The Wool Puzzle

The Indianapolis Journal says
that wool-buyers in that state have
been instructed by their principals
III the East not to pay more than
the English price with slight allow
ance for the cost OF Importation.
Their reason is that the new con-
gress will repeal the duty on wool, and
that the cost of that staple will fall
by about the amount of the present
duty. They say that wool now pur-
chased cannot be manufactured and
put in market before the new tariff
goes into effect, and that they must
take this fact into consideration in
purchasing.
On the stump and in their organs the
free traders have always contended
that with freq wool the price of Amer
lean wool would advance. But that
does not seem to be the opinion of
those who are now buying, and it
has always puzzled the American
farmers to understand why, if the as
sertion of the free traders was true
that in the case of all other articles
the price was increased by the
amount of the duty, it should have
an entirely different effect upon the
price of the farmers products.-Miz-

CAUSES that are perfectly vel
known have begun to bring about ex
actly the shrinkage in demand TO r
American labor which was foreseen
when the people were considering
their decisions last year. The iron
and steel workers at some points
thought proper to vote for the party
Of change, as was their right, but it
is also their right to bear their share
OF the consequences and their duty
to help make the results as little dis
astrous as possible to other workers.
This can be done only by uniting in
a reduction of the cost Of manufac-
ture, 80 that the great competition
which is to be expected may close
fewer works in this country.-New

ELI PERKINS, writing from Ne
braska to The New York Sun, tells of
some of the wonders of the Western
country, including a 4OO,O0e-horse
power stream that rushes through
the town of Gothenburg; and of
housewives in Ksarney who heat sad
irons, fry eggs and make battercakes
by electricity. And yet the New York
papers go on prating about "the
wild and woolly West" Eastern
people will this year more than ever
before be able to form an opinion of
the West from personal inspection
and the romancers of New York and
Boston newspapers will have to
change their tunes.

The Same Old Party.

The denomination of Governor
William Mckinley by the Republi-
cans of Ohio has aroused a great COM
motion among Democratic and dep
uty Democratic newspapers. Promi-
nsnt among the agitated ones in The
Providence Journal. That organ of
New England Mugwumpery shrieks
IN hysterical tones that the proceed
ings of the convention at Columbus
prove that the Republican party in
Ohio and elsewhere is "the same old
party that it has been "neither
chastised by defeat nor instructed by
rebuffs."
The excited Providence Journal is
right in it's conclusion. The Republi-
can party is "the same old party"
the party whose patriotism and
craftsmanship restored the republic
shattered by Democratic traitors and
placed the United States in the van
of human progress. In naming as
their candidate q man who stands
for the fundamental principles of
Republicanism the Ohio Republicans
simply did their duty. The Republi-
can party is a party of principle and
not of expediency. 1t has beliefs, and
1T fights for them. 1t did not accept
Bull Run as proof that disunion and
slavery were right. 1t will not &C
cept the result of last November as
proof that free trade and a degraded
currency are what the nation needs.
The Republican party has been the
steadfast champion of the constitu-
tional rights of every American citi-
zen; it has demanded the protection
of American labor that the nation
might be industrially independent
and that the working man might re-
ceive wages sufficient to enable him
to rear his family in intelligence and
comfort; it has insisted on maintain
ing every form of United States cur
rency at its full value; it has advocat-
ed liberal pensions to the men who en-
dured wounds and hardships and
faced death for the cause of national
unity; it has declared that the flag of
this country shall be respected and
that the rights of it's citizens shall be
protected in every quarter of the
globe.
To these principles the Republican
party will consistently adhere, not
because it believes they are expedient
but because it believes they are eter-
nally right. The Press assures The
Providence Journal that it will con-
tlnue to be 'the same old party"
battling in the future, as in the past,
for the truths on which the advance
ment and prosperity of the nation
are based. 1t will not emulate the
Democracy in demagogic trickery in
order to catch votes. It will stand by
it's principles as it stood by it's guns;
and with the same ultimate result

STRUCK a MINE IN A CITY LOT.
a Rich Deposit of Cinnabar in the
Heart Of San Francisco.
From the San Francisco Chronicle

John w. Mccarthy paid A B. Nc
Creery 1913 600 for the lot on the south
east corner of McAllister and Devisadero
streets. 1t was his intention to erect a
row of buildings on the site, and with
that end in view he commissioned Owen
McHugh to grade it and construct brick
foundation for him.
The men had been grading away for a
few weeks or so when they struck hard
clayey substance that contained large
amount Of rock of a crYstallized form. A
foot below this a stratum of hard red
rock was found These circumstances at
tracted no attention until about a week
ago, when one of the labOrerS who had
worked in the mines, noticing the weight
of the substance, examined il closely, and
Immediately recognized it as CHINA bar.
He straightway made his discovery
known to McHugh, who in turn notified
Mccarthy. The latter took several pieces
of the ore to q mining expert and had
them tested. The result was so fiatterlng
that he Immediately decided to forego his
determination to erect a row of fats.
Several experts have valued the ore so far
mined at from $500 to $500 ton.
Since the discovery of the deposits has
been made known hundreds of curious
visitors have visited the vicinity among
them many old and experienced quicksil-

who for many years has been superintend-

Mr.. Mccarthy is trimming over with

the streak of luck in which he is APP
.parently playing. He has been APP
preached by scores of confidence men,
who are eadeavoring to have him form
stock companies to work the mine, but to
all he has turned a deaf ear. He has
sufficient money himself to work it for all
it is worth, and is willing to run any
and all risks that may be incurred. BY
this evening he expects to have the lot

for queer English The East Indian is

many cases he becomes enamored, seem

uses words to the detriment of ideas

Net His Fiancee After Nine Years

From the san Francisco Examiner.
Oakland, April PIP. S. Lemos,
came to Oakland to-day to get married
He met his bride for the first time in nine
years, and was this evening committed
to ACnews Asylum for the Insane The
shock OF meeting her and the prospect of
seeing all his hopes accomplished was
more than he could stand, and he became
a ravng maniac
Lemos came from the islands of the
Azores nine years ago, and started TO
make a fortune for himself in Contra
Costa county. When he came away from
his old home, nearly ten years ago. he
left little black-eyed maid waiting until
she should hear from him in far
away America, to tell her that he had
made a fortune for her and bid her come
to him.
Lemos went to Biroues valley, in
Contra Costa county, where he bought a
small ranch. He worked hard and
watched his property grow in value and
his business increase. and as he worked
he dreamt of the PARKWAY island and the
little maid who was only waiting for a

nervous energy that drove him insane on
his wedding day.
One day he made up his mind that

waited for so long was at last sent She
! was to come to Oakland, Join his brothers

for his brothers house. Everything was

| He walked on air from the time he left

! he could not hurry enough to reach his
! brothers. home. The door was opened
! He rushed into the house and to his

Shrek of delirium, and Lemos became a
raving maniac. The strain of waiting,
! the OverWOrk, the anxiety, the delight at
meeting her, had all conspired to under
mine his reason. The tension had broken
and his mind had gone with it.
| He was taken to the county Jail where
it was found necessary TO put him in d
straight-iaclIet. He raved about his mar

for the purpose of preventing the mar
riage, and that all had conspired to keep
him away from his bride. The examina-

wedding day he was committed to the
