HESITATION RATHER THAN STAG
NATION THE PRESENT SITUA-

Cleveland, Dec. 26.-The Iron Trade
Review today says While holiday dull
ness is upon the iron market in all it's
departments and seemingly intensified
by contrast with the history made in the
year just closing, there are reports from
all quarters Of inquiry much of which
means early business. Hesitation rather
than stagnation, is still the word. Here
and there buyer who must know the
cost of his raw material for the next six
months because of pending contracts
with the consumers of his product, is
taking hold at current rates: and these
are SO close to cost in nearly all instances
that the transactions involve little or no
risk. The truth is forced home on many
producers that the present basis of labor
cost is out Of all proportion to current
prices; and it would not be surprising, if
the market continues at the present level
to see in January movement for such
a readjustment in wages as has been talk
ing place in the product. Sales of Bes-
semer pig iron the past week have been
at $1O.75 at Valley furnace and it is in
timated that $10.50.is a possibility. The
fact that buyers who took considerable
blocks of metal few months with de-
liveries in December and the early
months of 1896, have paid price per ton
for the cancellation of their. contracts,
leaves the iron on the furnace qompany's
hands. To get this iron out of the way
the makers have been content to realize
cost having already been paid their pro-
fit by the original buyers.
What could be done on, contracts for
the first half of the year could only be
known as inquiries came UP. There is a
report that the present SLIGO basis for
furnace coke will be continued and that
it will not only be the circular price but
the actual price.
There is also report that the 81 pro-
gram will be carried out. It is believed
that any contracts made will be limited
to- 80 days.

The spreclscIscs' Torture story.

OF all the absurd canards that have

of prisoners by officials OF the island re-
public
In the first place. none of the happen
ings alleged to have taken place could
possibly have occurred without being gen
orally known throughout the length and
breadth of Honolulu almost Immediately:
in the second place, it would net be posi-
bic to frame any excuse for physically
torturing any OF thost who participated in
the rebellion, for from the time when it
was evident that all hope of successful
rebellion had departed there have been
more willing Witnesses than the author

savages, but are as highly civilized in
every respect as any Americans
1t is noteworthy that the tortured
rebel fabrication appeared originally in
the san Francisco Cali The Call is con
trolled by those members Of the Spreckles
family who were implicated in the rebel
lion, and who undoubtedly furnished the
royalist party with the money essential
for the outbreak that failed.

The action Of the cotton bale Convention
Of the steamship agents and railroad men,

inch standard box Incidental to this

creased number of iron ties, say twelve
The advantages that viii accrue to the
producer from the general adoption Of the
improved bale are great, and are to be
had at small cost. The only outlay indeed

altering the box Of the old cotton press

each. The advantages Will begin to ac-

results win be obtained on ship
board when the cotton reaches the ports;
the ships will be able TO take a great

the uniformity of the bales. And again
a lowering of freights will be effected.
In the new standard bale the cotton

There win. therefore, be no waste by reas-
on of the fleece being pulled out accident

of two motherless boys brought up by a

Very few know the amount taken from
the pockets of the tax payers of this
county by law, for the relief of those
who are in poverty stricken condition.
1t is quite large, but is not nearly so
large as that which is given voluntarily
by the people individually. or through the
many charitable organizations in aid of
the sick and destitute. The county COM
missioners levied, and caused to be col
lected last year, for the poor of the coun-
~, $4,000, as follows: General poor fund,
$4,000; Georgia Inhrmary. colored. $1,000;
St. Josephs Inirmary. $1,000; City Hospi-
tai, $1,000; Little Sisters of the Poor,
81 co., Abrams Home. $1,000.
1t is apparent that there is no failure
on the part of the county authorities
TO care for the poor, but the difficulty is
that the necessities of the poor cannot
be relieved in the hap-hazard way in
which charity is dispensed. The
only way in which the deserving poor can
receive proper attention is by establishing
an aims house, and an institution Of that
kind should be erected without unnec>
essary delay. In the meantime, however,
the poor are suffering, and some one
should undertake to bring all who control
public poor funds and all the managers
of charitable associations together. for the
purpose of organizing a general plan of re-
hef.some must lead in the matter and
why should not the almoners of the coun-
ty poor fund, the county commissioners,
be the leaders? There appears to be a
special responsibility in this matter rest
ing upon them.
