We quoted yesterday Mr. BLArNE's asser-
ton that iron ore was stricken from the list
q dutv-frce articles in order 10 please the
pconle Of Vlrgiuia and West Virginia. He
used the fnct 10 make capital in the North.
not only Mr.. BLAINE, but every msn OF in
teligeuce must know that the duty on iron
ore Is uiaced In the MILLS bill OF - cents
per ton. Yet here before us Is the Wythe'
Vile Patriot and Herald containing The fol-
lowing paragraph:
"To our mind II IS clear that the most
importsnt minersls Of our section are placed
upon the free nat by The provisions Of the
Mills bin. We refer o. IRON ore and soft
coal. The Democrats have been irving m
produoc the impression that their tarin
MEASURE does not t,be the duty oh IRON ore
and colt coal. Nov We defy any intelligent
nan 10 tuke The Bills BIN and read 1t with
out coming 10 the conclusion that % leaves
ron ores aud Goa unprotected"
What shall be SAID at such a statement?
We have before as at this wrfiiug the tariff
act IS It would be were the Mills bin to be-
come a law, and OF psge 10 We read:
..Iron ore, including ma%uganiferous iron
orc. also the dross or rrsiduum from burnt
pyrfcs, 20 cents per tom
We printed the above paragraph from tie
tariff BIN twice last week. Won't somebody

A YEARS WORK
At the United Church Reviewed.

At the United church yesterday the Rev. Dr. Munger reviewed the work of the United church for the year. Among other facts given he said: The clerk states in his re- port the number of church members in Jan uary, 1886, to have been 733; in January, 1877, TOT; added on profession of faith 3, by letter 24; less removed or dismissed to other churches 46; leaving present number 694. Though a loss of 13 ill number, yet many absentees are returning and the congregation has increased. Of the church members, 212 are men, 452 women and 27 have been mem- bers over fifty years, showing that religion has the reward of long life. Marriages, 7 -four of them in June); funerals 12, mostly of aged people; average age s6 years. Samuel Davis died suddenly in January, 1857, use Catharine (Townsend) Jarman also left us suddenly at the age of 83. Her life was full of charitable work for students and others who gratefully cherish her memory. Her death was also in January, 1887. Mrs. Clarissa (Clark) Durrie, wife of Deacon John Durrie, died in May last, aged al. Seventy five years a member of the church. She was 8 member here ffty-seven years. Her faith ful, efficient, gentle Christian life shone as bright example to all. Mrs. Pratt passed away at the age of S3, in another town. Mrs. N. E. Lewis, who also died, was church member 52 years, ,and is mourned by loving friends. Deacon Samuel G. Thorn died in August last suddenly. He was taken from us in his long, useful, honored life. To his energy is largely due the harmonious union of the Third with the North church. His uniform courtesy, Christian kindness, and industry; his worth as a gentleman, as an officer of the church, and in his family re- latiens, mark him as highest example to follow Nine hundred and forty-two dollars was received by the church; $876 paid benefciaries of the church, chiefly aged wo- men.

nrs. Langtry I'm Her Palace Car.

PITTsBURG, Feb. 5.-Mrs. Langtry's new car was run down to the Union depot ysster- day from the Pennsylvania yards. This af- ternoon the Lily and Mir. Frederick Gebhard inspected the handsome car and appeared to be highly pleased. Mrs. Langtry, after the performance last evening, took up her quar- ters in the car, which is of the Mann boudoir style. The exterior of the car is finished about the same as Pullman palace car. The interior is indeed beautiful. It is according to Mrs. Langtrys taste and convenience and old railroad men say that she has displayed exceptionally good knowledge as to how the interior arrangements of car should be. It is not so fine as some of George M. Pullman's private cars, but it is little nicer than Pull mans ordinary cars. The car cost about S20. 900.
