Hon. William e. Barrett has just been
elected speaker Of the Massachusetts House
Of Representatives for the fifth time con
secutively. The contest over the position
had a remarkably harmonious ending, Mr..
Bennett retiring from the field and Mr.,
Barrett receiving all but one of this 23l
votes cast. 1t ia only comparatively few
years since Mr.. Barrett was hustling about
for news as u local reporter for the st. AL
bans Messenger, and be seems to have con-
tinued to hustle ever since that TINA in poll
ties as wei, as journalism.

Tho democrats are not SO enthusiastic
over thar chances of securing control OF the
United StateB Senate through combinations
with the populists as they were. 1t is said
that the situation is such as to make it pos
sible that in some case, there will be no
election ct this term Of the Legislature in
Northwestern States and that the governors
may have an opportunity to appoint soma
tors temporarily. Aa the governors of
these States are republicans this is not an
agreeable prospect for those democrats who
really want the Senate.

[From the West Randolph Herald
We notice that Mr.. Messsr, the worthy
master Of the Stats grange, in his annual
address, says that while he favors the new
highway Law, it bears hardest on the farm
ers as ali taxes do. Let US see. A ajor-
ity OF the voters ere farmers; they elect the
members OF the Legislature, and ma jority
OF That body are farmers; they make the
laws. The farmers are in a majority In
threo-fourths of the towns in the State aud
they in turn elect the listers who take the
lists and carry the laws into effect. II the
taxes bear more heavily on the farming
class tnan on other classes Of citizens, whose
fault it is if not that o. the far msrs them
ssivesy But as far as the highway and
school lava are concerned, these do not
bear 30 hard on the farmers a the other
classes OF taxpayers There are nearly 100
incorporated villages aud cities in the State.
One-halt OF the grand list OF the whole
State is in these villages aud ci,ies; but, as
they have small mileage and ANAL num-
Dor OF schools they receive back only c
very small part OF the 5 per cent State
school, and the . per cent State highway
tax; while farming towns with a small
grand list and large number of school.

Lovers of law and order will be discour-
aged to learn that the number Of murders
committed during 1892 reached the enor-
nous number OF G792, as compared with
1906 the previous year, 1920 in 1890 and
1867 in 1889. According to this record of
crime his number of murders nearly doub-
led during the past three years. This Bos-
ton Record thinks that real enforcement
OF the immigration law would reduce tho
number Of murders immensely and in this
it is doubtless correct.

Wool Trade in the United States.

During the recent national campaign our
democratic friends, through the press and
from the stump, loudly asserted that the
Mckinley tariff had injured the sheep in
dustry in the United States. 1t now tran
spires, however, that there was large iu-
crease in the number Of sheep in the United
States during the past year, and the wool
trade is shown to be in a most hourishing
condition. The Commercial Bulletin prints
in its annual statistical review of tho wool
trade of the United States number of
comparisons with 1891, from which it ap-
pears that the number of sheep in the coun-
try increased from AZ, 430, 600 to Al, 939
coo, gain Of 1,50S, 900 during the year.
The United States clip increased from 307
401, 557 pounds to 333, 01S, 405 pounds.
The stock of domestic wool on hand De-
csmber 81 in Boston increased from %, 705,
800 pounds to 80, G59, 800 pounds The
stock of foreign wool in Boston increased
from ], 800, 300 to 4,34l, 900 pounds. The
soles for the year in Boston increased
80, 292, 141 pounds over those of 1891.
Boston increased her rales by 5000, 900
pounds more wool than the entire increase
OF the domestic clip. The total stock in the
country is but 6S, 3J4, 90 pounds domestic
and IS, 1853 $50 pounds foreign, against
| 10, 901, 400 pounds domestic and 81. 154, 500
pounds foreign, Dec. 81, 1891. The con-
sumption of all grades of wool by American
mills shows an increase of 80, 900, 900 pounds
over 1891. 1t will be interesting to COM
pare these figures with those which will be
available at the close Of the first year after
the democrats get through tinkering with
