Pig Iren Prices.
The uncertainty ns te the prices wlilch
would rule In the opening months of
thlsvenr, which irevnllei during the
latter part of last year mid which caused
some nervous manufacturers te fenr thnt
there would net he pig iron enough loge
around In 1S0O, Is rapidly dlnpiarlng.
The present outlook premises stcadlncsi
te pig Iren prices for some time at the
figures of te-day. The president of the
Themas Iren company, who has
achieved a reputation fur leading the
market by making early advertlcment
of Ids following It, 1ms announced the
prices at which his company will sell
during the first six months of the year,
and the whole group of pig Iren makers
will hasten te fellow in venturing town
ahead for the year. Te this tlme they
Jhavc been ery unwilling te de this;
a part of their hesitation lelng due te
their Iguenuicc as te hew the railroads
would treat them and what the cost of
their ores and fuel might bc. There has
been an advance In the cost of making
pig Iren which has gene a long way to
wards eating up the additional profit of
the present prices ; and it is supposed
thnt the end is net yet i cached in the
advance in the cost of coke, which
hai taken the lead of nil things In the
nrlee that has been added te It. It Is
expected te rench two dollars at an early
date, which will be deublejtfl cost of net
long age.
The most notable thing in the advance
of pig iron prices has liecii the manner
In which Bessemer pig Iren has climbed
up. It has far outstripped ether grades
of Iren because of thu demand for It In
the steel Industry. The consequence of
this again has lecn an advance In plcel
prices far greater than In Iren. Six
months age steel or iron might often be
had Indifferently nt one price ; but there
are eight or ten dollars n ten between
them new.
It will result from this, of course, that
the productieu of steel manufactures
will be checked nnd these of ireu be
stimulated. The cheapest material will
be me9t In demnnd. This again will
tend te bring about the les-senlng of the
demand for llesscmer pig Iren and bring
it down nearer te its old level of com
parison with pig irelis that will net
make cheap steel. Anether remarkable
thing about the American Iren market
is its comparative steadiness during the
long continued excitement et tneiereign
markets, where prices arc still sailing
upward. The only effect produced here
has been te relieve our market of any
consideration of a foreign supply. We
have te depend upon our own furnaces,
and se fur no ene seems te have sus
pected that they will 1h unequal te the
demand made upon them.
The political effect of this condition
of things should 1 te induce Congress
te let In free the raw mnterinls of the
Iren manufacturer. It Is clear that the
duty collected Is a tax laid upon our con
sumers. The cheajK-'r the production of
pit iron is made the cheaper It can lie
sold. AVltli this help from Congress the
pig iron makers of the country will
never again suffer from the competition
of foreign irons, entered duty fiee,
unless such ns may be of particular
quality, or at seaboard ports distant
from the sites of the home furnaces.
A l'oelish Thing te De.
Iu undertaking te fix a sum which
shall be paid per car by the street car
companies for the privilege they obtain
from the city, we have said that in our
judgment the councils will net very itn itn
prevldeutly; and exceed their prucr
powers. The sum they fix new may be
u very adequate one ; but if se It will
certainly be very Inadequate many
yenrs from new. They nre undertaking
te name uew a tax which shall be pn!d
for all time upon each street railway
car; and he who does net think that is
a silly thing te de has a very different
comprehension of business conduct from
ours. Each citizen's tax is annually
fixed. The councils of this year de
net and cannot lay the tax for next
year. Se we believe that the coun
cils that assume te fix new the tax
upon street cars and poles for all future
tlme will fiud that they have exceeded
their authority ; and that their work
will net be binding upon the councils of
the future. Hut this only makes the
essay mere foolish. Te attempt te de an
unwise tiling, uliI te afterwards find
the attempt abortive, does net relieve lis
authors from opprobrium. If the councils
of te-day desire te favor the cstnhllsh cstnhllsh
meutef electric htreet car propulsion,
we should net complain If they remitted
the car and pole tax altogether during
their term of otlke; what we de object
te is their undertaking te bell nt the
prlca of te-day a privilege which is te
be enjoyed during a long future.
A Great llesoititieii.
It Is reported from the capital of the
United States that President Ilenjamln
Harrison has declared that Mr. MuKee
should held the head of the line nt
receptions "if it busted the cabinet."
The correspondent adds that in his
earnestness the president actually ued
the word ' bunted." This Is a mere
Important item than may at first
appear. A president of the United
States with (.ulllcient backbone te
mangle the Kngllsh language) and
defy a cabinet led by brilliant and
magnetic Premier lilalne und ttauetlfied
by Jehn Wanamaker must Ihj a prod pred
deut with a dlfetluct impict-slnn that he
is one. Captious critics might bUggest
that tills remark, mi gleefully telegraphed
ever the nation, wus merely n manifes
tation of momentary iutellectuul Intoxi
cation, produced en the firotdiiyef the
year by the taking of geed resolution.
However plausible this theory may ceein
ltlsmoie reasonable and charitable te
assume that Ilenjamln Harrison hns
thus deliberately anneunccd,iu language
cheseu for rugged nnd picturesque en
ergy, that he Is determined te be presi
dent, and has begun en the belld car
dinal principle of subjugating the
ubjugaters of hi domineering cabinet.

Asa "mind's eye" could net well be

that this ancient figure of speech
needs revision. Hut it is net
hard meanwhile te Imagine that ilenja
mln Harrison awoke en New Year's

nrNeti iien the first day of the last de
cade of the world's most active century
te fiud one Ilenjamln, of the trlbe of
Harrison, ruler ever the newest
and biggest thing In the way of
nations. Then must have 'followed,
like the choking dregs of a pleasant
draught, the bitter rctlectlen Hint sain

cumstance, ntded and abetted hy ene
Qtinv nnd many dollars. Then, no
doubt, he sprang from his couch, wear
ing the famous hat of his grand
father, which Is firmly nailed
fast te his head, and exclaimed te him
hlnielf and te llaby McKce : " T would
rather Iks president than 1 light, nnd
us I new f-eeni te be neither, I de re
solve te be both 1 " The course of Presi
dent Harrison should new lw closely
watched and his every word carefully
pondered, for great things, may per
chance result from a Saw Year's day
resolve, even If there be no great man
back of them.

This place Is enjoying nn unlque sensa
tion, says a dlsnatch from Sehujlnr, Neb,
County Judge Themas was called te the
residence of a Mr. Peele, whose dnughtur
Nellie was te marry it Mr. Patterson, ene
day last week. When he reached the
house fleerge Peel, a brother of the
bride-elect, told the judge privately
that Miss Helle Werth and himself were
le be wedded after Iho marriage of his
sister nnd Mr. Patterson, and he suggested
that they perjietrate a llttle practical joke
en the guests by reversing the order of the
ceremonies. The gt.epls, in the meantime,
who hnd been told tliat Oisirge and Miss
Werth wero te act us best man and brides
maid respectively for the ether couple,
were greatly surprised when thev came
out as the star actors In the matrimonial
drama. The ether marriage ceremony
nulckly followed, and then came the sensa
tion. Miss Werth, upon being told that she
was new the lawful wile et Mr. Peele, de
clared indignantly thut she had geno
through the performance with Judge
Themas ou the supposition thut this wus
necessary te the proper performance of
her duties us bridesmaid, aud that the
would never be the wife orOeorge Peele.
Mtss Werth U very handsome. She still
remains under the parental reef and her
father, who Is very indignant ever the
affair, says he will tuke steps te have the
marriage annulled. Peele has been going
with MU Werth two or three years.
BOOKS AND AUTHORS.
AYakkke inKine AnTiiun's Cei'icr,
by Mark Twain, Charles I Webster t
Ce., New Yerk. '
Mark Twain's books are either lntensely
funny te thelr readers or tiresome It do de
ponds upon the read or the author varies
little and his last book Is no exception le
the rule
The reader must have n very keen np np np
proclntlenof hlsgetns of humor te wnde
through the dreary ex pauses or thin litera
ture In which he manages te hlde them. One
orihendvcrllsementor"A Ynnkceln King
Arthur's Court" speaks or it ns"nkeeu
and powerful satire en Kngllsh nobility
nnd royalty," but It can hardly be called
tlmt.ns it deals only with the llrllens of Iho
Gth century, or rather with the legondsef
thnt century, and It might as well be called
a satire en Iho French nobility ns the
Knights or the Itnund Tahle were the Ideal
of Hint splendid chivalry which had reached
Its height nt the French court early In the
12th eentnry.
Mark Twain cannot be said te have
maden happy choice. In his subject. The
legends of King Arthur's court nre the
dearest of all our childhood literature, nnd
ns elder children we ponder ever "The
Idyls of the King," nnd enjoy the
music of the peel's verse; nnd his nrt In the
choice or words In which he rcpeaU te us
the old tales, makes them doubly dear te
ns ; and ene doubts IT any ene likes te
have leeollecllens of this kind touched by
a course hand, much less inade morely
n subject of ridicule. Hut, putting
all sfutlmeuts te ene slde, It Is
always u questionable lastu that satirises
sicred subjects even If they nre considered
simply legendary. Mark Twain's humor
Is often cearse and his language Inelcgant,
and his Inst book Is net free from theso
faults, wlille It Is open te the criticism of
being made up of old material. Thohumet
lu it was all given several years jige in n
lecture dollvcred by thn author before the
Military Korvlce Institution and fully ro re ro
pertedln the New Yerk papeis of that dale.
The Idea or the visit or n Connecticut
Ynukee te n court or the days or chivalry
was humorous enough le sero Ter a lec
ture or short story, but the ellbrt te make a
book or It is an Imposition en the reading
public. He much Ter censure, and rorpralse
it inny be said lhat there nre soveral very
funny things In the book.
The Yankee has been n capable foreman
hi a large Hartferd factory nnd Is n fair
specimen of the shrewd mechanical mi
polished genius se aggresslve und success
ful In this age of invention nnd land of
progress. In a quarrel this man Is laid out
with n crowbar, and en coming te his
senses duds a knight In armor standing
ever him. The surprise or the Yankee, and
his roefings as he gradually realizes that
he lias goue back many centuries, nre well
described. There is n geed deal r strong
philosophy nnd n bracing democratic spirit
In the character of the Ynukee.
In the following extract Mark gives a
hint or the miseries of a professional hu
morist : The Ynukee sat In the king's "pri "pri
vnte be" nt n tournament when Hlr l)ln
ndan, who was waiting his turn te enter
the lists, catne hi and began te talk." 1 had
always responded le his efforts ns well ns
I could, nnd felt n very doepnnd real kind
ness for him, tee, for the reason thnt If by
niallcoeffuto he knew the ene particular
unocdeto w hlch I had heard orlenost and
had most hated and most loathed all my
life, he had at least spared It me. It was
ene which 1 hed heard attributed te every
humorous person who had ever steed en
American soil. It wus about n humorous
lecturer who Heeded an Ignorant iiudience
with the kllllngcit Jokes for an hour und
never get a laugh ; und then whoa he was
leaving, somegray shnplolens wrung him
by the hand and sild It had been the
runniest thing they had ever heard,
and It was all they could de te
keep from luughln' right out In nieelln'.
That anecdote uover saw the day that It
was worth thu telling; and yet I had sat
under the telling or It hundreds nnd thou
sands mid millions und billion of tluies,
mid cried and cursed all the way through.
Then who can hope te knew what my
feelings wcre, te hear this armor-plated ass
start In en It again, iu the murky tw ilight
of tradition, before the dawn of history,
whtle evon Lactuutlus might be rcrerred te
as "the late Lnctcntlus," and the Crusades
wouldn't be bem for (Ue hundred years
yet? Just as he finished, the call-hey
catne; se, haw-haw lug like u demon, he
went rattling and clanking out like a eiate
of loose, castings, nnd I knew nothing
mere, it was seme minutes before I catne
te, and then 1 opened my oyes Just in tlme
te see, Sir Oai'cth fetch him an awful welt
and I unconsciously out with the prayer,
"1 hope lograeleusho'skllledV" Hut by 111
luck, before I had get hair tlneugh with
the words, Sir Oiurcth clashed into .Sir
Sagraniorle Desli eus and sent htm thun
dering ever his herse's erupper, and .Sir
Sagramer caught my remark and thought
1 meant It for him." The result was a
ehallouge te mortal combat when Sir
Sagraiuer should return freui threo years
or Hely ('.lulling.

Accounts With Jeker.
Frem the Whlni ten Pet,
If n prominent physician ever In the
northwest hasn't get even with one practi
cal Jeker then It doesn't lie in the telling.
The physician lives In a very modern es
tablishment. Net only is there a special
night-bell, but a speaking tube counects
the doorstep with the head or Ids bed.
The practical Jeker has had Am with this,
He has been coining along nbeiit 1:30 a. in.
and standing en the oppesllo corner mid
laughing until his sides nched thinking
hew funny be was and what n geed tlme he
was having. Then he would cress ever
and ring the night bell nnd howl up the
speaking tube as if a whole regiment or
mothers-in-law en the next block had ten
minute cholera and wcre dying by the
wagon lead, And the peer, tired doctor
would reu se out of his first sweet sleep
and "helle" down the tube Then the
funny man would say;
" I)oes Dr. J llve hore? "
" Yes."
"Have you lived hore long?"
"Fer twenty years. Whoureyou? What
the blazes de you wnnt T"
"Jest want te kriew why you don't meve.
That's all. Ta! till"
And then the funny man bounces down
Inte the street and soeots home, where he
laughs for half nn hour straight.
He didn't laugh half se much the ether
night. The doctor was leaded for him. He
knew that laugh and that yell, nnd he
stuck a funnel In the lube and poured In
two quarts of nqua rertls. Str.tre.d's Indeli
ble Ink, liquid lye, and n few chemical
Whiffs of torment. It gurgled nnd gurgled
for one second then struck Defunny In the

other howl. It came, with a thirty feet fall
und a ten pound pressure te the square
Inch, lie swallowed a pint before he could
f;ethls mouth shut, and the Impromptu
icse played nwny nit ever his face and silk
hat and shirt front, nnd dress suit. It was
a reef-raiser, nnd curled him Ilke a cock

It will cost the doctor $10 for plumbing,
but he grins every tttne he thinks of It.

With the eloe of trio old year It Is vir
tually the clesa of the busy season In
Clothing, Hats, Furnishing Goods, Dry
Goods, Ladles' Coats, Beets and Shoes
and Infants' Coats. At this season of
the year there are nnd there must be
tempting bargains te nttract buyers.
In fact this Is preeminently the harvest
of the present buyer, -ns nil classes of
merchants are nllve te the fact that te
carry stock ever from one season te
another Is a positive less. Therefore the
live men cut down their price without
regard te profit. This seaseu nre have
made reductions that will probably ex.
eel anything of the kind ever offered In
Lancaster. Tlie word has gene forth te
make unsparing reductions In Dress
Goods, Huts, Caps, Furs, Gentlemen's
and Bey's Hulls and Overcoats, Ladlei'
Coats, Children's Bulls nnd Overcoats,
Heets and Hhees, Notions, Underwear,
Neckwear, Cardigans nnd Hosiery. It
would be difficult te say where the larg
est cut downs are made, as everywhere,
all ever the house, there are large quan
tities of goods at heavily reduced prices.
They are fresh new goods that sold read
ily before Xmas at prices much abeve
their present mark. Never lu the exist
ence of our business experience was
there such an opportunity for the pur
chase of Gentlemen's and Bey's Suits
and Overcoats, Ladles' Coats, Dress
Goods, Ilats, Caps, ladles' Furs, Beets
and Shoes, Waterproof Clothing,
Trunks, Valises and Satchels at a lower
than, will be presented at this our un
sparing reduction effer: As goods dis
appear ethers will b carefully sifted
ever, thus bringing a continual stream
of fresh goods te the unsparing reduc
tion counters, amongst which you are
buroteflnd some nttractlie chance for
a Judicious Investment. There are
some goods that are STANDAIlDS, and
arc new marked at such low figures that
It would be Impossible te reduce their
prices. But these nre ceinparatlvely.few
In regard te the quality of goods that
have received such an unsparing reduc
tion that the figures left upon some of
them de net much mere thnu represent
the cost of the material used In their
manufacture.
In order te secure a choice selection, It
will be wise te eome early.
