The official statistics Of the number Of
pounds Of wool shorn in the United States
and the average weight Of Geeees for 1880
is somewhat misleading. The weight OF
fleece represents IN unknown quantity OF
wool. In some parts Of the country the
wool Is washed on the sheep before shear
ing. In other parts it Is taken OF IN the
dirt. There is also great difference in
the shrinkage OF the wool Of the various
breeds Of sheep, where the conditions are
the same, in preparing ii for manufacturing
purposes.
The sheep Of West Virginia, outside the
Panhandle, are mainly what are known us
native sheep and their crosses, light.
tleeced, coarse, open.woOled sheep; but
shrinks much less than any OF fine woods
These are the sheep mainly OF the old
slave Suites, and it accounts for the low
average weight Of fleece. In New Mexico
they have the Mexican sheep, a still lighter
shearer,a and in Vermont the greasy Spanish.
When wool comes down to hard.pan il
will not only put the business on soldier
footing, but make its statistics more valua.
bic. Wool, unmixed, with dirt, must uiti-
mately be made the standard, both in trade
and statistics. W.C.S.

UNDER WHICH FLAG, JEWErT .

The journalistic admirers of Jewett
Adams hold him up to the people assn
anti-railroad MN whose held front
awes and terrifies the monopoIies. Yet
cut in Nye county lives ex-senator
Williams, man who has bigger,
broader and better anti-monopoiy record
than anybody who can be named.
When given an opportunity to hack up
his views by his official acts he stood
the test, and his record is without 4
flaw. There was general feeling
among the Democrats few months
ago that Williams would make strong
nan far Gubernatorial nomination,
but Adams, who had the wires laid
nearly two years ago, squelched the
movement by the usual "stil! hunt
process, method Of political warfare
Peculiarly characteristic Of its author
Mr Williams was anxious to represent
Nye CT unity in the Democratic State
Convention, and the appearance of
such man in such place meant a
stout anti-railroad plank in the plat
form, to dispose Of which would cause
the sound of ripping timber to be heard
all over the State ard leave a hole in
the center through which the Democ-
raey would drop like Guiteau falling
through the yalloWs trap. Adams,
taking his cue from the corporations,
went out to Nye and also squelched the
Williams crowd by fixing the Central
Csmmitte SO that the delegates We're
appointed directly by the Committee,
and behold Williams. the peoples
favorite in Nye county, was left out.
Now the question arises, has Adams
gone into training with the railroaders
or does he pose as an anti-railroad man
in one portion of the State and stock
other. There is now scarcely any |
doubt regarding the nomination OF Mr..
Adams by the Democrats. In each
county where he could control the Gen.
trail Committee he has secured the APP
pointment of pledged delegates. This
is not fair method, but it wins, and |
the APPEAL wants to nail the De-
mocracy to its position as early in the
day as possible.

The advice given the press by the
APrEA., /. e. to stop counting delegates
about whose political proclivities they
know nothing, is characterized by the
Reno Gazette as ga new doctrine
which makes newspapers the "tsols of
the machine" The Gazette, which in
mos: respects is one of the best edited
papers we know of, inn"cently holds to
the theory that the press should control
the Conventions. That paper will have
a Convention before long within a few
doors of its Office, and will therefore
have as good an opportunity as might
he asked for Of controlling it. If we
can be of any assistance, neighbor, sing
out.

NOTES AND COMMENT.


The cornerstone Of the new Balti-
more post0fice was laid Tuesday
with impressive Masonic ceremonies,
in the presence Of thousands Of spec
tators
William A. Russell, a prominent
citizen Of Reisterstown, Baltimore
county, Md, was murdered by one
Of gang Of burglars in his own
store early Tuesday morning. The
murderer made his escape.
In view Of the prevalence Of dip
liberia and other contagious diseases
in Boston, the Board Of Health have
forbidden public funerals in cases of
persons who die Of contagious dis
eases.
It is now definitely settled that
Goyernorelect Pattison, Of Penn
sylyania, has rendered the Office Of
attorney general to Lewis @. Cas5i-
dy, Esq, his preceptor in law.
A little girl Of Glendale, Mo, has
received a pass for life on the Mis-
souri, Pacific Railroad. Seeing two
trains approaching each other on a
curve, she stopped one by frantically
waving her apron, thus averting a
disaster.
The iron trade all over the country
appears to be settling down to d con-
dition of stagnation and depression
which has had no equal since 1874.
The outlook is gloomy. All the
western Bessimer Steel Works have
determined to close down their
works on or before December 1st.
Senator Blair, of New Hampshire,
expresses the opinion that the recent
elections show clearly that the two
things the people demand are a re-
duction Of taxation and economic
expenditures Of the public money.
He also says that before the Repub-
licans can regain their lost ground
there must be an effort Of a genuine
reunion Of all the Republican eie-
meuts on the basis OF mutual con-
ces8ion5, and that it is time for the
Republican party to take new and
advanced ground
The Committee of One Hundred,
which has done so much to reform
abuses in the municipal government
Of Philadelphia, will probably dis
band after the election next Februa-
ry. Chairman Field believes that
its work VIII then be finished, as it
has awakened the people to a sense
of theirduty inregard to city affairs,
and aided them in overthroWing the
corrupt rings that have preyed upon
the taxpayers 1t is probably the
most successful committee of the
kind ever formed in this country.
