CAUSED OREGON RESULT.
Probing of Land Frauds Redounded
TO Credit of administration.
IFRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU

Washington. June 1O.-Secretary Hitchcock Of
the Interior Department believes that the fiat
tering Republican majority rolled up IL Oregon
carly this week was the direct result Of the land
fraud investigation made by the administration
When we began the prosecutions" said the
Secretary to-day, mo one had any idea that
they would be so far reaching or thorough
Neither aid We think they would strike as
prominent people as they did. But the most
impera tive orders were issued 10 go TO the bot
tom Of things and run down the guilty ones
no matter how high they stood. We haze now
cleaned up the slate. so far as We know. and.
though the fight was rot begun for campaign
purposes. II has made the entire West all the
more enthusiastic for the President. The land
frauds would have been run down Just the same
whether there had been campaign on or not.
and whether the result would have hurt or bene-
flied the Presidents candidacy. But all move
ments for the right bound to receive the
Endorsement Of honest thinking people the
world over. this one has redounded greatly to
the Presidents credit. The people Of the West
are for Theodore Roosevelt. and no matter who
is put up by the opposition this fall they are
going to vote for him and elect him to succeed
himself
AS far as the Interior Department is con-
cerned the land cases are wound up. The De-
partment of Justice is now in charge. and. from
the success attained in the preliminary steps. it
looks as though the government was to be trt-
umphantly Nlndicated py securing convictions
IN every important case Some of the richest of
the law violators may escape by jumping their
bail when they see the State prison before them.
but If they do the Golfers Of the government will
be reimbursed 10 some extent by the forfeiture
OF their bonds, and the people will be protected
from their raScality, for they need not fear the
schemes OF eNpatriated criminals. Some people
have found fault with the laws that would per-
init such gigantic frauds those discovered.
but the laws are not TO blame. As long as men
can gain property by forgery. perjury and false
representation, just so long will frauds oCca-
sonally be committed. Tie best can do is to
administer the laws best and visit
punishment with a heavy hand upon the crimi-
nails when they are found out"

PIG IRON CURTAILMENT.
Increased Surplus Causes .Shutdo7cn
of Furnaces.

Developments in the pig iron industry indicate
that there viii be serious depression felt at all the
iron centres in the United States within the next
few weeks. The fact that additional stocks accumu-
lated in May amounting To 10000 tons, which are
be added the already enormous surplus in the
country, has caused the producers TO begin closing
down their furnaces rapidly. and II IS estima ted
that between 30 and 40 per cent Of the plants in
operation the opening of the present month will
be closed by July The Southern furnaces will per
haps be affected nearly much as those OF the
middle West by reason OF the fact that the freight
rates from the South TO the Eastern market are
enough to Offset the cheaper cost at which iron can
be produced in Birmingham
Archer Brown, of Rogers. Blown & Co. estimates
that the curtailment in 1894 will amount to about
100000 tons Taking the average cost Of ton Of
pig iron be about IS. the curtailment Will amount
70 the value OF 100000. As 80 per cent OF the
cost OF producing iron Is expended for labor. the
curtailment means that the wages OF laborers IN
iron centres will be 100000 less this year than
last. and in addition 10 this. they will be called on

ployes are asked 10 accept "A general reduction OF
