not usual in political conven-
tions; and while the party machinery of the
Republicans can hardly be expected to meet
the Democrats half way, it is more than
likely that great many of the Republicans
will do so, in their individual rather than
party capacity.
1t is certainly an encouraging sign when
even a minority party obIiterates party lines
in its support of the best qualities in the
courts. The example is not likely to belost
on the majority of the public.

CONSOLIDATION IN THE COKE INDUSTRY

The statement that the II. G. Frick Coke
Company has purchased the coke properties
OF the j. w. Moore company, which gives
the purchaser total ownership of 1000 out
of the 1000 ovens in the Connellsville
region, draws renewed attention to the
change thst has been going on from the time
when the coke industry was divided
among thirty or forty different firms to the
present one when it is practically divided
among four or five, and the majority of the
industry is owned by single one.
OF the causes which have produced this
remarkable concentration of the coke trade
into few powerful hands it is perhaps
unnecessary to speak. While the operation
indicates the tendency in the direction of a
single control of that industry, it is fact
that the latter consummation is still long
way of. New fields both to the north and
south of the Connellsville district are COM
ing into operation. and competition will
still have its influence in fixing the price of
that staple, as well as the wages paid in its
manufacture.
1t is rather suggestive to see it announced
in connection with this purchase that the
price of coke for the past year has been
below the cost of production. As there are
no commercial reasons for the prolonged
sale of any staple at less than cost, that
assertion contains an intimation that there
may be mutual interdependence between
the sales of coke at that price and the sales
of coke property.

HIS COLOR AGAINST HIM.
Fred Douglass Nos Wanted in Hayti as
Minister There.

Fred Douglass Nos Wanted in Hayti ms
Minister There.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.l
NEW YORK, August Z.-The possibility that
Mr.. Fred Douglass may not be sent as Minister
to Hayti after all pleases many of the New
York merchants interested in the Haytian
trade. The principal avowed objection to Mr..
Douglass seems I'd be that he is a colored man,
and that the Haytian negroes have less respect
for a negro than they have for a whiteman.
The lighter the negro is in color the lower he
sinks in the estimation of the native Haytian.
A prominent representative of q New York
house doing business with Hayti. said: 'I
certainly hope that Mr.. Douglass will not be
sent to Hayti."
"He is not at all skilled as a diplomat, and is
not even practical business man. Besides, he
does not speak French, and is a man of narrow
views at best But even without these disad-
vantages under which he labors, the fact that
he is colored man makes some other selec-
tion advisable. The Haytians have no respect
for a negro, and it is time we stopped sending
colored men to represent us there. What the
United States wants in Hayti is a white man of
ability, who will inspire respect and really have
control of our interests at the Haytian capital
We have a splendid chance just now to effect
this by sending the proper man, and hope the
Other merchants expressed similar views as
to the disadvantage of having colored repre-
sentative at Port-au-Prince. Minister Preston
is in favor of Mr.. Douglass, and points to the
fact that Mr.. Reid, who has been sent to
France, does not speak French, and that Mr..
American Ministers to Hayti, were both
colored men. What the United States wants
in Hayti," said Minister Preston, emphatically
sis an honest man who cannot be bought"

founder of Asbury Park, who from having
has concluded, by reason Of his own exper-
fence, that high license is more likely to be
effective In checking the evils of drunken
ness than prohibition can be. He bases
this conviction upon the fact that even at
Asbury Park he has not been able to sup
press the illicit liquor traffic. Thence he
arrives at the conclusion which a great
many other sincere temperance men adopted
long ago, that utter prohibition being i'm
practicable strict regulation must be ac-
cepted as the best that is attainable. To
offset this, we have the opinion of the De-
troit Free Press based upon the experience
of Pittsburg with its speak-easies that high
license is a failure, and that free rum is
more triumphant under the system prevail
ing here than ever before. This will give
to most Pittsburgers q new reading of
the old adage about going away from home
to learn the news.
Another idea of the liquor question is
that advanced by the Philadelphia Record
in answer to Judge Agnew's recent letter
arguing that there is no constitutional OBJ
stacle in the way of passing local option
law for Pennsylvania. Our Philadelphia
contemporary comedies the Judges legal
authority, but opposes his conclusion on
the ground that she has utterly failed to
comprehend the meaning of the great pop
ular verdict of Pennsylvania on the 18th Of
June" But the fact that the Record con-
strues this verdict to forbid the enactment OF
local option, or the privilege of each
county to establish prohibition if the peo-
pie so vote, indicates that the failure to
comprehend that verdict is not on the side
of Judge Agnew. The vote was upon one
question, simply, whether the sale and man
ufacture of liquors should be prohibited
throughout the entire State, without regard
to the settlement of local option.
Actual prohibition is one thing; local OPP
tion is an entirely distinct measure. The
fact that one has been defeated affords no
legitimate obstacle to agitation in favor of
the other upon its merits.

THE G. A. r. REUNION.

The first day of the G. A. R. reunion at
Milwaukee, notwithstanding the unfavor-
able indications which have preceded its
assembling, appears from the reports to have
been largely attended and enthusiastic. The
parade, reunions and campfres, which COM
prised the proceedings were imposing, and
indicated at once the warmth with which the
old soldiers greeted each other and the pub
lie appreciation and honors paid to the vet
Grams. The first day has been given over to
parades, enthusiasm and sentiment; the
business meetings, which will follow, will
be more important as showing the attitude
of the Grand Army on the pending ques-
tions in which it is interested Conservatism
and moderation on these issues will be as
beneficial for the Grand Army as for the rest
of the nation.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-08-28
THE USE OF ExposITIoNs.

The assertion of Mr. Edward Atkinson,
with regard to the Philadelphia Centennial,
that its principal result was In affording
new ideas with regard to the internal de-
coration of houses, is principally valuable
in showing how little comprehension Mr..
Atkinson has of the result of the exposition
of thirteen years ago.
The fact is that large share of the new
ideas and improvements which have been
perfected during the last decade, received
their primary impetus from the exposition.
How largely the introduction of improve
ments and inventions extended into every
branch of industry cannot, of course, be in
indicated here. The newspaper interest in
the United States knows that the possibili-
ties of improved presses, which multiplied
the capability of rapid printing by an al
most indefinite factor, was first illustrated
there. The beginning of the electrical age and
the first telephones were brought to public
notice at the Centennial; and the capabili-
ties of vast and powerful machinery, as de-
licate as it was colossal, were also displayed
to the hundreds and thousands who visited
that great show.
When enterprising manufacturers make
use of such expositions to show what can be
effected in their lines of enterprise,
thhy. can hardly fail of having re-
suits beyond the power of computation.
That is good principle for the managers
of our local Exposition, as well as those of
the National projects, to bear in mind.
