The POSSE CoMITATUs LAw.-Ev-

Tort will be made the coming winter to
repeal the posse eOmifafHs Legislation
of last June. Mr.. G. w: McCrary has
already made known bis purpose TO at
tack it in his December report. and to
demand its repeal on the ground that il
works great public injury. We also

in such cases and under such circum-
stances as such employment Of said

gy making known his purpose to
III the posse comitafws law at its
nv foundation, and TO claim that the
intent OF the founders Of the Constltu-
ton was 10 employ the army to keep
the peace and prevent violence in ci-
ties and communities. Thus Mr.. Nc
Crary proposes to Teiterate the false
theory OF his report of year ago, that
''our fathers, who framed the Constitu-
ton, doubted the wisdom Of relying
upon the militia for the suppression oil
domestic violence, and so provided for
the employment Of Federal troops for
this purpose doctrine which led
him TO urge upon Congress, in the same
report, "the great value ola strong Fed
eral force stationed in the vicinity Of
our great cities"
No doubt few exceptional instances
have occurred in which civil authorities
have vainly sought TO escape the fruits
OF their own negligence, by calling on
the army to perform duties now prohib-
tied under the posse c0mifatHs statute.
But not one instance has occurred justi-
Tying its repeal. In Arkansas > militia

arrest a murderer; in Texas troops were
asked to help arrest persons accused OF

IT is to be sincerely hoped Congress
will not reduce the tariff upon iron,
as proposed by Mr.. Woods bill, No.
4,l06. Speaking for our own section,
no measure could be more injurious
to US particularly and to the
country generally. Iron is a royal
staple, just as it used to be said cot
ton is king In both products this
country is most prolific. though the
former, troubled with foreign compe-
tition, is much more sensitive to
whatever affects it in legislation OF
trade. With our boundless resources,
both of quality and variety, it does
seem that we should be permitted to
supply ourselves altogether-that
there is no need Of patronizlng for
eign production and workmanship at
all. The existing system is really
prohibitory of our own mineral and
industrial development. Indeed, it
says to our quiet workshops, remain
silent to our noiseless factories,
keep still" 1t goes further and pro-
poses to close many industrial instj-
tutions that are now active; in other
words, it insists that home production
and manufacture shall be unproft-
able-that workingmen shall not only
continue at low wages, but that many
shall not have work at all, thus par
TALLY or wholly reducing them to III
ability to buy other products even
those Of the agriculturist. In fact,
there is no end to the disastrous
round.
Our own industry is essentially de,
pendent upon the development OIL
iron. There is little enough doing il
that line--too little. And now Mr.
Wood proposes TO have US do still
less-say 2S per cent. less. We hope
Congress will at least leave the tariff
at just whatit is. If there is to be a
change, let the tariff be higher.
