n Editorial on the Iron Investments OF

An Editorial on the Iron Investments Of
the English Syndicate.
The current issue of the american Manu-
facturer contains lengthy editorial on the
operations of the English syndicate that
purchased the OTIS Iron and Steel Com
pany's plant at Cleveland, and the works of
the Thomas Iron Company at Easton. The
article reviews at length the sale of the two
large establishments, and concludes as fol-
lows:
1t is not at all impossible that these concerns
NAV continue to make earnings on the basis of
those of the past and to pay dividends, but the
probabilities are against it. The experience of
English companies is against it.

rcpFrTAI, TELEGRAM TO THE DlsPATCH.i
WASHINGTON, September 19.-Repre-
sentative Bynum, of Indiana, is in town,
and tells some very entertaining stories of
the way the administration is dispensing
patronage in various parts of his State.
United States Treasurer Huston, he says,
who was Chairman of the State Republican
Committee during the Presidential cam
paign, went about among the local bosses
collecting contributions to the party fund
and doling out to each contributor assur-
ances of the amount of patronage to which
his individual subscription would entltle
him.
Unhappily, the President failed to carry
out many of these agreements. One man.
for example, gave some hundreds OF COLLARS
besides procuring the Endorsements from
majority of the leading Republicans OF his
town for postmaster, but 10! when the post
Office changed hands
IT WENT NOT TO HIM,
but to q comparatively unknown and un-
suspected merchant, who dealt In shoes 1t
took good while for the defeated candidate
To prasp tt reason for this miscarriage of
plans brt he presently learned that his
lucky rival was in the habit of buying his
stock in trade of Mr.. Mckee, General
Harrison's son-in-law, and was considered a
valuable customer.
In another town a hungry and thirsty
patriot subscribed 5000 on the faith of
getting the postofice in exchange. The local
Grand Army organization, however. which
was very strong politically, indorsed some
body else, and the President did not dare to
carry out the contract of his campaign col
lector This made the $500 man very angry,
Of course, but he had the shrewd sense to
take
A BUSINESS VIEW
Of the situation, and go to the successful
competitor and demand his money back,
instead of kicking up public row and en-
barrassing the Republican machine with
disagreeable exposures. The victor was
equally business-like, and consented to
make good the contribution if the other
would consent to take note for the amount.
So that is the way the matter stands at
present.
The postofices are only a part, Mr..
Bynum saws, of the general system of pur-
chase, sale and delivery, which has been in
operation ever since the campaign of last
year got fairly under way and the calls for
money became uncomfortably pressing. The
scandal reaches even into the pettiest places
that command a salary of few hundred
dollars from the Government.

inundation of "Chinas sorrow" the Yellow
river, it seems like q mere episode in the ORR
ent.
The food devastated the province Of Xii,
in southwestern Hondo, one of the Japan
islands. The rains of the late summer
were great deal more abundant than ever
before known and so much detritus was car
ried to the mouths of the main streams that
they were choked On this came sudden
and heavy rain of several days duration;
the dams were broken, the entertainments of
streams swept away and finally all one side
of precipitous mountain, softened by the
rain, slid into the valley and covered six vii
lages. The dispatches give many details as
to the villages, but these need not be re-
peated.
The nature and extent of the foods work
may be judged by the fact that for ninety
miles along the coast foreign steamers
find it impossible to enter any harbor or
even get near the land. There was such a
mass Of floating trees, roots and wreckage
that the wheels and rudders were clogged
and the vessels could not force their way
through This is the greatest disaster Japan
has suffered for centuries, and the exact loss
of life cannot be known for some tine. az
many entire districts are covered and not
one person left alive to tell the tale.
