in the construction of it's furnaces or in furnace practice during that last fifteen years. while the North and West have revolutionized their iron-making condi- tiops. On this scount Southern iron and steel making has not advanced as 1t should have done, but the conditions arc all there on which to found an industry equal to all that has been claimed for this section. Within the last twelve months a very marked change has taken place. The various iron companies in Alabama have been spending largo amount of money improving their fur naces, adding to their blowing capacity, reducing the cost of their mining opera tions, and in all ways getting themselves in shape to do better business and to make iron at a lower cost. But much re- mains to be done. It Is generally known that the new management of the Tennes- see Coal and Iron company is expending vast sums upon the improvement of that property and securing for its manage ment the ablest experts who can be had, recognizing the fact that the highest talent in iron making commands what would a few years ago have been con- sidered exorbitant salaries; but salaries count for little if the right men can be had. Under the policy which is now be- ing pursued by the Tennessee company of getting men who have been identified with the iron interests of the Carnegie company and other concerns, and whose furnace practice has been the best in the world, the whole iron industry of Alabama will be benefited. The work of that company will be a benefit to every other company, and it may be accepted that the iron and steel interests of Ala bama will make much more satisfactory progress in the future than in the past"

President has now been long enough re- tired from active public life for the acer- bities of political controversies to soften, and even his most earnest opponents in the past are steadily coming to recognize the sincerity, courage and patriotism which always dictated his course. MT. Cleveland should have many years yet before him, and he already has the as- surance that old age will be rendered happy by the general recognition that he was one of the strongest executives the nation has ever had.

Stormy Congress Expected.

Tt appears as if the present session of Congress" writes a gentleman from Washington, will be stormy and pro- longed on account of the proposed att tempt to cut down Southern representa- tion.

TO INSPECT DAIRY PRODUCTS.
The Act Regarding Exports to He
Made Effective

The act of Congress making appropria-
tons for the Department of Agriculture
for the fiscal year ending June 80. 1882.
contains a para graph in the section reIat-
ing TO the general work Of the Bureau Of
Animal Industry to the effect that the
Secretary of Agriculture may consJTue
the provisions Of the act of March >. 1891.
as amended March > 1895. for the fnspcC-
ton Of live cattle and products thereof
to include dairy products intended for ex-
poTtatiou to any foreign country, and may
apply, under rules and regulations to be
prescribed by him. the provisions of the
( act for inspection and certification ap-
propriate for asCertainiHg the purity and
quality OF such products, and may cause
them to be so marked. stamped, or label
ed as to secure their identity and make
known in the markets of foreign coun-
tries, to which they may be sent, their
purity. quality and grade
Discretionary authority is thus given TO
the Secretary of Agriculture to inaugU-
rate and regulate this new inspection ser
vice. In the exercise Of this discretion.
Secretary Wilson has decided to make a
beginning IN the customs districts of
Boston, New York. Chicago, and San
Francisco But instead OF entering i'm
. mcdiateiy upon Il preconccived system Of
active Inspection, a number OF weeks Will
be devoted to becoming familiar with all
the persons. conditions and circumstances
connected with the export dairy products
Of ali kinds from the four districts nam
ed. The necessary data can thus be com
prehensiveiy obtained for formulating
such regulations as may become ex9e-
dent for conducting this service.
The character and extent Of the inspec-
ton and ceTtifcation 20 be ultimately
made, may not be decided for some time
But it IS probable that at an early date
the owners or shippers Of products for
export may. upon application. have the
same marked and certified as to purity
and quality. provided they are above a
minimum grade, yet to be fixed \
The department has received numerous
letters from experienced merchants, both
foreign and domestic. as well as from
other reputable persons. urging that one
of the first rules to be esta bIished, be in
the interest of honesty IN trade, by aim
ing to prevent the export of package
marked in any way incorrectly or tend
/ ing to mislead or deceive buyers as to the
character of their products.
The Secretary Will erdeavor TO admin
lister this law in accordance with its clear
" expressed purpose to secure the iden-
tity and improve the reputation of dairy
products from the United States in the
markets of foreign countries.

in the United States English has sup

The circumstance that a major portion
of the population spoke English at the
time of the Revolution has had mUch
to do with this: but as no particular
pressure has been brought to bear. It
is hard to resist the conclusion that
there must be something Of dominating
force in the language itself A Ian
guage may be somewhat lacking in
symmetry. and still possess other eIe-
nents Of great strength That the En-
alish language Is forceful one Is very
generally admitted, and the average

pressions when he can do SO without
too much sacrifice of elegance The
truth is that English can De made both
elegant and strong. 1t is noteworthy
that foreigners of all nationalities
domiciled III America naturally drop
into the use of English even among
themselves. just as soon as they have
mastered the language sufficiently TO
make themselves fairly we'll under
stood
The tremendous growth Of the Amer
lean Republic has been the chief fac
tor in the increasing use of English:
but this, in itself, furnishes one Of the
strongest reasons fer believing that the
lead which the language has obtained
Will be kept and even increased It is
spreading out from two great centres
of population, both largely engaged IN
Commerce and carrying their language

quarters Of the globe English is now

Lewis. of New York, the State Commits
sioner Of Health. recently published a
statement in relation to his plans for q
census and allied data of consumption
in the State These plans are now to be
executed, and there has Just been sent
out from the central office here of the
State Department of Health the following
request signed by Dr.. Lewis:
The blanks which are herewith encIos-
ed are being sent to the members of the
medical profession Of the State of New
York by the State Department of Health
for the purpose of obtaining some fuuda-
mental facts regarding pulmonary tuber-
cuICsis.
We wish to learn with such accuracy
as possible the number of the population
of the State thus affected In addition to
this. as a secondary consideration, we
would like to learn something of the COZ
ditions which surround them. as indicated
by the questions, as they may apply to
individual localities. 1t is not our pur-
pose to obtain a personal registry of con-
sumption nor to institute d system of
sanitary inspection or isolation. We wish
only to accumulate data along the lines
indicated, which viii make our knowI-
edge of the problem before US in our
State more definite for the control of this
great source of mortality
The medical profession is fully aware
of its Importance, and we count with con-
fidence on the cooperation Of everyone
to whom this is sent. not only to contrib
ute the information at his command that
the questions indicate. but to give such
further facts soT add such suggestions as
may seem TO him important.
1t was at first planned to secure this
information through the health officers:
We relieve them of this task by address
ing ourselves directly to individuals. but
would ask their official help to make the
work complete
May we ask each one to rot fail in re-

this somewhat costly enterprise?"
