WOOL MEN IN COUNCIL.

A convention of the wool-growers from
all parts of the county was held last week
in Chicago. The Hon. Columbus Della
no, of Ohio, called the convention to
order, and said that the object of the
convention was to take action toward
restoring the duty of 1867 on wool. He
predicted that within five years the
wool-growers would he a power which
congress could not afford to ignore.
The report of the committee on resolu-
tions, which was in substance as follows,
was adopted:
The preamable gives statistics showing
the Importance of the wool industry, de-
claring that there are 100000 flock
masters in the country, and that the
product is of the value of over $3.50, ,00O,-
900, and the amount invested in real
$500, 100000. h,s's -
The first and second resolutions are
as follows.
That we will organize as wool-growers
andssheep'breeders, and cooperate by
means of our national association to be
aided by state and county societies, and
in this way, and by all other legitimate
01oGnOuS, we VIII uO dll III our power 10
restore the tariff of 1867, or its equiva-

be repealed the unjust, unwise, and une-
quail legislation of 1883 reducing duties
on imported wools and woolens.
That in doing this we will, without
reference to former political affiliations.
recognize our friends whenever and
wherever we find them; and at the polls
we will sustain only such men and party
organizations as are in favor of protecting
and encouraging and sustaining sheep
husbandry in the United States by re-
storing the wool tariff of 1867 or its
equivalent. And that we will not sup
port any party or political candidate un.
til they have clearly defined their posi-.
tion as in favor of the restoration of said
tariff.
The other resolutions favor a system ot
economic legislation calculated to foster,

declare that the undervsluation of i'm.

THE MACVEAGH LETTER. - New
YORK, May 21.-The Sun has the follow
ing editorial op the MacVeagh letter:
"Mr. MaeVeagh studiously omits all
mention of the fact that with the single
exception of Abraham Lincoln, ,gChester
A. Arthur is the best Republican Presi-
dent the country has ever had. His pur-
pose is to point out and set in lurid light
the faults and misfortunes of the Presi-
dent, but the picture he paints is over
drawn. All intelligent persons who have
observed General Arthur's conduct since
President Garfield was shot will resent
the imputatioI conveyed in Mr.. Mac
Veagh's statement that tGuiteau was the
original Arthur man. and in that portion
which represents General Arthur as the
prize winner in the lottery of assassina
ton. These imputations are both cruel
and unjust. We have an idea that this
blast from Pennsylvania originated in a
wind cave in Maine Mr.. Wayne Mac
Veagh's real candidate is James G.
Blaine. We should be pleased to see
Mr.. Blaine nominated for President of
the United States.''

remembered, Texas shepherds lost
heavily from this cause. Hence it will
be seen that the high prices paid for
the best Merinos are justified by the
results. And there is another reason
why these sheep, as raised in the north,
will be sought after as long as the wool
business continues to pay-which it
must, if properly conducted to the end
of time. All animals reared in cold
climate have heavier, thicker and
consequently finer coverings then when
bred in more temperate regions, This
is true of the sheep. Those raised in
the north have finer feeces than those
of the south. Therefore, in order to
improve the southern sheep, northern
blood is necessary But when taken

the exercises began the 1000 seats pro,
vided were filled and many spectators
were standing on the walks and in the
streets. Directly in front of the statue
were seated the speakers, and above them
was stretched a canvas protection from

one side, and was connected with an
American flag. which concealed the
statue from view. Justice Miller presid-

prominent Lutheran clergymen from

interesting history was given by the
Rev J. G. Butler, to whose untiring
efforts the success the movement which
eliminated in the erection of the statue
is largely due. This was followed by
Volkman's organ sonata, by the band.
Senator Conger, of Michigan delivered
the address of the day, and the Rev. j.
S. Morris, D. d., spoke at some length.
The cord attached to the flag covering
the statue was then pulled, and as the

WISCONSIN DIAMONDS.

The story of the success of the diamond
miners in Wisconsin will astonish many.
If it proves true the United States may
hereafter become an important diamond
producing country. Yet discovery of
diamond mines in the United States
ought not to be considered astonishing.
It has been known for years that there
were diamond producing regions in the
United States, though hitherto all at
tempts to find paying deposit have fail
ed. Diamonds have been picked up in
Rutherford and franklin counties, N,
c.; in Hall county, Ca; in Manchester,
near Richmond, Va; 10 Butte and Ell
Dorado counties, Cal, and in some other
localities. The most valuable one was
that picked up In Manchester, Va, in
1856. 1t is supposed to have been car
ried to where it was found by the floating
ice of the river, ages ago, from the
mountain region near the head of James
river or some of its tributaries. In all
other cases the diamonds have been found
in drifts The Wisconsin find is also
said to be in a drift. No diamonds in
stu, that is in the matrix where they
originally grow, haye ever been found on
this continent. The celebrated African
diamond fields are unique in the fact
that they are places where their dia-
monds were produced by nature, the
stones never having been-moved, while
nearly all other diamond fields are drifts
where the stones have been carried by
water and ice from some unknown place
of origination.
1.-The diamonds reported to have been
found in Wisconsin are said to be in a
drift which is supposed to have been car
ried in the glacial age from the north or
not far to the east or west of north. But
this gives little clue to the place whence
they came. That place may now be be-
meath the the waters of the great lakes;
or it may be where it will yet be discov-
cred by man; or it may be that the gla.
ciers entirely obliterated the original
diamond-producing earth, and scattered
its contents far and wide. Only this can
be conjectured. that the largest stones
will probably be found nearest their
original source, while the smallest were
probably carried with other fine gravel to
greater distance. The shores of Lake
Superior have long yielded various pre-
cious stones such as are said to be found
in the Wisconsin diamond drift. The
finest cameo in the world is said to have
been cut from stone picked up by an
Indian somewhere in the Lake Superior
country and given to Jesuit mission.

MERINOES AND THEIR USES.

The breed of sheep most prominent in
this country is undoubtedly the Merino.
They are extensively bred in Vermont,
Michigan, New York, Ohio, Missouri,
Kansas and elsewhere, and fabulous
prices are sometimes paid for them. 1t
is not an uncommon thing for ram to
be sold for $1,000 and even $4,000.
There were few years just after the
war when they were in small request,
but during the past decade Merinos have
regained the place they formerly held.
They are esteemed because they have
merits possessed by no other sheep. The
ultimate of the sheep business is wool.
Especially is this the case in the South
west and on the ranches now established
on the eastern slope of the Rocky Noun
tains-in Colorado, Wyoming and even
so far to the northwa1d as Montana. 1t
is to supply the wants of ranchmen that
the chief efforts of breeders in the East.
ern and Middle States are directed. In
their purity, the Merinos are exceedingly
valuable as producers of wool. Their
feeces are the finest in the woodland
the heaviest. The qualities they trans
NIT when crossed with other breeds. In
Texas, for instance, Merino ram is
used upon the native or Mexican sheep,
and an animal yielding largely increas-
ed and improved fleece is the result.
The mixed breed thus produced is also
harder than the native stock and there
fore better able to endure the storms
whicn every now and then sweep across
that State. Last winter, it will be

How Watch Cases are Made.

In buying silver watch case great care
should be taken to secure one that is solid
silver throughout. The cap of most cheap
silver cases is made of composition known
as albata, which is very poor substitute
for silver, as it turns black in short time.
The backs of such cases arc made much
thinner than those of an all silver case,
being robbed in order to make the cap
thicker and get in as much as possible of
the cheap metal. Another important point
in asilver case is the joints or hinges, which
should be made of gold. Those of most
cheap cases are made of silver, which is
not suitable metal for that purpose. In
brief period it warps, bends and spreads
apart, allowing the backs to become loose
upon the case and admitting the dust and
dirt that accumulate in the pocket. The
Keystone SilverWatch Cases are only made
with silver caps and gold joints.
