the calamity wall, which the Re
publican campaign managers have
adopted as II party trade mark. is
indofensible and much to bn re-
gretted. as 1t will unquestionably
have the effect of retarding the
growth of the business revival now
beginning to be felt throughout the
country; but from partisan polit
ical point of view, it is mighty
good thing for the Democratic
party, os 1t will convince the doubt.
ing voters that the men who are
directing the Republican party pre-.
Ter continuance of the business
stagnation, for which they are pri
manly responsible, to Il revival of
business which would be properly
credited to the Democratic party.
and Will therefore be worth thous-
ands OF votes TO the Democratic
party from those who are too pat-
rlo'lc to support a party that is
willing to talk down the business Of
the country for the purpose of try
ing to get the votes Of thoughtless
or ignorant people. a party that
has no better argument to offer to
get votes than business misfor-
tunes of the people, for which its
own legislation WAS responsible,
will never be returned to power ia
this country, unless tho people have
much less sense than they are cred
tied with having.

WOOL PRICES UNDER FREE WOOL
The Wool Growers Get Good Prices
For Their Clips Under the New
Tariff

The good effects Of the new tari IT
bill on the wool market are coming
more rapidly than even its most
hearty supporters had dared to wish
The Wheeling Register, through it's
special correspondents in eastern
Ohio, West Virginia, and western
Pennsylvania, has made inqury
concerning prices and demands,
and the result has been far more
than satisfactory to the friends of
the free wool measure.
The correspondent ut Woodslield.
o., the center of large wool-rais
ing country, represented in Con-
gress by A. J. Pearson, whose place
was jcopardized by his vote for free
wool, reports that Alexander Har-
mon sold 10, 600 pounds Of wool
within week at 2G cents, and was
offered as much for the remainder
Of his clip. This he refused, be.
llevlng he can do better before the
first of the year. Clint 81 Pfalz.
graft. also of Monroe county, have
sold their wool within week at %
cents, it being less desirable clip
than that Of Harmon. Miller g.
Co, Of Beallsville, o., are Offering
20 aud p cents, but are getting no
wool. The wool men arc set against
anything short Of % cents. The
report from Washington. Pa, is
that washed wool 10 selling and has
been for week at 20 aud u cents.
Markell s. Co., o: Monogahcla, ARE
Offering and have instructed their
country agents TO take up $50, 900
pounds at from 20 to 25 cents. ac-
cordIng to grade.
Several instance where wool has
sold in the West Virginia panhon-
die at from 20 to 23 cents are re.
ported. Most Of the wool buyers
arc Republican and the fairy stofior
they have told wool raiser within
the past three months are remarka.
bic. They have used every means
to bnlldozc buyers into selling at
from 10 to II cents and have been
able to get at those figures -

On the shores of the Musical Sea-
Rocked on the waves OF the high Il cleft.
In n bark OF the Tamar.ud Tree.
The bass-drummer sits on n music ma

And pounds 70 a tune OF the past.

Blow measures To silent to last
The cornetS and piccolo, silent and grim.
List to this oft unheard strain;
The clarionet's gone To the classical west

The snare drum and cymbals get into a

About leven teen times to the day;
The basso-profundo busticatcd his horn
While piping canary-bird lay.
So they sit ON the shore of this Musical

Playing tired overtures to the Moon.
While the Bugaboo weeps and cozzles

And the Bullfrog tunes his bassoon.
