was the case. and this issue would have been
certainly forced upon the general run OF
these establishments II the then rate OK South
ern production of pig iron had been main
tanned to the present hour. AS it Is. the mass
of Northern establishments were only saved
from the necessity Of closing by the unexpect-
ed increase in the demand for iron for struc-
tural purposes as we'll as for additions to the
rolling stock and equipment OF railroad COM
panies in every part Of the country. including
the renewal and repairs Of tracks.
The depression which has prevailed in the
iron trade in the present yea. is in accord
ance with what might have been anticipated
The amount Of building that has been done
has been comparatively small, which mas
diminished the demand for structural iron.
while the railroads in the face of short crops
and financial disturbances have been com
PEELED 10 restrict their expenditures TO what
it has been absolutely necessary for them %
purchase. In consequence OF this attitude Oh
tho railroads the production Of Bessemer steel
rails has decreased nearly "A per cent. ana
there has been a proportonate cur'al-
rnent in the manufacture of other forms OF
railroad supplies.
The grounds for hopefulness for the future
consists first in the cutting down Of the
stock on hand, which had reached an enorm-
GUS amount when the depression began, but
which has been very much diminished in the
interval: secondly. IN the economical methods
adopted by the railroads during this depres-
sion, which have placed them in position
where it will not be injudicious in them to
expend moro literally than they have been
doing: thirdly. in the termination of strikes,
which has already led TO greater ac-
tivity by permitting the completion o
contracts whose performance had been interf
rupted, and finally in the slight change which
the iron industry has been recently undergo
ing-namely, the development of a disposl-
ton which has been long observed in England
to carry larger amounts Of pig from month to
month as a protection against fluctuations in
the market and failure of supplies.
This disposition requires the support Of
larger amount of capital than is generally en-
ployed, but its appearance shows that this
condition is being complied with in order to
secure a safer and more stable basis Of opera
ton.

Mr. BALFOUR has undertaken a political
part which seems to be highly inconsistent
with his character, but it is one which has
been played ny number of English states
men in the past. In announcing that he will
grant the people of Ireland as large a share of
home rule in local affairs as has long been
enjoyed by the English and Scotch. he as
sumes new and unexpected attitude that
will be as surprising as gratifying to the Irish
people. Hitherto Balfour has been justly re-
garded as the sternest opponent Of every
measure that would be likely 10 ameliorate
the political condition Of Ireland or 10 relax
the oppressive rule which they have for so
great length of time been enduring.
There is something more than mere
spirit of Justice actuating the Secretary. His
object is TO anticipate the Liberal party in the
overtures which they certainly intend to make
at the next election to the Irish members for
their support. but whether the Conservatives
will be strengthened by this new departure is
a question yelled in considerable doubt. The
position ofthe Conservative party must bemore
precarious than is generally supposed. Not
only'is Balfour changing his tactics towards the
Irish, but Salisbury proposes TO introduce the
principle Of the gerrymander into England,
an extreme measure which only great emer-
gency in party politics would appear to
justify.

THERE is for the present at least a lull in the
sensational reports with respect to the health
Of Mr.. Blaine. which is On indication that
those who feel a selfish interest in spreading
groundless rumors as to his condition are dis
concerted for the moment by the firm and
detailed denials of the truth of their state
ments So far as can be discovered at this
time, the highly unfayorable accounts Of Air.
Blaine's physical and mental condition have
had their origin in political reasons alone.
That his health has been seriously affected is
not open ID doubt. but that he has ever been
on the point Of a fatal collapse seems now to
be wholly improbable. This political attack
on Mr. Blaine, foritamounted 10 nothing less
has been one of the most discredtable Incl
dents in the recent history Of politics.
