The serious obstacles to rapid general
improvement are the condition of the coal
and iron trades. 1t has been said that iron
was looking up, and dispatch from Pitts
burg, widely published, has been in every
body's mouth. Prices, however, remain
very low at this point, the demand is slack,
and there is likely to be a very heavy ship
ment of cheap southern iron to this market,
which must prove an unpleasant feature
during the coming autumn. There is some
doubt, also. whether the changes brought
about by the use of natural gas In Pittsburg
have been taken into consideration fully in
the estimates of the condition Of the trade.
With the economy brought about by the use
Of gas iron may be made and manufactured
now at profit in Pittsburg, but at no other
point in the country. II is encouraging
that there is an improved sentiment in re-
gard TO the iron trade, and the advance in
steel rails warrants the belief that 1t may
prove to be more important than now APP
pears. The agreement among the steel rail
manufacturers to restrict production and
allot percentage it is thought will put that
industry on its feet before the end of 1886.

Hodge Apotheosized.

lNcW 1OTh llcfulusI
In a sprightly letter our London corrc-
spondent calls attention to the political
Acknowledgement Of the English farm la
borer. Times have changed indeed. A
hundred years ago Hodge in England was
no better off than Jacques Bonhomme in
France, He had no more rights than q
serf. And, unlike Jacques Bonhomme, no
revolution awaited him. No Napoleon was
at hand to raise him in the political scale.
II he left the plow to shoulder the musket
he merely fought for the benefit of an aris-
toeracy.
Yet, by silent revolution, Hodge has
gained his liberty. The tories, who held
him lower than their cattle, now court his
vote. Statesmen meet in their councils and
clubs to seek methods Of conciliating him.
Churchmen even fear lest he may uproot
them. Strange times are coming in English
politics. Democracy will play fantastic
tricks with that ancient constitution. But
nothing that II will effect will be more re-
markable than its apotheosis of the farm
labCrer.

CHILD labor is becoming serious ques-
tion in m-ny of the states. In Pennsyl-
vania its gravity has attracted much atten-
tion, and an tempt at remedial legislation
has been recently made, but the results are
involved in doubt. In his second annual
report Commissioner Peck Of the New York
state bure-u Of statistics of labor, alleges
that the worst form of child labor appears
in th;t state; that tie compulsory educa
tional law is q dead letter; that the moral
and mental conditions of such children are
Of low standard; that the sanitary condi-
tion of many mills and tenement-house fac
tories is disgrace to civilization, and that
many of them in case of fire would be per-
feet deathtraps. This country is getting
Europeanized at an alarming late.

The tariff circus has begun. Mr.. Wat
terson opened the proceedings with an at
tack on Randall, and that gentlemau's
southern friends step bravely out to do
battle In his defense. The Atlanta Consti-
tuition remarks that ~ the western edi,o-
rial cranks aud whisky rinysters propose to
turn Mr. Randall out to grass they ought
to understand that the best part of the
Democratic party will be perfectly willing
TO Craze with him." The Macon Telegraph
threatens that II it is true that Mr.. Carlisle
is party to the scheme 30 insult and de-
grade Mr.. Randall by the misuse of the
power that belongs to the speaker, then
Mr. Carlisle will not be elevated to that
position" Congress is going to be a hard
competitor with our theaters this winter.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,: Our
Humane Society has rece we'd from q sister
society in London, England, memorial to
the pope, with blanks for signatures, earn
estly praying "his holmes grac.ously to
issue letter to the bishops aud clergy
throughout ,all The world directing them to
enforce on their congregations the duty of
kind treatment OF all auimals In their power
or intrusted to their care &C." This most
worthy appeal, however, much needed iu
foreignsland,s ought not to be necessary In
our enlightened republic, and II all the
clergy were rs much in earnest to prevent
cruelty to animals as are some OF the Cath
Ollie priests In the Uuited States who have
espoused the cause of humane education,
as II is supported by the sSBlnd OF Mercy
organization, there would DC no waiting for
instructions from the vatican. If all teach
ers and parents would devote one hour Of
an evening, once week, assisting and CO.
operating with the children In this work,
we should, in a few years, have little need
for societies for prosecuting violators of
laws for prevention Of cruelty.

The business situation.
New York Tribune.l

The effect of large crops is already felt
in larger purchase of goods. But the un-
usually low prices at which these crops will
have 10 be marketed are not yet fully felt.
The railroad consultations are felt, but not
what they are going to cost. The improve
ment at Pittsburg and in cotton goods is
felt, but not the results Of a reduced de-
mand for iron and coke elsewhere, or Of in
creased competition from abroad when
cheaper cotton has been secured by foreign
makers. The monetary condition is better,
and yet II is not safe to forget that 1t is es-
sentially the same in character, depending
still on the will of one man and on the sue
cess Of plans which the administration seems
disposed to work out in secret.

To say 'llrc punliesn may not always be
true. In the case of the recent conllagra'
tion that burned out The NATIONAL RE-
PUBLICAN, the Post, the Washington Critic,
and the Sunday Gazette, however, an
equally good application, and one that csn-
not be disputed, may be made. These
papers are better for the fire. Like tho
tabled bird Of old that some Of Our modern
safe makers have taken for an emblem they
have risen from their ashes and appeared In
new and brighter dress. Not only this but
each and all Of them appear to have drawn
new life from their misfOrtunes, and to-day
they give us brighter, more crisp, and more
interesting paragraphs. 1t looks as though
1t required misfortune to make man or a
newspaper show what there Is In him, Be
this Ms Il may, Il Is the snecure wish of the

The merchants of this city, and, in fact,
business men throughout the country, are
to be congratulated upon the substantial
improvement in general trade which has

one or two branches, but the change for the
better now includes most of the leading in

"Lire on the ocean wave."

On Tuesday, at o'clock, January 10, the
Dickinson lifeboat Elizabeth will be
launched from Government vessel at the
Navy Yard, and her capacities fully tested
to be what the inventor claims for her
the only real lifeboat ever made.
The boat may be launched without use
of tackles or davits, directly from the
steamers deck; needs no ballast, being
filled with passengers before launching,
who are protected from wet as completely
as If in steamers cabin.
The Elizabeth will be tested as to her
capacity as self-righter; also, a purchase
being used for turning her over, yet her
passengers will find themselves perfectly
dry even under water.
The general public is advised to attend
the launch at the navy-yard, this being the
first appearance Of the Elizabeth on the
Potomac, though she was tested a few
weeks since in Baltimore basin, and gave
general satisfaction, proving herself a self
Fighter and self-bailer. Had our ocean
steamers been supplied with Dickinson
lifeboats, the daily papers would not have
chronicled so many ocean calamities that
have saddened our homes during the past
year. From q humanitarian point Of view
