AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

Colonel 3. i. Jackson of SiskiyOu County,
who is one OF the commissioners to the fair, is
anXiously awaiting The appearance OF a live
goose which is supposed to be on its way 10 this
city and which, If Its identity proves what every
indication points IL TO be, VIII effectualy knock
the pins from under all the tales ever told about
a goose not living to great age. History does
not tell US at Just what age the "old gray goose"
died of which the old song treats but he gen.
eral impression seems to be that the fowl 10
question seldom attains greater age that len
or twelve years The evidence at hand how
ever. would seem TO indicate that his goosesbip
OF which This item treats Is hale old fellow Of
over fOrty-hve years. Colonel Jackson gives
the following particulars Of The gOose'S early
history: I'm 1S49 1 and eight other Oregonians
ran across Kit Carson and General Fremont
with a small force OF men near the sink of The
Humboldt In Nevada. They had been rounded
up by a lot Of Indians but we beat them of
and all went into camp together on the spot
Provisions had got pretty low. and one day
Carson proposed TO me that we 90 out and try
for some deer. we started out together and
met with poor luck, and while separated from
Kit / took shot at fat buck in the brush, but
he got away from me. just after l fired [
noticed a fiultering sound coming from the dI-
rection in which l had aimed. and upon in
vestigaton L found young goose which had
in the thick underbfush and thus prevented
from escaping At this iuncture Carson came
up and 1 proposed that we take rest, at the
same time telling him that was going 10 MAI k
the goose and let it go. For this purpose
took the tin tag which always came around the
percussioD-cap boxes furnished by Uncle Sam
IN those DAYS and marked the initials of my
name and The date on the tag in heavy and eu-
during characters with a file, which We carried
TO repair the locks Of our Guns. This tag was
twisted around the goose's leg in such man
ner as 10 prevent its falling of, and he was re-
leased. That was the last ever heard of the
goose until few days ago, when letter in
formed me that Jim Sturgeon, editor OF the
Homer Index, had the goose in his possession,
alive and well. My information states that the
tag is intact and that the initials are still plainly
visible"

matters, IL Ia reality was not TO blame IN any

PROTECTION FOR WOOL.
Growers and Dealers Make an Ar
peal to Senators.

Growers and Dealers Make an APP
peal to Senators.
The wool-growers of the State have de-
cided to make one more effort to secure
recognition of their interests in the franz
ing of the new tariff law. While the Dill
was before the House of Representatives
they addressed many appeals TO California
representatives, asking that wool be ac-
corded the same protection as other I'M
portant Industries, but no step In that d.
rection resulted. although vast quantity
of information relative to the importance
Of the business in this State was forwarded
for the enlightenment of the legislators.
At large and earnest meeting of the
Wool-growers' and Dealers Association
held yesterday afternoon at 426 Townsend
street it was determined to try TO secure
the desired enactment by appealing TO the
Senate.
It was unanimously resolved to send the
following telegram TO California Senators
at Washington: Whereas. All other
prominent industries are protected, in
justice we ask protection for WOO"
On motion of j. l.. Moody, Chairman j.
Rosen berg appointed S. Koshland, B. P.
Flint and Isaac r. Hall a committee TO
bring the matter in detail by letter to the
attention of the Senators.
Chairman ROsen berg said, after the
meeting, that as the wool schedule of the
Wilson bill would come up next week this
was most opportune time to move in the
matter. 1t was matter of vital import
ance to the business that it be given a
place among the protected articles on the
list. 1t was but right that 1t should be
done, as in California there are A. 600
sheep producing annually s.. ZOO, 0O0 pounds
of wool and bringing into use 10000. 600
acres of land which could not be otherwise
utilized. Unless a tariff be plac ed on for
eign wool the business could not be sue
cessfully conducted.

FREE TRADE NEW YORK.

In the year 1860 the capital employed in
manufacturing in New York State was
Sl72, S95.652 value of products. $37S. $780,
936. There was rapid and nearly uni
form increase up to 1890. when the capital
employed reached 81. 200, GOO, 900 in amount
aud the value Of products 81, 600, 600.
Nearly all these manufactured goods are
sold in the United States. But the import
ing interest in New York City has through
the Tammany organization overcome the
rural districts and cast the vote of the
State for a tariff for revenue, with free
trade in the near future. One year with
another the electoral vote of New York is
determined by the excess of the Demo-
cratic vote over the Republican. In 1884
the Republican majority in the interior was
large enough 10 overcome the Democratic
N a jority in New York City and Brooklyn.
1t is IN these cities that about nine-tenths
of the importing business Of the United
States is done. The importing interest
doe not compare in magnitude with the

MUNICIPAL POLITICS.

The weak spot in popular government is
the government Of cities. The remark has
been made before, but each passing year
furnishes a reason for its repetition.
There does not seem any permanent i'm
pTovement in this direction. Once in
while there is a vivid flash of reform, but
the old darkness, little more dense, if
possible, succeeds. The per capita ex-
peDse Of governing an American city is
about three times as much as that of gov
ernlng European city Of corresp ending
size. Still the work goes on. The tax
payers groWl. but when the old crowd
present two party-tickets again the tax
payers vote one or the other according 10
political preferences.
There is a very general admission among
men who have given the municipal puzzle
careful study that the only way to secure
good municipal government is to take
municipal affairs out of national politics.
A city is a corporation in general for GER
tain purposes and should be considered on
business principles. The municipal issues
are Of sufficient Importance to stimulate
organizations solely on municipal Issues
There are always propositions before tie
public upon which the public take side
There are the propositions for the city to
procure its own water supply, for it to use
its own gas works. to construct street rail-
roads. to spend large sums of money on
improvements, to increase the police and
fire departments, in short to do or not to
do a great many things that will affect the
comfort and happiness of citizens May
not municipal parties be organized on such
issues, leaving voters free to act with either
Of the three, four or half a dozen national
parties on national issues? Isitnot foolish
for a resident of San Francisco to allow
his views on local issues to be subordinated
TO bis opinions as to free trade, silver, the
Hawaiian Islands OF other questions upon
which our opinions are expressed " hen we
elect Congressman and members OF the
Legislature who elect Senators? If mu-
nicipal parties are organized solely on
municipal issues voters can follow his
convictions as to both national and mu-
nicipal politics without the least clash.
But with national tickets in the field local
Issues will be subordinated. Niue voters
out of ten will vote their party ticket with
out thought of the effect of its success
upon local affairs. In every American city
there is majority Of voters who want
clean city government. There are more
voters who want to keep taxes down to
the lowest point consistent with efficiency
than there are who profit by loose and
lavish expenditure. Yet the minority win
every time. a sounding resolution in a
party platform calling for an honest and
economical management OF affairs brings
the voter to the polls, national party
ticket in hand. lie votes for or against
free trade, for or against silver. for or
against the annexation Of Hawaii and a
spirited national policy. but he does not
make his influence felt on the administra-
tion of the affairs of the city in which he
resides

MAY ACT ALONE.

The Philadelphia Record quotes disap-
provingly from the Denver Negs that in
respect to silver the United States must
not act in conjunction with other nations,
but must adopt and carry through an indie
pendent American policy. When the
Nelys said that the United States must
not act in conjunction with other nations
It meant doubtless that we should not
wait for nations TO act which are not dis
posed TO act. The United States does not
desire to act alone, but at the present time
there is 90 well-defned movement toward
union Of nations. The Record is one of
the few American papers which think that
the United States must wait until England
is convinced that the time has come to
adopt bimetallism. Other journals may
hold that the United States. with It's CON-
parative independence of foreign trade. is
in position to lead in a bimetallic union
without the aid of England.

PLENTY OF GOLD.

The London Times has reached the con-
clusion that tine supply Of gold is suf-
ficient for all demands that may be made
upon it. The Times seems to have con-
founded an accumulation of gold in one
spot with an increase In the supply. But
the countries from which gold is being
drained do not make any such mistake.
When they have to produce twice as much
wheat, twice as much cotton, twice as
much silver and all other products OF the
earth to buy gold dollar as would suffice
twenty years ago; they understand that
stacking gold up in the Bank of England
does not mean that gold is plenty.

can do the importing for the South and
