The big nail trust, which has
been keeping nails up to an enor-
nous figure, has gone under, and
the mem bers of the trust have lost
heavily. The result is that nails
have dropped down to within a few
cents of the lowest price they were
ever sold for, and they are likely to
go lower.

Flood Counted In.

1t appears now that it is not the
thing to settle elections atthe polls
by the votes Of the people, but
there must be some little irregu-
larity hunted out in the returns,
and the battle that should be fought
to a finish at the polls is carried in
to court.
This is the ease in the 10th dis
trict. The State canvassing board
composed of the following mem
bers; Governor O'Ferrall' Colonel
Morton Mayre, Auditor Of Public
Accounts: A, W. Hartman, State
Treasurer, and Joseph Lawless, Sec
rotary of the Commonwealth, have
awarded the certificate Of election
to Hon. II. D, Flood, as Congress
man from this district over Hon.
Jacob YoSt, who undoubtedly re-
ceived a safe majority of the votes
cast for that Office. Yost's poll in
Buckingham county, which was
1872 votes, was thrown out by the
canvassing Board, not because of
improperly scratched ballots or for
the reason that there was the
slightest doubt that came up in any
shape that Yost did not have ,272
votes cast for him in that county,
but on account of the official re-
turns being made out Improperly
by the county clerk. In the alb
stract of votes for members of Con-
gress, made out by the clerk and
forwarded to the Secretary Of the
Commonwealth, he certified that
1857 votes had been cast for H. D.
Flood and 1872 for Jacob Yost.
Mr.. Yost's name appeared on the
ticket as J. Yost, and the clerk
should have had it j. Yost, instead
of Jacob Yost; but it is perfectly
clear for whom it was intended, as
there was no other candidate in the
district by the name of Yost. In
addition to this the clerk on discOv-
ering his mistake sent in an amend
ed abstract. Notwithstanding
these facts, the 1,272 votes cast for
Mr.. Yost were thrown out bv the
canvassing board, which would |
give Mr.. Flood majority in the
district. 1t seems to be the I'M
preston with some that on a part |
Of the tickets which were
used in Buckingham county the
name j. Yost appeared, and on the
other part the name Jacob Yost;
but this is incorrect. 1t has been
proven conclusively chat the name
J. Yost appeared on all the tickets.
The Richmond correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun says that unless
Mr.. Flood changes his mind he will
not accept the certificate of cleo
ticn. Should this he the case, un-
less the court orders the counting
OF the Buckingham votes for Yost
there would be a vacancy in the
Tenth district, and the Governor
would have to order new election.
A man of true principle will not
accept an Office unless he receives
majority of the votes. and i'll this
case, unless there is more in it than
has been reported, we certainly
think Mr.. Flood would be acting
the part of a man to decline the
,ortiHcoto Of oleotiOn owurdod him,

Chief Ford, of the treasury bu-
reau OF statistics, agrees with Sena-
tor German both in the belief that
the Dingley tariff bill would do the
Treasury no good and that the best
way out Of present difficulties
would be to put duty on coffee
ard tea. He said: IF Congress
desires to pass purely revenue bill
at this Session it will be easy
enough to get up one that would
stop the deficit. A tax Of 40 per
cent on coffee and tea and dollar
a barrel additional on beer would
do it to nicely, by adding about
S75,000,000 a year to our revenue"
The Fiftyffth Congress is decid-
ly republican, but the outlook is
that it will not be harmonious
household. The McKinleyites and
anti-McKinleyites have already had
spat in regard to pushing reve-
nue. measure through the Senate at
the short session. The anti-Mc-
kinley republicans will do their
part toward showing the country
how badly divided the republican
PARTY is even on the tariff question,
and the financial division will not
be overlooked either. The next
Congress promises to be one of the
liveliest seen for years, and altho
the democrats therein will not be
mum Crous enough to accomplish
much by action as party, there
is no guessing what they may do
by holding the balance of power
between the republican factions in
the Senate.
