1t has remained for the free trade Chicago
Tribune to give publicity 20 the most thor
oughly contemplate falsehood yet pub
lished in relation to the attitude OF the
wooden manufacturers to the wool growers
The Tribune says;
A circumstance that contributed power
fully TO the success Of Mills ami bis associ-
stes was the silence OF the 1900 wooden
manufacturers. Only an occasional faint
and seemingly insecure protest came from
the great woolen mills OF New England and
Pennsylvania.
There is not particle OF truth Is this.
Every wool grower eho had anything to
do with the Washington conference. and
every sheep owner who takes an intellF
gent interest in public affairs, is aware Of
the fact that the protest OF the wooden
manufacturers was real. honest and
earnest The story has undoubtedly been
manufactured by the free traders for the
express purpose OF antagonizing the wool
growers and manufacturers Of woolsns.
1t will fan. as all attempts to arouse the
prejudice OF one industry against another
ought to fail. II protectionists had not
been impervious to this sort Of warfare the
whole system would have been broken M
years ogo. The wool growers are not fools.
and they know the facts. They know that,
as result Of the conference last January,
the wooden manufacturers were not only
IN favor Of retaining the present protection,
but willing wool growers should have
constitution Of the duties as levied before
the reduction Of 1883.
The wool growers Of the United States
know that the individual protests against
free wool Of nearly LOCO wooden manufac-
turers are on file ia Washington. The
wool growers know that they had no more
persistent, sincere, faithful and influential
advocate than William Whitman. the
able president Of the National Association
Of Wooden Manufacturers. Mr.. whitman
has spent much of his time this session
trying 20 prevent the passage OF the Mills
bill, and bis protest against free wool on
the day Of the passage Of the free wool
clause served notice on every New England
member OF Congress that these two allied
industries understood that the principles OF
protection applied with equal force to wool
growing and woolsn manufacturing.

De BRAAK TREASURES.
Preparing TO Hunt for the m-Thc
City of Long Branch.

PHILADELPHIA July % The steamer City
OF Long Branch. which has been secured by
the expedition to start in few days in
senrch for the supposed treasures OF the
sunken sloop of war, Braak, is lying at s.
W. Tilton's shipyard, at Cooper's Point,
and ia being rapidly made ready for the
trip. Diving instruments Of the latest pat
tern are placed on board under the direc-
tion Of Submarine Engineer Charles r.
Pike, one CT the officers Of the expedition.
and it is expected that a start will be made
not later than Thursday. The vessel is
driven by powerful stern wheel, and its
breadth Of beam, IS feet. makes it well
adapted for diving purposes
There will be two divers taken with the
expedition. A novelty In sir pumps. an in
vsntion OF Mr.. Pike, consists OF Clay ton
steam dir compressor, reservoir holding
air and waste and clever arrangement OF
tubes by which the air Is purified by pass
ing through water before transmission to
the divers. II is claimed that by this
method men can work so feet below the
surface with as little inconvenience as they
can % feet below with the ordinary hand
pump. which supplies impure air. A hand
pump and two metal boats are taken along
in case IL should be necessary 60 travel
from the steamer. Steam hosting appa-
ratus Of the latest design. force pumps
to wash the mud and sand from the top OF
the wreck, and suction pumps to draw the
refuse to the service are also comprised in
the outfit A full set of buoys and heavy
anchors are also on board the vessel. The
revenue cutter Hamilton has been ordered
to render whatever assistance is thought
necessary. The leaders ia the expedition
are sanguine ofauccess. They gay they are
more thoroughly equipped for the work
than 10 either OF the two previous attempts,
and claim that at length the point where
the vessel sank has been accurately deter
mined.

REED, member Of Congress- thus
caricatures the main argument Of
the free traders, the markets

the home market and pointing
out its incalculable advantages he pro-
ceeds: "And you are asked to give up
such market for the markets Of the

transaction was told twenty.four hum
bred years ago, 1t is classic. You will
find it in the works Of Aesop, the fab

nice little dog. Nothing the matter
with him except a few foe hsh free

along happy as the day, for Q had in
his mouth nice no ilder

to a stream bridged by a plank. He
trotted along and, looking over the
eide of the plank, he saw the markets
OF the world and dived for them. A

bank the wettest, the sickest, the
nastiest, the most muttonless dog that

shadow which Calhoun's disciples are

cfirsa into partisan sposa ttey considered
practical reputation OF the cause OF civil
service reform, to which the President had
pledged himself without reserve 10 his let
ter to the Reform League on December 25,
1884. They were right, since the essential
principle of their reform il the separation
Of the public service from politics. and OF
this abolition of patronage there has boen
no trace under the present administration.
The President ia not In any honest sense Of
the words civil service reformer; yet 1t
suits bis purposes to discourse With an affec-
tation OF sympathy upon the necessity for
extending the operation OF the existing law
and to deprecate tho opposition which it
meets from partisans OF the patronage sys-
tenn.
The Presidents message has a plaintive
tone when he refers 10 the facility with
which this subject Is inexperienced by
politicians and the public. The painful
truth is that the people ere beginning to
understand the President, and it is no
longer prudent for him to affect zeal for q
cause which bis party despises. Even his
Bugwump admirers have found him out,
since in the language of the Evening Post
1t Is doubtful iii a single independent
voter of this state, OF the thousands

nerve and skill was Henry Colcord, and is
now, or was few years ago, an artist in
Chicago Colcord ran away from home and
went to sea, but he seems to have had more
taste for brushes and paint than for
salt water, for in 1858 he Joined the
Martinettis, at Boston, as a scene
painter. The troupe soon after disbanded,
and Blondin concluded to do his Niagara
feat. Colcord accompanied him to the
falls, and together they were five months
in getting the rope stretched and the guys
established. There were 1000 feet Of ma
nilla rope three inches in diameter. They
first put small cord across in a boat, and
then by means Of a windlass the big rope was
got into position.
The tight rope was not SO very tight after
all, for there was a curvature Of fifty feet at
the center. 1t was 250 feet above water at
its lowest point, and the curvature made a
descent of fifty feet to the center and rise
Of fifty feet from the center to the other
shore There were IS, 900 feet of guy lines,
each weighted with sandbag to drop the
line out Of the way Of the balaDoe pole.
Colcord has described an incident Of the
passage; when we had gone about ten feet
on this middle span, somebody on the Ameri-
can side pulled the outer guy line We af-
terward found out it was done Intentionally,
and the rope was stopped in its swing. Blon-
din stopped, and his pole went from side to
side in a vain effort to enable him to secure
his balance At one time it was up and down
on the right side, at another up and down on
the left, and recall now with wonder that /
was only curious to know whether he would
succeed in getting control Of himself or not.
didn't feel any fear. Failing Of getting his
balance, he started TO run across the horrible
span, and we safely reached the point where
the guy rope came out from the American
shore Then to steady himself Blondin put his
foot on the guy rope and tried 70 stop, but the
guy line broke, and with a dash Of speed he ran
swiftly twenty-five feet further to the next
point, where the guys met the main rope.
Then he recovered his balance, and whispered
rather than said: sDecendez vous. The per-
SEPARATION stood out on his neck and shoulders
in great beads and we balanced ourselves on
the swaying rope Presently he said, Al
lons,' and / raised myself to his shoulders
and We went on in safety and without incl
dent toward the shore.n

The Temperance Reform party OF
Delaware is no more. In it's stead we
have the impracticable Prohibition
party with its impossible aim and
expectation. The sentiment that
prevailed at Dover yesterday
through eighteen delegates IS
that OF the temperance men
who do not want prohibition by means
of local option. They would like to
see, first, the Legislature OF Delaware
enact the peurile aud the ineffective
law prohibiting the sale OF all sorts OF
intoxicants in the state; and, second,
the Congress of the United States adopt
an amendment to the Constitution
providing for the same restrictions ION
paper in the country. No party will
ever be strong enough in Delaware or
in the country at large to
pass such measure, for the
very good reason that there will
never be enough such utterly inn
practicable men either here or IN the
land at large to constitute majority.
The sentiment of no considerable body
of men will favor at any time
the enactment of law that
is impossible of execution or that
necessarily leads to fraud and
perjury. Laws are generally made ito
lead men to honest habits. Now and
then we see piece of legislation that
was enacted with the contrary purpose
as Mr.. Bayard's assessment and collec.
ton laws, but as a rule legislators try to
teach a moral with every enactment OF
their authority. Hence it is that pro-
hibition of the sale OF intoxicants by
state or national legislation will never
be accomplished.
The work at Dover yesterday is not
without it's value, however. 1t simpli-
fed the situation. II sent
back to their old.time party affiliations
all the practical men that Joined the
Temperance Reform organization two
years, and left to themselves the hand
full of irreconcilables who are found
everywhere, reaching after the impos-
sible.

Baltimore Sun.
The flourishing town of castor, the county
seat OF Talbot, will on Thursday next cele-
brate the one hundredth anniversary Of Its
organization by act OF Legislature under its
present name. Prior TO that time II was
known as Talbot Court House. and fer
period as Talbot town. It was not the first
county seat OF Talbot, the court house in
early colonial times being located on a
branch of Wye river, and afterwards at
Oxford, but these locations being inconve-
nient, more central place was selected,
the present site of EAston being chosen Eas-
ton was made the seat not only of the coun-
ty, but Of the provincial court and treasurer
for the Eastern Shore, and was in a modi-
fled sense one of the two capitals OF the
State for number OF years In later days
II has given its name to the Protestant
Episcopal Diocese, composed OF the Eastern
Shore counties OF Maryland, and the bish
op Of Easton has his residence there. II has
continued to hold its position as the leading
town of the Eastern Shore, and Is one Of
the most enterprising and attractive places
in the State; the center of trade and activ-
ity of country famed for its agricultural
prosperity and thrift, its refined society
and its old-fashioned spirit OF hospitality.
Elsewhere will be found an interesting ac-
count OF the arrangements for the celebra-
ton on Thursday and sketch OF the early
history of the town.

MANY extracts from English news
papers showing England's appreciation
Of the American free traders activity
have been given to the public. The
following from the English Iron Era
may be of interest to our readers:
1.-The Golden Cub is trying to raise a
large sum Of money to be spent in fur
therirg the free trade propaganda in
the United States. Lord Brassey has
given 81, 600, others less, and the hat
is going around" 1t at once sug-
gests itself to the reader to
inquire what motives can pos
sibly actuate a foreign people
to contribute SO literally to the ad-
vancement Of doctrines, which the
trainers of the Mills bill, confidently
assert are calculated to advance the in
terests of the American manufacturer,
and as a natural consequence TO work
to the detriment of the English manu-
facturer? Can it be possible that our
English friends of the Golden Club in
tend to desert their country and spend
their gold in an endeavor to elect an
American President? Not so. They
evidently know what they are about;
but they are plainly taking the wrong
means to accomplish their object.
