In The Forum for June, just received,
we note two articles that will be
perused with especial interest by Della
ware readers; the opening paper on
democratic Duty and Opportunity"
by Hon. Thomas +. Bayard, and a paper
on Needed Reform in Naturalization, ;"
by Professor John b. Moore, assistant
secretary of state under President
Cleveland. Mr.. Bayard takes for his
text an extract from the 1888 message
of President Cleveland, in which occur
the significant words whose truth has
been so impressively attested by the
history of the Reed Congress and the
action of the Harrison administration i.
THE communism Of combined wealth
and capital, the oulgrowth of overween-
ing cupidity and selflshness, which
insidiously undermines tho Justice
and integrity of free institutions,
is not less dangerous than the com
munism of oppressed poverty and toll
which, exasperated by injustice and dis
content, attacks with wild disorder the
citadel of rule" The writer paints with
telling force the insolent rapacity and
usurpation by which, through the
Mckinley bill, the rules of Reed and
that measure which came so perilously
near enactment-the Force bill, recently
branded by Mr.. Teller as "the most in
famous measure that ever entered the
Senate"-the representatives of trium-
plant plutocracy and of the communism
of combined wealth and capital "fiocked
to the seat Of the national government
to arrange for division OF the spoils of
conquest and to rivet more securely the
letters of their CONTROL"

Philadelphia's mayor has again vetoed
the trolley ordinance, and this time the
Traction company could not pass the
measure through Select Council over
the veto. On the contrary, the veto
was sustained in that body, by vote of
"a to 7. The purpose of this ordinance
was to authorize and direct the mayor
to enter into contract with tho Phila-
delphia Traction Company, as lessee of
certain street railways therein specified,
ITO regulate the use of electric motors to
be supplied from overhead wires, and
the erection and maintenance Of poles to
support said wires in pursuance of GER
tain ordinances, hitherto repassed,
authorizing said company to use said
electric motors to be supplied from said
overhead wires and to erect and main
tain poles to support said wires" The
mayors veto was based on his conyic-
ton that the great majority of the
people are opposed to any more poles
and overhead wires and should have
the right to control the use of the
streets, "and am determined" he says,
that 1 will never by an act of niue
grant permission to use the streets in
any way in opposition to what | believe
to be the will of the people," By this
action of the mayor and Select Council,
the Traction Company is thrown back
upon the franchises conveyed in the
original ordinances which were passed
over the mayors former veto, two or
three months ago, the legality Of which
has been assailcd in litigation already
begun. The Ledger says "there is reason
to hope and believe that five of the
seven, at least, (of these original ordi-
nances) will be declared invalidn by the
courts.

1t has sometimes been held that when,
in consequence Of our tax on imports,
tho price has been reduced in other
countries on the articles which we still
import, that we have simply put that
tax on the people of such other coun-
tries. There could not be more mis-
chievous error. To tho extent that we
keep down prices in other countries, by
tariffs and distractions, we diminish tho
poioer Of purchase Of that country in no.
spect 10 our food and when our tariff
tax has reduced the prices of iron and
steel, wool, tin plates, or some other
crude materials abroad, we have given
the advantage to the foreign consumer
OF these crude materials over our own
consumers. In this we may have in
vited the increasing quantity of imports
OF finished products at lessening cost
BY the very acts by which we have at
tempted to exclude them. Any tae i'm
posed IN this country on crude materials

In No. 139 of the United States Con
sular Reports, Horace Greeley Knowles
writes up the tramway and omnibus
system of Bordeaux. Public trans
portation in that city, he informs US, is
carried on, and in fact monopolized, by
an English joint stock company Of
limited liability, which pays to the
municipality so much for its charter,
with the understanding that it shall
enjoy the exclusive privilege Of run
ming tram-cars and omnibuses. The
same company has monopoly of pub
lie transportation in Lyons and many
other French cities The city holds
guaranty deposit TO ensure proncr
service and receives in addition S4s.25
per year for each car and omnibus in
use. Octroi duties on horse feed-the
trolley has not yet appeared in Bor-
deaux--and various other taxes bring
in the municipality an annual revenueof
$33,053 from its street cars and omni.
buses. Both vehicles are doublc-deckers,
as is usual in Europe, and arc allowed
to carry only so many passengers
as can find seats, in addition 10 five
standing on each platform. When the
vehicle has received its full complement
an automatic sign board announces that
it is full and no more are taken aboard.
The maximum fare is four cents for an
inside seat and three cents for seat Oh
the roof. For the year 1890 the re-.
ceipts of the transportation company
were $685., AGILE expenses, $4s3 800. 30;
net profit, $1o2,071.s2. Consul Knowles
says in conclusion "AlI things con
sidered, the service of the Bordeaux
Tramway and Omnibus Company may
be said to be quite satisfactory ID thepeo-
pie. There exists at times many annoy
ances that would scarcely be tolerated
>in some Of our American cities, where il
would seem that surface car accommo-
dation had reached almost perfection.
The great majority of European cities
have yet room for an immense deal 81
improvement as regards their respective
systems of public transportation.

WELLINGTON, KAN, May 30.-The most
terrific rain storm that ever visited this
section fell between the hours OF 2 and 4
o'clock this morning. The water came
down in torrents and the streets were rum

rooted stores aud residences were Hooded,
greatly adding TO the misery and distress
caused by the recent tornado.

They Prove Too Much.

These figures tell their own story.
Those of 1890 may fairly be taken as
representing the normal demand. In
March, 1891, the movement to stock up
In advance Of the going into effect Of
the increased duty had fairly begun.
The effect of the surplus stock laid in
during March, April, May and June of
last year seems to have fingered until
February, possibly till March, of this
year; but the importation of $3.50 tons
during March indicates that all the sur
plus Of last year has finally been ex-
hausted.
Now these figures show that, in spite
of all the talk about new tin plate mills
starting up or about to start up in this
country, we are still dependent upon
foreigners for practically our whole
supply of tin-plate. And every pound
embraced in the above exhibit paid an
import duty of Q 1-5 cents. 1t couldn't
get through the custom houses without,
and these figures are custom house re-
ceipts. If any tin-plate has been snug
gled in free of duty it does not figure in
This list.
Consequently, whatever price tin
plate may sell at in this country, that
price is bound to be at least 2 Id cents
higher than the same article would
bring in market where no duty is
Hxacted-Canada, for examrle-unless
Che tin-plate is imported and marketed
at loss to the importers, which would
not be business. This is as plain as the
nose on ones face.
We find an item going the rounds
about Smyrna Gamer buying 1000
boxes of tin at 271 cents per box less
than he paid for the same quality and
brand one year ago, and the claim is
made that this is proof that the tariff
is not a tax. If this story be true, and
the tin was purchased in the regular
way and not from some one who was
forced to sell at sacrifice, two things
are clear. First-that the price of tin
plate abroad has fallen more than Q %
cents in the markets of the world; for
it must necessarily still cost us at least
the foreign price with the duty added.
Second-that the schemes of the PRO
tectionists" have miscarried, and the
prospective new tin-plate mills are
knocked out; since, if they could not
be run at profit one year ago, they can
not be run at profit now, if tin-plate
really is, as claimed, as cheap now as it
was then. The only object in putting
up the duty from one cent pound to
21-5 cents was to so increase the price
of the foreign product as to encourage
the manufacture Of tin-plate at home.
Nobody will deny this. If, then, the
effect has been, not to increase but to
diminish the price, what becomes OF
shis promised encouragement? The tin
plate men are trying to prove their ain

Referring to press dispatch sent out
from that town several days ago, the
Chestcrtown, Md, Transcript says there
has been no question Of the guilt of tie
lynched negro, Taylor. "We have never
heard from any source in the county,
says the Transcript, "that the negro is
thought TO have been innocent Upon
the contrary, every one, both white and
colored, who is conversant with the
facts, believes Taylor committed the
crime. Nellie is positive in her state
ments and there can be no doubt about
it."

So rapidly have science and invention
moved forward that the centennial ex-
hibit of 1876, though so great in its day,
seems now, by contrast with the electric
era that has since grown upon us, much
farther removed than by the years that
have interviewed, and yet sixteen years
has been a pretty long time to take in
winding up the financial affairs Of that
enterprise. Yet the Centennial Board
Of Finance has only now, after all these
years Of unavailing appeal, secured the
proper authority from Congress to en-
able it TO close its affairs and dissolve
the corporation. Its accounts, amount
ing to several millions of dollars, were
audited and approved long ago, leaving
a balance in the boards hands of about
$4,000 in unclaimed dividends and IN
distributable assets. This balance, under
the authorization of Congress, will now
be paid over TO the Pennsylvania Mu-
scum and the faithful stewards who
have done their work SO creditably will
then retire from business.
