The Democratic party is not tractable or ganization. Its best hopes for the presidency were staked, last Session, on ''riders" to appro- priation bills, and now it must leave the way open to future blunders by refusing to make it's rules conformable to common sense. The Congressional squabble of last week over this question shows how little that party is capa- ble of learning even under the bitter schooling of experience

Maine developments show that there was forgery as we'll as fraud in the Fusion tiuker- ing of the election returns. A legislative con- mittee investigating the Garcelon process have hit upon the following case, as reported in Saturdays Tribune;
 The Republican candidate for Senator in Lincoln County, Andrew R. G. Smith, was counted out on the familiar ground of defec- tive ballots. He had clear majority of 163. Garcelon threw out the entire vote of the town of Nobleboro, 40, because the ballots were printed Andrew R. c. Smith. But this left 23 majority to be got rid of and to accomplish this fraud the vote of another town had to be wiped out. The Town Clerk of Somerville testified that he sent 8 certificate, made up in open town meeting, giving Smith 72 votes, legally cast for him; that he received from Augusta, about the middle of December let ter written on the official paper of the Secre- tary of States office, inclosing blank certifi- cate and instructing him to fill it out, giving the 72 votes to Andrew A. R. Smith instead of to k. G. Smith, as in the first certificate He confessed that he made out this false certificate and signed the names of all the selectmen to it, though none of them were present or knew of the transaction. On this false certificate Smith was deprived of his seat, and Fusion Senator put in it. The forging clerk says he has ''mislaid" the letter of instruction, but the forged certificate is among the papers, and in the tabulated returns the 72 votes of Soiner- vile were first put down to Smith, and after. ward erased.

The Berkshire Courier has the following re- garding the Salisbury iron interest, the Hous- atomic railroad, etc..
 The Barnum- Richardson company of Sails bury, Ct., which has practically monopoly of the iron manufacture In this region, is making extensive preparations for largely increasing it's productive capacity. The furnace of Van Deusenville will be put in blast as soon as the charcoal now being burned | can be hauled in the spring, and by the first of June, MT. Barnum announces, the company s Berkshire and Litehfeld county furnaces will | be producing one hundred and fifty tons of | pig iron per day.
 The probable profits on this enormous pro- duction are significantly hinted at in the good fortune of the Housatonic railroad company, in the matter of it's steel rails. year ago the company purchased 5000 tons of steel rails, with which to finish reaying It's track to State l line. The price paid was $50 per ton. The same rails would now cost $100 per ton, so that the company could sell out it's bargain to- day if it chose, and pocket $150, 900 on the transaction. But that is not all The worn out iron rails will now. sell for $50 per ton, just what new steel cost. g year ago, so that the company will relay it's tracks with steel l for the bare cost of the labor.
