ONLY remedy for the present disastrous dis
turbanco of relations between Great Britain
and India. If the language Of the dispatch
accurately reports the proposals to be made by
the dcputation. this demonstration will be OF
great importance, and Will materially ala inc
efforts of the United states Government, even
though the Government OF Great Britain may
not be prepared at this time to commit Itself

which would undoubtedly be suggested in any
international conference, possibly more in har-

mont and at the same time more effective for
the rehabilitation of silver and the settlement
of monetary difficulties. 1t would not be wise

monetary relations between Great Britain and
India would impart to silver higher though
fictitious and temporary value, would induce
great speculation in that metal and would en-

clear that free coinage here would prevent any
international agreement on this subject that

The President might say with truth that such
an act would at this time do infinitely more to
defeat the efforts of the United States in the
international field than the publication of any
correspondence and would therefore be more
emphaticaly not compatible with the public

large advance in rate of wages. In these, the
great branches of the industry, the average
rate of wages was S299 annually in 1880, but
had risen to 1867 annually in 1890, a gain OF
227 per cent.

its best ten years ago, shows noteworthy
progress in wages paid and in wool consumed.

President Harrison displayed his customary
taste and tact in the brief remarks which he
made at Riverside. In the art of saying some
thing graceful and something worth saying, in
a few sentences, he has no superior. His little
address yesterday was well conceived terse
and pointed, and it was delivered with much
of oratorical force What he said of Grant
was eminently fitting and equally appropriate
was the praise which he deity bestowed on
Mr.. Depew and General Porter.

BRAZIL And RECIPROCITY.

That Brazil has no reason to complain OF the
operation of tho Reciprocity Treaty is shown
by the official statistics Of It's trade with the
United States. The convention went INTO ef-
feet on April |, 1891. During the five months
ending September /, 1891, the exports from
Rrazil To the United States amounted TO
S39.7 Os.752. This was n gain of ~ SCI 30
over the exports for the corresponding period
of the previous year. In view of this enormous
increase in the importation of coffee, sugar,
hides and other Brazilian products, the advan-
tagcs derived from the Reciprocity convention
are incontcStablc. When disgruntled poll
ticians in Rio de Janeiro and lnc-hatlng
journalists in the United states assert that Bra
iii was cheated in that treaty they do not
venture to face the statistics of international
trade under Reciprocity conditions.
This is not all. Brazil in negotiating the
Reciprocity treaty secured "A free market for
three of its staple products. \ year after the
convention went into effect duties were REIN
posed upon the coffee, sugar and hides of
Venezuela. Colombia and lIayti. This involves
discrimination Of enormous value in favor OF
Brazil In 1890 the importation of coffee from
the three countries into the United states
amounted to 7O,O96,7O0 pounds, or about 10
per cent of the supply. With duty of cents
this involves discrimination of S2,2S2,9Ol
against those countries on coffee alone. Brazil
is profting so heavily from the enforcement OF
the Reciprocity policy that no sane statesman
in that country will seriously propose the abro-
CATION Of the treaty.

Republican conventions to choose delegates
to the National Convention at Minneapolis were
held yesterday in Maine, New-lIampshire, New
Jersey, Ohio, Missouri, Colorado and Nebraska.
In all of them entire harmony and the best of
feeling prevailed. The platforms adopted with
one accord take uncompromising ground on the
question of Protective Tariff From all over
the country come proofs of a united, enthus-
astic and hopeful party. The Republicans will
enter the campaign of 1892 under the most
prosperous auspices.

Exceptionally strong protests against the
Election Inspectors bill were sent to Albany
Yesterday by the Republican Club of this city
and the Peoples Municipal League. The
ground taken by the prOteStants is that the
bill should be left unsigned, not for party rea-
sons, but because the highest public interests
demand that there should be no tampering
with the election machinery in New-York City.
Three OF the four sgners of the Municipal
Leagues memorial are Democrats. That is a
fact which Governor Flower should duly con-
slider. 1t is by no means Republicans alone
who call for fair play in this matter
General Horace Porter was able at the Grant
exercises Yesterday to make the gratifying
announcement that up to Tuesday S2O2,SO

manned to be raised. After deducting the sub
scriptions thus far made, the amount still to
be obtained is close to S150,000. This is a
large sum, but really the work of completing
the fund has only begun, and there are now
nearly $500 men actively engaged in securing
subscriptions There are the best of reasons

Cuddy was discovered by the guard in an IN
conscious condition and blood streaming from
a frightful wound in his head. He died within
an hour. Blackman was at once taken to his
cell and practically confessed the crime. 1t is
said last week this same convict assauhed Cud-
dy, but did not iniiict serious injuries upon him.
He was then iogged in a thorough manner by
the prison officials, and afterwards swore he
would kill Cuddy He was allowed to so back
to the broom shop, however. A convict friendly
to Cuddy informed tina. gentleman today that
Blaekman had it in Tor him. Cuddy did not
take the matter at all seriously. simply saying:
"Oh, l guess not" The broom contracts of

was about TO retire. Blackman WAS sentenced
for life from Oakland county for killing his wife

Assignee Stockwell said:
The lawyers on both sides in the Iron Hall
receivership suit, with the consent and approval
OF Judge Taylor. came here to take away the
cash and securities of the bank and move
them to indianapolis. Krumbhaar. the state
superintendent of banking, has been working

ton of wrecklug this institution and the Iron

creditors and keeping the assets within this

The bank is perfectly solvent
1t is claimed by the applicants for the
