A July CONVENTION.

Ostensibly. the date fixed for the Re-
publican state convention was COM
promise between the June and Septem-
Der men, but it does not need the aid of
a microscope to see that the real purpose
of the committee was to fix upon a time
when the farmers would have the least
show for participating in the primaries.
OF all the seasons Of the year, moro
nconvenient one for the farmers could
not have been chosen. 1t is right in
the midst of the haying season and the
time for working corn, and just on the
eve of the grain harvest, when the farm
ers are the busiest. 1t is at a season
when farmer cannot afford to quit his
work to attend political caucuseS unless
he is well paid for his time. And this
is possibly the controlling reason for fix
ing the July date. The bosses W no eX-
pect to control the convention want
purchasabIe material.
There was a current impression yes
terday, and apparently well founded,
that certain members of the committee
who had been advocating late conyen-
ton were doing il in the interest Of the
early convention advocates. That is,
they were purposelv putting themselves
in position to bring about a compro-
mise on the July date, which had all
along been agreed upon by the bosses
as the fittest time for their purposes;
and thus an appearance of harmony
was presented in accomplishing the
very object that had been originally
contemplated by the early convention
advocates.
By admitting the necessity for four
months campaign, the Republican lead
ers have confessed the weakness of their
cause. 1t is confession that they have
a stumpy row to hoe, and want plenty
Of time. They have a great many things
to explain away, and there has got to be
an immense amount of jugglery done to
keep the Republican voters in line.
1t is now apparent that all this talk
about the disappearance of boodleism
from state politics is idle vaporing. The
Doodle is still OH deck. and on the ram
page. The fat frying that will be done
will be caution. The action of the Re-
publican committee yesterday in fixing
that date for the convention at time
when it will be next to impossible for
the farmers to participate in the selec
ton of delegates is evidence enough
that the campaign is to be run on the
old regulation machine methods. Every
body knows what that means.

COMING from CANADA.

While there is some increase OF the
emigration to this country from Europe,
it is reported that the Canadian prov
inces will make an unusual contribution
this year. That is particularly the case
with the province of Quebec. The off,
cial at the head Of the government
there not long since computed that the
end of this year would see a million Of
the natives of that province alone in
district where premiums are offered for
large families, and remarkable fruit
fulness prevails. The occasion for
bountieS would seem to be passed
if, as alleged, the population has
outgrown the means of subsistence. 1t
is naturally rather poor country, and
has quite largely depended upon its
lumber. which is mostly gone. The
young people from Quebec have come
over in large numbers to the New Eng
land and New York towns, aud worked
in the mills, factories and domestic
service, going back again. They are now
coming more generally to stay. They
are,mostly of the unskilled labor class;
and, like the Italians and Poles coming
over SO largely, they are accustomed to
work for low wages, and live much be-
low the fare common to the natives in
similar lines of employment. 1t will be
more difficult to maintain desirable
wage tariffs if there is an excess of this
competition. Quebec, however, is more
peculiar in the character than perhaps
number of its emigrants to the United
States. In an article in the Forum for
this month Prof. GOODWIN SMITH says
that in Ontario the farmers are stream
ING over the line" He says the reports
of the government experts, which are
made as low as possible, show that in
the past seven years the farm property
in Ontario has fallen in value 1913, 10000
and halt the farms are mortgaged for
two-thirds their value. The same
writer indicates that attempts to make
things boom by protection to in

thing to do with the present sit
nation. Manufactures forced into ex-
istence by protection have not paid :.

by glut, short time and combinations"
That is the averment of Prof. SMITH,
He further adds: 1.-The fruits of pro-
tectionist policy in Canada afford no
support to the belief that communities
can be made rich by taxation" Ideas
of that sort have been getting posses
sion of good many minds on this side
of the line. The United States has a
much larger scope of country, more
varied resources. greater capital and en-
terprise, and is better able to get along
,, comfortably than is Canada under the
operation of the system of taxing all the
people to help the few. 1t will be but a
matter of time before the eXperienc
will be similar in character to that re-
ported in Canada. Some are findiGg out
| that, as q settled thing. it is not wise to
tax one class of citizens to help out 9th
ers in their business.

The Jones bill. which is the extreme

provision is made in the house bill, and

yor by the administration. because. with
the prospective tariff on Mexican silver
bearing lead ores, it would make it nee
essary to go abroad for at least 10000 600
ounces of silver annually. The admin
istration policy Is merely to buy all the
silver produced in this country. The
same criticism is made by the admins

Three Men Killed in Mid-Riyep
at Louisville.
LOUISVILLE, KY, May 14.-About
O'Clock this evening, while workmen
were engaged in the construction of the
upper part of a caisson. used in the ex-
cavatlon work for the pier foundations
of the new Louisville & Jeffersonville
bridge, the caisson, while being shifted
in the strong mid-river current, broke
from its moorings. The air chamber.
fourteen feet below the surface, was
filled with compressed air, and when
the hawsers parted the buoyancy of the
submerged portion of the twenty-eight-
foot caissOn, caused it to sud-
denly turn over, carrying with it
the ScaffoldiDg and eighteen workmen.
The following named were killed:
C. P. MITCHELL, of Kansas City, second
assistant superintendent of construction;
impaled on an iron rod projecting from the
side of the lower portion of the caisson.
CHARLES SANDERS, q carpenter, crushed
between the calsson and the scaffolding sup
ports, and
JOSEPH wAI.DRoN, (colored), laborer,
drowned
The other fifteen workmen. some of
whom were slightly injured, were res
cued by boats.

ON A WAR FOOTING.
Germany Will Maintain an Armed
Eoroo 70 pcosorvo Da1no

Germany Will Maintain an Armed
Force to Preserve Peace.
BERLIN, May 14.-During the debate
in the reichstag to-day on the military
bill Gen. Verdy-du-Vernois, minister of
war, explained the provisions of the
measure, and addressed the house in its
support. He urged that Germany
should keep peace with the other
powers and reorganiZe her army.
He also pointed out that the
work of reorganization required
time, and that the army could not sud
denly be placed on proper level.
Field Marshal Count Won MOltke also
spoke in support of the bill. The En-
ropean situation. he said, is always
growing more difficult. 1t is impera-
tive that Germany should have strong
military system. A strong governm ent
will alone be able to maintain peace.
Despite the pacific assurances of for
eigD powers, Germany must herself
provide for her own security. He
believed that all the powers are
peacefully disposed, but security
can only be attained by Germany's
own efforts. There is no one
who does not hesitate to throw match
into the powder barrel. The better the
army is organized. and the more it is
prepared for war, the more would the
other powers be iuclined to maintain
peace. OF course, he continued, the
maintenance Of the army on war foot
ing demands the expenditure of large
amounts of money. But the country
should not hesitate to eXpend whatever
sums may be necessary. The point to
be carefully considered is this: If we
stop in our war expenditures the most
brilliant financial situation that
we may be able to create
will not insure the exclusion of
our enemies from the fatherland. Herr
Richter, the leader of the Progressist
Liberals, said that while the preamble
to the bill justified the measure by a
reference to the increase of the peace
effective of the French army, the house
ought to consider that this increase in
France was accompanied by reduction
in the time of service to two years. He
was of the opinion that a two years
compulsory term Of service in the Ger
MANY army would also be sufficient
for the interests Of the empire.
He maintained that the reichstag
ought to form its own views
and not form decision based
on the views of two prominent military
officers. Verdy-du-Vernois replied that
the government, when asking for previ-
Gus credits, had never maintained that
the increases then demanded were final.
