Several men who were connected WIN
the assassination directly have been ar
rested. but there has been no satisfac-
tory explanation Of the plot Of when IL
was the result. -.
One reason for the doubt that exists
i'm the public mind as to the so-caiieu
exposures is the fact that there Is "a
very general suspicion as to the ability
or honesty Of the heads Of the Chicago
police department.-E.rchonge.
No BuLLDozING 1T seems to be the
general opinion among Republican
Journals and politicians that President
Harrison will call the Fifty first Con-
gress 10 meet in October. The apparent
Republican majority in the House Oh o,
| Representatives is exceedingly small
IL is important for the Republicans
TO organize that body and increase
their majority by the familiar pro-
cess of unseating Democrats from
contested districts. They also desire to
change the rules of the House so that
the power Of the minority to obstruct
hateful schemes can be abolished. The
ostensible purpose Of the called session
will doubtless be to agree upon the
future Republican policy in regard to
the tariff. but the real purpose will be
10 devise means Of putting the minor
ity down.-Ne,s York Sun.

the South the small towns are brighten
ing and building up. The old sleepy
aspect is gone. and there Is a well kept,
prosperous look about them. What
made this changer
The interstate commerce law has done
it. and this is the beginning OF reyolu-
ton of great and far reaching effect
Formerly through rates were enjoyed
; by competitive points and intermediate
stations had to pay local freight 10 the
nearest common point and take the
through rate from there. Now rail-
roads are not allowed to charge less TO
competitive point than to way station
which is nearer, and the result Is that
small towns have the same through
rates as the next city beyond them.
This strips the railroad centres OF
large part of their advantage, and ship
ments from small stations direct 10
the final market increase. The cot
ton business of the large inland towns
is being cut off by smaller points, which
ship direct to the mills or ports. The
change is most patent here, but it is
evident everywhere that there is gen
eral increase of business in the small
towns.-Atldntd Constitution.
THE Pittsburg Post remarks: more
reductions in wages have been posted
by the protected iron manufacturers
about this city. Among them is the
Pittsburg Forge and Iron Company, in
which Mr. Calvin Wells, proprietor of
that protection organ. the Philadelphia
Press, is largely interested" The
Press should be pinned down to au
answer as to why this state Of affairs
can exist under an administration that
was elected on a guarantee Of high
wages and abundant work.
Ohio Democrats are now holding
county conventions and selecting dele
gates to tho GubernatOrial convention
that meets soon. In all OF these resOlu-
tious strongly reafiirming the Demo
cratic platform OF 1883 have been adopt
ed The Democrats Of Ohio are of the
right brand. -NIshUlle american.
BRING TIE MONEY SOUTH-A South
ern paper in reviewing the advantages
for Investment in the Southern States
calls attention to the following inter
osting facts: The other day an issue Of
$1,000, 600 Of u per cent. bonds was
gold in New York at a premium.
Think Of that. A premium paid for
the privilege Of investing eight million
dollars at q per cent. This fact has
three significant cOrollaries:
LIST. Money that goes begging in New
York at p per cent. is sure to drift
southwark where 5 per cent. is paid,
and where there are countless OppOr-
tunties for profitable investment.
ID. Money that does 90 begging at p
per cent. in New York ought 10 beavaii-
able at less than S per cent. on perfectly
safe investments in the South. and
ought 10 be more easily reached by
borrowers here than through brokers,
whose commissions increase the rate 10
II or - per cent.
SOUTHERN IROS.-Even the New York
Tribune sees that the scepter Of SUI
premacy in iron and steel must depart
from Pennsylvania. and as that Safe
compelled the New England iron men
to close their furnaces and shops and |
remove to Pittsburg and its neighbor |
hood, so the Pennsylyanians must
yield to the iron men Of Tennessee and !
Alabama, who, with the unusual adj
vantages Of the iron ore, the /
coal and the hux at their doors, can /
make pig iron for One-half the lowest /
price the Pennsylyanians can reach to. /
The Tribune sees this, hence it said re- /
Gently: Now that the country requires |
six and half million tons of pig iron, /
and can produce seven and half mil /
lion yearly, those mines and furnaces /
which have the least advantages are /
detanced by home competition. -
