OTHER LANDS THAN OURS.

The vote recently in tho British house of
commons on the bill to abolish the hereditary
principles of the house of lords was not with
out significance. This was the fourth time
within seven years that the bill came up, and
on the three former occasions II received lit
tie encouragement from English politicians
OF Importance. This time, however, it has
not only been backed by the liberal leaders,
but has received some tory support, and has
been defeated by the small majority Of Al in
a total vote OF S6l. While the house Of lords,
as at present constituted, 10 generally recog-
nized as stumbling-block TO British pro-
gress, few politicians have had the courage
TO attempt to deprive its members of their
most cherished privilege, and some have no
doubt been deferred by the hope that they
might at some future time gain the distinc-
tion Of seat among the peers. But the
member OF parliament is learning thing or
two. He knows that the house Of lords Is
anything but popular among the people, and
he need not fear to give offence TO any one
except the peers themselves, and noblemen

TAKING COUNSEL OF THE ENEMY

TAKING COUNSEL OF THE ENEMY
All the democratic and mugwump Or
gans in this city are very anxious that
Senator Henderson should keep on
brandishing big club over the head OF
ex-senator Saunders. They applaud
Senator Manderson's threats to defeat
Saunders confirmation tor the Utah
commission, because he has dared to
differ with Mr.. Henderson as to the To-
cation OF the new postoffice building. It
is perfectly natural that the organs
which supported Grover Cleveland for
the presidency should want to use Sen
ator Manderson to help carry out the
arrangement by which Mrs. Grover
Cleveland was to make little pin
money out Of Uncle Sam. Taking ad-
vantage of General Manderson's
well-known partiality to Mrs.
Cleveland and his chivalry
where handsome woman is deeply in
terested, they take delight in tanning
the factional fires in the republican
camp. They know that Manderson has
already crippled himself and made him
self impotent to help his political
friends by his unseemly exhibitions of
jealousy ana vindictiveness toward Sem
ator Saunders. BY adding fuel to the
flame they urge Manderson to keep up
a contest in which he is bound to be
worsted in the long run. When re-
publican senator, taking counsel and
comfort from democrats and mugwumps,
places himself in a hostile attitude to-
ward republican administration, he
is on the high road to political ruin.
He might as we'll plant himself in the
path Of locomotive. Greater men than
Manderson have fallen by the way side
in the foolhardy role of senatorial die
tator. From Tipton, who was dis
| gruntled with Grant, to the brilliant,
imperious and majestic Conkling, none
has survived a passage-at-arms with a
| president. The sooner Mr.. Manderson
takes in his horns and shows by his
conduct that he realizes that he is only
a small fragment OF the great machine
OF government the better it will be for
himself and the people OF this state.
His threats to defeat the confirmation
OF a man whom he has endorsed for ap-
pOintment, are peurile and unbecomin G
the dignity OF his office.

SENATOR VESTS committee, which
early this spring took up the investiga-
tion of the alleged control of the meat
markets of the country by Chicago pack
ing combines, will continue its exam
ination during the summer. 1t will
have the opportunity to go over the
field carefully and gather such testi-
mony as will prove or disprove the ex-
istence of a meat monopolyin the coun-
try. The action of number of
state legislatures in making the beef
supply question OF serious invesga-
tion goes to show that widespread dis
satisfaction exists. 1t will therefore be
the business of the senate committee to
find out whether the complaint against
the alleged beef packing combine be
we'll founded or not. AS yet no positive
proof of such combination exists, and
the Investigations so far have accom-
plished no practical results. 1t is uni
versally admitted that state laws dis
eliminating against dressed beef are i'm
proper and unconstitutional, and in
no way would meet the evil of beef
trust. Whatever regulation is necessary
to correct the abuse must be left to con-
gross. The senate committee is in
condition to give the whole question
an impartial hearing and to recommend
to congress what remedy should be ap-
piled il the Investigation develops any
thing that calls for national interfer-
ence. But should the committee dis
cover that the hue and cry against the
packed beef industry is merely raised
by selfish and competitive interests in
order to prejudice the public, it can do
no better service to the country than to
expose the fallacies and put an end to
the war on the packed beef industry.

should be an unlooked-for revival OF
the trade. The situation can be easily
understood when IL Is stated that Penn
sylvania iron can not be drawn for less
than thirteen dollars per ton, while
southern iron can be produced for
nine dollars. AT present the iron maxi
ers of Pennsylvania are selling their
product at u profit OF not to exceed two
dollars ton over actual cost OF manu-
facture, while the southern makers,
selling at one dollar below the price OF
their northern competitors, get profit
Of about FIVE dollars per ton.
The disadvantage at which the iron
industries Of the north are thus placed
must inevitably in time produce great
changes in the trade. Just now the
iron producers of Pennsylvania may be
simply testing the competitive power OF
the southern mills and perhaps feeling
out for some sort OF combination, but
whatever their purposes may be it would
seem evident that the iron industries OF
this country are on the point OF under
going important changes for which
the southern competition will be
primarily responsible, and which
will materially affect the pros
perity Of numerous localities where
these industries exist under conditions
no longer favorable. Combination
may delay this result, but it can not
permanently prevent it, and among the
possible consequences material modi--
fication of the tariff on iron is not the
most unlikely.

SOUTHERN COMPETITION.

The recent decline In the prices of
iron, and the depression that prevails
in some branches OF the iron industry,
are thought to foreshadow revolution
in this department of trade. Except for
a brief period eleven years ago, pig
iron now rules at the lowest figure ever
attained, and it Is by no means certain
that the bottom has been reached.
There is more than one cause for this
state of affairs, but, undoubtedly, NOT
the least influential is southern compe-
tition. The low price Of south
ern iron has placed the Penn
sylvania iron masters on the
defensive, and seems likely to
hold them In that position unless there

The most str liking aud conspicuous portion
OF Mexico's adv ancement began soon after
the commencement of the administration Of
present president, Porfirlo Diaz. He en-
tered Office IN the latter part of 1884, and was
elected to a second term last year The ex-
perience of the past fiftsen years shows that
instructions and revolutions are not neces-
airy conditions in the Mexican's existence,
while the record OF the country since 1855,
proves that Mexico is not incapable Of an
improvement Of highly important aud fiat
tering character. Peace and wise govern
ment were all that were needed to enable
the people to develop the marvellous natural
resources which their land possesses. Peace
came in with Diaz' recent predecessors;
WISE government was assured when Diaz
entered on power. Within the past five
years the public affairs of the country have
been managed with creditable degree of
intelligence, and fair amount of success
has been attained.

The Bulgarian atrocities in 1876 were the

very sensitive to outrages upon christians
by Turkish fanatics. 1t is ominous, there
fore, to note That christians are being mas
sacred by moslems on the Monteneyrin
frontier The Montenegrins themselves are

certainty upon the support of Russia. The
car might, indeed, welcome such war as
probable means of relief from nihlist con-
spirators. History has shown that a reli-
glous conflict in western or northern Turkey
may kindle a confiagration from mere
spark. The situation in Europe is ready for
such possibility. Henca the alarm raised
by the mossacres reported by cable. While
war may not result, the outlook is one of

mandatory by the terms of the said act.
This sum we have never been paid in ac-
cordsnce with the act, Notwithstanding

partment for the same and the work of
construction has necessarily been i'm

therefore request your honorable body To
cause to be paid to this department the
sum Of $50. 900 for the purpose specified
in the act, in order that the work on the
intereepting sewer may be carried for
ward as speedily as possible.
