THE IRON TRADE.

The prospects of the iron trade are
no, as flatterlng as It's friends would
like to see them, and the realizations OF
spring business are not up 10 expecta-
tons. 1t is useless to disguise the
fact that the fear OF ''revision" OF
the tariff is still at the bottom of some
of the dulness. The adjournment OF
Congress has temporarily removed the
danger of an immediate modification
or repeal OF the duties on manufactured
grades; but with the prospect OF an
extra session of that body hanging over
the trade, the feeling OF relief is not
strong enough to start even the usual
preparations for larger future produc-
ton, The circumstances under which
the new administration assumed office,
its admitted intention to make an ad-
vance toward Free Trade in every de-
partment of business had the effect CT
creating apprehension from the start.
Indeed, that feeling has had possession
of the trade since the result Of the
election last November. Had Presi-
dent HARRISON been re elected, and at
least one of the Houses of Congress
continued IN Republican hands, there
would have been fxe3 prospect
before employers and men; but with
Congress and the Executive both
hostile at heart to the present schedule
there cannot be any certainty of what
is to come
And this phase of the question must
continue to be uppermost for some
time to come. We cannot look for
any marked improvement SO long as
no one can predict what reductions
will be made by the motley array Of
statesmen who now hold the balance
OF power in both Houses. With the
Worlds Fair only few weeks off,
there should have been the greatest
activity in structural iron and steel rail
circles; but even here the same appre-
henson prevails. 1t is for these reasons
that even a special session would be
welcomed. The bulk of the manu-
features would prefer knowing the
worst that is in store for them to
dragging on under the uncertainty
which now envelopes their work.

DEMOCRATIC NEPOTISM.

We have always thought that
blood was thicker than water, and
in the matter OF political appoint
ment, between two applicants equally
qualified family relationship ought
not to be a disqualification. Senator
German seems to be OF the same
opinion, for he has just secured a
good position in the War Depart
ment for his brother in law Mr..
Stephen Gambrill, and no good
Maryland Democrat has objected to
it on the ground of Nepotism.
But during the two administra-
tious of General Grant. the country
over fairly rang with this cry, when
ever that pure and patriotic man,
appointed to office any one nearly
or remotely, directly or laterally
| related to him. But what was de
nounced as almost political crime
under General Grants admlnlstra'
ton, is not even regarded as a
political sin under the present Demo-
cratic administration, and Nepotlsm
was never so bold
Look at the present record.
Vice President Stevenson has
appointed his son as private secre-
tarv, and Secretary Carlisle has fol-
lowed suit with his son to the best
place under him. As the Senate
and House have agreed to appoint
private secretaries for the members,
| Senators Cockrill, Blackburn, Voor-
hees, Pugh, Morgan, Vance, Mills,
Harris and others, who are chair
man of committees have removed
experienced Republican clerks, and
appointed their own sons as clerks
of these committees.
Senator Palmer not having son
handy appointed his daughter pri-
vate secretary at Sc day. He will
be recollected as the Illinois Mug
wump who charged General Grant
with Nepotism. Chairman Springer,
a member of the House, who had
much TO say of the Nepotism Of
Grant, as soon as he was made
chairman of the Ways and Means
committee fastened to appoint his
son clerk. Speaker Crisp without
any fear of charges of Nepotism,
made his son clerk. So Enlove OF
Tennessee. Peel of Arkansas. Catch
ings, Riley, Sillman, Bankhead and
other Democratic chairmen OF the
House, had their sons appointed
clerks of the committees of which
they were chairmen.
Ex-senator Reagan, of Texas,
when he was in the Senate, having
reither son nor daughter to call into
the government service, had his wife
act as his private secretary. Now
that each member OF the House is to
have private secretary great field
is opened for Democratic members
of Congress to employ their sons
and daus hters and wives as clerks
in committees and for themelves.
In view of the Democratic cry Of
economy and bankrupt national
treasury, the sincerity of these
official Nepotists, is as refreshing as
it is hypocritical.

AFTER all the comment on the
appointment of Judge Gresham as
Secretary Of State, it is somewhat
curious that the choice of his assistant
should have been quietly passed over
on all sides without attracting similar
notice. For, excepting that JOSIAH
Quincy's detection from the ranks OF
-. Republican party took place
several years ago, while that OF Mr..
Gresham is comparatively recent, the
political career of the two is very much
alike. Whatever claims the new Score
tary Of State possesses to the title
of Mugwump, the Massachusetts, man
can more than match. With the
appointment itself, it would be unreason
able to find any fault. 1t can hardly
be obnoxious, even to the Republican
party. JOSIAH Quincy is pronounced
Mugwump; but his apostacy to the
faith of his ancestors does not extend
beyond the tariff question, and in OF her
respects he is worthy of the line of
eminent statesmen whose name he
bears. He comes of a stock IN which
the American people have re 'son to
feel confidence. Moreover, judging
from his political predictions, he
should prove congenial and sYmpa-
thetic coadjufor for Secretary Gresham.
They will have at least one strong bond
of sympathy in the fact, that both have
passed from one fold into the other
and for similar reasons.

WILLIAM BALDERsToN, son of our

Balderston OF Colora, is now editing
the Idaho Daily Statesman, published
at Boise City, Idaho. We had
occasion some two years ago to refer
to the excellent record he was max
ing on the Aspen Daily. Times. and
the paper on which he is now
engaged, affords wider scope for
effective editorial work. Since re-
moving to Idaho, Mr. Balderston
has married, his wife having been
prominently identified with educa-
tional work in Colorado. Mr.. Bal
derston's location being in the capital
of the State, the circle of his acquain-
lance has been necessarily widened,
