GALLIPoLIS.
MONEY AMT so
PLENTIFULl

In these piping times of peace
that people care to waste it.
When one reflects how many
hours of labor, how many sacriti-
ces and denials are enclosed with
in the disk of that shining bit of
precious metal we Gala "dollar," "
what wonder people choose to
spend it where the. greatest re-
turnes are given. Knowing this,
we spent one-third of the month
of January in the New York
market, with both eyes open for
bargains. No disappointment.
We found them at even lower
prices than we expected.
Here are a few:
Hemp Carpet, 10 cents.
Ingram Carpet, Is cents.
Rag Carpet, 30 cents.
Heavy Ingram Carpet, rs and
80 cents per yard.
All-wool Ingram Carpet, so to
65 cents per yard.
The best and cheapest China
Mating we ever saw, 124 to 35
cents per yard.
A beautiful fancy jointless
China Mating, 168 cents, worth
25 cents.
Cocoa Door Mats, 40, SO and
60 cents, worth SO, 65 and rs
cents.
The prettiest styles in Tapestry,
Velvet, Body and Moquet Brus-
sells Carpets it has ever been our
privilege to display, at prices
greatly to the advantage of the
purchaser. Never in the history
of our long experience in the
dry goods business have prices
ruled SO low. Think of 5 cents
per yard for very best Lancaster
and Amoskeag Ginghams. Our
new dress goods are beautiful, and
very cheap.
In cur recent purchases we laid
under contribution every textile
manufacturing country IN the
world America for cottons,
domestics, wash fabrics and
woolens; Europe for linens, laces,
embroideries and dress goods nov
elites; and Asia for silks and
brick-a-brack.
Only that which is newest and
best has been selected. Nothing
upon our shelves shows gray from
long occupation as shop keepers,
or sad from constant repetition of
offered service. We have heard
ofmerchants taking the first two
months of the year to unload the
bad purchases of the year before.
We let our old stock go with the
old year, and now invite you to
feast your eyes on the newest and
choicest of the seasons produc-
lions.

1t is a fact worthy of note that
the manufacturers who reduce the
wages of their workmen because OF
the Wilson bill always fail to reduce
the prices of their products. But
this is the Mckinley idea of protec-
ton to American labor. So it's all
right-in Republican eyes. The
workmen will have to grin and bear
it, anyhow, until the salutary opera
lions of the Wilson bill come to their
relief and change this unfair order
of things.

The situation in the streetcar fight in
this city has grown serious this afternoon
A few cars were started at noon. manned

Before the detained cars could get

car received blow on the head which
left an ugly gaping wound. The wound
was dressed after he arrived at the power
house. The police force was incapable
of handling the crowd and the streetcar

The news from Montgomery and
Eagle this morning, indicate that
the trouble between operators and
miners is about settled. 1t was a
deplorabIe affair, and the Governor
had to order out the military to
uphold the laws. Our sympathies
are with the miners who have been
oppressed and robbed by the ope~-
ators. The miners, however, did
wrong in resorting to violence to
remedy the evils complained of,
and forced the Governor to use the
armed militia of the State to uphold
the law.

AT the last meeting of the State
Bar Association of this State, Hon.
Henry NJ. Russell, of the Wheeling
bar, an able and accomplished
lawyer, read paper on the topic:
"Compensation of the Judiciary y
The article is full of interesting and
instructive thoughts. We give the
conclusion of it as embodying our
idea of Judge:
"This increase is not advocated
in order that the members of the
bar may be benefited by having
easy and remunerative places pro-
vided for them. 1t is advocated in
the interests of the State and its
people, in order that they may have
men upon the bench who will be
able to keep up, and even advance
the standard of the judiciary of past
generations. a judge should be a
good lawyer, thoroughly versed in
the principles of the law and
thoroughly familiar with the rules
Il us pFdCIlCe. he snOuIu De lnuuSs
trious, for the labors of the judicial
office properly performed are most
weighty, more exacting and less
agreeable than those of the prac
titioner The judge should be hon
est and impartial, equabIe in dispo
sition, frRd yet courteous. of approx
ed wisdom and last but most i'm
portant, of sound judgment The
man who combines within himself
these qualifications is thoroughly
equipped for the bench and ready
to take a place among its leaders.
The State must understand that it
cannot buy the best years of his life
for a mere trrifie. If it wants his
service it must pay him at least a
respectable compensation.

PoIIticnI Sonhlstrr.

The sheep-owners, or rather some
of them, are kicking vigorously
against the free wool clause Of the
tariff bill. They hold to the old
theory that a high duty increases
the price of wool and brings pros
perity to sheep husbandry and this,
too, in the face of patent facts which
prove the very converse of that prop
osition. Protectionists sometimes
sneer at tariff reformers as students
of maxims rather than of markets.
Here is case in which protection
lists might study markets with profit.
Under low tariff the price of wool
was high. Under a high tariff the
wool was low. And under the high.
est tariff, the Mckinley tariff, price of
wool has sunk to the lowest figure.
These facts teach nothing to the
fatuous advocates of protection
They still clamor for government
protection, and the lower the price
of wool falls, the more clamorously
do they demand more protection.
In the last ten years the importation
of foreign wool has increased one
hundred and twenty-fOur per cent,
while the home supply has increas-
ed only seven per cent. During
this same period the consumption
of wool in this country has increas-
ed thirty per cent, chiefly offoreign
wool. And yet all these years the
American producers have been pro-
tected by a heavy duty on imports.
Would it not be we'll to try the ex-
pertinent of free wool for few years
to discover what effect would there
by be produced on the home indus
try2 Protection has failed to bring
the blessings promised. Now let
the opposite plan be tried and results
compared. That is the practical
way of studying markets rather than
maxims.-Lynchturg Ya.) 4dUdnce

Dissenting Views

the Recommendation to appropriate
S19e, 614 for special mail facilities on

ciple which allows the government to
discriminate IN favor of individual en-
terprises is unjust and demoralizing TO the
system, that Postmaster General Bissell
does not recommend continuance, but
shows in his report that railroads which
had previously been beneficiarits OF the
fund and are not now receiving it, are
rendering as good service asbefore. They
assert that no postmaster general h rec
commended an appropriation of that ch r
acter ard cite Postmaster Generals Lic--
mson and Wanamaker against it.
