lead came across our borders as silver and en-

able Once here, both silver and lead were
saved and put on the Market and the result
was such an invasion of free lead, mined at 60
cents, as to cause total suspension OF Amerl-
can lead mining. The new Tariff bill made no
change whatever in the lead duties. 1t merely
provided that lead should be known as lead and
should pay its appropriate duty, as Congress had
originally ordered II it has not checked i'm

1t appears that the lead duty is almost the
only basis upon which Reciprocity Treaty
with Mexico can now be negotiated OF sugar
Mexico produces no surplus. OF coffee and
hides the surplus is not great, and, although
the enforcement of tariff against them would
be felt, it would do no such damage as to rem
der the Mexican negohators anxious to concede
much in order to ward it off. Their European
market could probably. be enlarged to take all
of their product that we might reject. Reel
procity with Mexico is therefore a different
problem from those already solved with Brazil,
Cuba and Venezuela We have given up so
large a part of our market already-c0mpletin
the surrender by the Mckinley bill provision
admitting fibres free-that Mexico now sells us
almost all she could sell under a Reciprocity
Treaty. 1t is plain that convention valuable
to us would have to 90 beyond the schedules
provided for by the Mckinley bill, and that of
course would require Senatorial sanction If
the risks which free lead would involve to our
mining sections are to be encountered, we
should obtain concessions of more than ordinary
value.

The General Assembly has disposed with ease
and dispatch of the burning question OF re-
vision. The reported amendments OF the Con
fession of Faith, as printed in full in THE IRlB-
UNE on Wednesday, were accepted almost with
out comment. and referred to the various Pres
byteries for action. The only notable speech
made was that of President Patton, VINO de-
clared with emphasis that by the revision the
essence of Calvinism had not been touched
This question being disposed of so far as this
years Assembly is concerned, the Briggs case
alone remains TO command general attention
DIR. Briggs as professor in the Union Semi
nary will be considered by committee OF which
DIR. Patton, the president of Princeton Col
lepe. is the chairman.

One of the curious features of the civil war In
Chilli is the division of sentiment among TWO
American churches engaged in mission work. Inc
Presbyterians are heartily in sympathy with tne
insurgent cause, whereas the MethodiSts are as
posed to favor President Balmaceda, possibly
because he has had his daughters educated 10
their schools and thereby contributed to ther
prestige Whatever may be their political prefer
ences these Protestant pioneers in the South are
taking no open part in the deplorable coLilct

THE Evening Post" solicits our aid in calling
the attention of tin-plate producers to offers dis
played in its counting-room window FOR the pur-
chase of their manufactures We would be glad
to accommodate our Free-Trade friend, but un-
fortunately arc deferred by evidence of it's untrus
worthiness in making business offers for political
effect About year ago it promised to send
handsome subscription to the Republican campaign
fund If any one would prove that specific quo
tation from the columns of The London Times"
was genuine. We furnished the text, date, page,
column and line. The Evening Post instead OF
paving its subscription and fulfilling its agreement
repudiated it's obligations After this experience
it would not be prudent for us to support any oil
its fantastic business proposals. II through our
instrumentality an invoice of American tln-plate
should be delivered in front of its counting-room
we should be unable to furnish any guarantee to
the shipper that the goods would not be sent back
on the ground that comma had gone wrong In
the bill Of lading. .

1t does not often happen that religious concerns
demand more attention from the secular press
than just at present. The Briggs case ana the
Brooks case are of uncommon interest to great
number of people. and the Heber Newton case is
scarcely if at all behind them as matter of
popular concern Then the revision of the Pres
bvterian Confession Of Faith affects mult1tudes
of men and women directly and indirectly All
these things are tokens that the present is period
of unusual religious ferment.

In some quarters the assertion has been mede
that the Attorney General of the United States III
clined to the opinion that the laws passed By the
List Congress for the purpose of putting an END
to the lottery scandal are Unconstitutional SUCH
a statement could have originated only i'll the fer
tile imagination of some Democratic newspaper
writer Upon what it is based IS dlfiicuit 10 saS'
AS a matter OF fact, we are In position 10 kilo"
that there is no one more positive in his Dehef IN
the entire constitutionality of those laws than
Attornev-G General Miller. There is nothing In
what that efficient officer and sound legal adviser
Of the President has ever said or done which could
in any manner, however violent, be tortured lnto
doubt on his part as to the constitutionahty OF
the anti-lottery statutes. The question Is now
pending in the Supreme Court, and the brlet pre-
pared by the Attorney-General, though not yet In
print, is known to reflect in every line his private
az well as his official Judgment

Mayor Grant is entitled to generous public
support if he is indeed strenuousy resisting the
pressure put upon him by Richard Croker in
favor of the appointment of John j. 'Scannen
as Fire Commissioner A more unfit appoint
ment could hardly be made. There are signs
of bitter struggle in the Tammany organiza-
ton over this matter The organization is held
together by the cohesive power Of public plum
der If the leaders cannot agree as to the
division Of the spois, the people will not be
the loser. A fight between Grant and Croker
would be uncommonly interesting

What does Governor Hill mean? In his
memorandum upon the last bill passed by the
Legislature he speaks of it as the last legis-
iatiye act to which shall have the pleasure of
ailixing my official signature" Is this to be
accepted as defnitive statement that he is
about done with the Governorship-having used
it for all it was worth in accomplishing his
personal political ends-and has no intention
Of running for Governor again? We venture
TO say that, if he should be elected for Gov
ernor next fall, he would not allow any state
ment like this TO stand in the way of his ac-
ceptance.

Secretary Foster wieds vigorous pen.
good specimen of his work in this line will be
found in the letter he has written regarding the
relations OF importers and appraisers. 1t is
given in full in our Washington dispatches.
While good-tempsred the letter bristles with
telling points, and is so clear and full that it
leaves nothing more to be said The Secretary
fully upholds the action of the local customs
officials respecting passes emitting importers to
visit the offices Of the Appraiser and assistant
appraisers at all times.
