Republican Paper for Free Wool

}The Chicago Tribune, Republi- can, recognizes that wool is the great obstacle to tariff reform. "The Democrats" it says proposed to frfe-list raw wool and cut the duties on wollen goods about one-half. That would greatly cheapen a prime necessary of life-woolen goods of all kind-without compelling a re- duction of the wages paid in the woollen factories. With free raw wool so much cheaper manufac- turers could undoubtedly reduce tie price of woolens very material ly without cutting down the wages of their workmen. The republican Senators, however, were determined to protect wool growers, and pro- posed a material increase of the present high tax on raw wool and on several kinds woollen goods. What does Iowa want-higher pro lection for wool or cheaper woollen goods? Nothing connected with tariff revision is so difficult to deal with as the tax on raw wool. It has been called the key of the tar if issue. It turns really on the point whether the mass of the sheep raising farmers feel more interested in maintaining the wool tax than in cutting down tax on wollen goods"

What Is Coming?

"Well, what is coming? A popu- lar storm is brewing-a storm of discontent with the present policy of the Republican party, and with the attitude of it's leading politi- cians and the administration toward the great question of the day. The Mahones and Forakers, the high Protectionist clique and the loud mouth claque, that seek to yell down civil service reform the bribe- giving and bribe-taking bosses of machine politics and the men who believe that the money of pluto crats and plutocratic corporations are more essential to the success of the party than the patriotism, the conscience and the intelligence of the people, must go the rear and stay there or-the grand old party will. The signs are many and plain and all point one way. The political tendency of the times is an upward tendency, not 9 down ward one. The people are all right. They call for knowledge, discussion enlightenment, wise and patriotic leadership, and what they call for they will have. If they cannot get it from one party then they will ask it of the other, and what they ask they will get, and quick, too" Rev. ". H. Murray in the Bos- ton Globe.

One of the picturesque features of the Hudson between upper New York and Yonkers on pleasant sum- mer afternoons is the girl with a canoe. The cockle-shell craft. weighing not over twenty pounds, is one of the prettiest things afoat, with its thin sides of polished ce- dar and its bright-eyed occupant seated on a scarlet cushion on its bottom. She has scarlet ribbons on her sailor hat and a scarlet sash fastened about the waist of her dark blue serge boating gown. A heavy silk skirt of dark blue and white stripes tops this, and as she wields the long double paddle she skins the surface of the dimpling river with the lightness and bird-like mo- tion that only the canoeist know.

Fearful Find.

San Jose, Costa Rica, Nov. 16.- The San Salvador Debates pub lished sensational story regarding the investigation of the cause of the peculiar odor which had occasioned much complaint at the headquar- ters of the national artillery in that city. The exploration in the cellars led to the discovery of more than 100 skeletons which had been con- cealed beneath the floors, and many of which were covered by not more than six inches of earth.
 The Debates asserts that they are skeletons ot victims of the late President Zaldiyar, and that the sudden and mysterous disappear ances of many persons who oppos- ed Zaldivar's policy are fully ex- plained by these horrible discover ies.
 Zaldivar is the Honduras priest who was sent over by Barios and forced upon Salvador as President. After placing a loan of a million and t4lf dollar in the name of the repub- ,e with an English banking house near the close of his term, he fled tie country, stopping in London lang enough to draw the money, and went thence to Paris. He is nSw in Madrid.

Light-HOuSeS in GIid-Ocean.

1 A New York dispatch of the 19tf
 says Captain John P. Walker, Uni
 ted States Army (retired), has laid
 before the International Marine
 Conference at Washington a plan of transoceanic lighthouses and re. fuge stations, to which, as a civil engineer, he has devoted much study.
 In his communication he says My idea is to secure land on the south beach of Staten Island and start hotel, to be called Neptune Hotel No. 1, this for the base of operations, and from that point to establish a line of deep sea light houses and hotels, or houses of re- fuge across the ocean, connected by telegraphic cables and supplied with boats, tugs, launches, steamers and sailing craft, constituting with their crews deep sea messenger, telegraph and life-saving service which would constantly patrol the ocean and afford communication with all passing vessels and assis- tance in case of need which would pick up boats from ship-wrecked and abandoned vessels, and give all vessels the latest information, daily or hourly, from sea or shore.
 "The general idea of the stations is that they would start from the simple basis of a light beacon or bell buoy and gradually pass on- ward to light ship, a floating light house, to mid or inter ocean grand harbor of refuge, with it's wharves, storehouses and docks, where ships, tempest-tossed and broken, could take refuge from storms and be re- paired and reitted, and where trav-e elers could stop if it pleased them and take the benefit of the sea air for any definite period, The patrol ships would blow up icebergs and the ocean hotel would be securely anchored and be chiefly under wa- ter.n

It will be seen by our interesting Crittenden correspondence that Mr. G. w. Lang, of Los Angeles, is go- ing to attempt to drive cattle from Southern Arizona and Sonora to Southern California, being inspired to this course by the high freight rates of the Southern Pacific. If any one living can do this success fully Mir. Lang is that man. Our correspondent states that Mir. Lang was the first man to drive cattle from Oregon to Montana and Wy oming, and if we are not misin- formed ne was the first man to drive herd of Texas cattle to Northern maturing ranges. The result of MT, Lang's experimental drive will be awaited with great interest by South ern Arizona cattlemen. Wilcox Stockman.

An old observer of presidential life in Washington says that each new President begins his term by spending more money on hospital fly during the first year of office than during any of the succeeding ones. The expenditure decreases gradually, iti said, until the fourth year, when the ordinary President begins to think more about saving money for the coming rainy day than about spending it for dinners and receptions.

stitute God. He was q Pantheist-
 that is to say, an Atheist. He was
 a lover of nature-a reaction from the asceticism of the church. Ht loved the fields, the woods, the
 streams. He said to his brother priests: Come out of your cells
 out of your dungeons; come into 1 the air and light. Throw away your beads and your crosses. Gather flowers; mingle with your fellow men; have wives and children scatter the seeds of joy; throw away the thorns and nettles of your creed enjoy the perpetual miracle of life.
 On the seventeenth of February, in the year of grace 160G, by the triumphant beast, the church of Rome, this philosopher, this great and splendid man, was burnt. He was offered his liberty if he would recant. There was no God to be offended by his recantation, and yet, as an apostle of what he believed to be the truth, he refused this of fer. To those who passed the sen tence upon him he said: "Itis with greater fear that ye pass this sen- tence upon me than receive it. :" This man, greater than any ratu- ralist of his day, grander than the martyr of any religion, died will ingly in defence of what he believed to be the sacred truth. He was great enough to know that real reli- zion will not destroy the joy of life on earth; great enough to know that investigation is not a crime that the really useful is not hidden in the mysteries of faith. He knew that the Jewish records were below the level of the Greek and Roman myths that there is no such thing as special providence; that prayer is useless; that liberty and neces- sity are the same, and that good and evil are but relative.
 He was the first real martyr neither frightened by perdition, nor bribed by heaven. He was the first of all the world who died for truth without expectation of reward. He did not anticipate crown of glory. His imagination had not peopled the heavens with angels waiting for his soul. He had not been prom ised an eternity of joy if he stood firm, nor had he been threatened with the fires of hell if he recanted. He expected as his reward an eter- nal nothing. Death was to him an everlasting end--nothing beyond but sleep without dream, a night without a star, without a dawn nothing but extinction, blank, ut ter, and eternal. No crown, 20 palm, no "well done, good and faithful servant" no shout of welcome, no song of praise, no smile of God, no kiss of Christ, no mansion in the fair skies-not even grave within the earth--nothing but ashes, wind blown and priest-scattered, mixed with the earth. and trampled be- heath the feet of men and beasts.
 The murder of this man will nev-; CT be completely and perfectly avenged until from Rome shall be swept every vestige of priest and pope, until over the shapeless ruin of St. Peter's, the crumbled Vati- can, and the fallen cross, shall rise another monument to Bruno-the thinker, philosopher, philanthro- pist, Pantbeist and martyr.-R. G. Ingersoll in New York Magazine.
