GOOD NEWS FOR CHICAGO.

1t augurs well for the Worlds Fair at
Chicago that the British Government has
announced its intention to make full
showing not only of England, but of India
and the British colonies. Great Britain
has the ability to surpass all the other
foreign exhibitors at the Fair, and Wis.,
count Cross statement that the Indian
Government will also do its best is de-
cidedly good news. 1t is noteworthy, also,
that Sir Philip Cunliffe Owen, speaking
for the Society of Arts, which has under
taken to superintend the British collection
of exhibits, recognized fully the promise of
the Chicago Exposition to excel all its
| fererunners wherever held.
The world has gained much in iberality
and breadth of view since the Institutional
exhibition was held. When the great Ma
pOleon instituted national exhibition at
Paris, in 1898, his idea was to foster the
talents and stimulate the invention Of
Frenchmen alone, and to that end offered
q gold medal to the manufacturer who
should show how to inflict the heaviest
injury upon English trade. The idea that
the manufactures exhibited ought to
be domestic exclusively prevailed in
France, and indeed in all countries where
expositions were held, until the middle of
the present century. England's first
international exhibition was in
1851, with another by France four
years later. No disastrous results
followed these comparisons of products,
and interchanges of ideas. The benefits
were so positive and plain that no nation
has returned to the exclusive policy in its
exhibitions since then. There is hardly
country or nation upon earth now that has
not in some sort invited the world to
comparative show of powers and products,
and the number of exhibitions, national
and international, is already in the
hundreds, and range from the immense
performances at Philadelphia, Paris,
London and Vienna, to the more modest
affairs at Kioto, Japan, at New Orleans or
at Ballarat, and the local exhibitions of
which Pittsburg's is good example.
The Society of Arts, which has under
taken to collect and order the representa-
ton of Great Britain and her colonies at
Chicago, has been actively engaged in
work of this kind since its foundation in
the last century The success of the first
international London exhibition, in 1851,
and of the minor ones that preceded it, as
well as those of more recent date, has been
largely due to the sustained and WELL
aimed efforts of this society. Chicago
may aSsuredly look for British exhibit
worthy of the great fair and the great
emnire which makes it

STOCKS DULL BUT BIG CROPS.

Wall street is depressed but the country g
business is not. The idle brokers are
unhappy, but not so the busy farmers In
fact Wall street is not in sympathy with
the country's business interests, and its
dull and depressed condition is rather the
result of European causes than American.
The crops are very large, wheat assuredly
so, corn almost beyond doubt. There is
enough money to supply all legitimate
demands, and money is cheap, at time
when it most needed to move the gigantic
harvests. Manufacturers are beginning to
feel the first touch of reviving trade, and
the prospects for brisk fall business
could hardly be improved If through
complications with which we are not
directly concerned in Europe the stock
market is at the mercy of the bears, it is
worth remembering that the actual situa-
ton of producers in shop and farm to-day
is anything but discouraging. The big
harvests, conservative manufacturing and
the good effect of the protective system are
the potent factors for term of prosperity
in this land. Small harvestS in Europe
make the ability of this country to ex-
port all the more valuable There have
been dark hours in the past twelve months,
but looking ahead all is bright for the
United States

THE "STRAIGHT-oUTE a" PROTEST

Those ''stTaight-out Republicans" who
want an exclusively partisan bench
Tor Common Pleas No. held their meet
ing yesterday and ordered a convention
for August. As Governor Pattison's
nominees. the sitting Judges, already have
the formal Endorsement of the Democrats,
as well as of the Republican County Ex-
ecutive Committee, and as the first objec-
ton is yet to be heard to their character
or capacity, it requires no great foresight
to see how the "straight-out" partisan
movement will figure at the polls.
There is, however, one aspect in which
IFS projectors can justify it, 1. e., upon the
ground that by party usage they had a
right to a convention to name their own
candidates. Their position on that score
is impregnable. But the choice of Judges
is a matter for the public apart from the
settlement Of questions Of party usage
and discipline. The public are by no
means so enthusiastically appreciative of
the convention system, its often-times cor
rupt processes and poor results, as to re-
quire that otherwise fit Judges must
hustle around for annointment by con-
vention of waTd-workers before being
voted for
At present the movement gives promise
Of being of no more practical weight than
a mere protest by partisans' minority
against the men whom they elected to the
County Committee TO run their party ma
chinery. The technical ground for that
protest is unassailable, but the election of
men to administer justice in the courts
viii not turn wholly or mainly upon dis
pute within the party as tohow the organi-
zation should be run.

GOOD CHEER FROM oHAUTAUoUA.

Optimism is evidently on top at Chau-

to be expected. Twice within the last

M,KtNLEY,s TARIFF TESTED.

Free-traderS, or tariffites-for-reyenue
only, found little comfort in the summary
and review of the foreign commerce of the
United States during the year ending
June 30. 1891, which the Treasury Depart
ment gave in yesterdays DISPATCH. This
is the first opportunity TO judge fairly of
the effects Of the Mckinley tariff. Demo-
cratic statesmen have had gigantic fun
with faneies. They will not have much
with the facts.
a favorite argument against the McKin-
ley bill was that it would be certain to
bring about decrease in imports, but no
decrease in taxation. The theory was that
the increase of duties would cause a
shrinkage of importation, while exacting
a greater revenue The figures and the
facts of the official report do not sustain
this argument, for while through the ex-
tension of the free list the importations
have increased no less than S31, 900, 900 in
value, the customs revenue has been
diminished quite as positively.
The report does not contain an exact
statement Of the customs revenue for the
nine months under the Mckinley tariff, as
compared with that under the old tariff,
but official figures for seven out
of the nine months are obtain
able, and they show that while in
1SS9-90 the customs revenue amounted
TO S136, ,O33. .3S1 CO, in 1S9O-91 the same
seven months produced but s113, 126, ,076 IA,
or about twenty-three millions less. If
the reduction in revenue keeps pace
throughout the year, the annual revenue
under the Mckinley law will be about
forty millions less than it was in the last
year under the old tariff. Taking the
tariff to be a tax for the nonce, this means
q reduction in taxation of forty millions
per annum.
The Mckinley tariff has clearly operated
to the advantage of the country in restrict
ing the importation Of articles which we
can produce, in opening the way for such
goods as we do not production the total
of importations is swelled by the great in
crease of free imports-and in raising in
the least burdensome manner the revenue
necessary for the maintenance of the
best, though not the most economical gov
ernment on earth. These facts are going
10 nave NlueT anu NelglIleT elec6 upon
the voters minds than the free-traderS'
tictions, which, cooperating with natural
causes for discomfort among the farmers,
produced the political convulsion last
year.
We have considered the figures as above
merely in the light of the regulation
Democratic cry that the tariff is "a tax
and a burden. Taken upon their own
ground the opponents of the Mckinley bill
are deprived of their pet grievance by the
official figures

WASHINGTON, July 29.-Attorney General
Miller and Solicitor General Taft heard ar
guments to-day by Attorney General Cald-
well and Ex-Governor Wilson, of West Vir-
ginia in the matter of the demand of the
State of West Virginia for the payment of
slsl 900, claimed to be due under the direct
tax refundfng act The accounting officers
of the Treasury have asked the Attorney
General for an opinion as to whether the
claim ought not to constitutes setoff against
a portion of the bonds of Virginia held by
the United States in trust for certain Indian
tribes, on the ground that West Virginia is
responsible for portion of the Virginia
resentatives of West Virginia contended
that just and equitable settlement of ac-
counts between Virginia and West Virginia
would show that instead of West Virginia
being liable for any of Yirginia's debt n bal
ance would be found on the other side of the
account.
Aside from this, it was contended that the
against Virginia bonds, as one claim could
only legally be set OF against another when
the amount of both claims had been judici-
ally determined. The absurdity of suing
the State of West Yirginia on q bond of Vir-
ginia was pointed out and the authority of
any executive department to determine
question essentially judicial was denied
The arguments were particularly interest
ing, as the covered the whole ground of the
liability of West Virginia for any portion of

will give representatives of the Virginia
bondholders an opportunity to be heard be-
fore giving his opinion.

NAVIGATION RE0PENED
On the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and
Georgetown Is Rejoicing Again.

Georgetown Is Rejoicing Again.
tFRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON, July 2o-The Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal, between Cumberland, Nd, and
Georgetown, ID. c., has at last been rehabil-
ftated. The water was turned on yesterday
at Cumberland and this evening the slug
gfsh flood began to make its appearance at
Georgetown. 1t was turned on very gradu-
ally, that its course might be watched and
all obstructions removed. The flood was
followed in its course by the chief engineer
and an assistant, who have supervised the
repairs. The canalmen, who have occupied
some of the boats as homes, are getting
ready to resume the work which was stopped
two years ago. A few of them are moving
their families out, but a number will con-
tinue to live on the boats, thus keeping their
wives and children with them. There have
been more than so boats used as homes by
these people since the freshet Ind some of
them are rather comfortable. OF course, in
many instances, they are crowded for ROOM
but every portion of boat is utilized to the
very best possible advantage. Two of the
neatest and most comfortable looking boat
homes have been anchored for two years
Immediately under the Thirty second street
bridge. A look at the dirty green water
which surrounds them would lead to the be-
lief that one nights sleep on the boat would
mean sure death, but it is seldom that case
of sickness is heard of among them.
At the main Office it was ascertained that
the first trip will probably be made on the
first day of next month, and by the 18th, at
least 80 boats will be running. This number
will be increased as rapidly as possible, until
sufficient number is in service. The
coal, grain, hay, lime and lumber, and as this
is slow in transportation, a very large number
of boats will be required. Many of the old
teamsters have kept their stock and will re-
turn to the towpatE. Two hundred thousand
dollars has already been paid out in repairs
to this canal and there is still a large amount
of work to do. The people of Georgetown
generally are elated over the fact they are
soon to have communication with the out
side world through this medium.
