The Wool Market.

The aggregate sales OF wool are large.
Buying is not confined wholly TO one or
two grades, but all kinds are moving
fairly wolf Manufacturers arc soour
ing larger stocks than usual, especially
of the finer grades. The supply of
fleece woods is very light. 1t is easier,
in consequence. for dealers to dispose
of them at the highest values. Fine
staple territories are receiving the
strongest demand. Ohio and Mich
igan woods are quicter, because
dealers have placed prices entirely out
of reach of the average buyer. There
is less activity noted in Australian
wool. Manufacturers who use these
woods have an adequate supply for the
present. The demand for carpet woods
has weakened There is no speculation
in the market. Necessity alone is COM
polling manufacturers to buy. Dealers
have a light stock on hand and are not
pressing sales. Brokers are doing very
little business because prices are high.
There are no indications at present of
any change in quotations.

BOOK AND PERIODICAL NOTICES

Table Tar for November is upon our
table. 1t is full of good things, aud the
ladies will think it is one of the best
number ye, issued.
A little pamphlet comes to us entitled
The New Method in Certain Chronic
Diseases" by W. Z. Forest, b. ;. NJ.
d., and published by NJ. L. Holbrook X
Co., New York City. This little work
seems to be Il practical talk TO the
patient upon what are now called
chronic diseases. The language is plain,
and no technical terms are used, and
the volume at once presents itself TO the
thoughtful man of every day life.
The November number Of the CoSmo-
p0lidn IS handsomely illustrated
throughout and full of very interesting
matter. The periodical is all It's name
implies. Its contents are full of inter
est to every class of our citizens. The
Illustrations are finely executed, and as
works of art each is study in itself.

Every intelligent man knows that the
population of West Virginia has in
creased ia the past ten years at re-
markably rapid rate compared with the
increase during the previous ten years,
which is due 10 largely increased i'm
migration consequent TO our remarkable
boom ia development. in addition TO
the natural growth. Yet PoErEES cen
sus makes the increase between l>So
and $500 less than 10 was between 1870
and lSsoi In $50 the population OF
West Virginia was ile.0l4. In lSso ii
was GlS.451, an increase of 1s6,ii3.
PoErEE's census for lsoO gives West
Virginia but 76o.44s. am increase of but
i5I.o9l. less by ei,45e than the increase
between 1870 and lSsO.
If POTTER, figures are right where
are the results of our growth
and development during the past ten
wears. a growth and development un-
precedentcd in West Virgiuia's history?
PoErEE's figures are all wrong, and
decidedly wrong. No wonder they have
created derisiou all along the line. The
Boston Herald pronounceS PoErEE'N
performance "a census to laugh at and
throw away" and il adds: In the way
of reducing the population PoErEE is
worse than the war" An Enthusiastically
count has been expected ever since IL
was known that an INSCRIPTIONS par
tisan with reputation for Juggling
with figures had been selected to take
charge of this important work, and his
course in the selection OF his Suoordin-
ate, strengthened the expectations; out
so seIf-evideut an error or manipulation
of figures was not looked for as is pre-
scented by his alleged total for West
Virginia.
The Census Bureau tried to break the
force Of the discrepancy between the
figures for the United States which II
gave ont and those that the natural in-
crease would have shown by attributing
am error to the census of 1850, which 10
was declared. gave IAN exaggerated
rate Of increase Of the population ce-
tween 1870 aud 1850" The trouble with
this explanation is that the rate OF M
crease given by the census of 1850 was
smaller than that of any other decade
since $500. save that Of the War period
II was 3O.O7 per cent. while the small
est previous rate of increase was S2'0''
that Of the lS3O-Islo decade, still eN-
cepting the ten years between 1860 and
1870. II the census of 1850 was ncor-
rect the evidence indicates that iterred
ON the side Of making the population
too small rather than too great IL
seems that the present Administration
cannot even count honestly.

To ne Editor Of tAe Register.
SR:-Every lover of liberty and every
honest friend of constitutional govern
ment has reason TO rejoice over the result
Of the elections on Tuesday last. 1t was
a most significant triumph of principles,
the discussion of which. except by Grov-
er Cleveland and few intrepid and
courageous men like him, has not
been deemed, during the past
many years, the Surest road to
popular favor and successful
Office getting. 1t is the peoples and
not the politicians victory. They have
rebuked the ballot box, the desperate
political leaders who have attempted to
Subvert the government under the Con-
stitUtion, and 10 pcrrert its powers for
the accomplishment of ends that defeat
the object for which all just govern
ments are instituted. The brutal tyr
amy of Reed: the robbery of the peo-
pie approved and sanctioned by protec-
tioniStS like Mckinley and those who
procured and favored the passage of the
tariff bill which bears his name; the
overthrow of the freedom OF elections
threatened by the Lodge Election, or
Force bill, and the waste
full extravaganza and expenditure
of the public moneys have at last arous-
ed the Slumbering spirit OF resistance in
the people, and stimulated them to ac-
tive and successful opposition. The
sound gospel of tariff reform has made
material progress. and it is cause for
congratuation that true democratic
doctrine of Il tdriG for rere,Ue, and for
rcrcaUe only, rs the only legitimate pur-
pose for which the taxing power ever
can be cOnstitutionally exercised, has
met with such popular approval and en-
doreSment. West Virginia, whom
the greedy monOpoliStS had mark
ed aS their prey, with the
strength of young giant has broken
and shattered the ranks Of Protection
under the broad shield OF American
law" and declared the Tariff is tax"
The barriers are down and the angry
flood of public opinion is rolling on. Let
MS no longer fear To advocate boldly,
but in the spirit Of true patriotism, the
great essential doctrines OF liberty and
true Democracy. 1t is as true
now a. when utterance was given
To the sentiment, that frequent
recurrence to first principles is
essential To the maintenance of our
/ liberties" To instruct the people in
the fundamental principles of govern
ment and taxation is the great work be-
| fore Us. To this task the Democracy
I should devote itself with the courage
