COLLECTING.

The Knickerbocker tells the following
humorous and amusing story:
A gentleman from New York, who had
been in Boston for the purpose of collect
ing some money due him In that city, was
about returning. when he found that one
bill of one hundred dollars had been over

or, thought it a doubtful case;" but ad-
ded, that if it was coIlectable at all, a tall,
raw honed Yankee, then dunning a lodger
in another part of the room, would "annoy
il out of the man." Calling him up, there.
fore, he introduced him to the creditor
who showed him the account.
"Wal, Square, faint much use tryin'
guess. knotp that sritter. You nigh,
as well try 10 squeese lie out of Bunker

"Well, sir, the bill is one hundred dol
lars. l'll give YOU es, III you half, i

"Greed!' replied the collector; there
no harm in tryin', any ways"
Some weeks alter, the creditor chanre,
to be in Boston, and in walking up Ire

As there has been some misunderstanding in
regard to Mr. Bright's vote on the Tariff Reso-
tions, passed by the Legislature or the 2nd of

readers the following statement Of Mr. Bright,
explanatory of the whole matter On the 18th
OF March, when Mr.. Roumlort's Tariff Rcsolu'
tions were before the House, Mr.. Bright took
an active part in their favor, and they were pass
ed the same day by unanimous vote. We have

Annexation of Texas.

The President has sent 10 the Senate the Trea.
ty, which has been signed at Washington, for the
annexation of Texas to the Union. The Sccrc.
tary of War, Mr.. wilkins, has addressed long
letter to his late constituents of the 2lst pitts
burg Congressional District, in favor of annex
alton 1t is one of the most important subjects
that has been brought before the American peo-
pie for many years The South is unanimously
in favor of the measure. The West and the
North are also much more iavorably disposed than
had been anticipated. 1t is supposed that the
Senate will delay acting on the matter during
the present session as both parties are unwilling
to have the subject mingled with the Presidcn-
tial question. Others again insist that the Senate
will confirm the treaty before the adjournment
Of Congress
This is a subject upon which the people are
much divided, but we believe, that annexation
is rapidly becoming more and more popular as
the question is better understood. Texas, it is
said, will fall into the hands of some other pow
er ifnot annexsd-probably, under the control OF
the British Government. This should be pre-.
vented at all hazard Texas is fine country ca.
pable of forming five or SIX States, equal 10 Nr-
ginia or Pennsylvania. 1t belonged TO the L.
States, and was ceded to Spain in 1919, when
our Governm ent purchased Florida from the lat
ter Government. The greatest objection urged,
is, that Slavery is tolerated in Texas On the
other hand it is contended that all slavery will
be, in time, concentrated in Texas, and thus
farther removed from the free States, and that
Virginia, Maryland, Kentucky, Delaware and
Missouri will gradually become free States, Tex
as should never have been ceded to Spain by the
| United States Mr.. wilkins says
"The most indispu,able proof exists to show
that Spain, in 1910, when she sold Florida TO the
Union. and the latter ceeded Texas to Spain
had actually instructed her minister TO acknowl
edge, if necessary, our title to the whole o.
Texas, as part of the Louisiana territory, pur
chased by US in 1904"

1t appears that the United States are dependent
Great Britain for many millions OF dollars
worth of iron annually.
The Edinburg Review for August, 1913 as.
srrts that the trade of Britain with America
employs at least twentieth part of the British
population, and at least tenth part of her com
merca and manufacturing wealth.
This only shows us how vast field is yet o.
pen in this country for the cntcrprisng capital.
st The manufacture Of iron has not vet begun
at the right spot TO enable us 10 supply iron as
cheaply as Great Britain To do this we must
profit by her experience. How is that Like
her we must erect furnaces and rolling mills
where the coal and the ore are found lying side
by side together, that we may the enormous
expense of carriage on such heavy materials. In
our anthracite coal field, both coal and iron orc
abound the latter is exactly identical with
Though more abundant than) the ores of the Bri.
tish coal fields, from which nearly all their iron
is made.
specimen Of this ore, taken from a regular
stratum in the Schuylkill coal basin, has been
handed to us, and good judges pronounce it ex-
cellent.
Appended to the sample is certificate from
that distinguished British iron master, David
Mushet, respecting the quality Of the Anthracite
iron made in Wales. From accurate expert
mcnts made, it is abundantly proved that the cold
blast pig iron made in Wales, with anthracite
coal, greatly exceeds in strength, in defective
powers, and capacity to resist impact, any iron
/ at this time manufactured in Great Britain
/ There is no branch Of manufacture that is e
quail in importance to iron; none that secures to
a nation equal power, wealth, commerce and po-
puation.
/ To this state il is more important than any
other resourse TO which we can look for rcsuci
tation; and to Philadelphia it is especially al
object of deep interest, for the course of things
will not permit us to place entire dependence
upon any probable increase of commerce TO sus
tain our city. But if this port could be made
a depot for the great bulk Of the iron, as wei
as the coal consumed in the Atlantic States, thu
permanent commercial prosperity of Phladelphi;
will be based upon a foundation that never coulc
be shaken.
II must be evident TO persons of ordinary fore
sight, that the manufacturers Of our country arr
beginning new career, IN which the prospec
of success was never brighter.
The manufacture of iron in our coal basins
where it can be produced at low prices, promis
to repay the capitalists who get the first lei
years run, a rich harvest.
We shall feel indebted to any Of our friends 70
the exact cost, in items, of making iron wit
Anthracite coal and ore in the Schuylkill Goa
basin.
