It seems that the iron men in the North are not entirely satisfied with the tariff bill passed by Congress be cause it don't give them as much pro tection as they demanded, and say that the only way they can keep running is bv' cuttine down the wages of their workmen?

Wiggins promises us the biggest kind of a storm next Friday. , c "Doctor, you hurt me," were the' last words that Alexander H Stephens ut tered. When an: Illinois doctor spells it "pizentbe other doctors think it suffi cient cause for his expulsion from a medical society. It is said that Senator Sherman re cently declined the presidency of a tel egraph company with a salary of $25, 000 a year. An elephant killed a dog in Wash ington a few days ago, and yet there are jome persons who can't see any use for an elephant Since the PenLsylvania iron manu facturers have got the tariff through, they are talking about reducing the pay of their workmen. Colonel Harry Gilmor, the gallant ex-Confederate cavalry leader, died at his residence in Baltimore Sunday from cancer in the face. Grain speculators in this country are anticipating high prices for grain in consequence of the unpromising pros pects of the crop in England. It is reported that an Irish secret so ciety has baan discovered in the North of England numbering 6,000 men, amply provided with funds and revolvers. proi men are now looking for an excuse to reduce the wages of the men they em ploy and the tariff b'.ll affords such ex cuse. But taking it for granted that their complaint is well founded, are Uie iron manufactories to be fdrever dependent upon tariff protection for success, must thA crnvernment bv its bounty forever support them ? They have had the ben efit of a protective tariff for y,ears and to day they ar0 as' clamorpus f or it as they were ten years ago, and as feeble "infants" now, as their piteous wail ing for nourishment would indicate, as they were when first taken unider the fostering care of protective legisla tion. The trouble is they expect to keep up a business and make it profitable re gardless of the laws of demand and supply, and if they glut the market, or the demand for their manufactures from any cause falls off, they , beg for more protection;, ..Practically speaking ther have closed American - ports against the importation of foreign manufactures, and the next thing they will berrying out against -will be the advantages held over them by rival establishments In other sections, which for certain reasons can do a i:profitable business and still undersell them.; This ia what the Southern iron makers are doing and will do to a greater extent bye-and-bye,when they get fairly under way and can control the capital to ena ble them to work on a larger scale. That capital is going to them and the time is not far distant when some of the largest iron mills in this country will be found in the South. THE APPROPRIATION BILLS. The aggregate amount of all the ap propriation bills passed at the last ses sion of Congress is $229,327,511 36, made up as follows: Pension, $86,575,000; Military Academy, $318,657 50; Fortifi cations, $670,000; Consular and Diplo matic, $1,296,755; Navy, $15394.434 23; ATmy, 24,681,350; Postoffice, $44,489,520; -Indian, $5,362,655 91; Legislative, $20,- 464,296 22; Sundry Civil, $23,906,147 47 ; District of Columbia, $1,699,867 23; De ficiency, $2,813,187 80; Agriculture, $405,640; miscellaneous bills involving appropriations of money, $750,000. The aggregate of the appropriations for last year, including $18,738,875 for the River and Harbor bill, was $295,- 509,639; and for the preceding year, in cluding $11,441,300 for River and Har bor bill, $2 19,367,983 38. An analysis of the figures for the past three years shows that the appropriations for the current expenses of the government, irrespective of the amounts for pen sions, aggregate less than either of the two preceding years. The regular pen sion bills for the fiscal years 1882, 1883, and 1884, aggregate $252,575,000, the bill just passed being $20,575,000 in excess of the bill passed two years ago and $13,225,000 less than the bill of last year. Of the Deficiency bill just pas sed only about $500,000 is on account of the current fiscal year. The appropriation bills were based on estimates aggregating $271,394,844. As reported from the House committee on appropriations they aggregated $220,082,753, as passed by the House, $226,420,208 ; as reported by the Senate committee on appropriations, $231,115, 015; aspabsedby the Senate, $230,662, 541; and as finally passed by both houses, after adjustment by conference committees, $229,327,511 36, an increase of $9.24i758 18 over the amounts orig inally recommended by the House com mittee on appropriations. The River and Harbor bill, which passed the House, but failed to become a law, ap propriated $8,047,000. We are under obligations to commis sioner McGehee for a copy of the Hand Book issued by the Department of Ag riculture. A valuable compendium of the resources and industries of the State. Mrs. Haran, mother of the Marchesa Caraletti and aunt of the American beauty of Rome, the Marchesa Feoduli, has recently died. She was born in Kentucky July 0, 1802,butshe had lived in Rome for the last twenty years. Senators Tabor, of Colorado, and Saunders, of Nevada, went around the Senate chamber, during the closing hours of the session, with huge albums under their arms getting the autographs of the Senators. L J Jennings, the London corres pondent of the New York World, writes that emigration from Great Britain to the United States will be greater the ensuing season than it has been any time since the discovery of gold in California. In England, under the new election laws, each party is obliged to file ac counts of its expenses, and if they are unlawful, it vitiates the return, which is triable before a judge of one of the law courts. It would appear that sim ilar enactments might diminish the usefulness of such patriots as the Hon. Jay Abel Hubbell. The influx of Chinese into Mexico in the wake of American enterprises has aroused the fears of the natives, and the press are unanimous in asserting In the strongisl langulgi !tbat if for eigners think they" can buy up tracts of land and import the Chinese barbarians to cnltivate it they most certainly mis take the character of the people oi Mexico. Such operations will lead to bloodshed., Mexicans say that no race of barbarians shall rob them of partici pation in.the fruits of the new era of progress which has dawned upon them. Nevertheless, the insinuating Celestial will no doubt push his way in Mexico as everywhere else where 'he obtains a foothold. The Chinese already have a monopoly of the restaurant and laun dry business in Northern Mexico. When the Texas Legislature passed what is known as the fifty cent act four years ago, speculators seized upon the public domain in almost million-acre block, "so that it would now," says a Texas paper, '.take the eye of a fox and the wing of a wild goose to find any lands not surveyed in Texas." Every alternate section was, however, set aside for school and educational pur poses, so that there are now 307)00,000 acres of school lands left. Louisville Courier-Journal: Among the alleged "infant" industries loom up the Willimantic Linen Company, which paid 95 per cent, upon its capital in 1882. This is a very lusty infant, but it Bays it can't walk yet and must have some "more subsidy." Poor little thing! Only making a profit of 95 per cent., and yet complaining. The new revenue act lessens the amount of internal taxes to an estima ted amount of forty million dollars, but it does not diminish to the extent of a dollar the cost of collecting the remain der. It was a question with the major ity in Congress how to reduce the reve nues while retaining the army for col lecting them, and they have succeeded in solving the problem very neatly. There is a great outcry in the city o New York against the high rents of dwelling houses and flats in apartment houses. The rents of these latter vary from $1,500 to $5,000, according to the number of alleged rooms in the flats. Dwelling houses in fashionable locali ties, near Fifth Avenue, rent, unfur nished, at about $12,000; and furnished, at about $20,000. Offices in eligible business houses fetch about $4 a square foot, and the erection of new buildings appears to increase rather than decrease prices. New Orleans is fast becoming the great grain depot of the country. Ab an evidence of this, a steamer recently left St. Louis for that city with six barges in tow, loaded with 273,000 bushels of grain 52,000 wheat, and 226,000 corn. Since the opening of nav igation 712,000 bushels of grain have been shipped from St. Louis in barges alone. Statistics from New England collec tion districts show that the cost of col lecting each $100 was as follows last year at the places named : Castine, Me., $198; Kennebunk, Me., $445; Saco, Me., $259; York, Me., $823; Barnstable, Mass, $148; Edgartown. Mass, $243; Nantucket, Mass, $671; Bristol, R.I, $152. Noting the tendency in Texas and other Southern States to reduce the size of farms the Memphis Avalanche remarks: "There is more proportionate profit in a small farm than in a large one, but in many sections in the South this subdivision of lands is not practi cable, because there is no immigration and no market for the sale of lands, and with these owners it is the question what shall we do with our large farms? A solution can perhaps be found in raising stock. More grass land, more Bermuda grass, more horses, cows, mules, pigs and sheep, and more fruit trees. There is more profit in this di rection than to raise cotton with hired labor or to sell the lands for a song." An analysis of the final vote on the revenue tariff bill aa reported by the committee of conference shows that of the 152 affirmative votes 17 were Dem ocrats, Greenbackers and the remain-' der Repohlicansvrpt the 118 negative votes 13 irere Republicans, 4 Green- backers and the remainder Democrats. An English paper which: has been studying American; affairs says that when they go to building a railroad in America the first thing done is to break ground.which ts done with a great deal of ceremony, and the next thing is to break the stockholders, which, is done without ceremony. Another pension bill passed by the United .States Senate. It makes the pension for the loss of a hand or foot or an equivalent injury $24 per month. and for the loss of an arm jabovethe elbow or a leg above the knee $30 per month, . On the seventeen year thejoly of high water and cholera, some St Louis peo ple are apprehensive for this Spring, They had cholera in 1849 and 1868, the epidemic in each case being preceded by unusually high water in the Missis sippi. Fleeing from the Rising Waters. Helena, Akk, March 6. Those de pendent upon the Long Lake levee have become alarmed and are moving their stock and goods. The entire bot tom populace are fleeing to the high land, carrying all their valuables with t.hm. The necroes are panic stricken and hurrvinz hither and thither seek- ' ing places of security. The Iron moun tain railroad track and Langville bridge are submerged. Transfers by boat en able trains to continue running. Des perate efforts are being made to main tain the "levees intact. The general opinion now prevails that the flood of last year will be exceeded by water now in sight, which is sure to come. The citizens of Helena consider tne situation critical. The FiUhagh Leree Break. St Louis, March 6. Dispatches from Helena, Ark, say that the breaking of the Fitzhugh levees 5 miles below there will probably not affect Helena, uui should the backwater threaten the place the culvert in the Midland rail road embankment will be closed which will insure safety. About one hundred thousand acres of land will probaoiy be overflowed by the breaking of the Fitzhugh levees. This section was flooded last year and no crops of any consequence were made on it after the water subsided, rne owners oi iue land were generally in debt prior to that time. Exceptions in the Revenue Bill. Washington, March 4. While the provisions of the act "to reduce reve nue" goes into effect generally on and after July 1, 1883, exception ia made in respect of the tariff duties upon sugar, which take effect June 1. and the in ternal revenue provisions i elating to the reduction of the taxes on tobacco, snuff and cigars, and the reduction of the special license taxes, which go into effect May 1, with a provision that all claims for brawback on unDronen pacK aees of tobacco, snuff, cigars and cigar ettes held by manufacturers or dealers at that date, must be presented before July 1. They Don't Like It. Chicago, March 6 Iron masters here, on being interviewed, say that the action of Congress on the tariff bill is more injurious to the iron interests than any legislation within half a ceu turv. and that the only means of keen ing the mills open will be by sweeping reductions in wages, putting them at such a point that the laborers in turn must have cheaper food. Pittsburg iron masters express substantially the same opinions. A Problem for Students of te Common Schools. To the EdlUr ot the Obsai ver : Early in December, 1882,the secretary of Trinity church, in the county of Mecklenburg, handed to A, B C and D each a subscription list for the repair ing of the church, with an appointment to meet at the church on the sixteenth of the month. On comparing the lists at the meeting it was ascertained that the list of A had the smallest subscrip tion, and that B and C had an equal subscription, and that D had the largest subscription. The subscription on A's list was sixteen dollars ana nrty cents, and equal to thirty-three, three hundred and elevenths (33-311) of the whole sub scription, and less than the subscription of B and C forty-three, three hundred and elevenths (43-311). The subscrip tion of D was less than the sum of the subscriptions of B and C twenty-six, three hundred and elevenths (26-311) of the whole subscription. The sum of B and C's subscription was less than the sum of A and D's subscription seven, three hundred and elevenths (7-311) of the whole subscription. A part of the subscription was paid in advance, and it was ascertained that the sum paid was equal to thirty-nine, three hundred and elevenths (39-311) of the whole subscription. The subscription on A's list is civen at sixteen dollars and fifty cents. What is the subscription on B's list? What is the subscription on C's list? What is the subscription on D's list? What is the sum of the subscrip tion on the four lists ? What is the sum paid in advance? Santjs. Charlotte, N. C, March 6. Painters Strike. St. Louis, March 6. About 100 orna mental painters, employed in the Pull man t;ar works, struck this morning. A Chinese youth was placed in the shop by the superintendent to worK prepara tory to a course of study at a school of mines to which he will be sent a year hence. This was fully explained to the men but they objected. Death of Col David Coleman. Raleigh, March 6. Col David Cole man, ot Asnevuie, one or tne mwi prominent lawyers in the State is dead.
