Mulligan's Death.

Western Veteran: The heroic de-
fense OF Lexington, Mo-, by Colonel
James A. Mulligan, in 1861, bad
enough of glory attending it to canon
ize a score of men, but even then it is
was not a climax of the career OF that
gallant Irishman. On returning from
captivity he was offered q generaPs s
command, but preferred to remain by
his old regiment, the Twenty-third IL
linois, commonly known as the Irish
Brigade of the west. He was in the
Shenandoah valley in 1864, when the
confederates, under General Early.
passed through on their way to Mary
land and Pennsylvania, and in the
fIht near Winchester, on July 24th,
led "A gallant charge into the enemy s
lines. He received three wounds, either
of which would have been mortal.
His companions, among them a
brother-in-law, attempted to carry
him back to the union lines, hut see
ing that the flag was in danger of cap
ture by the victorious confederats, he
exclaimed, "Lay me down and save
the flag" His wish was obeyed, anC
| the banner was rescued, but the con
| federate forces soon closed around tn,
helpless hero and he died aprisoner o
war two days later.

He Built the Lovers Line. /"

Col. c. A. Broadwater, one of Mon
tana's milIionaires, who has been at
Fortress Monroe for two months try
ing to rid himself OF a severe and dan
gerous attack OF the grip, has come to
New York for the purpose OF taking
an ocean voyage, says the New York
Press. He will sail with his family by
the North German Lloyds line on
what is known as the Mediterranean
trip, and hopes to find recovery in the
sea voyage. 1t was Col. Broadwater
who built the Montana Central rail-
road, which is now leased line to the
Great Northern road, and connects
Helena and Butte City by mountain
route which was considered perfectly
inaccessible for railroading. 1t is so
full of tunnels that it is facetiously
termed the Lovers Line" One oil
the tunnels is over a mile long; an.
other is built upon a curve, and al
either entrance to it the other open
ing can be seen across narrow val
ley from the train.

Since 1872 prices have declined
about 100 per cent. The explanation
IS found in the fact that the number
OF sheep as well as the average weight
of fleece has rapidly increased from
year to year in all the countries from
which the London market is supplied
In 1870 Australia produced 134 600.
600 pounds OF wool, in 1890 265,-
600, ,OOO-an increase OF nearly 100
per cent. During the same time the
production OF the Argentine Republic
went from 1877 900, 900 to 295, 5,OOO,-
600 pounds per annnm, while that oi
Africa increased from 46, 1000, 900 to
55, 100000 pounds. Our own pro-
duction in the meantime sprang from
1 "a, 100000 to 271, 10000 Would
it not be wonderful ii prices did not
go down all over the world under the
pressure OF this phenomenal expan-
sion in wool production? And does
not the free traders charge that
American protection is the cause of it
appear silly in the light of these facts?
The truth is that the American wool
industry would have been ruined dur
ing these years OF falling prices in the
worlds market were it not for the
protection afforded them by our tariff
laws.

For His Health Only.

LONDON, March 2.-Secretary of the
Treasury Foster arrived at South
hampton this morning from New York.
He at once took the train for London,
where he was met by Minister Lincoln.
In an interview he said: My mission
is solely to regain my health. / have
no intention OF seeing Goshen or any
one else in regard to silver or immigra,
ton. / shall sail on my return to the
United States next Wednesday.
may go to Paris Friday"
In talk with an associated press
representative about new immigration
relations, Secretary Foster said the
government had no trouble with the
British lines nor with the general trans
Atlantic and North German Lloyds
companies. The great difficulty was
with the Italian lines. When asked
who would be the Republican candi
date for the presidency, Foster said
President Harrison.

Wool Demagogy.

Detroit Tribune: The Springer wool
bill is n sample of tariff revision based
on demagogic principles, without re-
gard to the Industrial interests of the
country. Its whole intent is to de-
ceive the people. Itcannot be enacted
into law and it will, therefore, have no
effect upon the domestic wool indus
try. But it must be judged by what
it's effect would be if it could become
law. 1t would, in the first place, re-
duce the revenues S2S, 100000 This
would have to be made up by taxa
tion in some other form, probably up
on incomes. Free wool. as the Trib-
une has repeatedly remarked, near }
the ruin of the wool growing business
of our farmers. There can be no pos
sible doubt of this. Wool prices have
fallen even under the higher duties of
the Mckinley tariff. To what I'M
profitable point would they not drop
without any protective duties at all
upon cheap Australian woods?

General Washington and American Manu-
factursd Goods,

Would that all Americans had the
love OF country and OF home institu-
tions that possessed the spirit OF
Washington. His adopted son, George
Washington Parke Custis, in a letter
to Thomas Carbery, dated April :.
1899, relates an incident which well
illustrates the Americanism OF the
Father of his Country. Says Custis:
ain 1893, when in command OF his
last army, in which | had the honor
to bear a commission, a blue coat
with embroidery was the arrangement
made by board OF general officers as
the costume of the chief. Washington
merely asked, Can this affair he done
in the United States? On being told
no. that the embroidery must be
executed in Europe, the venerable
chief declined the whole affair in
stanter."

Guessing on the Result.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The Her
AIDS Washington correspondent has
been preparing a table showing the
presidential preferences OF delegations
to the national convention. Thecom-
pilation is made on basis OF 900
delegates. The correspondent classi-
fies 2S5 for Cleveland and the most OF
the remainder for some western man.
Cleveland, he says, seems to be the
choice of California, Connecticut, Del
aware, Maine, Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, Ohio, Rhode Island, South
Dakota, Vermont, Virginia, Washing
ton, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
Hill is said to be the choice Of Color
ado, Florida, Idaho, Maryland, Mis-
sissippi, New Jersey, New York, Penn

MKINLEY LAW VALID.
Decision to that Effect By the Supreme
Court Of the United States.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 29.-Three cases
in which importers sought to test the
constitutionality of the Mckinley
tariff act were today decided by the
United States supreme court. The
court affirmed the judgments of the
New York and Illinois circuits of the
United States in favor of the constiu-
tionality of the act. Justice Hanlan
read the opinion. He said the court
had given most careful and deliberate
attention to the question now raised
for the first time, as to the courts de-
termining whether the act signed by
the president was actually the law
passed by congress. The object of the
journal required to be kept by con-
gress was not that it might be con-
suited to determine the authenticity
OF an act of congress, but that there
might be publicity of the proceedings.
The signatures of the two presiding
officers and of the president was COM
plete authentication OF the bill pro-
viding the forms required had been
complied with. The suggestion that
there might be a deliberate conspir-
acy between the presiding officers and
the president to make law not passed
by congress, the court said, could not
hold. The enrolled act, the court held,
was conclusive. AS to reciprocity the
court says various decisions OF the
court and the practice OF years estab-
iIsh the right of congress to give the
president power by proclamation, at
future day, to revoke or modify GER
tain clauses OF the act. 1t holds that
it was not a transfer of Legislative
power, but simI ly gave the president
power to determine whether the time
had arrived which the requirements of
congress as to the act taking effect
specified. The president. the court
says, is not vested with any real legis-
lative power. Congress prescribed the
condition under which the president
should act. All he had to ascertain
was that a particular fact existed, and
then he was directed to execute the
act. The president was mere agent
OF the lawmaking power.
With respect to sugar bounties, the
court says the argument that the
validity of the whole act is involved
in the question as to whether or not
this clause Is valid, Is 80 obviously an
error as not to warrant much argu-
ment. There is no such connection
between this part OF the act and other
sections as to warrant the court in
assuming that the rest would not
have been adopted but for the adop-
ton OF the bounty system. They are
entirely separate in purpose.
Justice Lamar and Chief Justice
Fuller concurred in the finding of the
court, but dissented from that part
holding the reciprocity section consti-
tutional. They held it was a trans
fer of legislative power, but concurred
in the conclusion on the ground that
there was no vital connection between
the reciprocity section and the tariff
portions of the act.

Fighting Bob Evans.

Fighting Bob" Evans, now in COM
mand of the Yorktown in Chill, earned
his title in the attack on Fort Fisher,
in the late war.
Evans, then a midshipman, was
alighting from a boat with the marines
when bullet hit him, making severe
flesh wound. Not mindinR that, lac
led the way up the slope to the breast
works, when, in attempting to scale
the ramparts, shot broke his leg.
Seizing rifle he lay on the ground
and kept picking off the gunners as
they attempted to load one OF the big
guns of the fort.
The Union forces were repulsed in
this attack and Fighting Bob" lay
all night in the moat. In the morning
the Union forces made another and
successful attack on the fort, and wher
the marines reached bob" up he ros,
and with his rifle as a crutch led hi,
men again to the attack. Congress
in recognition of his pluck, promoted
him, and his brother officers dubbed
him Fighting Bob. New York Re

Railroad in the Holy Land.

The first railway to Jerusalem will,
it is reported, be opened in the spring
OF the coming year. 1t is a short line,
running only from Joppa, the nearest
port on the Mediterranean, and in

passenger and other traffic between
that place and the Holy City. The
work OF construction is being carried
out by a French company, who be
gan laying down the line in April
