Hard Lines for Florida Roads.

If the bill pending in the Florida legisla-
ture to compel all the railroad companies of
the state to fence in their tracks becomes a
law, some of the roads will not pay divi-
dend during the next year or two. The pro-
visions of the bill require the building of
the fences to be begun within sixty days
from the passage of the act, and be COM
pleted within two years. The fences must
be built of posts, barbed wire and boards
and must be kept in good repair.
Some of the Florida roads don't pay their
fixed charges Indeed, there are roads that
hardly pay operating expenses. They are
helping to develop the country, however,
and in the course of time, doubtless, they will
pay fair interest on the money invested in
them. At present, however they are such
poor property that the shareholders may
think it advisable to stop operating them
rather than inclose them with barbed wire
fences, or fences of any other material.
Florida is hardly developed enough to re-
| quire her railroads to be inclosed with
| fences. Some of the roads run through
many miles of country in which there is no
sign of a farm, or even a clearing. The
railroads could much better pay for all the
stock they kill than fence in their tracks.
In fact they could better afford to furnish
the farmers whose farms are near their
lines with the material necessary to fence
in their cattle
! While it is true that railroad corporations
take all they can get and pay as little as
they can, it should not be forgotten that
they are the greatest factors in the develop
ment Of the country. Legislation bearing
upon their interests should be just. If 1t is
too exacting and oppressive it is likely to
affect the interests of the people, in the long
run, more injuriously than those of the
railroads.

Prospective Competition for Pittsburg.
Heretofore Pittsburg has been accustomed
to regard the developing iron interests of
Alabama and Virginia as something in the
nature of an interesting experiment promis-
ing measurably satisfactory results in the
indefinite future. But the big iron town is
now coming to a gradual realization that
the mills OF north Alabama end west
ern Virginia are very substantial sort Of
reality.
What chiefly served to arouse the Pitts
burgers from their vaguely hazy dreams Of
a monopoly devoid of possible active COM
petition was the recent investment by
wealthy syndicate of round million of
dollars in a completely equipped plant pro-
vided with the most improved devices for
modern steel making. This strikes Pitts
burg industries at their most vital point.
For even that degree Of dissatisfaction
that is sometimes produced by established
traffic cannot blind them to the patent
probability that so complete a plant run
ming in 80 favorable a field must ultimately
prove a formidable competitor to the Pitts
burg product of the hard metal.
Furthermore they understand that such
men of business as those who compose the
ownership Of the new furnace are not at all
likely TO have invested 50 large a sum Of
money in any locality until a thorough in
vestigation has perfectly satisfied them
that the investment was not only altogether
safe but likely TO produce satisfactory
returns.
Previous articles in the MORNING NEWS
have shown that the necessary materials for
steel making can be had at Birmingham
much cheaper than at Pittsburg. There
fore it is only necessary that the operating
expenses of the new industry shall be kept
down to the same level as those of the same
industry at Pittsburg in order that Birming-
ham shall have very decided advantage
over Pittsburg.
Careful examination and comparisons
have shown that the quality of the Alabama
product is fully equal and in some grades
superior to Pennsylvania iron and steel. and
aside from the item of labor the expenses Of
operation at Birmingham have been shown
to be much less than at Pittsburg.
While there is probably no desire in any
part of the country to see the Pennsylvania
iron industries one whit less prosperous at
any future time than at present, yet the
bright prospects for southern iron and steel
are decidedly gratifying to those who live
in the regions affected by their developing
prosperity. And there are many uses to
which the inferior grades of ore and metal
from other localities could be put in case the
newly introduced fine qualities of iron and
steel from the Alabama manufactures
should prove too far superior and formidable
for successful general comnetition.

Reformer Lodge appears to be having a
great deal of trouble. Everybody knows
what disastrous failure that pet scheme of
his known as the force bill proved to be-
Now his own state has gone back on him.
Not only has he failed to regulate election
methods throughout the country to suit his
own fancy, but the Massachusetts legisla-
ture will not even allow him to prescribe
the manner in which the state shall be re-
districted. Doubtless Mr. Lodge regards
such disrespect of his wishes as rather a
hardship and fragrant offense. Evidently
he thinks it decidedly hard condition of
affairs when a man who is perfectly willing
to be statesman as we'll as an exceedingly
shrewd politician cannot even gerrymander

st. Louis mayor is almost as much of a
freak as ever james Owen OConnor could
be at his most eccentric intervals. His name
is Noonan and he would probably like to
have that generally remembered. Such a
spectacle as he made of himself in his
grotesque efforts to do the ageeable with
Mayor Shakespeare Of New Orleans would
positively have been discreditable to pro-
fessional harlequin. Such antics as he
rounded up by enthusiastically embracing
the mayor Of New Orleans could scarcely
have been altogether agreeable to the ladies
accompanying the visitors. But they prob
ably considered him either unmanageably
intoxicated or else suffering from a mild
form Of denentia. 1t is barely possible
the Crescent City party did not fully ap-
preciate quite such an excess of hilarious
hospitality.

Sea EuoHs for the Coast.

| Quite a commendable movement, said TO
have been inaugursted by the authorities
| of Trinity house to establish an inter
national and uniform system of buoyage in
navigable channels, ia reported in a recent
number OF the London Shipping Gazette.
| Such plan or something similar was sug-
gested at the Washington marine conference
not long since. 1t was brought into
notice by something said in the discussion
Of maritime problems during the delibera-
tions of that body.
Among the different forms in use the
spherical, conical or fiat top buoy is not
chosen haphazard. They usually indicate
respectively the character or degree Of dam
ger of the channel in which they are placed.
Still, a system applicable alike to all waters
and uniform in all countries would be far
preferable, as it would obviate the necessity
OF great deal of study and be likely to
avert many disasters. Notwithstanding
the hard usage to which they would be sub
jected from such things as drift, strong
currents and food tides in many localities,
such system does not seem to be by any
means impracticable.
most difficult problem to deal with by such
commission would probably be to devise
satisfactory system of signaling by means
Of buoys the "tairways which though we'll
used by ships of all nations, cannot be said
to belong to any country in particular, and
also waters just outside the territorial limits
of any country"
Undoubtedly this proposition contains
much that is interesting for the maritime
as well as other nations.
Many places along the coast of Virginia
and the Carolinas as woll as New Jersey
and New England, that are shallow and fire.
quented by dense fogs could be rendered
much less dangerous by a we'll arranged
system of sounding buoys suitable to COM
paratively deep water.
By experiment with various kinds the
national lighthouse board has become con-
WINGED that a spar attached to heavy
anchor resting on the bottom and made visi-
bic by brightly painted bulb at the top,
with an electric light or whistling appa-
ratus to attract attention, is best adapted to
the purposes for which 1t is designed 1t not
only withstands the effects of heavy sea-
but ls not easily displaced by drift nor likely
to be run down by passing vessels. Such a
system has proven very effective In the
channels approaching New York.
Buoys Of this type anchored few miles
off the gradually deepening channels around
many parts Of our Atlantic coast would
probably prove intellectually beneficial to
the interests of navigation in foggy or
stormy weather. At such times the light
house is nearly if not quite invisible, aud
the mariner must almost wholly rely upon
sound to guide him. Then doe, the sound
ing buoy frequently warn the master and
save the vessel
Yet many precautions are necessary to
prevent these buoys from breaking away
from their mornings and drifting out to sea
under the constant strain to which they are
subjected. That is one of the most diff
cult parts Of the whole problem to be dealt
with.

Indiana recently had disclosed one of the
most unique exhibitions of cowardly malice
at Indianapolis that has yet been heard of.
Because an obscure attorney had a grudge
against one of the editors of an Indianapo-
lis paper he instigated and aided in the
burglary of the editors house. Probably
that was about the worst thing he could
have done for his own cause. Coping with
the sharp reporters o. a daily newspaper
and playing with the sort of men who
usually do detective work are two entirely
different things, as the amateur burglar
has probably discovered. 1t must have
been particularly CALLING to that cowardly
aud malignant man to be run down by the
assistants of the very man he hated so I'M
scrupulously, and to have that man also
publish him to the world in his true char
acter. People frequently over-reach them
selves in this way.
