Good Sense Come Back.

The American Iron and Steel association
can be sensible when the election Is over.
They have issued an address which they
conclude by urging their members to con-
duct their business as If we had faith in
the good sense Of the American people and
an American Congress. This is just
what we urged the iron and steel manu-
fucturers to believe before the election, when
they pretended to believe that everything
would go to the " demnition bow wows,n
if Cleveland should be elected. 1t was a
patent thought that no administ ration
would be so foolish as TO hazard any disas-
ter to the established business in
terests of the countrys The Iron
and Steel association now declare
in their address that they consider business
to be improving and that the depression
of the past two years has reached its limit.
This Is confession that the Democratic
victory has not been a business smasher.
They say that their statistics show that the
production Of iron and steel last year, in
this country, was Of greater tonnage than
of any year prior to 1SSl and that it has
all been consumed and been paid for. There
was no abnormal accumulation of stock at
the end of the year. This significant fact
shows that the country manufactures, even
under the undoubted Geyere limitation of
its business, n great amount of iron and
steel and consumes all that it makes. The
increased demand which is certain to come,
with business revival and the country 5
natural growth, will tax its manufacturing
capacity when it sets in and will cause the
lighting of its idle fires. There may or may
not be sudden boom in prices that will
depend upon whether the merchant gets
excited or keeps COOL 1t will be a great
deal better for everyone if there is nd boom,
but a slow and steady return to retnuner-
ative prices. There is no occasion for any
wild or any great advance. The manu-
featuring resources of the country are very
great and equal to any demand if it is not
made with unreasonable suddenness and
ferocity. The great development of the
Southern iron fields will be check upon a
great rise in pig iron, and it is reasonably
certain that the prices now ruling will not
be permanently advanced In the future TO
any great extent. The ironmasters' profit
will be more likely to come from lessened
cost in freights and raw materials.

Our fine mother tongue seems lately to

have forged for us-it is impossible for such
an one to view without the bitterest pain and

The Contests for Alderman.

The Examiner frantlcally calls upon its
party friends to q stick to the ticket" 1t
is especially exercised about the defections
in the Fourth and Sixth wards, where the
particularly obnoxious Republican nomi-
nations for aldermen have raised revolts.
The conduct of Spurrier in his Office has
been so fragrant that it transcends party
liberation and Dave Deem is such a
chronic and persistent spoilsmen that his
party is very naturally sick and tired of his
everlasting office holding and Office hunt
ing, and many of the best Repub-
licans OF his ward will not vote for
him. In the Ninth ward Let
ter Carrier Pinkerton wants to make
sure his calling to one office before he quits
another, and many disgusted Republicans
are ready to teach him to know when he
has enough. In these respective wards the
Democracy have fit candidates in Messrs
III. Z. Carson, James =. Plucker and Sher.
Smith, whose election would prove some
promise OF redeeming the administration
OF the alderman's Office from such abuses
AS have scandalized it here, and which
have made Spurrier and Barr about as ex-
pensive to the county as com
mon pleas judge. There Is no rea-
son why any Democrat should give
the slightest support or cOuntenance to
the Republican nominees for aldermen:
nor why he should fail to vote for the
Democratic candidates in these wards for
this important office. And If they receive
the support they are entitled to they can
be elected.

since the time that the Republican patty
redlstrlcted this city and got almost abso-
lutte control Of its councils by vile gerry
mander, its course in the municipal govern

was felt as check upon these tendencies :;

In excess OF the appropriations and of in

splritless official, who exercises little in
