In spite of the dul1ness in the iron trade
the Southern iron-nakers seem to be keep
ing busy.
The total shipments of pig iron from
Alabama and Tennessee in August amount
ed 10 $500 tons against ISL, 296 tons in -Au-
gust year ago. The total amount of pipe
shipped from the same territory amounted
to 7,1e4 tons against 1880 tons the same
month last year.
The Chattanooga Times says: THE daily
knifinss and shoot;ngs in this town, and
the dallying OF the petty courts with the
murderous criminals, has become an in
Solerable nuisance. To send such felons to
the chain gang, or turn them loose on
bond-these are only less offenses against
society than those shooters and knifers
commit Such tenderness encourages the
toughs who go about with dirks and guns
on them, ready to do murder on small
provocatiou, or out Of a drunken fancy
that the incipient criminal has been in
suited. The good people OF Chattanooga
demand that this 1nonotonous epidemic of
violence shall be checked by the strong
hand OF the law, welded by the ministers

THE worK or THE GHouls.

As soon as the news of the Galveston
storm was Biographical to the newspapers
the New York World gathered together
quantity of clothing and provisions,
loaded the articles on a train and started
them to the relief Of the sufferers.
When we saw this announcement, we
could not but think that this was another
one of The lvorld's $. fake advertising
schemes. and that suspicion resolved
itself into a self-evident fact, when the
World of Wednesday last appeared On
the front page of the paper is snowy
picture representing the Worlds train
and showing the men in the act OF I'M
loading the various articles on the cars.
Then follows in flashy type description
of the train ard an enumeration OF the
articles shipped. The train went on It's
way labelled in letters, which ran from
one end of the car TO the other, New
York Worlds Galveston Relief Train
The New York Journal went the World
one better, and advertised its generosity
by means of ship>instead of a train.
Was there ever since Christian ciVili-
cation dawned more disgusting spec
tacle than this, The Galveston calamity
was the most heartrendlng OF the century
and yet these yellow journals of New
York take advantage Of the occasion to
advertise themselves from New York to
Texas.
More horrible than the calamity itself
was the shoulish carnival which followed.
Hundreds of brutes in human form
went about the city and robbed the dead
OF their effects, cutting off fingers and
ears and generally mutilating the bodies
in order that they might get possession
of articles of jewelry. worn by the victims
of the storm. But after all what is the
difference between the acts of these
hrntes and the acls of the New York
Yellow Journals? The shouls took ad-
vantage of the occasion to put money
into their pockets and SO did these dis
gusting New York newspapers. The motive
was the same. 1t was greed OF gain. and
Whatever the method employed, the pur-
pose of ghonls and yellow journals was
to turn this calamity to their profit.
