INC TIn Plato Industry.

Another Welsh tin plate manufac-
turer announces that he will remove
his plant to this country and that others
may follow him. This information
will set the free traders wild, but their
clamor will not prevent the establish
ment of the new and great industry in
America, and the consequent retention
in this country OF millions of dollars
that have heretofore gone out Of the
United States for British tin plates.
The following editorial paragraph
from the Pittsburgh Dispatch, which is
not "bitter partisan sheet" expresses
the situation and shows how unwise
our Democratic friends have been in
prematurely predicting the failure of
the tin plate schedule OF the Mckinley
bill to cause the establishment Of the
industry in this country:
II hos transplred that not only do eight or nine
American firms contemplate putting IN TN
plants, but the protection Afforded BY the NC
have entered into negotiations for the ConStruc'
ton Of plants. Mr.. R. e, Jenkins who repre-:
EcntS Welsh plant that produces 2,4VO boxes Of
tin per day, will move his entire works 10 Joliet,
ILL.,, where twenty acres OF land has been given
him for that purpose. Representative Of a
British company, which has glass factories In
Tennessee, have been taking advice on the sub:
iert, aud have gone TO England to recommend
the investment OF $3.50 900 In adding to their fac.
tories plRpt for making tin plate aud steel.
They found that they could make profit otSl y
per box on all tin plate produced, and they state
that they see no reason why they may not take
advantage OF the protection afforded by the
tNriff as well MS Americans. They recognize the
fact that Welsh tin plate factories cannot com.
pete with those III America. -,
The benefits TO be derived BY Pittsburgh will
be direct The machinery will be manufactured
here. The benefit to other parts OF the country
viii lie large also, for the making OF tin plate
means tho employment Of many thousands Of
people and this implies the circulation OF large
amount Of money. In view Of these facts II
seems To us that the glee Of the Democrats over
the tin plate question was little premature.

NAMED away from the old place and
her relatives, OF whom there are many
in this locality, had, to great extent,
lost sight OF her. Mrs. Whitcomb is II
half sister Of Hon. Daniel Marntta, ex-
United States Marshal. Of Dakota, I'M
der President Cleveland.
The news OF the two attempts OF Mrs.
Whitecomb to commit suicide created n
great sensation among her relatives and
friends here. tits not believed by those
who know her hes. that she attempted
to actually end her life, but they say
she had her plans well laid to be saved
in time. Her separation from her hns-
band is said to have been caused by
domestic discord, growing out Of too
frequent visits OF an ex-governor OF
Minnesota, and that Mr.. Whitcomb be-
came jealous. In fact, it is thought
here that the pretty little orthodox
Presbyterian has gone very largely into
the world OF sensationalisn. with the
attempts Mt suicide as merely incidents.

ment(2) that there was IN abundance
Of good "limestone" in the vicinity Of
Wheeling to build n stone bridge!
About the first lesson in mineralogy
the school children of today nre taught
is the nature Of stone and the effect
weather will have on it, especially lime
stone. But the Regi&ter'A Ignorance on
this point is motto be wondered at.
In an interview with several contract
ors lately it was learned that IN excava-
ton OF only one.half the width Of the
south "perforation" for the Main street
bridge would have been necessary for a
foundation for substantial steel bridge.
The abutments OF the Market street
bridge will prove this fact. The press
ure and foundation Of steel bridge is
directly downward, while that Of a stone
bridge is in almost every direction. nee
essitating much heavier, we might say
doubly heavy foundation than that re-
quired for a steel structure. The people
can see at a glance the amount Of work
and stone that would have been saved
in the construction OF u steel bridge,
amounting to several thousands OF dol
lars to the heavily.burdened taxpayers
ofthis debt-laden city.
would like to take this opportunity
to ask Mr.. Register, who was the principal
promoter OF atone bridge, and who, no
doubt, has great interest in the city's
welfare, how many OF the four-and.a-
half per cent stone bridge bonds he
holds? $. OR S.

Mr.. Z. Leonardson, state organizer OF
the Kansas Prohibition party, bears tes-
timony that prohibition is failure in
that State. The amendment to the con-
stitution was adopted in November,
1880, by a vote of 92SO2 to s4,3O4, and
provides that "that the manufacture
and sale of intoxicating liquors shall be
forever prohibited in this State, except
for medicinal, scientific and mechanical
purposes" This law has had a ten
years trial, and State Organizer LEON
ardson, in letter just published frank
" states that "there is more liquor sold
and drank to-day in Kansas than at any
time since the passage of the amend-
ment. There is general letting down
all over the State" He then proceeds
to give figures in support Of his decla-
ration, and concludes that "unless some
thing is done to open the eyes Of the
people to the facts, fair Kansas will
soon be under the power OF the saloon"
This is only another evidence that state
prohibition does not prohibit.

A suspLciouA suegestion.

The New York Worlds proposition to
run ex-President Cleveland for Governor
has suspicious flavor. The liorld
never had much love for Cleveland, and
its suggestion savors Of a desire toadopt
sure method to bring about his polit-
ical death.
The World we'll knows that the vote
by which Cleveland was elected Gov
ernor Of New York before is no evil
dencc that he could be elected again.
Although his majority was over 10000,
his total vote was not as large as that he
received in 1888 when he failed to carry
the State for the presidency.
There is no reason to believe that Mr..
Cleveland is more popular in New
York than he was three years ago, and
there is every reason tobelieve that GER
tain rivals in tho State would be only
too glad to take advantage OF the oppor-
tunity to kill his chances for the presi-
dency in 1892.
The World is an anti. Cleveland paper
and its nomination OF him for tho gov
ernOrship will hardly be greeted with
enthusiasm by the ex-presidents friends

CAPE MAY, n. j., Aug. l6.-within
the past torty.ciglt hours politics have
warmed up here immensely, and the
politicians have flocked into town at a
great rate. The publication this morn
ing that the President had declined to
have a denomination has brought down
many party leaders, who are anxious TO
know what there is in thematter. Yes
terday afternoon, while the President
was watching the ball game, he was APP
preached by a reporter, who asked him
about the matter Of his declination.
and he bluntly, but courtcously y, refused
to discuss what he termed mere news
paper rnmors. 1t is interpreted here
tonight that he will not accept nomt-
nation unless it comes with the wishes
OF the people.
Captain Baker Corson. an old resi-.
dent, and an old.time Wing, stopped
the president and asked him II he
might not have a chance 10 shake hands

which the president gave an evasive an.
swer and politely bowed himself out OF
the captains company. Postmaster
General Wanamaker and number Of
politicians from Philadelphia arrived

TheISrrLLtGEScER is not in danger OF
having anything more serious than q
laughing fit over the Registr'sr ridiculous
claim that "the same hole would have

editor Of tho Register should consult n

little more than half the work Of the
