FOsTORIA. Ohio, is much stirred up
over a miscegenation case that r.
Gently occurred there. The pastor OF
the Methodist church Of the place. Il,
white man named Thompson, was
married to mulattress, Libbie Hawk.
She is said to be a young woman Ct
good education and refined manners.
She has been member Of MIR. Thomp-
sons church for long while and has
been very active in church work. The
minister hes been paying her ver.f
marked attention for several months,
SO much SO that the officers of tho
church have several times remon-
strated with him about it. Finally ha
married the girl and his congregation
insisted on his leaving. and closed tho
church. Northern people. many OF
them, have been wont to say that they
did not see anything particularly out
of the way in such marriages, but
when it comes down to the concreto
fact, they feel great deal as tho
southerners do about it. White men
will be white men.

Wool Prices Under Free Wool.

The wool market just now affords
a good study for the political wool
growers of the country. 1t will pay
them to study facts awhile and to for
get their theories and their calamity
cries.
In 1890 Mckinley listened to the
pleas of Delano, Harpster and Law
renee and granted them greatly in
creased duties on woods in order to
raise prices. But prices never decliu-
ed so much and so rapidly as during
the four years of McKinleyism. The
decline has been almost steady, ex-
cept that it was checked for few
months after. the election of 1892, and
that it was changed into an advance
during the last two months. The de-
cline has been from 35 to 60 per cent.
High duties on wool then have not
caused higher prices as these wool
prophets predicted. This is mistake
number one.
Nothing was more certain, in the
opinion of some of the wool growers,
than that free wool would greatly re-
duce prices of domestic woods and
ruin the wool and sheep producing in
dustries. For the first time since 1916
all woods are now free of duty. What
now are the facts up to date?
All woods became free on August %.
We quote the following prices of for
eign and domestic woods from the
American Wool and Cotton reporter:
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1894-09-27

the chief feature of the Boston wool
market has been ssthe purchase OF q
million and half pounds of Montana
oy manufacturer, and concludes
that lit has been. on the whole, a fair
week for trade. and woods in general
have been sold at as high price as at
any time during the month medium
woois are specially firm. The feeling
in general is hopeful" Under New
York. the Reporter says. ..despite the
uncertainty surrounding the markets.
there is no quotable change in prices.
There are good many arguments fav-
oring stcadiness in prices of domestic
for some time to come"
Prices of domestic wool then have
not tumbled with the adoption of free
wool. as was predicted by the protec-
ton prophets. This is mistake num-
two. It might be supposed that after
such monstrous failures Delano, Law
renee and Harpster would withdraw
into their shells and never peep again
on the wool question. This is. how
ever. unlikely. The real question now
is. Will the real wool growers ever
again believe these false prophets

The Moral Issue.

The Louisiana bounty-grabbers who
have bolted the Democratic party and
decided to support the Republican cau-
didates, have done good service in the
way of emphasizing the moral issue in
the protective policy.
These men throw aside the political
principles which they have professed,
desert the party which represents these
principles and join former opponents
whom they have denounced as sup
porters Of principles and policies i'm
imical to the public good-why? Not
because of any change of view or con-
version to Republican principles. but
merely because the Republican party
gives and the Democratic party denies
them millions of dollars in spoils FL
ched by legislative decree from the
pockets OF the people. The Demo-
cratic party yielded to those bounty
grabbers ample compensation in
protective tariff, but they want the
Republican bounties in addition, and
while protesting to oppose Republican
principles and policies. join the Re-
publicans because the Democrats de-
cline to add bounty spoils to tariff
spoils.
No mark of patriotic pretense or plea
of general welfare can disguise the
fact that this is bribery. 1t is foru,
OF that corrupting influence which en-
abled the Trusts to "hold up" the Sem
ate and which prevents by log-rolliug
and Indirect and direct bribery tho
adoption of honest reform legislation.
1t shows that protective legislation
taints both the votes at the polls and
the votes in the Legislature.-Post-D Dis

John Snerman's Rival,

Senator Daniel w. Voorhees,, who, as
chairman of the senate finance commit
tee, did everything in his power to pre-
vent Democratic Legislation in behalf of
silver at the extra session, and who
put aside his own convictions to further
the interests of money lenders and
bondholders, is making tremendous
effort to recover the popularity that
was his before he undertook to be a
supple tool to promote the greedy aims

of the gold trust. Talking to the Wash
ington correspondent of The Cincinnati
Enquirer last Sunday, he made the fol-
| lowing statement, which under the
circumstances, is calculated to astonish
the public:
'.On the subject of silver" said the
senator, II stand where 1 have always
stood-in favor of silver money pro-
| vided for in the constitution, on an
absolute equality with gold, with the
same right to be coined that gold has,
by private individuals without any
discrimination as to mintage against
it. The idea that this country, with
its great growth and development, can
hobble along on one metal and one
alone, and that the metal of the small
est quantity, is as absurd as to expect
a one-legged man to become the fore
most foot-racer in the world. We need
both metals coined up to the limit of
production and on terms securing their
absolute parity. which parity can
always be secured by the government
treating each metal with the same re-
spect and comforting on each the same
power as money. Intrinsic value, to
my mind, is just what money will pro-
cure for the wants and necessaries OF
life. My position on the question OF
silver money does not depend on what
other nations may do or on an inter-
national agreement. This Govern
ment Is quite capable of fixing its cir
culating medium to suit itself, with
out asking permission of European
governments or bankers. / think it
beneath American dignity to ask the
Rothchilds or anybody else on the
other side of the ocean what we may
do in our own affairs
And yet Mr.. Voorhees, was such a
vigorous and determined enemy of sill
yer at the extra session-hc was so ut
terly opposed to Democratic legislation
in behalf of the free coinage of silver
and in pursuance of the pledge in the
Chicago platform-he was SO intent on
causing collapse in the Democratic
policy and on carrying out the pur-
poses of the gold trust-that he made
a physical wreck of himself for the
time being by his arduous efforts in
their behalf.
Day after pay, he stood up in his
place, pale and hallow.eyed and re-
sisted the efforts of the Democrats who
desired to redeem the pledge of the
Chicago platform. Day after day he
snapped and snarled at their unanswer-
able arguments in behalf of the peo-
ple's interests; day after day, he re-
sorted to the sharp practice that goes
under the name of parliamentary tao
tics to thwart those who were sincerely
in favor of the free coinage of silver;
day after day he bent all his energies
to bring about collapse in the Demo-
cratic financial policy; and now. after
succeeding in carrying out the goldbug
policy that has brought ruin on the
country he declares that he is in ia
vor of the free and unlimited coinage
of silver by the United States.
There is but one other enemy of sill |
yer coinage that can be compared to
Senator Voorhees,, and that is Senator |
John Sherman Constitution. |

This is indeed strange phenome-
non for the consideration of National
Wool Growers associations. Prices OF
foreign have declined about 40 per
cent, while prices OF domestic woods
have advanced about 10 per cent dur

something Was wrong. and at once set out
to investigate. He obtained a clue of the
crook, and learned that he had hired n
team at livery stable and left town.
Several hours were spent in searching for
him. but IN vain. Finally. shortly before
midnight, Racicot returned to the livery
stable for further clues. He had been
there but short time when
the supposed agent came driving up
without the machine. however. The
moment he saw Racicot he recognized him,
and started to run. The real agent per-
sued him. and ordered him to stop. Finding
his pursu-r was gaining, the crook turned
and struck Racicot, prostrating him. Then
he ran on again. RacIcot was not rendered
senseIess by the blow. and having regained
his feet. continued his pursuit. The
fleeing man turned to repeat his former
tactics, but Racicot drew a revolver and
fired, striking his man in the hip, infiicting

CURRENCY DEBATE.
The Discussion ON the Carlisle Bill Open.
cd Kathcr DrNly.

cd Rather Dryiy.
WASHINGTON, Dec lg.-Thc discussion
on the Carlisle currency bill began in the
house, but the opening OF the debate was
n disappointment. 1t lacked both spirit
and interest and was devoid of sensational
features
Mr.. Springer, the chairman Of the bank
ing and currency committee. who made
the first speech in support of the measure,
gave a plain statement of its objects. its
details and gave n review of the arguments
in its favor ON the lines of those contained
in the report. Mr.. Walker the leader of
the minority OF the committee, devoted
most of his time To an elaboration of his
own bill. AS usual, he was incisivc, en-
phatic and aggressive, and the house gave
close attention.
Mr. Hall, a Democratic member Of the
committee from Missouri, closed the de
bate for the day.
An effort to agree upon the limitations
of the debate failed, and IL will probably
be allowed To run ON for the remainder of
the week without a vote. After the holt
days the committee ON rules will, unless
the measure loses its caste in the mean
time, bring in rule to close debate and
force a vote.
Another resolution providing for union
with Canada made its appearance in the
senate, having been introduced by MIR.
Gallingcr of New Hampshire, who stated
that he would do everything in his power
Mt any time tn further the contamination
of such union.
Senator Hill delivered a speech on his
proposition for n rule to close debate,
which was listened to with close attention
by many of the senators.
Mr.. Turpic continued his speech in de
nunciation of the Nicaragua canal bill, de
claring that IL appeared to him tn have
every indication of a gorgeous bubble.
An urgency deficiency bill appropriating
500, 900 for public printing and binding
was passed.
