Why CCho-UFOWo H1e E0eIinK UoOU.
CHICAGO, March 12.-John Clay. Jr., a
prominent ranchman, was in the city,
yesterday, after a six weeks trip in the
cattle-raising regions of the west. He said
in Texas the cattle are in excellent condi-
ton, and the general agricultural outlook
is good. In the panhandle of New Mexico
and Colorado the winter has been favor
able, % it was also in Wyoming and Mon
tana. The only complaints come from
Western Wyoming, where the grass was
short last fall and snow continued heavy .
Clay thinks range beef will arrive on the
market in better condition than in any year
in the history OF the trade, and during all
the years he has teen connected with the
business he never found Western cattle
men in better spirits.

Arthur T. Lyman writes as follows TO the
Boston Post: 1t should, perhaps, Ds stated
that the letter to the editor Of tho American
Wool Reporter, which you copy under the
heading Of Free Carpet WOOL" was writ
ten because he had stated that the wool
growa- had genuine grievance, even In
regard to tho present duty on carpet woods.
The carpet manufacturers generally hold
that this is not true. Carpet woods are not
grown here, and the duty on them. which
was expressly put on for revenue, has
existed for more than twenty years and
has caused no American growing OF carpet
woods. As no American Industry would be
hurt by the removal OF this duty, as the
revenue Ia no longer needed, as the high
duty has failed to develop any American
carpet wool, and as the duty makes exports
impossible and adds to the cost of carpets
TO the consumer, many carpet manufac-
turers think that the wool growers need
not object to making carpet wuOiu free. AS
matters now sand, however, with nil the
carpet wools necessarily imported because
there are none of native growth, the carpet
manufacturer merely Suffers some inron-
venience and adds the duty 10 the price of
the goods us u matter OF necessity. Ii this
suits the consumer, the carpet manufac-
turhr need not worry himself. To be sure,
the home market is flooded with carpets,
and there IL no possible outlet. SIN, hold
that the carpet manufacturer suffers very
much lass from the duty on carpet wool
than the WOODEN AMI worsted manufac.
tnrsrs suffer from the duties on clothing,
and combing woods, for reasons which have
often been stated. The fors!SE msnuiac.
turer Is often helped In his competition
with American manufacturers of woolens
and worsteds by the duties on wool. How
much tho wool grower Ia helped by duties
TINT injure the manufacturer is something
that he should carefully consider.

A Tornado Does Much Damage Near
Jacksonville.

JACKSONVILLE, Sept. pa tornado OF
great violence passed over Pablo Beach, 16
miles from here on the Atlantic coast, at
6 O'Clock, tonight. 1t arose in the south
west, and without any warning, except
blaokening of the sky, it struck Murray
Hill, an immense beach hotel, twisted
the tin roof from the main structure and
towers, brrst in the windows and doors
on the west side and left 1t in generally
shattered condition. The bowling alleys,
servants quarters and carpenter shop,
west of the hotel, are completely de-
molished, as is also the greater portion
of the beach pavilion.
Prince O'Neill, boy Is years old, was
standing by the horse and buggy of Law
renoU Haynes, near the dancing pavilion,
aw aiting the arrival Of the evening train.
The horse, vehicle and boy were lifted in
the air and blown nearly 200 feet on the
beach, where they were found 3 few
minutes later all in heap. The boy was
killed outright, the body being terribly
bruised aud mangled. A freight car on
q side truck was lifted in the aiY, turned
over twice, and landed on the nsrth side
Of the main track 60 feet distant. The
force Of the wind was such that pieces OF
timber were driven through the 2.inch
plank flooring of the railroad station aud
were with great difficulty extricated for
the passage OF the train. The cottage
escaped with little or no damage, and no
serious injury to persons is reported
beyond tho death OF the O'Neill boy.

Nlnnone,s six Characrcrs.

At Democratic meeting In Abingdon,
Va, Monday, Senator Daniel stripped
Gen. Malone, holding him up 10 six public
characters, In every one of which, the
senator said, he had proved false, wiz:
As Confederate soldier, when he voted
against removing comrades disabilities;
as railroad president, IN which he had
wrecked the roads and the states interest
In them; as a Democratic leader, when he
sold out to Simon Cameron for Doodle as
readiuster, when he did not raise finger
against Federal violence; as friend OF the
workingman when he employed scab
printers on the Richmond Wing and
imported English engineers to run
Virginia railroads, aud now as
Republican, when he Is trying to fool the
old.issue Republicans. Senator Daniel said
there Is no Repulicanism in 1t. The essence
of the contest is Mahoneism, and be is using
the tariff as curtain before the stage to
keep the people from seeing what Ia going
on III the green-room behind. No tariff is
involved In this state contest, and they
have no state issues except Malone, who
wants to be governor, but wont get there.
Senator Daniel, who is a brilliant and beau
tiful speaker, held the crowd together late
In the afternoon after two other set speeches
had been maze, and no greater evidence of
his power on the stump could be given than
this single fact. In the Democratic meet
ing there were some ladies', who occupied
seats In the gallery. No negroes were pres
ent, and the assemblage fully represented
the intelligence OF the section.
