T11IJ CiJWAGO CAYDWATI9. For the presklcntinl noniimnllon nt Chicago the element that Is umow prnctl- ally certnin to control the convention IIIIA thnue ovoved caulidates , who have received the endorsement of their state couventluns. These nro ex Cmlgress- mmlu lalnntl of iIlssou I , ex Governor holes of loan and Senator Biuckburn of Kentucky. As to the latter he can hardly be regarded as a possibility , eldefiy for the reason tlmat lie is not classed among time leading cxpotlents of time free silver policy. While probably imaving as much ability as the 111ssnorl free silver emulldate , Mr. Bland , time latter Is a veteran In time emtuso s'hio lion persistently labored for it during twenty years or leuger au8 whose nnme is spicunlsly NemtiOed with legislation in time Interest of sliver. Mr. Iilaehburn's effective work for sliver bns 1)0011 Coil- hued to lcummtueky. Ifesldes this , ho has little to rceomnniend himmi as a presl dentin ) cnndidntr , Jt . Iil0ull is flp parenlly mint being nlnch tilollglmt of otmt side of Missouri amid 'Veit in that state there is 111110 manifestation of interest 111 him , Ills friends reasonably urge that lme is time logical camididnie if the unbound couveution is do minmited by the free sliver mneu , but this does not seoul to make any very strong or extended hupresslml. ' 1'be inferenee Is that there is a great deal of doubt aboutt the Misr souirinu's availability with time supporters - porters of ( rite silver who are not denio- cents , but who it is expected will be drawn to the support of a free silver candidate. 7'hc leaders Of the clement ) thick expects to nntke the plntforul anti nominate time candidate at Chicago dc- sire a 1111111 who will be likely to attract populists nod free silver republicans. I x Goveruor Boles w'onld undoubtedly be n more available candlddtl' than either lilaud or Itlnckbulu and lie probably has a better clm nice tbnu either of securing - curing the noumilaatlon , but be is not be. lug as nau'im talked of now as he was a few lveeks ago by those who will have a great deal to do with slmnping events at Clmlcago , It Is quite possible that there will be repeated at Chicago time history of 1572 , tVieu time democrats euidorsed the nonil- nation of Ifo'nce Groeley by Chic fur d0pendent republican eonvcuitiom , hoping thereby to attract cltotgli republican votes from Grant to defeat hint. There is a movement to make Senator Teller time candidate of the Chicago convention and if time Colorado senator is willing the move- nment Is not unhikely 1o tithe on great strength. It is said that seine very earnest work is being ( lone to press the clnhn of Senator Teller for time Chicago nondnatlou. ' 'hose who are dolmig this urge that bis popularity In the west would carry for uny ticket whieh he headed time electoral votes of nearly every repuhlicai slate west of the 'itis- ' ' that his nomina- snarl river. 1'hoy say fout tvolldl be endorsedby the populist , coiveutiou nud 1)y the cnnventiot of the natlonal sliver party , both of which will uteet subsequent to time convention at Chicago. 'l'imey urge , above all , that Senator Teller stands for time embodi- nie11t of time free silver idea and that his nomidnatiot would arouse enthusbdsm for that idea in all time states west of the Alleghenies. So fur as time Colorado senator is concerned , there Is little 1'085011 to doubt that lie would accept n notnluntion at the hands of time free silver - ver deniocats. All he is as a public mall h0 owes to time republican party and he will go into the St. Tools cotven- tlon a5 a delegate of lint party , but lie has udrtsathy auiounced his deterumintion : to desert time party if it declares for time gold stauhrd. If , therefore , time free silver deutoeats wet Mr. Teller they may he assured of two things-that he will be given the opportunity to withdraw - draw from the republican party aid that he will accept a noutiitniion at timeir hanls. ( If the Chicago convention Simouid nondmiale Teller the democracy wouhil be nlorotoverwimelmingly beaten than It was with (7reelov ( in 1872 and wotid hnve less chauee thou It then had of surviving its defeat. 711E co n'iCT LAIwf I'ROIJLE.IJ One of time most perplexing problems with which time .contimmg legislature -till have to deal is the management of the peultottia'y amid the disposition of the labor of the convicts.

On this some Time lice \111 have more to say ha duo thus , Recording to reports that reach us from the smite capital , the convict labor peeblcln Is already forcing Itself to the front.

This sitmtion presents features whielm will require discreet banning on the part of time state authorities. If time contractors' bonds are what they ought to be time state will suffer no loss.

A STRICRRN 18'DUSTRP. Senator Dlorrill said In his recent spceclm hum the senate that time democratic tariff lmas made simeip husbandry no longer successful in any American state and this most attractive national imi- dustry , if free trade supporters ] mold the power , is to be wholly and forever abandoned and extluguished. "Now , " said time senator , "while time woolen mills of Great Britain are busy and have nothluig to couuplaln of , lucre in time IJnited States it is differeuit. " Time statistics of wool imports sloww how time industry of wool growing in this country has been stricken. The imports - ports of woo ) In time year ending June 0 , 189"a , were ° _ 06,000,000 , pounds. Time first nine months of time present fiscal year show Imports of very nearly 200- 000,000 pounds , assuring a total for time twelve months largely in excess of that of time preceding fiscal year. In a letter to IIon Ifichnrd P. Blu id of Missouri , Mr. Moreton Frewen , an En ; ; iislm free sllverite and free trader , referring - ferring to the depression in Australia , said that but for free wool In our tariff the situation of Australia must by this time have been desperate. Not oni' has time production of wool in Australia lutgely increased during time last few years , but time price lugs fallen 60 per cent , so that America11 wool growers imave been suibjected by time present tar- 1ff to this destructive compotitlon , tor getimer with that from other wool-grow- lug countries , and this is not mill , for the democratic tariff has encouraged nn clormous importation of siudddy , displacing to that extent how-grown wool. It may not be creditable to American mauufaetnrers that they use this adulterant a > , d counterfeit , but they may fluid some pallintiou for doing so in the greatly lacreased competition of foreign woolen goods. At time beginning of 1801 time number of slmecp in time Uulted' ' States was over 17,000,000 , vahred at Xl25,000,000. In two years there was a loss of over 6,000,000 sheep and time value of those rclnnitiug was reduced on&lmlf. It is. . needless to say that there has been no improvement in this industry since and timero will not be wlmile time present tariff law condoles In force.
