The Wool Market.

The condition of the wool market is
n source of disappointment to wool
growers and it is hard for buyers and
sellers to come together. Sellers are
asking 19c to 20c, according to grade,
and buyers are offering 172c to 18c. We
note q sale byJ. T. Woolman of $4,000
pounds at 1Sc-a very desirable clip
bought by w. T. Eldridge, of Boston,
who has established his headquarters in
Helena and expects to be a large ship
per this season. Other buyers will be
in the market this month.
One cause of the depressed market
in the East is that the wool of Texas,
Colorado and other sections to the south
Of Montana is seeking a market 1t the
same time. Heretofore it has occurred
that the clip of the various sections
was thrown upon the market in order
and not one avalanche. From this il
would appear that sellers should store
their wool until such a time as conf
dence is re-established. However, il
buyers could see their way clear to of.

the clip would be disposed of at once

GEOLOGICAL AND NATURAL HISTORY.


The thirteenth report of the head Of this de-
partment a review of which is found in
another column, is in itself proof that the
people have ten times the worth of their
money in the work done. That Prof. Collett,
with an appropriation of but S., 900, keeps up
and adds to the State museum, makes surveys
of Posey, Morgan, Rush, johnson and Grant
counties, with specific and detailed reports
upon our unequaled coal and stone areas, and
issues complete and accurate map of our geo
logical formations-in itself work of years,
and summary Of the efforts of the depart
ment--is as much as in all reason the people
could expect. The first part of the book, $50
pages, concerning the matters above detailed,
would be good showing for less
energetic and enthusiastic man than Dr.
Collett. But certainly no one, unless imbued
with an Astounding love and knowledge Of
his native State, and thoroughly versed in
geological history, could, out of the meagre.
appropriation, have added to the report the
$50 pages of ancient rock history, illustrated
by the forty elegant plates that follow.
Moreover in this purely scientific work
the State Geologist, by the magnetism and
enthusiasm which attaches to him, has been
enabled to enlist the most eminent naturalists
and biologists in his interest. Certainly,
such names as James Hall, of New York,
most eminent Of American stratagraphists
G. A. White, United States paleontologist;
Leo Lesquereux, most eminent Of the worlds
vegetable paleontologists, would never have
done the work presented in these pages for the
paltry sum Of money set opposite their names

THE PEOPLE AND THE LAWS.

Senator Voorhees, made his opening speech
of the canvass at Terre Haute on Wednesday
evening, combining himself to discussion OF
the prohibition question. The indianapolis
Journal criticises the speech, insisting that
prohibition is not an issue in the canvass.
Perhaps not but will the Journal be kind
enough to tell us what the plank in the Re
publican platform favoring a constitutional
convention means, and whether or not it was
intended as a toss to the temperance element
in the Republican partyR No shutting; but
tell the truthl-Lafayette Times.
There is no occasion for shutting. The
Republican party believes that the people
have the right to vote on any and all questions
Of public policy, and to frame the laws under
which they i've to alter and amend as they
see fit The Republican party in Indiana has
never made an issue on prohibition. When
that question was up in the shape of an amend
ment to the Constitution, the Republican
party insisted that the people be accorded
the right to formally express an opinion
on it. That was ALL Thousands Of Repub-
icans who voted for submission would have
opposed the adoption Of prohibitory clause
in the Constitution. The Times is respect
fully informed that the Republican party has
an abiding faith in the people, and is willing
to put the laws and the Constitution into their
hands for revision Just SO often as they see fit.
The masses can be trusted. OF the
100000 voters in Indiana comparatively
very few have any ak to grind,
and when left to themselves to say what
their laws shall be, will seldom make mis-
take. The Republican party has held that
the people have the right to make and un-
make the written statutes at will, believing
that they will be fully as conservative and
judicious as are the average Legislatures that
biennially, cat-haul the laws Of Indiana. If to
favor submission pleases the Prohibitionists,
very good; they ought to attest their appre
citation. It does not appear, however, that
Prohibitionists are befuddled on this point.
They seem to understand, somehow, that sub
mission Of the laws to revision by the people
is not prohibition
It is remarkable that paper as intelligent
as the Times, and of such remarkable fairness
for a Democratic paper-should be unable
to discern a remarkably wide difference here
The Republican ''tosses" this principle to the
people, regardless of the issue Of prohibition
or any other. It pleases some and does not
please Others. The latter are probably afraid
that the people would make obnoxious laws.
And herein lies the difference between them
and Republicans. The latter trust the masses;
the former do not
