If the liquor dealers who have been indicted
for violations of the Excise law are no'
brought to trial now, the public will know
exactly where to place the responsibility ior
the failure of Justice. 1t will be on the ONCE

to the judges who impose the fines There

Some of the Baptist preachers, at their
weekly meeting yesterday, sustained President
Eliot's remark, uttered week or two ago at
the Harvard Club, that beneficial endowmen'S
have greatly injured the clerical profession
The statements which the Rev DR.. Elder maoo
were indeed discouraging. The Baptlst uo-
nomination, he said, has only three-hiths rs
many clergymen as churches, and more
preachers die each year than are graduated
from theological seminaries. DR.. Elder admits
also that possibly too much help before gradu-

A lively canvass has begun at Albany among
the aspirants for the Office of State Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction. 1t is concedeu
that no one but Democrat can be chosen !;
but the peculiar shade of the candidates pol
itics thus far seems to be the only point taken
into consideration. 1t ought to be tne iaS':
1t is of first importance for the members oi

wants the office stands on the question OF hieh
and normal schools-whether he would dis-
courage or encourage them. One OF the aspir-
ants, Mr.. Weaver, of Utica, has already com
mitted himself in their favor. NOW let 'ho

Morning star.

Morning star.
During time of famine in France,
rich man invited twenty of the poor
children in the town to his house,
and said to them: SIN this basket
is loaf for each Of you; take it;
come back every day at this hour till
God sends us better times"
The children, selling the basket,
wrangled and fought for the bread.
Each wished to get the largest loaf
and at last went away without thank,
ing their friend. Francesca alone,
poor but neatly dressed girl, stood
modestly apart, took the smallest
loaf which was left in the basket,
gracefully kissed the gentleman's
hand, and went away to her home in
quiet and becoming manner. On
the following day the children were
equally i'll behaved, and Francesca
this time received a loaf that was
scarcely half the size of the others.
But when she got home, her sick
mother cut the loaf, and there fell
out of it number of bright silver
coins.
The mother was alarmed and said
"Take back the money this instant,
for it has no doubt got into the bread
by some mistake"
Francesca carried 1t back, but the
benevolent gentleman declined to re-
ceiye it.
"No, no." said he "it was no mis-
take. l had the money baked in the
smallest loaf simply as a reward for
you, my good chlld. Always contin-
ue thus contented, peaceable and I'M
assuming. The person who prefers
to remain contented with the small
est loaf, rather than quarrel for the
larger one, will find throughout life
blessings in this course of action still
more valuable than the money which
was baked in your loaf OF bread"

Iron and Steel.

Condensed from Mr.. Swank's Census paper.
The first iron ore discovered in this
country was in North Carolina in
1885. In 1908 ship load of ore was
exported to England from James
town, Va. The first iron works sue
cessfully established in this country
was a blast furnace and refinery forge
in Lynn, Mass. In 1884, just ten years
after the landing of William Penn at
Philadelphia, the iron hill is mem
toned as being situated eight miles
from New Castle, in New Castle coun-
ty, then in Pennsyl vania, but now in
Delaware Iron ore was found in this
locality, but iron was not made here
until many years after. The manu-
facture of iron in Pennsylvania was
established 17l6 by Thomas Rutter.

His enterprise consisted of bloom
ing forge located on Manatawy Creek,
IN Berks county, about three miles
above Pottstown. The second iron
enterprise in Pennsylvania was Coy-
entry forge, on French Creek, in the
lawer part of Chester county.
The erection of other furnaces and
forges proceeded with great rapidity
IN the SchuylkilI Valley. In the sixty
years that interviewed between 1716
and the Revolutionary struggle prob
ably sixty blast furnaces and FORCES
were oullt-a rate of progress which
was attained by no other colony in
the same period. After the Revolu-
non the manufacture of iron received
a fresh impulse in the Eastern part
OF pennsylvania, and was farther ex-
tended in the interior. In 1856 there
were seventeen furnaces, FORCES and
sitting mills within thirty-nine miles
uf' 1sAssessstdrl 3 1888 Elesa we're
lO2 furnaces, FORCES and rolling mills
within radius of fifty.two miles of
Lancaster. The first iron manufac-
tured west of the Allegheny noun.
talns is said to have been made in
l770, in Fayette county, on Georges
Creek, seven miles south of Union
town.
The beginning of the iron industry
at Pittsburg was small furnace built
on Two-mile Run, at a place now
known as Shady Side, in 1892. In
1877 there were three nail factories in
Pittsburg. The first rolling mill at
that CITY was built in 1911 by Chris
TOPPER Cowan, an EngIishman. The
early furnaces were all for the manu-
facture of charcoal iron. In 1910 an
thracite and bituminous coal came
into use as q substitute. After many
years of experiment bituminous coke
came largely to be used in connection
with the conversion Of pig iron into
refined iron about 1884.
Blister steel was made at a yery
early date in Pennsylvania. The
manufacture of crucible steel was suc-
cessfully established in the United
States first in 1860, when the Pitts.
burgh firm of Hussey, Wells & Co.,
began the manufacture of crucibe
steel of the best quality as a regular
product. The largest crucible steel
works in the world are those of Park
Brothers & Co., established in Pitts
burgh in 1862. The manufacture of
Bessemer steel dates from 1864, when
it was made in Wyandotte, Mich.
In 1867 the Pennsylvania Steel Works
at Harrisonburg were first put in OPP
Grafton, and were the first establish
ment of the manufacture of Bessemer
steel on a commercial basis. The
growth and development of these
manufactures are graphically traced
by Mr.. SWank. He shows that since
the middle of the last century Penn
sylvania has been the foremost iron
making State in the Union. In 1882
it made 4S per cent of all the pig iron
made In the United States, Sc per
cent of all the rails, 46 per cent of all
the rolled iron, except rails, and IS
per cent of all the steel.

Indiana has made good deal of progress
of late years. She has got out of the habit
Of electing the Democratic ticket every time,
and she has improved her divorce laws. A
correspondent of the Christian Union shows
that however lax her divorce laws may have
been in the past they are now as stringent
as in most of the States. Only six causes
for divorce are recognized by the law. These
are: Adultery when there is no connivance
with the innocent party, impotency, exist
ing at the time of marriage, abandonment
for two years. cruel and inhuman treat
ment, habitual drunkenness and failure on
The part of the husband to make reason
able provision for his family for two years.
These facts are not admitted on default of
one of the parties, but must be proven. APP
plicants must be bona fide residents of the
State for two years and of the county for
six months, as proved by two resident
householders, so that 1t is difficult for stran-
gers to go to Indiana and purchase ready
made divorces.

The Fusion press of Maine has never for
given the militia for their loyalty to the
State in 1880 when Garcelon and his Cocoon
spirators were plotting to steal the govern
ment. Speaking of the recent muster the
Progressive Age of Belfast which is an organ
of the Fusion variety says: "The annual
parade of that utterly needless body, our
Maine militia, is being had at the State cap
ital this week. Tenting, marching, consum-
ing rations, firing at a mark and other mock
cries of war are the order. Vainglorious Of
ficers with feathers and gilt lace will gallop
hither and thither, and all for what purpose?
There is not the remotest possibility of any
war for this or the next generatian; and if
there was prospect Of war not one of these
companies could be relied upon as such to
march to the front. The considerable
amount of appropriation from the State
treasury, annually to keep up the useless
show could be much better spent towards
fixing up our dilapidated State House." Had
it not been for the militia we should have
had dilapidated State, which is very smuch
worse than dilapidated State House.
