Mr. Morrison drops ero from lils free Mat because tlie manufacturers' say tliey de net wank It ; and na frce ere la le benefit them, If anybody, there seems te be no particular occasion for the chair man of the ways nnd means committee troubling himself te bestow a benefit upon men who pretend they de net want It. It is either pretense or felly In the majority of Iren manufacturers te reject free ere, which would clearly benefit all who de net own their mines. These who make their pig Iren out of their own ores make a profit out of their ores which they cannot make out of their manufac ture ; but why theso who have te buy their ores de net want te Ret them as cheap as is possible, is a geed deal or a mystery te the ordinary apprehension. The owners of the great Cornwall deposit in our neighboring county of Lebanon have a commanding advantage ever their fellow manufac turers, which they are doing their best te improve by erecting new furnaces of the largest capaelty. It is one which they will always retain while their de posit of prime ere remains unexhausted. The protection they have In the cost of transportation of foreigu ores will always sufilce for them, and it can hard ly be a matter of great interest whether or no feielgn ores are imported free of duty. Theso makers of pig iron who de net have these advantages can only b3 opposed te free ores through the upprehoiislen that free ere Is a step towards free iron. And this is, in truth, the reason why the Iren manu facturers who have appeared befere the wayB and meaus committee reject the bone it offered them. They are opposed te frce Importations of anything, or a reduction of duty en any tiling, through their fear that the movement towards free trade will progress until itengulphs them. It Is silly in them te reject the present geed of free ere, through such an apprehension. It shows that they feel the weakness of their cause. The iron ero, pig Iren, bar iron and sled men combine together te resist a tariff reduction en any of the things in which any one of them is interested be cause each industry is atcild te stand alone. Nene of them have like interests, and each should stand en its own bottom. The iron men de themselves Injury by helping the steel men, who have built up their business at the cost of the iron industry : and betii are foolish te stand by the oie producers, who bleed tliem freely of their profits. Free ero will be geed for the manufac turing interest, nnd it ought te reach out for it zealously, instead of rejecting It. p Uctlcr Take the Meney. An old question in new form comes up in Philadelphia lu the controversy excited In Presbyterian circles ever the acceptance of $2,700, tendered te the Presbyterian hospital from the treasurer of the charity ball fund. Revs. Drs. Mcintosh, Mutchmore and ether church leaders vigorously pretest agu'nst the accoptnnceof any money raised by enter tainments of such a character, and while they "disclaim any iuteutlen of reflect ing upon the management or respecta bility of the ball SUeie "which In one e the most respectable and elegant affairs of its kind held In the city they maintain that it would be improper and inconsistent for even a hespl al of their church te be aided and supported with money raised by u " flddle and dance party." Against this view there is vigorous opposition net only from theso who held that a hospital Is a differ ent work from strictly evangelical oper ations, and from these who Insist that the charity ball is net an unchristian way te raise money, but from Eeme who go se far us te say that they would accept the proceeds of the gaming table or whisky Belling te support their hospital. One can easily held that the Icauied divines who would ,ect the offering of the chanty ball managers are extremists and radicals without -affirming the doctrine of justification of evil that geed may ceme. If this money is te be refused, it will be diflicult, most likely, for the managers te accept any future contributions consistently with out making rigorous inquiry into the wayB by which the donor has acquired it. It will net d) for them te clee their eyes while they reach out their hands for it. A great many rich men who give te worthy charities have obtained their means by devious ways ; some of them seek te oendouo their sins by endowing worthy objects of their munlflcence, and some te make a new reputation which will outlast the old ; in some cases It Is very plain that churches should net make themselves receivers of stolen goods, but It will Btrlke the average mind that the Philadelphia Presbyte rlanB are drawing very line distinctions, and if tliey keep It up their hospital will seen go begging. A Njsw Yekk correspondent says that Mr.Cenkllng has twice told him that he was the author of the electoral ceinmis Blen scheme of 1877. This adds no lus tre te his career us a publle man. Mr. Cenkllngbad the Rreatest opportunity that has ever come te a congressman in these later political days when he could have made the speech and cast Uie vote that he contemplated against counting the Louisiana vote for Hayes. Just what deterred him from taking the step he hud resolved upon has never been made man I feat, but it is quite well established that he .bad resolved upon it, that he would have carried a large portion of his party with him and could have commanded for himselfja degree of popular respect nud confldence that no actwf Ids public rec erd ever wen for him. The fatalism that defeated the Democracy at every Btage of that memorable electoral struggle Beems te have Interposed In this matter; Prof. Seelye and Henry L. Pierce were theenlyUepubllcans who hud the cour ceur ffe te pretest against the iniquity, and Mag In the IIouse, their opposition was Inetfeetivu; but in the Senate Mr. Cenklins'a pretest would have com manded Vetes as well as nttuntleiu He missed hi&cbance forever. aud his day passed A nKreiiTBi interview with Mr. Ilandal), printed in our columns te-day, represents him as having determined te' place himself lu a position of hostility te the majority of his party In the Heuse1 en the tariff measure, and ether reports represent him as organizing a company of a half hundred Democratic members te Jein ferces with the ltepubllcans In antagonizing the Morrison bill nud obstructing It with parliamentary tactics. It Is only fair te Mr. Randall te say that this morning's dispatches j from Washington report these alleged . interviews te be bogus and unauthorized specimens of that peculiar news which it is sought te copyright. Mr. Randall ij truthfully represented as attending te his own proper business of the appre priatiens committee, and as fas as Its bills nte considered and agreed upon they will be reported no mere slowly nor rapidly than it the chairman of the appropriations committee was In favor of the Morrison tariff bill. In' Western Pennsylvania a gen. it mau, whose name was conspicuously men tioned for the nomination te the local Judgeship, has withdrawn from the can vass because, lie sas, it ".should he con ducted in n fair and honorable manner, in keeping with the high character of the office," and as his district i3 having, instead of tills, " a canvasi of braggn declaaud lies, threats and misrepreseii tatlen," he Is net willing te engage himself lu it.
