An enthusiastic exchange remarks tina

An enthusiastic exchange remarks that
"woolen goods are SO much more plen-
tiful in the United States than elsewhere
that the American people yearly buy
and use more OF them than do all the
other people of the world put together. :"
This statement may be true, but we
doubt it. True, large number of the
inhabitants of the globe live in ATTITUDES
requiring but little clothing. but it is also
true that much larger portion live in
climates requiring more and heavier
clothing than the average of this coun-
try. Besides, cotton, linen. silk and
other fabrics enter largely into the wear
ing apparel of our people, as much so,
perhaps as any other country similarly
situated. The statement is meant, no
doubt, as an argument in favor of high
protective tariff, but is one of those
double-enders, SO to speak, that runs
both ways. 1t may not be german to
the subject but it is a fact that the
wooden manufacturers of the United
States have prepared memorial that
they intend to present to congress ask
ing for reduction. if not the removal,
of the tariff on raw wool.

THE LIFE OF CONKLING.

''The Life and Letters of Roscoe Conk-
ling" is the title of a memoirs Of the
great orator, statesman and advocate
written by Alfred R. Conkling, l.. l.. D.
Roscoe Conkhng's was one of the most
striking and picturesque personalities
upon the scene of our modern political
life. His great ability, his eloquence,
his pride, and his strength of purpose
made HIM born leader of men, man
loved and admired by his friends, hated
and feared by his enemies. As the
author says, ''the biography of Roscoe
Conkling is to large extent the political
history of New York and of the United
States from the year 1871 to the year
1884," and as such will be Of wide and
general interest, irrespective of indi-
vidual political opinions and prejudices.
The book will contain a bout 900 pages,
will be printed in the best style of the
art and sold only on subscription. 1t
will be out some time in November and

private property, and now that
precedent has been established that way
Uncle Sam will be asked to continue to
bear this imposition. Some twelve or
fifteen years ago the Omaha Smelling
Works and the Union Pacific railroad
expended good sum of money at Oma-
ha in riprapping to protect their property
from the treacherous river but Uncle Sam
has kindly come to their relief. and so
neither they nor the wealthy municipal
tiles built upon either side of the stream
there need longer concern themselves
about private expenditure or local taxa
ton for protection to their river front.
A river and harbor appropriation bill
includes more humbuggery and covers
more steals perhaps than any ordinary
outlay of general nature authorized by
congress. 1t has been shown up time
and again that appropriations for i'm
provement of river navigation have been
made and used for streams that were
either not navigated at all or upon which
navigation had practically disappeared
through competition with railways. The
upper Mississippi above Keokuk is an
illustration. Millions have been ex-
pended in improving the Des Moines and
Rock Island rapids and in the removal
Of sand bars between Keokuk and ST.
Paul, yet traffic on that portion Of the
stream has annually dwindled away un-
til the steamboat business has about
dwindled down to the employment of a
score of tags which propel RATS of logs
from the nearly depleted pine regions of
Wisconsin and Minnesota and guide
them in the channel down the stream to
the saw mills cat Clinton, Davenport,
Rock Island and Muscatine.
We are not opposed to liberal appropri-
ations for the improvement of streams
that can be made navigable and are
needed for the public benefit and con-
venience, and for the protection of
property that would otherwise be de-
stroyed, but enough has been squandered
on jobs that give no promise of return in
any way. Let the large sums that have
been thus wasted annually be applied to
securing deep harbor or harbors on the
northwestern coast of the Mexican gulf,
and the people of one-half of the terri
tory of the United States will be directly
and materially benefited.

NAVIGATION CLOSED.

The Kansas City Times, in effect, an
nounces that navigation on the Missouri
has closed for the season. This will
prove startling news to many of the
heavy shippers of the interior, but Of
immense advantage to the trunk line
railways whose tonnage has been so dis
astrously affected of late by this Kansas
City enterprise. The Times suggests
that s'the steamboat line should be in
operation when navigation opens in the
spring" By all means. A conjunction
of these two things, unquestionably, is
of the utmost Importance, more
especially in the spring time when booms
are want to bloom. If the ''steam
boat line" should accidently get
into Operation before the ''naviga-
ton opened or, vice versa, nobody
could safely guess what might happen.
What the Times will do for something to
blow about in the meantime bothers us,
which enforced acknowledgment will be
fully appreciated by the esteemed con-
temporary. However, there are the
slanderous Kentucky colonies and the
resubmission question neither yet en-
tirely disposed of and both of which
seem to demand immediate attention.
In any event navigation on the Missouri
is closed, closed beyond question, closed
for the season. and we sincerely hope
that the Times may give the catfish, as
also its many readers, a much needed
rest on that racket by keeping it closed
until 1.-The steamboat line gets into act

HOGS HELD TO FEED.
Chicago Farmers Review.

Chicago Farmers Review
Our correspondents quite generally
report the condition of hogs as good
except IN localities where cholera pre-
walls. In such neighborhoods farmers
are IN many cases trying to take time by
the forelock by marketing their hogs be-
fore the disease develops, whether in
condition or not. AS the corn crop has
been large in most of the states covered
by our report, hogs are being held and
fattened. The movement is therefore
slow as yet, excep. in counties where
the desease prevails or where the feed
Is short. In Minnesota and Dakota the
fields OF Iowa and Nebraska. where the
animals can be fattened for marketing
later IN the season. No epidemics OF
cholera are reported by our Minnesota
and Wisconsin correspondents. Some
cholera IS reported in Clay county,
Dakota; in st. Joseph county, Michigan,
and in johnson, Republic and Woodson
counties, Kansas. In Kentucky the
disease is bad in Cumberland county
and prevails to a greater OR less extent
in Breckenridge, Green, Grayson, Lorne
and Nelson counties. In Nebraska the
following counties are infected: Adams,
Howard, Merrick, York, Lancaster and
Washington. In Iowa it prevails to a
considerable extent in Grundy and Keo-
kuk counties and in less areas in Ala
makee, Barton. Carroll, Caro- Gardo,
Crawford, Humboldt, Iowa. Jasper,
Story, Lama, Winneshiek, Buena Vista
and Mills. In Wood county, Ohio, three
fourths of the hogs are said to be infect
ed. The disease in also bad in Dark and
Franklin counties, and reports of scat
tering cases come from Champaign,
Defiance, Delaware, Fayette, Fulton,
Seneca and Knox counties. In Warren
county, Missouri, 30 per cent of the pigs
have died of the disease, and many are
affected in Butter, Dent, Holt, Iron, ST.
Genevieve, Cape Girardeau and Worth
counties. In Indiana reports Of disease
come from over dozen counties in the
state. In Illinois, however. there ap-
pears to be more cholera than in any
other OF the states mentionon. Thus, in
Richland county % per cent of the hogs
have died of the disease, in Pula5ki 80
per cent, in Dupage 20 per cent, in 10
Daviess 20 per cent. 1t is also bad in
SwlngStone and Peoria.
