A wanton Assault,

IueSuay'b view 1Ork Star.
Ii is not easy to understand how il
came about that the letter to Mr.. Bayard
was published in the North american
Reoieso. II more properly belongs to the
New York World or the Police Gazette,
We generally expect that the reviews and
the magazines willapproach public topics
and public men in philosophical frame
of mind, and deal with them temporarily
and with fairness. But the letter to MI.
Bayard in the current number is in the
tone of sensational newspapers, and il is
not good specimen of its class.
What can the editor of the North
american ReoieD have expected to nc
complish by this violent and unreasonable
diatribe2 What is his object in proving
that Mr.. Bayard is not kinsman of the
great chevalier, and that his ancestors,
like all American settlers, were plain
people?
1t is painful enough to find this dieni-
fed periodical indulging in loose gossip
about the personal relations of MIR.
Bayard aud Mr.. August Belmont in the
manner which might be expected from au
interviewer.
1t is said that this article was prepared
by several persons; its facts by some one
whose imagination is vigorous, and its in
yective by some one whose malignity is
envenomed by disappointment and
wounded vanity.
The rhetoric of the article is not the
least remarkable feature of this curious
production. II is an elaborate imitation
of the manner of Junius, and, like other
limitations, it very successfully reproduces
the faults of the model.
MIR. Bayard may well laugh at the folly
and impotency of his enemies. The only
effect of their noisy boomerang is to do a
severe injury to the reputation of q peri
odical whose career has hitherto been
honorable to our literature.

aged over Sc years, ex-State Senator and
ex-Congressman, died at his home, in this
borough, this morning, at IL O'Clock,
after lingering illness, Mr.. James was
a native of this county, his birthplace
being Thornbury township. When about
% years of age he was admitted TO the
practice of law in the courts of this county
in which profession he proved to be a
wise and honest counsellor, and he was
never known to have appeared in case
without having first clearly satisfied him
self that his client was entitled TO a YER
dict. He was elected to the State Senate
in 1884, and at the close of his term was
chosen to succeed David Potts in Con-
gress, to which office he was reelected in
1910, and might have been returned the
second time, but for his positive declina-
tion to accept,

4 Pittsburg speciAl says The volume
of the iron and steel business trans
acted within the last six months has
rarely, if ever, been elualcd A compar.
iSon will show that since the great increase
in the business which began last june
there has been more iron aud steel made
in Pittsburg than in any six months in the
history of the iron and steel trade. There
were for every day in this year fully 400
tons of iron rolled for making wrought
iron pipes, or about one-ifth of the whole
output from all the mills. The pipe trade
is the only branch of the business in
which there has been no falling OIL The
demand is as good now as il was in its
best time in the spring, but there is less
demand in pipe iron because a considera-
bic portion is shipped to pipe mills east
and west. Where the trade is almost one.
half less in winter than in summer time
the demand for heavy plate has been bet.
ter than for a great many years. The
orders for light iron have improved. The
outlook has never been better.

Pennypacker, Job H. jackson and James
Scott. These gentlemen assure the editor
that he has .'done an excellent work"
They say sour complaint is, that during
the past twJlve years the tax laws of our
State have been so distorted-warped
from their original and honest purpose
for partisan ends-that one political party
disfranchises at will sufficient number
of it's opponents to reduce the exer-
ciae Of the great right of suffrage
almost to farce" So the
assessment and collection acts of 1873
were conceived for an "honest purpose"
MI. Higginshad abundantly demonstrated
this fact in his elaborate argument before
the late Judge Bradford, but hitherto his
party friends have been shy of acknowl
edging its truth. 1t must be peculiarl,
gratifying to him to find his views Of
last so candidly and publicly endorsed by
30 goodly company. The ASSESSOR
and collectors are now and have fol
months past been striving to carry GU
the provisions of this honest law
We feel encouraged to believe now tina
they will have the support of these prom
inent gentlemen in doing this; that the.
will now use their influence to secure tn
payment of taxes due from members o

The Christmas tidal wave
has receded. The tide ofregu-
lar trade resumes its ebb and
flow. Our busiest thought is
now upon the bits of expert
ence which our great holiday
trade has brought, that we
may learn how to serve you
better-better now and better
than ever next Christmas
time. But the business moves
on. Nothing is out of fix as
the result of the strain put
upon the machine which we
call Our System by the
great selling of the last two
weeks. Nerves are quieter
and amid the greater compos-
ure we are poking into cases
and shelves and drawers, find
ing the things which the great
Festival has crowded out of
thought. Finding out why
they are still ours, not yours.
Finding how to make them
yours, not ours. You will
gain by quietly poking about
the store too. You will find
out that we are paying for
experience. AS the coming
days pass we will tell you the
story of the things that have
been too numerous and must
be fewer. Maybe you'll find
it quite as profitable talk as
our greater stories of the holi-
day things.
Quiet people may loiter in
the Book Department and not
be jostled, ladies' may get rib
bons matched and not be
borne down by the throng, the
miss with twenty dollars which
some kind uncle-desperate
at thought of Christmas buy
ing-has given for a dress
me may come and select in peace.
The great public which shares
our store may settle down to
the usual serene right of pos
session undisturbed, and we
will try with all our thought
and best sincerity of purpose
to make the public's shop
ping home more home-like
than ever.

The ingenuity displayed by the VIZ
mingtOaiGn in searching out items of
complaint against Secretary Bayard is
growing amusingly, if not amazingly. II
now tells us that Mr.. Bayard is re.
sponsible for Mr.. Tisdel's failure to looL
at the lower Congo through the approving
spectacles of Mr.. Stanley. As Stanley
has spent more years than Tisdel did
weeks in the Congo country it should not
take any one long to decide which of the
two knows the most about it, but there is
certainly no good reason why the
state department should not give
Mr.. Tisdels report the same pub
licity that it gives other docu-
ments of public interest coming
within the purview of its work. If the
Tisdel report had been suppressed, in
stead of being given a circulation like
that of consular reports, what would the
IPilmingt0nian have said? Surely the
commercial men of the country have the
same right to hear what is said in deroga.
ton as what is said in favor of the Congo
or any other region, and intelligence,
enough TO decide what is the more
| deserving of credit, and it is n very
strange procedure to censure Secretary
Bayard for placing in their hands any in
formation Of this nature bad or good, re-
ceived by his department. After this ex
emplihcation of its petty spite we should
not be very much surprised to find thu
WlmiAgt0aian endeavoring to demon
strate that Secretary l'ayard was in som,
way responsible for Noah's flood or tn,
crucifixion of Christ.

THE MISSING STE 4MER.
The city of NISSAN Given UP for
.-. Lost.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 5.-Mr. j. Mifflin,
one of the owners of the steamer City of
Nassau, which is now 10 days out on a
trip to Jacksonville, Fla, believes the
steamer to be lost. This evening, in hopes
of hearing something of the lost vessel,
he visited the steamer Juniata at Queen
street wharf, which had just arrived from
Savannah. He learned that the City OF
Savannah passed the City of Nassau on
the Sunday after her departure between
Cape Henry and Body Island, Va, and al
that time she was in sound condition.
The trip to Jacksonville under ordinary
circumstances occupies only five days.
The City of Nassau was commanded By
Captain Thomas II. Payne, with @. E
Pagan as chief officer The chief engi
neer, o. Grimes, formerly of the Ameri
cal line, and the remainder of the crew
with the exception of the steward, wer,
from this city. The City of Nassau wa,
owned by j. Mifflin and O. W. jerks Of
this city, and Tyson 4 Smith of jackson
vile, and was valued ut $50 900. Sh,
was insured in Jacksonville companies
She had no cargo.
The City of Nassau came to the Puse,
IL Jones Company's yards few month";
ago and there underwent extensive re
pairs. At the same time her name wa
changed to the City of Nassau, it bayin,
previously been the City of Mexico.
