TWO DISAPPOINTED BOSSES

From the New York Evening Post.
Next to Platt Quay Is the boss most dis
appointed at the result of the speakership
contest. The head of the Pennsylvania ma
chine hoped that a deal might be made
through which ne could throw the support
of the states delegation to some candidate
whose friends in the senate would in return
help Quay in his struggle to be seated upon
the appointment of the governor. More
over, Quay, like Platt, wanted a man in
the speakers chair who would feel under
obligation to the bosses, and who could be
depended upon to recognize that obligation
whenever they should put on the screws"
Incidentally he hoped to get the clerkship
of the house for a personal follower. But
es things have turned out, General Hen
derson gets the place without any help
from Quay, and there has been no chance
even to trade the clerkship for the support
of the Pennsylvania delegation.

Alahama's Editors.

This town will hold today fully one hum
dred editors of Alabama papers. These
men do not edit Georgia papers or Tennes-
see papers, but Alabama papers, and Biz
mingham warmly gives them welcome, for
Birmingham is an Alabama town from
center to circumference. In high official
circles and among the esteemed repealists
efforts have been made to discredt the
influence of the Alabama press; heelers
have sent out postal cards bearing the
fateful question, "What influence has the
press. anyway" but here in Birmingham
no such heresy has a foothold. All here
recognize in the papers of Alabama pow
erful factor for the states upbuilding
and welfare. All the people of this city
believe the press of tho state is fully rep
resentative and fully as influential at
least as some of it's detractors.
But the members of the Alabama Press
association meet here today as business
and social body, and they will, let us hope,
enjoy to the fullest extent the summer
resort air of this locality, and will be glad
to return to it after a vacation spent in
the prostrating heats of Niagara Falls,
and Lake Chautauqua, and the Rhine dis
trict of Cincinnati. They will meet a warm
welcome everywhere, but as for pure ozone
of the most bracing sort they will find
none that is equal to the article that is
blown up and down Jones valley.
The greater part of today will be given
over to the business of the association,
but tonight the editors of Alabama will be
Eat home in the rooms of the Commercial
club, where they will be ready to receive
their friends. The people of this city
heartily welcome them, and bid them get

fort that they have richly earned in their
devotion to the state and all of it's varied
interests.

The Iron Poom-WiII II Last?

The Manufacturers Record has solicited
answers from iron masters and other iron
experts touching the probable duration of
the remarkable activity ana prosperity of
the iron and steel interests. The answers
obtained uphold the belief that the period
Of prosperity will be prolonged Mr.. Abram
S. Hewitt thinks production can not catch
up with consumption in less than two or
three years and even then the change from
iron to steel may lead to high degree of
prosperity in the iron trade in this country,
because this country Is to furnish the
worlds supply of steel. The world is now
consuming 35, 900 900 tons of pig iron a year,
but in the course of fifty years it will need
10o0OO000 tons year.
Mr. Gary president of the Federal Steel
company thinks the Increased use of iron
and steel will keep American mills busy
'for several years. The export trade will
be further developed. He in fact looks for
further expansion during tho coming ten
years. Messrs Rogers, Brown & Co. sup
port this view of the situation The use of
iron In Asia is rapidly increasing. and our
foreign trade will soon make a return to
the depression and dulness of past years
impossible. The president of one of the
largest steel companies thinks an active
business will remain to us through "sey-
eral years" He bases this belief on the
development of foreign trade.
The Harlan and Holingsworth company,
ship builders, are confident that the period
of increased consumption will last for two
years at least. and the Baldwin Locomotive
people are equally confident Some large
dealers. however think prices are so high
that there will be a reaction, but these con-
servatives believe fair basis will be
reached, which will be followed by years
of good trade. President Bush, OF Admission,
bases his expectations OF prosperity upon
continuous widening of foreign markets for
ali Of our products. While the cost OF pro-
duetion will be increased elsewhere, the
southern iron companies will continue, says
Mr.. Bush, ito produce iron with but little

Increase In cost for some time to come"
President Linderman. of the Bethlehem
Iron Works, sees no prospect of catching
up with the immense demand this year or
the next" Tho home demand Is so large
it is impossible to do anything for the for
eign markets. which are wide open to u.s.
President Jos. Bryan. of the Richmond
Locomotive Works, says: THE enormous
increase in the uses of iron and steel is not
likely to be abated. but methods of civil
ization will be carried into all countries
which can be reached by trade, and
look for continuous increase of the pro-
duetion of iron in the United States, and
when low prices come again, as they in
evitably will, an excessive depression will
be checkmated by an increase of consump-
ton throughout the world"
