The Pennsylvania Iron Trade

A Pittsburg telegram to the
Philadelphia Ledger says: I" The
iron manufacturers have been
grumbling for weeks at the present
depression in the trade. Most OF
them admit that the recent boom
was over.estimated, when card rates
were put at 4 cents, and are now
prepared to put the rates back to
80 cents. The majority of the m1n.
utacturers seem to tayOr 81 cents,
but many are anxious TO tix rates
at 3 2.1O cents. Fofeign manuiac.
turers can deliver iron in New
York at the latter figures, aud
many manufacturers think that i'm.
ported iron has much to do with
the present lull in trade. The re-
duetion of card rates from 4 cents
TO 81 cents will reduce the price OF
pudding trom 81 20 to 81 % per
ton. With card rates at 2 2-lt
cents pudding will be % 50 pei
ton.

ScedIess WatermeIOns.

Gonzales Enquirer.
Farmers in different places, our
exchanges tell us, have successfully
experimental in raising seedless
watermelons. The plan is as fol.
lows: After the vine is about two
leet long, cover the vine at a point
intermediate between the root. Al
ter it has taken root where it is
covered, divide the vine between
the old aud new root, and the re-
suit will be that the melons will be
sesdless, without imparing their
quality. This would certainly add
to the value of melons as edibles.
We hope some of our farmers will
try it.

Dry Cows.

Monthly Bulletin.
1t is common practice among
some dairymen to give their cows,
When dry, but seanty living.
When a COW ceases to give milk, or
is dryed up, any feed is considered
good enough for her. | think this
is great mistake, aud the result is
a disminished product of milk, both
in quantity and quality, when she
comes in. There is large draught
on the system to sustain the calf
while the COW is carrying it; and
to keep the COW in good condition
good feed is as important as when
she is giving milk. 1t is my opin.
ion that 81 worth Of food when she
is dry is worth more than,sl so af.
ter she comes in. An animal in
poor condition cannot digest as
much food as an animal in good con.
dition. Ii the COW is poor when
she will not digest enough TODD to
support the Sistem, and at the same
tire to make Il large quantity OF
milk.

The earnings of the railroads are a
pretty good test of the condition of bust
ness in this country. The Financial
Chronicle publishes the gross earnings
of forty-one railroad lines for the month
Of June and compares the same with the
earnings of June, 1879. Without ex-
ception all the railroads report larger
earnings in June, 1880, than in June,
1879, the total earnings during June,
1880, being $l7, 859.0l3 against s13,-
064,954 the corresponding month of the
year previous net increase of $4,-
1914, $50. These figures show anything
else than a decline in the business of
the country. The gross earnings of
thirty-6ve Of the same roads from Janu-
airy to July l, 1880, amounted to
$82,o44. $50, against $65, O77, 494 dur
ing the corresponding period of 1879
a gain of $16,967, 29l. These figures
instead of indicating decline in bust
ness on the contrary show decided
improvement.

REFORM METHODS.

Under the cry of ''reform" the dem
ocratic party undertook to carry the
election in 1876. Now they have
changed the term to fraud" 1t turns
out in an investigation now being held
in New York, by congressional COM
mittee, that during the year 1868 in
which the Performers" had it all their
own way in New York City, 10000
fraudulent certificates of citizenship
were issued, and that amount of bogus
voters created There is documentary
and official evidence of these great
frauds.
John l. Davenport, whom every dem
ocratic politician bowls over. having
been appointed to look into the matter,
and afterwards made Supervisor, has
all the necessary proof to show this out
rage on republican government. AS an
instance of what was done, during the
month of Oct. 1868, $4,000 certificates
were issued, the law requiring certain
proceedings in each case which would
occupy from ten to sixty minutes in each
case. These certificates were issued at
the rate of two in each minute. Certain
professional perjurers were used as wit
nesses who made 1000 or more afidavlts
day, and swore to them. Of course
this kind of reform made the city over.
whelmingly democratic. With these
facts understood it is easy to understand
why the democracy is opposed to having
any supervisors, marshals or soldiers al
or near the polls. Honest voting anG
honest counting does not 60 into fit o.
rage over the affairs mentioned. johnny
Davenport" as the democrats call him
is still alive IN New York City, and hal
to do with the voting, and this is VIII,
he is so terribly hated by the frauC
shouters.

Details of the recent duel in South
Carolina show it to have been a case of
cold-blooded murder. One of the par
ties, Col. Shannon, was lawyer of high
standing who had sufficient sense of
genuine honor and regard for law to be
opposed on principle to duelling. He
had become involved in quarrel with
Colonel Cash, one of the DULLES who
pass for high-spirited gentlemen in that
part of the country, as the result of a
lawsuit in which he had been engaged
as counsel. Col. Shannon was chal-
lenged by Cash, but declined to fight,
on the grounds that he was opposed to
the barbarous practice of duelllng and
not inclined to violate the laws of his
State, which prohibit it. As a conse-
quence he was branded as a coward and
pursued with abuse and insult until he
was driven by the prevailing sentiment
of the community in which he lived to
challenge his prosecutor. Though he
felt himself forced to this resource, il
was so little to his taste that he wasted
the shot to which he was entitled as tn.
challenger, and then his antagonis
took deliberate aim and shot him through
the heart. Shannon left a wife anC
family of young children dependent OF
him for their support. And there ar,
still people who uphold duelling an,
call its rules, under which this bastard
ly murder was committed, the "code o
homer T. Cash has been arrested.
remains to be seen if there will be an
attempt to execute justice and the law
in his case.
