BETTER THAN NOTHING.
Iron Manufacturers Glad to Get Any Kind
of Concession in Rates.

Local iron manufacturers are better pleased
with the action of the Central Traffic Associa-
tion's subcommittee on iron rates than it was
first thought they would be. Several spoken to
yesterday were of the opinion that while a re-
duction of 2 and ~ cents hundred was not
much, at the rate of 20 to so cents a ton would
mean good deal to heavy shippers.
A representative of the firm of Carnegie
Phipps Co., said the only objection they had
to it was that the reduction did not come soon
enough. If the proposed rates are allowed to
stand, however, local shippers who expect to
furnish stock for the Worlds Fair buildings
will get deserved advantage.
Mr.. Boles, of the American Tube and Iron
Company, seemed to think reduction of 2
cents was better than nothing, although he was
satisfied the Mahoning Valley manuf acturers
wanted o cents when they asked for 10, and
they will not be satisfied.

have been informed that the Wage COMMITTEES

sit in judgment of the case is the Executive

FOR BETTER GOVERNMENT.

The Allegheny Citizens Committee Issue
an Address to the Public-Republican
and Democrats of the Two Cities Nomi-
nate Ward Candidates.
The Advisory Committee of the Citizens
Movement in Allegheny has issued an ad-
dress and it has been sent to many hundreds
of residents of the Northside, calling atten-
tion to the political responsibilities that rest
upon them. The address refers to the fact
that on February II Councilmanic candi-
dates will have been nominated aud elected,
and that Allegheny under a new and enlarged
government, will be benefited or injured
by the change according to the charac-
ter and ability of the men then
elected. 1t then suggests that a repre-
sentative committee of citizens, entirely free
from personal or political obligations will be
of incalculable service to the community. If
the present incentives without effect, saws
the committee, then our city can be placed in
the category of rlng-ridden, over-taxed. Slip
shod cities SO numerous in many parts of the
country
The address continues: Harsh, indeed,
would be the words necessary to describe some
of the social and political evils that have lately
disgraced our city; increased salaries and ad-
dltlonal retainers will only add to our burdens
and render resistance less effective hereafter.
Already movements are on foot through local
stances the support and in others the active
opposition OF an organization representing the
CITY at large. We are threatened with the
arbitrary division of our wards, the disruption
OF our school districts, election of unfit men
for heads of departments, and the acceptance
OF laws entirely incompatible with the real ill.,
terests of the community"
The committee then gives its platform, which
in brief is as follows:
To obtain for Allegheny government man.
aged upon business principles. with men chosen
re for rboir Mi ifnotrn fnc
honest elections and the Crawford county sys-
tenn of voting for nominations; the adoption of
smoke consumers. rapid transit, compensation
for franchises granted, pure water, good sewers
and streets; the Pittsburg system of electric
lighting; removal of overhead wires and grade
crossings; adequate school facilities and re-
moval of schools from politics; protection of
city wharf property; modification by the Legs-
lature OF the laws governing second class cities
as relate to unnecessary offices and salaries.
and requiring that heads of departments shall
be elected and salaries fixed by Councils.
The committee invite all public-sprited citi-
zens to aid IN this movement.

ent O'Mara and Sent to Claremont.
Assistant Superintendent O'Mara last night
arrested John Edmonds onSmithfield street, and
a few moments later had him tried before
Magistrate McKenna, who imposed 80 days
sentence TO the workhouse.
The accusation against Edmonds is that he
never works, and compels his poor old mother
to take in washing to support him. 1t is said
she is so much afraid of him, owing to his
abuse of her. that she could not be persuaded
to appear against him. His arrest now is the
result of complaints to the police by the neigh
bors of Mrs. Edmonds. who knew the circuln.

WITHOUT POLICE PROTECTION.
Chicago's Mayor Refuses to Grant the r
DnnSt of the Eai- Ii,.ectorr

Chicago's Mayor Refuses to Grant the Re-
quest of the Fair Directory.
CHICAGO, Feb. 16.-President Gage, of
the Worlds Fair Directory, sent letter to
Mayor Cregier to-day, calling attention to
the danger of serious labor riots at Jackson
Park, and the necessity of police protection.
Before answering it the Mayor held con-
sultation with the corporation counsel, and
the former was instructed to draw up an
opinion on the matter. The conclusion was
reached that the city could not undertake to
keep force of police on the ground in an
ticipation of trouble, but that in case of a
riot police will be sent to suppress it.
The request for such, OF course, under
such circumstances, must come from the
Park Commissioners, not from the con-
tractors or Worlds Fair officials, although
the commissioners are not on the ground,
and are seldom in session. The main points
in support of the conclusion was, first, the
parks are under the direct control of the
Park Commissioners, and are provided with
their own police, and that, therefore, the
city has no right to interfere except by re-
quest of the Park Commissioners; second,
that if the report is true that the Italians are
aliens, they are not entitled TO police
protection, as, under an act passed BY the
State Legislature in 1885. it is made unlaw-
full for any board of commissioners, officer or
contractor, acting Tor or under any munich
pality, to employ aliens.

SWEEPING soUTHsIDE CIRCULARS.
Documents Issued in the Twenty-Nintf
Ward Create Much Stir.

Documents Issued in the Twenty-Ninth
Ward Create Much Stir.
Ward politics were pretty lively in all the
Southside wards last night. Things were fairly
buzzing in the Twenty fourth ward. There is
an Alderman to elect. The Democrats and
Republicans both made nominations which
does not seem to suit some factions at all. In
consequence of this there are said to be atleass
three independent candidates.
Probably the greatest stir was created In the
Twenty-ninth ward over the distribution or an
anonymous circular, which reflects on can
didate for School Director. Small crowds of
men could be found at almost any street corner
discussing the circular, and trying to figure out
who the originator is. The circular was about
4xo inches in size, and 1t had a number OF ques-
IOns printed on it, as follows:
ELECTION Tuesday, February IL, 1881.
"Who voted against home talent for an out
slider school teacher?
Who runs the Twenty-ninth Ward School
Boardr
"Who is the man that will change his politics
at any time to get an office?
school children to the Twenty-eighth ward
school?
"Who is the school director that will sell (his
friends) out the first opportunity? (Let the
members of the Taxpayers Protective Asso-
citation lookoutD
who is the power behind the throne, and
tells him how to vote! MY OLD WOMAN"
The name which is after all the questions is
printed in bold type, to attract particular at
appearance on the street, some of the ward
politicians held street corner meeting. 1t
was at once decided that they could guess who
had issued the circulars.
