Let us hope that Editor Root, rather than our more northern friends, is mistaken. European vs. American Conventions.—Mr. C. P. Dadant has an article on another page contrasting the bee- keepers' conventions of continental Europe with those of America. No other man is more competent to write on this subject, for he has attended conventions on both sides of the Atlantic. Undoubtedly the fact of greater distances in this coun- try militates against great conventions here. The only way we can hope to gather a large crowd is to hold our meetings when low railroad rates are in force for some other and more important occasion. We have had the largest and best bee-keepers' conventions when taking ad- vantage of the railroad rates granted on account of the meetings of the Grand Army of the Republic. This year the Denver convention will likely be well attended for the same reason—that of low rates. And, then, another matter that may induce bee-keepers to " go again " may be that of having a jolly time rather than so much " shop ; A convention should be as far removed as possible from being like sitting down and read- ing a bee-paper. This latter can be done at home, and at far less expense. The meeting and greeting of old-time as well as new-time apiarian friends should be one of the greatest incentives to attending any convention, and espe- cially the meeting of the National. If we may judge from the published program of the Denver convention, it will be a
