President l.. S. Bent. OF the Pennsyl-
vsnia Steel Company. has addressed
letter to Mr.. Mckinley. chairman OF the
WAYS and Means Committee, in which
he details the reasons which, in his
opinion. justify the admission OF ore
free Of duty. 1t will not be uninteresi-
ing to give 4 synopsis Of these reasons
rs showing the attitude towards the
subject Of those who are in accord with
him in the position which he takes.
He states that tho only ore which Is
imported into the United States 10 that
which 10 suitable TO she manufacture Of
steel, and il will, therefore, only com
pate with ore produced IN this country
which 10 adapted to this purpose; in
other words. there will be no competi-
ton whatever with non-steel ores. The
ore that 10 now imported 10 simply TO
supply a shortage which cannot at pres
ent be otherwise covered. Thus he
estimates the smount OF ore suitable for
Bessemsr pig. that will be produced 10
1890, at about FIVE millions Of tons, but
to meet ths needs Of the steel msnufac-
turers during that year about six and
one half million tons Of iron ore OF
necessary quality will be required.
which leaves q deficiency Of one and
ons.half million tons, which will have
20 be brought in from abroad, or the
stesl manufacturers must remain idle
ons-fourth Of The year.
He mentions incidentally that the i'm
portstion Of ore 10 attended by large
expectation Of grain .and coal, which
would not, butt this fact, be export
ed at all. Thus be declares that be has
personal knowledge Of seventy five
steamers chartered to bring iron ors 70
this country, which are rechartsred to
carry back corn from Baltimore.
The imported ore being principally
used in furnaces that are situated near
the sea coast, the removal Ct the whole
duty Of seventy Eve csntsper ton would
only pay for 100 miles Of Inland trans
portation Of the ore, or double that dis
lance on the finished steel products.
while Lake Superior Bsssemer ore
would have to be transported 450 miles
by rail beyond its present eastern limit
OF uss TO meet its foreign competitor. "
President Bent expresses the opinion
that the percentage OF importation
would remain relatively the same with
the increased output OF native steel re- "
material, even il foreign ore we're sd-
mittsd free OF all duty. At the works
OF his company in Baltimore, he states
there will be required one million tons
Of ore annually; Of this amount, two
hundred thousand tcns will be the
quasi Bsssemer ore mined in Virginia
but he asserts that it will be impossible
TO use this ore unless there is added to
it the pursr imported ores. The re-
movsl OF the duty on ore would enable
his company to dispense with the Tariff
on pig iron or steel rails, except vhst
should be necessary to cover the sx
penses OF transportation 20 Southern

Il il announced from England that
serious objections are being advanced
against further bufials IN Westminster
Abbey on the ground that such buiiais'
in consequence Of the present crowded
condition Of the Abbey, are IN direct
violation Of sanitary laws that should
be carefully regarded in consideration
OF the interests Of the living There
objections, which proceed from men
whose opinions for professional reasons
arc entitled to great weight are
not receiving much populaf a.
tsntion. 1t may he predicted
that illustrlous poets, soldiers
and scientists will continue to be buried
in Westminster Abbey until The ie"
remaining feet Of unoccupied earth
have been filed. The uncccupied space,
however. is year by year growing nsr-
rover and more narrow until II is only
q question Of comparatively short
period Of time when the last famous
man or woman will be laid 20 iioal rest
in the precincts OF the Abbey.
1t unpleasant, even to Americans
to realize that such a day must arrive
sooner or later. Westminster Abbey 10
associated in the minds Of all Eoglish-
speaking peoples noe only with the bis
toric glory Of England, through It's
connection with the tombs Of her most
illustrious men. but also with ono OF
the very highest rewards which she can
confer for achievements in Art, Science.
Literature and War, namely, a grave
and monument under that noble and
ancient roof. The battle-cry Of Nelson,
Victory, or Westminster Abbey" " has
inspiree many an Englishman. not only
in war. but also ia the various pursuits
Of peace.
It will seem strange. when the Abbey
is at last filled, that EnRiand will no
longer be able to gather together no
those sacred bounds all that remains Of
her most famous desi. In the last
forty years, many OF her most distin-
guished men and women HAYS been
buried elsewhere. including such cele-
britits ss Thacteray, Disfaeli and
Geo. Eliot. Henceforth, the number OF
such burials must increase necessarily.
unless Westminster Abbey shall be
either enlarged or some olher national
place OF interment for she illustrous
dead shall be provided. Nelson anc
Wellington rest in st. Paal's, but there
will hardly be room for further adj
mi,sious to it's crypt. Unless democ-
racy shall. in the next quarter Of
century displace monarchy In England.
it is highly probable that a building
similar to Westminster Abby, will be
erected, or some structure already in
existence will be set apart for the same

The Blair Educational scheme.
baltimore SUM-

The bill now pending before the SEN
ate ITO aid in the establishment and
temporary support Of common schools. -
introduced by Senator Blair. is the
. chronic form Of reducing the surplus
and keeping up the tariff. which that
gentleman = views have assumed. That
ruch legislation is without warrant in
the constitution has never deferred the
Senator and his Republican allies for a
moment in dealing with this measure.
Indeed, II may safely be sad that con
stitutlonal difficulties have never
particularly troubled this party
in disposiug Of any public
question. Washington in his fare
well address dealt largely with the
importance of an enlightened public
opinion IN this country aud upon educa-
ton as the only method OF promoting
1t. but 10 never occurred to him or his
advisers that the general government
should furnish the money and regulate
the distribution OF it for this purpose.
Tue general welfare clause Of the
constitution had some limit to its scope
until the advent of the. party now in
power. but beneath its sheltering wing
all doubtful legislation is placed which
tends TO build up the party and
strengthen its hold upon public favor.
