THE National Republican Convention
meets in Minneapolis next Tuesday, yet
who will be the nominee is still a matter
of some doubt. The opponents of Pres
ident Harrison are working increasingly
to induce Mr.. Blaine to say he will ac-
cept the nomination, if rendered him
unanimously, but SO far their efforts
have met with no success. While
the great mass of the people undoubtedly
would prefer Blame, were he in the field,
to any other candidate, still the fact is
clear that those who are now foremost
in the movement in his favor, are not
actuated by their love for him so much
as by their hostility to President Harri-
son. The people wanted Blaine, but
when he declined, they took him at his
word and naturally fell back on Harrison
as a second choice. They are still for
Harrison, such bosses as Platt and Quay,
to the contrary Notwithstanding. Still,
if Blaine were nominated-if nominated
he would be elected-these men would
have but little more influence with the
than they have with the
present one, SO that their only glory lies
in defeating Harrison. However, the
Minneapolis Convention can be relied
upon to make no mistake and the party
will be in line whoever is the nominee.

DURING the progress of the Steuhen-
vile convention the Pittsburgh Com
mercial Gazette paid the following high
and deserved compliment to Colonel
Poorman:
If the great manufacturing districts in Ohio,
Pennsylvania, nd West Virginia were allowed to
say word in this convention it would certainly be
in favor of Col PoOrman on account OF his special
fitness for the position. The other candidates are
able and worthy men, but he can probably come
nearer taking McKinley's place in Congress than
any other man in the State. That is the principal
reason why he has been so ably supported by the
press outside of his district and even outside OF
the State The country needs more men IN
Congress who are specially qualified TO become
effective champions of the cause of protection
Col. Poorman's ability and information
on the the tariff question, so fully recog-
nized outside of his district, is no less
appreciated at home He is fully quail
fed to represent and defend the interests
of this great district interests that are
so intimately dependent on the main
tenance of the Republican protective
system. No other of the candidates
who were before the convention is so
well fitted in information, in fiery energy
and untiring zeal, to help along the
great fight of this year to the success OF
Republican doctrines. His voice will
be heard at every point in the district,
and the Democracy may prepare itself
for a rough handling of its pet theories

SEPARATE CAR LAW.
Constitutionality of the Louisiana Act

Constitutionality of the Louisiana Act
viii BE Tested by Colored Man.
NEW ORLEANS. Feb. 26.-The consti-
tutionality of the separate car law,
known as "Act No. III of the session of
$780," will be tested in the local courts
shortly. The law has been denounced
right and left by the colored people of
the state, and Thursday considerable
excitement was caused by the arrest Of
D. F. Desdunes, young colored man,
and son of u. Desdunes, the well know II
colored Republican leader. Desdunes
had taken occasion to test the law. This
morning he boarded the Louisville and
Nashville train and refused to leave the
car set aside for the white people. He
was promptly elected from the train and
lodged in Jail. He was arraigned on a
charge of violating the act and was re-
leased on bail to await hearing. The
case has attracted considerable attention
among the legal lights, but there seems
to be no doubt entertained but that the
law will stand.

BLAINE PROTESTS
Against Canada's Refusal to Issue Copy
rights to American Citizens.


rights to American Citizens.
OTTAWA, Feb. 26.-The secretary of
state for the colonies, Lord Knutsford,
has transmitted to the governor general
dispatch received by Lord Salisbury
from Secretary Blaine protesting in the
strongest terms possible in diplomatic
intercourse against the refusal of the
Canadian government to grant copy
right to American citizens.
Mr. Blaine recites the provisions of
the Simonds act of 1891, that the privi-
lege of copyright in the United States
shall only apply to such foreign states
as grant similar privileges to American
citizens. Great Britain, through Lord
Salisbury, agreed to this, and declared
the law of copyright in force in all
British possessions.
Mr.. Blaine points out that application
by Americans for Canadian copyright
has been refused by advice of the Cana
dian minister of justice, and informs
Lord Salisbury, in effect, that the re-
fusal Of the Canadian government, if
sustained, will constitute a breach of
faith on the part of Great Britain.
= Minister of Justice Thompson was in
terviewed Thursday in regard to the
matter, and said he did not consider the
arrangement with Great Britain as
treaty, and consequently the statute law
of Canada compelled him to refuse
copyright in Canada to citizen of the
United States.
