Political Notes.

Gen. Rosecrans, of California, says that
people outside the State can form no idea of
the feeling within the State on the Chinese
question, for no other State has suffered SO
much from the Celestials. If Harrison has
any hopes of carrying the State he may as
well abandon them now"
On the free wool issue it does not seem as
ifthe Democrats would lose many votes in
Indiana. According to the New York Herald
there are only an average of three sheep to
each Indiana farmer and the profit they make
out Of the duty on wool was lost twenty
times over in the war taxes on other neces-
saries.
1.-THE Democratic party" says the San Fran
cisco Examiner, :" is not composed of FOOLS 1t
is composed of American citizens, and 1t has
no interest in destroying the prosperity of
the country for the benefit of foreigners. 1t
proposes to take part of the load of taxes
from American backs and TO oil the wheels
of American industry with free materials
A vote was taken in the House, on Mon.
day, on the free-wool clause Of the Mills bill
Only three Democrats voted to strike it out
and it was retained. This fact, if it shows
anything, proves that the Democratic party
is practically united on the tariff issue and is
in favor of free necessariCs of life rather than
of free whisky.
In the House, on Tuesday, Representative
Shaw, of Maryland, pointed out the insincer-
ity of the Republican attitude on the tariff
question, and charged that they only advC-
Gated repeal of the internal revenue law for
the purpose of avoiding any reduction in the
tariff He argued that it is not absolutely
necessary to enact legislation to reduce the
internal revenue tax, for individuals, by al
staining from the use of tobacco and wills
ky, could bring about material reduction.
That matter, he held, would regulate itself,
for the present, at least but it was absolute
ly essential at this time that Congress should
provide for reduction Of the tariff, which
cln only be accomplished through legislation
The vote on the final passage of the Mills
bill will probably be taken on Saturday. 1t is
believed that it will be close, but the prota-
bitles are that the bill will be passed ty
small majority. lift is passed the response
bilty of continuing War taxes on the people
in time of peace will rest upon the Repub-
liCan Senate. If it should fail the country

forts the Democrats have been making for
their relief

HOlstein Cattle.

That the coming COW of America is to be Of
Dutch extraction has been forcshadowed of late
by the increasing strength of the displays of
the Holstein breed at many cattle-shows in this
country, and by the growing interest felt in the
milk aud butter records Of imported Dutch cat
tie Farmers, and, indeed, all persons who
wish to be well Informed, therefore, will peruse
with attention the article on "lIolstein Friesian
Cattle" by S. Hoxie, which appears in liar.
pcr'S Magazine Tor August. 1t sets forth the
history of these patient animals, which come of
most distinguished ancestry, and rectcs their
excellent qualities as producers of milk, butter,
cheese, veal and beef. AS milk -givers they sur
pass all other cattle Of record, and from every
point of view are remarkably well adapted to
fill the important position they seem destined
to take on the dairy-farms of this country. The
article is illustrated to show excellent speci-
mems and groups Of this breed.

Free Wool.

Republican newspapers have been endavor-
ing to pull the wool over the eyes of Ameri-
can farmers by arguing that if the tariff is
taken off of wool they will lose a vast amount
every year The light thrown upon this sub
ject since tariff reform began TO be agitated
shows that they are mistaken and that the
abolition ofthe duty on wool would result in
a great saving to the farmers the country
as well us to all other classes.
The wool tax, according to the estimate
of the Philadelphia Times, imposes a direct
annual tax of $3.50, 900 upon the consum-
ers OF woolcns in the United States, while at
the same time giving Europe half our home
market for woolcns and European labor half
the wooden industry ofthis country. The
Times adds:
The high tax upon wool and other raw
materials Of our wooden manufacturers com
pes protective tax of about GO per cent. to
be levied upon wooden goods to protect our
mills and labor, but that has proved INSULT
cient to enable our home mills to supply their
home market Europe now supplies AS per
cent. of wooden goods for our home market
and our home mills and labor supply so per
cent. Why? Simply because Europe has
free wool aud raw materials and we tax them
eXtorlionately.
Free wool would deprive no labor OF pro-
lection. On the contrary, it would enable
our home mills and home labor to double
their product, which would double the en-
ployment of labor, and to supply their pro-
ducts 90 per cent. cheaper to consumers with
better compensation to both capital and lab
or. In short, free wool would start every
wooden mill in the country at once; would
cheaper woolens cope cent. would give
home mills and home labor the entire home
market; would afford better profits to capital
and better wages to labor and would save
the wooden consumers of the country $780,
100000 per ycnr."

Alarming TO Railroads.

The recent terrible disaster on the Virginia
Midland Railroad, by the breaking of tres
tie, by which eight or nine persons were
killed and many others seriously injured,
has awakened tue railroad companies in the
country 10 the Importance of thoroughly ex-
aiming these structures and strengthening
such as are deemed unsafe. The Maryland
Central Railroad, as all know, has on it many
high trestles which were built some years
ago, and the accident referred to has direct
cd the attention of travellers upon this road
to those portions of the line, and while no APP
prehensions of danger need be felt, the
patrons of the road will be glad to know that
Mr.. William Gilmor, receiver of the road, is
looking closely after these structures. Upon
this subject the Baltimore Sun says:
at is understood that the Maryland Central
Railroad Company will have the Bradford tres
tie, near WOodbrOok, filled in this month, and
then the filling in of the curved trestle near
the south end of the Sheppard Asylum property
will be commenced. After this is completed
there will only be one trestle between Towson-
town and Baltimore except that over the York
road, which is short distance to tie east OF the
station. Mr.. William Gilmor, the sole receiver
of the road, says he is anxious to complete the
improvements along the line of the road us
rapidly as possible, and promises that neither
expense nor trouble will be spared in making
such improvement"

The New Chairman Of the Democratic
Campaign Committee.

Mr.. Calvin S. Brice, of New York, has
accepted the Craftsmanship of the Campaign
Committee of the Democratic National Com
mittee as the successor of Senator German,
who declined the place. Mr.. Brice is man
of great and varied abilities, of remarkable
force of character, and ofpower over men,
which are essential to successful leadership.
He entered the Union army as private and
at the close of the war was not 81 years of
age, but was mustered out with the rank of
Lieutenant Colonel. His fortune is es,imat-
ed at from $4,000, 1000 to $l00O0,000.
He is described as follows:
"Mr. Brice's personal appearance suggests
first ofall keenness. No imposter can look him
in the face any great length of time. His eyes
penetrate. In hgure he Is about feet in
height and is compactly but not heavily built.
His complexion is ola sandy type. He wears
full closely cropped beard, but lets his hair
have a little more liberty. In conversation he
is charming, especially when he wants to be,
and even in the hurry and worry of business
his brusQueness is of pleasant sort, for the
reason that he never loses his temper lie says
he cannot AFFORD to. Yet the quckness of his
movements, his constant alertness, and decisive
way of speaking would lead the casual observer
to believe that he might readily become impa-
tent.
"lf precedent counts anything, Mr. Brlce
brings TO the Democratic campaign an element
of success His sincerity cannot be doubted,
for lie has taken of his coat and that means
business "
