IT seems that Republican statesmen
commit a great many plumbers in com.
pelling prosperity. In 1867, for in.
stance, John sherman, one of the best Of
them, finding that the price of wool was
81 cents per pound, and wishing to
make himself solid with the wool growers
Of the Ohio reserve, induced congress to
put protective tariff on it to increase
the price. The price began to decline.
In 1870 the price had dropped to 46 cents,
in 1880 TO 40 cents, and at present is
down to 25 cents. In twenty five years.
with a duty SO high as 70 shut down
hundreds Of mills. the price Of wool has
declined to less than one-half of what IL
then was. An explanation of this
phenomenon is due from the pro
tectionist While he processes that tho
tariff duty is imposed on tin plate to rem
der it cheaper he tergiversates easily and
consciencelessly TO the contention that
the tariff renders farm produce dearer
Both contentious are usually false. and
both serve to show any candid man that
prices, wages, profits cannot be fixed b,
acts of congress.

the universe may be said to be happy.
But there is some doubt as to the cor
rectness of these honied, care dispensing
rumors We have a sneaking notion
that Carnegie, Prick and their pow
erty struck infant industry need
moneys and that the men
have been so dreadfully overpaid
as to become bloated aristocrats, un-
willing to release their mortgaged homes
to other rich working immigrants, and
indisposed TO work themselves. Per-
haps, however, IL is not unwise for both
parties ITO give it out" that they are
satisfied, for that course will release
them from the clutches Of the inveter-
ate, itinerant newspaper man, while it
will not affect their conditions for the
worse. and may assist them in bearing
the ills they have cheerfully. IT, after
Senator Higgins has concluded the bar
gain for Mr.. Sperrys silence, the people
Of this country still cherish one particu-
lar wish above another, it is that both

his friends made that arrangement by
which the people were paying $50, 600, 900
per annum bonus for American steel
rails, none Of which Mr. Carnegie got, we
hoped they would be satisfied We were
surprised, however, to learn that the men
had been cheating and overreaching, and
that Mr.. Carnegie and his amiable part.
ner Mr.. Prick were not getting their
proper shares That being tie case We
are naturally rejoiced that the men have
been locked out, and that the Pinker
tons have been requested to kill few Of
them to keep them quiet. 1t is cheering
now TO know that both parties are salts
fed, even temporarily.

shot. Two men were coming towards
Freshman up the railroad track and a
third from the opposite direction. A
stone was thrown by some unknown
party and fell at the feet Of the two men,
who pulled their guns and four shots
were fred. One Of the shots stuck Flesh

The two men who did the shooting
then ran away. An hour later Flesh
man was discovered lying insensible, and
taken to his home. The attending physi-

No matter what a pelawarean's politi-
cal preferences may be it is humiliating
to any loyal and proud member Of this
tight little commonwealth to have him
referred to contemptuously. The Phila.
delphia Record says:
Senator Higgins, Of Delaware, tells an
interviewer that the CRY" of Force bill
as an issue Is dead But IL would be
much more to the purpose If the Della
ware senator would say whether he re-
CARDS the Force bill itself as a dead issue.
He strenuously supported the last Force
bill; and there is nothing in his talk to
indicate that he would not support a new
one with alacrity. The people of the
South have cause TO distrust profoundly
statesmen of his class. After the election
he will sing very different tune about
the Force bill
Unfortunately we cannot dispute the
contention of the Record The writer is

won't to refer to men Of ability, character
and exalted position, especially il they
are Delawareans. with contumely; but we
cannot counteract the impression that
the editor of the Record intends to make.
We are sorry we cannot. Senator Hig-
gins has aligned himself with too much
alacrity and vigor with the statesmen OF
the Force bill class to be defended even II
he did not have such embarrassing and
discreditable local connections.

The "Broollyn Wheeler" Durant at War
ner's Wharf Unloading Cement.

The steam barge Durant, of Brooklyn,
n Y, is lying at the Charles Warner
company's wharf unloading a cargo of
lumber.
The Durant is an odd-looking boat and
none of its class was ever seen in these
waters. The boat is propelled by pro
peller which is set nearly out Of
the water. The boat is one
of three which ply between
New York and Brooklyn and are known as
Brooklyn Wheelers. 1.-THE boat is manned
by Captain Nicholas Lawson. This boat
is not near so fast as the improved pro-
peller, it having taken her seven hours
to make the run from Philadelphia TO
this city Captain Lawson expects to re-
turn to Brooklyn tomorrow on his odd
craft
