Early Iron Making in America.

y little over 800 years marks the interval
between the present time and the reputed
discovery Of iron ore in North America, the
first recorded shipment of which was in
Ices, but the earliest attempted known use
OF the mineral locally was in 1922. How
ever, successful practical iron manufacture
in the United States has a history OF less
than two and half centuries. and as Eu-
rOpean methods were introduced ana Eu-
rOpcan specialists employed American iron
manufacture did not pass through the prim-
tive methods Of open heaps and low mud
furnaces some OF which antedate the
Christian era 1t is probable that all of the
iron produced in America was obtained
either from blast furnaces or modified Ca
ITALIAN forge fires, and that these were ac-
tuated by blast supplied by other than
sible to find in various portions OF the
world all methods Of iron production from
the open heap to the modern blast furnace,
blown by all types of pneumatic appara tus,
ranging from the skins of animals sewed
into bags and trOdden by the workers feet,
or the tubes Of bamboo, whose pistons are
alternately actuated by the arms legs
of attendants, to a massive blowing en-
CINE driven by steam, in the area covered
by the United States no appliances are
known to have been used cruder than are
represented by the forge of blast furnace

leather bellows, actuated by a water wheel,
or the trOmpe. into the tubs of which a
column of falling water drew air and forced
it under pressure from a winGbON.-John

GREAT NEWS GATHERING.
How the Associated Press Covered

The rapidity in the gathering Of the
New York City and state election returns,
as reported by the Associated Press cleo

the history of news organization. The
polls closed at 4 O'Clock. The bulletin an

Making MIR. Cleveland a scapegoat.

1t is rather amusing to see some demo-
Gratis trying to throw the entire blame of
defeat on Mr.. Cleveland. It's all Cleve-
lands fault" shout Mr.. Clark Howell and
Mr. Henry WattersOn in full cry.
On the contrary, we consider that Mr..
Cleveland has kept the democratic party
afioat the past three years, and that in
stead Of making him a scapegOat demo-
Gratis should thank him for what he has
done for them.
Was it not Mr.. Cleveland who prevent
ed disastrous surrender Of the party to
the silver fanatics in the fight for the
repeal of the iniquitous silver-purchase
law?
Was it not Mr. Cleveland who wrote to
Chairman Wilson during the tariff agita-
ton last summer, You know how much
l deprecated the incorporation in the pro-
posed bill of the income tax featurs?"
Was it not Mr.. Cleveland who in the
same ringing letter protested against the
Gorman-sugar trust compromise, declared
that 1.-The continuance of democratic eX-
istence" was at stake, and asked how
can we face the people" after falling to
keep the pledges of the party to them?
If the democrats had followed the lead
of Mr.. Cleveland they would not now be
trying TO shift the responsibility onto his
shoulders. AS it is. they ought TO feel
grateful to him that their defeat was no
worse.-N. Y. Herald.
