ton required in the case Of wool i'm
ported from the injected districts, says:
Although foreign wool viii be scarce it
win but little affect the domestic wool
market. IL may make il a tri1e frmer,
but, as the two are so totally Inherent ana
are used for different purposes, the price
OF the latter may not be changed. Domes-
tic woods cannot very Wen De USED lot
carpets owing 70 its high price and weaker
texture The price Of carpets would have
10 advance considerably before they could
be made from American wool, and even
then they would not De so good"
Here Is a complete admission Of what
Tariff Reiormers have been insisting on
for years. They have maintained that
since the two kinds Of wool, foreign and
domestic, are $50 totally different and
are used for different purposes" it was
an outrage upon the American consum-
or 70 increase artidcially the cost of the
foreign by imposing customs duty
upon it. Especially have they In
Weighed against the duty on carpet
woods, because domestic wool cannot
very we'll be used for carpets, owing to
its high price and weaker texture.
The Press has uLwittingly admitted
that the wool duties are indefensible,
and that they are maintained not on
economic principle, but to retain the
support Of misguided wool growers for
the other schedules Of the tariff. In
confessing that the scarcity Of foreign
wool will but little affect the domestic
wool market" the Press pleads guilty
Of the fraud practiced on American
fockmasters TO prevent them from
uniting in the tariff reform movement.
In the same article the Press points
out a conflict between an order issued
from the United States Treasury by
the Supervising Surgeon General Of the
Marine Hospital Service aud the Nc
Kinley Law. The Surgeon Generals
circular requires all merchandise such
as wool on board vessels coming from
the infected districts TO be INHALED
boiled in water for an hour, and exposed
six hours to sulphurous acid gas. But
the tariff laws, according 10 the Press,
require that wool must be entered in
It's natural state with all the grease and
substances which are mixed with it
when cut. In the disniecting process
all these are lost, and the wool is in
eleansed state and more valuable" By
the showing OF leading defender Of
the present tariff laws, they must be
violated if proper precautions are TO be
taken TO protect the public health.

A fair estimate made tonight puts
the two leaders upon pretty nearly
eoual footing with about 200 or 300
votes each; 100 or 1875 for Eastman, and
the rest doubtful or for Sydenstricker.
This makes the final outcome more I'M
certain than ever and pre'sages a very
pretty fight tomorrow, when the bal
iotjug will commence.
TIE Authorship contest does not
show great deal Of change from yes

tifully, and has likely made some gains.
Sommers about holds his own. Dufy

Huntley and Tippett have some slight
accessions. The others are either sta

THE Philadelphia Ledger is Repub-
lican paper and high tariff advocate.
Commenting on the defense by the
PINKERroNs before the Congressional
Committee, the Ledger says:
"The facts are that they did go to Home
stead as an organized, armed, uniformed,
captained body; that they were not depu-
tiled by the Sheriff or any other officer of
county or State; that they were armed be-
fore they entered the property; that they
never did enter the property, and that they
killed six working men with their arms,
Winchester rifles, in attempting 10 enter
the property. These are undisputed facts
which must properly accompany the state
ment of the Pinkertons.
While condemning the lawless acts of
the workingmen, the Ledger is also fair
enough to condemn the lawless acts of
CARNEGIE's Pinkertons. If this utter
ance had come from a Democratic source
the esteemed InteILtgencer would call
it "inflammatory."

CHEERING TIE LEADERS.

AS soon as Governor Fleming con-
cluded, he having spoken under great
difficulties, and being heard by but
few, the Convention fell to cheering for
McCorkle, and Bennett, and others.
Weisgerber, of Ohio, proposed three
cheers for Garden, and they were given
with a will. The Chair plead for order,
and then announced Mr.. J. B. Peyton
as Temporary Secretary.
Col. Ben Wilson, of Harrison, then
obtained the eye Of the Chair, and
moved that during the recess, portion
of the outer walls be taken down that
the delegates may obtain some air. A
perspiring delegate proposed three
cheers for Wilson, and got a
big response. Then locomo-
tive came along outside, just
