Senator Mcmillan Thinks He VIII Use His
Influence for Harrison.
Detroit News.1
Senator Mcmillan was at his Office yester-
day reading number OF letters, serene and
undisturbed after the great battle at Mime
apolis. Chatting with the Ne1os, he said: "It
was a very interesting convention. The ar.
rangements of the building were very well
adapted for the purpose. 1t had a capacity
of II 900 people and was full every day; a per-
feet sea of heads, and so evenly distributed
The acoustic properties of the building were
extraordinary. Even those on the floor
could be heard. and such speakers as Mr..
Depew and Wolcott could be heard very dis
tinctly. 1 came home in Mr. Ledyard's car,
in winch Mr.. Depew visited, his car being
attached to the train. He told me that the
audience in Conven tion Hall was the finest
he ever addressed.
"While there was a great deal Of interest
centereo IN the candidates. OF Blaine, Nc
Kinley and others, no bad feeling was
evlnced throughout. and it was one OF the
most orderly Of assemblages. While the ad-
mirers of Mr.. Blaine were very much disap-
pointed, they will forget the Disappointment
and work for Mr.. Harrison as though lie
were their first choice. That Is the prevail
ing sentiment since the convention, so far
as my observation goes 1t is better for the
Republican party that there was more than
one candidate at Minneapolis. It stirred
them up more than if it had been merely o
perfunctory affair of one candidate all set
up in advance without any opposition. As
to Mr.. Blaine's future, Of that cannot ven.
ture an opinion. think Mr. Blaine will
give manly support to the ticket, and
entertain no doubt about that. While at Min

esting while the fight was on,

THE SCALE CONFERENCE.

The conference between the iron manu-
facturers and iron workers yesterday was
principally important as bringing the two
sides into communication and commencing
the process of making reasonable settle
ment 1t was not to be expected that
much progress would be effected; but it is
satisfactory that the close approximation
to large-sized bluffs made by previous an
nouncements has not prevented a reason
able discussion of the issue.
Pending the settlement of the question
the public will not fail to take notice that
the Amalgamated Association has, by re-
ducing the highest classes of wages in their
new scale, met and satisfied one of the
principal arguments of the manufacturers
in favor of reduction. This argument is
that by improvements of machinery
rollers, who earned good wages when the
old scales were settled, now earn
a great deal more without appreciable in
crease of labor. The new Amalgamated
scale meets and satisfies this point. With
this step on one side toward meeting the
needs of the iron masters good example
is set for them to follow. With fair dis
position on both sides there is no reason
why the wage question should not be
amicably settled Certainly no one can
afford strike over wages this year. Its
financial and political results would be so
disastrous that all parties in mere self
preservation should work together to
avert them.

A NOVEL STUDY.

The story to the effect that the Hon.
Melville Henry Douglas Bruce, Marquis
of Ruvigny and Raineval, has come to the
United States to study politics in order to
work up boom in England for the resto-
ration of the Stuarts is mainly calculated
to excite jeers. The gentleman of the
noble title may have honorable intentions,
but the impression left by the statement
creates a doubt whether it is satire on
himself, the Stuarts or United States poll
tics.
How the methods of this country in
making Presidential OF other candidates
can be utilized to the advantage of the
few surviving relics of the late Stuart
who died at Whitehall, the noble gentle
man does not explain. If he studies this
subject to any purpose he Is likely to dis
cover that the sole connection is the lesson
that booms for back numbers are dismal
failures. Also, if the example of United
States politics has any effect on Great
Britain, the natural result will be that
when the English have no longer any use
for the House of Hanover they will not
take up the Stuarts again, but will follow
the American example by setting up re-
public
The most cogent suggestion in connec-
ton with this alleged error of our noble
visitor is that it might be well for people
who come into personal contact with him
to investigate as to the exact location of
the marquisate of Ruvigny and RainevaL

MIR. BIGELOw'S BACKING.

The news that Mr. Poultney Bigelow
and Mr.. Frederick Remington have been
expelled from Russian territory on ac-
count of some criticisms of Russia made
by the former in the past foreshadows in
ternational complications 1t has been
one of the most fervcnt assertions of the
past six months or so that the rights of
American citizens are to be upheld all
over the world at any cost. Since this
principle was published in decidedly
flamboyant manner, and to the exclusion
of such minor matters as reason and inter-
national comfy in dealing with some
forgotten when it comes into collision
with power like Russia, possessing a
large army and some very formidable war
vessels. Inasmuch as the incident also
collides with recent urgent declarations
of the love of Russia for anything and
everything American. it will also be es-
pecially necessary to insist on straighten-
ing out the incongruity.
But if by any oversight the administra-
tion and Its organs should be too busy
attending to domestic politics for the
American eagle to do any effective scream
ing, the double-headed eagle of Germany
must come to Mr.. Bigelow's rescue. This

barre; II. T. Ames, of Wflliamsport, and A.
A. Stevens. Of Tyrone, appointed at the re-
cent meeting Of the State Prohibition Con-
vention at Scranton, to consider the method
of voting under the new ballot law. As the
Prohibition party polled less than per
cent of the votes cast at the last general
election, 1t is obliged to nominate by nom-
ination papers or discarding them, to resort
to the use of stickers. The committee again
met today and fully discussed the possibil-
lty Of this method, and made such recon-
mendattons to the various counties as
thought best.
Chairman Patton, OF the State Prohibition
Executive Committee, came from Lancaster
to this city to-day. He said: 1.-THE State
Convention, which met at Scranton June ],
was admitted to having been the largest
ever held. made circuit of the State
previous to the convention, and attended
about 80 meetings. The attendance was
more than double that OF any ever held, and
the interest far exceeded anything of the
past. Some portion of the campaign work
has been especially laid out for August.
Mrs. Helen NJ. Gouger will make n circuit OF
the State that month, attending 80 meetings.
Miss Anna Parke, the famous cornetist, will
accompany her. Pennsylvania will have
full delegation at the National Convention,
which meets at Cincinnati June 29."

THE DEMoCR vic CHOICE.

As the date for the Democratic National
Convention draws near the strong popular
sentiment among the mass of Democratic
voters crystallizes more and more on
Cleveland. 1t is true that the factions in
New York are little, if any, less far apart
than they were in February, but it is no
less true that the strength of Cleveland's
support in the Empire State has grown
enormously since that time. The demand
for his nomination up and down the coun-
try has steadily increased, notwithstand-
ing some few slight rebuffs here and there,
until to-day everything points to. the
probability that he will be the Democratic
candidate.
There is to be no lack of enthusiasm in
Chicago, and from the numbers who in
tend to be present it is plain that the
party means to indulge in shouting its
loudest ere defeat stares it in the face. 1t
is evident that the party intends to make
hard fight, but it is sad to see so much en-
thusiaSm thrown away on a hope so for
lorn as that which depends on cause an
tagonistic to Americas industrial inde-
pendence. Let the party choose its strong
CoO IL ulbIc
popular representative than Cleveland
and let it smother as it may the internecine
strife which so greatly weakens it in New
York, and the platform upon which it
stands will still make Its defeat in Novem-
her foregone conclusion.
Any Democrats foolish enough to enter
tain hopes of success on the score of
divisions in the Republican ranks are
doomed to most thorough and bitter dis
appointment. Not a day passes but
brings direct evidence that men who
believe in fostering home industries will
act as a unit in November. Differences as
to the choice of a candidate are one thing,
defections after the nomination has been
made are something entirely different
Any variance of opinion as to the best
man to represent the cause is drowned
out, now that the selection has been made,
in the overwhelming flood which is to
sweep away all obstacles to the progress
of industrial independence. Protection is
the cry and it is cry loud enough to
outsnund oil others

AFAMoUs PRIESTS DEATH.

The death of Father Mollinger, of ST.
Anthony's Church, Troy Hill, yesterday, is
sudden termination of the career of a
priest whose fame has recently become
worldwide. 1t was known that he had
been much Frustrated by the drain on his
energies from the rush of people to his
church to obtain the curative aid for
which his shrine had become famous; but
that the failure of his strength would prove
fatal was not anticipated
1t is several years since the remarkable
cures effected by Father Mollinger at the
Troy Hill church were first heralded. The
exact nature of the power exerted for
healing purposes was never clearly
defined. They were hardly claimed to be
miraculous, as part of the treatment con-
sisted of remedies prescribed by the
priest-physician. At the same time sudden
cures were reported in connection with the
religious ceremonies at the shrine, which
invested them with the character of an ex-
hibition of supernatural power 1t was
the explanation of the clergyman himself
that divine power, in response to the faith
of the applicants for cure, aided his rene
dies.
However the fame of ST. Anthony's
shrine may be explained, its reputation has
grown so that each year crowds of people
focked from all parts of the country to
secure the ministrations of the late Father
Mollinger. The church, originally a small
one, was rebuilt-the work being finished
only this year-on large and handsome
scale. The annual pilgrimage was at its
full tide when the priestly healer was
stricken down. Whether the healing work
will be kept up at the shrine, or the pub
lie faith will survive the shock of his
death, the future must tell.

TOO SUCCESSFUL RESTRICTION.

1t is worthy of mention that the object
held up few months ago as desirable for
the Southern cotton planters to attain has
been brought about by the forcible inter-
position of nature We were told earlier
in the year that the only hope for South
ern prosperity lay in producing less cot
ton. Singularly enough, the deduction
that if people could not get their money
back raising cotton they would stop plant
ing it did not seem to appeal to the re-
strictionists. They went on urging an
agreement among some hundreds of thou
sands, If not millions, of cotton raisers
that they would raise ten or twenty per
cent less cotton than before.
But nature stepped in and did the work
that had been asked for. The Mississippi
floods destroyed thousands of acres of
cotton, and it Is now too late to replant it.
The rainy weather has not been favorable
to the development of cotton either in the
Mississippi Valley or on the Atlantic
coast AS a result there is likely to be
serious diminution in the crop, which may
possibly be the highest since 1874.
According to the views of the restric-
tionists this ought to bring unollayed and
unusual prosperity to the South. But
there are already signs that the theory of
securing prosperity by diminishing the
production of the earth does not work out
in actual practice. The people whose cot
ton fields have been destroyed in the Mis-
sissippi Valley are so far from being con-
WINGED of their prosperity that they are
loudly calling for protection against the
repetition of such calamities. The rest Of
the South is beginning to suspect that it
may be poorer instead of richer for hav-
ing less cotton to sell, and that while cot
ton may be little higher the total return
to the industry will be good deal less.
1t would not be strange If the desire for
restriction of cotton production should be
satisfied in a way to make the Southerners
repent that they ever wished it.
