The coal bank at the Wheeling Iron
and Steel Work is shut down owing to
the refusal Of the miners to accept the
reduction asked by the company, and
there appears to be no likelihood of a
compromise being effected. The ex-

yesterday of the reduction of the min
ers and the heavy reduction of the
Riverside steel workers, has excited
much comment, not only in Benwood.

people are wondering when the reduc-

pECKsNtFF aAs A Wall.

Our Pecksniffian friend of the Intel
sligencer is all broke up because the
Register has dared to ask some point
ed questions and make some pertinent
comments on the founded report
that Mark Hanna and other advisors
of the President were clamoring for an
early adjournment of Congress, to
which the Executive had given favor
able ear; but since it proved so I'M
popular there is perceptible effort to
hedge. This self-righteous neighbor-
he who was wont to speak of Mr..
Cleveland as the stuffed Prophet"
who was compelled Ito put on his
collar over his head'-wails great
wall and accuses the Register of libel
ing the President" and of being guilty
of yellow Journalism, etc, etc. Tut,
tut, dear Pecksniff, do not howl before
you are hurt; also examine yourself
carefully and see if you are not be-
smirched with some of the yellow jour-
nalism of which you are so prone to
accuse others.
Meanwhile the Register will con-
tinue to fairly criticise the peoples
servants at Washington when it be-
lieves there is need of it, OF course,
it is understood that that duty does
not lie within the power of an organ
wearing the Hanna collar. fact
which makes it all the more imperative
that the Register should. for it's very
large clientele of Republican readers
know that they will not find anything
SO independent in the columns of our
neighbor

If the esteemed Intelligencer will
will find them filed with the informa-
ton from Washington that the Pres
ident wished for the prompt adjourn
ment of Congress, and will additionally
discover that a good many of these
papers, as we'll as the country at
large, were not in love with the idea.
There was a notable cartoon in that
direction in a Pittsburg Republican
paper of Wednesday morning. Pursu-
ing the investigation, the Intelligencer
will presently ascertain that the idea
of sending Congressman home in this
crisis has raised such an indignant
protest all over the country, that the
President and his advisers found it
necessary to hedge. notably through
General Grosvenor and Mr. Dalzell
A Washington telegram we'll explains
why this was done. 1t says:
The secret of this feeling is that mem
beers and Senators have been nearing from
their constituents on the subject OF the
Maine disaster and the Cuban question
Protests have been pouring IN against ad-
iournment of Congress before the entan-
elements with Spain have been cleared

publican members have been receiving let

WHERE M'KINLEY MISSED 1T,

Under the above caption the Chi
cago Chronicle gives a very piquant,
and at the same time convincing OBJ
ject lesson, whether or not the con-
sumer pays the tax on imported artl-
Giles. II is within the memory o.
many readers of the Register bow per-
sistent and with what great labor in
the campaigns of "a and 'SS the Re-
publican press of the country tried to
prove that the duty was paid by the
foreigner who exported the goods, and
not the consumer. Column after COZ
umn. and morning after morning. this
would be the tocsin of our Republican
a shining example. However, it is
probable that observation. and the
course of events, has altogether Grad
icated this theory, unless we except
the Bourbon element which never
changes its views, however untenable.
But the object lesson deserves re-
producing:
From what we know of ex-President
Harrison we may presume that ne retad
with surprise not unmixed with indigna-
ton Secretary Longs letter asking Con-
gress to permit the importation of war
material free Of duty.
Mr.: Harrison is an economist who has
consistently adhered to the doctrine that
it is the foreigner who pays the duty.
We have no evidence that he doubts the
truth of the doctrine even in cases where
ha I1rr jc- col n
twice as much as the foreigner gets for
his goods. He has the courage of his
convictions, and we may not doubt that
he really believes that when the foreign
er sells uSlgoods for 81 600 600 on which the
duty is s.. 600 900 he pays the duty: that is,
that he parts with his goods and $4,000 goo
in cash in exchange for 81 900. 600 in cash.
Believing as he does that the foreigner
pays. it is clearly duty which Mr.. Har-
rlson owes his country to recall Mr.. Long
from the error of his ways. And he should
recall Mr.. Long through Mr.. Mckinley.
for the latter in reporting his bill in 1880
was so heretical as to declare that the
American consumer does pay the tariff
tax. or part of IL, in some cases. as. for
instance. in the case of sugar or in cases
where duties merely produce revenue
without. protecting anybody.
Dor with the President and induce him to
send a message to Congress urging that
Secretary Longs request be not granted.
The eX-PreSident also should point out
to the President that he has lost glor-
ious opportunity to demonstrate the ex-
celenee Of the protective mode of taxing
the foreigner. He should inform the
President that before contracting for
these battleships abroad he ought to have
urged Congress to put duty of at least
200 per cent. on all warships bought
abroad by the United States. There would
have been millions in it," If the price
Of the SHIPS was 100000 the duty. on
them would have been $40. 600 600 and since
the foreigner pays the dut- Uncle Sam
would have got two warships and $4,000,

SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK.
A Meeting Next Week to Make Plans for
Canvassing the City.

Canvassing the City.
The Register has announced that one
OF the results of the conference of Sun
day school workers in this city this
week would be a movement to canvass
the city in the interest of the Sunday
schools. This movement is expected
to assume tangible form at a meeting
to be held at the Fourth Street M. E.
Church Tuesday evening of next week
at eight o'clock.
A cordial invitation has been extend
ed to all officers, teachers and older
scholars of the Sunday schools to at
tend this meeting. Plans will be out
lined for a systematic canvass Of the
city and care will be taken TO ascer-
tain as near as possible how many
children are attending Sunday school;
also to discover, if possible the relig-
ious preferences of the parents. The
work will be non-sectarian, and should
therefore commend itself TO all who
are interested in the spiritual welfare
of the boys and girls.

THE SELLING OF WAR SHIPS.

The London representatives Of the
United States charged with the nego-
tiations for the purchase Of ships for
the navy, are having some amusing
experiences, and are evidently earning
their salaries. while the thrifty natures
of the agents for the sale of ships have
been abundantly and ably demonstra-
ted. The price demanded for any
given ship is always far in excess of her
real value. and in some cases a dozen
agents have offered to sell the same
vessel no two prices being the same.
1t is stated that in one instance
small but fast merchant steamer was
offered at sl50,000 In forty-eight
hours ten other offers were made by
ten different agents, and the last price
quoted was s450,0

MIR. kINS SPEAKS.

Senator Elkins has been interviewed
and over his own signature relates his
views on the Cuban crisis. His re-
marks may be found in another col
umn. 1t is a plain statement calcu-
lated to send a SILVER through the
reader who has fair share of patriot
ism and human sympathy in his make
up. In fact it is just such a document
as any one who knows the Senator
would expect 1t is as expressionless
as the contents of a deed of convey
ance or a contract for a shipload Of
coal.
We commend to Mr.. Elkins consid-
Grafton the clauses in the National Re-
publican platform adopted at ST. Louis
bearing upon Cuba, which, let us hope,
were not intended merely for lip SER
vice:
From the hour of achieving their own
Independence, the people Of the United
States have regarded with sympathy the
struggles of other American peoples to
free themselves from European domina-
ton. We watch with deep and abiding
interest the heroic battle of the Cuban
patriots against cruelty and oppression.
and our best hopes go out for the full
success of their determined contest for
liberty.
The Government of Spain. having lost
control of Cuba and being unable to pro-
tect the property or lives of resident
American citizens. or to comply with its
treaty obligations. We believe that the
Government of the United States should
actively use its influence and good of
fees to restore peace and give independ-
ence to the island.
