what became of the Editorial.

CfrOm the New Orleans Times DcmoCrIt.)
An old newspaper man tells a story
about Col. ]. F. Barton. The colonel was
a Southern man; he died in Alabama in
%. and dozen years ago he was famous
throughout the Middle West as an editorial
writer of great power and versatility. The
unusual thing about him was that his nor
mai penmanship looked almost like copper
plata beautiful flowing script but let
him get excited or hurried, and il double
discounts the chicken tracks on Cleopa-
tra's needle. There used to be funny
story about him, current among printers.
One night. according to the yarn. a tramp
printer drilted into a Western office where
the colonel was in charge, and applied for
job. The foreman put him to work and
he pegged along all right until just before
the hour for going TO press when Barton
sent in hurry-up editorial based ON late
news telegram Nearly all the printers
had left, so the new man got a piece of the
copy, a page from about the middle He
carried 1t to his case. looked at 1t, frown-
ingly, turned it upside down looked at il

REDUCING THE GRADE.
Many Changes Being Made at Doe
Gully Curves.

About half way between Cumberland and
Martinsburg. on the second division of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, is a pic
turesque spot known as Doe Gully There
is quite little hill at this point that the
road goes through, and the approaches to
this tunnel include several reverse curves.
The company has been engaged for the
past TWO months in removing these curves
and reducing the grades.
The chief engineer says that the i'm
provement will do away with one of the
most Objectionable pieces of track on the
second division since Seven Curves were
eliminated, and viii remove four reverse
curves. II will not only make much bet
ter riding track for fast trains. but ma
terially assist the westbOund freights in
climbing this grade.

Output OF

OF course this means that producers cf
American iron and steel have found new
and larger outlets for their material i'll
other industries than railway building
One outlet may now be accounted the
making OF steel rails for export. For
American steel rails are now being sup
piled on contract to British India Russian
Asia tthe Trans Siberian line). the West
Indies Nova Scotia, and Canada generally,
South Africa, Hawaii. and even Ireland.
In one month last year the two largest
steel rail companies are said TO have book

was for export Nor is this surprising. TO-.
prices in America under the stress of con
stantly expanding competition) have been
coming down as they have been going up
in Europe. Thus in 1896, the price OF steel
rails was Go per ton in the United States.

Great Britain In 1898 the current prices
were % lss in the United States. 50 lSs.

ain. The reduction in America is not due
to competition alone. but largely to the re-
duced cost of material and greater econO-
my in production.
1t is. of course, the reduced cost of pro-
duction that has given America chance
in foreign markets that she never had be-
fore. The surplus OF many American man
ufacturerS has been often enough dump
ed into foreign countries-espscially Can
ada-in order TO relieve the home markets.
But the business now being done by Amer
leans in iron and steel cannot be regarded
as the dumping character. They are cul-
tivating an export trade. and with such
success that in the year ending June 80
last the exports OF raw and manufactur
ed iron and steel amounted to $40. 36T 52I.
as against s57, 497, ,S72 in the previous year.
These exports consisted of 1858 tons of
pig iron. 49,, ,552 tons of railway iron. "a
745 tons of iron wire. 60, 1873 tons of scrap
iron. 80. $50 tons of structural iron. AMI
l6 100 tons OF steel billets and ingots. The
total quantity of all sorts sent to Great
Britain was l50 600 tons. and nearly all the
rest was sent to countries accustomed
hitherto 10 buy from us. In the nine
months ending September 80 the exports
of steel rails amounted to 222 1913 tons. val

responding portion of 1897. and with So
S4l tons and 81 iS9, ,106 in the correspond
ing part of 1896
The largest buyers of the increased
quantity have been Canada and Japan:
and it is well to remember that it was
stated in Parliament last session that the
the Indian railways were American. As
