A Statesman Dies.

Roscoe Conkling The noblest Ro-
man OF them ALL" died at his home
in New York city, at 80 "A. NJ,
Wednesday, the 18th inst Although
the alarming symptoms OF the dis
ease had in some degree prepared the
people for an announcement CT his
death, the final result caused thrill Of
sorrow to pervadc the nation. This is
indicated by press reports from men
OF all creeds and conditions. He was
one OF the few men Of his party who
has passed away with clean record.
Intent partisan as he was, he never
theless commanded the respect OF
his political opponents as well as
friends.
Mr.. Conkling was born in Albany
n. ", in 1929. He received an aca-
dcmic education, studied law with his
farther; was elected District Attorney
of Oneida county in 1850 and Mayor
of Utica in 1858. In November, 1858
he was elected to Congress, and was
prominent in American political life
for the next twenty years. His first
important speech was in support Of
the fourteenth amendment to the con
stitution. He vigorously attacked the
generalship of Mcclellan, opposed
Spaulding's legal tender act and firmly
upheld the Government in the prose
cution of the war. He Was elected t.
the United States Senate in 1867 tC
succeed Ira Harris, and reelected in
1873 and 1879. He served on i'm
portant committees from the first anC
was looked upon as man of power
and influence. While in the Senate
he served always on the judiciary COM
mittee and was chairman of the COM
mittees on commerce and the revision
of the laws.
Mr.. Conkllng was one of the mos
brilliant orators of his day. He wal
a man of deep convictions and pos
sessed the courage to maintain them
When, in 1881, President Garfield
awarded the political patronage of thu
Empire State without, as was custom
airy, consulting the Senators interested
he resigned and retired to private life
His law practice afforded him an i'm
mense revenue, much more than al
honest man can earn from the best O
offices.
The interment will be at Utica
where the principal funeral service is
to be held, tomorrow.

IT is some qualification for the
bondsmen of those holding official po-
sitions under the General Government
to know that final settlement has
been made with the principals and
that their accounts balance. The ex.
huming OF deficits of twenty years
standing, against some OF the Govern
ments agents in this Territory, and
enforcing collections from the surviv
ing bondsmen, has led to much dis
satisfaction, from the apparent in
justice of the proceeding, and has
caused an uneasiness on the part Of
present sureties. Every balance struck
therefore causes somebody to breath
freer and now the bondsmen of Mr.. J
N. Gale, late Postmaster, have an as
surance that their grandchildren will
not be troubled by an act of their an.
cestors which was prompted solely by
the kinder impulses of humanity. A
warrant of IS which the Government
still owed that gentlemen, after a full
settlement of his accounts, was re.
ceived by him few days ago.

The New Party Movement.

1t seems that the effort now being
made by Mr.. Mills for the organization
OF a Prohibition party in this Territory,
is not such a visionary undertaking as
many OF the politicians would have
hepeople to believe. Here, the names
entered upon the roll OF membership
was quite as large as that of the Lin
coin Republican Club, which was or
gained after much persistent drum
ming, and with all the drivers actively
cracking the party whip. At Tacoma
club of GO members was enrolled,
and at Seattle $50 responded at tie
first meeting, and the number has
been largely increased since that time.
1t is announced as the intention Of
this nucleous of a party to push its or
ganization into every county and
township in the Territory, and to per
feet Il Territorial organization within
the next three months. A Territorial
Convention is to be held early next
month, probably at Seattle, and an
effort will be made to have Gov. St
John present to set the ball vigorously
rolling. We observe that ex-Chiei
Justice Roger S. Greene is taking an
active part in the new organization
and if he is their nominee for Delegate
as seems probable, he will poll Il large
vote.
The new party will cut largely into
the reserve strength of both the old
parties, and will narrow the issues
down to close contest on the funda-
mental principles of both organiza
tons. There are a few good men il
either party, who will be drawn into
the new combination, but its main
strength will be taken from that un
known quantity which has hitherto
constituted the balance OF power AZ
likely to be swayed by the one as tho
other. AS Mr. Mills expressed it, thi,
organization will he the entering
wedge, but whether il will in time
cleave either or both the old parties
depends quite as much upon the tim
Der they put in their platform, as upon
the kind of Il maui that is used to
drive the wedge after it has entered.

WN. Champ & Son, the Philadelphia
shipbuilders, have nearly completed q
dynamite cruiser gunboat, called the
Yorktown, designed for the U. s. Navy,
which practically knocks Britannica
claim to rule of the wave into naught.
The guns are of fifteen-inch diameter,
and the shells fired from them will
contain 600 pounds of explosive gela-
tine, equivalent to $50 pounds of dy-
Mantle, or 946 pounds Of gun-cotton.
1t is claimed that the gun, properly
handled, will be the most destructive
engine of war yet invented, for the
heaviest armored vessels in the world
will 60 all to pieces from the explosion

thrown by the guns of the Yorktown.

New wool is coming into the Eastern

operating rather more freely IN the south
west and the prevailing tone there 10 oet-
ter. In Texas, as elsewhere, however,
prices are still held TOO high to stimulate
much activity. Most Of the wool that mas
changed hands at San Antonio has gone at
$50 16!c. per pound. But little Is doing
as yet IN Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana OF
Michigan Shearing is we'll under way ID
the more southern Territories. There Is
some reason to believe that the mills will
buy directly in the West this year to Il
larger amount than usual.
The demand for wool for consumption
is exceedingly limited. Many of the man
ufa, t1rers are getting 10 the end Of their
orders, and there is likely to be consider
able stoppsge of machinery pending the
closing of new contracts. Both dealers
and manufacturers are of loss what to do
in view of the uncertainties of the situa-
ton ct Washington. There is, according
~. no animation in the trade.
English adyices continue to point to the
probability OF an advance at the London
sales, which open next Tuesday.
Little business is doing in Boston. There
is moderate demand fol Texas and Terri
