An Unlucky Odd Number.

Frank G. Lawson, an American citizen, is
a prisoner in a Mexican jail. He is the
victim Of the fateful number thirteen and
an old Mexican law. 1t lie not known In
Mexico as a "blue law, but il makes Lawson
mighty blue, because there Is no prospect Of
President Harrison interesting himself in
his behalf and demanding his releaee. Its
campaign time but there lie little campaign
material In the case. The trouble is that
lawson dehed the Mexican statute Sin such
case made and provided" and got mar
ried thirteen times. II he had welded
only nine times It would have
been all right The law allows
that many wives TO a man living In Mexico,
provided he takes them one at a time, and
never has more than one at time. II the
grim reaper persists In taking his wives, be
is at liberty to take new ones up to the
ninth; that far aud no farther. But when
Lawson had been nine times bereavsd he did
not stop marrying. his heart was yet young,
and soon tenth bride adorned his home.
But the singular fatality that had followed
his matrimonial ventures only allowed him
an average Of three months per wife and
soon made him a widower again, and again
on two other occasions, until he had
married bis thirteenth wife, when the
authorities found out about his remarkable
i'll luck as q husband. and arrested him.
Foul play toward his numerous wives was
suspected, but a most rigid investigation
failed TO discover the slightest suspicious
circumstances. He had always been an
affectionate and kind husband, bore good
reputation, was well educated, and had
displayed such genuine emotion at each
successive bereavement that the authorities
concluded that he was only unfortunate in
his domestic affairs, and not desperately
wicked. They were about to dis
charge him when some smart
greaser lawyer remembered the old
law prohibiting mans becoming a bene-
dict more than nine times, and under this
law Lawson was held for trial. The PEN
atty is term of imprisonment for each Of
tense, and as Lawson will have four offenses
TO answer for, he may have q long term to
serve in prison However, he is a young
man-only 1870 that he may yet come
out of confinement. go to some other coun-
try, get married and settle down to a more
successful life Maybe the imprisonment
will lay the hoodoo that Is apparently fol-
lowing him.

The Military Ord cred Out.

The sheriff of Allegheny county has
finally convinced Gov. Pattison that be can
not preserve order az Homestead aud the
governor has ordered out the national guard.
The governor, apparently, hasn't a very
high opinion of the sheriff. He says
the sheriff has not made much of an effort
to get deputies to go to Homestead to
take posse sion Of the mill. 1t does seem as
IL the sheriff is rather a weak official.
He has done good deal OF talking and has
pretended that he has used every effort to
get deputies. but, as a matter Of fact, he
has done nothing more than summon citi-
zens to assist him.
1t is true he telegraphed the governor
a number Of times that those summoned re
fused to respond, but he did not exhaust
ell the means in his power to get a force
sufficient TO uphold the law. The law gives
him authority 10 arrest citizens who refuse
to respond to a summons, but he arrested
none OF those who disobeyed the process
with which they were served.
It Is not at all improbable that the sheriff
is in sympathy with the locked-out men at
Homestead The great majority OF the
people of Pittsburg appear TO be, and IL
would not be strange IL the sheriff, who is
elected by the people, were siding with the
majority. However, even the workmen at
Homestead would not think the less Of him
for doing his duty.
Il Is doubtful IL he would meet with any
resistance IL he were to go to Homestead
with posse. The locked-out workmen do
- -
OK the Carnegie property. They do not
intend TO destroy t. All they purpose do
ing is 10 prevent non-union men from get
ting into the works. They have made up
their minds that the mills shall not be
operated by non-union men.
They know. Of course, that they have no
right TO try to prevent the Carnegie sssoci-
alton from hiring whom it pleases. Their
leaders have told them as much, but they
intend to see II they cannot carry their
point by force.
Unless the matter Is settled by arbitra-
ton there is likely to be a great deal Of
trouble at Homestead. It is not probable that
the Carnegie association will let their works
remain idle for five orsix months, and it has
declared through It's official head that 1t
will never employ union men In the
works again. 1t is difficult to see, therefore.
how trouble can be avoided, except by
means Of arbitration, and that the Carnegie
association does not seem disposed to consent
to.
It Is true that the association may sue
coed in introducing new men into the works.
but. II it does, the new men will not find
much satisfaction in their employment.
They viii be annoyed and harassed, in all
probability, until they will be glad to leave
the town.
There is peace at Homestead now, but there
will not be peace If the Carnegie association
attempts to introduce non-union man into
the mills. 1t is probable that 1t will make
such an attempt as soon as the state troops
arrive. With the military to quell any dis
turbance that may occur 1t will probably
undertake TO operate the mills.

Keen Southern Competition,

The iron and steel manufacturers Of
Pennsylvania are finding 1t extremely diff
cult 70 compete successfully with the iron
and steel manufacturers OF Tennessee and
Alabama. A few days ago one Of the largest
iron manufacturers of Pennsylvania an
nounced a reduction Of 81 a ton on pig iron.
Long ago Abram Hewitt and Andrew
Carnegie recognized the fact that the south
would become ct no very distant day the
seat Of the iron aud steel Industries in this
country. The iron ore and GOAL can be
obtained cheaper In the south than any,
where else In the world, not only because
they exist In suoh abundance. but also be-
cause they lie 80 close together, making
the cost Of bringing them together COM
paratively small
No matter how high the tariff is raised 1t
cannot protect the Pennsylvania mauufaot-
urers from the competition of the manu-
facturers Of the south. 1t is clear, there
fore, that the time must come
when the Pennsylvania manufacturers will
ind 1t impossible to compete with those of
the south, and Alabama and Tennessee will
control the iron and steel industry in this
country
Those who have watched this industry in
the south are surprised at its remarkable
growth. In Alabama, particularly, it has
exceeded the expectations Of those who
were most enthusiastic with regard to 1t a
few years ago. And what has been accom-
plished is very little in comparison 70 what
will be accomplished within the next ten
years. Capital will be invested in ii to an
almost unlimited amount. and the northern
market will be supplied with iron and steel
products at prices that northern manu-
facturers will find It diff1culs to meet.

Senator Mills has gone home to Texas to

states reputation for returning big demo-

serve her integrity.
