here have been interviewed in regard to the
tariff and the effect OF the passage of the bills
at present before Congress. The general
opinion expressed is unfavorable TO the bills,
and predictions are freely made that their
passage would prove disastrous to the iron
industries of this country. The Hon. H. W.
Oliver, IT,. of the Tariff Commission,
said the reductions in the metal schedule
already decided upon would open the doors
to importatious of large quantity of for
eign iron. The immsdiate effect OF the pas
sage of either bill in the present shape in
this locality will be that there will not be
work more than half The time next year.
Joseph D. Weeks, secretary OF the Western
Iron Association, said the passage of the bills
pending will be extremely disastrous. All
ever the country orders will stop coming
into iron MILF, and the result will be gen.
eral suspension OF work until the extent OF
the reduction is fully known.

best results yet achieved by that most prom

for many years has been pressing this ques-

authorizes county courts at the January
term to choose three turnpike commissioners,
one TO be chairman, and one to be secretary,
the latter To receive not more than $1,000 per

MED the statements made that the diminu-

that the government suppressed freedom Of

CHARITY.

AL men are liable to trip and fall;
The strongest cannot always travel straight;
And some have not the comprehensive tate
That brings the hep when need begins to call.
And some bear weights too heavy for their par
1t Is not every one can find the grace
To do the right thing in the proper place;
But want of judgment is not want OF heart.
Nor is the mental balance always set
Upon an even beam. so the least jar
May dull the fine edge of the bearing bar.
And make the man his level self forget.
And patterns nodded by an ANGELS hand
Grow, in the finishing. more fit for he'll;
1t is not always possible to tell
The spaniel by the door at which he stands.
So, then, as all are liable to err,
The strongest should take pity on the weak,
And in the works of Others ever seek
For good-the good they cannot find infer.

LETTER FROM THE AMERICAN CONSUL AT

COhh ~ IhE STATE DEfAhIAENT.
WAsHISGToN, February 9.-The United
States consul at Cork, ireland, has written
an interesting dispatch to the Department of
State in regard TO the Industrial Exhibition
of Arts, Products, Manufactures and Ma
chinery to be held in that city during the
summer and fall of 1888. The former ex-
hibilions of this cha, acIer which have been
held in Ireland have failed to produce the
hoped-for satisfactory result, owing to dis
sensions of political character among their
promoters Proiting by their former ex-
peri.nce, however, those having the present
scheme in hand have decided upon ignoring
all questions of patronage and politics, and
The indications are that the forthcoming ex-
hibition will be grand success. Ia conuec-
ton with the display of Irish products there
will be held the annual agricultural, horse
and dairy shows, the principal exhibitions
OF the kind held in the south Of Ireland.
