RILL THE HOPEFUL.
New York's Governor Laying Pipes for the
United States sennte.


SPECIAL TELysKAM TO THE DIsPArcH.1
NEW YORK, August 7.-lt has surprised 4
good many Democratic politicians recently
that Governor Hill should express SO much
confidence that the Democrats can elect ma
jority in the next State Senate. He has been
urging upon them repeatedly the advisability
of making hard fight for the upper legisla-
tive branch, and has puzzled them repeatedly
by his extreme hopefulness.
The explanation of this optimism came to-
day from one of Hills closest political friends.
He SAID that Hill himself desires to succeed
Senator Evarts in the United Senate, and in
tends to do his best to secure the election of
Democratic State Senate next autumn. The
Senate which is elected then will take part in
the election of the United States Senator in
1891. Should the Democrats elect the majority
they will make every effort to carry the Assem-
bly, in the succeeding autumn, and, IL success
full, will be able to elect a United States Sena-
tor.
1t has been generally supposed that HIPS
ambition lays in the direction OF the Presi-
dency. This latest disclosure, however, 4 no
indication that so lofty an ambition has been
abandoned; but it is considered another evil
dence that Hill is determined to secure the
Democratic nomination in 1892.
His friends believe that this is the Governors
shrewdest policy. His term as Governor would
expire in 1892. six months before the meeting of
the Democratic National Convention. He would
hardly have assurance enough TO ask his party
for a third nomination as Governor, and II he is
out of Office six months before the meeting of
the national nominating convention, he will be
powerless, probably, to secure the support of
the State delegation. If he is elected to the
Senate, however, he will still be before the
country as statesman and politician and will
be in a much better position to push his canvass
for the Presidential nomination than he would
be as private citizen.

THE QUESTION OF ENFORCEMENT.

In referring to the Michigan antitrust
law, providing that all contracts or agree
ments intended to restrict production of any
sort or to control the price of any commo-
dity shall be regarded as criminal conspir-
acy, and be punished Uy Imprisonment,
an exchange says: "Other States will watch
the operation OF this drastic remedy with
a great deal of interest"
The interest with which the operation of
the law is watched should depend very
much on whether any sincere attempt is
made to enforce it or not If man buys a
large dose of salts and puts it on a shelf
without taking it, it would be rather silly to
talk of watching ''the operation ofthat dras-
tic remedy" A law against murder will
do no good unless decent attempt is made
to'infict its penalty on people who commit
murder.
The prospect is that this principle is at
stake in Michigan. One of the most prom
inent citizens of that State has within the
past few months advertised himself as at
the head OF combination to restrict produc-
tion and control the price OF a staple COM
modify; and yet nothing is heard OF for his
punishment. This does not imply any
fault in the law. The fault is in the public
and in the fact that all public agencies sup
posed to be for enforcement of the law, are
90 respectful to wealth and influence that
man with millions behind him can defy and

AN UNNECESSARY DECISION.

One of the singular ideas created in fnan-
cial circles by the rule of the combination
period, is exemplifed by an assertion in the
financial column of an Eastern cotemporary
that it had been decided "that there is no
law of the United States, in the courts or
Interstate Commerce Commission, to compel
one railroad to enter into a convention as to
rates with a competing line. Inferentially
the same reason would apply to dividing
traffic" The fact being that such agree
ments have been declared, time and again,
by the courts to be contrary to public policy
and beyond the powers of any corporation,
the intimation that it required decision to
assert the power of corporation to conduct
its own business is somewhat remarkable.
As it seems to be regarded as necessary to
have it decided that a railroad cannot be
compelled to give away its own business,
the next thing will be the necessity of a
formal declaration by the courts that the
officers of a railroad need not commit the
egregious breach of trust comprised in
giving away the earnings of railroad to its
rivals
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1889-08-08
A SECTIONAL IDEA.

The movement of New England iron man
ufacturers in favor of putting pigiron, ore,
coal and other raw materials in
the iron business on the protected
lists,is supported by the assertion that
"within the past ten years, so per cent of the
rolling mills of Maine have disappeared,
100 per cent OF those of Vermont, &c per
cent of those of Massachusetts and 80 per
cent of those of Rhode Island" and that
'iron and steel beams, water pipes, gas
pipes. etc., used in New England are
bought in Pennsylvania"
The sum total of this complaint, then, is
that the effect of protection has been to To-
cate the industries in the localities where
the products can be brought to completed
form at the lowest price. The consumers
have obtained the benefit of this cheapness.
No trust theories, of sustaining manufactur-
Ing concerns in idleness because they can
not afford to compete with the most i'm
proved and best located mills, has pre-
vented the cheapness of the most favorably
located plants from resching'th consumers.
The trouble with the New England manu-
facturers is that they cannot make iron and
steel as cheaply as Pennsylvania can. and
the legitimate worth of protection is shown
in developing the industry at that point
within the boundaries of the United States
where 1t can be carried forward the most
economically.
Protection for the benefit of the industries
of the entire nation is national policy; but
when we find single locality asserting that
protection must be adhered to so long as it
is for its interest, and abandoned where it is
not, the policy is degraded from the lbroad
national character to an extremely narrow
sectional one.

were received at the Mayors Office to-day,
about the International Exposition of 1892 Mr..

Ohio. At the top the hanger represents our
buildings. The building in the foreground is
composed of brick, stone and terra Gotta trim

Machinery Hall. AS New York is somewhat in
terested in the Exposition project desire es-

could be readily taken down and moved. Every

PLENTY OF PEOPLE FOR ALASKA.
Senator Platt at Work on the Iceland Colo
nizing Scheme.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPArcH.1
WASHINGTON, August 7.-Senator Platt,
Chairman of the Committee on Territories,
and who is now making his special examina-
ton into the condition Of Alaska, is promoting
an Icelandic movement. intending to settle the
fertile and heavily-wooded region of the Yukon
river with large colony from Iceland. The
idea is ultimately to take over to the territory
the whole population Of the island, one of the
most thrifty. sturdy and intelligent in the
world. There are on the island about q, 600
souls. The area of cultivable land Is yearly
growing less, owing to the increase of volcanic
matter scattered over the plains and valleys. The
people of Iceland are said to be anxious to re-
move to some cold country where the soil and
other advantages are superior to those to be
found in their present possession. On the
Yukon they will find these. Wood Is abundant,
and the cereals can be raised, as the summers
are longer than those in Iceland.
The population OF Iceland, which once at
tanned to 100000, dropped to 10000, but has
since risen to nearly $4,000 An Icelandic
minister is operating with Senator Platt in the
undertaking. No other particulars are now
available. The consent of the Alsthing, or
lcelandic Assembly, and the appreciation of
the Danish Government will have to be OBJ
tanned, probably, If the movement as con-
templated becomes a general one.
