THE POT BOILING.

The ever busy politician is now
beginning to stir up the shoulder
ing fire under the political oauldron,
and as be jabs away at the fuel ana
the flames become more intense. and
the contents begin to foam and seethe
therefrom, seer-like he watches the
rising mirage and endeavors to I'M
ravel therefrom effects and results In
the future. One sees tariff Senate,
and predicts trouble; another sees an
unwieldy, unmanagable free trade
House, with no united leaders, and
divided upon silver coinage, and
predicts ruin to commerce, manufac-
lures and home interests; another
shakes his head over Blaine's decli-
nation, and wonders if Harrison will
again be victorious; still another
curses Cleveland and Hill for their
viperish battle, and swear they will
ruin their party. In our own State
too the stirring has commenced, and,
az usual on the see saw log, the
western end are punched, holding
their end down, with the eastern
panhandle high up in the air, crying
don't; and still another voice comes
from Morgan and Berkeley, victims
of vile political gerrymander, cry
ing where are our stolen, representa-
tives, what have you done with our
representation and taxation2 Other
forms and objects fit through the
mirage; but the most startling ap-
pearances Of reality to the politician,
are here and there quiet, indepen-
dent men, over there, a thinking
granger, and yonder, some hustling
alliance men, sturdy fellows, sover-
eigns Of their own will, who vote as
they wish. checking wrong and sus-
tanning right, and these are the
powers that be, that are yet mys-
terv to the Hooker. Still he fires
on, hoping that here and there, now
and then, one may drop into his
clutches.

The desire of Mr.. Blaine to pro-
tect his wife from the dspersGon cast
upon her, on account of the divorce
of Mrs. Nevins Blaine, is very cred
liable, at the same time we doubt
the propriety of his engaging IN the
controversy. These troubles are la
BILE to occur in any family, and 60
ing before the public for justification
is unnecessary. 1t now becomes an
unequal contest for Mr.. Blaine, be-
cause, with shrewd lawyer to write
the divorced wife's communications,
he will be at disadvantage. He
can better manage a controversy
with nation than engage in pub
lie discussion with woman.

Crisis in the Iron Trade.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, March g.
The crisis of the fight between the
Alabama and Pennsylvania iron pro-
duct is felt to have arrived. The
market has gone to pieces, and Birm-
ingham furnaces have 100000 tons
in their yards The railroads have
been called on to reduce freight to the
lowest possible point, and reduc-
ton of 10 per cent in wages has been
determined on. Representatives of
three leading companies have gone
on to New York to consult with
Eastern stockholders and directors
of railroads interested in this Sec
ton. In the meanwhile the furnaces
continue in full operation.
PITTRBURG, PA, March 2.-The
present condition of the iron trade
and the idleness of so many pLddlers

Mckinley BillsAlso Declared Constitu-

Behring Sea and Other Eases Decided
by the Supreme Body.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. o.
The mo quorum case, in which the
legality OF the Dingley worsted act
was attacked b Bailin, Joseph &
Co., importers, was to-day decided
by the United STATES Supreme Court
The Dingley act was passed through
the action OF Speaker Reed in count
ing a quorum when there was quo
rum of three hundred members pres
ent, but not voting The importers
maintained that Speaker Reed . ac-
tion was in violation of the constitu-
tion and that the act passed in this
manner was void.
The United States circuit court for
the southern district of New York
decided against the United States
and in favor of the importers on this
ground, so that the case came before
the United States Supreme Court ad-
verse to the constitutionaiity the "no
quorum" method of parliamentary
procedure. The court, in an opinion
by Justice Brewer, holds that the mo
quorum" rule was valid and that the
house of representatives had right
to make such rule.
MCKINLEY BILL CONSTITUTIONAL.
THE THREE CASES DECIDED BY THE
UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 2l.-
The three cases in which importers
sought to test the constltutionality
of the Mckinley tariff act were to-
day decided by the United States
Supreme Court. The title of these
cases are Boyd, Sutton & Co. and
Herman Sternbach & Co., each ver-
sus the United States, and Joel B.
Erhardt, collector of the port of New
York, and Marshall, Field & Co.
versus Clark, collector of the port of
Chicago.
The grounds On whichit was main
tanned that The tariff was unconsti
tutional were that the tobacco rebate
section of the bill had been omitted
in its enrolment after its passage by
Congress, and therefore that the bill
signed by the President was not the
bill passed by the legislative depart
ment; that the reciprocity feature
was transmission to the executive
of law making power and therefore
void, vitiating the whole act. and
lastly, that the act was void because
of the sugar bounty provision. The
court affirmed the judgments of the
New York and Illinois circuit courts
Of che United States in favor of the
constitutionalitv of the act.
