The importation of waste taking the
place of wool and thus undermining our
sheep husbandry was topic of discus
sion during the last campaign. In re-
port to the Department of State on wool
waste and broken tops, Consul Grinnell
of Bradford, says that since it become
known there, a year ago last November,
that broken tops, laps, rovings and Stub.
biBgs of wool, with to Is per cent, of
geAuine waste scattered in, would be
admitted by the United States customs
at 80 cents per pound duty, the quantity
exported from that consular district has
riSSn from SO ,64S pounds in November,
1887. to 1874, 1856 pounds in November,
1898. Careful inquiry, he says, has de-
veloped the fact that the total shipments
of this class of wool from Great Britain
to the United States during three months
have exceeded by 1,004,620 pounds, the
production of genuine Botany waste for
the whole year. The practice of break
ing up wool tops for the United States
market has become notorious. Originally
the tops were broken up by hand, but the
enormous development of the shipments
to the United States has caused, it is stat
ed machinery to be used for the purpose.
The wool combers, asa rule, will not
lend themselves to the practice, but de-
liver the tops to the waste dealer in the
regular form, and the latter either break
them or cause them to be broken up.
The temptation to 'prepare" genuine
tops here for entry into the United States
as waste at 10 cents per pound is very
great, as may be judged when mention
that one of the larger firms in Bradford,
OF unquestionable reputation, informed
me that they had reen offered four cents
per pound profit over their regular price
for all the Botany waste they could
supply.

Secretary of War Proctor was riding
not long ago on train on the Benning-
ton and Rutland railroad and found that
he had neither ticket nor pass with him.
He assured the conductor that he would
even up with the corporation at some
more convenient season. The conduc.
tor, however, not having the fear of
Secretary of War before his
face, insisted on fare being paid. This
occurrence moves the Springfield Replb-
licdn to relate an instance of Daniel
Webster's skill in evading payment of
railroad fares. MIR. Webster made 1t a
point. it is related, to travel gratis; but
on one occasion a certain conductor told
his fellow officials that he intended to
get fare from the great statesman. Mr..
Webster was on his way to Washington,
was seated in group of Congressman
and Senators when the conductor came
and boldly demanded tickets" All de-
livered except Mr., Webster. The con-
ductor touched him, and impatieDtly
repeated the demand. "Who is the
president of this road :" asked Mr.. Web.

High License Denounced by the Wholesale
Liquor Dealers,

A large wholesale liquor dealer IN New
York city discussing Vermont prohibi-
ton said that more liquor is sold there
in proportion to the population than in
any other New England state, unless
perhaps in Maine, and most of it is of the
worst kind. He hopes the present law
will not be changed, because under a
high license law the sales will be de-
creased and the quality improved and
not so large profit would be made by the
wholesalers on better liquor. He sells
large quantities now to private individu-
ais, all rich men, and some prominent
In the state; and those sales he fears,
will be reduced if Prohibition is not in
effect. He says that high license is the
worst blow the liquor business has re-
ceived anywhere-and the Boston dealers
who were refused licenses under the
new law are going to prohibition Rhode
Island to continue the business. "Pro-
hibition is all right" he continued, 81
