get out notably fine edition, with
visw to its availability for circulation

"A CONVENTION OF WOOL MEN.

The Wool Dealers Protective associs.
tion have called convention to be held
in San Francisco on January 10th to
protest against wool being placed on the
free list. All who are interested in wool
are invited to be present on that date.
1t is almost inevitable that wool shall
be placed ON the free list, and very
logical argument can be made in sup
port of such policy. The circular itself
admits that wool ie now below the cost
of production, and we may add that
this has been the case for some years
past. The committee of wool men,
headed by Mr.. John E. Shoobert, claim
that the low price of California wool is
due to the contemplated placing OF that
staple on the free list by the Wilson
bill. We do not believe that this con.
tention can be maintained. Many in.
WOODEN interests believe that the only
hope for our short California staple lies
in the admission OF the long Australian
heeces free OF duty. The attempt to pre-.
vent the placing OF wool on the free list
will be abortive. Nothing is more GER
tain than that it iH one OF the things
sure to go there. In his celebrated mes
sage Of 1887. Mr.. Cleveland made his
principal argument on wool, and even
the New England manufacturers now
demand free wool. Ohio and California,
the two states from which vigorous pro-
tests may be expected, will be power
less to prevent the contamination OF
the new policy. What is to hinder the
grading and raising of sheep for NUT
ton? Both lamb and mutton command
high prices in the markets and are a
most delicious food staple. The cir
cular calling the San Francisco conven-
ton takes melancholy view OF the
matter, and looks upon the enactment
OF the Wilson bill as fatal to our sheep
interests. This is entirely too jaundiced
view to take of the interest, in our
opinion. Wool could not be in worse
plight than it is now, and there is at the
lsaat the possibilities of ito iraproni-s.

AMUSE M E NTS.

Los ANGELES THEATER ALI the praise
bestowed in other cities on Charles
Dickson and his company and the play
entitled Admitted to the Bar, presented
last night, was we'll deserved. 1t is q
long time since the theater-going public
have eeen 80 complete performance rs
that of last evening. The high position
which Mr.. Dickson holds in the dramatic
profes eion was more than verified last
night by his performance of Jefferson
Ward, the young attorney. His work
throughout was clear, artistic and as
perfect an exhibition of the refined,
gentlemanly American lawyer se one
could imagine.
To specify any individual member of
his company, would be a difficult task.
Each and every one are fitted into their
parts with dovetail nicety that made
it seem more like witnessing an incident
in real life than a play.
Admittance to the Bar will be repeated
at the matinee Saturday afternoon. and
tonight for the first time Mr.. Dickson
will produce a farce comedy entitled
The Bridegroom. This play is brim
full OF bright lines and funny situations
and is said to be an equal, and in some
respects, superior OF Incog. which Mr..
Dickson will play Saturday night.
