Fully 30000 of the coal handlers, longshoremen, rail road freight handlers and dock Lauds are idle in New York and the wharves present a deserted appearance. Busi ness of the steamship lines is partly checked and the strike has a dampen ing influence on commercial interests. Tire name of Senator Cameron is mentioned of late in connection with the presidency in 1838. The weil grounded impression is that Cameron carries the Republican party of the old Keystone in his vest pocket. But as to his presidential candidacy the use of his name may be a trifle too premature. We are a good ways off yet from the national campaign and he may be killed off as a caudidatc be fore we get there. WHEN Queen Victoria opened par liament in the customary style from her throne the other day she delivered her speech to the members and the synopsis of it is that in her opinion "everything is lovely and the goose hangs high." The queen seems to willfully shut her eyes to the threat ening aspects in the countries about her, or else she is woefully misinform ed. The way things look the British lion may at any time be aroused from his seeming indifference. SINCE the appointment in the House of an investigating committee which would demand an adjustment and cor rection of the wrongs committed by the managers of the soldiers' orphan schools it occurs to the republican senate that now would be the proper time to close the schools and in view of that an investigation is considered unnecessary. The closing of the schools is all right as their mission has been completed a few years ago. But we really do not see why that should make the wrongs perpe trated less subject to investigation or the guilty parties less punishable. resolutions ado pted in the U. S. Senate, which empower the Presi dent to rebuff C^ aada ia tLe difficulty for cutting otl A mer ican ves " sels from their harbors, by for^. ldd ' D y Canadian vessels to cruise in Ameri can waters, has had the desired effect in England. Parliament has already had several propositions under consid eration to settle the fishery question amicably, which goes to show that England is troubled about the threat ening tone of the Senate's resolutions. Certain it is that if England does not make efforts to remove the bone of contention the United States govern ment will settle the matter in away that may give Great Britain a little trouble. THE Philadelphia Times in speak ing of the attempt at a revision of the three mills tax law by the present leg islature say 3 : "The organized raid that was to be made on the three-mill tax law affect ing personal property as soon as the Legislature should meet, has not yet succeeded in organizing itself. The trouble seems to be that almost every would-be tax reformer at Harrisburg has his own special scheme for tinker ing with the tax laws and is not oyer willing to see anything else go through if bis plan fails of acceptance. Or ganization under the circumstances is not so easy as it seemed to be from a distance. i On the contrary, the sentiment that real estate has borne more than its share of taxation long enough and that the time has come to relieve it seems to be stronger than ever, The desperation of the advocates of repeal of the three-mill law is shown by their arguing, on the one hand, that the borrower of money pays the tax in the shape of increased interest if not otherwise ; while, on the other hand, they argue in the same breath that the lender is at a disadvantage, be cause money lenders from New \ ork and other States can como in and un derbid him by just the amount of the tax. In this case tho lender virtually pays the tax, not the borrower. Tho would-be repealers will have to do bet ter than this to argue the law off the statu to books. THE Interstate Commerce Bill which passed both Houses and will likely be signed by the President is now a law, and as many other exist ing laws it also has its defects and is in some parts dark to the understand ing of the common public. But as a whole it can be considered as a begin ning to the check which the country ought to put on the unscrupulous bus iness system of the powerful corpora tions. Section 2 prohibits railroads to charge different persons different prices for substantially the same ser vice Section 3 forbids to give cer tain persons,firms or corporations spec ial privileges on railroads. Section 4 provides that railroads dare not make higher frieght charges for transporta tion in small distances than in large distances. Section 5 prohibits com binations for so-called "pooling." Section C provides that within 90 (lavs after the passage of this law all trans portation or freight offices must print and publish their rates. Section 10 fixes the penalty for transgessors of this law at SSOOO. The next eleven sections treat ot the commissioners, I which shall be five in number and who shall be appointed by the Presi dent. The term of the commissioners shall be six years with a salary of $7500. Section 23 appropriates SIOO,- 000 for the enforcement of the law and section 2G demands that the com missioners shall be appointed forth with, but that the provisions of the other sections shall not go iuto effect until sixty days after the passage of the law. WASHINGTON LETTER. (From our regular correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Jan/31, 1557. The toilers on Capitol Ilill confront ed various questions during the past week, some of which were important, while others were not so. Among them were the fisheries trouble with Canada ; women suffrage ,* pension ; the bill es tablishing Agricultural Experiment Stations ,* the bill preventing members of Congress from acting as attorneys for corporations with which Congress has important dealings ; the Pleuro pneumonia bill ; the River and Harbor bill, and several of the other regular appropriation bills. The Women (Suffrage Association, which has just closed its nineteenth an nual convention in this city, saw the Senate remorselessly vote down their proposed suffrage amendment to the Constitution. But sixteen Senators vot ed in favor of the ladies,and that was a great victory for them. Thevthave re peatedly seen both houses of Congress vote against the consideration of the proposed amendment, but this was I lie first time thev ever had a vote on the amendment itself. It looks as if there is really to be a change in the Cabinet soon, and that two of the best officials in the Treasury are to become president and vice-presi dent of the new National Bank in Xew York. I refer to the Secretary of the Treasury and to the U. S. Treasurer, Mr. Jordan. Mr. Manning declines to say anything regarding the matter, but it is generally believed that lie will of fer his resignation to take effect soon after the adjournment of Congress. The contemplated retirement of Treas urer Jordan at that time is openly ac knowledged. There is a clear case for a veto in the drag-net pension bill which has passed the House and the Senate and now goes to the President. It provides that all persons who served three months or - — jn the rpjlitary or naval service of tiip TTn States in any wjr, shall be uension'ed a,* -* he , ™ le of *'* P" *">" if tliey are unab,° '0 earn a support be cause of physical 0:' mental disability. Anything to s|ie,id the surplus appears to be the motto of the Itepiid. leans of both branches of Congress, This ins ure,which was rushed through the ben ate without a roll-call, virtually creates an annex to the Pension Bureau because it offers gratuities to disabled ex-sol diers. without regard to any connec tion between their service in the army and their present disability. The bill would take unknown mill ions out of the Treasury if It became a law, for it also provides at the rate of sl2 per month for the dependent rela tives of soldiers who are not able to pro vide for them. This would be convert ing the Federal Government into an in stitution for dispensing out-door relief, and encouraging shiftlessness among a class that might y.liei wise be self-sup porting. A Busy Week for Congress, WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.— This week promises to be a busy and eventful one in the House. Among the measures that may be pressed are the Randall tariff bill, the fishery retaliation mat ters, Dills for additional cruisers, and the pleuio-pneumonia bill, besides some one or another or' JJje appropriation bills. Tne naval committee wfjj make a determined effort soon to forward tiie interests of the new navy. The con struction of at least four big cruisers, besides sundry gunboats and torpedo boats, will be probably recommended. will Sign the Bill. WASHINGTON, Jan. £l.— The general impression is that the president will sign the interstate commerce bill. At torney-General Garland lias not yet rendered an opinion as bo constitution ality, however, and the president is awaiting this. He lias until next Sat urday to consider the measure. ANNUITIES TO JUDGES. Judges to be Given an Annuity Aftor Certain Yeaia of Judicial Service. HAUKISBURG, Jan. 28.— The follow ing bill providing for annuities to Judges who have given a full term of service in the Supreme Court or twenty years'service in the lower courts and have reached the aje of 65 years is now liefore the Legislature : "An act to provide an honorary com pensation for the Justice of the Su preme Court and the Judges of other courts of this Commonwealth required to be learned in the law. "SECTION 1. Be it enacted, etc., that when any Justice of the Supreme Court of this Commonwealth lias served, or shall hereafter serve, one full term for which he was elected, and when any President JmUe or other Judge ot any court of record of this Commonwealth required to he learned in the law has served, or shall hereafter serve, for a period of twenty years, and such Jus tice or Judge shall have retired from from the judicial service aforesaid, be ing at the time of his letireinent of the age of sixty-live years, he shall annual ly thereafter during his lifetime he en titled to receive from the Common wealth, as an honorary compensation for long and faithful services, a sum equal to three-fourths of the amount of his last year's salary, to he paid in like manner as his salary was payable while in active sei vice."

NEW YORK, Jan. 27.— The annual report of the American Iron and Steel Association just published, states that the total production of pig iron in the United States, in ISB6 was 6,366,688 net tons.
