TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
THURSDAY, APRIL q. 1892.
THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

The State Republican Convention has
adopted an unusually strong platform.
There was no attempt to evade current
questions under deceptive mass of vague
generalities. Protection to American in
dustries, coupled with antagonism to the
free coinage of silver, is winning issue
in itself, and one that was indorsed in no
doubtful language at Harrisburg yester-
day. The addition of appropriations for
internal improvement as special plan,
with the Ohio River and Lake Erie Ship
Canal as a starting point, is an innovation
worthy of imitation by the National
Republican Convention. The party whose
battle-cry is the policy which fosters home
industries is peculiarly fitted to be the
advocate of measures of such national
importance as the building of ship-canals.
And of all the canal schemes before the
country that indorsed is incomparably the
one of greatest urgency and value.
The position taken on the immigration
question is wise one in recognizing the
benefits the country has received from it
in the past, and observing the necessity
for its stricter regulation in the present,
though it would have been strengthened
by more specific language. The absence
of civil service reform from the timber
selected is theoretically to be regretted.
Practically the omission makes little diff
ference, to Judge from the behavior of the
administration in the immediate past, and
this view of the matter is probably the
explanation.
With regard to the nomination for the
Supreme Bench, Judge Dean appears to
be a man well fitted for the position.
Judge Ewing's eligibility cannot be
denied, but no one really expected that
candidates pre-eminent fitness for the
place could counter-balance the fatal fact
with State Convention that he came
from Allegheny county.

large amount of discredit on the instincts
and care of French mothers. If mothers
are not best fitted to rear their own prog
eny it is certain that their infants will
be none the better for the care of the Gov
ernment The field opened for irritating
and ill-judged legislation by the precedent
of such futile enactment is enormous.
The French population will never be in
creased in such way, and the only right
manner to deal with the question is by q
general social reform brought about by
private and individual effort.

THAT scheme of reducing coal to powder
at Connellsville, mixing it with water and
forcing it through pipes to New York in a
state Of semi-solidity, is an enterprise little
likely to go further than paper. The best
plan for cheap transportation of fuel to the
East would be the use of pipe line and
force pump to deliver consignments of the
Pittsburg atmosphere, which could be cut
up into Jumps of q convenient size on their
arrival. The only practical objection to this
excellent theoretical suggestion can be
found in the probability that our city's at
mosphere would prove too solid for such
treatment

ANATIoNAL NEGRO CONVENTION
Called to Meet in Cincinnati to Agitato
Against the Wrongs of the Race.

CINCINNATI, April 20.-A national conven-
tion of colored people OF the United States
is to be held here this summer. At a mass
meeting of citizens held recently a commit
tee was appointed to devise plan whereby
proper attention of the American people
and of the world may be called to the con-
dition Of the colored people in the United
States. The committee has decided to ask
the colored people of the United States to
send delegates to national convention to
be held in Cincinnati JULY 4 and 5, 1892, to
take effective steps to enlist the sympathy
OF all civilization IN behalf of justice. In
its call the committee says: at Is needless
to recount here the outrages and difficulties
that are heaped upon the race and that we
must meet at every turn in life.''
1t is not intended, says the committee, that
this convention shall be in any sense DO
lttical one, nor that political parties, as such,
shall in any way enter into its delibera-
tions.

The Blaine boom reached even into South

Quoted by E. P. Pellet in Barranquilla, Co

an article on its first page headed by
vignette of Mr.. Blaine, under which is the
following sentiment:
mo pentup Utica contracts his powers
his craftsmanship is as broad as the contf-
length of the hemisphere" Then follows
this poetic sentiment:
Oh Blaine. Blaine,

And don't you forgetit.
On the back page of the same issue, headed
by cut of a tombstone on which is in
scribed "The tomb of our buried hopes" is
an article containing Mr.. Blaine's letter
stating that he Is not q candidate for the
Presidential nomination. In commenting
upon this letter the editor of the paper says:
eve confess we feel very much like the
man who was drawing a load of dry ashes
upa steep hill, and on arriving at the top
found that the end board of his wagon had
fallen out and the ashes were pretty evenly
scattered from the top to the bottom Of the

A QUESTION ANSWERED.

When the duty e:rceeds 100 per cent,
does the foreigner gice us the goods
and pay us for taking them!
Take yard of calico for example,
which you can buy anywhere in this
country at cents. The duty on such
goods is FIVE cents yard-that is 125
Per cont. Who pays it, Why, no one
does. 1t is not paid At all. Yet if
there is in this country an Anglo.
maniac who insists that similar calico
made in Manchester, England, is worth
5 cents yard more than that made
at home and imports it, he will doubt
less pay the l25 per cent duty, and he
ought to. 1t 10 . tax on his un-Ameri-
can foolishness. But if the Manchester
manufacturer is determined to sell his
calico regularly in our markets in
open competition with the equally
good or better American products sell
ing at cents yard, then he must
pay the 3 cents q yard into the United
States Treasury and sell the goods at
AGENTS yard, thus losing l cent on
every yard. If he does not, he fails in
his effort to enter this market. As a
matter of fact, the Manchester man.
ufacturer knows better than to adopt
such a course. He looks elsewhere
for market for his calico, and leaves
the American people in the undis-
turbed enjoyment of the cheapest and
best calico to be found on the face of
the earth.
