THE PROSPECT ABOUT WOOL.

The organized effort for free WOOL or an ad
valorem duty only, has brought the natural re-
suit. A circular has been sent out by firm of
wool dealers to great number of wool growers.
asking them to influence their Representatives
in favor of the election of some candidate for
Speaker whose support Of the duty cannot be
disputed. 1t does not matter how mistaken anv
of these efforts are, with respect to the par
ticular objects sought The effort is. first. to
arouse doubt about the purposes of Republican
members, and then to call forth distinct ey-
preston of the wishes of their constituents.
The opinions of Republican Representatives
in 1884 accorded in most cases with the UiShos
Of their constituents, and subsequent action Of
constituents represented their will in other cases.
Out f eighty nine Republicans voting seventy
nine voted to restore the higher duties of the
tariff of 1867 on wool. The ten members who
voted against so doing, some because they were
not willing so soon to disturb the tariff adontod
only the year before, were MeSsrs Long. Rock-
well and Whiting, Of Massachusetts,. three Now.

Of twenty-four from trans-MiSSissippi Statas
The four who are now in Congress acted with
their party last year, and heartily supportod =
in a campaign in which the tariff question u,s
predominant. 1t may be inferred that in 1874
they were not disposed to reopen the question 90
soon until the results OF the new tariff had been
more fairly tested.
The Republicans have thirty more men,
bers in the House than they had in 1881. which
means that twenty-Six Democrats have Leen
retired to private lives, mainly for their con-
duct on this same question. But in 1884 there
were thrty-nine Democrats who voted 10 re-
store the old and higher duties on wool. against
100 who voted not to restore the higher dutes
and Of these thirty mine Messrs Randall and
several others are now in Congress- In ad-
dition the Republicans have five members from
new States who have no leanings toward free
trade. L. takes but little consideration of these
figures to make it evident that fewer Republ-
cans are likely to vote for free wool than voted
against restoration Of higher duties in 1884
and that more Democrats a'e likely to vote
against free wool than at that time voted for
hi CHER duties With Republican majority of
twelve, to say nothing Of seats fraudulently oc-
cupied by Democrats who ought not to stay
long il would seem highly improbable that agi-
tators for free wool can accomplish anything.
No one has yet been heard TO suggest that q

Mr.. Henry R. Towne, the retiring president
If the American Society Of Mechanical En-
gineers. in his speech on Tuesday devoted con-
siderable attention to the Worlds Fair, and in
rarticuar contended with some force that it
could not be held in IS 81 because there is not
sufficient time to make the necessary prepara-
tons We have only twenty-nine months to
get it I'D in be said, while I" four years and a
half elapsed be-ween the preliminary move OF
the Paris Exposition and the event, and we en-
gineers say. in view If that fact, that it cannot
be accomplished in 1892" Therefore he urged
the postponing Of the Fair till 1894 in order
that the Exposition which is to mark the four
hundredth anniversary Of the discovery Of
America might be in every way worthy OF the
occasion and Of the American Nation. Never
theless in spite Of Mr.. Towne's arguments, the
society passed a resolution in favor Of holding
the Fair in o. showing that the mechanical
engineers are by no means unanimous in tho
belief that the time is too limited to get up an
International Exhibition that shall compare
favolably, not only with the Centennial EXPOSE
ton, but with the show in Paris which has
achieved such an extraordinary degree Of sue
cess.
1t is self-eyidcnt that after the question OF
holding any Fair at all the most important ques-
ton is, whether it shall be held in 1882 or at
some later date. And this is question to be
settled at the very outset. Congress meets q
week from to-day, and as soon as the com
mtteeS are appointed it is probable that the
matter Of the Worlds Fair will be brought up.
If it is decided that such an Exhibition will be
the most appropriate method of celebrating
Columbuss g. eat discovery and that New-Y ork
Is the place for holding it-and we expect
favorable answer on both these heads-om
representatives ought to be able to give an as
surance that this city will do its part in the work
OF getting ready by the time when it is univer-
sally agreed that the Fair ought to be held.
While 1T will require the putting forth Of
| extraordinary efforts, we have no doubt that
the necessary work can be done in time to onen
the Exposition by the middle Of Nav or the first
Of June, 1892. But it will demand the promnt-
est and most efficient organization and nm
sleeping diligence.
There is not a moment to be lost. We all
realize now that the matter should have been
taken in hand at least year ago, and it would
have been better had it been acted on at the
first session Of the Lth Congress. But there is

il in favor of repeal or reduction of the wool
duties, and it would be particularly unjust to
imagine such thing when nobody dares to as
se,t il. If there were such candidate he
would probably be not first in the race. The
effect of the agitation begun by Free Traders
may not improbably be that direct inquiries adj
dressed to candidates will be promptly answered
by direct pledges from all to organize the House
in accord with the policy of the Republican
party, which defeated President Cleveland last

The evacuation of New York by the British
Army in 1888 was an important event in the
history of the city and the Revolution, but the
annual recurrence Of the day attracts little at
tention, and the celebration of it is hardly more
than reminiscence. The one exception to this
rule was the centennial anniversary, which was
celebrated in a manner only less imposing than
the great Washington Centenary last April.
This is Evacuation Day. and the veterans Of
1912 and the Old Guard will observe it in their
usual Syle. The veterans meet year by year
with diminishing ranks, and in few years none
Of them will be left. Then such note as is low
made of the anniversary of the evacuation will
probably cease, and coming generations may
not be reminded of this occurrence until the
time comes round for its second centennial to be
observed.

Kings have reported to THE TRIBUNE the official
