The State Convention.
If there had been any doubt of the
sincerity of Pennsylvania's acquies
cence In the presidential candidacy of
Senator Quay that was effectually re
moved, not simply by the formal In
structions yesterday voted at Harrls
burg, but also and much more conclu
sively by the general speech of the dele
gates and of the hundreds of eminent
Republicans who attended the conven
tion In the freer capacity of spectators,
nn every hand the senator's candidacy
was received with unmistakable favor.
That there also was a sentiment of en
thusiasm for Major McKlnley was only
natural. In view of his nearness to the
people everywhere, but it was a subsi
diary except among a few active mal
contents and not a militant sentiment.
The great majority of those who held
It, readily conceded the propriety of
Pennsyivanlans standing by the Penn
sylvania candidacy as long as It shall
appear to have any possible chance of
success at St. Louis.
Apart from the presidential Issue,
yesterday's convention was unmarked
by special interest. The sudden har
monization of the state chairmanship
contest by the decision of Senator Quay
that he would himself seek to be con
tinued at the executive head of the
state committee, was paralleled in the
disposition of the various candidacies
for delegate-at-large. In every in
stance the Interests of the senator's
candidacy for president were placed
paramount. An Illustration of this was
shown in the case of Northeastern
Pennsylvania's candidate, Hon. Charles
A. Miner, of Wllkes-Barre. When it
became apparent to Mr. Miner's sup
porters that It would contribute to par
ty harmony to concede to Mr. Ueacom,
of Westmoreland, the delegateshlp for
which Mr. Miner had striven, their ac
ceptance of the conditions was prompt
and gracious. Mr. Miner's selection as
the llrst alternate was not all that had
been expected, but It was a considerable
honor, made doubly welcome by the gen
eral demonstration of respect which
went with it.
Of the platform, It Is sufllcient to say
that Its enunciation of party policy Is
clear, candid and emphatic. Tpon Its
lines victory in November will be as
sured by a majority phenomenal even
In this state of gigantic majorities.
Mayor Bailey's real purpose in the
matter of distribution of the munici
pal plums is still more obscure than the
'wit In one of Ell Perkins Jokes.
Without Reference to Europe.
In a recent Interview which has since
been widely quoted. President Roberts,
of the Pennsylvania railway, declared
with emphasis that "we should be the
m ost prosperous cp""t in tim nwiii
today were It not for the feeling of un
certainty in foreign circles as to what
,ve will do. Kngllsh or continental gold
will not come here for Investment until
some assurance Is given that our
standard will remain unchanged."
This remark elicits from The Manu
facturer the very pertinent observation
that "the earnest and patriotic men
who have reached such conclusions as
these appear to believe that prosperity
for the American people must have for
Its basis some particular condition of
European opinion respecting us and our
affairs. If this were the fact, we should
be in an unfortunate situation indeed.
To control opinion, and particularly
opinion In foreign lands, can
never be easy or certain. Thus,
It would be most distressing if,
Just as we are hoping for prosperity, a
lot of people In Europe should sudden
ly begin to entertain erroneous views
about us and at once blast our Joyous
expectations. We may hope, however,
that our welfare does not rest upon a
foundation so precarious and unstable.
The almost universal belief has been
that our fortunes are In our own hands;
that, by developing our natural re
sources, working Industriously and in
telligently, an Americans do, and de
pending upon ourselves rather than
upon foreigners, we can make large
headway.," ...
There certainly Is a largo measure of
truth In. The Manufacturer's conten
tion.' We have gone c6ntrary to Europe
In the matter of tariffs. We please our
selves and not Europeans In the policy
of adjusting our customs revenues so as
to discriminate in favor of tho Ameri
can as against the foreign manufac
turer. In an industrial tense America
has thrown down a challenge to the
iaa thrown
vorlA MM
'world, MM ha declared confidence in
her ability to stand alone. This spirit
of independence has not caused for
eigners to withdraw their American in
vestments. It has not caused an un
loading of American securities held
abroad. If anything, the more intelli
gent foreigners huve thought all the
more of us for having the grit to adopt
our economic principles to the practi
cal conditions immediately confront
ing us. Why, then, should we fear to
tut i r upon it consideration of the mone
tary question from the Ktandpoint of
American, rather than foreign. Inter
ests'." (
It la a mutter of general regr.et that
r.eorge W. Hmalloy hus not settled the
Venezuelan dispute yet. It was
thought that when Smnlley took the
case in hund the matter would be ad
justed at once, anil this delay Is pus
Kling to persons who had depended
UHn the American born Englishman
to smooth over the affair. If both
Sinalley and the Monroe doctrine prove
Inefficacious, to whom shall the nation
turn for relief? -
A Department of Commerce.
Numerous efforts have been made
during the past ten years to secure. the
enactnent of laws providing for the
establishment in the federal govern
ment of a cabinet portfolio of Indus
tries and Commerce. They failed
through lack of public support; but
since the National Association of Man
ufacturers and the National Board of
Trade have recently ci-operated In
urging this legislation upon congress,
the subject has assumed a more com
manding form.
A bill to this effect was introduced in
the senate on March 9 and referred to
the committee on commerce, where It
now rests. It provides for a cabinet
Department of Commence and Manu
factures, which shall have general Jur
isdiction over the foreign and Internal
commerce of the United States except
in so far as relates to the collection of
revenue end the administration of cus
toms an.d internal revenue laws. It
shall also huve jurisdiction over all
matters relating to manufacturing in
terests of the United States, the ex
tension of foreign markets, the In
crease of trade and trade facilities
with foreign countries, and to perform
all the functions relating to trade and
commerce in the United States that are
now performed by the Treasury de
partment. The bill provides for the
transfer from the Treasury department
to the Department of Commerce and
Manufactures of the life-suvlng ser
vice, the lighthouse board, the marine
hospital service, the bureau of steam
boat Inspection, the bureau of naviga
tion, the United States Coast and Geo
detic survey, and the bureau of statis
tics. The bureau of statistics of -the
Department of State Is also trans
ferred to the new department and con
solidated with the statistical bureau of
the Treasury department. Provlsiun
is made for the appointment by the
president of a chief of the bureau of
statistics of commerce and manufac
tures, who will perform all the duties
now Imposed upon the chiefs of the
two separate bureaus. The consular
bureau of the Department of State and
the several consular olllcers of the fed
eral government who are resident in
foreign countries and are charged with
the duty of facilitating and promoting
the commerce of the United Suites ure
transferred from the jurisdiction of
the Department of State to the Depart
ment of Commerce and Manufactures.
Whenever consular olllcers shall be re
quired to act in purely diplomatic ca
pacity they will continue to report to
the Department of State as at present.
Annunl reports and special investiga
tions of particular subjects are included
within the new department's duties.
It will be seen that the new depart
ment would start with an abundance
of duties. There is really more reason
for its creation, many times over, than
there was for the establishment of a
cabinet Department of Agriculture.
The aggregate capital invested In man
ufacturing operations hus increased at
a more rapid rate than the increase In
the value of funning property during
the pnst forty years. Thlfl Is shown
by the appended census figures:

It will be seen that while the amount of
money Invested in agriculture has In
creased four-fold during the forty years
the capitul invested in manufacturing
enterprises has been multiplied nearly
twelve times in the same period.
Hulf a century ago y the aggregate
value of all the products of manufac-
Turing industries in the United States
was only five-eights of the value of the
agricultural products. Tho growth of
industry has been so rapid, however,
that manufacturing outstripped farm
ing thirty years ugo, and the last cen
sus showed that the value of manu
factured articles was more than three
times the value of all that agriculture
yielded. Tho Jigures of lifty years are

An examination of the statistics of
the furelgn trade of the country also
shows how rapidly the manufacturing
interests have increased In Importance
In this branch of commerce. Since 1860
the exports of agricultural products
have Increased from $256,560,972 to $553,
210,026, while the value of the foreign
shipments of manufactured articles has
grown In the same time from $40,345,892
to $183,095,543. Below are given the
figures for a period of thlrty-flve years:

The foregoing figures establish be
yond question the need of a department
like that contemplated In the Frye bill.
It would be the truest . economy to
recognise this need at once, and thus
facilitate the growth of our domestlo
and foreign trade.
Clara Barton's appeals for aid to
carry on the food work of relieving the
suffering Armenians do not meet with
the response that was expected, though '
thousands of generous women and men I
have cheerfully contributed to the
fund. It Is generally noticed In such
rases that popular indignation over the
condition of the unfortunate seldom
reaches down to the pockctbook.
Mr. Paulson declines to say at pres
ent whether he would run on a free
silver ticket if nominated. This seems
to set at rest any doubts that the man
of destiny Is net prepared to leap Into
the hands of his friends at a moment's
warning.
Uncle Levi Morton's presidential
boom, like Swift's cornet, seems to have
passed perigee and is rapidly receding
beyond the range of the most powerful
telescope.

THE l'AKH)0. IX POLITICS.
"Penn," In Philadelphia Bulletin.
The making of cartoons ha within a
short time come to be a preamble culllns.
The success of such periodicals ns Puck
ami JiiiIbo shows how thoroughly the
American people enjoy pieloilj.1 tjtlro. In
tact, the ileniand for such lllustralioin Is
ni;v sci intensive that 1. is dlltlcult to
tlml cartoonists. There Is no mvre remu
nerative UulJ in comparison tu the amount
or work required than that which pre
sents It.st-lf to the very few men who can
draw earn atures with force and wit. Not
cry long ugo the professional caricatur
ists who were able In this country to can
a livelihood solely by their satirical dra
Iiirs Included frw outside of Thomas Nast,
Malt .Morgan, Frank Hellew und Thomas
Worth. Now there are prohahlv twenty
artists In this line of comic work who
earn from $3,000 to $10,000 a year, not to
speak of a multitude of raw sketchers who
furnish employment for the ruthless wood-
choppers of the dally press. The Journals I
devoted solely to cartoons have become a !
reeosnlseil soelal und political force. The
power of I'tgfk, and, latterly, of Judge In
our polities Is very greut. Every year
these papers and others like them are
drawing to themselves men of tnlent, who
study keenly the varying phases of public
opinion, and whose pencils ure moved by a
fancy such as appeals irresistibly to the
American sense of the satirical and th
ridiculous. There Is still much, very
much, crtideness and coarseness In this
art, but since Joseph Keppler came Into
the Held there has been a wonderful Im
provement In the Imaginative faculty of
the cartoonists, in the delicacy of their
wit, and the correctness of their drawings.
im
probably no one In this country did more
to make the cm-toon populur and effective
than Tnomns Nnst in the days cf his best
service with Harper's Weekly. Although
oeenslonally his familiar signature Is still
seen on a caricature, yet his work hus
been for a long time past destitute of
viitor and even of originality. It is cer
tain that there are a dozen or more cari
caturists at the present time whose work
far surpasses anything that Nust has re
cently done. In fact, Nasi, when even at
his hes-t, was not distinguished cither for
delicacy of conception or lightness of
touch. The spirit of his cartoons was
coarse and sometimes barbarous; the ex
ecution bold and startling. The whole ef
fect, barring the vigorous strokes which
hit rinht Into the very marrow of his sub-
ic-ct, was often that of slovenliness. Kvery
iody knows of the powerful Influence
which his cartoons on the old Tweed rinA
had, and how familiar the burly form und
lcorlng face of the thief became to mil
lions of people all over the country. Proh
ubly no public man In the United States
has ever been made more ridiculous by
caricatures than Horace Greeley 'Was by
Nast In the presidential campaign cf 1S72,
and for that matter, nearly all the Demo
cratic and Liberal politicians of promt
nance at that time. Week after week
ttis rough pencil scourged their foibles,
follies, oddities and vices In a fashion
which at times went almost beyond the
bounds of license. Early in the campaign,
when drawing a picture of the Liberal
convention at Cincinnati which nominated
Greeley und llrown, he was at a loss to
lincl a counterfeit presentment of the face
of the candidate for vice-president, who,
although a senator from Missouri, was not
a well-known stntesmnn. A happy idea
occurred to him. He drew a representa
tion of a tag tied to the tails of the famous
old white coat of Horace Giecly and la
beled It "B. Orats llrown." This Ingeni
ous device, which harmonized with the
Insignllii-ant character of Brown, was re
ceived with so much merriment all over
the country that It was kept up In all the
cartoons drawn by Nast during the rest
of the campaign. It has often been said
that Nast's brutal caricatures was one of
the chief causes which brought about
Greely's death thirty days after his de
feat. But the great editor had become ac
customed to rough treatment of that kind
for thirty years, and it was only the
meanness of envy that laid the blame of
his pitlablo collapse and death at Nast's
door. The campaign made Nast's fortune.
His work was sought by everybody, he
became a lecturer, and he was able to
dictate his own terms to the Harper broth
ers. Hut ever since that time he has not
produced a dozen cartoons which huve
struck the popular fancy.
Indeed, Nast. long ago was supplanted In
favor by the late Joseph Keppler, the
most remarkable cartoonist that has ever
appeared In the United States. Ho far sur
passed Nast in Originality, fertility, deft
ness of hand and lightness of style. With
the process of coloring and with his grace
of treatment he Introduced something
like an element of beauty Into the art of
caricature. His drawings in Puck were
not only full of strength and humor, but
often marked in a peculiar degree by en ex
tiHordinary richness and voluptuousness of
Imagination. It would be ditllcult to name
any caricaturist of recent years; either
In Kngland or America, whose correctness
In drawing Is united with a fancy so exu
berant. The feces of the public charac
ter in Keppler's drawings were hit off
with so much accuracy, even In their ex-'
aggeratioii, that often they are really bet
ter likenesses thun some pictures drawn
of them In all seriousness. In the presi
dential campaign of 18K4 he gathered
around him a corps of first-class cartoon
ists, allied himself wifh the antl-Blaiue
people, und carried off triumphantly the
pictorial honors of that campaign. The
picture of "the tattooed man, drawn by
41111am, one of his assistants, was u
rought, Indeed, a barbarous work, but It
was terrible In Its vividness, and was
-probahtj the most efleellve caricature
ever laid before the American public, in
fact, none of the other cartoonists on that
paper have ever succeeded in approaching
Keppler In the grace with which he made
his points and In the brilliancy of his col
oring. Lato In the campaign a New York poli
tician, one Arkell. who was a member
of the state senate, with abundance of
money, ns well as an enterprising Republi
can, caused the Judge to be Blurted as n
rival. It was not until Puck had Inflicted
the mischief thut the lllulne managers
saw what they had lost in not cnllin in
the use of the cartoon-makers. The fact
Is, thur the tattooed man In Puck had
unite as much to do with the defeat of
Blaine ns the llurchard speech or the Jay
Oonld dinner. Hut since that time JtnUe
which has been strengthened, having
drawn olf some of Puck's talent, Including
the lute Glllam. has been made what might
he culled the otllclal cartoon organ of the
Republican party. As for Harper's Week
ly and Frank Leslie, they have lost the
pre-eminence, which they once enjoyed
for their caricatures. This Is probably be
cause of the extreme difficulty In finding
men whose work can be admitted into
their columns. -
Mitchell, the owner' of that bright and
pleasing weekly, Life, has drawn some
excellent caricatures of a kind, Intended
for people of tante, who delight in seeing
the weaknesses of our social life hit off
with grace and spirit. He has been espe
oinllv happv In his cartoons, which have
a Parisian brightness of style on social
upsturts, Anglomanlaes and theatrical fol
lies. De Grimm, of the New York Tele
gram, was an Importation of James Gor
don Bennett, nnd treated a wide variety
of sublects with n Callln fancy, but with
little force. McDoiignll. of the New York
World, who Is unusually fertile In humor
In a varied range of topics, Is foremost
among tho very few men who write ns well
ns ilruw, ami do both brilliantly. Taylor,
Klmmerman, Frost, Rogers, Hyde, Van
Schalck, Sterner, Herford nnd Onper have
been nmong the most noteworthy of the
contributors to the comic periodicals.
They have driven out the old school of
cnrlcaturlsls who found their models In

fluous behind the times. The power which
they now have Is greater than It has ever
been, greater even thn the power of Gib
ray und Chum and Leech and Tenniel: for
not fewer than a million copies of their
pictures are spread every week through
out the large cities to ten times as many
people, who eagerly scan thet.i, lough at

Always beautiful, more so
thU soason than ever before;
solt as a mossy bank, bright
as a meadow in June. Many
of them have borders to
match. Pay you to give them
careful inspection.

Some joiutless, some cord
warn, souio nlaia. some fan-
cy, and all good. They're
made of good live straw;
they're flexible and don't

. dried-out sorts. What a cool,
