It isa priee at which they can be made ata profit by few mills, and is $11 below the December market. The reduction has caused the railroads to place orders liberally and the Carnegie company is said to have booked enough orders in twenty- four hours to keep its plant running fora year. Ltis probable that the re‘tuction in price of the rails will render it necessary for many factories to cut the price of labor somewhat, but it is believed the increased busi- ness will compensate the loss. The Carnegie company, by reason of its connection with the Rockefellers’ in postion to terests, is probably}! make a lower price and still retain a any margin of profit, than other company in the United States.

They will of course make no claim to a philanthropic turn of mind in that connection, What they do will not be done with the sole view of the advancement of the city. It will be done witha view to a reasonable return upon the in- vestment made. But it will all the same redound to the immense ad- vantage of the material interests of the city and will effectually give the lie to the rumors that have so frequently gained currency through the panicky imaginations of unthink- ing and unreasoning people, some- times those in position to be better informed, Let us just wait a little and ‘‘see what we shall see.’’ Sven articles as the *+Register’s’” leader of this morning are calculated to foster a spirit of mob law and a disrespect far the powers that be.

It is doubtful whether it is well for several hundred citizens to become murderers when the law pro- vides an adequate method of trial And there is ab- solutely no ground for the strictures upon the court made by the ‘Regis. ter’? and the Covington ‘‘Common- wealth,’’ which is quoted approving- ly, There was no necessity of a trial, the prisoner, after ad- vice from his attorney, having pleaded guilty.
