PROBABLY the most remarkable piece of IL
logical nonsense ever written is that demon
strating that the iron lords" of Pennsylva-
mia succeeded in putting the duty on steel
blooms so high that it absolutely prevents
the manufacture of steel rails. That is to
say, these wonderful iron and steel lobbyists
who corrupted Congress in their interests
knew so little about their own business that
they lobbed law through that will shut up
their mills, and on which, it is asserted, they
make 100 per cent. profit. We have been in
formed by the free-trade doctors that the
tariff bill, so far as the metal schedule is con
cerned, was the product of the iron and steel
barons, yet the attack now made upon it is to
the effect that the makers of steel blooms
have put the duty at a figure that prevents
any one from using blooms. IL is such stuff
as this which Democratic free-trade chicks
run around with their mouths open to swal-
low and grow fat upon. 1t is marvellous

THE volume of fictitious business" in
grain seems larger than ever. In New York
city from Jan. to May II, 1882 the total
number of bushels of grain sold" was 439,-
1913, 300 For the same period in 1888 it was
929, 0S5, 650-an increase of over 100 per cent.
The exports between those dates in 1882 were
13, $40 95S bushels, and for 1888, Is, 142, 626
an increase of but about 25 per cent These
vast transactions in margins are but slightly
disguised means of gambling, and sooner or
later legislation must but stop to it. For
every dollar made in such business" a dol
lar is lost by somebody. The winnings and
losses are equal but the advantage is always
on the side of those in the ring, and the
lambs are shorn with as much regularity and
certainty as are the sheep on the hillsides

charge OF the bridge railroad. The regular
police force of twenty-five men will be doub-
led to-day by the addition of twenty-five tenn
porary policemen, recruited from the EN-
ployes of the bridge" The reports OF the
stampede state that few police were to be
seen, and that it was some time after the
crush began before the intelligence could be
conveyed to the toll-takers at either end and
the gates shut against the steadily augment
ing crowd. 1t is quite evident there was
wretched management somewhere. The
bridge was not to blame, thank fortune, but
the bridge management certainly has much
to answer for. And in reconstructing things
it would seem the dictate of the most ordi-
nary common sense to do away with the
steps and make the approach gradual ascent.
The steps, although only six feet high, were
the point of danger and of death.

In Mr.. Justin McCarthy's outlines of Irish
history, written, of course, from the point of
view of an extreme member of the Irish
party, there is a curious paragraph, read in
the light of recent events. In the last chapter
Mr.. Mccarthy says;
"On Saturday, the 9th day of May, 1882,
Lord Frederick Cavendish landed in Dublin;
that same evening he and Mr.. Burke, one of
the castle officials, were murdered in the
Phoenix Park, in the clear summer twilight,
by assassins, who escaped at the time Irish
men should always remember that at a time
when the passions of men might well be
stirred to their worst the tone of English
opinion and of the English press, with rare
exception, was just and tenn
perate. The Irish leaders, Mr..
Parnell, Mr.. Dillon and Mr. Davitt issued a
manifesto to the Irish people expressing in
their own heart-stricken grief the sorrow and
shame of the party and the people they rep
resented. The document concluded: we
feel that no act has been perpetrated in our
country during the exciting struggles for So
cial and political rights of the past fifty
years that has so stained the name of hospit-
able Ireland as this cowarGly and unpro-
voked assassination of q friendly stranger,
and that until the murderers of Lord Fred
erick Cavendish and Mr. Burke are brought
name AT meetings all over the country the
crime was no less bitterly denounced, and
the corporation of Dublin. passed a resolu-
ton declaring that until the perpetrators of
the crime were brought to justice all Irish
men must feel dishonored."
This is a strong and righteous statement
The cowardly murderers have been and are
being brought to justice, but what has been
seen? When the brutal, cold-blooded as
sassin, Brady, was righteously hung for this
crime which had stained the hospitable name
of Ireland, ten thousand people knelt bare
headed in the streets of Dublin, and in the
churches great crowds were saying masses,
while every effort was made to elevate him
into hero and martyr, along with O'Con-
nell and the gifted and pure hearted En-
met. The same thing was repeated when
Curley was hung, and in a less degree when
the third of the assassins met deserved death.
Mr.. Parnell, Mr.. Davitt and Mr.. Dillon
seemed to have worked off all their just and
righteous feeling in the manifesto
they issued; at least from the
time they put their names to the document
they never raised finger nor uttered word
to help the government bring the murderers
to justice, nor did the corporation of Dub
lin, notwithstanding their resolution that
until that was done the Irish name was dis
honored. Just now, when the vengeance of
the law has overtaken these butchers, and
the sentiment in Dublin seems to clothe
them with the garments of martyrdom for
the cause of Irish freedom, it is we'll to recall
the language of the Irish leaders and of the
Dublin authorities, used less than a year ago,
and under circumstances which. brought
their better impulses and sounder judgment
into action.
