FALIIN THE Prices or STEEL

The fall in prices of about all kinds OF
steel products is surprising to the spocu-
lators in the shares Of the steel trusts 1t
was said few weeks ago ttat the iron
and steel trusts had orders enough ahead
to keep them busy for six months. Il was
on statements ike this that the prices of
steel trust stocks advanced Now 1t ap-
pears that there have been such a cancel
ing and falling Off of orders that some OF
the big steel mills have been shut down.
on Monday twelve mills of the American
Steel and Wire Company We're closed. and
over 10000 men thrown out of employ
ment.
There is talk of cutting prices and of a
war between the different steel trusts.
Steel rails. for instance. have been quoted
until within the last few days, at S34 Der
ton. Now II is said that one large manu-
facturer threatens to enter the market
and offer them at S2j per ton.
The claim is made that there has been
over reduction, and that consequently
prices win have 10 como down a great

WHEN TECK TREKKED.

Mr.. Labouchere, Mr.. Stead or some
other English iconoclast has said that the
British soldiers in South Africa are lions
led by asses" There have been many I'M
toward incidents in the campaign which
give point to the rather severe criticism.
What was said was not meant, of course,
to apply to Roberts, or Kitchener, but to
many of the colonies and captains and
other minor officers who are from time to
time assigned to the command of detach-
ments sent on special service; such as
those which with such disheartening fire.
quency have been cut off and captured by
the Beers. Too many men, it is alleged,
have been given commissions for the sole
reason that they are sons of somebody"
and had the ambition to shine in society
as war heroes. Such persons, lacking al
most totally in soldierly qualities and en-
tirely in the ability 10 command troops in
close quarters, have been forced upon the
commanders by the politicians at home.
A case in point is that of Prince Adolf
plus of Teck, which Is being discussed in
the newspapers of probably every coun-
try save England. On account Of his con.
nection with royalty the facts respecting
him have been suppressed in Great Brit
ain, by the British correspondents and
the communicating in the field But
the correspondents of other nationalities
are not so considerate. They have no
hesitation in saying that Prince Adolphus
showed such cowardice in action as would
have caused any officer of less distin-
guished connections to Ice shot He was
in command of the British convoy that
was captured by the Beers at Korn spruit,
in the Orange Free State, on March 81.
Finding that his men were in a desperate
situation and that the Beers were at
lacking fiercely, it is said the Prince in
gloriously ran away, leaving his men to
take care of themselves as best they
might He cared not what went with his
soldiers SO that he preserved his own skin
whole. He escaped, but his command
was captured He is the brother of the
Duchess of York, whose husband is heir
presumpuve to the throne of England
therefore he escapes courtmarUal and
public condemnation throughout the en-
pire.
This is probably the most notable ex-
ample illustrating how the British army
in South Africa is Handicapped by in
competents in office, but there can be no
doubt that there is a great deal of that
kind Of thing. We had TO contend against
che same evil during our war with SPAIN
but the chances are that we had less OF
it than the British army is having, since
| there is no hereditarily privileged class in
our country to demand preferment.

NATIONAL QUARANTINE BILLS.

The indications are that Congress will
adjourn carly in June. In the few weeks
remaining OF the session very little will be
done beyond passing the regular appropri-
alton bills. Those who were hoping and
expecting that here would be legislation
that would practically put an end to what
is known as shotgun quarantine are DOOM
ed to disappointment
The quarantine question is before Con-
gress. Two new quarantine bills have
been introduced this session. 1t is prob
able chat the Caffery and Spooner bills
of last session have also been introduced.
The new bills are known as The Mahon
bill and the Marine Hospital Service bin.
The former was introduced into the House
by Representative Mahon and the latter
into the Senate by Senator Vest. The
Mahbn bill is somewhat similar 40 the
Spooner bill. II aims TO create q health
commission or bureau which shall be con-
trolled by representatives, from each state
and territory. 1t would, be a very good
sort of an institution theoretically, but
1t is doubtful If 1t would be found TO be
satisfactory in practice The bill intro
duced by Senator Vest simply increases
the powers of the Marine Hospital Ser
vice. Il seems TO us that more could be
accomplished through the fundamentally
of the Marine Hospital Service than of a
health commission.
The obstacles in the way of national
quarantine legislation are very great The
states object to giving up any of their
rights, and il is practically impossible for
the general government to take control
of inland quarantine unless the states
make concessions. What the South wants
is system of quarantine that viii pre-
vent justices Of the peace and cross roads
health authorities from blocking inter
state commerce whenever there is a re-
port of case of yellow fever in New Or
leans or other Southern city.
At present it is in the power of a viii
lage doctor to tie up the trains of a great
interstate railway. One county may con-
sent for a railway train from a place al
legged to be infected with yellow fever
to pass through its territory and
another may object thus bringing
travel and traffic to a halt And there
may not be the least danger from passing
trains. 1t is certainly time that some
thing was done to put a stop to such
a condition of affairs The great loss
following the appearance of yellow fever
anywhere in the South is due almost who'll
ly to the shotgun guarantees, which par
alyze the transportation lines. Surely
legislation providing for intelligent quar-
antine-quarantine chat would not stop
traffic-is possible This is a matter of
vital interest to the South, and Southern
congressman should take hold of it with
the determination of giving the South the
needed relief

From the Chicago Times Herald.
A rich mans little daughter
Left her nurse and strayed away,
And ran out upon the car track,
Where she loitered long at play,
Caring nothing for the trolley
AS it whirred around the bend
knowing nothing Ct the angel
That was waiting to descend.
The rich man stood and tremb,ed
With his darling on his brtas',
And the motorman was laudl
And his hands were proudly pressed,
BY a hairs brsadth he had saved her
He had acted just in time
And the people called him noble,
And pronounced his deed sublime
The rich man gave him money,
Gave him land and gave him praise.
Gave him presents for his children,
Made him glad in many ways.
And. at night. knelt with his darling
And implored the Lord to guide
The brave motorman from danger
And to save him when he died.
The rich mans little daughter
Lay upon her bed one day,
Ard her lips were parched with fever.
And all hope had ebbed away,
But doctor watched and waited,
Watched through weary nights, and
won
Back the little maiden's roses
Ere his trying task was done
He had left his bed at midnight.
lie had watched with weary eyes:
He had braved the fiercest weather.
Signing when he heard her signs,
And he goried in his triumph
When he saw her smiles come back,
Even as he smiled who saved her
Where she played upon the track.
But no crowd pressed round the doctor.
And no happy cheers were heard;
He had done "A thing that's common,
Nothing thrilling had occurred
Aud the rich man fumed like fury
When he got the Doctors bill
Which he called an outrage-lawyers
Have the matter going still.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York Evening Post Qnd) says:
zone aspect of Admiral Deweys candi
dacy is evidently troubling the Repub-
lican magnates not little. They see that
they are robbed of taking answer to all
objections TO Mr.. McKinley's Philippine
policy They had expected TO be able to
give one loud yell of Dewey ali over the
land, and thereby silence every opponent.
Did he assert that Mckinley had blum
dered? 'Hurrah for Dewey Was it
charged that the war with the Fiipinos
might have been avoided? George
Dewey Dared any man say that firm
er, wiser President could have prevented
the wretched dragging on of wretched
war Dewey's guns Bur that beaun-
full political logic is now destroyed by the
Admirals own act in announcing his cppo-
sition to McKinley's reelection. Even
that formidable argument, the flag" is
endangered. How can 1t be said that ev-
cry one opposed to Mckinley is disloyal to
the flag, when there is the honored Ad-
miral himself in opposition? With one
form Of claprap after another thus rem
dered unavala bic, it begins to look as If
Republican orators would have to pay
some respect to fact and logic. This hor-
rib,e outlook is enough TO account for their
obvious depression of spirits"
