Collector Hartranft meets Mr.. Robeson's
charges of custom house interference
in the Camden district with a prompt
and explicit denial. This is salts

learn, as the public has from this incident,
that Congressman Robeson is the foe OF
the interference of the Office holder in
politics, aud that Collector Hartranft re-
sents the suggestion that he permits such
AL interference. Now if Mr.. Robeson

Tom Marshall ana Major brown too lBusy
to Gail on Drawer.
While General Beaver was in Pitts
burgh he held an informal levce at the
office of United States District Attorney
Stone. A number of prominent citizens
called, but two, Thomas NJ. Marshall and
Major A. NJ Brown, whom the general
desired to see, did not make their appear
ance. Colonel Stone went in search of
them, found them in the university building
and invited them to come down to his
Office to see the general. Much to his sur
prise both declined to so, and neither lost
much time in making excuses. Iaasmuch
as Marshall was given a place on the
ticket with Beaver, and Brown a>pired to
the same honor, their declinatiOn to call
on the chief is viewed in the light Of a
snub. The incident was kept very quiet,
but leaked out last evening and is creating
considerable talk.

that Brady and himself had saved the

it would be i shame to tax the
people to pu a value upon what may
be at present as valueless as dirt. But
especially is it brazen to ask duty on
iron ore when it is sold on the shores OF
Lake Superior at eight dollars a ton to be
carried thence to distant furnaces at
an additional cost of several dollars !.
ton and when it is sent over the coun
try from Lake Champlain starting with
a cost of five dollars a ton and when it
goes from Iron Mountain, at a still
greater initial cost, to far OFF places.
Good ores are shown by these figures to
be very valuable and profitable to their
miners. They need no duty. Poor ores
might he made valuable to their owners
by " duty Oh foreign ores, but it is not
the public interest to make them valu-
able by public tax. Ores ought lie
made as cheap as possible that their
manufacture may be as free as possible.
Probably there will be many cranky
and crazy propositions before the Cres-
son convention. We trust that the del
egates will show as much good sense,
public spirit and unsellishness rs the oc
casion will admit of, and make them
selves as acceptable as possible to public
sentiment. We have not heard that the
tariff commission is to be on hand to he
