rcNRSjlraiila'A Cnndlilate ana the TarlfT.
The Allentown convention is reputed
te be very harmonious, tliere being 11
practically unanimous sentiment among
the delegate In favor of the selection of
Mr. Kandall ns tite candidate of the
Pennsylvania Democracy for the presi
dential nomination. Mr. Handall is
present, mid must feel a very deep grntl grntl
ficatlen at this expression of confidence
and high appreciation from the Demec
racy of his atate. It is an expression
which he lms well deserved in his long
career in the public scrr.ee; and what
ever may be the result of it at the
national convention it is a triumph
richly repaying the labor and eacritlces
that have secured it. We are In sym
pathy with the feeling whlcli has wen
for Mr. Italidnil this 7?nuTu at Allen
t.e -
town
He has been an intelligent,
earnest and upright representative of the
Jople and has earned their high reward.
The chnncu of Mr. Randall's nemlna
tlen by the national convention would
be much better, but for the tariff agitn
tlen which is new unsettling the party
and taking its attention from the mere
important issues upon which the presl
dential battle should be fought. Penn
sylvania has the reputation of being de
voted te n high protective tariff, and
stands se apart from many of her sister
Democratic states as te cause them te
leek upon her as a black sheep in the
Heck. And the devotion te wool shown
by the late vete of her representatives in
Uengresa in favoref the increase of duly
upon it, will net, In our opinion, tend te
remove this feeling nud permit her can
didate for president te receive the vote
in the national convention which his
distinguished merit nnd services would
etherwise Invite for him. The support
given by Mr. Handall nnd his Democratic
colleagues from Pennsylvania te the
Ohie preposition te increase the wool
duty, while it may invite te him the
vote of that state, will drive from him
mere votes than It will give him. The
vote was net in accord with the general
current of public sentiment ever the
country, as we read it, for that does net
call for an incraisa of duties even where
it does net demand a decrease. We
have regarded Mr. Handall as
holding te the conservative opinion
that the tariff should net new again Ih
tinkered, se seen after its late readjust
ment ; and this we still thluk te be his
general view ; the exception te it which
he has made in response te the Ohie de
mand for a higher duty en wool was a
concession which we de net believe
Wits politic or wise.
Pennsylvania, while standing firm in
her demand for the retention of such
rates of duty as are really needed by her
Industries', should net exhibit herself as
demanding what she can de without;
nnd her political influence with her
uhter states will be furthered by her
showing as much unselfishness as she
cm manifest while doing the banst
jtntice te heitelf.
In the present situation of her trade
nnd manufactures all she can fairly ask
is that the tariff shall be let alone ; and
she ought net te ask fur outside inter
cats what she does net demand for her
own. Tf it is right te oppose the Morri
son bill ns an unnecessary revision of the
tariff, it was wrong te support the Cen
veree preposition te raise the duty en
wool. The votes of Pennsylvania Dem
ecratic representative cast for It seem
te us te have lacked in consistency and
geed policy.
Hell Interest Everything.
These who advocate untaxed, mi
conditional and absolute free trade be
tween our nation and ethers defend their
position upon the ground that our in
terests demand It. They de net claim
it as a matter of justice te tt e people of
ether nations. We lay protective re
strictiens against free immigration and
naturalization, which they de net com
plain of. We will net allow anyene but
a native e the country te be eligible te
Its chief magistracy ; and with that they
are centeut. They think it go d for the
country te expel the Chinese t require a
five years' residence of foreigners pre
paratory te citizenship, and te bar for
eigners from the the presldmc) ; Justus
we think it a geed for the ceui.tr te liar
foreign iron from it. We want 1 1 use
ournative material for our presidents and
pig iron ; as it is, the supply of both is
far In excess of the demand. It may be
that It would be wise, since this is se, te
let in the supply of the whole world, en
the theory that it cau't be werse than it
Is, nnd may be better. But the point we
are making is that in each case it is the
balance of self interest that is called in
te decide it. If it would be better for
us, nnd worse for the foreigners te take
afeielgn president, we would all be for
taklug liltn ; just as we would all
b3 for taking foreign Iren, If we
thought It was te our Interest. Prem
which we deduce the conclusion
that the free trade statesman Is net en
titled te take en the air of peculiar
sanctity which he is went te assume and
te charge upon his protectionist adver
sary a selfishness, of which he is equally
guilty. It is the old and familiar exhi
bition of the Phntlsee that we see In
the white robed iree traders passing by
with tilted nose, the protectionist who
deea net claim his motives te be dis
interested any mere than he claims
purity for the soiled garments of his
labor.
Tint Western Union tulegruph com
pany has just borrowed a million dellaru
from the Equitable Life Insurauce com cem

bends of an lesue that was authorized
away back In 187-1, and of which, accord,
lug te the last report, Icbs than four
millions had been issued. It eeeuiH that
tlie whole of the remainder, or 2 000,000
lias been issued within this year slnce
tlie million just borrowed is mild by the
KquiUible company te be the last of the

decline te fay what they needed the
money for, and nre net pleased at the

need te borrow if they are making the
great profit they claim.

who some time age seonied a x .ii
te be known a nn administration man,
has precipitately dropped that notion as a
means of savlug himself. He will be
elected a deleg ite simply as a represeut i i

On the left slde of his head behind the ear
was a hele almost as large as a silver half

died in the night.
Jehnsen went te a F.aloen in the neigh

boy with n brick, rceeivmg a blew behind
the ear which fractured his skull. The
young murdorer'a grievance was that

the blew, dreve ever te the grand stand,
and, becoming faint, sat down en ene of

He was a trotting dilver and owuer, and
