The New Orleans Customhouse
is filled up with about the most in
fnitessimal specimens of the poll
tician that could be found. These
worthless, who all hold Office from
John Sherman, were, of course, his
warm supporters for the nomina-
ton at Chicago. Yet when the Re
publican State Convention met, and
the Grant element bolted, the Gus
tomhouse leaders lacked the cour-
age to elect Sherman delegation,
and consequently their master only
received six votes from this State,
when be should have had sixteen
if his ofiice-holders had possessed
the necessary pluck. Considering
the situation, we shall not be snr-
prised if Sherman makes some sud-
den changes in the Customhouse.

We see that l.. A. Sheldon was
one of the crowd of toadies who
followed Garfield from Chicago to
Ohio. This Sheldon used to be a
carpet-bag Congressman from this
State, and he voted seven times for
the Congressional salary grab before
he got his hand in the Treasury,
and Garfield did the same thing.
On this trip to Ohio Sheldon made
several windy speeches, in which be
Endorsed Garfield as patriot. states
man, and an honest man. We have
heard of horse thieves giving
one another a certificate of charac-
ter, but perhaps this is the first
case on record where one Congress
sional salary grabber has Endorsed
another as honest.

WOOL.

We clip the following from the
Wool Growers Bulletin:
In nearly every agricultural
journal we pick up is found some
thing on washing sheep and we
are often asked the above question
bv letters. With the experience
we have had from the time, as
bare-footed boy, we drove the flock
to the "sheep DAM" then in shear
ing and i'll selling, and more recent
|-ly in handling wool in a wool house,
and being thus thrown among all
classes of wool BUYERS, We should
say to wool growers. do not wash
your wool on the sleeps back.
We are also asked the question,
Had I best wash my wool on the
sleeps back or tub-wash it?' We
should answer to this, If yon wash
at all, wash on the sleeps back.
Wool cannot be washed in q tub
with cold water, and to wash with
soap and warm water requires to
be done bv some one who under
stands it. There is no danger OF in
juring the fibre by ''fulling or felt
ing, and of setting the grease" so
that manufacturer has more
trouble in securing than if it had
not been washed at all. In fnct tho
washing of the wool by the grower
does not relieve the manufacturer of
any labor to speak OF. The wool
has to be secured. We should then
say it is better for all concerned
tibet the grower should not attempt
TO wash his wool.
All produce and merchandise
seems 10 be Oh the decline. Wool,
wlie declining with the rest, still
holds comparatively strong posi-
ton. Many persons blame the iron
men for being the cause of all this
Decentralization of the market in al
lowing iron to run up or rather put
Ting it up to a point where they
could not hold it, and being one of
the great products of our country
rs well as entering largely into
merchandise, dragged everything
! down with it. We are of those
wEo think that wool is one of the
articles that can stand upon its own
| feet. and as soon us it can recover
from the general tn,uble, we may
look ont Tor reaction and strength
ening of prices.

Congress has adjourned without
passing law paying pensions to
the surviving soldiers of the Mexi-
can war. This is disgrace to the
country, and one that cannot be
excused by saying that republics
are unsrateful" There are only a
remnant of the heroes of the Mexi-
can war living, many of them are in
poverty, and they are all old.
Their valor added untold millions
to the agricultural and mineral
wealth of the United States, and it
is a most selfish proceeding, on the
part of Congress, to deny these de-
caying heroes pension.

The claim put forth by Republic
can papers that Garfield is excep-
tionally strong in Ohio does not
bear the test Of fact. In 1874 he
ran 1890 votes behind :he Republi-

State; in the year 1876 Garfield
received 1748 votes less than the
State ticket, ami in 1879 Foster
received 4763 votes more in the dis
trict than Garfield received in 1878.
1t is in the Western Reserve that
