AFTER long and painful silence Ny
Dear Hubbell is heard from. He is oppressed
with doubt and filed with fear that Gov.
Cleveland will be unable to carry out his
ideas of good government because the
dreadful office-seekers wont let him, and he
will fall a sacrifice to their rapacity. My
Dear Hubbell for one of the Republican ras-
Gals already turned out need expect no
hyprocritical anxiety. Whatever experience
the new President may have with ofiice-seek
ers, be will not find among them any such
obstacle to honest government as the delie-
ious Hubbell, and even if he had such a
creature to deal with, there is no doubt but
even such mastery iniquty as he is capable
of would be crcumvented and defeated.

wholesale Rednction of Wages.

PITTsBURG. Pa, Jan. 4.-The peculiarly
connected With TIE proposed resumption at a
large reduction Of Wages at the Bessemer
steel works, Homestead, Is that neither the
employers or the leaders Of those employed
will furnish any information FOR publication
concerning the matter. Usually there is a
superabuniaDce Of grievances and eXplana-
lions, but both sides 70 the disagreement
maintain absolute secrecy. There are eleven
Bessemer steel mills 10 this eOun-
try all Of which have shut down
during the past six weeks,
They employ from 70, 900 70 5000 men, all
Of whom are members Of the AmalgAmated

stated cause Of the suspension is lack Of
orders, but the workmen say that the real
purpose IS TO effect a general and sweeping
reduction Of wages. The Homestead WORKS,

Iron Trade Review.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. A review of the
iron trade of this country and abroad has
Just teen completed by JAS NJ Swank, sec
Rotary of the American Iron and Steel asso-
citation. He SAYS In the United States the
demand for leading articles Of iron and steel
was less in 1884 than in 1877. We made
less pig iron and bar iron, fewer steel rails,
less steel for miscellaneous purposes and
fewer kegs of nails. Prices fell as the de-
maud receded. Only in steel rails has there
becu any recovery from the lowest prices and
even here the recovery is slight. Steel rails
commenced the year at $34, fell to S26.50 in
September, since which time they rallied to
S2S. No. and anthracite foundry pig iron
ut Philadelphia brought $20.50 at the begin
ming of the year, SlS at the
close. The best bar iron at Phadel-
phia sold at two cents per pound
n January, but for many months sold at one
and eighttenths of cent per pound, or
$40. 80 per gross ton. THIS is lower prices
than we quoted during the panic years,
except for Il short time in 1879. Store price
Of cut nails in Philadelphia, go per keg in
January. from which there was a steady de-
cline 10 81 10 in October, the present prices.
The price during the panic years did not fall
so low till March, 1879. But from this low
price there was speedy recovery. If the
farmers Of the vest could dispose Of their
wheat and corn, aud other staples, at higher
prices than now prevail, we might soon see
an increased demand and better prices for
iron and steel, hut until the farmers pros
poets improve we cannot see better DAYS for
our iron and steel manufacturers, nor for
some other manufacturers. The country at
large cannot Dc prosperous If the farmers are
not. In Europe the year which mas Just
closed vas one Of steadily declining. Tue
prosperity for thu iron trade Of Great Britain
las especially suffered and it Is at the present
time in very depressed and pauicky con
dition. The production and prices have
both greatly declined, and real stagnation
prevails in many districts, with many tnous-
auds Of workmen In actual want. The pro-
duction Of pig iron In the United States last
year was estimated equal at least 70 that Of
1850, which was The year Of the iron boom.

No Fence Law.
Somerville Reporter and Falcon.

SomerV1lle Reporter and Falcon.
A bill has been introduced in the
Legislature in relation to the above
subject by Hon. J. C. Harrell. The
bill is good one, but the people are
not yet prepared for such a radical
change in methods. The most that
can be expected of the popular mind
now is no fence law against hogs
only. Let law be passed making
three barbed wires lawful fence, and
it will bring an era of prosperity to
this already expense-laden county.
The great expense attached to fencing
now renders it almost impossible 10
keep the farms up. All this expense
is incurred for the sake of a few thOus-
and hogs-not sufficient to make
meat for one-ffteenth of the popula-
ton.
Such a law would lead to the raising
of more stock. Meadows would be
made, and arranged for grazing. The
quality of stock would be improved
and a better era inaugurated. 1t
would benefit the stock of rich and
poor, and interfere with none
Mr.. Harrell has done well in this
effort, and should he be able to pass Il
no fence law, modified as we suggest,
he can well congratulate himself upon
his public career. His bill will sooner
or later of necessity become law
Timber is getting scarcer every year,
and the supply is annually diminish
ing, while the cost OF fencing is in
creased. These are facts which will
force this result upon the people of
the county.

ONE of the handsOmest and most
unique and original ideas in chrome
photography is the Columbia Valentine
just issued by the Pope Manufacturing
Co, of Boston, Mass. The design,
which is in twelve colors and mounted
upon a penal, is a genuine work of
art The picture, from a painting by
Copeland, of Boston, is artistically di-
vided into three scenic sections; the
the first, view of early sunrise. with
fine atmospheric effect represents the
wheelmans morning ride; the centre
scene, appropriately framed by the
tire of an Expert bicycle, is striking
ly beautiful view of picturesque coun-
try, lady riding upon a tricycle. ac-
companied by Il mounted bicyclist,
crossing rustic bridge in the fore
ground; the last scene is a wheel by
moonlight, the bright rays OF the hub
lights cutting the semi-darkness. Upon
the back of the panel is a poem des-
criptive of the picture.

The Penitentiary.
Pulaski Citizen.

There are two underlying errors in
this penitentiary discussion. The
penitentiary is neither reformatory
institution nor a picnic beer garden
and the gentlemen VINO suffer them
selves to fall inside its wall must work
like Pluto beating tan bark and must
expect to catch Z Pluribus Unum on
the bare back at stated intervals of
irregular frequency. We call upon
the Banner to bathe its bumptlOusness
in the lotion above mixed. On the
other hand, the penitentiary is not
cattle pen and the inmates are not
brutes, and it is cruel, inhuman and
beastly to subject them to the punish
ment inflicted. We call upon the
legislature to slap the stuffin' out of
the managers for their inhunanity.
Toning things down to conform TO
these two ideas, always remembering,
however, that the Cherry brand upon
anything is a prima facie badge of
cussedneSs, we come TO see that the
present lease is about as good as it can
be unless it was bt tier. In 9th,
tongues, the darned old thing is a
monstrous white elephant. You can't
make cOnvicts work without compe-
ting with some honest labor. You
must not treat them humanity because
they are put there to be punished, or
inhumanly because it would be cruel.
You must lease the concern because
if the state operates it she'll lose
money. You must not lease it because
the lessees make a bushel of money.
Considering that it used to be an
enormous expense and is now big
profit to the state, the perplexities
above enumerated surrender to the
StdtU quo.

sketch of Fl MabdI.

As with al other leaders of his kind,
the early life of Ell Mahdi is involved
in obscurity, and il is probable that a
veil of mystery has been purposely
thrown about It. The most absurd
stories have been told about his birth
and education, one being that he was
an American negro, educated by the
Catholics. A glance at his portrait
will demonstrate the folly of this tale.
The probable truth is that Ell Mahdi's
real name is Mohammed Achmed;
that he is the son of a petty Arab
Sheikh, who was brought up to be a
fakir, or mendicant priest 1t ia said
that when of age he retired to an is
land named Aba, in the White Nile,
and lived there in life of asceticism
and religious meditation. Such an
epoch is always placed by tradition in
the life of all founders of religious
movements. Confucuis, Guatema, and
Mohammed are all credited with just
such period of retirement.
When FL Mahdi had prepared him.
self in this way for his role of proph-
ct, he began to gain influence among
neighboring sheiks, the heads Of pred
atory tribes, and, it is said, especially
acquired great power bymeans OF his
marital relations to them. An ancient
prophesy was brought forward, or in
vented. which seemed to point TO Mo
manned Achmed by the most positive
signs of the race, tribe, date OF birth
and personal appearance, as the proph-
ct by whom the. power of Islam wa
again to be raised TO its former glory
the Sultanate restored to the orthodox
line of descent, and the power of the
''infidels' crushed.
Gradually the False Prophet col.
lected the tribes about his banner, and
for more than two years his army
slowly advanced northward, gathering
strength as it went, and easily over
powering its enemies. At last it has
approached Khartoum, the outpost OF
civilization, has put to ignominious
flight the cowardly Egyptians and
captured the British troops under
Gen. Gordon.
