The Philadelphia Bulletin, the organ of
the American Iron and Steel Association,
claims that the popular notion that iron and
steel making is on the decline in New Eng
land is unfounded. The Bulletin contends
that New England now produces more pig
iron and more rolled iron than she did in
1856, when there had been actual free trade
between this country and Canada in the raw
materials of pig iron for more than two
years. In the former year the net tons of
pig iron were 34,051, while in 1888 they were
4O,456; in the former year the production of
rolled iron, including iron rail plate and iron
nails, was 1880, in the latter S3,63S. OF the
production Of rolled iron in 1856 exactly 90
OILS were iron rails. AS the iron rail indus
try of New England is now entirely dead
through the general substitution of steel
rails, and as that section now makes annu-
ally much smaller quantity of cut nails
than formerly through the competition of
sections which are favored with the possess
sion of natural gas, sit is really an interest
ing as well as gratifying fact that the pro.
duction of rolled iron in New England in
1888 should have been larger than in 1856. f"
The Bulletin also claims that there has been
an increase also in the production of steel
during the last five years, though last years
production was much smaller than that of
the year before on account of great decline
in the demand for steel rails.

The French ELECTIONS.

Monday will be general election day in
France. an election corresponding to our
Presidential election in its Importance. The
French President is not elected by the people
but by the Assembly, SO the general election
for the members of the Assembly is the
French political event most resembling
our Presidential elections. This election
will probably be one of the most momentous
In the history of the Republic. French
political parties may be broadly distinguished
as two, the Monarchist and the Republi-
can, those who favor return to monarchieal
form of government. and those who
wish a continuance of the Republic.
or course the Monarchists are relatively few
which leaves the Republican party so tire.
mendously large that it is divided into
factions that dispute even more zealously
than do great opposing parties in other
countries. There are for example the OPP
portunist Republicans, who upheld NJ. Ferry
and the Tonquin operations, and the Radi-
cal Republicans, who follow M. Clemenceau.
In the virulence of the disagreements of
these factions lies the sole hope of the Mon
archists, and the adventures who flock
around Boulanger. The performances Of
Boulanger have lately become sufficiently
menacing to drive the Opportunists and the
Radicals into most salutary truce, during
which the government has been enabled to
try, discredit and drive out Boulanger before
the day of the general election. This will
undoubtedly help greatly in securing Re-
publican victory at the polls. There are
nearly 100 candidates standing, which is al
most ratio of three for each constituency
In Paris, the department of the Seine has
AZ seats and 252 candidates. General Bou-
LANCER is apparently running only 131 candi-
dates Of his own party, but he claims nearly
as many more Monarchist nominees as his.
Since the last election the Scrutin de liste.
or method of voting by departments, has
been superseded by the Scrlttin ddrrondisse-
n1ent, or single district system. That is as
if in this State we should decide to choose
Presidential electors just as we choose mem
bers of Congress, not on single collective
ticket. but one for each Congress district. 1t
would no longer be possible for one political
party to gain all the Presidential electors al
lotted to Maine, because it happened to have

OF course the American National Baptist
Association must believe that Congress has
the power to appropriate 500, 000, 900, or any
other sum, to assist the negroes to remove
to the West, else they would not have adopt
ed resolution advising such an appropria-
tioD. But we suspect that it will puzzle that
association to point out what clause of the
constitution contains this power Perhaps
they would point to the general welfare
clause. but that stretched to.its utmost can
not be made to cover such an appropriation
as this resolution contemplates AS to the
wisdom of scattering the negroes over the
country, as the Baptist Association contem-
plates, that is another matter. Probably the
negroes and the whites both would be better
off If the former were not massed at the
South; but if they are to be scattered they
must scatter themselves. 1t can't be done
by the government.

1t speaks well for the intelligence of Chi
cago that so far only four men have been
found within its limits sufficiently ignorant
to sit on the Cronin jury. But the existence
of jury law that practically relegates the
decision OF most important questions to the
ignorant and incompetent is not credltable
to the intelligence of the people of Illinois.
The law was born Of the notion that knowl-
edge of the facts, or alleged facts, of case
created prejudice which would inevitably
sway the judgment. But such an assump-
tlon is erroneous, and ought not to make its
appearance in the jury law Of an intelligent
people. The true test is whether the jurors
opinion is so strong, that is. is so nearly a
conviction, as to render him incapable Of
giving their proper weight to facts which
make against it. If 1t be so, then he ought
not to be allowed to sit on the panel. But if
such is not the case there is no sound reason
for dlsqualifying him.

The ruin wrought blythe Conemaugh dis

II the Americans claim all the seals in Behring
Sea because they breed on American soil, why
shouldn't we claim all the whales in Hudson Bay
because they get their board and tuition In Cana
dian waters?-Toronto Globe.
But If Hudson Bay were the only place
where whales would breed; IL the whale had
the timidity and other peculiarities of the
Alaska seal; and If the only hope of pre-
serving the species in sufficient numbers for
practical utility was in keeping down the
operation of irregular and careless poachers
then the cases would be somewhat similar.
The truth is that the seals must be cared for
and protected; and If the United States
don't do it alone, it will probably be done
under convention of the two interested
powers. In either case rigid conditions will,
no doubt, be placed upon irregular hunters.
