All ANNOYING ESCORT.

Wednesday evening party of
three, consisting of two ladies and
gentleman, took advantage of the
fair weather and resolved to enjoy
themselves by taking a ride round
town and the suburbs. They carried
out their intentions, but, to their
great annoyance, it seems as if they
were being followed by certain
party on horseback. Wherever they
turned and whatever they did, the
unlimited escort was always at their
heels. At one time the hack made a
turn three times at corner, and the
horseman went through the same
eyolutionS. The driving party were
at an utter loss as to the meaning of
the hOrseman's strange conduct.

Eli Perkins and Mills, Boy Charley.

The Sioux City Journal publishes the
following amusing interview with Eli
Perkins, the weil-known lecturer and
humorist: "On the Omaha train for
Sioux City to-day was Congressman
Mills, of Texas. With him was his
bright little boy, who had been in d
Minneapolis school. The little fellow
was bright as his father, but did not
seem to know anything about the falla-
cies of politics. He was ready to an
swer all questions, as his astuteness as
tonished even mis- father.
Il asked Mr.. Mills if might ask the
little fellow some questions and note
his quick, school-boy answers.
Certainly, said the genial congress-
man, go ahead and you will find Char
ley bright enough TO answer anything.
And you won't interrupt us?' l
asked.
Certainly not

bright little fellow up to me, L m going

tie Texan.
well, Charley, I said, IF you lived
in town where all the people sent over
to the next town to buy all their things,
what would be the etfect?'

chants would all be poor, for all our
money would go away, wouldn't it :?
We'd ali be poor, sure

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. 21.-From
information gained here last evening it
looks as though the reports sent out
from Washington of preparations for
war with Chill were true. Admiral
Brown yesterday secured an option on
the new and powerful tug Fearless, just
finished at the Union Iron Works. She
has speed of sixteen knots and can
carry coal enough to maintain ten knots
per hour for fifty days. Ii purchased
by the government she will be sup
piled with two fve-inch guns and a
secondary battery of four six Founders
and four torpedo tubes. She is swifter
than any Gillian torpedo cruiser and far
more powerful. Admiral Brown also
secured options on four of Spreckels
big steamers. the Zealandia, Australia,
Mariposa and Alameda, to be used for
transport service The Zealandia can
be ready at ten hours notice and al the
others inside of three weeks. The coast
defense vessel Monterey can be made
ready in three days after her armor
plate is received

The following item is quite significant,
because it comes from the Dry Goods

spondent, the paper and the writer of
the item being free traders:
If one were to credit the stories told of
impending removals of lace-making plants
to the United States, one would be forced
irreSistibly to the conclusion that nothing
but bare walls will remain in Nottingham
in few months time.
This shows how wise was the business
judgment of the trainers of the tariff
law. They wanted the American peo-
pie to make their own laces, and the
item from Manchester indicates the de-
gree of success which has followed the
establishment Of lace factories in the

This is reduction on a great scale.
The free trader is wrong as usual. Car
pets are not higher in price. they are
lower, "on account of the tariff"
Some traders, encouraged by the false
hoods of the Democratic press, which
always works against the interests of the
American purchaser and the American
laborer, by encouraging capital to de-
mand higher prices for the one and pay
lower wages to the other, while making
an lmpudent pretense of desire for
freedom Of competition, have de-
manded higher prices for carpets. But
they have been few in number. The
majority of retailers hare not asked
higher prices. There has been no cause
for higher prices. The item of wool,
which is the chief ingredient of carpet
manufacture, has been made q subject
of inquiry by the American Economist,
and the showing is as follows:
In the first ten months of the new laws
existence, ending July 81, our imports of
carpet wool were 50, l60, PIT pounds, valued
at Sc, 49, 18, an average OF 1917 cents a
pound. The duty Of 90 per cent. adj valor-
en- brings the price to the manufacturer
up to IL 81 cents pound. This is the
average price paid by the carpet manu-
facturer for carpet wool this year.
In the corresponding months Of last year,
uLuSI Lie on tdIlll. Imports CT carpet WOOL
were 71,081,76} valued at Sc, PSI, 740, or
IL 3-5 cents pound. The old duty of 215
cents pound added made the price at the
carpet mill IA Ito cents a pound. In other
words, the manufacturer is getting his
carpet wool cheaper on an average this
year than last
The evident fact of cheap wool moved
the Dry Goods Economist to say on the
2Sth of last month, Carpets are likely
to be cheaper than ever before" The
Dry Goods Economist is radically free
trade in its editorial opinions, but as a
guide to merchants it endeavors, and
with success, to be correct in it's facts
and figures. At an early date it had
predicted higher prices on account of
the tariff" but it's editorial opinion
was, as usual, wrong, just as its market
quotations always are right. Explain
ing the failure Of its prediction, 1T said,
on the day quoted:
Here again we have rather surprising
outcome or what seemed inevitably ris-
ing market, due to causes which we have
already explained, tO-wit, the lower price
OF raw material and the eager competi-
