now Pig Iron can be made far cheaper In Vir-

the product of Pig Iron was never consider

We have become so accustomed to the an
nouncements each month of large reductions in
the National Debt, that the statement for Oc-
tober is just little disappointing. To be
sure, no other modern nation has ever been
able to reduce its public debt at anything
like the rate of $5,OOOOOO per month-S6O,OOO
600 year-which marks our decrease for the
last month but this country has done such mar
velOus things in the matter of finance during
the past decade that we are disappointed If
each succeeding monthly statement is not
fresh surprise. 1t should not be forgotten,
however by those disposed to compare the
present with any previous statement that the
falling off in the total amount of the debt
cancelled is the very natural result OF the
great reduction of taxes and tariff which was
made at the beginning of last month.

The registries being now closed, our next
duty is to inspect the lists tomorrow,
and make our preparations to challenge all
whom there is reason to suspect of registering
falsely. Probably great many of the Tam
many repeaters have been cOlonized in the
uptown wards, as the census makes it dan
gerous for them to heap up their suffrages in
the tenement precincts with the same bold
ness as heretofore. The roll of names is to
be open to public view tomorrow, and every
voter has right to examine the register in
his own district, and point out the names of
those whom he suspects of fraud. .... rf

TEST QUESTIONS.

We believe that the respectable citizens of
New-York mean to poll fuller vote next
week than they have polled in years before.
Every day their interest in the contest deepens.
Ihey understand that the battle is between q
fmr system of self-government, and system
OF public robbery and corruption which en-
dangers every mans purse, and menaces every
mans personal safety. AS The World said,
when it was denouncing the men whom it now
supports. We must ali act on the principle
" that dishonesty is not to be screened by
professions of party orthodoxy. It concerns
" the whole country that our politics should he
purified" Any man who doubts which the
party of dishonesty is, can satisfy himself by
asking few questions.

BROOKLYN.

If the gentlemen now supporting Alderman
Whiting for Congress mean to elect him, that
is fair and laudable undertaking. If they
mean by running him to elect Gen. Slocum,
that is altogether another matter. In every
case, we consider it best to act exactly as you
mean. Gen. Slocum is respectable citizen,
though his apostasy from the Republican
cause in the darkest hours Of the War, and
his support for President of the General who,
when our brave boys were being moved down
by Rebel batteries in unequal fight at Grove
ton, coolly proposed to "tet Pope get cut Of his
"scrape," while Ire looked to the defenses of
Washington, seems to US little less than trea-
son. Still, we say, let any one support Gen.
Slocum who considers that the best thing to
be done; but let there he no false pretensc
about it. In the actual condition of things, it
seems to ms that every earnest Republican
ought to do his best for the election of the regn-
lar Republican candidate. L. ID. Webster.

Mr. George Ticknor Curtis's argument against
the constitutionality of the late act of Congress
regulating naturalization and enforcing the
right of citizens to vote, will be read with in
terest, but we imagine with little profit 1t
will command more attention on account of
the importance of the issue than respect for
the logic advanced. The fact is that people
generally recognize the pending action in the
United States Circuit Court as desperate
attempt on the part of Tammany to evade the
law, and the basis of Mr.. Curtis's argument as
the weakest part of the effort.

purchase.

Tammany does not despair of repeating the
naturalization frauds at the coming election.
1t will probably be in new form. Papers are
granted to men who affirm that they
had lost those formerly issued to them, and
three hundred of these were given out during
the month of October by single court. Inc
same court issued naturalization papers 10
1900 persons. Evidently hope springs eternal
in the Tammany breast and its leaders are
determined to lose no opportunity OF beng
blessed with local success, even though at
tained by fraud.
