STEEL RAILS.
Heavy FslIfn the Price-NiIIs shutting
Down.

ST.. LOUIS, November 20.-In an interview
published this afternoon by the Pot. Dispatch,
Ethsn A. Hitchcock, president of the ST.
Louis Ore and Steel Company, intimates
thst the Vulcan Steel Works, OF that COM
pany, here, will probably close down on the
let OF December, and remain closed all next
year.
Mr.. Hitchcock gave The following interest
ing inform alton respecting the steel rail in
terest of the country. He said the price OF
steel rails has fallen off twenty-five per cent.
1t was $50 per ton; it is now S45. When
rails were worth $50 pig iron was sold from
SIS so TO S26 per ton. Tie iron men now
want S24. Take twenty live per cent. off Ct
S26, and it will lesve $40 CO. That is what
we sought to get pig iron for. have offered
these men $40 per ton, but they will not lake
it. 1t is altogether idle to talk about keep
ing The Vulcan al work unless we get pig
iron for $40. The price OF steel rails has
fallen because the production has been too
great. The estimated capacity OF the steel
mills in the United States is now 2l50.000
tons. sgainst 100000 tons for 1881. Now,
the dem and, as close as | can get at il, for
next year will be about 100000 ions.
Call it fifty per cent. of the steel,
mill capacity. That shows it will
work foil time under the most favorable cir
cumstances, but as far as consupmaiiou is
concerned 1t is very difficult to figure 1
don't believe the railroads themselves know
what they will want until after they have
seen their annual bslance-sheets. At its
best, there will be little new road building.
There will be no trunk lines built into Texas
or Mexico; there will be no "nickel pl ate" laid
East or West. We will have to depend on
reconstruction and repair of roads already
built. There will be good deal of this
done, but not enough 10 take more than fifty
per cent. OF the present capacity OF the steel
rail mills. / don't believe Congress will
make any material change in the tariff. The
duty on metals may be lowered; that is e1-
pected, believe, but the condition of the
trade in this country is such that the duty
on iron cuts very little figure one way or the
other. II BY the 1st of December, at which
time our present contracts will be worked
out, we cannot procure labor and material
ct rates which will enable us to meet the re-
duction in the price of steel rails, We will
close our works. If we do close, 5000 men
will be thrown out OF employment, and a pay
roll OF $780, 900 per month be stopped. For
our mems sake, we would gladly continue
work, but we cannot run our mills at posi-
tive financial loss.o

oLEonARaAKINE CHEESE.

OleomaFgsrine has a big name, taking up
large portion Of the alphabet, and it has
obtained great fame for the insidious m amer
in which il reaches the tables often of the
most fastidious. Its functions are spreading
and its sphere OF operation widening, for
now, in addition to oleomargarine butter, we
are 10 have oleomargarine cheese. Great is
Diana of The Ephesians, and wonderful are
the couques,s Of oleomargafine. Cheese
is now extensively made by the factory sys-
tenn, and by little skillGul management the
factories have contrived to turn out cheese
from milk the cream OF which had previ-
ously been used TO make butter, which was
neat way OF making two profits out of
one milking. There was an absence OF
taste and presence of leathery toughness
about this production that made the public
cease purchasing it, so the oleomargarine
cheese has been invented and patented TO
do away with the objection. The new plan
is 10 put oil into the skinned milk which il
done by The aid OF simple machine. A
cylinder is placed vertically so that another
can rotate at rapid speed within it. A vat
of skinned milk and another of oil, both
articles heated up to 1852 degrees,
supply the cylinder with their con-
tents at the rate of two parts OF milk to
one OF oil. The cylinders rotate as rapidly
as if struck with fury, and the Ingredients
are poured out mass of rich, frotby, golden
cream, which takes the place of that which
has been churned into butter, and the milk
is then made into delicious oleomargsrine

A REPUBLICAN PAPER
Declares the Negro 20 be mo GOOd,' Un-
reliable and Without Gratitude.
Southern (Ky.l Progress.


To our mind il appears that the time has
come when the negro should be an independ-
emit factor in politics. From the day he be-
came a citizen until now the Republican
party has naturally claimed the suffrage OF
Inc freedmen as It's own That party gave
the negro ali the rights he possesses to-day;
il took him from bondage and made him
free; it gave him equal protection under
the law; it gave 10 him the right OF suffrage,
and endowed him with citizenship; ii has
elected him 10 office; chosen him as dele
gate to the party conventions; put him on
committees and made him chairman; IL hiss
battled for equal educational facilities for
his children, and 10 a word has carried him
through all the vicis=itudes of his changed
condition until now; Whist could be more
natural than that The Republican party
should claim the support of the negro in
maintaining 1t in power. But, notwithstand-
ing the sacrifices made by the party in bis
behalf, the negro has been found utterly uu-
reliable when called upon 10 asset il; he
has been weighed in the politic.l balance
and found to be very unstable Qusntily.
That the negro has been a burden and him

LEWIS AND CHRIsrIANs,

The Rev. DIR. Sonneschein is one of the
most able and learned IsraelHes in this
country, admired by Jews and Gentiles Tor
his talents and revered for the purity and
virtues OF his character. He recently preached
a sermon upon the question, "How Does the
Modern Jew Treat His Christian Neighbor ?''
in which he expressed sentiments of wide
and noble charity that shows how far a good
Jew is beyond the prejudiced, narrow, I'M
charitable, unehristian Christian. 1t was a
sermon that shows how often what was laid
to the charge of the obstinate "Jew" was
really the crime, for crime il was, of the un-
christian-like Christian. He said that for
centuries the Jew had no opportunity Of
obeying the Scriptural command, "Love
thy neighbor as myself" He had no neigh
Dor, only enemies and oppressors. No one
cared to understand him, false accusations
were brought against him, and as in case of
Misunderstanding between relatives and
neighbors, everything concerning him was
misconstrued, and the longer misund erstand-
ings existed the more difficult were they to
settle. In ancient times the Jews were taught
to love their neighbors as themselves, and
that they had no love for the Christians who
uniustly prosecuted them was no fault OF
theirs. Fanaticism led the Christian TO
think it duty to punish the Jews for cruel
Tying Christ. They forgot, says the great
hearted DR.. Sonneschein, that the great
Nazarene when dying said: "Father, forgive
them, Tor they know not what they do" In
the dark ages Christians were taught to de-
sPise the Jew, "while," says this pious
teacher OF the Jews, "the great Nara
rene commanded His followers to love
Their neighbors as themselves, the utteranee

THE COMING ECLIPSE.
American Scientists who Would Like
20 Get 10 The Pacific ocean.

New YORK, November 20.-The National
Academy OF Scientists met Thursday morn
ing in the Classic room at Columbia Col
lege. The papers read were OF more Than
average interest. Among ihem was one
by Prof. c. A. Young, OF Princeton College,
on the importance of "The Total Solar
Eclipse of May 6, 1888" He said the i'm
portant questions which can be solved in the
eclipse are those of atmosphere, the spectrum
Of the chromosphere, the nature of the outer
violet portion of the spectrum, the polariz T.
ton OF The corona, the relation between the
zodiacal light and the corons, the question
of the existence of an intra- nercurial planet
The path of the coming eclipse makes
il exceedingly difficult TO get at. The
time OF the eclipse is very impor-
tant, because it comes at time
when there will be a great deal OF collar Fpot
activity. The duration of the eclipse will
be unusually great, beingabout six minutes.
From 1868 We have had none which lasted
over four and half minutes. Six minutes
is nearly the m sximum possible duration.
A portion of the path goes over Caroline
OF the path of all regular vessels. The
French government viii, however, send a
vessel there, carrying two French astrono-
mers, Que from Italy aud one or two Eu-
glshmen. The English government may
also fl out an expedition. Now observers
can be got TO give heir seryic, in this coun-
Try if the money eau be raised to pay their
expenses. This will probably have TO be
done by private enterprise. 1t will cost about
$4,000.

Next from her upper chamber silently
Went Helen, moving like morning dream.
Sne old not know the golden roof the high

That waters all the gardens wide expanse,
MS song, and cry OF singing birds, did seem
To guide her feet as music guides the dance.
The music drew her on the glad air
From forth the chamber OF enchanted death,
And To- the world was waking every where:
Inc wind went by, a cool, delicious breath,
Like that which in the gardens wandereth,
The golden gardens Of the HesperIdes.

Inc myriad mRryels OF the fairy seas.

The first OF men and maids did meet and smile,
And Aphrodite did their hearts beguile.

Were they enchanted meath that leaiy aisle,
And silently were wooed, betrothed and wed.
