President Jarrett RefuFns-The Ho me
stead Works Stoppage.
1fTTsBURGH, August 22.-ltwas out of the
question to-day to evolve anything inter
estiBg in the iron situation. President
jarrett returned home lasteyening, but had
nonews to give. He spoke freely on the
question of the rumors that had gained cur
rency regarding the want and destitution Of
members of the association. He had made
itapoint to closely question members on
the subject and failed in every case to dis
close any case of want As regards the
situation at YOUNGSTOWN, Mr.. Jarrett stated
that there was nothing to tell The men
were firm and so were Brown, Bonnell &
Co, and that so far, the latter had not been
able to engage any workmen on the terms
proposed; they might in time obtain men,
but evidently Mr.. Jarrett was not sanguine
on that point. At Mckeesport he believed
that not more than three furnaces were at
work, though report placed the number at
re arding the stoppage of the Bessemer
Steel Works. Mr.. Smith, OF the firm in
question, had little to say. That little
sufticed to dispose OF rumors relative to
causes at work. The converting depart
ment it was found necessary to close, and
this throwing out at the rail mill it was
deemed best TO close the entire mill for
short time. The gentleman emphatically
denied that the Union or non-unionism
had anything to do with the stoppage. The
rumor given yesterday was widespread
one, however, and resulted in q call at the
office by Homestead tradesmen, who de-
sired light on the subject. Thr' retired

the Republican element of this section can
least afford to place at the head OF their
ticket

elected in the district, while the Republi-

GUlLESS robson.
He Complains That the Newspapers
are Against Him.


PHILADELPHIA, August 22.-Mr Robson
has arrived at his long-deserted home in
Camden, and is buSily repairing his fences.
He says that he appreciates the strength OF
the opposition, though he does not yet
know how great il is, and announces that
the Pennsylvania railroad interest is
against him, putting it in these terms: II
am given to understand that all the intiu-
ences at the command of Senator Sewcll
will be arrayed to prevent my nomination,
and am currently informed that the infu
ence of great railroad corporation, so far
oS it can be eXerted in a matter OF this
kind, is back of Senator Sewell. Whether
any opposition to Inc really comes from the
railrrad | do not really know. Possibly
the influence may be simply exerted
against me by those close to it and acting
as its agents, tha opposition being entirely
their own. If there is any reason why |
should be unpopular with this or with
other railroad companies, it is that while
willing to he their friend could not con-
sent to be their servant. Outside OF the
assertion that my rcnominatian wouldlnOt
be agreeable TO the railroad interest, the
only other objection that | hear OF is that If
! am renominatcd this time it will be for a
third term. The old idea of rotation in Of
flee is being broughtup If my experience
has taught me anything it is that no one
man, no matter what his other qualities
tions may be- is fit to do any really valua-
BILE work in Congress with satisfaction to
himself, until he has been there at least
two terms. A man may very easily make
mistakes in one term that he will be
anxious to correct in another. The only
thing, then, have to say about the. third
objection is that my services, If worth any
thing, will be worth more in consequence
of the experience have derived. These
two points, and the influence of the news
papers that are opposed to me, an opposi.
tion that think often runs into personal
abuse are the strongest factors in the con-
test against me-

THE POTENCY OF THE MAYOR.
An Old Citizens Idea OF the Mayors
Authority.
To the Editor ofthe Register.


The right and authority vested by the
charter and ordinances OF our city in the
Mayor, to remit fines and punishments i'm
posed by the police Judge, was not intend
ed by the Legislature or the City Council,
TO used and exercised only under peculiar
circumstances.
Something unknown to the Judge At the
time Of conviction; some palIiating cir
cumstanCcs must he dcve loped since the
conviction OF the offender, to warrant the
Mayor in issuing pardon, or, otherwise.
his meddling with the judgment OF the
court, would be a Hagrant assumption OF
undelegated power.
The mere appeal OF the party convicted
to his sympathies, without any other suih
Cient reason, as above detailed, does not
warrant an interference on the part OF the
Mayor With the Judgment of the Court, In
which the applicant for executive clemen-
dy was tried and convicted.
I'VE all remember Governor Clark, OF New
York. During his term OF office he granted
more pardOns than all the Governors In the
United States He granted pardons about
as fast a. the courts sent conyicts TO the
penitentiary, and the result In New York
was n fearful increase OF crime. He was a
Wbig Governor. His administration was
in the interest OF law breakers and against
the interest Of society.
Officers and courts have no encourage.
ment to arrest and punish lawbreakers and
dangerous criminals, when Governors and
mayors, who have more sympathy for the
criminal than they have for society at
large, make void what they have done by
the exercise Of the pardoning power. What
encouragement has a policeman TO arrest
yiolators OF the city ordinances, when he
knowns that the Mayor will turn him or
her loose again on the streets? None what
ever. The Mayor in exercising the very
delicate and dangerous prerogative
gwen him by constitutional law,
should be very careful and
discreet about it, exercise. He should
know that the person to whom he adjudges
a pardon is worthy Of il. Mayor Egerter
has been imposed on several times by such
unworthy persous. He is . gentleman OF
a large heart and always open TO the
appeals OF those who take advantage OF his
great kindness Of nature, but the Mayor
should remember that the people OF Wheel.

characters that his executive clemency
