A Residence for the President.

From the St. Louis Gobe-Democrat.
Washington, April 24.-Mr. Dezendorf, of
Virginia, introduced bill in the house to-day
appropriating ST., ooo, 900 for the purchase of
a plat of ground containing not more than
twenty-five acres, and the erection OF proper
building, with suitable accommodations, for
the residence of the president OF the United
States. The present building used as such
residence is to be set apart for an executive
office for the use of the president. A COM
mittee, to consist of the secretaries OF war and
interior, the encouragement; and one mem
Der each from the senate and house, will be
appointed to determine the location, price,
value, validity of the title to the plat, the price
for which shall not exceed $4,000. The en-
gineer in chief of the army and the architect OF
the capitol may be added to the commission,
and advertisements for designs and plans tor
the building are to be made by the commits
sion The work is to be done by day labor.
The old Good Friday custom of hogging an
effgy of Judas Iscariot was, after lapse of
two years, duly celebrated in the London
docks on April 7 by the crews of three Portu-
guese and Maltese vessels. The effigy of the
traitor, hewn out of block OF timber, was
carried by chosen members of the crews round
the quarterback and hanged from the yard
arm, and each man chanted his vituperation
as he lashed the figure with knotted ropes.
The scourging over, Judas was cut down,
thrown upon the deck, spat upon, cursed and
kicked to the galley fire, where he was burned
into charred mass, and then hurled into the
water, after which the sailors went in process
sion to church.

4 SOnBRE VIEW OF THE IRON
TRADE.

We have strange things presented in
the business as we'll as the political
world. A depressed condition of the
iron and steel trade is one of the bust
ness features of the present time that
perplexes the philosophers as well Is
practical men.
The suspension of the most of these
industries during thesummer, by reason
of the strikes, was expected to bring an
increased demand and advanced prices
this fall, but well informed Journal,
the Iron and Steel Bulletin, declares that
t'the condition of our iron and steel in
dustries is one of marked and increasing
depression, and in the near future other
industries must be injuriOusly affected
thereby"
The Bulletin attributes the condition
first, to the poor harvests of last year,
enforcing economy upon the farmers.
Second, to the adoption of q conserva-
tive policy in the building of new rail-
roads and in improving the efficiency
of old railroads. Third the turning Of
the balance oftrsde against US through
the heavy Importation of foreign pro-
ducts.
These reasons do not appear to be
conclusive, although they may have
some bearing on the situation. 1t has
generally been believed that We have
built more miles of railroad this year
than in any other year of our
history. But the Bulletin alleges that
there are few orders for rails for next
years delivery and very few new rail-
road enterprises afioat. Steel rails have
never been so cheap as now since the
close of the hard times. Pig iron and
bar iron are held at correspondingly
low rates. The statement is made that
the wOrkmen connected with the steel
works of Chicago, Joliet and st. Louis
have consented already to reduction
of 20 per cent.
Our local industries in the same line
are not affected to any pereeptible de-
gree, by the alleged depression else
where. There may not be "a boom" in
the iron trade or in general business,
but the outlook does not seem to war
rant any gloomy forebodings.

TIE DRESSED BEEF BUSINESS AND
THE RAILROADS.

The report that the great railway
magnates are arranging to crush the re-
Gently initiated business of shipping
dressed beef from Chicago and st. Louis
to Eastern cities, will not be received
with favor by the public.
This business has had the effect in
New York ofreducing the prices OfgOod
beef in the market 4 and 6 cents on the
pound, and dealers are coming around
to rejoice in the innovation, as their
trade is the better for it.
It is a perfectly legitimate business.
1t Is business for which the public has
. right to demand fair play. Whatever
eheapens any commodity will, by the
laws of trade, take precedence OF the
more expensive process. It has right
TO live, and If the railroads assume to
dictate what kinds of business shall and
shall not be done, the public cannot be
expected to tamely submit Such an
effort at downright despotism can work

under the control Of the Democratic
party. 1t also gives to the same party the
control of the next House OF Representa-
tiyes in Congress and quite probably OF the
Senate as well, and in addition strong
present probability. almost logical IN It's
certainty, of adding the control OF the Ex-
ecutiys branch in 1884. This all means Q
present promise of an entry by the Demo
cratic party upon long lease Of public
power; and to make this certain and q
blessing to the whole country 1t Is only
necessary that the party should be true to
the principles upon which it was founded
and which, if applied now to the existing
issues, will be recognized as wise BY men
of all parties"
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1882-11-15

nothing but harm TO those who engage
in it. 1t strikes directly at the interests
of the poor, for there is nothing which
so greatly concerns the poor as cheap
food, and this movement of the railway
kings win be simply an effort to pre-
vent the sale of food ut reduced prices.
They may succeed in their endeaver,
but it will prove in the end success
very dearly bought.
