PHILADELPHIA, April 19.-The de-
Tense had its innings during the day in
the trial Of Senator Quay and itmadc
the most of its opportunity. Exper.
Accountant Meyer Goldsmith, tho COM
monwealth's witness. was under q
scorching fire Of cross-exaininatioa all
day, and the result of it justities the
opinion that the network Of evidence
wrought by the prosecution from the
books Of the broken bank tending to
show Senator Quay's guilty participa-
ton in the unlawful use of the banks
money was very much shaken by the
admissions the witness was compelled
to make. Nearly all the apparently
damaging entries attached to Senator
Quay's name or account in the bank as
testified to were explained away or
greatly modified by the statements of
the common wealth's own witness. Law
yer Shields got from the witness the
admission that if Hopkins had

book would show that at the beginning

stead of over 81, 900, as alleged. TAX
ing up the allegation that Senator Quay
had borrowed $135, 900 during the ''set-
Element" period ending Oct. 18, 1897,
the last settlement before the bank
closed, Mr.. Shields forced from Gold
smith, piece by piece, facts tending to
show that in nearly every instance the
amounts charged to Senator Quay were
really loans to other persons, politicians
mostly, for whom Quay endorsed.
Where there was definite loan to SEN
ator Quay the repayment was clearly
proven. In this connection it might be
well to say that District Attorney Roth.
ermel claims that he has clearly estab-
lished the fact he started ont to prove,
namely, that 600, 900, Of the state de-
post in tho bank was set aside for the
use Of Senator Quay. and whether he
used it himself or loaned 1t to others is
not material in proving the conspiracy.

that tho law should be amended so that

delinquent in two instances and was
caught by the land grabber, although he
was ignorant of the fact that there was
any back tax on his property The pro-
perty he says was bought i'm by the
State without any notice to him, and
the first he knew of his delinquency was
when no got the land grabbers' notidca-
ton. and then it was too late TO escape
the penalty Of s..
This, IS, indeed, q hardship, and there
are others like #. although they are ex-
cepuonal. Most of the delinquents not
only knew Of their delinquency. but were
purposely behind in their dues to the
state. Some. perhaps because It was in
convenient to pay and others because
they took advantage of the States len
Icncy.
The law was not intended to be OPP
prcssve. IL was not designed i'm the in
tercst of the land grabber. but in the
interest of the State and OF those tax
payers who pay promptly In principle it
is all right, and in practice it has, with
some notable exceptions. worked admira-
bly,. We are i'm favor of making such

but We are none the less in favor of see

time for collecting taxes. and every tax
payer should be required 20 meet his obH-
cation when due. It is certainly not
right TO require one class of taxpayers

THE PRODUCTION OF IRON.

Some Of the wiseacres claim that there

men who will dictate the price at which

ling proposition and will IN the minds Of
many persons with alarm. But it causes
Us none whatever.
what will happen II this does not oc-

become so perfect that unless those who

business they will cut each others

TO paying oxhorbitant prices for iron?
We fear neither event. This combina-

that 20 can sell, but it will allow no more

wei. We don't want TO see waste in our
raw material But will IT sell at ex-

If So does. because as the price goes up

the combinations profits fan off, IT will
