special quotes the argus as follows: 1t can
be said with authority, and should be dis
tinctly stated, that if the wishes of Cleve-
land be consulted the inauguration will be
made simple, brief and as plain as possible,
alike to comport with the known aversion
Of the President-elect to public display. 1t
is to be expected that many Democratic
citizens and many Democratic organiza-
tons from all parts of the country will be
present in Washington during the inaugu-
ration. Competition among them to act as
an escort thither 20 the President-elect is
said to be spirited. That competition will
decrease when the fact is announced that
Cleveland will proceed to the national capi-
tai without an escort, and with as much ex-
pedltlon and privacy as circumstances will
permit or his preferences secure.

restrict the production of pig iron by bank

allowed 10 die quietly. Instead of further
reports received at the Office of
the Pig Iron Association in this city, are to
the effect that number of furnaces will
blow in during the next month. In view

in the immediate future for better
prices, there is room for more iron than
is piled in the yards at present.
