EDITORIAL CON nj ENTS,

New York Times: The American Iron
and Steel Association published two or
three weeks ago, in it's Bulletin, tables
showing that from January 1880, TO the
present time there has been "a steady
decline (of the prices OF American from
10 figures averaging forty per cent. be-
low those which prevailed at the begin
ming of this five-year period" and then
remarked that III this decline shall be
continued, nothing but bankruptcy and
ruin can be the fate Of many of our iron
and steel manufacturers" We have
heretofore pointed out that the associa-
ton, through the agency of its General
manager, persists in ignoring some of
the most influential natural causes of
this decline. such as the great reduction
Of the cost Of iron ore.

Texas contemporary, the Dallas News.

State met the Governor of the Sun

exclaimed, "By gatiins!" And as soon

NORTH ENID BURNED.

NORTH ENID, o. T., Sept. l8.-At 2
o'clock a. m, the Columbia drug store
and Kirk 81 Co.'S big wholesale and re-
tail grain establishment were found
ablaze. A heavy wind was blowing
from the northwest, and the city, hav.
ing no fire apparatus, buckets being
scare and wells scarcer, the frantic
people could but look at the devouring
flames in helpless horror. The sudden
shifting Of the wind saved a portion of
the town. Before the flames were un-
der control. however, the magnificent
Arlington hotel, just completed by
William Callahan, the railroad con
tractor, at q cost of $40, 900, was a total
loss, and the two score of guests in it
barely escaped with their lives, none of
them saving anything whatever.
T. s. Kirk 81 Co.'S wholesale and re-
tail grain house, the Columbia drug
store, owned by Oxley & Hewitt, and
f. w. Haylick's large furniture house,
j. G. McConnell's dry goods and gro

Thompson, Stevenson 81 Greer and j..
