The Wool Market.

The New York Economist looks up
ON the present prices of wool as dam
gerous to the manufacturers. Itspeaks
of buyers "sitting on the rail fences of
the West waiting for the wool to be
shorn, and at the same time, perhaps,
to get shorn themselves" 1t goes on
to remark that sin Ohio, especially in
the Eastern and all the coed wool
growing sections, everything offered is
bought up by local and Eastern dealers
at 40 cents, while the best woods are
held out of the market for "A and As
cents"
"In reply to telegram from this re-
gion 10 leading house here to-day,
the following answer has been sent out
to their buyer: The quotations you
telegraph are ridiculous. Don't waste
a moments time, as it seems hopeless
doing anything to advantage at pres
ent, Set your wires for future opera
tions and come back unless there is an
chauge.' Well, the imne-
diate change seems to be getting worse
every moment Buyers were Like
bees, every where in swarms, and the
local dealers were buying everything
they could secure below 40 cents.
Some were paying more, and
even at AZ cents buyers were
operating on Eastern If not West

SENATOR STANLEY MATTHEWS Is
confident of Republican victory in
Ohio this fkll. He says there is not the
slightest doubt about the result of the
election, and that the Republicans are
certain to carry not only the guberna-
torial, but the legislative ticket. The
silver question will absorb all other is
sues in the campaign, but the Republi-
can Convention will adopt as plank
in the platform resolution declaring
in favor of the reconciliation ofsilver,
which will be acceptable to all Repub-
licans disposed to be dissatisfied on ac-
count of the financial outlook. The
very pronounced policy whichSecretary
Sherman is pursuiDg in relation TO the
resumption of specie payments, Mr..
Matthews thinks, will have an injurious
effect upon the party and probably
create considerable discussion. This
will lose the party more votes, Mr..
Matthews thinks, than the Presidents
Southern policy. and If defeat does
overtake the party, it will be attribut-
able to the financial policy now being
pursued. In regard to the Presidents
Southern policy, the opposition is daily
growing weaker, and by the time the
election occurs all evidences will have
disappeared. ,....--.

wool the Economist says that "thel
scramble for it has commenced and we
know not when it will end.r 1t notes
q movement in Texeas and California
woods in the Eastern markets. &
= Choice wool is sought after while low
is not much wanted. Considerable
sales of Austr allan have taken place at
prices which have yielded no profit to
importers. Considerable Cape wool is
now offered ut quite low prices. In
fact, wool is about at importing point,
and no profit of considerable moment
can be made in fleece wool at present;
what the future will develop we know
not. With a reduction in the tariff, We
could look for an abundance of low
wool from abroad, 10 fact, it will come
anyway, tariff or no tariff, and If man
ufacturers rest content under the bur-
den they bear, why, well and good, no
one can be blamed for losses, but asgoods
are now selling, we certainly are at a
loss to know how things are coming
out for the emanufacturerS. With any
advance in raw maferial,s . why should
they not be able to avail themselves Ol
choice wool of other countries rather
than use much of the rubbish they now
are obliged to make use of, such as the
short six months wool, of which sc
much is grown in the States west o
the Mississippi.

THEslowness of war movements in
Europe detracts largely from American
interest in them, but ii is ut least evil
dent that the time for rumors of peace
has passed, and that the fierce and
bloody strife cannot be much longer de-
layed, The hope of peace negotiations
previous to desperate and general fight
ing, to which England has teDaciously
chung, has been abandoned, and it is
altogeter probable that the Russian
armies will attempt the crossing of the
Danube at the earliest practicable mo-
nIent. The undertaking must be a
tremendous one, notwithstanding the
immensity Of the forces of the invaders
aud the magnitude of their military
preparations. As the Turks are now
showing in Asia they i'll fight heroic
ally behird their Notifications, aud
their positions along the Danuoe are
of great strength. 1t is very difficult
to pierce the cloud that envelops move
uents or the other side of the Black
Sea-. Whether the Russis ms have sat
down to prolonged siege of Kars or are
still pushing forward with Erzeroum
and Batoum as immediate objective
points it is impossible to say, but that
events of much significance are taking
place on the Armenian plateau ls un.

SOME of our Democratic contempor,

SOME of our Democratic contempora-
ries are rejoicing, with frankness
which would be more creditable i'm a
better cause, over the failure Of the Ell
tenton rs. C.) riot trials. They assure
us that this result shows that the Re-
construction laws are no longer of any
value; that they can only be admins
tered by packed juries; that in commu-
ties where the jurors are drawn In part
from class which utterly rejects the
laws as either just or polite, no convic.
tion can be obtained. There is, doubt.
less, a good deal of truth. in these oh.
servations, but we can understand how
a really patriotic citizen, even of South
Carolina, should regret their truth
rather than take pleasure in IL. The
Reconstruction laws, much as they
have been deserted, had very lsuda-
BILE purpose. They were intended 10
secure the political rights of a depen-
dent class against violent Infringement
by a superior class. The machinery
they SET at work was the best our Gov.
ernment could command. They fail
now simply because the white jurors
are incapable from prejudice Of fairly
and honestly weighing evidence
against men of their own sort, no mat
Ter how strong it is. Such state OF
things may fiatter the passions Of
in which it exists, but IL Is
certainly an indication Of low grade
of civil virtue.-N. Y. Times.

'What every body says must be
True." 80 -

The incontrovertable testimony offered by
those who have used DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription induced the doctor to sell it un-
der positive guarantee. Many ladies have
refrained from using it on account of general
feeling of prejudice against advertised medi-
cines. Let me ask question. Are you pre-
judiced against sewing machines because you
have seen them advertised? OF can you doubt
the ingenuity and skill required in their inven-
ton? Again, would you refuse to insure your
house because the company advertised that ii
had paid millions in losses, and yet had a
capital of several millionsp Do such advertise
mems shake your confidence, and create pre-
judices? Then why refuse to credit the testi-
mony of those who have found the Favorite
Prescription to be all that is claimed for it in
overcoming those ailments peculiar to your
sex? Why submit to the use of harsh, and
perhaps caustic treatment, thus aggra waiting
your malady, when relief is guaranteed, and a
positive, perfect, and permanent cure has been
effec'ed in thousands of cases? s.; y

A WAsHINGToS special to the Cin-|
cinnsti Times of Friday, says:
Chief Justice Waite, who has Just re-
turned from the South, where he has
been holding Circuit Court, says that
he remained in Charleston, s. G., three
weeks, and during that time not one
social call was made upon him or his
daughter, who was with him, by the
old citizens of that place. He was
completely ignored ex-rebel element,
and was treated by the society OF
Charleston more like an Outcast and
criminal than a gentleman and the
highest judicial officer in the Govern
tment. He was not pleased with his
Charleston experience, and his views
as to the rebels in South Carolina hav-
ing become thoroughly reconstructed
and disposed to accept in good faith
the situation, have been materially
modified. There is much Indignation
here among Judge Waite's friends, at
the treatment accorded him, and the
President and members of the Cabinet
seem greatly astonished.
1 In regard to the triad of the Ellenton
rioters, Judge Wsite's friends say thai
he expresses the opinion that the evi
dence was conclusive as to the guilt o
some of them, and that conviction
should have followed.
