Sound Advice by a JurIst.


In the course of an address delivered
at a society dinner, Saturday evening.
Judge Edward G. Bradford of this city
said; sit is one OF the prime duties OF
good citizenship to preserve the elective
franchise invio'ate in its purity. 1t is
a cardinal principle with all honorable
and patriotic men that the ballot de-
posted by voter shall represent his
will, and not merely the will OF another.
In SO far as there is depai turo in
practice from this principle blow is
struck at the foundation. on which a
republican form of government must
rest. &"
The soundness of these premises, we
take it, will not be questioned by any
honest citizen. Nor will the.e be the
slightest dissent on the part of such
citizens with the conclusion advanced
by the honorable judge. as follows
He who for the cake of public position
or preferment devotes his time and
money to widespread corruption OF
voters and debauchegy OF the ballot
box, is the worst enemy OF tho State.
In his selfish greed he strikes at the
ve.y root of American liberty. He il
neither good citizen nor a good man.
His proper environment is the intario,
Of penitentiary rather than the honole
of public Office. +"
No honest citizen will find himself in
q quandary as to what application to
make in this connection.
And IN view of the fact that general
election will be held in this State next
year, every good citizen should study
Judge Bradford's remarks with great
care, aud govern himself accordingly.

Secretary Of the Treasury Gage has
called for the resignation of Appraiser
Wilbur +. Waterman of the port of New
York, on the ground that he has not
besn performing his Official duties in
the proper spirit. The trouble with
Mr.. Wakman has tesn that, as an
ardent pro.ectionist and secretary of
the American Tariff League, he has
bsen administering h's office more in
the interests of protection THAI with
d duo rsga.d for the law. In fact ac-
cording to a report made by commit
tee OF the Merchants Association, he
deemed 1t his duty to place obstruc-
tions In the way Of inportatiuns of
foreign goods Should he refuse to re-
sign the President will be asked to re-
move him. But whether the latter will
dare to thus fly in the face of tho pro-
tected interests is question.

IRON AND CONCRETE.

New Method of Construction in the
Netherlands.
The Amsterdamsche Fabriek van Cement
Yer Werken has furnished United States
Consul Hill at Amsterdam office with the
following description OF q new system of
construction. which is used in the new
Postal Savings Bank building Of that city,
now approaching completion:
I'm the 'Monier' system of building, an
iron framework Cooking much like a bird
cage is entirely enveloped in concrete Of
Portland cement. which prevents the iron
from getting rusty and at the same time
renders the concrete elastic. The iron, or
rather steel, acts entirely in tension: the
concrete. in pressure. This construction is
at once strong. freproof and waterproof.
and entails no outlay for repairs.
Patents have been taken out in various
countries and in Germany a Joint stock
company. with capital Of 100000 marks,
has been formed. An establishment Of
concrete-iron works has been opened in
the province of Iceland and another In
Amsterdam. u
This company has made a number Of ex-
periments resulting In the application Of
the construction, described as an econo-
mic substitute in many cases for T con-
structionS, generally used heretofore.
Floors without beams measuring 71a by
~ meters Gas feet) and S17 by S1z meters
C2l.9 feeD have been constructed for the
Postal Savings Bank at Amst erdam; and a
floor of 800 square meters "a. 22S square feet),
constructed as whole with beams), Is
about to be made for a government build
ing at The Hague. ~
Complicated formulae being required in
the calculation of concrete-iron floors and
beams, the directors Of the company have
had some graphic tables drawn up, which
enable them to find at glance the neces-
sary data for the work These calculations
and tables are kept strictly secret

in all European countries in the censtruc-
ton Of government buildings and in manu-
factories. 1t is believed that in a compare
lively few years, It will have replaced brick,
wood iron. etc. in the building trade. The
method is specially adapted for bridges.
The Monier' system will undoubtedly
meet with considerable success in the new
world. as many tanks, etc, now made of
concrete only could be conveniently con-
structed Of concrete iron The company

INJURY TO COMMERCE..
Effect of Russian Retaliation on
Trade With This Country.

The Russian retaliatory duties on Ameri-

ly stopped the Importation Of that class OF
goods at Moscow. according to report re-
ceived at the State Department from Dep
uty Consul General Hanauer at Frankfort.
Germany. According to Russian correspond
ence published In German papers, wholesale
firms in MOSCOW recently inquired OF the
American consul at that point as TO why
the importation Of these articles had almost
entirely ceased. and he promptly told them
that the enhanced Russian duty was the
cause.
The Moscow district annually exports
goods to the value OF 81 10000 to the
United States mainly wool. hides. pelts and
some manufactured articles; but the Mos
cow merchants fear that. in consequence of
the tariff differences between the two gov
ernments, the exports from their districts
