The following letter of General Grant
to Cyrus w. Field, and the sentiments
it expresses are characteristic of the
one man whose nerve, energy and dog
ged persistency in the right course led
our army on to victory. If anything
was lacking to complete the admiration
of the American people, North and
South, for our most distinguished citi-
zen, the want has been supplied by the
prompt refusal on his part to become a
pensioner of the Government or reci-
pient of gifts of charity. The subscrip-
ton which Cyrus w. Field and other
wealthy New Workers have been raising
for his benefit was to pay debt of
$4,000 borrowed by the General Just
before the failure of the firm of Grant
& Ward, and secured by mortgage on
his personal effects, war relics, gifts
from foreign princes and distinguished
citizens at home and abroad, private
library, &c. The letter is as follows:
New York, Jan. 6, 'S5.-My Dear
Sir: Through the press and otherwise
learn that you with few other friends
of mine are engaged in raising sub
scription for my benefit. j appreciate
the motive and the friendship which
have dictated this course on your part,
but on mature reflection / regard it as
due to myself and family to decline this
proffpreu ppnprOsify / reprat that /

. NOTES ON IND USTRY AND TRADE.

CopPER-During the last week tho London price
of Chill bars has fallen to the lowest point on
record fi6 lie. Cd, and at this rate the contract
recently made between the producers of Lake cop
nor and the manufacturers will prove altogether
unsatisfactory to the producers. When this con-
tract was first reported, it observed that 1t gave
extraordinary power to those interested IN reduc-
ing the price of copper as against the producers,
because the market for Chill bars in London is
very narrow one, and easily influenced by specula-
tive manipulation. The current quotation here Is
still IL Is cents for Lake while other brands are
offered at IL cents with 10a cents bid. But
if the market continues under the con-
troll of those who seem to rule it. manu-
facturers wall presently get their Lake copper at ten
cents or less The consumption already increases,
and il is stated that the pool finds difficulty in
making deliveries. In recent statistical statements
il has been maintained that large stocks have been
held up to this year both by the Lake and Western
companies. If these have now been cleared of, as
some say, the consumption must for SEINE time past
have considerably exceeded the production.
IRON MANUFAorURE.-Som journals sneer con-
tinualy at the recent circular of the Iron and Steel
Association, in which the opinion was expressed
that the end of the depression in business was near
at hand Possibly the statements of the circular
were based rather upon hopes than upon ascer-
tanned facts. but 1t is worth while
to notice that In some Of the journals which in
duge most freely in this of criticism the state
ment appears that two Or three furnaces IL Penn
sylvania are now preparing to blow in" Unless
tho managers of these furnaces are particularly
unwise, this would indicate that they hnd larger
demand for products than they have been able TO
find for some time previously. While no change in
the price appears at Nsw-York, 1t is noticed that
the quotation for anthracite pig No. is little
higher ut Philadelphia than it was week ago. La
manufactured iron everything seems 70 depend

STRONG LAWS But WEAK ADMINISTR4-



TON.
Popular censure commonly falls upon alleged
defect in the laws, when abuses flourish But Il
much more freqnen. cause of persistent wrong
doing than weak law is weak administration
The law was sufficient to prevent Tweeds
crimes. had it been in hands prepared to admin
lister it. The law in Judge Moore's hands has
proved effective in furnishing pool-sclling in
Kings County. The law III Connecticut the
other day proved strong enough to send three
well-connected bank embezzers to the Peni-
Tertiary. The law has always suiiiced in this
city to put down gambling and to close the
saloons on Sunday, when there has been real
determination to enforce 1t. But most of the
abuses which offend public morals or trespass
upon public rights owe their existence to neg
lect of duty on the part OF administrative
officers. 1t is Of little use to ill the statute
book with laws against these abuses so long as
those who fattcn on them are able to corrupt
the officials charged with their execution. And
when we speak of corruption we refer not only
TO the purchase of immunity with money or its
eouiyalent. but to the various modes in which
the self interest of law-breakers appeals to the
self-interest of weak administrators. Whether
the fundamentally is hard cash. or promise of
poltica support, the result is equally corruption
and the betrayal OF trust.
At intervals there arises some just Judge or
other official whose Tesolute performance of
duty battles the promoters of abuses, and ii is
then seen that the fault never was in the law,
but in those who failed to execute it. The pre-
sumption is that there are few public wrongs for
which existing statutes do not furnish adequate
remedies, but that the difficulty lies in getting
those remedies applied. In Europe justice is
sometimes defeated through the paralyzng in
Auence of the upper classes upon the courts
Here such defects more often result from the
political entanglements of the officials con-
cerned, and political influence Is too commonly
exercised on behalf of the most mischievous
breaches of law. The public, however, are slow
to realize the nature and origin of the evils they
suffer from. Year after year they continue to
put faith iu legislation, and continue to neglect
administration. Experience is declaring always
that poor laws can be made to 90 long way il
therght men are set toadmlnister them, where
as the best laws in the world will fail IL un-
trustworthy administrators have them in
charge. For all this the masses seem to think
that anybody can Administer the laws, and that
it Is only necessary to keep pilinR up new

TEMPERANCE ISSUES.

The Minnesota Legislature Is again engaged
in struggling with the temperance question,
license law having been defeated recently
under circumstances which aroused great
deal of Indignation. Some of the members
therefore explain that they are really in favor
Of much higher license law, and graduated
measure, with licenses rapidly increasing
according to the size of towns, was introduced
and by the committee reported back favOrably
within an hour. On the part OF the dealers 1t
was urged that even a high license law would be
much better than no such law at all, because,
without a license, there would be strong prob
ability of the success of prohibtory measures.
Somewhat the same question came up in the
Ohio Legislature Four Republicans voted at
first, with certain of the Democrats, in favor OF
a license amendment. Not a little irritation
followed, and when the matter came to final
vote the Republicans left tho Democrats to
support their ingenious device alone. The
result was that the measure was defeated, and
another scheme for dividing the Republican
party on the liquor question altogether failed
As the Legislature is Democratic, the respon :
sibilty for any action that may be taken in that
State will rest where it ought to rest, with those
tinued demagogism prepared the way for a
heavy prOhibitory vote.
In some of the Southern States, remarkable
progress toward absolute prohibition is being
made by local action. One county after another
has been captured, until, in several States, there
Is a prospect that the liquor traffic may be
entirely prohibited. In tina. region, it is a
noteworthy fact that the Democratic managers
are content to pursue the course which the
Republicans in many Northern States pursue ;
they leave the people Of each locality to decide
as they choose on the liquor question, irrcspec-
tive of politics. In the Northern States
progress would have been quite as easy, IL the
advocates of prohibition had not chosen to serve
the Democratic party rather than their cause
ard so to create political issues which Tor the
present render their success impossible.

An ENCOURAGIYG OUTLOOK.

Who is going to be elected Governor next
fall, a Republican or a Democrat AMI what
is to be the political complexion of the rest OF
the State ticket that is to be chosen2 Already
these questions are being asked in every
county, and although it is too early to begin
canvassng, one or two salient observations are
III order.
First, then, there is good and sufficient rea-
son for the Republicans looking forward to the
State campaign with the earnest expecta-
ton of success. In his thoughtful ad lress
at the Union League reception, Senator Evarts
remarked 81 believe that we enter upon the
"contest for the conduct of the Government
with a perfect assurance that as sure as cleo
ton day shall come round we shall reinstate
4" in the possession of that power the Republic
"can party" In making this assertion the
Senator gave expression to the general feelings
among Republicans. Here in New York the
party is thoroughly united. Factionaism has
disappeared, and in its place we have the un-
broken front and the courage and energy born
of a great common purpOse-vlctOry in 1883.
The charter elections which have just been
held attest the strength of this purpose. The
Republicans have made q great advance. Forty
six counties show net gain of no less than
forty three supervisors. Our Albany CORE
spondent writes that a leading Republican esti-
mates that the party vote, as exhibited In
these elections,i is some 10000 larger than 1t
was last fall. Such "straws cannot be ex-
planned away. They demonstrate that the Re-
publican party In New.York is in thoroughly

in Rio coffee was remarkable; fair cargoes
dropped to ss4 cents, and options to cents Tor
March. No change is noticed in sugar, but tea
is stronger. The advance in oil late In
February was not maintained, and the close
was not far from the price Of two weeks ago. A
more active movement in dry goods is ascribed
to a removal of the snow blockade in some
Western sections, but there is really Little
change to mention in the character OF business,
and none in prices. The close OF the session OF
Congress made little impression in business
circles, as the inlpossibility of securing any
satisfactory legislation had for some days been
realized,
