trim question, was the great American po-
reaching in all dil eotions. Laughter. 1t
was so weak in the joints it had not single
pair on which it could stand alone. If any
thing was wanting to show that the demo-
cratic party as Il party WAS for free trade,
the favorable report on this bill had sup
plled the proof. Part of the cry was that it
wanted free raw materials. Ana they
classed wool as raw material. They abso-
lutely ignored the fact that eight tenths of
the value of pound of wool represented
human labor and skill. The democratic
party Ill the house did not know what to
do with its immense majority, secured
by false pretenses and stupendous lying.
1t was the most unmanageable mob
ever assembled in the capitol of any nation
since the days of the French revolution.
Political death stared more than half the
democratic members Ill the face. The po-
lltlcal kindergarten from Massachusetts
promised sound finance and an honest dol
lar; the sOckiess statesman from Kansas
promised carloads of cheap money to every
constituent free of cost. In the course of
Rays speech, while he was citing figures
regarding the price of wool under the pol
icies of protection and of low tariff, he was
frequently interrupted with questions by
pendleton NV. Na.) Simpson and others.
Finally Ray stated he was not a teacher in
the democratic kindergarten and would not
be further interrupted by gentlemen who
could lind all tho information they wanted
in the proper books, and further intimated
that the Questioners were sadly in need of
information. Meredith (Va.) replied that
although they might need information re
garding the tariff, they did know the cour-
tesy that ought to obtain between gentle
men. Sensation. Ray thought he could
show as much courtesy to members as the

The gentleman desires you to under

lloNpoN. March 1.-THE inhabitants of
Claire island off the county of Mayo, Ire-
land, who are mostly fishermen aud miser-
ably poor. resisted the bailitfs sent to seize
their property by creditors. The magis-
trato at tho nearest town on the mainland,
Lewisburg, summoned them to appear for
resisting the otlicers. After heating tho
testimony he ordered the case to be heard
the next day in Westport, thirteen miles
away. Having no money to pay for con
veynnces, the Islanders were forced To walk
the enti,e distance that night and, being
poorly clad, suffered severely from the pre-.
vHillng gale, Many would have persisted
had it not been for the kind hearted yillag--
ers, and some of the women were unable to
reach Westport. The magistrate when the
case WAS called, learning the latter fact,
WAS incensed ut what he termed dlare-
spect of law. After Il lo1g lecture. in which
the great goodness of tho crown and how II
was tempered with Justice ana mercy had
been delivered by the magistrates, thu
islanders who blended guilty, were ordered
liberated if they gave bail for good be-
hAvior. As they had no friends in West
port and nothing of value of their own, the
bonds have not been furnished. There is
much indignation throughout the country
at the action of the magistrate.

tonight ex-President Cleveland said he
thought the main issue next fall would be

were on the ground and have the battle TO
fight. Regarding ultimate democratic sue

and it's principles and fulfilled ita pledges,
it cannot be defeated.

A TIFF IN THE HOUSE.
While Talking for Free Wool Two
Gentlemen Threaten to
Pull Some. a"s=
Largest Wool Manufacturer In
the Country Supports the
Springer Measure.
The Excellent Reasons He Eave-Only Wav
To Increase tho Market for Ameri-
can Manufacturers.

WARRINGTON, March 1.-THE tariff dis
cnEslon III the house to-day WAS more than
usually interesting; and there were several
ilyely passages which forcibly reminded
one of the fierce political scenes of the last
congress when this all-abkorbine issuo was
at the front. The speeches Of to-day on
both sides were we'll fortified and Listened
to with great deal Of attention by the
members. The somewhat unique specta-
Gle of the largest individual WOODEN manu-
facturer in the United States arguing in
favor of FREQ wool bill was presented
when Stevens (Mass.) took the floor in
support of the Springer bill. The demo-
Gratis paid close attention to his remarks,
greeting his arguments with applause. No
less t1attering was the attention paid
Montgomery (Ky.), and the eoloquiea
IN which he became engaged during the
day showed him an able defender OF
the work of the committee. Brookshire
(lnd.) took occasion in the course of his
speech to denounce the So called reciprocity
scheme of the republican party as delu-
sion and snare. Ray IN. Y, was the
chief republican orator of the day. and
succeeded in provoking more than usual
partisan strife, and it looked for time as
though his altes cation with Representative
Me'edith (Va.) might surpass parliament
sary bounds. Stephens said he believed the
pending bill would benefit alike manufac-
turers of woolen goods and the great mass
OF American people who consumed
them. The abolition of the duty on
wool did not mean necessarily a
smaller demand or lower prices for
American wool. It meant that both Amer
loan wool and foreign wool could be used
to the best advantage for purposes to which
each was best adapted. and that they could
be mixed III proper porpotions in all sorts
or fabrlcs. 1t meant that more wool could
be used than is used to-day because foreign
wool at less duty would take the place of
shoddy and other limitations, and more
genuine wooen goods would be sold to
American buyers and it might mean in the
future perhaps, also the opening of new
markets to American manufacturers
Reduced taxes and lower prices always
meant increased consumption.
Montgomery then took the floor in sup
port OF the measure. He made strong

Boulder Notes.

BOULDER, March ll.-[Special l-Yester-
day afternoon an attempt was made to
plunder the residence of Mrs. S. NJ. Righte-
nour. The burglar forced an entrance bv
climbing to the second story and rumaeetl
through hout the house. The county super
intendent of schools, who lives in the same

He escaped and no arrests have yet been

The December Forum

The leading subject of the month i., of
course, the recent elections, and one of the
most interesting personalities in politics, made
more prominent than ever by his reelection,
is Governor William +. Russell OF Massa-
chusetts. Governor Russell has in the Decem-
Der number Of The Forum an article on the
principles involved in his own campaign and
their bearing on next years presidential eec-
tion-,his. of course, from Democratic point
OF view. This article will be followed by one
from Republican point Of view. The grow
ing protest against the misuse Of pensions is a
subject OF the widest and deepest public con
cern. The most significant action regarding
this is the recent organization of the Society of
Loyal Volunteers for the purpose Of amend
Ing the present law that has proved 30 fruitful
OF abuses. The originator aud organizer of
this society, Lieut.. Allen Il. Foote, veteran
OF honorable record, explains in the Dece mber
Forum its origin and purpose and makes an
eloquent appeal to his comrades. This article
will be followed BY others on different phases
of the same subject, and smong the writer.
Will be Gen. Henry W. Slocum.
