My own computations, which have been

based wholly upon the figures given by
the Iron and Steel Association OF this

1850 to 1889 inclusive, not less than
! 5000, 600, 900, and probably $500, 900, 900.

PRIZE EDITORIALS.

An editorial contest recently in
augurated by the New York World
has developed fact long known to
journalists, that the power of terse,
vigorous expression is extremely
rare. OF AGA editorials offered In
competition, sixteen only were
selected out of which the winner
was to be named, The Others were
more In the nature of essays, and'as
such were valucless for newspaper
Use. Many Of them We're well writ
ten, but the subjects selected were
threadbare, and the manner oftrcat-
meut hackneycd and verbose. Yet
the contestants embrace clergymen,
physicians, lawyers, country editors,
school teachers and every con-
celvable calling, A judge, an ad-
jutant general Of state and n
policeman are found in the list of
competitions.
The writer who aspires to edito-
rial work In these days of haste and
progress, i'm order To court success,
must employ all the arts of concen-
tration. Diffusion Is dead duck i'm
journalism. People will not pause
to read long editorials, it matters
not how ably written they may he.
For such articles they look to the
magazines and the reviews.
And yet Il good newspaper ediio-
rial is simplicity itself. All that is
required is the employment of
ideas on timely topics, the expires
sion Of those ideas in clear-cut
English, and the conveyance of the
impression that the writer is famil-
lar with his subject and is thor
oughly In earnest in the expression
of his views. rhc truth must be
spoken with candor and fearless
ness.
As noted journalist once said to
the writer, 'lt is easy enough to
write when one has something to
tell his readers. The difficulty lies
in trying to say something when
you have nothing to say
This contclt of the Worlds has
developed another fact. 1t shows
that men OF ability push themselves
to the front, and do not wait for the
opportunity to search them out.
That IL why that ont of 4G4 com
petitors not a single editorial was
developed that WIS superior to the
ordinary production that would he
expected and demanded OF the aver.

notice, II proves that after all oul
system of society cun he relied upon
to work thcright men into the right

IN THE PALE OF THE LAW.

The attorney general of Mime
sotu Ina. decided that there is no
power under the laws OF the state to
institute proceedings against the
American Building and Loan Asso-
citation. This decision Is in an mn
swer to request for such action,
preferred by the public examiner of
banks and insurance companies, who
figured ont an excess of receipts over
assets of s7i,7is.2s- The attorney
general, by omittlng from the lia-
billties an expense fund of SlSi,-
5000, collected from the stockhold-
ers, makes a surplus of SlOo,S32.F,
land this being allowed by the
terms Of the law, while sound busi-
ness principles would suggest an
economical Use of the expense fund,
that the surplus might go to general
profits, yet, ms n strict matter OF
law, the association might re-
ceive and apply for expenses the sum
allowed by law; consequently the
sum SO collected could not be treated
as legal Liability, and If deducted
from the amounts charged the asso-
citation 1t appears the association has
a surplus. This being tho cnsc, and
no other suggestion of insolvency
appearing, II is plain no proceedings
could be sustained based upon the
ground Of Insolvency"
While this institution has con-
Quoted its affairs in n technically

LESSONS or A MURDER.

What led Charles kincald to
shoot ox-Congressman Taulbce?
Undoubtedly false and murderous
education. In his boyhood he was
taught that man was justified In
taking the life of his fellowman,
whenever his fellowman transcend
ed n certain code of honor. One of
the rules of this code forbids the
very insult that Taulbeo Is said to
have perpctrated upon Kincaid. It
Is high time that the youth of Ken
lucky should be taught that trilling
matters Of this character can not
lower % man I'm the cstimat ion of
the world, and that no man ever
added TO his dignity by pulling u
gun. A resort to force Is poor way
TO settle such disputes. Ample
proof of this IL seen In the long and
bloody feuds that have been carried
on upon Kentucky soil.
A ialse education Is like
wise responsible for the
bloody afliny recently fought in
Douglas county, this state. The
men who there rislSed their lives,
and tried To murder their rivals, did
20 under belief that their action
was iustinnble. They had often
hardened TO such vicious teachings,
and when the deadly opportunity
came, the murderous seed that was
sown years ago brought forth blood
red blossoms,
The youth of The land ought to ne
tnught that murder, under any con-
ditiuns IL u terrible crime, and that
thcre are other means 10y which
they can usscrt their dignity aud
rcscnt insults. If n man were to
pull II revolver and kill every fool
vino tried To lnsill, OF snub him, we
should all become murdercrs, and
life would not bc worth snap of
the finger. The sooner an end Is
put upon this sort Of false education,
the sooner the crop of murdercrs
will decrease.

a POSTAL. TNLEaRArH.

Postmaster General Wanamakcr
supports his proposition for postal
telegraph with considerable ability
and show OF reason. His bill con-
templates a connection between all
iettcNcarricr offices. The letter car
rlers would collect the messages, and
employees Of the postoiiicc depart
ment would do the tclcgrnphing,
over leased lines. In the opinion of
the REVIEW, this proposition Is the
weak spot In the bill. Mr.. Wanna
maker says tho present employees
could go 10 schools OF telegraphy
and study the art. Telcgrnphy has
been reduced TO n skilled profession,
