 "Jasper-Jasper Trenoweth."
 '"Then good-by" MT. Jasper Trenoweth. Goodbye, and once more I thank you.''
 She was gone and standing stupid and alone I watched her graceful figure fade into tho shadow and take with it the light and joy of my life.

 No" I said ''I cannot say that have. But why that extraordinary sum?"
 Because that is the sum which has been hanging all day around me as mill-stone. Because that is the amount which at present makes me fear to look my fellow-man in the face.''

 "Jasper, you are singularly dense, or much success has turned your brain. Say, Jasper, that success has not turned your brain.''

WOOL AND IRON MARKETS.
BrndstroGra Report for Last wcok-wo'
InnctIye-IrOn UnSettled.

Bradstroera Report for Last Wcek-Wo"
InnctIve-Iron Unsettled.
NEW YoRK, May 2G.-All the WOO
markets lack activity and buoyancy
While the manufacturers arc taking
stock from day to day to use in the pro
duction Of goods under contract, tho
amount called for is not considerable
No purchases whatever arc made ioI
future consumption, in view OF the new
clip and the uncertainties Of Legislation
Mt Washington. The opinion is becOm'
ing more and more general that the pres
cnt Congress will put the staple on the
free list. Boston adviCes are to the eli
feet that the dealers there are quite gen
erally closing out their holdings. Prices
continue low, with no special demand
in any line.
The western producers OF wool are us
usual holding their stock several cents d
pound above the views of the buyers
The latter, from all accounts, are much
more cautious than fora number OF years
In Texas representatives OF eastern
houses are willing to take the clip at
about 8 cents under asking quotations
The Texas output this year is compare
lively free from dirt, but will shrink
heavily. The California clip is in good
condition, but not so bright as last year
The season is late. The foreign markets
continue active and firm. 1t is thought
that spectators are operating extensive
", having in mind the probability OF an
advance in case the American duties are
taken off.
Wool is quiet and featureless at Bos,
ton, with prices weak ut or under former
quotations. A considerable amount Of
pulled wool and Of territory stock re-
mains on hand, but with these excep'
tons holdings are exceedingly small.
Fine fleeces are in little. request. Rela'
lively more is doing in Texas and terri
tory woods than in other brands. There
is some call for fine Australian combing
wool. Carpet stock is inactive. Current
quotations are us follows in comparison
with last wear and the year before:

Tho Cincinnati Enquirer OF Saturday
contains what it is pleased to call agreat
expose ofthc Republican campaign fund,
which is to DO used to maintain what it
denominates q robber tariff. The legiti-
mate use of money in political cam
paigns is not be denounced, and the Re-
publicans arc doing nothing that is I'M
lawful in raising fund, but the Demo-
Gratis are in the business Of bleeding
office holders.
The result Of the Enquirer'S investiga'
ton is remarkable from the fact that ii
has not discovered any large sum af
having been subscribed, and that those
who have subscribed are politicians.
The list printed shows wonderful abb
sence of the names OF manufacturers,
who, the Enquirer claims, are contribu-
ting vast sums for the maintenance OF
the protective tariff. The disclosures
reveal very small sum subscribed, not
5000; and yet it is said that the Rcpub'
lican party is preparing to debauch the
voters. The Republican party ut pres
ent stands in need OF money, us it will
be confronted with an enemy whose
pockets are filed with the forced
contributions OF Office holders and
which will be used as corruption fund.
The manufacturers who are protected
by the tariff are VIGOROUSLY slow in con-
tributing to the campaign fund, and the
assertion that they are forminga money
Combine" falls far short OF the truth.
The Democratic party has resources it
never possessed before, and that it will
work the mine to tho last vein OF ore, is
not doubted. TO meet this the Repub'
lean party must OF necessity have rea-
sonable amount OF the sinews OF war.

There is, after all, something admira.
BILE in the frankness and honesty OF this
journal that commends it not only to the
public but to the entire Democratic press,
For a paper published in a largely in
dustrial district, it displays more than
ordinary courage, and we anxiously await
the comments and views Of large mum

to know on which side their bread is
buttered. As it reads it is a delightful
companion piece to the Presidents mes

body's bread with "sallow sweat"

General Philip II. Sheridan, whose
eminent services in the Valley OF Viz
ginia during tho rebellion contributed
greatly to the suppression OF the war; Is
now facing an enemy he cannot over
come, but he is bearing tho same bold
front before death that he showed in
battle. As tho General of the Army his
honors arc not greater than those gained
in his famous campaign in Virginia,
where he performed deeds which have
been immortalized IN verse.
Without Sheridan and tho dashing
Custer, General Grant could not have
succeeded in suppressing the rebellion
in tho time he did, and to Sheridan the
country owes such debt MS no people
can pay. IN his illness no is the same
patient and heroic sufferer rs his chief
tain who recently fell before the Great
Destroyer, preserving all the heroism
that characterized his bearing on the
ficld.-
General Sheridan had not the same
civil career as Grant, but his private life
has been rs honest and noble. He was
in no sense politician, although he al
ways evinccd patriotic interest in the
public affairs of the country and the
success Of the Republican party. His
death will remove another Of those
grand figures that will forever stand out
bold and brilliant in the pages OF history
Ms sharing in the glory Of victorious
army, and us one Of the chief actors in
the greatest conflict Of modern times.
When Sheridan dies, DO that sooner or
later, he will pass away with the assur.
ance that however ungrateful Republics
may be in some things the people will
never forget his gallant services for the
preservation OF the Union.

A young doctor who has his office in
u building on State street said come i'm
to rap at his door yesterday afternoon.
He was in neglige attire and was smok-
ing cigarette. He threw it away, for
the villainy at which he was caught he
knew could never be put into execution.
There was skull on his desk, which
from its position seemed to be taking the
place Of paper weight. By some pro-
cess OF dentistry the mouth was filed
with teeth, most Of them shining with
gold. The young physician confessed.
at is the skull, he said, "of u woman
whom | once loved. Our love wasn't
any different from that OF most couples.
She died and was one OF her pall-bear-
ers.
"She knew l was studying medicine
before her death, and when she knew
she had to die she said she was sorry she
had never given me anything, except
her love, by which she might always be
remembered: She was girl OF good
deal OF common sense. She didn't have
any fool notions. She wouldn't look fol
white horse every time she saw red
haired girl, or anything Of that sort. ]

WE are unable to believe in the sin
cerity Of the Register in its seemingly
frantic desire to give away 500 OF the
good money for which its stockholders
have been looking in vain, since that

have We scon anything to indicate that
tho condition OF that concern is in any

its General Manager wrote to friend
that while his own feelings were against

General Manager should devote himself

New YoRK, May 26.-Relative to the
report that Governor Hill will not be u
candidate for denomination, but intends
to engage in the practice OF law in this
city, and that he has received IN offer to
connect himself with prominent law
firm here, which would bring him an
income OF not less than So, 900 yearly, it
does appear upon inquiry among his
friends that this exactly represents the
facts.
1t is known, however, that friends
have endeavored to prevail upon the
Governor to refuse a denomination and
to establish law office here. These
friends, in urging tho Governor to act
upon their advice, confidently assure
him that his practice would not fall
short OF the sum which the report u.s.
serts he was guaranteed.

circumstances require manufacturers TO

II sold at two cents. For these reasons,
and the additional one that IN era Of

JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, who visited
visited this country some months ago,
went back to England and declared that
all true Americans were not in favor OF
home rule for Ireland. A meeting held
in New York proves the iaIsity OF this
charge. 1t was attended by many emf
ncnt Americans, citizens of New
York and the country at large. They
not only lent the influence OF their pre-
sence but gave the aid of their voice to
tho cause OF home rule, completely re-
iutiug tho assertions OF Chamberlain.
