Danger From Southern Competition.
Elias Haiman, President of the Southern
Agricultural Works of Atlanta, is at the
Anderson Hotel. Mr.. Haiman came here
to buy steel. In speaking of the outlook
last night he said: ~ have been buying
steel in ,Pittsburg for years. We use about
1000 tons per year in the manufacture Of
plows and cotton gin machinery. think
it would pay me to wait about two months
before buy. The steel market is little
off now, and will 60 down later on. The
price of pig iron is low, but the Bessemer
ingots still keep up, but don't think the
prices can last much longer.
"It will be many day before the South
competes with the North in the steel and
iron business. Your manufacturers are so
far ahead oil US that it will take long time
before we catch up. There is probably as
much pig iron made around Alabama as
was made in PIttsburg before the war, and
yet the manufacturers here don't feel
it. This is great and growing
country, and the markets will always keep
apace, even if the competition does become
keener. We are beginning to send some
raw material to the North, but as long as
you have the mills to work up our raw
products your iron and steel men can keep
ahead. We haven't commenced to make
any steel, but company is building rail
mill in Chattanooga.
"Competition in the South in my busi-
ness is very close. 1t is always so in terri
tory where few manufactures are located.
All the Northern makers of agricultural
implements are represented in the South.
1t is dumping ground for all of them.
This year the cotton crop promises to be
goo( one and the farmers are fairly
well pleased. The crop in Alabama
amounts to 1,000,O 900 bales per year, and at
S55 per bale would net S55, 900, 900. This
money is invested in product which
doesn't spoil like grain, doesn't have to be
changed and is easily transported and
stored. The prospects for a big sale of
agricultural implements is very bright
indeed" I"

QUAY SHOULD EXPLAIN.

Mr.. jerks Says If He Doesn't, His Party VIII
bo Forced to Dump Him-The People
Want a Campaign in Which Issues Are
Discussed, Not Personalities.
Ex-Solicitor General George A. jerks is
now a frequent visitor to Pittsburg. He
was here yesterday attending to some legal
business. He says up his way the people
are not taking much interest in the selec-
tion OF Gubernatorial candidates.
"In my travels around" continued Mr.
jerks, 81 find that the voters want no dis
cussion of past events. The people in both
parties are tired of personalities, and this
campaign must be fought on the real issues.
For this reason they want to see men nomi-
mated who have the best of regulations, and
who will draw attention to party principles.
The issues between the parties are the same
as they have been. 1t will be tariff con-
test. The people are beginning to think on
this question, even in Pennsylvania. The
demands OF the farmers for equalization of
taxes are something that haven't thought
much about.
81 think the charges made by the press of
the country are becoming SO serious that. .un-
less he disproves them thev will be adverse
to the Republican party. The other day
listened to tine conversation Of three crowds
of Republicans on train, who were talking
about it. They didn't know me, but they
one and all said that Quay must now come
to the front and defend himself, or else the
success of the party could only be attained
by dumping HIM. 1t is one thing or the
other, and there is no other alternative.
This is not case where silence will prevail.
"No, 1 didn't read Speaker Reeds speech
on Federal elections, but I have heard
about it. You know in 1873 the Force bill,
which practically embodied the Speakers
ideas, was introduced in the House. Blaine
was then Speaker, and he and Randall
united their strength to defeat it. Randall's
opposition to that bill brought him to the
front and made him the leader OF his party,
while Blaine at the time lost some prestige
by his action.
''The time is coming. too, when something
will have to be done with the labor question.
Both parties have fought shy of this issue
up to date. but it will soon be forced on
them. The strength of the parties depends
largely on the labor vote, and as it veers, so
will success. Both parties are disintegrat-
ing more or less all the time, but recruits
are also being added. The tendency of the
courts nowadays is also to strip the corpora
tions of some of the powers which they
have assumed. The tide is turning in the
direction of labor as it should"

Mr.. George A. Schenley is to be rendered
the freedom of the Gas City, and Mayor
Gourley will to-day issue call, to be
signed by representative Pittsburgers, for q
meeting of citizens, to decide upon the form
in which it is to be presented. 1t will
probably be in the nature of an official re-
ception, presided over by Mayor Gourley,
as chief executive, assisted by the heads Of
departments and other city officials, and is
expected to afford an opportunity to allow
Mr.. Schenley to become acquainted with the
men who made Pittsburg and have its well
fare at heart.
OF course no details haye been arranged,
that being left entirely to the meeting to be
called. If Mr.. Carnegie arrives this week,
as expected, he will undoubtedly be among
the invited guests.
The heads of the different departments
are entirely in accord with this idea OF the
Mayors, and will assist to make it a sue

Assistant City Solicitor Burleigh warmly
advocates some such action, as he thinks it
will bring Mr.. Schenley more fully IN touch
with the people of Pittsburg.
Register Conner SAYS: "It is quite the
proper thing to do. As citizens OF Pitts
burg we should give Mr.. Schenley hearty
welcome to the city In which he has such
large interests, and should make him feel
that his interests are ours" Magistrate
Succop, who was standing by, Endorsed this
view of the matter.
A number of other officials and members
of Councils who were around Municipal
Hall yesterday were enthusiastically in
favor OF public reception, the only DIS
seuting voice being Controller Morrow, who
said: 81 should greatly enjoy shaking Mr.
Schenley by the hand and welcoming
him to our city, and I have no doubt
that the citizens generally feel the
same way. But you must remember
that it was just for this sort of
thing that Charles Dickens scored us
so terribly in works upon this country. In
Europe, where the freedom of a city is pre-
sented to an individual, it carries with it,
under their ancient charters, certain rights
and privileges which we cannot confer. 1
