EUROPE VERY NERVOUS.

The army maneuvers in Europe could be
very easily turned into real war. Coming
just after the explosive utterances of the
German press ON the anniversary of Sedan,
the meeting of the German and Austrian
EmperorS attracts more attention than it
otherwise would, and it may be said truly
that large part of Europe will watch the
mimic campaigns of the rival armies with
bated breath. The fear is lest machines
in such perfect order for work, as the Aus
trian, German and French troops are,
should collide. There is no particular rea.
son why war should be more imminent
now than it has been for year past, but
the tone Of the press everywhere in the
Old World indicates that the strain is a
little tenser than ever.
No amount Of moralizing will alter facts
but it does seem as if Germany, and all
Europe with her, were paying too high
price for Alsaee and Lorraine. For in the
retention of those provinces by Germany
lies peace's chief peril AS to the settle
ment of the outstanding account between
France and Germany, it does not look at
this moment as if the latter country would
have to remain in arms the full fifty years
predicted by Moltke. The decisive contest
is more likely to be on before half that
time has flown.

THE EMBARGO REMOVED.

The embargo on American pork was
raised yesterday in Germany, and the i'm
portation will be allowed to commence
Immediately. OF course there is restric-
ton to the effect that all pork and its pro-
ducts must be free from dangerous quail
ties before it can be allowed to enter.
Twelve years ago Italy interdicted the
importation of our pork and a-year later
Germany followed suit. France fell in
line ten years ago, and even the free ports
of Hamburg and Bremen declared against
the American hog in 1888.
The removal of the imperial objections
at this time is peculiarly good news 1t
comes when there is an enormous crop of
corn, the real raw material of the pork.
Before the European nations curtailed our
expectations, about 20 per cent of the en-
tire product was exported. In 1881 the
total value of pork expectations was $104,-
60,065, but after the edicts took effect it
only reached S7O,966, ,26S. Great Britain
was always the largest purchaser of Ameri-
can pork, but Germany came second and
France third 1t is entirely within the
bounds of reason to suppose that Germany

HANDICAPPED BY THEIR POLICY.

Just as THE DISPATCH outlined would
happen, the Democratic State Convention
yesterday not only sang very low upon th'
tariff and silver questions, but even wen
the length of declaring in the second planl
of its platform that the Estate election Of
1891 in Pennsylvania involves no issue Of
Federal politics. 1t should be merely 6
matter of getting rid of official abuses and
corrupt practices" in the fiscal affairs Of
the Commonwealth.
This declaration alone is sufficient to in.
struct the masses of the Democratic party
upon the important point that their lead.
ers have knowingly been in conflict with
public sentiment and public interest in
PENNSYLVANIA upon the Federal issue" of
the tariff Otherwise these leaders would
not have begged off, as they did yesterday,
upon this most important issue. Is it not
time for the Democratic leaders in Penn
sylvania 70 get in line with the feeling and
interests of the State in favor of protect
ing Pennsylvania industries, in place of
seeking influence outside of the State by
giving sympathy and support to the anti
protectioniStS which they desire not to
have considered when it comes to State
canvass?
The position of the platform that State
issues alone should be considered theoreti-
cally is a correct one. THE DISPATCH in
dorsed that position in the Governors can
Yass Of last year. But it is impossible to
ignore the fact that the result of this years
election in Pennsylvania and Ohio will
have an important bearing upon the Presi-
dental election of 1892. The absence of
any mention or Endorsement of Cleveland
in yesterdays proceedings is conspicuous
notice that Governor Pattison is in the field
as candidate for the Presidency. His
leading claim will rest upon the circum-
stance of his having carried Pennsylvania
twice; and the inevitable result of Demo-
cratic victory this fall would be to give the
impression that he would have a chance to
carry the State for President next year
even if standing upon an anti-protection
platform. We do not believe it desirable
that such an impression should 90 abroad.
Besides being a complete delusiOn, it would
have tendency to strengthen the position
Of the -protectionists, and this the
people who are concerned in the industries
of Pennsylvania which depend so largely
upon protection asSuredly will not do
As for the State candidates, Wright and
Tilden, nothing specially is yet urged
against them. But, the same and more
may be said of the Republican candidates,
who, this year at least, are credited as
being as honest and capable men and as fit
to be trusted as their opponents. Under
the circumstances there is no prospect
whatever that Pennsylvania will do other
wise this fall than give a substantial ma
jority for the Republican ticket.
The Democratic leaders cannot be in one
place to-day and another tomorrow They
are unsOund on the tariff and the silver
questions-and despite their appeal, it is
impossible to eliminate these two questions
from this years canvass. The Presidential
contest is too closely involved.

in that profession. Eventually, however, he
entered upon the study OF the law, and was
admitted to the bar in 1858. He was asso-
ciated with his father in practlce until the
death OF the latter, and soon became one Of
the leading lawyers of Eastern Pennsyl-
vania. Mr.. Wright has taken prominent
and active part In political affairs for more
than decade past. In the State eonven-
ton of 1886, his name was presented for the
Gubernatorial nopination, and he received
IL votes ON the first ballot the nomination
Chaunceys f. Black. His name was again
presented for the first place on the ticket ut
the State convention last year, but he re-
ceiyed only II votes. Pattison being nomin-
ated on the first ballot by an overwhelming
majority. He was then urged for the second
place on the ticket, and received lN votes
for Lieutenant Governor, to 19l for Chauncey
+. Black and for III. X. Sloan.
A, J.. Tilden, nominee for State Treasurer,
was born in Garrettsville, Portage county,
O., on August q, 1884. He attended the pub
lie schools of his native town and the Mel
son Academy. He started in business for
himself at the early age of Is as q lumber
man in the pine regions of Michigan In
1853 Mr. Tilden removed to Erie county, Pa,
1857, when he lost all he had accumulated by
the panic of that year. He then purchased
farm on the flats of French creek, In LIE
Beonf township, Erie county. where he has
made his home ever since, Since living in
Erie county Mr.. Tilden has taken promi-
nent part in politics. He is one of the
leaders in the Granger and the Farmers Al
lance. Last year the latter organization
selected him as their choice among the DEM
ocrats for Congress, and he was unanimously
indorsed by the Democratic conference of
the Twenty-sixth district, embracing Erie
and Crawford counties, but he was defeated
by Matthew Griswold, the Republican can
didate, by s9s plurality. Two years before
the district had been carried by the Repub-
lican candidate by over 5000 plurality. In
January last, on the inauguration OF Cover
nor Pattison, Mr.. Tilden was appointed Dep
uty Secretary of the Commonwealth posi-
tion for which he was urged by leading DEM
Ocrats throughout the State.

PROGRESS OF RECIPROCITY.

The ''transitory schedule under the
reciprocity agreement with Spain has Just
gone into operation. and AZ per cent of
the export trade of this country with
Cuba and Porto Rico will be relieved of
al duties. The articles that now can be
imported by Cuba from this country free
of duty include most of the important pro-
ducts, including unrefned petroleum,
coal, oats, barley, rye, most meats, wood
in nearly all forms, and many manufac-
tured articles, such as sewing machines,
wagons and carts, and boots and shoes.
The duties on many other products and
manufactures have been reduced.
Mexico has manifested her interest in
reciprocity by appointing special min
lister plenipotentiary to negotiate treaty
of reciprocity with the United States.
Both countries will gain by such treaty,
which can be, and, indeed, under the
terms of the act empowering the Presi-
dent to make reciprocal arrangements,
must be in harmony with the protective
policy of the United States. The enlarge
ment of the markets for our products and
manufactures, without injury to our own
industries in this manner, is another
assurance of prosperity for the United
States

The Annexation of Cuba.

To the Editor Of The Dispatch;
I have accidentally seen q paragraph in
your issue, about the 9Th of August, in which
it is editorially and inexplicably alleged, in
effect that my article touching the geo.
graphical and commercial relations of the
Island of Cuba with these United States is
but a revival of "the darling pro-slavery
scheme of former generation" Really
such a suggestion is rather Delphic, mas
much as by no possibility could slavery be
revived through the acquisition of Cuba;
and hence that acquisition, by no legitimate
use or collation. of English words, Is to be
pro-slavery scheme" Pardon me, however
for suggesting that your treatment
of my article, which you probably
did not read, is a revival on your
part of the old sectional fancies
which animated or actuated the strenuous
opposition to the acquisition of Louisiana,
to the annexation Of Texas, and to the ac-
Quisition of California: or, in fact, all that
bitter and purblind opposition to the extern
sion of the United States to the west of the
Mississippi river, which, always sectional
and sinister, has characterized certain peo-
pie here in the United States.
What surprises me somewhat, In the nat
ure of your paragraph about my article, is
your apparent blindness to an opportunity
for your political party to acquire political
strength in Congress, through the annexa-
tion of Cuba, n1t to speak of the new mar
kets that would be opened in that island, as
State of our Union, to the products of
Pittsburg as might be readily demonstrated
to any intelligent mind. THOMAS JORDAN.

ALAsKA's NATIVES DISAPPEARING.

The decrease in the population of
Alaska, which has Just been made known
in the report of Special Census Agent
Ivan Petroff, is due, it appears, to the
gradual disappearance of the natives.
The whites and Chinese have actually in
creased considerably in the last ten years.
Intemperance has played the mischief
with the hapless natives This has been
the fate of the Indians and of aborigines
very generally all the world over after
contact with Caucasian civilization. The
white man cOnquers the country and his
whisky does the rest.
The combination of temptations to which
the Athabascan Indians and the Es-
quimauX have been exposed is
singularly potent. On the one side
the Chinese laborers employed at the
canneries manufacture a peculiarly villain
ous liquor, nearly all of which, to quote
the census report, "'passes into the hands
of native laborers and of the worst ele-
ment among the fishermen. The Chinese
peddle this vile beverage openly at So 90 or
81 90 bottle, aid so extensive is this trade
that the large amount of coin used by the
various establishments for paying off
laborers invariably becomes locked mp in
the hands of the Chinese toward the end
Of the season"
