ONE CUT IN FxPENDITUREs.

The report of the House Committee on
Naval Affairs presents a reduction of
about IS, 600, 600 from the expenditures of
last year, and of SS,OOO,0O0 from the esti-
mates of the department. This reduction
is largely in the appropriations for new
vessels. The committee very cogently
points out that there is large unexpended
balance in the appropriations for the in
crease of the navy, and makes the valid
point that it is well to complete the vessels
authorized by the former appropriations
before launching out widely into the con-
struction of new ones.
The reasoning is good in the main, and
the reduction carries with it an earnest of
further cuts from the heavy expenditures
of the last Congress But it should be
understood that naval appropriations are
not where the pruning knife is to be ap
piled most severely. The money spent for
the navy is for the benefit of the nation.
There are other appropriations to which
Congressman are much more prone where
the record of reducing expenses should be
made by the present Congress. If the
Democratic House cuts down the jobs
with twice the severity that the naval
committee has applied to the naval appro-
priation, it will do good work for itself
and the people.

A DECIDED WANT OF CONFIDENCE.

1t is reported that the Salisbury Cabinet
will claim that the vote of Friday in the
House of Commons, by which the names
of three members were stricken from the
vote in favor of the Mombasa Railway
grant, is not vote of want of confidence
This is based on the view that the vote
only involved the question whether men,
bers having a pecuniary interest in the
matter legislated upon shall be allowed to
vote.
1t is hard to see how any matter could
more clearly involve want Of confidence,
or how Cabinet could put itself more
clearly in the wrong. The Government by
some extraordinary stroke Of blindness
put itself in the position of maintaining
the right of members to vote for project
by which they would obtain a pecuniary
profit. The House voted against the Gov
eminent in that matter, and by so doing
not only showed its want of confidence but
called the attention of the world to the
fact that the lack of confidence was we'll
deserved
1t does not make much difference, how
ever, whether Lord Salisbury accepts this
defeat or hangs on to power until the last
moment The days of the present Parlia-
ment are numbered, and the date of the
general election which will introduce a
new era in English politics is only ques-
ton of months and weeks.

SHUTTING DOWN FURNACES.

A special correspondent of THE DIS
PATCH, who has been investigating the
condition of the pig iron industry in the
Shenango valley, finds large share of the
furnaces already out of blast and more
preparing to shut down. In his report,
published in this issue, it is shown that
practically all the production for the open
market in that district will soon be sus-
pended, for the reason that the price of
pig iron does not now repay the cost of
production.
This is the exponent of condition of
depression in the iron industry which has
been experienced at intervals for years,
and which is now felt with more or less
severity in other branches of the trade
The only way to meet such condition of
overproduction under-consumption,
as we choose to regard it's for each firm
to suspend operations until there is either
a revival Of the demand or an economy in
the factors of production that enables iron
to be made at the lower prices.
In the latter direction of effort, which
is most Immediately within the reach Of
those interested in the activity of tine iron
trade, there are elements of cost which
might be lessened to meet such an exi-
gency as is here reported. The prices of
ore and coke and the charges for trans
portation can all be decreased somewhat
rather than have the furnaces go out of
business. While ore and coke companies
and railway officials are VIGOROUSLY ad-
verse to these views, when it becomes
clear that they have got to take one alter
native or the other they will certainly ac-
cept that of decreased rates in preference
to no earnings at all. Iron men of all
branches should also recognize that the
surest economy in this direction is to be
obtained by earnest efforts for ship canal
from Lake Erie to Pittsburg.
Our correspondent is inclined to think
that the situation is aggravated by the abb
sence of any organization for concerted
action in the way of restricting produc-
ton. But his report shows, as THE Dis
PATCH has often pointed out, that concert
of action is unnecessary. Consumption is
being restricted without such concert, and
the furnaces are shutting down by the in
dividual decision of their owners for the
best of all reasons, namely, that it does
not pay to keep them in operation.
1t is pertinent to say that this depression,
like its predecessors, will be temporary.
The factors which point to revival IN the
demand for iron are well known and posi-
tive. Their action has been delayed longer
than was generally expected, but the turn
of the tide is certain to come, sooner or

MULTIPLICATION OF LAW.

An extensive inquiry as to the obedience
yielded to the Interstate Commerce law
in the Northwest has recently been made
by the Chicago Tribune. The result is the
conclusion that violations of its provisions
are general and systematic. The evidence
to that effect might not be sufficient to
convict any railroad official in the courts,
but, as it comprises the belief of business
men, shippers and railroad officials that
drawbacks are paid and that favored
shippers control the traffic, it must have
considerable effect in forming public
opinion. That opinion is summarized by
the Tribune to the effect that rebates are
paid by every Western road and that the
Interstate act In this respect is COM
plete failure.
That means its enforcement is failure.
The provisions of the act are specific
enough against exactly these abuses, and
the penalties if enforced would stop them.
But, as The DISPATCH has said for some
time, these salutary provisions are becom-
ing dead letters simply because they are
not enforced. The power that overrode
and nulliied the common law provisions
against preferential rates before the Inter-
State Commerce law was passed is by this
showing demonstrating its ability to do
the same with the statute. In view of the
fact that any law will be failure if not
enforced it is well to maintain the distinc-
ton between the failure that results from
non-enforcement and the failure that is
inherent in the provisions of the act.
A singular example of the workings of
the human mind is afforded by the argu-
ment in corporate circles that, because of
this showing, pooling must be permitted.
The ability of corporate logic to jump to
the conclusion it wishes to reach, regard
less of premises, is afforded by the fact
that one of the provisions of the act which
has been notoriously violated is the section
against pooling. These rebates in viola
ton Of the act have been cotemporary
with the traffic pools organized in violation
of the same statute The fact that favorit-
ism in rates always has and always will
accompany pools and combinations is a
minor consideration to which the advocates
of pooling always rise superior.
The showing is a serious one both as in
dicating the disposition of great corporate
powers to ignore and nullify law, and as
showing the perpetuation Of the gravest
evils in transportation. If this process Of

as often not-a trial followed by a second, a
third and even a fourth or more, with final
result of the guilty being punished with
severity totally inadequate to the crime, or
escaping scot free to repeat the ofYense

why IS hanging played OUT? Partly from
the tendency OF the law to lean too much
toward the side of the accused, partly from
jurors untitled for their positions, but more
from a misplaced sympathy for the prisoner,

Is in prospect, shows itself in aggravated

New York Evening Sum-
Chicago has lust passed an ordinance au-

for introducing compressed air as a motor
This brings up the rivalry between COM
pressed air and electricity. Buffalo is inter-

receipt of electric power from Niagara Falls.
Now. the total cost of fuel in electric railway
work is only about 20 per cent of the total
operating expenses In electric lighting it
does not exceed from 15 to 20 per cent.
Wages and maintenance of plant, including
allowance for deterioration, make up tho
rest.
Transmission of power by compressed air

practical eff1ctencies OF different modes are
given by Carl Herring IN the Scientific Amer

is by transporting the GOAL. The efficiency

Crippled Railr0aders.
10 the EDITOR of The Dispatch

To the Editor of The Dispatch.
In the third annual report on statistics
of Railways in the United States" for the
year ending June S0 1890. it is stated that Of
the 29034 people killed and injured on rail-
ways during that year, 723S0 were employees,
and, as stated, the men engaged directly in
handling the trains are in the majority of
those injured by 5s per cent, or L. Ss6 for
that year, about 5000 alone being injured
while coupling or uncoupling cars, which,
of course, would be nearly all brakemen.
Now, Just here the question arises, what
comes of these crippled railroadersf What
do the railway companies or their officials
do for these poor unfortunates In the way of
situations by which they can earn an honest
livingf There are any amount of we'll
educated men employed on the railways as
brakemen, etc, who are well qualified to

its own after fashion for that time. A
significant statement if it is true, is made
in the Eastern papers to the effect that the
Standard controls 65 per cent of the re-
fined petroleum output. As it controlled
about s5 per cent year ago, the sinking
of its proportion to this percentage would
indicate that the cheapness of the petro-
leum was due to the failure rather than
the success of the Standard Trust.
If the percentage is accurate, of which
we are doubtful, the growth of the indie
pendent interest to s. per cent of the out
put might afford very good explanation
of the willingness to dissolve the Trust,
as recognition that the policy of buying
off competition has reached its limits
when there is no longer safe method of
choking it off.
