Hard Facta to Relation to tbe Operation ot the later-State Comnseree Law Presented to the (Hate Department hy Oor Conssnereiat Aceat at Itadon, Oat. Washixston, Mny 4. Tbe State Department to-day sent to the later-State Commerce Commission a copy of a oommaaieattoa just received at the department from Mr. Washington, United State Commercial A feat at London, Oat, respecting tbe effecte of tbe later-State Commerce tow oa our trade with Canada. Tbe agent, writing under date of April 25, says tbe result of tbe act has been most damaging to both the United State aad Canada, la reference to exports aad imports, aad Is severely felt both by buyera and sellers to and from the United States. The records of his oAce for the month of April show tea activity aad fewer exports than ever before for tbe same period, aad be believes the same to be true-throughout Canada. "In fctt" be says, "for a week after tba law took effect, business was at a standstill, aad k at present confined almost exdttsirely to potato like Buffalo and Detroit, wbtob are immediately across tbe line, aad require no haul over American railways." The Caned is a roads, he says, can not yet give a rate over their own aad connecting American lines, aad shippers are consequently unwilling to lot their goods go to tbe froattor, aot knowing what tbe further delivery to inland fffiad aonboard point will east This, however, he writes, k not the worst feature of tbe oase, aad to slight compared with the damage to ear impart trade into Canada. The Sagtkh merchant in thk busy seasoa is ahfe to name tbe exact rate af freight, and thus has a great sd vantage over the American merchant, who, ia tbe present chaotic eeedtuoa ot railway tariffs, can not say whether the rate oabia goods will b 3 oae or Bva dollars per hundred poun Js.

A PXHMaH PtOAO.

ta af Bsasatae; tbe PeeidaHal Bemkastwa, Tka boom for Jaha Sherman aa tka Bepntblieaa eanaWlate ia im U aaftumiajp ttaeer iu4toUMM makafatsMHit, vary proAHkiHg; proportions. It moat inter eating; feature ia iu maaykliina. To large number of K publican it praaawto itaelf aa a ralief from the Blaine incubus undue which they have reateMl ao loaf aa4 which they hare fousHl it no tii Moult to throw oft To other Sbarmna U the eamlltUta ot a suroil nuandal views who eaa oarry New York aaa possibly reooHeito tha Mugwump. To another oUvsa he is tka eominr paeiSeator of tka South who is to rand aaHutler more efectively than aay other Republican tha solidity of thxl aaoUott. Yet it to not all plain sailing even in his own party for the friend of the New York banks ami the dkeorerer of Elisa Piukstou. Two formidable obstacles lie in the channel through which he nuet paw to a nomination; and there seems to be no present method of passing or removing; them. The tint is the opposition of the pregressive Rupublioans, who believe, like Senator Hawley, of Connecticut, in local self-government and the abandonment of paternalism in Government. Upon this point, for the purpose of catching Southern support, Sherman has irrevocably oommitted himself. In his Southern speeches' he avowed himself heartily in favor of the principle which lies at the bottom of the Blair bill for aiding tbe States to educate the rising generation. It was not a wholly new attitude for him. He has always been a supporter of subsidies; and there is no essential difference between supporting one subsidy ta aid an influential monopoly and supporting another to secure rotes. Neither is the attitude at variance with the general attitude of the Republican party. It is exceedingly obnoxious, however, to the better elements of the party; and if Senator Sherman adheres to it he oaa not count oa their support ia convention. Upon another point Senator Shorman ie ia rank antagonism to a Urge element of his party, though it is not so worthy or reputable an element as that which opposes his subsidy notions. While this element may be willing to out loose from the "bloody shirt" with all that the old war cry implies, it is determined to cling still to the hypocritical hypothesis that the party is the special guardian of moral ideas. But Sherman has deliberately declared against the "moral idea" dodge. In effect, he has proclaimed the erasure from the party gonfalon of tbe cabalistic "g. o. p." In his letter to the Young Republican Club of Virginia be distinctly outlined the future of the Republican party as a future devoted te the development and the diversification of American history. There is to be bo brooding over the dead past, he says; no more crusading against real or imaginary wrong. The end and aim of the party, next to the securing of its own continuance in power, is business. This will probably satisfy the pronounced protectionists in the party. though many even of these will regret the abandonment of the snivel and tlu? whine. But to an immense faction in the party the snivel and the whine are indispensable. They would aot know what to do with themselves in a party that plants itself on a business issue and refuses to plume, itself upon its devotion to the righting of wrongs. And as a natural consevjuer.ee this faction can not support Sherman. . All of which goes to show that the way of the aspirant to a Presidential nomination is hard. Itetroil Free i'rase. CONTEMPTIBLE CONDUCT. The tTntnlr Treatment Wtileh tbe Interstate Oeunaseree HU1 la Beeelviug at m. t.l i mm. - The newspaper organs which for party purposes kept up an incessant demand on successive Democratic Congresses for the passage of an InterState Commerce bill and which hailed the adoption of the present measure with much satisfaction are now very generally attacking the law, abusing the Congress which passed it and reviling the Democratic party for iu incompetency. They who look to an organ for fairness, decency or sense will be disappointed, but it occasionally seems as though idiocy aad mendacity were not essential to the conduct even of such wind instruments. The very Journals which are now condemning a law which has not a yet had a pretense of a trial wore for the most part the moat reckless, enthusiastic and vociferous advocates of its passage. Such journalism, some of which is to be seen ia Chicago, is noth ing less thaa contemptible, ao matter from what standpoint it may be viewed. For more than ten years the Senate, with a heavy Republican majority most of the time, defeated every attempt of the House of Representatives to legislate on the National railroad problem. ! At length it sprang a dubious device of its own, which a despairing House was constrained to accept, with some nsodilieation. No intelligent man believed lent the ul lorn -Kesga bill as Snail; offered for passage would meet the requirement of the case, for it waa too palpably the work of enemies as well aa af friends of the principle of National central, but it was regarded as a beginning, and for the purpose of 'minimising any uleewtnm effects which it might have the Commission ers created by it were given full an thority to suspend its operation in cases where they deemed it mlviaabto. Maay sincere advocate af XaUoaal aeutrel would have

Whether thev succeed In this nudertakingor not, they will at least be in a posHion before many month lo report to Congress what legislation is needed. It is an easv matter for a party hornblower to "whoop up" the people in favor of any ill-advised measure falsely represented as oae of relief for existing abuses. It is easier still for any blockhead to ory down a measure onee adopted, of which wise and sincere men are endeavorinr. to make the best. The number of such horn-blowers and block heads in control of party Hwipwr is large, but fortunately it is not ia creasing. Chimg IhraUl. FRESH YOUNG REPUBLICANS. Mr. Bberman's Kvldent Optolea of Hto Youtbrnl followers t the Quaker City. Young Republicans almost every where are brigitt youths, with the lus ter of newness and freshness upon them. We dare say the Young Republicans of Philadelphia are no ex ception to the rule. Senator Sherman has been for many years a Republican, with all that the name implies. lie has grown old ami rich in the exercise of Republicanism. He must have, however, a very poor opinion of the intelligence of his jun iors in Philadelphia, judging by the letter in which he has undertaken to explain to thum the philosophy of the continued existence of the Republican party, and to provide a programme for this and future generations of Young Republicans. The work ox the Repttbifcen party k nut fairly begun," That is Honest John Sherman's text. Did not another Honest John Honest John Patterson, of South Carolina make a remark somewhat to the same effect a few years ago? Mr. Sherman continues: "What you hare to do k still farther te deTetep and diversify AmeKeaa industry." It strikes us that a good manv Dem ocrats, young, middle aged, and old, are at present engaged in this noble work with no immediate intention of yielding to the Young Republicans the monopoly of development and di versification. The education of the rising generation, with out respect to race, color, or previous eoudt Hob of servitude, ought te he a constant object of desire. It ought to lie. and we are happy to add that it is, without respect either to race, color or previous condition of servitude, or to the lines of party organisations. We know of more than one village school in which little Dem ocrats may be seen studying the spelling book side by side with the small brothers and sisters of Sir. Sherman's Young Republican friends. u The sovnl entojmeat of every civil aad po litical right gives by the eenstttuUea should be secured by every legal and eontituUonal Means." Yes, by all means. The hstows and prek dices of the past theutd he Uttod by tbe iigate of modern etrllisa Men." In the immortal words of the poet. you bet! All this, writes Honest John bherman, is the work which the Kepuwican party still has to carry on and carry out to its logical conclusion.
