SOME Republican papers hereaway,
mot very bright or astute in their day
and generation, have tried to make
small modicum Of political capital out of
She fact that we still have a pretty con-
siderable stock of sheep in Southern
California, and that the Democratic pro-
gramme in congress is to remove the
duty on foreign wool. The fact is that
the wool raisers on this coast would be
benefited by the free importation of the
long staples Of Paraguay and Australia.
california wool can only be proftably
worked in with the others, and when
these are excluded by high tariffs,
our coast woods are without a
profitable market. The pretense,
however, that duty on wool is
necessary to enable farmers to keep
sheep with profit has been exploded a
hundred times. In 1890 Mckinley in
CREASED the duty on wool, and the next
year the clip sold for diminished price.
The New York World says that
free-trade Great Britain and Ireland,
with population Of only 81 800 900 and
"a area In square miles less than one
half that Of Texas, had in 1855 nearly
20 ,000, 900 sheep. The highly "pro-
fected'' United States, with q popula-
kion of 62 ,O00, 900 and unlimited cheap
land, had in 1890 but As 200, 900 sheep.

soldier HUNG Up by the Thumbs for
Cheering for Frick's AssaiIant.
HOMESTEAD, July 24,-Thc news of
the attempted assassination of Mr., Frick
reached the military camp on the hill
top on the other side Of the river about
$50 o'clock yesterday afternoon. This
camp is but little frequented by visitors,
so it happened that the terrible punish
ment aud the great disgrace Of a man
who had expressed his appreciation of
the Anarchistic deed all passed many
hours before any outsider heard of il.
The man was a private soldier VI Com
pany X of the Tenth Regiment His
name is Thomas lams, and until he was
paraded in disgrace before the whole
brigade very few outside Of his own
company had heard of him. He is a
young man, less than 80 years of age,
and comes of a good family. His father
was at one time commissioner Of Greene
county, and quite wealthy. The young
man is II drummer for Pittsburg house
and although his home Is in Waynes-
burg, he is in Pittsburg most of the time
| and has large circle of friends there.
He was standing in front of his tent in
the company street cleaning his rife.
| There were dozens of soldiers standing
and sitting about in idlcness. Lieutenant
! Colonel James Strcator, who, while
Colonel Hawkins is acting rs commander
! Of the brigade, is in command of the
| Tenth Regiment, approached group Of
men and said "We'vc just heard ter
| rible news from Homestead. Mr.. II. e.
| Frick has been shot"
"Who did it, Who did it?" Iams
asked eagerly. The soldier to whom he
put the question did not know. lams
returned to his tent, took up his rifle
again and stood for Il moment buried in
thought. Then he raised his voice and
cried: boys, lots give three cheers fol
the man who shot frick and hourny.'
All voices ceased and the mon looked n
one another in CONSERVATION. Colone

HOMESTEAD, July 22.-The departure of

there had been any hope that the

his movements to an official farewell visit
to General Sunwdcn'S headquarters on
| Shanty Hill. None of the local leaders of
the strike were invited, directly or indi-
rcCtly, to lay their case before the COVER
nor, and for their part they showed no
disposition to ask his aid in their ditfi

On the slope going to see General Snow
den, Governor Pattsou passed alongside

arrived in this country several yenrs
ago. He was II wears old and lived ON
Forty-secopd street. In Vienna he was
associated with Josoph Peukert. an
Austrian, who has posed "a n rabid
Anarchist for many wears in different
parts of the world Berltman was of
late years one of his most devoted
pupils. Peukert was then editor of nm
Anarchist papcr published in Vienna
and called Die .IutoaoD,is. Peukert
organized a rroup of Anarchists under

PITTsBuRG, Pa, July 24.-Henry G..
Prick rested easily to-day. The physi-
clans who arc attending him said to-
doubt that he would fully recover from
the wounds inflicted on him by the Rus
sian Hebrew Nihilist, who attempted to
murder him in his office Saturday after
noon.
His temperature is 90 and he seems to
be quite cheerful and confident of his
recovery.
FIFTH WOUND DISCOVERED.
A curious thing was that another cut
was discovered to-day which was missed
in the examination made Saturday. II is
in the left leg just below the calf and
has almost severed the tendons. He
complained OF pain in the leg, but his
attendants imagined that it was Of the
other wounds he spoke. II was of course
carefully dressed and relief followed
The patient has passed the day listening
to letters and kilograms and debating
replies. He has also gone over the
papers quite closely and discussed theil
contents.
FRICK STILL IN COMMAND.
1t is the intention of his associates in
the company TO let Mr.. Frick continue

that the worry and anxiety of enforced
