The Wool Situation.

The National Association of Wool
manufacturers has issued for a call for a
meeting in Boston, on the 18th of this
month. Tariff is the theme for con-
sideration. The Wool Reporter, COM
menting on the call says:
"We await the issue of the heconference
with interest, but with much uncer-
tainty. The results of the revision of
1888, under the lead of the Association,
however we'll intended, have been q
cause of grief and distress to the wool
manufacturing industry ever since.
Look at the list of failures of woolen
mills since January /, 1889, and how
many others have seen their surplus
capital fade away during the past years
as result of the tariff inequalities per-
petuated in 1888. Later on, in January
1888, conference of wool growers and
wool manufacturers was held in Wash
ington which has been source of con-
temp and the laughing stock of the
nation ever since. These are severe
comments, but they are demanded by
the present emergency, and unless the
so-called National Association of wool
manufacturers rises to the eXigencies
of the present crisis, its last claim to q
representative position in the trade
must be abandoned"
The same authority in speaking Of
woolen manufactures in the United
States, tells this dark tale:
"rhey are going down like row Oi
bricks. In Boston last week the sales
of wool amounted to 1,015,000 lbs
against 6,600.000 for the same week last
year. A Boston trade report says q
complete gloom prevades the market
and is an almost thankless task to try
and sell wool in any considerable quan
tity.'"
This was not what was promised thu
wool growers and manufacturers !
Harrison was elected and the Mills bill
defeated.

place to another isle, where the most
beautiful forms of foliage appeared, i'm
aginiDg a paradise in the distant and
purified air. The sun, wearied of the
elemental commotion, sank behind the
green plains of the west. The "great
eye in the heavens" however, went not
down without a dark brown hanging
over its departing light. The rich flush
of the unearthly light had passed and
the rain had ceased; when the solemn
church bells pealed, the laughter of
children rang out, and joyous after the
storm is heard the carol Of birds; while
the forked and purple weapon of the
sky still darted illumination around the
Startling College, trying to rival its an
giles and leap into its dark windows.
Candles are lighted. The piano
strikes up. We feel it is good to have
a home, good to he on earth where
such revelations of beauty and power
may be made. And as we cannot re-
frain from reminding our readers OF
everything wonderful in our city; we
have begun and ended our feeble etch-
ing of sunset which comes so rarely
that its glory should be committed tO

Why Eastern People Go West.

EDITOR NoRTHwEsT.-In looking over the
Boston Herald of May 11th, find an old
advertisement reading as follows:
For Sale-270 acre Vermont farm; two
story brick house containing 8 rooms, B
barns, cuts 40 tons of hay. keeps 20 head
of stock, good sugar and apple orchard;-
assessed at $1,600. Price $1,500-must be
sold.
old state, the land of sheep, horses and cattle
is offered for $3.50 per acre inclusive OF i'm
provemepts that cost five times that amount;
there is nothing in Oklohoma equal to this,
and of course there is no explanation why the
people of an old state are willing to sell their
improved farms for $5,55 per acre-this state
is rich in copper, granite and slate and yet
real estate is falling every year.
The answer is that this state has lost her
men by stupid legislation. Western pluck
and enterprise practiced in New England
make life as endurable and remnuerative as
it is in Iowa or Oregon. The reason or
trouble with this old State ia, that its young,
vigorous and independent young men leave
it, not because they can not make living,
but because they want fresh air-they want
to enjoy the freedom of thought and action
which is forbidden in States where Spanish
inquisitorial laws seek to force morality by
legislation, fines and imprisonment. This
old State of Vermont is dying of the disease
that Stephen A. Douglas diagnosed many
many years ago when he said "Vermont is
a glorious place to be born in providing you
emigrate very young"
New England man or even man from
the great State of Ohio or Michigan, who
would consent to live as Western farmer
does in Iowa, Kansas or Nebraska, need not
leave his farm because he cannot make q
living; so that the real reason why the East
goes West is the natural impatience of our
Fyoung men in the Eastern States and oul
own; with our hide bound laws and customs
and the puritanical laws, and their constant
efforts to shape conditions of life by arbi
trary processes, are distasteful to the aver
age American of our day.
| The fault with the East is, that the cranl
in religious morals and politics turns tht
wheel of public legislation, and young mer
of blood and energy and nerve are inspired
to get out AMI stay out of a land where ther,
is no real freedom. It is not question O.
money half so much as it is revolt agains
a mean, narrow, sanctimonious civilization
The man that sells out and goes West know
perfectly well that he will have to endure
| some hardships and consent to some sacri
| fees as the tiller of Western farm that b,
does not endure at home, but he welcomes
the change and the sacrifices, because hi
gets with it personal freedom and a cur
rent of fresh air that he does not find at home
When Legislature passes law which give
every Paul-pry instinct with the social spiri
of Peck Sniff, the right as an officer t
search every passenger on the high way

of Sun Set. 1t was given to him through
composing the following, which ap-
peared the Columbus Statesman:
A GREAT OLD SUNSET.
What stormful sunset was that of
last night! How glorious the storm,
and how splendid the setting of the
sun! We do not remember ever to
have seen the like on our round globe.
The scene opened in the west, with
a whole horizon full of golden, inter-
penetrating luster, which colored the
foliage, and frightened every object in
to its own rich dyes. The colors grew
deeper and richer until the golden Ius-
ter was transfused into q storm cloud
full of finest lightning, which leaped in
dazzling zigzags all around and over
the city. The wind rose with fury, the
slender shrubs and giant trees made
obeisance to its majesty. Some even
snapped before its force. The straw
berry beds and grass plots turned up
their whites" to see Zephyrus march
by. AS the rain came, and the pools
formed, and the cutters hurried away,
thunder roared grandly and the fire
bells caught the excitement and rung
with hearty chorus.
The south and east received copious
showers, and the west all at once bright
ened up in long, polished belt of
azure, worthy ofSicilian sky.
Presently cloud appeared In the az
ure belt, in the form of castellated
city. 1t become more vivid, revealing
strange forms of peerless fanes and ala
baster temples, and glories rare and
grand in this mundane sphere. 1t re.
minds us of Wadsworth's splendid verse
in his Excursion:
The appearance instantaneously disclosed,
Was OF mighty city, boldly lay
| A wilderness OF buildings, sinking far
/ And self withdraw into wonderous Depth
Far sinking into splendor without end.
But the city vanished. only to give
