Until recently the iron manuiac-
turers of the United States have been
unable to compete with those Of
England, even in our home market,
except when protected by heavy
tariff. 1t is matter OF pride to ev-
cry true American that we are now
able to rely entirely upon home
manufacture for our supply OF this
staple. The Springfield H., Jour
nal says:
While our frec-tradc organists are
predicting MI sorts Of ruin and disas-
ter to the United States, because We
have grown independent OF Great
Britain on the iron question, the
London Times thinks the boot is on
the other leg" 1t hewail- the fact
thnt 1.-The liz, 1t pierket in the world
il now closed to England :" and II
sees further danger TO that nation IN
the additional, fact that 1.-The United
States is nov successfully competing
for the iron trade of Canada, South
America, and the West Indies.

The Burlington HawAeye was re-
Gently charged by resolution adopted
by the Muscatine Co. Autobiography
Convention with having said that
"all the Republican State Senators
holding over are pledged to oppose
the taxing Of railroad property as
other property is taxed, and are also
opposed to the just regulation ol
freights by statute" The Ha1ckeye
denies the statement and says:
"What we did say was that, jrdg'
ing their future action by their past
votes, there was some seventeen ol
the twenty-five Senators holding
over who would go into the next
Legislature dead set against All prac..
tical measures for the regulation ana
control of railroads. Some fault has
been found with this statement, but
we have not noticed that anybody
has attempted to refute it,"

men no better than they are, what kind of
an example is it for them? When their
term of imprisonment expires, they go out
into the world again, but with what en-
enlargement to lead better lives? They
leave prison penniless, and with society
ready to frown upon them as released
convicts.n The only class ready to receive
them kindly is their old associates in
crime. The State having confined them
for years, at great expense, should certain
ly take one step farther to carry out its plan
of reform. 1t might by some means enable
prisoners who really want to lead better
lives to secure some employment when
they first leave the prison door. Start
them out on the path to reformed lives at
least, instead of leaving them penniless and
alone, confronted by new temptations and
forced almost by necessity into their old
haunts and ways.
In the absence of any such means of aid
ing prison reform, Mr.. Nordhof, in the
article referred to, recommends the estab-
lishment of penal colony in Alaska to
which the United States could transport
its worst criminals. The country is suita-
BILE, and the policy worth trying. He
thinks that the troops and regular army
officers now in Alaska as the necessary
garrison, could look after such colony
without much extra expense. There, a
system of reform could be carried out. The
country is not sickly like the French penal
settlement of Cayenne, nor has it, like
Australia, climate in which runaway
convicts could sustain themselves in the
bush. He thinks army officers, honorable,
educated men as they are, just the class to
superintend reforms in such colony and
their rigid discipline and freedom from
political corruptions, better calculated to
insure reformed prisoners than any sys-
tenn now in operation. The suggestion
will certainly receive the attention its inn
portance deserves.

SOME days ago we noticed the corruption
attending the election of members OF Far
lament in England, and took occasion to
say that in this respect we were much bet
ter off than our transatlantic cousins.
Appropos 70 this subject we publish the
following to throw light upon the manner
of conducting French elections. When
men spend money in elections here they
usually keep quiet about it:
According to the correspondent of the
London Times, elections in Paris cost a
trifie, if not more. It is estimated that M.
Remusat expended ten thousand pounds
out of his own pocket to secure bis cleo.
ton; but he was defeated. The friends OF
M. Barodet. who is far from being rich,
made up subscription to enable him to go
into the contest. 1t must be doubly hu,
initiating to the former to lose his seat and
his money too. 1t is bad enough to wound
ones pride, without bleeding his pocket
in this wholesale way.

SOME time ago the Press and Herald re-
published an article from some struggling
Bohemian pandering to sectional prejudi-
ces by charging that while the South paid
more taxes to the general Government
than the North, there was appropriated by
the last Congress, for the Southern States,
but $50, 900 for public building, while
millions were provided for the North. At
the time of the publication we exposed the
falsity of the article as to the expenditures
for public buildings by showing that as to
Tennessee alone, near half million dol
lars was appropriated. AS to the charge
of taxes we now have official data
to show how false and unjust the appeal to
sectional prejudice was. 4s
1t appears that from 1868 to 1872, while
the States not in rebellion paid 81 ,617, 624, :
$50 of taxes into the National Treasury,
the others for the same nine years paid
Sl40,71S, 272 or per capita tax of $3.50 of
the former to S1.4S of the latter. During
that time the raw cotton tax was paid.
esIa-----.. .s--.-e---A--->
and the comparison is unfair, let us take
another one. In the year 1872 the States
not in rebellion paid S121, 65S, 49, while the
others paid but SIC, IL, 467 or per capita
tax of SAILS of the former to one of 81 .O6 of
the latter.
We refer to these figures merely to show
how unreliable and unfair is that class of
Journalists who hope to win temporary
favor with the Southern people by appeal
ing to, their sectional prejudices, and mis-
leading them by publishing untruths on
subjects calculated to arouse their passions
and infiame their hatreds. e

ABOUT CRIMINAL PUNISHMENT.

The June number of Haypers' Magazin
contains an article from Mr.. Charles Nord
hoff, entitled, what shall we do will
Scroggs," in which some sensible sugges-
tIons are made as to criminal punishment
IN the United States. The object of con-
nnement In prison is to protect society
from the dangerous characters who violate
its laws. Two purposes are to be attained
by prison discipline and confinement. One
we have stated above. The other is to re-
form the criminal-to send him back to
society prepared by his discipline and
teaching during confinement to be better
cltlzen' The statistics of crime show that
some better mode of punishment is de-
manded. The State prisons of the several
states now contain some 10000 convicts
The prisons of all grades in the whole
United States contain about 3S 800 inmates.
Most of these prisoners are between the
ages OF sixteen and forty years. AS COM
pared with the population of the country
between those ages, the convicts are as one
70 four hundred and fifty. This is rather
startling statement and should warn us
u the necessity Of some more efficient gys-
ten Of criminal punishment.
