The victory of

pe_co celebrated at Poughkeepsie ye.._-_i(lay,however, shines with undiminished lustre a

century after it pa.*.d into history; and, in¬deed, has grown in significance with every J carof prosperity enjoyed by the Nation to whichNew-York State brought so much in promiseand baa contributed so much in fiiliilmcnt.liv giving her adhesion to the ConstitutionMew-York stemmed a dissatisfaction whichB~ the time augured ill to the organic law of

the new Nation under which tho United States

has become " tho land of the free and the homoof the brave."- It is well to keep tho memoryif *irh events green by anniversary celebra¬tions.Tho testimony of tho Italian Vice-Consul

before tho Congressional Committee, engagedin investigating tho evils of immigration is

timely and interesting reading. It is scarcelyto bo wondered at that the steamship com¬

panies lind ready takers for their tickets ina country where a laborer earns 25 cents a

day and " keeps'5 himself, and where a fearof bad crops or the shadow of the war eloodmakes hundreds of thousands annually thovictims of the conscienceless agent and " bank¬er." Tho picture which Signor Monaco drawsof tho impositions practised on Italian immi¬grants by tho middlemen who open the doorsof tho American Haven of Refugo to them isa woful one and red with the blood of suffer¬

ing. If Italy wero a kinder mother to her

children she would seek strenuously to bettertheir condition at homo, or failing in that, senda little more than $1,000 to relievo the miserywhich results from their precipitate crowdinginto New-York.

A TIMELY ISVEXTIGATWN.Senator Cullom's resolutions respecting tho

purchase of American railways by tho CanadianPacific are timely and judicious. That foreignmonopoly hal engaged in a most formidahlowarfare upon rival American lines which are

regulated hy tho Interstato act, and has suc¬

ceeded in diverting American commerce fromnational channels. Legislation is urgently re¬

quired in defence of American interests men¬

aced hy tho Canadian Pacific, which in effectis the Dominion Government on wheels. Theinvestigation called for by the resolutions<)ii!_lit to have been ordered several months ago.The Democratic Administration has been de¬liberately surrendering American trade to thisforeign monopoly, and Congress has done noth¬ing to protect national interest*.Tho Canadian Pacifio Railway was laid

through a trackless wilderness by the ex¬

penditure of an enormous Government sub¬sidy. As originally designed, it was a ruinousspeculation, tho country through which ibpassed being sparsely populated and localtraffic heine insignificant. It was a politicalrailway planned as a means of binding to¬

gether thc provinces of tho Dominion. Whenit was completed the Canadian officials per¬ceived the advantage of putting it on a soundfinancial hasis af Tho expense of tho TintedStates. Their first step was to secure controlof a line of steamers plying between Vancouverand San Francisco, and to obtain authorityfrom Washing)!on to ship goods under bondby way of Winnipeg to Chicago, Now-Yorkand other American cities without payment ofduty. This privilege was granted as a gratuity,and the Canadian Pacific was at once enabledto cut under tho American continental lines,whoso business was regulated by tho Interstateact. At the samo timo four steamers, aidedby an enormous subsidy from Great Britainand Canada, wero to compete with an Ameri¬can line in carrying merchandise across thePacific from China and Japan, so as to forcethc Yankees to import their tea from Winni¬peg. Having thus opened a way for formid¬able competition with American railways andcommerce, the foreign monopoly made arrange¬ments for tapping the Knited States at manypoints along the frontier and diverting businessto the Canadian trunk lino. Railways wero

projected across Northern Maine, through thoAdirondacks, and along tho northern shoreof Lake Superior. The Sault Sto, Marie hav¬ing been bridged, the new railways runningto Duluth and Minneapolis havo been pur¬chased aa feeders for tho Canadian Pacific.

It is folly for the Americans to close theireyes to the fact that Canada, with the assist¬ance of Great Britain, is becoming every year

. j more formidable competitor for the commercee.f the continent. Her political railway hassnatched from the American trunk lines muchof their transportation business, and alon-, thoborder ils feeders aro running directly into our

markets. On the Atlantic seaboard New-Eng¬land fishermen aro harassed and denied theircommercial rights, while on the Pacific war¬

fare is boldly declared upon American com-

ni'M-ce, and l.squimault is fortified as a placed'armes and an open menace to San Francisco.The Senators have acted wisely in orderingan investigation that will direct the attentieme*f tho country to all theso important matters.The discreditable treaty which the Administra¬tion has made with Great Britain serves toenforce the argument for moro aggressiveni'.:tsures in defence of American rights andinterest.. The Republican platform, by itsdenunciations of pusillanimous diplomacy andits declarations respecting tho Isthmus andNicaragua canals, stands for a revival of thoMonroe Doctrine and tho supremacy of Ameri¬can influence on this continent. Democracycares for none of theso things.

TIIE STANDING ROCK CONFERENCE.Tho outlook for tho opening of tho Sioux

Reservation is not at this moment very bright.The Indian*, under the stimulus of the oratoryof their leaders, have presented almost a solidfront of opposition to the Government proposi¬tion, and, unfortunately for the latter, theyhave been strengthened in their resistance bytho bringing forward of too many instancese>f white perfidy in the past. They take theground that however advantageous the termsnow offered them may appear, they have no

guarantee that the provisions of the treatyproposed will be carried cut in good faith.It is. of course, exceedingly humiliating fortho Commissioners to be told this, bpt tho realDanae for humiliation does not consist in theIndian st ate mr-nts, Imt in tho fact that theyire substantially well founded. Tho evasionof Indian treaties heretofore has been so com¬

mon that a lorn'gner might be excused forsupposing it to f*>rm a premeditated feature inthc national policy. The Indians, who in thetig-*) of the past can hardly be said to be quickp. susi,- t and mistrust the Great Father, havolime.*! been forced to this conclusion.

It is evident that this is a state of mind on

he part of thc Sioux which militates stronglyigainst the object the Commissioners have be-"oro them. It. (.-innot mai! much for them tolemonstrate that thc new treaty promises ____.

y, io long as the red men decline to believeii the goe.el faith of the promise-,. Tho Sioux.ay that every time a change has been pro-K.sed te> thi'iu it has boon for tho worse; thathe comp.ri*ation pledged to them for sacri-ices has been withheld: that white men havemea P__UI__-8<1 to lake their lands; that, gen-¦rally speaking, their interests have beenleulected. This is one reason why they look-vi th suspicion and disfavor upon the severalty.< lie-Hi"". It ap] "aM to them a plan for firstliminishing their estate and then taking away¦that remains in driblets. No doubt, failing..ireful protection of their intfjrests, this is whatvould or at lex*t might happen. But the.doux are just now ho.tilc to the opening ofhe reservation because they think they cannotrust the Government to fu 1li I its promises,t remains to he seen whether the Commission-88 will be Kuc~-cssftil in overcoming this byio means altogether unreasonable apprehea-

sion. So far they do not seem to havo mademuch progress.

HIE essence 09 1MB MILLS HIL!.

The host, because iho only complete, illus! ta-

tion of tha purposes which have governed (lie

I-resident and the Democratic party in framingand passing tho Mills bill is its treatment <>f

the duties on wool and woollens. The duties

paid on all articles of this class in 1887 amount¬

ed to |I6,629.114, the leeland value of all

such imports being |60,686,614, and the aver-

ago rate of duty nearly 59 per ccjit. But Dem¬ocratic perversions of the law in thc interestof free trade, and hostile Treasury rulings in¬

spired l*y Free Traders and fore'n importers,have already opened tho doors undervalua¬tions, both of wool and woollens, so great, thatthe actual value of imports was at least$70,000,000, and tho actual rato of duty paidabout li per cent.The ponding hill proposes to take off the

duties entirely from raw wool, valued at

jil fi.351.370 last year, and from shoddy, rags,mungo and flocks, and tho many fraudulentforma of manufacture included tu* "waste," ofwhich tho value imported last year was

$l,855,fil8. Thus $18.2 0*;.~rf8 in declaredvalue of wool and "wasfe,"' which paid lastyear Sffi.Sno.O.-ir. duties, would bo admittedfree of duty, besides tho vastly increased quan¬tities and values which would be imported in

consequence of the removal of duty. Deduct¬ing raw wool and " waste,"' the declared valueof other manufactures of wool imported lastyear was <F42,37 0.G2G, on which the duty paidwas $2 0,2 30,47 9, or nearly 7 0 per cent. Thopending hill proposes to reduce theso duties to4 0 per cent ad valorem; that is, to cut offth ree-se von ths of tho existing prot~.tion, be¬

sides making fraudulent undervaluations easy

by the substitution of ad valorem for specificduties.The excuse for this tremendous change in

tho very basis upon which ono of the greatestindustries of tho country has heen built up, is

that cheaper raw material would enable themanufacturer to produce cheaper goods by at

least 35 per cent. This assertion is distinctlymade by tho chief advocate*, of the bill. Butthe same men actually havo the hardihood to

tell thc wool-grower that a removal of dutyfrom wool would mako that product commanda higher price: that is. the cost of tho domesticmaterial would be increased te> tho manufact¬urer, and not diminished 35 por cent. Ho now

consumes about threo pounds of domestic for

ono pound of foreign wool; if the threo poundsof domestic wool are to be dearer, the foreignwool must be imported at less than no 008. at

all in order to make the aggregato cost of ma¬

terials 35 per cent lower, or elso there must be

a great increase in tho foreign and a great de¬crease In tho domestic wool consumed, whichnecessarily means a decreaso in tho value ofdomestic wool and of sheep.At the very threshold, then, this bill appears

to be based upon a false and fraudulent rcpre-sentation, either to growers or to manufacturersor to both. But. the pretence that foreign woolcan be imported in greatly increased quantitiesat 35 per cent less than current prices is no

less fraudulent. Every practical dealer knowsthat owing to enormous undervaluations thorate of duty paid is not now 3.. per cent or even

80 per cent of the actual cost. Tho removal oftho duty will not reduce tho cost to consumers

in this country 35 or even 80 per cent, even ifthere should he no advance abroad in eouae*

quence of the increase nf imports. But a sud¬den and remarkable advance would certainlyoccur, as every practical dealer also knows.Then, as domestio wool-growers disappeared,tho foreign advance would bo greater. Thopretence that the manufacturer would getcheaper wool In tho end is therefeire as de¬ceptive and fraudulent as the pretence that thewool-grower would get a better price for wool.But, without the promised decrease in costof materials, thc manufacturer must faco a re¬

duction of three-sovenths in the rato of dutyby which thus far its industry has boon butscantily protected. At existing rates manyhundred woeillen manufacturing est.blis]nmentsare idle. The proposed change would simplyclose up thousands of them.

LIES ABOUT TIIE CHICAGO CONVENTION.

We aro amused at some of tho letters of in¬quiry that come to this office from good peoplewho have been disturbed in their minds by thoattacks of Prohibition and so-called Independ¬ent papers upon the character of tho ChicagoConvention. They don't believo things wero

so dreadful as they have been represented, butwould Uko to know. "The Kan-as City Her¬ald," for example, a Prohibition paper, hasbeen indiscriminately charging " drunkennessand irreverence'' upon the delegate- at Chi¬cago, and offers as part evidence tho pub¬lished report of a prayer uttered there, inwhich there are such interruptions ar* " loud¬er," etc. This, unfortunately, crept into thecolumns of The TniBrNE, by oversight fromthose of another paper. It gave a much dis¬torted and exaggerated impression of tho scene,

but even as it stood it afforded no Justifica¬tion for tho inferences maliciously drawn fromit. Any man of common sense can under¬stand how, In a vast gathering of peoplo,there could bo interruptions, even

to a prayer, A great hall is crowdedwith nearly 10,000 people. Thero isinevitably considerable confusion, with muchexcitement. Many cannot hear nor seo well.A clergyman appears upon the crowded plat¬form and offers prayer in a low te>no, for it isnot tho custom to roar prayers, even in thepresence of a large gathering. Some one wh<cannot hear, and supposes that a speaker i*addressing the convention, cries " louder."Gnly a thoroughly disingenuous person WOttldmake such interruptions the basis of a chargeof irreverence. And even if there had beenother interruptions, it would have been gi088l.v unjust to hold tho convention, or tho BOMof tho spectators, or anybody but the solo per¬petrator, responsible.The Chicagei Convention was conspicuous

among all the politico] conventions that havoever gathered in this country for the respOCtahility erf its membership, the good order thatWIS maintained, both inside the body and ont,and for the decorum of its prOCOOdinga Theimpression left by *»ue-h charges i* 80 ah-olute-l.v the reverse of the truth that it ls haul t*>

Stories like these bm scatteredbroadcast over the country. "Tho KansasCity Harald-1 would have peoplo believe, a

.-ftospoudaa. says, that Um Ohieago Conran.tion was little else than "a drunken rabble."This is amazing. We are utterly at a loss t.understand how such outrageous perversionsof the (ruth get into circulation.Strangely enough, the-y are persistently man¬

ufactured and circulated to help tho party toivhich a vast majeirity of drunkards and erim-nals belong by instinct. Thero aro liquor-Jealers and other black sheep in the Republ¬ican party, but they are the exceptions to therule. The Democratic party, on the other j

hand, takes its character from this class.Liquor-dealers furnish most of its campaignfunds, and, in all Fxcise questions at least,dictate its course. Why don't tho Prohibitionorators and newspapers, and tho so-called In¬dependent press, attack the liquor-dealers intheir stronghold? But, no; their aim is firstthe destruction of tho Republican party. Boif they find a Republican liquor-dealer any¬where they make an awful uproar about him,meanwhile preserving a discreet silence abouttho ninefy-nino Democrats who are in the samo

linc of business. If the Republicans try topass a Iligh-Licenso hill, and one memberbalks, then tho cry goes up that there is a

"conspiracy" of the whole party to prevent thobill from passing. There has been so much ofthis sort of lying that one meets now and thena citizen who really seems honestly to believe,in the innncenco of his heart, that tho Repub¬lican party is made up of the worst elementsof -society, and that tho Chicago Conventionwas a swarm of brawling ruffians. But false¬hood never pays in the long run, and it won'tin this instance.

" RUFPOSIMQ*» ARA WVSR ART.In one of the most charming of recent stories

for children, the heroine, a lovely girl, but friend¬less, forlorn, an*l hurlly treated, cheers her lonelyand miserable existence, by "supposing" that shei'. a Primers, anel that her surroundings and treat¬ment aro all that tuart could wish. Her Imaginn-tion is remarkably vivid, and sho contrives, afterall, to pet a reasonable) share of Rood out of lifoin spite of her hard conditions. When she lshungry, but ls not, allowed to have any dinnerbecause she returned bite from an errand on whichsho bael been sent, she " supposes'' that sho hasabunelaa8 ;mel tOOthSBBM food, and so really satls-Baa tha de.tanita at ber amwil") When she sr.*to her cheerli ss room, she *' supposes" that it ls a

plication. Who can doubt, for Instance, thatCrover Cleveland ¦ supposes" that he ls really thegreat man that some |>eople.a few.think him tohe ? He " suppo_cs"--und some of his friends like¬wise.that he has kept, tha solemn pledges whichhe. made previous to his election, ond alter it, re-

loudly enunciated, that publio office is ft publictrust. Ile " supposes" .hut ho ls consistent incondemning a President's taking a second term ifhe can get it, and then eogerly accepting and even

Striving fur a renomination. It's a harmless sort!of amusements perhaps, but, why should anybodypretend BB take lt seriously?And then there is that ancient fossil, sometimes

known as the Old Roman. He doubtless " sap*pesos*1 that he is endowed with perpetual youth,although even his most intimate friends are wellaware that he Isn't by any means

as young as he used to be. Heonce, and not so very many years ago either,condemned the second-term notion as full of allmanner of evil; yet now he evielently " supposes"that without giving any violent shock to hisfeelings, and without any marked departure fromthe path of consistency, he can t-ike thc secondplace on a ticket the head of which is after thatsecond term which was once, thought so portentousof ill for tho Republic. 'J"he red bandanna, too

.that apparently is supposed te be the oriflammeof victory, whereas in reality it is a totallydifferent matter.Take thc Democratic party, which was rightly

characterized four years ago by one of its presentactive members as a conspiracy for plunder andspoils. Everybody knows that the picture was

an true to life as it could possibly be. Yet itpleases ccrtftin persons, of no particular conse¬

quence outside of a narrow circle of immediateacquaintances, to " suppose" that this same partyis a parly of moral Idea* and with a solid basis ofprinciple to rest on. It mifc'ht just as easily bosupposed that the Jeopard couhl change his spots,or the F.thiopian his skin, between the comingup of the sun and the going down of the same.

Ir only teaches tho old leSBOO that it is easy formen to believe that which thev wish to believe.

In thc case of the chilli, ihe operation of " sup¬posing" was not only innocuous, but positivelyhelpful. In thc casa of thc political party, ami theman stronger than his party, and the strabismtis-BffoetO- individuals who perceive all manner ofgood where but yesterday they could easily see

evil, and evil only, and that continually, theprocess may lead t*) deplorable results. But thesecannot be of long continuance. Sooner or larer,the scales must fall from thc blinded eyes anelall things be made clear. But the ill that hasbeen dono meanwhile it may require long years to

undo.

If misstatement- were trumps, what a hnnd" The New-York Times" (Dcm.) would hold! Hereit, is assuring its readers it is " confident"- thatPresident Cleveland " will pursue the policy ofnon-interference in Stat« politics) to the end."*' Confident," are you ? That's precisely what youcannot bo, in the nature of things. Did PresidentCleveland *' pursue the policy of non-interference"when John R. Fellows was running for District-Attorney against De Lancey Niooll ? Not he. Onthe, aontrary, he prepared and sent over to this

city from Washington a campaign document forthe benefit of Fellows. This document wns a let-ter indorsing Fellows's candidacy written over thesignature of Grover Cleveland. Did you supposeyour readers hail forgotten that salient circum¬stance when you spoke of being " confident" ? Orwere you in* rely trying to play a confidence gamespan them ?

Mr. Bayard's management of mir fo._~i affairs sndthe la'-t that we aia_* at honor»hlo peace with alltuition* are among the strongest arguinenN in favorof Mr. ClevelandTs election. The President mightMariel to wla ou hi* foreign policy alone..(New-YorkHerald.Where could he stand to win on that foreign
