CextRE HALL, PA, THURS, MAR, 22 WHY IS IRON ORE TAXED ? It is easily understood why some sections of the country insist upon a tariff tax upon iron ore, but it is in- comprehensible how any Representa~ tive of Pennsylvania, and especially Kastern Pennsylvania, can favor such a tax. It is today a most oppressive tax upon every iron producing estab- lishment in Eastern Pennsylvania, and the time is near at hand when our great iron works must be closed up ab- solutely unless free iron ore shall be given to them. It seems probable that a tax will be placed upon iron ore in the new tariff chiefly because the Alabama Senators demand it, and the reasons which make the Alabama Senators insist up- on such a tax should make our Penn- sylvania Senators resolutely fight and vote against it. Alabama is battling not for protection against foreign iron, but for special protection in competi- tion with the iron of our Pennsylva- nia furnaces. While iron ore shall be taxed Alabama iron can be sold in Philadeldhia and other points in the East for less than it can be produced by our own furnaces, and the whole battle is a conflict between the cheap- er iron of the South and the iron of the North. If iron could be made in Pennsylva- nia without foreign ores there would be some reason for taxing the foreign commodity, but when we state that the largest and most successful iron es- tablishment at Reading use 80 per cent. of imported ore when located in the very heart of the ore-producing section of Pennsylvania, the necessity for free iron ore may be understood. The foreign ore is used first because it is a necessity to make a good quality of iron, and second because it produc- ed 60 per cent. of iron as against 40 per cent. from the Pennsylvania ores. Making iron ore free, therefore, will not diminish the use of our domestic ore in Pennsylvania in any degree, while continued tax on iron ore must speedily abolish our furnaces, and thus greatly lesson the production of our home mines. ea ——— Tae Ph non-partizan judiciary.

On the evening of the last election, three citizens McKeesport came to their polling place and demanded to be let in after the polls were closed, that they might see the count. When they were refus- ed they broke open the door, and were of interfering with an election. The properly instructed that these men were acting within their right as citi- zens to be present, outside the guard rail, and in sight and bearing of the election officers while the ballots were being counted. This right is clearly conveyed in the law, and should be exercised wherever there is any reason to believe that it will add a final safe guard to the honesty of the election. A free, fair and secret ballot is an emp- ty phrase without an honest count at the end of it. There is another provision of the law which is even less generally ob- gerved. It is not only the right of a qualified voter, but it is the prescribed duty of “the police officers, constables and deputy constables now required by law to be present at the polls, to re- main within the voting room, but out- side the guard rail, while the votes are being connted, and to preserve order therein.” Election officers should ae- quaint themselves with such details as . these, that no virtue of the law may lose its effect, Tux Penn's rr. comp . has sent out a special train with two physicians, who are to go over the whole line to Chicago and vaceinate at each station all the switchmen, statioomen, gate keepers and other employes, 4% Right ; bul we would suggest it keep n on the ron nate with Tre home candidates, so far, for De- moeratic favors, are, Aaron Williams for congress ; Cal. Meyer, for senator ; for judge, C. M. Bower, In occasional groups we hear preferences for the fol- lowing for president judge: D. F, Fort- ney, J. L. Spangler, and Ellis Orvis. We do not think that any of these honored names encourage their friends in this connection, yet, Judge Spang- ler wouldn't sound bad ; Judge Fort- ney would sound smooth, and Judge Orvis would have a familiar and pop- ular ring about it. With a clean, able and unexceptionable man fhe Demo- erats have a winning chance ; but nei- ther party can get thro with a third rate lawyer for this lofty position, which requires purity, integrity and legal acumen in the one to be clothed with the judicial ermine. EE A fl THE counties in Pennsylvania with no debt are Bradford, Butler, Centre, Clarion, Erie, Franklin, Greene, Law- rence, Lehigh, Luzerne, Northumber- land, Pike, Sullivan, Susquehanna, Venango, Washington and Wyoming. If Centre keeps electing good com- missioners, our county will keep out of debt. emma nem THERE has been a promising start on the pension reform. The greatest source of extravagance and fraud in the entire federal system has been boldly and honestly attacked. The Pension Appropriation bill reported to the House is nearly $15,000,000 less than the amount appropriated for the cur- rent fiscal year. This is a record of which the Demo- cratic party has a right to be proud, despite the shortcomings and wrong going in other directions. mee IT is a good thing to have auditors who audit without fear. The auditors of Tioga county have discovered that the commissioners there visited the World's Fair last year at the expense of the county on the pretext of going to Chicago to look at the plans of steel cages needed in the Tioga county jail. This is just as bad as tho they had re- paired pikes for private companies at public expense. ————— GEN.
