A Washington special states that iron
and steel men from Pennsylvania and
Ohio are working vigorously to have the
Mckinley bill reported to the House.
Some Of them, however, do not ike the
bill in its present shape. There is among
them a strong movement to have the
steel feature Of the bill eliminated and to
confne its provisions exclusively to hoop
iron. 1t is thought probable by some
that this will be done, and that the duty
on hoop iron viii be fixed in the bill at
Il cents per pound. Some of the steel
men are almost violently opposed to leav-
ing steel out Of the bill. This quarrel
among the protectionists will likely de-
lay for some time final action by the
committee

By the terms of the new apportion-
ment law the electoral college will con.
sist of 401 members, instead of 800, as
in the old college, and a successful can
didate must have POI votes, instead of
the memorable 1S5. Dakota is likely to
become a State before the next Presi-
Dental election, in which case the col
lege will contain 4Q4 members, and a
majority will require 203 votes In the
election of the last decade the sixteen
Southern States cast 13S electoral votes
in the next they will cast 153. Assum-
ing that Dakota will at that time rank
as State and be Republican in poll
tics, and that the South will be
''solid" for the Democratic candi-
date, Just 80 additional votes will
be needed to elect the Democratic nomi-
nee. Under the new law New York will
have &c votes and Indiana Is, making
with the Southern vote 2O4, or majority
and one vote to spare. If either of these
two States should fail to go Democratic
the loss of its votes could with difficulty
be repaired. With Indiana Republican
the Democrats would need Nevadas
three votes, New Jerseys nine and Con-
necticuts four. The importance of
Ohio's twenty-one votes is evidently not
diminished under the new apportion-
ment. The main interest of the Presi-
Dental elections of the next decade will,
as heretofore, centre in New York, In
diana and Ohio.

Truth is indeed sometimes stranger
than fiction. If novelist had developed
beforehand the plot which. in so brief a
period, transferred the administration OF
the great republic from Garfield to Ar
thur, 4. e., from conservative republi-
canism to stalwartism, his story would
have been regarded as impossible fc-
ton.
Under whatever circumstances Gar
field was elected, he speedily became the
President of the whole people. He
quieted the fears and won the confidence
of the long abused South, while his most
untoward, seemingly impossible fall re-
united the dIsjointed sections, which
seemed to vie with each other in EN-.
balming his body in sympathy and tears.
That the deeds of such a man should
be so soon forgot; that his enemies
SHOULD revel in the spoils won by his
valor; that his very friends should not
only give sanction to, but join in. the
crusade of his assassin to despoil him of
his glories. finds parallel only in barba-
rous ages of the past, when but faint
glimmer of civilization penetrated the
dark and sanguinary souls of men.
Yet, with that calm elaboration and
measured self-confdence inspired by
concentrated public appreciation, an en-
tirely new administration, proclaimed
in advance and set up by the assassin,
proceeds with the utmost assurance,
link by link, to un3hain the political
harmonies happily blended by Garfeld's
administration, and with the cool self
graduation of conquerOr, to divide the
spoils among its followers. And while
not crumb can be spared even to con-
ciliate the discounted friends of the as
sassinated administration, every effort is
made to change its conservatism into
stalwartism. Roscoe Conklings are given
high and honorable place, and millions are
syndicated to attempt to venalize and cor
rupt the "solid South, so as to increase
the permanency of stalwart rule

Protection does not always protect
American labor, the assertions of the
protective tarifltes to the contrary, not
withstanding. The number of workmen
employed in iron and steel making in
the United States in 1870 was n, 500,
whose wages per year amounted to S4O.-
514. 9S1. In 1880, according to census
statistics, the number of workmen en-
ployed in this branch of manufacturing
industry had increased to lao. 9S8, whose
wages amounted to $50, 476, 735 per year.
The capital invested in the business has
nearly doubled since 1870, and the
quantity of iron and steel produced has
doubled, but it will be observed that the
average yearly wages of employees has
fallen from 1922 per head in 1870 to
1894 per head in 1880.

For some months past the gold lovers
and gold owners of the Eastern States
have been industriOusly engaged in en-
deavoring to persuade Congress to re.
peal the silver law, and virtually demon
etize silver again, they claiming that
silver does not circulate, and is
a nuisance. Nevertheless, since it is well
known that silver does circulate freely,
both in kind and through sill
yer certificates, the House Com
mittee on Coinage viii recommend
the maintenance Of silver coinage and
the continued issuance of silver certifl-
Gates. SO the gold owners might as well
abandon the hope of having their pos
sessions arlifcially enhanced in value at
the peoples expense. The Republican
Bourbons have progressed so far az to
realize that, in this matter Of currency,
at least, such a policy would be unwise,
and. in consequence. the silver bill viii
stand.

It seems that Edison's electric light
experiments have been tested at the

On Friday last seventy Of them were used
as a Substitute for twice that number Of
gas lights by compositors at their cases.
The beautiful, steady white light gave
great satisfaction. Each one could be ex-
tinguished OF lighted at pleasure, or all
could be extlnguished or lighted at once.
It was also noticeable that when the gas
was lighted the temperature Of the room
rose several degrees, and when it was
extinguished the room became several
degrees cooler within half an hour.
The expense Of the seventy lights was
estimated to be ten cents an hour.

The crevasse IN Kemp levee, Concor-

and from to ) feet deep. The levee is
said % be one Of the most important in
the State. 1t is situated in the lower end
of Tensas parish, near the upper line of
COncOrdia, and about four miles above
Waterproof, on the Louisiana shore.
This levee was built for the protection of
a large and important area in the par
ishes Of Concordia and Tensas, one of
the richest regions of the State, but is so
situated that a flood in that section can
spread over a considerable area and
penetrate north to the town of st.
