The following item appeared among
this Jefferson City news in the Repub-
lica,a, last Tuesday: 1.-THE Ozark Iron
Mountain Railway company has filed
with the Secretary of State resolu-
ton adopted by vote of two-thirds OF
its directors, changing the location OF
the road for the purpose of shortening
the line and to avoid natural obstruo-
tions and heavy grades, between Min
eral Point i'm Washington county, and
the headwaters of Big River, township
35, range east, in Iron county. Such
change is to commence at or near Iron
dale, in Washington county, and to
run thence enthusiastically to form a
junction with the line, as originally To-
Gated at the headwaters of Big River,
in Iron county,"

A dispatch from Pittsburgh says:
"The number of idle men in the city
at present Is unusually large, owing to
the glassmen's strike and the depres-
sion in the iron and coal trade. An
advertisement in a labor paper on
Wednesday for twenty coal miners
elected 800 responses in twenty-four
hours. A prominent labor leader
claimed to-day (4th inst.) thatif he ad-
vertised for 900 men to work on the
streets for Sl.1O per day, he would
have 5000 applicants inside of week.
Reports, however, from the various
iron mills in the city, show a better
condition of things than was anticipat-
ed month ago. Nearly all the iron
and steel mills are now running, with
fair prospects of an increase in busi-
ness during the present month. The
Republic Iron Works on the south
side, shut down for some time on ac-
count of break, will start Monday
with plenty of business to keep them
going steadily. The Black Diamond
Steel Works are about to lay train of
the largest rolls In the world, while
several other mills are now working a
double turn. There seems to be a
growing demand for iron, and manu-
facturers are daily growing more hope
ful. Business is increasing and the
outlook is more encouraging.

The Failures of the Year.

The statistics of failures for 1888, as
published by Dun, Wiman & Co., are
of unusual Importance in view of the
interest taken in the recent general de-
preston and its effect on the future
prospects of the country.
Briefly stated, the facts are these;
The whole number of failures for 1855
is 9,1s4 as against 6,73S in 1882, an in.
crease of nearly so per cent. The
amount of liabilities is put at $173 3,000,-
600 as against S1O1, 600, 900 in 1882, an
increase OF 70 per cent. This increase,
however, is partly offset by the increase
in the number of firms doing business.
We have not the figures of this latter
item, but even on a comparison with
the number of firms doing business the
record of the year is a bad one.
1t is not, however, bad enough to
alarm any one, or to put panic ideas
into any ones head. There was pam
ic in 1873, which recorded only 5,1S3
failures with $22S, ,O0O,OOO of liabilities
but then we were trading on a f1uctu-
ating basis. There was no panic in
1873, although the process of iquida-
ton, which began in the panic of 1873,
had been continued for five years and
the losses had been frightful. In the
five years ending with 1878, the liabili
ties aggregated thousand millions of
dollars, yet instead of any panic or
destruction of business following this
the succeeding years were
years of unusual prosperity and stabil-
ity.
There is every reason to believe that
the year 1884 will repeat the experience
Of 1879. Now, as then, we have the
of doing business on asound
basis. Stocks are depressed, but this
is chiefly because the general public
have Withdrawn from speculation, but
nearly all our other industries are in
good condition. If the country has
good crops, such as it has every reason
to expect, the present year will not be

Must the Train Boys Got

The managers of the Illinois Central
railroad have undertaken an experi-
ment with the purpose of finding out
| whether it is possible to abolish the
train boys on their lines. They have
| concluded to establish news stands at
the principals stations, where all the
papers usually carried through the car
| will be kept for sale, and If passengers
will supply themselves at the stands
instead of waiting for the youth TO
serve them on board, then the youth
will be relegated to some other sphere
of usefulness in private life.
Next to the fear of being "telescop-
ed" the dread of ihe train-boy is the
| most racking mental anxiety that be-
sets the ordinary traveller by rail. The
newspapers that he brings are all very
well, but the numberless excursions
which he proceeds to make through
the train for the sale of other commo-
dities are nuisance and a pest. The
"reading matter,n made up of books
that nobody ever wants to see and
that cannot be disposed of at any price
outside of railroad car; the s'vegeta-
BILE ivory" gimcracks that nobody ev-
er buys except under the disturbing
influence of speed of thirty miles an
hour; the apples, which would be like
those OF Sodom if they We're only fair
without prize packages of candy
which contain little of everything
except fgar and prizes; oranges W hose
large price is balanced by small size.
tough quality and sourness; figs that
not even a worm would touch or an
Arab would have the hardihood to cry
in the name of the prophet-these,
with long catalogue OF other WORTH
less and indigestible rubbish, are howl
ed in ones ears, thrust into ones
hands, piled In ones lap, and obtrud-
ed in every imaginable way SO often
and 50 persistently as to give unceas-
ing annoyance to at least nine- tenths
of the people whom business or inclina.
ton brings aboard the cars. A news
boy verybody is glad to see in travel
ing, one who has for sale newspapers
and perhaps the current monthly mag
azines; but travellers should somehow
be relieved from the importunities Of
the boy whose employer pays the CONF
pany q bonus for the privileges Of hawk
ing through the trains merchandise

The Southeast i'm the next State
Convention.

AS the time draws OH apace for hold
ing the next Democratic State Conven-
ton, as usual, politicians are begin
ming to make states and groom their
favorites for the struggle. Already
several persons have been mentioned
places on the ticket, and the press has
had something to say regarding the
claims of this section, but as yet no
definite line of action has been mark
ed out. Whether the candidates and
friends will come to an understanding
by which they can make successful
and just demand of the convention, or
whether they will appear before the
Democracy in their usual "dog-in-the
manger" roles, to be slaughtered, re-
mains yet question to be determined.
It has been the habit of the Southeast
Democracy heretofore to go to the con-
vention with any number OF candi-
dates, and each candidate possessing a
deep and revocable conviction that
his own success depended on the fail
ure of all others from this section. and
the result has been, and very natural
ly so, too, that Southeastern aspirants
have been slaughtered by their own
Then they return home
and upbraid a. convention for not rec
ognizing the Democratic stronghold.

nized until they learn that without

| Great Field for Retrench.
Inenf.

| It may be expected with confidence
that Mr.. Randall's Committee on Ap
propriations.will apply the axe of re
form vigorously to the estimates from
the different departments. Deductine
the difference in the pension account
the estimates for 1885 exceed the estim.
ates for the current fiscal year by near
ly S23 200 600, and they exceed the &C.
tual appropriations for the same time
by S24 100000.
The officeholders knew the compost
ton and intentions of the present
House of Representatives, and there
fore they made large margins for re-
ductions, expecting by this expedient
to save some of the cherished sinecures
and some of the opportunities for spoil
iation from the impending retrench-
ment by Democratic House.
They are likely to be disappointed.
The Administration of Gen. Grant re-
sorted to similar tactics in 1876, and the
experiment failed signally, although
every possible obstruction was thrown
in the way of economy. Proper infor-
nation was refused, or was so distorted
as to be useless. When the Appropri-
ations Committee in that Congress dis
covered their intention to thwart the
popular will, they adopted general
scale of reduction and saved thirty
millions the first year, without disturb
ing the public service in the least de-
gree.
Since then offices have been multi
piled withouta color of justification,
and mainly for partisan purposes. The
Blue Book for this year will show
about one hundred and twenty-five
thousand persons on the regular rolls.
These lists do not include laborers,
mechanics. and many others employ
ed temporarily, who are concealed un-
der general heads of appropriations,
and who make small army in them
selves. Thousands of them are dis
covered every year in the navy yards
and in other public institutions when
election day comes around.
Four thousand persons are employed
in the internal revenue service. These
could be dispensed with, even if the
excise taxes are to be continued, by
adopting q system of stamps and
checks. The revenue officers have
been constant source of trouble, In
has established the fact |
that some of them make business of
setting up stills in remote places in Or
der to gain the large fee allowed by
law to informers.
In his last report, the Secretary of
the Treasury says:
"There are useless customs districts, and
nothing but local pride or interest will dis
agree therefrom. There are twenty-five
ports of entry at which not dollar of duty
has been collected for years, at different
times. There are thirty-two ports of entry
N which the years collections from all
sources have not equalled the years expen-
,es."
There can be no hesitation about
,bolishing these offices, which have
been maintained for years merely as
and at large cost to the Treas
lry. There are many other offices,
some attached to the two Houses of
Congress, that are quite superfiuous
md constitute gross imposition on
he Treasury.
It is nonsense to say that at the last
session of the Forty-seventh Congress
he Robesonian majority left no field
