 The work of the morning newspaper is never interrupted, while the work of the afternoon newspaper Is inter- rupted apparently and actually without injury to any one concerned whenever stated holiday puts in an appearance ] An Illustration is close at hand,
 Thanksgiving Day witnessed the sus- pension of the afternoon newspapers ! but demanded of the morning newspa- per, like The Morning Journal-C Courier that 1t continue its service Co the read ing public, It was called upon to work without reference to the bule- tin suggestions offered upon other days
 by the afternoon newspapers, and it the same time to present its usual com plete and corrected appearance the morning after An institution such as ] the morning newspaper is, which Is forbidden by the necessities of human life from indulgng in the restfulness of holidays, becomes thing of superior importance as compared with any other form of publication known to the print ing press,
 There are ways in which the after noon newspaper can and does make it. self invaluable to the reader, but they arc ways which are disconnected with

THE CASE OF CARNEGIE,

The Laird of skybo must by this time have concluded, unless the good will of his old iron and steel compan- ions is less to be desired than a con spicuous place in the lime light, that his magazine article on the tariff question comes under the head of overlooked Don'ts The faces which his old friends have been making at him must have cost him pretty sigh or else he does not care a rod apple what anybody thinks about his intel lectual exercises.
 But what are these things which his old companions are saving out loud and thinking SO intently upon that nearness to their presence suggests the rumbling of an earth quake? They say that he never knew anything about the practical side If the iron and steel business, and tat he knows less now than he knew then; that his job in the development Of the business related to it's financial end, and that there his genius radat- ed He could look well Into the bus
 mess aspect of the case and prepare for tllngs his associates could not see. They say that f)r congress to take his view of the relation of the tariff to tho steel business, from the standpoint of the necessities involved. would be like trusting children 10 manage the great steel corporation itself
 Having disposed of Mr. Carnegie as non-competont in a practical discuss sion of the needs of the steel business his old associates go at him from a personal point of view Toey declare 1 that he owes his fortune to the pro tective tariff and that 1t is, to say the least ungracious in him to attempt | to block n like prosperity for them. Having filled his dinner pail to the overnowing mark, 1t should be with l him a work of love to help i'll tleir pals instead of undertaking to spill | them over This and much more to the same effect would make the ears Of the ordinary man burn and blush, but how 1t is with Andrew he only can tell.

Named for Taft.
lsnrInrfield Rennhlican.

Springfield Republican,
 It is of course to be expected that the most popular name for tic new baby of that kind during the next four years will be William Howard Taft Jones or Smith The fashion had all ready begun when on MT Tafts famous trip to the Philippines three years ago 2 monkey was presented to one of the party and promptly but irreverently named for the partys distinguished head. But it Is news to learn that there is already 2 town called Taft in the Gnitd States, and a doubtful omen to learn further that the town has already been burned out twice in It's brief existence, Taft is near the Idaho Montana boundary, and Is reported to be the largest construction camp in the line of tho Milwaukee extension which is being pushed through to the Pacific coast To judge from the reports of saloons and other establishments de- stroved by the fire, Taft must as yet be a typical frontier settlement.
