TIE UOOLLENS CENSUS.

The Democratic Committee Of Ways and
Means had scarcely made its absurd rcpor, favor
ing its Wool and Woollcrs bin when the census
Of woollcn manufactures in 1890 came to make
the bundcrS OF the committee ridiculous. This
is the Industry, be it remembered, that Free
Traders declared in tho campaign Of 1883 had
been protected to death. But it appears that the
capital invested therein had been almost doubled
in ten years, and the quantity Of wool consumed
therein, 372, S73,7l3 pounds against 29G. 1872
229 in 1880, had increased 26 per cent, about
as much as the increase in population, not~ith
standing the great change Of fashion and public
preference in late years toward cloths containing
mixtures OF cotton or silk. This remarkable
change in taste must be kept in mind through
out in order to understand the figures correctly.
II is hardly a week since the Democratic leader
in the debate in tho House declared that over
lO0,000OOO pounds Of Shoddy was used in tho
wcolien Manufacture, and that there had been
an extraordinary increase under protective duties
which had. in fact forced the manufacturer 70
give the people more Shol1y and less wool than
ever before But the census shows that G1.-
626.2Gl pounds Of waste and shoddy were con-
Sumed in all branches Of he manufacture, in
Cludlng le.t goods. wool hats, carpets ana hosiery
and kni, goods, against 52.165,926 pounds 50
used IN 1880, IN increase of only 1s per cont
IN ten years. The Increase in shoddy used was
0,460,335 pounds, but in wool the increase was
76,6sI4s4 pounds, or &c Per cent. Once more
Il is seen that Democratic theories have no other
support but Democratic falsehoods. The census
does not show as yet what part of the waste or
shoddy was used in making coarse blankets,
horse-coyers and similar articles. But in the
production Of all woollen goods IA distinguished
fTom uorsted felt bats, carpets and hosiery, the
increase in consumption of shoddy was only
5,27s.410 pounds or | / per cent.
Another assertion vcciferaed by Democratic
leaders is that in consumption Of wool the manu-
facture is actually dying out so greatly are
shoddy and other substitutes used because wool
is too costly. 1t is true that the use Of cotton

The House Naval Committee, while declining
| TO authorize the construction Of additional battle
ships, does not venture to oppose the increase OF
the Navy as a matter of principle. 1t frankly
admits that eight nine vessels Of this class are
needed in addition to those already designed and
under construction. Its preteXt for allowing a
wear TO elapsc before another battle-ship can be
authorized is that armor-plate cannot be de-
livercd promptly for the ships now building, and
hence that it is useless TO plan additional vessels
Immediately. This is a shallow plea for ObS,ruct-
ing the development of the Nations naval le-
sources The manufacture Of heavy stec amor
is new industry, which has been introduced
with difficulty, but with the magnificent plant
now owned by the Bethlehem Works serious
delay in furnishing material for the Navy is not
to be appiehendcd. The best method Of pro-
noting promptncSs Of delivery is tina, of increas-
ing the Governments orders for amor plate.
Time will be required for designing new battle
ships and advertising for proposals, and when
the material Is wanted it Will be supplied.
Chairman Hcrbert's report is d;S:ngennous.
The committees real purpose is TO cut down the
naval appropriations to the loves; possible limit.

THE BROOKLYy EAGLES TRIrMPH.

TIE TRIBUNE extends 10 1.-THE Brooklyn
Eagle and its counsel congratulations over tho
outcome Of tho Jones .bel suit. The jury after
midnight Saturday, having been out more than
a day, returned with verdict for the defendant.
This was no ordinary victory. The verdict was
rendered at the conclusion Of trial that had
lasted six wcekS-pcrhaps the longest trial in a
civil libel suit on record. The action grew out
of the publication by "The Eaglc' Of long
series of articles rejecting upon the methods
and treatment employed by Mrs. Mary A. Dixon
Jones in conducting the Women's Hospital in
Brooklyn. Tho defendant entered rs courage
o,lsy and manfully in the courts upon tho de-
fence Of the action as it did in its columns upon
the exposure Of the abuses which il alleged TO
exist in tho institution. II has justified its claim
to stand a. an exponent Of fearless press sup
porting public concerns at the risk OF its own
immediate interests
Tho record of Justice Bartlett in this case
deserves more than passing notice 1t is sell
dom indeed that a Judge at the conclusion of "a
long and holly contested litigation has the salts
faction not only Of having the many and volum-
nous requests to charge withdrawn by counsel
upon both sides but also, as in thu instance, Of
having the case g to the jury without a single
exception TO the charge This was the unique
tribute paid to the faculty which Justice Bart
lett displayed of presenting the case with en-
nent fairness, impartaty and clearness. A
perusal Of the charge a, given to the Jury fur
nisheS evidence of the justice of this tribute
A Judge who can at the end Of six long, weary
weeks Of testimony present the case so correctly
and impaIiay TO the jury as to earn such com
mendation from all parties is certainly possessed
Of some unusually good judicial qualities.

Homiletic Exercises.
To the Tobacco Leaf-Chronicle:

10 tn6
The Palmer Homiletic Society, of
the University, held a public meet
ing last evening in their hall. Pres
ident Conoly called the house to
order and Rev. J. J. Hill opened the
exercises by reading psalm and by
prayer.
A popular address was delivered
by Mr.. Thorne from Heb. XII, "a and
25. He drew many instructive les,
sons from the character OF Moses.
The address was an unusually good
one.
An essay was read by Mr.. S. II,
Graves on the subject, sis divine
revelation necessary ?" Mr.. Graves
handled his subject well and proved
conclusively that a revelation is nec-
essary. Messrs. Hill and Tenny
made short talks on the subject after
Mr.. Graves had finished.
A homiletic address was then
given by Mr.. McDougal on mira
cles." The address was very fine
one and complete refutation to the
arguments of Hume upon this sub
ject.
After Mr.. McDougal had finished
short speeches were made by Messrs.
Jenkins and Thorne.
Mr.. Storment acted as critic, and
after his report was heard DIR. Price
closed the meeting by prayer.
A good crowd was present and all
seemed to enjoy the exercises. The
hall was filled and the boys were en-
couraged by the people who were
brave enough to venture out in such
inclement weather. X.

The Mccain Law.

Under the new law the cost of
handling a hogshead of tobacco on
the Hopkinsville market, says the
Kentuckian, is 81 25. The charges
are divided as follows: Insurance 25
cents; cash advanced for inspection
and cooperage 81; storage, not ex-
ceeding four months, 81 selling pub
licly or privately, 81. Total cost
81 25. If the hogshead has to be re-
sampled an additional! charge of 81 80
is made. This makes the cost of sell.
ing about what it was before the State
undertook to regulate the tobacco
business.
