Ilm'iilly one of the large Clevolauil
(ICnglainl; iron llrms sent to title conn-
try nil agent to investigate the fatties
of the fulling off of the denmiitl for
British pig Iron and Iron |>l|ns, ami at
the list meeting of the Mlildtndiuiough
Chamber of I’lmmieree the report of
tlv.s agent was read. It. brought very
kail news to IlngllNli |>lp<> makers. Tlw
letter wag dated at Birmingham, Ala.,
and told the story of how pig Iron v.vis
niado there at 60 a tou, add at the
tvorka at ?(I.I0 to $7.1.1. nail Iron pipe,
up to sixty Inches lu diameter, "not so
Well IlllMlcil as Kngllsh pipes, tut
garni enough," sold at Sls.70 a ton, pig
and pipes bath tlmliug tin Ir way all
over till) Hulled Hiatus, oveu into Pitts
burg.
It Is reported that the story told In
this letter was disbelieved tiy many
of the Cleveland Iron makers, but ;hey
will lie forced to accept It as trite by
their experience in the markets. Thu
bard times of the last four or 11 voyeur*
have really done more for th.' Iron In
terests of Alabama than nil the years
wbleh went before. They have com
pelled economics that showed for ilio
flrst time Uio extremely low price at
which Alabama Iron could be produoed.
Ten yearn ago a statement made by
one of Hie Western p,i|n‘rs, the Ig>u',a-
villa Courier^ouruol, ave billorc, that
pig Iron could ho produced In Alnhanm
at $8 per ton, was ridiculed. It wna
denied even In Alabama, whose Interest
lay in creating the imprcoslou that
Iron could tie produced thcro cheaper
than anywhere else In tho world, lint
beenuao of tho economics which finril
tlrnni tmvo irniRe necessary,' pig Iron
Is produeiit, m>t merely for $H, Imt, ea
the report now says, at $0. In tho
light of theso facts, tho claim of Birm
ingham to lie ntile to produce Iran
cheaper than It onn tje produced eho-
whero can no longer be disputed. It
Is not the Cleveland Iron of Mnglnud
which la rhmptwt, but the Birmingham
Iron of Alabama. It In not at all !m-
probable that this Birmingham Iron
before long may IIml a profitable umr-
ket hi Kuglnnd Itself, And yet the
McKiuley Idll protected lion to the ex-
toot of $u a ton.

fldcuoe is probably, and with, that re*-
toration will come n revival of husl-
Dess, more or less active. Rut If tho

that In spite of iirgo exports of ng-v

money from us Uio.
WHY NOT Ct.ll' THE ROLI-AU ?
The New York Sun make* a good
point when It aatu the free coinage
men who favor the Id to 1 ratio why
U Is that they do not atk that the gold
dollar be cut in two Instead uf demand*
log that 50 cents' worth of silver be
coined Into a deHsr. Prrcedeut favor*
the suggestion made by the Sun. In
the *30n, wheu the ratio between the
two metale was readjnsted, the gold
dollar was made lighter. Why not
make It lighter again, Instead of try
ing to make 50 cents' worth of silver
worth |17
There are certain objections to cut
ting tho gold dollar lu two, of course.
The first of these Is that if n were done
nobody could possibly iiiliundcratand
the action of the govcrunu-ui. Every
body would know that it hail deliber
ately confiscated half the property In
the form of debt. It is tree that this
would also be the effect of coining 50
cents' worth of silver Into a legal ten
dor dollar, Imt the process la hardly
so plain s■ It would ho ,f the gold dol
lar, were merely cut in two. Possibly
this. Is tins reason why the free calm go

The mart who contributes somethin;:
new to human thought Is a rare min.
Most men content themselves with
thinking ever what others have thought
out before them. They simply thresh
over the old stmw and for the most
part they get only a fe-.v grains of
wheat at Unit. The forest number
of men make much elfort to find out
what Uip jrorld has ..linen thinking
about these thousand* • years. This
ought not to he no In Unite days of
cheap lKmki and magazine* anil pa

world lias had on any subject can now
bo had for 50 cents, -Men can grow
stronger intellectually only ns they di
gest and asslmlhtn strong and whole,
some Intellectual food. A ro,v men be
come the leaders of their folio,vs *4in-
ply because they make themselves
masters of ideas that dominate the
lives of their fellows. If they use Ihelr
leadership for placing and holding
themselves lu office they become f Im
ply political bosses, ami their tenure of
office wilt bo Just ns long as they can
fool n, majority of tho people. If their
leadership has for its object tho fos
tering amt spreading of those 'den*
which will elevate the race and .he
suppression of those things which hnvo
proven liurmful to men, they will rise
above the self-seeking political truss
nhd become tho statesmen. The po
litical ttoss lias never yet add.il nuy-
thing now to the sclenco of govern
ment. IIo makes no study of anyth,ng
that does not touch his personal Inter
est. He makes hlmoclf familial' with
the Jugglery of his political craft
and Is an adept In the dark art of dick
ering and trading In political spoils.
A real loader of men lias ouo su
premo motive. Ills ambition docs not
lead him to nook bts own. Uls studies
direct him to tho Investigation of that
form of government which will last
promote all tho Interests of all the
governed. If he Is honest, his honesty
will impress itself an the people, if
lie is i»irnoat nnd Inlclllgout, Ills sent

tho amelioration and u.lvnuccntout of
the people, In every discussion of
public quiutlous his solo ulm Is, to as
certain tho truth and lie will never
sacrifice the eljltus of tho truth to win
a personal advantage of any kind.
Such a man will add something to the
store of human knowledge. He will
enlarge the science of lium.ui govern
ment. Treed from tho thirst of polit
ical power and ilio chilling blight that
It* greed puts upon the humau intel
lect, unshackled by the more cruel
slavery uuy miserly pelf tluit would

HILL’S GAME TIGHT.
Speculation In regit.l to the result of
tho election In Now Yorx is not, In our
oplnlou, worth muca nt this stage of
the proceedings. So many elements of
uncertainty enter lut> the contest that
no man can any wlct nuy degree of
certainty wheth..' Senator Hill will bo
elected or defeated. MV ihluk, how
ever, that hi* ehaucjs of success are
growing. He Is making a maguidient
campaign, aud Is .Inwuig to his sup.
port dements which have heretofore
constantly oppos.il him. There has
been an eltort to make It appear that
Mr. Cleveland :s trying to defeat H'U,
but we have the Utter * ward for «t
that he has tho oord. tl support of the
president's friend* In New Yolk, nnd
there ts no evidence to the coultary,
except Mr. Cleveland'' refusal to take
en active part tn the campaign, in
thia connectKm It may be reasonably
asked in whst state cnuipa'gn did a
president of the United Ktatct ever
take na active part?

The cse of spruce forests for making

periodicals, to well known, and repre
sents nn Industry that will be limited
only by the supply of wood. Already
great inroads have been made upon
the spruce forests, eo that without
systematic cultivation of them the raw
material for this cheap paper will
soon give out. In Germany, where the
wood pulp Is also made ln largo quan
tities. the forester’s art Is better un
derstood than ln this country and the
cultivation of spruce forests Is carried
on so carefully that (he supply is al
ways equal (o the demand. Instead or
destroying the spruce there, (hey sim

large, matured trees While the young
saplings are allowed ( remain for fut-
ure use. ^ .

DR. HOLMES AND THE PRINTERS.
From the Boston Herald.
Mr. Henry O. Houghton of Houghton,
Miflln & Co., who hns enjoyed warm so
cial and business relation? with Dr
Holmes for many yairs, was seen nt ms
home in Cambridge last evening. He
said:
"Hl3 copy was always written on com
mon white letter paper In a very clear
hand and most carefully prepared, with
very few Interlineations, and these were
only put ln after the greatest delibera
tion. He used to bring his copy to the
Office himself, and would come after-
ward and Ket tlw proof*, which too moat
carefully and palnetaklngly corrected,
frequently miking additional charges
ond corrections therein when a lino of
cold type did not exactly suit him.
"Our firm did not print the 'Atlantic’
thaie days: we only stereotyped the
plates, but. nevertheless, we were
brought in contact with the young poet
frequently. In fact, he win tn the office
every few days. He wna a man of
small etarturc. erect In carriage, and
with a quick, nervous gait, conveying
many times *ho erroneous tmpesslon
that he yas a vain man. No man. how
ever. was less pretentious than Dr.
Holmes.
"Ho wtto very particular about hla

Army Officer? Not Successes as Indian
Agents.
Washington, Oct. 15.—The war de
partment having bemnrf satisfied that
ths policy of charging army officers
with Che duty of Indian agenta has
worked to the detriment of the service
Is relieving the offioers already detailed
for this work us fast as the Indian bu
reau lo able to furnish civilian agents
to fill (he place. The objections to the.
plan are: First, that It tends to make
the army unpopular If en officer is
xealous In protecting the Interests of
the government and of the Indians
and, second; that it, to a bod practice
to separate an officer from his com
mand for a long term and Impose upon
him duties foreign to proper military
service. So several of these officers
have recently been relieved from duty
at the Indian agencies and have been
sent back to (heir regiments. The most
recent caso Is Rut of First Lieut.
•Maury Nlohoto of the Seventh Infantry,
who has Just been relieved from) his
agency at the Kiowa agency In Okla

which has passed between Dr. Thomas

Edmund F. V. Knox, the anti-Par-

with Dr. Knox that a, portion of the

nated by Healey. He adds that tho
Information which he has given in
London respecting Irish affairs will be
reported to the trustees of tho federa

their notion, there Is no question that
the time is near when the Irish sympa
thizers in America, who nre looked to
