The Newark Advocate says:
Republican papers are making
themselves merry over the discov-
cry Of fraud perpetrated in Fairfield
county a few years back by a Dem
ocratic deputy Treasurer, and n
man named TowsoN, who was
elected County Auditor in 1855 by
the Know Nothing Republicans,
and has been retained in Office ever
since as Deputy. These frauds are
shameful, but we cannot e how
they shonld afford any just cause
for merriment to anybody. II the
Republican papers will look at their
own counties, they will find trans
actions quite as black as those that
have brought disgrace to old Fair
field. In Fayette county,, the
Treasurer in order TO extort from
taxpayers more money than he
was TO ACCOUNT for, basely altered
the taxes entered on the duplicate
by the Auditor, and pocketed the
excess. In Clarke county, the
Treasurer (WIcK') is n defanltcr to
the amount Of 1897, 900, which sum
is said to have been borrowed and
lost by his political friends. In
Athens county, the Republican
Sheriff gambled away considerable
sums Of money in his hands and
then made tracks TO "parts I'M
known" All of these are events of
the past year. So it will be only
fair for Republican papers to keep
these transactions in mind where
they have anything to say about
the recent shameful developments
in Fairfield.

A good chief clerk for the lower
house of the Legislature is of moro i'm
portance than anything else, and Saline
county will present q candidate for that

and favorably known throughout the
State. He has held several minor clerk
ships in the House and is thoroughly &C

all the clerical positions. Always pleas
ant and accommodating, possessed Of the

American Iron Trade.

The annual meeting Of tho American

the chair.
TIE secretary submitted . statistical
report empracirg q general review OF
the iron trade. 1t states that the pros
eDt financial crisis has deranscd the
whole business, and prices of iron have
declined, reaching in some lines far be-
low the cost of production. At the be-
ginning of November fully one-third OF
the furnaces and mills were idle, and by
the end of the month ono-half Of the fur
mace will be blown out. Their mills are
bare Of orders, and the stock Ofpi: iron
accommodating with no sale =; any prices.
Thousands Of iron workers arc out OF
work, and those yet employed have ac-
ceptcd q reduction Of fifteen per cent.
in wages. Under these circumstances,
says the report, an increase OF duty on
pig iron from $3.50 to 80 per ton, and
proportiona,ely on other classes, would
be a wise measure of relief by congress.

Condition Of the spanish xavy.

Admiral Porter, of tho United States
Navy, is now in Washinton, and ha,
boon busy all day In drawing up for use.
when called upon, statement showing
the condition Of the Spanish navy. lie
says at present the Spanish navy has
twenty-five vessels carrying no guns ;
twenty four carrying 50 guns, and TWEEN
ty-two carrying $50 guns. There are
also ten transports capable Of carrying
guns, and fifty gunboats, with one heavy
gun each. Fifty-thrsc of these vessels
are stationed on tho coast Of Cuba, car
rying 800 guns, with 5000 men all told.
The Admiral thinks that, with tho pros
ont condition of our navy, wo would
not be able to compete with that of the
Spanish. He said the question now at
issue between the UniteI States and
Spain was that respecting an insult to
our flag. The Virginius was sailing un-
der regular papers. She had got into
waters other than those Of the United
States, and, when captured, it was the
duty Of the Spanish government to have
held her for trial. If she had violated
any law, the government was the proper
one to punish her for it. lie was not
conversant with the views OF tho admin
istration on the question, as no member
of it had conversed with him since his
arrival. lie remarked, in reference to
the excited feeling among the people,
that it was not easy for our government
TO readily respond to their views. The
government had responsibilities which
tho people had not. We were popular
pewer; that if.thc people did not keep
their faith with nations our government
must. lie thought resolutions declaring
war with Spain would be offered early
nc 1t session.
