THE wOOLLY TARIFF.

Wool Is higher than Il was last year. owing 10
the settlement of the tariff question Mr.. Julius
scherr, Of the Oakland Wooden Mills, tells us
that be Is paying from two TO three cents pound
more for wool than he paid when wool was the
highest last year-lJOurnal.
But julius don't say how much
he is paying for wool. If he is pay
ing higher price for wool since the
settlement of the tariff question, f"
it is fair to presume he will charge
a higher price for his goods. This
will be encouraging news to the
army of wage workers who will have
TO pay the additional protection"
on their clothing, while wages have
been reduced and large per cent.
OF them thrown out of employment
by the closing down of the "home
industries. The question then to
be discussed is how much is the la
boringman benefited by the slight
increase in wool, which will be added
to the WOODEN goods which the la
borer will be compelled to buy for
himself and family. This is an
interesting subject for a protection
list to digest.
Who is the beneficiary of the
protective tariff =? Is it the farmer?
No. Why? Because Mr.. Scherr
who pays the farmer two or three
cents a pound more for his wool on
account of the settlement of the
tariff question is not running his
mill for the fun and glory that is in
it, consequently when Dir. Scherr
puts his wooden goods on the market
he will add the two or three cents
he paid the farmer and few cents
additional for the sake Of ''protec-
ton" and when the farmer goes to
buy Mr.. Scherr's goods he will find
that he has to pay little more than
the two or three cents which Mr..
Scherr gave him for his wool.
When he asks Mr.. Scherr the cause
he will answer "Protection ?" So
the farmer finds himself worse off
than when MIR. Schcrr paid him the
protective tariff price for wool. Now
all must admit the laboringman is
taTed the additional two or three
cents while his wages are cut down.
consequently he is the loser by ''the
settlement of the tariff question"
Who is the beneficiary then ?" We
have shown it is not the farmer or
laboringman, hence it must be Mr..
Scherr, who adds the extra per cent.
above what he pays the farmer for
his wool on account of "'the settle
ment Of the tariff question:" Don't
you see, gentle reader, the fallacy
of the argument that Protective
tariff is the cause Of good times,
increase the demand of labor and
makes steady work?
Bring on another sheep, Brother
Dawson, we've got the wool off that
fellow.

SQUIRES USED HARD CASH IN.
STEAD OF COFFEE.

Squires complains of those char
ges that were not made public until
too late to meet a reply. lie does
notsremember that the evening be-
fore the elections last November he
went to GAINESVILLE to reply to Mr..
Glover, but was mum until after
Mr.. Glover left for home, when he
brought out Watson's "Fair Play"
circular, paper that has since been
proven to be lie from beginning
to end, and paper which secured
Watson's election. 1t deceived
honest Republicans, who have ever
since been willing to pay any man
fair wages to kick them for their
duplicity. That is the reason why
voters would not even read Squires'
late circular. They remembered
him as the man who tried to hire
Republicans to attend the Lanham-
Scherr convention with mot coffee)
but hard cash, when he was Squires
from Kingwood, but not county SUI
perintendent. Don't talk of unfair
ness, for Mr. Pell's letter was only
called out by Squires himself, but
suppose he will say that he did not
know II Uan looda5

IF anything, the Era's figures are
too high as regards the Democratic
vote. Since "viewing the landscape
Ger" we are led to believe not one
half of the vote was out. No effort
you know was made to get the vote
out, as we are opposed to mixing
politics with school elections.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.

Nine decisions were filed yesterday
in the supreme court:
Horn Silver Mining Company. respondent,
vs.. Dennis Ryan, appellant. Order affirmed.
s VANDERBURGH, j.
In an action against directors of a
corporation for misfeasance or culpa-
BILE negligence in the discharge of their
official duty. the corporation, and not
the stockholders are the proper party
plaintiff. The form of the action may
be legal or equitable, according to the
circumstances of particular cases. Di-
rectors of corporation are personally
liable if they suffer the corporate funds
or property to be wasted or lost by
gross negligence and inattention to the
duties of their trust. And an action at
law may be maintained against them
Jointly and severally for the amount of
such losses. The measure of care and
diligence required of directors is gen.
orally held to be such as prudent man
exercises in his own affairs; but it must
be determined in each case in view of
all the circumstances. 1t is not neces-
sary that the complaint should negative
knowledge of or acQuieScence on the
part of the stockholders in the negli-
gence or misconduct of the directors.
There is no misjOinder of causes of
action in a complaint which sets forth a
series of acts or omissions on the part of
directors, alleged to have constituted
actiOnable negligence on their part.

SHE GOES TO ST. CLOUD.
The First Woman Sent to the
New ReformatOry.

The habeas corpus case of Mary Sum-
merfield was determined by Judge ST.
mons yesterday. She had been sem
fenced to the reformatory school at st.
Cloud some time since by the district
court, where she had been convicted Of
larceny. The reformatOry, not having
proper accommodations for woman,
refused to receive her, and she was kept
i'll the county Jail. Judge SimOns held
that her custody 10y the sheriff was
illegal, who, accordingly, released her.
ID. Z. Myers, of st. Cloud, being present
Sheriff Bean pointed her out TO him and
said: II now turn her over to you. Mr..
Myers" then went to the Office of Cor
don E. Cole, president of the board of
the reformatory, to know what to do
with his charge, followed by County At
torney Egan. Judge Egan urged that it
was necessary for the vindication of the
law that she be taken to the institution;
that it would not do to let the law re-
main dead letter in this instance, even
if it took the use of the whole institu-'
ton for the woman. Mr.. Cole desiring
the opinion of the attorney general on
the matter, Mr.. Myers waited on that
gentleman, who advised her confine-
ment in the reformatory under the orig
inal commitment. She will be taken to
st. Cloud this morning.

BEDDING IN A BLAZE.
Carelessness Causes $4,000
Fire, Which Might Have Been
Worse.

Carelessness Causes $4,000
Fire, Which Might Have Been
Worse.
Owing to the carelessness of an en-
ploye fire broke out about 10 o'clock
yesterday morning in the building, 800
jackson street, occupied by the North
western Bedding company, and, quick
as flash, the whole second story was in
flames. On the second floor q number
of men were operating machinery for
the filling of mattresses with hair and
excelsior, half dozen boys supplying
them with material from a rear room.
They were piling excelsior around a
red-hot stove, guarded only by a fender
two feet in height. The pile beeomin
higher than the fender bale rolled off
onto the stove when. instantly, the whole
pile was ignited. The wOrkmen escaped
uninjured, but most of them were
forced to leave their clothing behind.
An alarm was sent in to the fire depart
nent by telephone. Apparatus was
soon at work, and, after stubborn re-
Sistance, the blaze was under control.
A heavy stock of feathers was stored in
the third story, but the fire was confined
to the floor below, though some damage
was done to the stock of goods in the
store on the ground floor by water. The
total damage is estimated at about
$1,000, of which $500 is on the building
and 81 800 OH its contents. The loss is
fully covered by insurance. The build
ing belongs to the estate of the late
Mrs. NJ. E. Parker.

THE JOHANNA CASE.

A topic OF general conversation yesterday
was the verdict of the coroners jury in the
Sullivan case. There were many who be-
Jeyed that the immediate arrest and prose

brought before the police judge, it would
simply result in rehash of the evidence
brought out al the inquest, and from the lin
