Free Wool vs.. Protected Wool.

Renewing the line of attack begun on
the tariff by Cleveland four years ago,
the Democratic ways and means com
mlttee has brought in a bill taking every
particle of protection off wool and pro.
viding for absolute free trade in that
product.
The issue is thus squarely made be.
tween free trade on one side and pro.
lection on the other.
AS if to make plain beyond all ques-
ton the nature of the free trade assault,
it is trained on mi of the greatest in
terests of this country, extending, as the
wool industry does, from Vermont to
to Texas and Oregon.
AS the issue between free trade and
protection is thus made to turn on the
wool duties, the people fortunately have
before them the practical workings Of
the two systems during the last twenty
five years, the United States having had
protection for wool during that time,
while the European countries have tried
the free.wool doctrine. Here is the re.
suit:

SERGEANT DUNN. who is in charge
of the signal service station in New
York, is authority for the statement
that the climate of this country is
gradually changing, the winters in
the North becoming milder and those
in the South colder. The mean tenn
pcrature in New York has gradually
become higher i'm the last few years,
and this when the summers have oecn
cooler than for many years. Sergeant
Dunn's theory is that irrigation ill
the West has driven storms to the
North, where they break across Cana
da and toward the st. Lawrence Gulf.
This causes the air currents to come
from the South to supply that dis
placed bv the rush of the storm. and
produces IL mildcr climate in the
Northern States. BY the same rca-
soning he finds that these warm cur
rents FROM the South leave Il partial
vacuum there which is supplied by
the rush of cold air from the North
west, carrying many storms into Kan
sas, Arkansas. and even Texas and
the Southern States. However cor
rect Mr.. Dunn's theories may be. the
facts are indisputablc. There has
been Il gradual change in our climate.

Tile growth of colleges in this
country has been steady and so has

were S.S37 students in the colleges of
the country. In 1860 this number
had been increased to l3. ALB: i'm 1870,
to 5000: i'm 1850. to 2O.65O. and in
1880 to 3l.359. The number of col
lego students per 100. 900 population
i'm 1890 was ll:.1 in New England,
5S.1 i'm the Middle States. 3S in the
Southern States, 1876 in the Central
States. 3l.4 i'm the Western States,
and 44.2 i'm the Pacific States. These
figures show that there Is IL higher
average of college students in the
Pacific States than in either the
Southern or Western States, and chat
New England has an average almost
double that of the Middle States, and

Ho,u TO Vote.

On the ballots prepared for the next cleo
ton there will be four tickets, the Demo-
cratic Ticket. the Republican Ticket, the
Prohibition Ticket, and the Peoples Party
Ticket. They will appear with the names
of all the candidates thereon.
At each voting precinct there will be
booths in the election room or building, and
voter desiring to cast his ballot will enter
the election room or building, which will
be divided in not less than two nor more
than five booths or compartments, and give
his name and residence to one of the clerks,
who will deliver to him one ballot. The
voter will then retire alone into one of the
booths and prepare his ballot.
The voter will first decide which ballot he
will vote-the Democratic or Republican,
ETC.; and he will deface all the ballots on
the sheet, except the one he desires to vote,
by drawing line, with pen and ink, from
the top to the bottom of all the ballots ex-
cept the one he desires to vote.
If the voter wishes to scratch the ballot
he has decided to vote, he will erase the
name of the candidate he does not wish to
vote for, and write Immediately under 1t
the name of the candidate he does wish 10
vote for
But, remember, all the names you wish to
vote for must be on the one ballot; they
cannot be scattered among all the ballots.
The names you wish to vote for must be
writtea on one ballot.
Now, having thus prepared this ballot
the voter will so fold it that the face of it
cannot be seen, and so that the names of
the poll clerks written on the back of the
ballot can be seen, and will hand it to one
OF the commissioners of elections.
If the voter cannot read nor write, or is
physically disabled to prepare his ballot,
he will so declare to the poll clerks, who
will, in the presence of each other, prepare
the ballot Just as the voter wants it. The
poll clerks dare not tell how any voter vo-
ted. If the voter wishes information how
to prepare his ballot, he shonld apply to
the poll clerks.
If the voter spoils ballot he must re-
turn it to the poll clerks and may get an
other. He must not destroy it.
A voter cannot remain in booth longer
than five minutes.
While in the election room the voter
must talk to no one but the clerks or COM
missioners of election.
If the voters name has not been listed
by the Assessor, and he is challenged for
that reason, he must make the affidavit re-
quired in section 40 of the New Election
Law. The two persons he is required to
name in his affidavit do not have to be

"wriggIed in aud wriggled out" with an
agility that excited admiration rs we'll as
amusement; and, like them also, he said
some things that were not true His adj

Letter From, Ne,r York.


An interesting letter-indeed, graphic
description of the Columbian celebration in
New York is at hand just before printing
this paper. We are constrained by want OF
time aud space to forego the pleasure OF
publishing the letter entire, and give only a
concluding paragraph or two:
Tuesday evening l dropped into the store
of Mr.. Charles Broadway Ronss, having
previously learned that good view of the
fireworks which were to be displayed from
the bridge at night could be had from the
roof of his magnificent structure. l found
that the great merchant had provided re-
past for his 400 employees, in order that they
might remain aud witness the gorgeous
spectacle. A small army of men and boys
were eating at four long tables, and Mr..
Rouss moved about among them laughing
and joking and urging them to enjoy them
selves in spirit. He was as young as the
smallest boy there, and certain it is that
none were happier than he.
No building in New York City was more
beautifully decorated than was the monster
edifce at $40 Broadway The eleven-story
front was decorated with hundreds of United
States flags, and brilliantly Illuminated with
electric light. The elegance of the decora-
ton consisted in its simplicity.
Speaking of Mr.. Rouss, what demo-
cratic individual he is. What &C trast
between him and hundreds of other men in
this great city of ours, who have not scored
one-half his success. There is no assump-
ton of pompous dignity about him.
As a general thing if you have occasion
to visit merchant of any standing in New
York, you are stopped before you can get
anywhere near him by a three-dollar-a-week
office boy. The youth asks for your card.
After receiving it he scrutinizes it carefully,
looks you over from head to foot and then
subjects YOU to a cross-examination as to
your business with his employer. If your
answers to his questions are satisfactory to
him he may condescend to take your card
in, but the chances are abont even that he
will say Mr. So and So is out, to save him
self little trouble. If you should be so
fortunate as to have your card taken in to
the gentleman you wish to see it is more
than likely that you will be left to your own
meditations for at least half hour and per-
haps longer.
Not so when one calls on Mr.. Rouss.-
When you enter the door man station
ed there asks what you desire. You tell
him you want to see Mr.. Rouss, and you
are at once directed to the floor above where
you find the merchant surrounded by reg
imeut of typewriters and bookkeepers. You
make known your business to him and if
you are deserving of attention you will get it.
And yet some people wonder why one
man fails and another succeeds. The net
spot cash system does not tell the whole
story. DORsE BEALL.
