Ia also known to be in an advanced state
of dilapidation and decay.
II is a Standing menace to life, hmo
aud PROPERTY. Nothing but q man mas
the ''foolhardiness" to enter 1t. IL Is
understood that the rats were long since
panic stricken with the situation ana
scampered. The cock-roaches are very
mnch fascinated with the prevailing
o5or but are seen to reconnoiter on the
outskirts and then turn about and run
Property holders on either side have
removed their valuables from adj
accent walls and when the wind blows
remove themselves to safe distance.
Nervous pedestrians who pass on the
pavement below are frequently noticed
10 cast furtive glances in the direction oil
the tottering structure and then close
their eyes while their lips appear to
humble a prayer until they have
moved to q safe distance.
We take it for granted that the ulteri-
or purpose in allowing this building TO
stand is TO kill somebody. We have the
utmost faith in the success OF the pro-
iect. Our chief concern is that it may
be utilized to the best advantage. There
are quite a large number OF our corps oil
city servants who might be spared.
There are some we don't like to spare.
There are others who would not be
killed il the building should fall On
them. They are the kind Of people that
can't be killed-neither politically nor
physically.
We don't want the tumble, when 1t
does come, to miss its purpose. we
don't want the opportunity wasted.
Somebody ought to be killed. We feel
some delicacy in designating the proper
turn to give such disaster, but 1t
ought not to fail Of good
result, and as We have no

upon unoffending citizens a grievous
penalty under the title OF "water rents,
and which has stopped its ears against
the appeals OF the public for relief, and
continues to stop them, and seems to
lack either the sense to conceive OF

THE POINT IN THE HOOP-IRoN
CONTROVERSY

CON HRONEhS1.
We haven't very much at stake in the
hoop iron controversy hereabouts, but
we all have read more or less about it
and the Treasury rulings which have
stirred up so much bad blood, without
having very clear idea Of the points at
issue.
The contest is one between the man.
uiactories of two different kinds OF
hoops, or hoops used for different pur-
poses. The one is the ordinary iron
hoop with which We are all familiar and
know all about its uses. The other is
an iron hoop used exclusively for bind
ing bales OF cotton, and known by the
trade as cotton ties"
There are only six or seven msnuisC-
tories Of iron cotton ties in this cour-
try-tSO in Ohio and the others in
Pennsylvania, the largest being in Pitts
burgh. These ties are made OF hoop
iron, but as they are special fabric
with 4 peculiar fastening, and are made,
MT in the usual form OF hoop iron, but
in the form OF ties, the Treasury Depart
ment distinguishes between them and
hoop iron, and decides that the duty on
the latter does not apply to the former.
1t makes the duty on ties s. per cent.
al valorem, while the duty on hoop
iron is . cents a pound.
The old method OF tying cotton bales
with hemp rope has been discarded and
the cheaper and better iron ties are DOW
employed exclusively, aud it requires
about 200, 900 bundles of them a year
to supply the planters. The question
whether these ties should be subject to
aduty OF 50 per cent. al valorem as
special fabric, OF be clsssed as hoop-iron
and made to pay l ] cents pound-twice
as great rate as the other-inyolves
about S6OO.OO a year.
The Pennsylvania and Ohio manu-
facturers of hoop iron hold that the
treasury ruling is great injustice to
them, just as the New England manu-.
facturers Of knit goods pretend that a
similar ruling on these goods is very in
juriSps to their vocation.
On the other hand the cotton planters
hold that if the treasury should alter its
ruling and decide that cotton ties shall
pay a duty Of ll-2een roundabout
so per cent. al valorem-that it would
be TAR greater injustice to the cotton
planters who buy and use these ties.
The duty OF LIZ per pound which
the hoop iron fellows want to put upon
the cotton ties, would cost the planters
$4,000 year. They say it would be
Prohibitory duty; that 1t would pre-
vent ties from being imported, and give
to the half dozen home manufacturers a
monopoly Of the market with power to
make their own prices; that il would, in
short deprive the government of the
revenue 1t now receives on imported
ties, and place the planters at the mercy
o; the hall dozen manufacturers in two
States. i
This seems 10 be the whole question
and, on its face, the cotton planters seem |
TO have the best Of the argument.

IL the Senate debate is suspended
long enough to permit the confirmation
OF all the pending nominations, what
possible excuse will there be for a re-
newal OF the deadlock when President
GARFIELD has no longer nominations to
submit? DO the Republican Senators
imagine that any considerable number
of their own party would approve the
effort to force lot OF new clerks into
Office when the Senate is ready to adj
i,urn? We shall be only too well salts
fled TO have them try the experiment, If
they can persuade themselves that there
is ANYTHING 10 make out OF it.

They have new style Of temperance
movement at Berwick, Pa, where the
President OF the Jackson d Woodin
Manufacturing Company, which EN-
ploys LOO men in it's car shops and roll
ing miles, has met the hotel and saloon
keepers and agreed to pay them the
amount they would derive as profit on
the sale Of liquor for one year, on condi-
ton that they will not apply for licenses
and will abstain from the sale
OF LIQUOR. The agreement was
confirmed, and the Berwick hotels
and saloons will be run on temperance
principles for q year. The cost OF this
Temperance movement to the manufac-
turing company is about $1,000, but it is
believed that they will save more than
that in the steadiness OF their men and
the law abiding character OF the town.
The company has orders ahead for a
year and expects TO DO business OF
S4OOO,GOO, and the $4,000 paid for ex-
emption from drunkenness is regarded
as a very cheap insurance against the
interruption of their work.

that to FIX the line along the rough land

made which would more ettectually divide
the farms than the track laid upon the
level bottom, besides making dangerous
and impossible ditch for stock to ball into,
the farmers have become reconciled TO
have the road follow the level land, which
will also materially lessen the cost OF build
ing-which will be comparatively cheap,
provided there is proper liberllity shown
In granting the right Of way. The route
has been permanently located from this

below this the people are exceedingly
anxious TO secure the road and will make
liberal terms on the right OF way.
