FREE WOOL.

Free wool has already operated to de-
press the price of that staple in The
United States, while it has advanced in
foreign markets.
This merely means that manufactur-
ers of woolen goods in this country are
TO receive none of the sr:all benefit free
wool ought, theoretically, to confer upon
them.
The classes OF woolen fabrics that
could be advantageously produced with
the aid of wool grown in other countries
and imported duty-free are kept in the
hands of foreign mill owners by the
simple device of raising the price of for
eign woods to equalze the reduction to
Americans, the abolition of the duty
promised.
Thus il appears at this early date that
whatever benefit is to be derived from
free wool is to accrue to the foreign
mill owners, while the domestic
wool grower is compelled TO mar
ket his product at rates that
assure him that his long struggle against
the heavy odds of pauper wages paid by
English textile manufacturers, and the
starvation pay Of Australian sheep
raising hands, has not only been entirely
useless in the past, but is to be entirely
hopeless in the future.

Fashion Note From Rhode Island.

There seems to be discomfort at Newport
because tradesmen have prevented the de-
parture of certain members of the smart set
who refused to pay their oils. We understand
that some OF our fashionable friends would
very much like to have the law so modified
that well dressed people cannot be annoyed
by inconsiderate tradesmen.
THE Rhode Island law gives the creditor a
right TO arrest the debtor IL the latter be a
nonresident of the State; and although re-
lease may be had on ball. the stigma Of arrest
can be placed all the same" IL is easy to be-
lieve that the stigma Of arrest is CALLING to
sensitive individuals who are trying to get out
of town without paying their debts.
The Rhode Island legislators seem to have
sized up New York fashionable society and
wisely prepared for probabilities.

Senator HILL is playing the best game
Of politics OF his life. He so managed
the convention that the nomination was
thrust upon him against his will, he has
held off long enough in his delay
OF his acceptance 10 give those who
Were inclined to bolt his nomination
chance to be whipped into line, and
has forced the Administration to come
to him begging that he stand by as
suring him of its hearty and
fullest support. IL there should be a
bolt it would be dictated by HILL for the
purpose of weakening his rival, Mr.. Nor
TON, aud not by the enemies of HILL for
the purpose Of killing HILL Ii he should
by any chance be elected Governor
again, and it would not be so very as
founding if he were, he would stand
acknowledged as the Democrat par ex-
cellence for the party's nomination in
1896.
Denounced few weeks ago by the
administration as traitor, read out Of
the party by its organs, he now stands
as the Democratic candidate for Cover
nor in the most important State in the
Union, highly endorsed by the
administration, and at the reque>t Of its
leading members.
The anti-snapper Democracy does not
"throw him down. much as it would
like to, and the administration realizes
that the fight now on is one Of party and
not men.
HILLS adroit manipulation of the
card excites the admiration if it does
not win the approval of his opponents,
and the mastery way in which he is
playing the game brings the fact no me
very strongly that the Republicans Of
New York must be united. aggressive
and active if they desire TO overcome
the most powerful antagonist the Dem
ocracy could put up against them.
1t is foolish to consider HILL as an
easy man to beat. He has never relin-
quished his control of the machine. He
knows New York politics from A to u,
his personal aims and ambition are con-
cerned to have gone into the present
contest without every belief that lie
would win. 1t is for his interest TO
make his task appear as difficult as pos
sible for then the greater would seem
his victory.
But while the Republicans should not
lull themselves to sleepin the belief that
HILL can be beaten easily, neither should
they err in overestimating his strength
and thus give up m advance. Mr..
MORTON can be elected this year hands
down if the Republicans of New York
do their duty, and there isn't Repub- |
lican who does not know what his duty

The Nurseries.
American Economist.


The American people love the country and
strive hard TO save money enough to
buy little country place of their own.
They take pride in their country homes,
buy nursery stock from the near by
nurserymen and plant out their own trees
and shrubs and vines. II is pleasure to
watch the healthy American stock as il grows
and thrives year after year. But what will to
the result If some OF this foreign stock gets
among the healthy plants and kills them I?
Who wants this foreign stock coming from
goodness knows where and stricken with
goodness knows what pests of horticulture?
There are 23OO women who find work In the
American nurseries. earning from 321S cents q
day In North Carolipa up 10 a dollar a day in
Massachusetts and on the Pacific
Coast. What are these women 70
do il deprived Of their occupation2
There are over 25.000 men who find work in
the nurseries. earning from go cents a day in
South Carolina up to sl.s7l5 a day in Idaho.
Where can these men turn for employment
il the country is flooded with foreign nursery
stock? What will their wives and families
do for food?

A DISMAL GATHERING.
Democratic Committee Too Forlorn
to Censure Its Chairman.

Some OF the members of the Rhode
Island State central committee, which was
organized in the days when a Democratic ic
party was, met last evening and told eac h
other what might have been II each one
had done as he should. They
talked about the postoffice and of Mr..
Georges successor Just as IL they really
expected Mr.. George was to have . sue
cessor before the coming In of the next
administration at Washington, and then
to complete the irony they speculated
among themselves as to what two gentle
men should receive their Congressiona
nominations.
Some one proposed . change In the
basis OF representation Of the State and
district conventions so that more dele
gates might have o show and some one
else moved that the motion to censnre
Chairman Owen be taken from the table.
Mr.. Owen was obliged to second the mo-
tion himself and then 1t was lost.

The Actors Union has acted for the
first time since this branch of organized
labor was established. An entire COM
pany went on strike in Brockton because
two very bad "union" actors were dis
charged Labor strikes are always an
atlliction. but if audiences have got to
applaud bad actors in order to prevent a
strike, the great and patient public will
be more than ever disposed to crush
