loosely on matters OF this nature that In all
probability, somebody win presently be arguing
that mines and furnaces In Pennsylvania Ohio
or Michigan are worthless II Is worth while,
therefore, TO mention briefly few considerations
which are often overlooked.
Whether there Is moro than one furnace az the
South, In which iron is now produced at the cost
named, Mr.. Carnegie does not appear TO have
stated. Nor " IL stated whether there Is more
than one locality where such production is posi-.
bic Certainly most OF the iron produced az the
South costs considerably more. But let 1t be
supposed thaf furnaces capable Of producing hall
the entire Southern output, or about 100000
tons are able TO make iron at q cost Of $40 OF
less; the remaining 100000 tons required for
consumption in the country must be produced
somewhere else. The price must be governed, not

ANOTHER APPEAL FROM TIE STATE
HOUSE

The State Board Of Health has examined the
Capitol at Albany, found that it's sanitary con-
dition is bad, and suggested $50, 900 as about
the proper sum TO rectify the blunders Of con-
struction which now threaten the lives Of our
lawmakers 1t appears that the sewers leak,
and that the ventilatng apparatus would have
been perfect success If its original purpose
had been TO collect noxious gases and distribute
them through the building. We have nothing
to say against the Board of Health. On the
contrary, II is altogether probable, in the light
of previous experience with our white elephant
OF State House, that it is full Of poisonous
yapors which can be dispersed only by liberal
appropriation. OF course, nobody imagines that
$4,000 would accomplish this benefcent OBJ
ject That sum would be sure to have vanished
just at the most critical moment, leaving the
Capitol In worse condition and the Legislature
in q worse plight than before. Nothing could
be more deadly than half-completed ventilat-
| ing apparatus, and in spasm Of horror quar-
ter Of million more would be voted for it,
| completion.
II our Capitol had existed in the days Of in
