THH Now -Orleans Picayune makes
the following apt remarks on the subject
joct of the grain trade and barge
transportation :
The magnitude which the grain
movement down the Mississippi will
eventually attain may bo inferred
from the fact that in throe states ,
whoso export trade must como this
way , the cereal crops nro now in ox.
cess of the total exports of the United
States. Missouri must certainly find
her natural market at St. Louis.
Kansas is located nearly as far from
Chicago as _ from Now Orleans , and
Nebraska is nearer the Gulf than the
Atlantic seaboard. These throe
atutcs produced last year 50,141,000
bushels of wheat nnd 370,000,000
bushels of corn. The surplus from
those states , at presoiit available , with
cheap freights , would suffice to load
J,500 vessels of 1,000 t ons burden

THE BARGE CONVENTION.
The Missouri llivcr Improvement
convention which convened yesterday
in Council Uluffs opened its session
under the most flattering auspices.
Every important city bordering on the
banks , of the Missouri between Yank-
ton nnd SI. Louis li represented ,
Among the delegates ore men of na
tional reputation in the senate and
house of representatives whoso views
upon questions of public policy nnd
especially upon the subject in hand
are of the highest importance to the
West. Senators McDill , of Iowa ,
Saundcra and Van Wyck , of Nebraska ,
Governor Ocar , of Iowa , ox-Congress
man Hogan , of Missouri , nnd other
prominent citizens of the west are in
attendance to voice the will of the great
Missouri valley. The proceedings of
the oponinq day wore of unusual in
terest , and give rich promise of the
practical' results of the convention.
In such gatherings the oXerciscs , as a
rule , have heretofore been dull , com
monplace and uninteresting. The
first day's session of the Council
IMufTe convention was the
direct opposite of this general
rule. From beginning to close
every speech was pithy , filled with
facts of the highest interest and im
portance nnd directly to the point.
Senator M'Dill , of Iowa , made per
haps the most brilliant speech of the
day. lie is always an interesting
talker , but yesterday ho seemed to * ex
cel himself. The deep earnestness of
his remarks , illustrated 1 > y his fervid
eloquence , shows that river improve
ment will have a most forcible advocate -
cato in the national somite.
Governor Gear , who has always
been sound on most questions of public
impoi tanco and whose speech nt Daven
port on the Honnopin canal project was
universally commented upon , deliver
ed an able address in which ho ex
pressed himself as heartily in favor of
.ill projects which would tend to
cheapen transportation nnd bring the
markets of the world nearer to the
producers.
The speech of ox-Congressman Ho-
nan , of Missouri reminded ono of the
palmy days of oratory in the
republic when men of giant
ability like Webster , Clay
nnd Benton wore hoard in both houses
of congress. No ono knows bettor
than Mr. Hogan the necessity of river
improvement or the capabilities of wa
ter route transportation nnd his able
address was received with manfcsta-
tions of pleasure by the convention.
Senator Saunders evidently spoke
by the card in his address which was
eminently sound in its conclusions
and full of facts nnd figures. The
Senator had evidently nropared him
self very carefully as to the cost of the
projected improvements nnd the most
available means of bringing the water
routes into practical competition with
tho. railroads , as lines of transporta
tion.
tion.Of
Of the other address it is sufficient
to say that they wore of unusual in
terest to every producer in the Mis
souri valley , replete with informa
tion nnd presented in a manner which
maintained unflagging attention from
the entire convention. At another
time , THE BEE hopes to take them up
moro in detail and comment upon the
invaluable statistics which they con
tain. For the present it must contonl
itself with congratulating Counci
Bluffs , the convention , and the various
states represented over the already
assured success of the meeting in ou
neighboring city.
THE NEW YORK CANDIDATES
Mr. Plait's principal opponent ii
the Albany convention is Chaunco ;
M. Dopow , one of the oldest lawyer !
of the Empire state , nnd for years pas
n corporation attorney. THE BEE line
no hesitation in saying that Mr. Do
pew is not such n man as it would lik
to BOO filling a place in the Unitoi
States sonnto. It would much profe
to see iv man chosen as the successoi
to Mr. riatt whoso associationsstudici
and modes of thought on question
touching the relations of corporation !
to the public had been on th
aide of the people rathe
than on the aide of th
railroads. Mr. Dopow isanunusuall ,
nblo nnd eloquent man , He is nu :
bitious to shine in public lifo. H ;
friettds assure the legislature that
elected to the senate he will sever h :
relation with corporate interests , an
endeavor to represent the state
< Now York with us much fidelity as h
has heretofore displayed for the rai
; roads. Such an assurance in the case
of n senatorial candidate should bo
superfluous , and it is unfortunate
for Mr , Dopow that it is
< necessary. Between Mr. Conk-
ling nnd Mr , Dopow THE BEE
is free to admit that it would , nil
things being equal , prefer Mr. Conk-
ling. This is not , however , the issue ,
Mr. Dopow is the opp'onont of Thomas
0. Platt , who is far more closly iden
tified with corporation interests than
Mr. Dopew , while greatly his inferior
in character and ability. The stalwart
opposition to Mr. Dopow shows the
dishonesty of their anti-monopoly professions -
fessions when they fail to put in nom
ination against him some other candi
date against whom the same objections
cannot bo urged. Mr , Platt is open
to every objection which is
brought forward against Mr. Do-
pew , Ho is open to the still
further objection of having proved
himself n more puppet in the hands of
the opponents of the administration.
Ho is without parliamentary ability
and lacking in mental calibre. Ho
has not the slightest claim to bo re
garded as an opponent of monopolies
and nny pretense of the kind is noth
ing but a flimsy veil to cover the real
design of his supporters.
The anti-monopoly issue nt Albany
docs not enter into the canvass.
Among Mr. Cenkling's stalwart sup
porters in the legislature are men
whoso record during the past season
has shown them to bo active workers
in the interests of the corporations.
A largo majority of the assemblymen
clasred among the anti-administration
members voted against the railroad
commissioners bill and in favor of the
several corporation steals which were
lobbied through the last session. On
the other hand among the opponents
of Mr. Conkling arc a number of the
strongest anti-monopolists in the state.
The anti-monopoly press of Now York
ia almost unanimous in its opposition
to the return of both senators , and the
Now York lime1 , which the railroads
certainly will not accuse of leaning to
wards the monopoly side , leads the
anti-Conkling forces.
The real issue nt Albany is whether
the rule or ruin policy of Mr. Conk-
ling shall bo endorsed nny longer by
the peonlo of the Empire state. It is
of the highest importance to the people
plo of the United States that those
opposed to that policy should unite to
overthrow it. And if Mr. Dopow is
the only available man who can bo
placed in opposition to Mr. Platt as a
candidate to voice the real sentiments
of Now York republicans , ho should
bo supported and elected ,
SAUCE FOR THE GOOSE
Paterson , Now Jersey , is in a fever
of excitement over the attempted en
forcement last Sunday of the famous
Blue Law , which prohibits the trans
action of nny secular business on the
Sabbath day nnd provides a heavy fine
for all violation of the law.
For some months past the liquor
dealers of that city have boon made
the victims of ft rigid enforcement of
the law , and on Thursday of last week
three hundred of them hold a mass
mooting and determined that other
trades besides their -own should
have the benefit of the
ibnoxious measure. A resolution
ras passed to close nil dram shops on
unday and to see that the Sunday
aws wore obeyed as far as possible by
ivory business interest in the place ,
, nd committees were appointed to
; ather , coidonco personally against
ffondors and punish them in the
ourts. It was determined to stop
.ho keeping open of cigar and con
'cctionary stores , the runniin : of milk
agons , the hiring of carriages from
ivory stables or the running of street
ailroads nnd mills. Notice was
lostod in conspicuous places through-
nt the city , warning all persons that
, ny infraction of the law would bo
prosecuted witout fear or favor and
, nd that no line of trade oould bo se
cure from its provisons.
Sunday in Paterson , according to
all accounts , was a rather melancholy
day. The first inconvenience that was
elt was the lack of milk. Several ,
milkmen who attempted to make the
rounds were promptly arrested. Mer
chants rushed from one news stand to
another in search of the Now York
morning papers , only to find them
closed. Three cigar stores braved the
law nnd wore served with warrants of
arrest. The barbers closed their doors
and hundreds of unshaven customers
alternately cursed the law and
liquor sellers. It was impossible
to got a meal at a restaurant
in the city , and thirsty citizens
wore forced to drink the
dirty wnter of the Pasaaie every grog
shop having put up its shutters and
barred its side entrances.
In the meantime , the liquor dealers
filled their headquarters nnd all day
long1 received reports from different
portions of the town as to the obser
vance of the law throughout the city.
The sauce which numerous citizens
thought excellent medicine for the
liquor dealers proved to bo very
bitter when npplicd to themselves ,
and Paterson became tthoroughly dis
gusted with n rigid observance of the
Sunday law for which they had been
BO anxious a few weeks previously.
Nearly ono hundred complaints
wore Hworn out by members of 'the
liquor dealers association against va
rious parties for violations of the law ,
among which were ten liquor dealers
who did not work with the majority
of the association , the Putorson rail
road company , two milk men , four
barbers and six candy stores. The
whole affair very conclusively proved
that if once understood the best way
to defeat n bad law is to attempt He
enforcement.
THE Albany investigation , which it
dragging out its Blowlongth , has lost
its interest to the mass of readers.
From the very outset it has boon
plain that the object of the promoters
of the investigation was to make sena
torial capital for the stalwart candi ai il
dates. The prosecution .has closed l , ,
and the defense , which was anxious
to present its case , has boon forced tc
postpone its evidence until Thursday.
"Mr. Bradley has not succeeded y.in
making by any moans a strong case , " i
says the Now York jPt'mej.
Thus f < ir the allegation of Mr. Bradley
rests entirely upon his own unsup
ported word. And while his friends
nave loft no stone unturned in their
endeavors to procure corroborative
evidence , the only particle of testi
mony in that direction is Mr , Sessions'
admission that ho did have an intor-
jew ! with Mr. Bradley on the evening
"when that gentleman swears that an
assault was made upon his virtue.
The attempt to trace back the alleged
bribe money to individuals lias only
proved that many persons in Albany
have comfortably fat bank balances.
On the other hand , Mr. Bradley , who
has stumbled from the first in his tes
timony , has been obliged to correct
himself , and to mend his story in sev
eral places. The unreasonable expan
sion of the case , which is duo to its
being taken possession of by the law
yers , has prevented the hoped for
conclusion of the business this week.
It is not now certain that the case
will bo concluded by next Saturday.
A special cablegram to the Chicago
Times from their London correspon
dent gives an interesting picture of
the radical movement in England to
wards land reform nnd an extension of
the elective franchise to the agricul
tural laborers. Under the present
electoral law in England there is lodg
ing suffrage in the burroughs , i. c. , the
inhabitant who pays rent to the
amount of 10 a year is entitled to
vote , while in the counties the fran
chise is confined to 5 lessees and
12 occupiers. As agricultural labor
ers ( who rarely get moro than from 8
to 10 shillings a week ) only pay nt
most G a year rent , they are utterly
disfranchised just now. Mr. Joseph
Arch , the radical leader , has written
to Mr. Gladstone , asking when
the government intended to con
fer the same privileges on
the counties in respect to the
franchise as was now enjoyed by the
boroughs. Mr. Gladstone , in a very
courteous note , replied that n bill
would bo prepared during the recess
and made a piece de resistance for
next session. This assimilating of
borough and county franchise will , it
is estimated , increase the radical
strength in the counties at least GO
percent. , and should it pass both
houses would bo a death blow to any
hopes of conservative success in the
future.
Ilural England is no longer filled
with the happy homes of former days.
In seine counties nearly CO per cent ,
of the land is out of cultivation ; in all
farms may bo rented for the taxes.
Property is a drug and rent rolls are
'
rapidly diminishing. In olden'times
every Englishman who had made
money hi business invested it in land
ed property , with the object of found
ing a family dynasty. The East In
dians the nabobs as they wore called
spent fabulous sums in the good old
days of the rotten boroughs in acquir
ing estates , which brought with them
seats in parliament , nnd in later times
the cotton lords and other capitalists
of industry sunk their fortunes in the
manor , assured of n personal income
and a contented tenantry. All this belongs -
longs to a past ago.
The tenant , manacled by feudal cus
toms and oppressed by tithes and big
rents , is unable to face American
competition and live , and abandons
the farm to swell the angry mob in the
boroughs. The laborer is no longer
satisfied to live from hand to mouth
and enjoy the "bliss of ignorance ,
Ho wants land of his own , and
threatens to take it if it is not given
to him. Ho belongs to a union con
trolled by active proganganists , of
rccalism ; and insists on the franchise ,
not as a favor , but as a right of which
the 'squico and the parson have de
frauded him through all these years.
The clergy do not faro much bettor
than the squires. Tithes are paid
grudgingly. Hedge has become adis-
sonter as well as a radical , nnd the roll
of the drum ecclesiastic , which used
to frighten him , has lost its terrors ,
The lords , the natural guardians of the
church , are powerless to stay the tide
that is washing out the foundations ol
'
'the establishment , for can they hope
to Bavo in England the rights of prop
erty which in Ireland have already
gone by the board ? Solicitors tell mo
that for every man who wants to pur
chase an estate there are a hundrec
ready to snap at half a bid. Whore
all this is going to end the wisest mei
hero are at a loss to know. The liar
vest prospects have been somowha
improved by copious showers , but a
best it will fall below the average.
THE anti-monopoly humbugs in Nc
braska , including the farmers' nil !

for foisting a few political dead boat
into olllce , do not sopm to bo sound
ing the alarm very vigorously over tlu
alleged devilish designs of Jay GouU

Vindication.
larpcrs Weekly.
Mr Conkling's friends say that ho
csigned in order to give the Legisla-
uro a chance to vindicate him , which
ncans to apprpvo his course. A
irompt and practically unanimous re-
lection was therefore essential to
vindication. There could bo no vin-
lication without it. What , then , are
ho facts ? The overwhelming major-
ty of the Republican party , speaking
vitli its unanimous press , with three
or four exceptions , instantly and un-
onditionally condemned his course ,
md of 150 Republican members of
; ho Legislature , /najority of whom
ire "Stalwarts , " thirty-fivo only ,
'otod to return him to the Senate.
That is the disastrous result of Mr.
lonkling's appeal for vindication ,
lo has been formally and emphatic
ally repudiated by the Republicans ot
Now York.
And why ? For what conduct did
10 ask the approval of the party ? For
ho greatest and most unpardonable
) ffonse that a party man could corn-
nit , namely , causelessly and selfishly
nd childishly betraying the senate
nto the hands of the democrats. His
xcuso was that the president had bro-
cen faith with him. Of course with
i president whom ho had openly ac-
used of foul play ho could honco-
orth have no friendly relations. To
ask for "vindication" or approval ,
.herefore , was to seek from republi
cans n commission to fight the repub-
ican administration. It was to ask
: hat ho bo personally sustained
against the organized ropub-
ican party. This incredible
erection of himself into a political
dogma , at the cost of the rupture of
, ho republican party , explains the ro-
cction of Mr. Conkling's candidacy
> y journals hitherto faithfully devot
ed to him , like the Troy Times and
; he Elmira Advertiser and the Bufl'a-
o Express. They have all shown the
nest loyal admiration of Mr. Conk
ing , but they are republican , and
; hey could not make Mr. Conkling
; heir party as against the republican
larty. To support him was to do
.hat. It was to sustain him in resign-
ng because ho was in a minority of
ono or two in the senate , and because
; ho president chose to exercise an in
disputable constitutional discretion in
a way that Mr. Conkling did not liko.
It has been urged that as the logis-
aturo has refused to vindicate Mr.
Jonkling , and as it has been made
evident to the country that a majority
of two-thirds has steadily pronounced
against him , ho ought , with repubii-
can loyalty , to accept the decision ,
and , by withdrawing his name , to
allow a republican senator to bo
jlected. But those who say this
know neither the character of Mr.
Conkling's republican loyalty notof
his regard for majorities. Ho aban
doned the senate to the democrats
rather than yield to an overwhelming
majority of his republican colleagues ,
and ho shirked tno vote upon the
Louisiana returns when the
continued power of the republican
publican party depended upon the
approval of the report of the elect
oral commission. Ho was very urgent
to bind everybody in the Chicago con
vention to support the candidatewhen
he thought that ho was going to nomi-
nnto his favorite. But his own sup
port of General Garfipld was exceed
ingly tardy and torpid. Mr. Conk
ling is for "regularity" when ho con
trols the organization , and for obe
dience to the majority when ho is sure
of the majority , That is to say , ho
is , under all circumstances , for Mr.
Conkling , It would bo n kind of loy
alty to republican harmony nnd to the
party welfare which ho has never
shown to withdraw his name from the
senatorial contest simply because it is
demonstrated that the oveawhelmin ,
rcpublicoil majority is against his ro
election. In the various political con
tests in which ho has been engaged
success in the particular endeavor , b ;
any means whatever , has been the objective
jectivo point. But success in an ;
true sense has been impossible in th'
present contest from the beginning
Air. Conkling has lost his power am
his prestige , nnd his assumption of a
peculiar republican loyalty lias beci
thoroughly exposed. As we said las
week , lie may somehow compass a re
election , but he has boon unmasked.
Immigration.
New York Post ,
The conservative members of the
Gorman Reichstag who , as is roportei
asked the government to "try to di
rect the enormous stream of Ger
man emigration to the Danubian reg
ions instead of to America , " showec
very plainly that they fail to appreciate
ciato the motives which govern the
movements of emigrants. Emigratioi
nay bo directed as to its objective
point by n government or by private
igoncies at its beginning ; but when it
ms been going on for some time it
will direct itself. The most powerful
uttraction which brings the enormous
treams of Gorman emigration to the
United States consists in the largo
lumber of Germans already hor9 and
heir general prosperity. It is thought
> y some that emigration from Euro
pean countries to this is very much
timulnlod by ngents sent there from
lore nnd by pamphlets and newspaper
oports nboiit the resources of tins
jontinent. Although something maybe
bo accomplished in that way , yet iUs
omparativily very little Artificial
imitation is generally of small effect.
L'ho principal power of attraction is
exorcised by immigrants who have
> ecn living in this country for some
imo and who are writing letters to
heir friends nnd relatives in the Old
World. Such letters arc the real and
most effective emigration agents. They
\TQ with the greatest confidence do-
) ended upon as to the statements of
act they contain , and the ndvico they
a'ivo is heeded by those to whom they
\ro addressed , not only ns to the gen-
sral advantages of emigration but as
o the point whore tl'.o emigrant should
jo. But those letters contain in many
, nsos something stronger than mere
idvico. Wo learn that _ ono of the
jiorman steamship companies received
hrough its agents in diilcront parts of
ho United States during the months
> t January , February , March , April
and the first three weeks of May
xbout 8175,000 tickets bought by Gor-
nan residents in this country and sent
o their relatives and friends in Gor-
nany to cover their passage from Gcr-
nany to this side of the Atlantic. The
ithcr Gorman steamship company has
) oen doing fully ns well , nnd a larno
imount of money has undoubtedly
'or the same purpose been sent
hrough banking houses inthis and
other cities.
Thus emigration from Europe is not
inly stimulated and directed , uut it is
natorially nnd most effectively aided
> y the immigrants of former years.
Jndcr such circumstances it is natural
hat the volume of immigration should
n a great measure depend upon the
; eneral state of material prosperity in
his country. Whatever dissatisfaction
hero may bo in Germany or Ireland
vith the political .and social condition
) f things there , and .whatever attrac-
ivcness there may bo in the free in-
titutions of this republic , it is a fact
hat when times are bad hero , as dur-
ng the years following the collapse of
873 , the letters going from hero to
ho old countries are not cheerful and
nviting , and immigration will fall off ;
mt when , as at present , everybody in
his country feels prosperous andhopo-
ul and there is plenty of money to
pare for the traveling expenses of
riends and relatives , the letters going
abroad will carry encouraging advice ,
accompanied by drafts or passage
ickotSj and immigration will become
idiat it is to-day. The emigration
agency consisting in this correspon-
lence cannot bo controlled or diverted
rom its purpose by any government ,
[ n this respect the United States do
ind will , as far as wo can see , remain
vithout a rival , whatever efforts may
) o made to divert the steam of emipra-
ion elsewhere.
