A POINTER TO WOOL MEN.

ELLlsvILLE, MISS. Feb. 10, 81.
EDITOR FREE PREss:-The nav
tariff bill, placing wool on the free
list on August 2, 1894, and reducing
dn!ies on wooden goods on Dec. 2,
1894, has passed the House, and 1t
is fair to presume that the bill will
60 through the Senate without ma
terial modification. at least 50 far
as wool and wool-ns are concerned.
The reduced duties On woolen
goods not going into effect until
near the close of the present year,
gives the American manufacturers
one more season to run their mills
before the changes take place.
The fact Of enormous quantities
of wool having been sold in the
e stern markets since January ~
(when it bsc .me known that Aug.
p aud Dec. 2 had been fixed "a the
dates when tho new schedules go
into ~ffecD, shows that mvnufac'ur.
era will take advantage Uf the re
spite.
A good demand for wool At about
present current values must follow.
Hence believe It advisable to sell
their wool now before the decline
in prices sets in, which is bound to
come with tie approach of the new
clip and free wool.
Therefore those that have des
cided 10 sell their wool I would be
pleased TO correspond with them IS
to prices, etc.

was announced in the person OF the ever
popular General w. 81. 1. Barnes.
Barnes is in his best form on these oc-
casions, always. he is an entertaining
speaker, and has quaint touch OF humor
that never fails 10 tell. He caused laugh
by his opening, ''Old gents and young
ladies'" Then he spoke of the "unex-
pected" honor the committee did him In
permitting him to address the society on
so auspciOus an occasion. 1T occurred
to me as strange that they should select so
young man." he said. "Why did they
not choose some one who moved more ln
the lie OF those who saw the first stirring
scenes-the carly stars Of the night Of
early Californian
The old waThorse took extreme relish
in these and similar remarks. Then, bav-
ing got solld with his audience, he pro-
ceeded to descant further. He told his
well-loyed story. how that when he first
arrived on the coast there was no rail-
road, the stage stiH wound it's way over
the mountains, and the stories of the
pioneers and their splendid deeds were
still in their verdancy." How grand and
beautiful they seemedi How full of
romance!
"Those deeds will ever be Cherished in
memory and be held to the hearts of
pioneers until p2lsied fingers shall hold
them no more. Is there q soldier of that
early march of civiIiZali n who can forget {?

a great gathering filed Pioneer Hall
yesterday. Old warriors flocked there,
decorated with their ribbons of glory,
while the civilian element was represented
only in uniform by silVered locks and, in
surprisingly few ins tances, STOPPING forms.
OF the visitors, who were legion, there
We're many persons we'll known in this
city, and as the hall was prettily decorated
for the occasion. bunting being literally
displayed, the effect was of the most cheer
ing description.
Exercises" are always de rigueur on
these occasions. To the youthful mind
they suggest calisthenIcs and dumbbells,
but to the initiated they signify the solemn
following out of a programme which might
be selected as fitting TO do honor TO the
dead. And in an assemblage like the pres
ent there was something quite solemn in
the functions rendered by a society of men
whose days are mostly of the past but who
will live to memory as long as the glorious
State Of California pI oudly lifts her banner
to the breeze.
The exercises commenced with a selec-
1on from an orchestra conducted by Pro-
fessor O.. Sauvlet, after which Christian
Refs, president of the society, bade wei
come TO all-cOmers in a few well-chosen
words, closing with the presentation Of
Charles D.. King, son of James King Of
William, as chairman Of the day. Mr..
King took the chair at once and introduced
Rev. S. 81. Wiley, who offered up prayer.
A musical selection by the orchestra
followed, after which the orator of the day

Following the secretary's report was de-
lvered the address of George w. Gibbs,
chairman OF the building committee. This,
as before stated, was delivered by ROlla V.
Watt in the absence of Mr.. Gibbs, and in
its terms formally turned over the build
ing TO the trustees of the association.
The address told of the difficulties that
had to be encountered and obs acles over
come, and very high compliment was
paid to the contractors. 1T was stated
hat these gentlemen had continued their
work uDin.erruptedly ever since ground
was broken on March IL. 1893, despite the
fact that the committee were several times
forced to defer payment beyond the stipu-
lated date. The result was that the work
was completed no less than three months
before the contracted time. Besides, $4,000
was saved from the original contract price,

out on the stump seeking jobs who talk Of
things much less important than the re-
strictlon and control of foreign iEmigra-
tion-tariff. free trade, silver. etc.-but
who never speak of this"
The orator exhOrted his hearers to re-
member that the people of this State who
suffered in order to form their State
should now come together In one commit
tee. For unless things we're provided for
a religious war would be the result So
General Grant had predicted, man who
said much in few words. In conclusion
General Barnes appealed TO every man,
woman and child in the State to prove
worthy af his country by vigilance of the
blessing of liberty. The orator spoke in
his free, witty style. and his speech was
followed by prolonged applause.

he continued, "aDd look out on your mag

people of this city will give it half a

suppose not work, die" or in other
words the old phrase Of ''root hog, or die"
The motto which was chosen, ''By her
own wings she flies" he thought singu-
larly appropriate. He told of the progress
of diversified farming and closed with
reference to PeDnoyer, who. he declared,
had been a danger TO the State from the
perseverance of two qualities, through
honesty and good nature. These two factors
in man who was in the wrong road were
had been a corrupt man, whom the people
would not follow. His retirement from
Oregon politics. however, removed the
menace.
The speaker concluded by saying that
Oregon shared her glory with California.
The whole coast had Identical interests.
There should be % jealousy between CON-
monwealths, but above all, State or Sec
tion, was America. and the honest patriot
ism placed the whole nation first.

we think of that weary watching and wait
ing! They shall live forever-those
pioneers"
Then the orator spoke of the building
erected as an everlasting memorial to the
organization. Then be referred to the So
clety,s benefactor, James Lick. "It
would be poor day." he said, when
memories were not alive of that curious
and rather cynical old gentleman whose
nenehcence has endowed US, James LICK.
On such a day as this what thought Is
there that does not turn toward the noun
tain where quietly rests the remains OF
James Lick?
''He deprived himself of almost the very
| comforts OF existence and lived almost as
solitary and rugged as a peak OF granite
on the crest of the Serras in order that he
might endOw this State. His benedictlons
will continue to shower light on this
people long after his remains have
crum bled finally into dust in the heart OF
the mountain where he rests. Let there
never be day when he is forgotten. Let
us build for him in the hearts OF the people
! of this State monument of memory. more
enduring than monuments of bronze or OF
! brass"
Then General Barnes spoke of the aus
! picOus occasion, Admissiol day. What
shall | say of this daY-the Gay Of the ad-
mission of this State? The State that led
| Tile sung Ol liU-IAY III lu0 NllDO u COL-
| promises is yet the goden-robed girl who
/ took her seat among her sisters In the
| Union, a perfect stranger. There are
! fourteen new sisters since. How little
they knew of the good and splendor of her
| achievements She is above all and over
all loyal from the SierraS to the sea to the
! flag of the Union.
''lt seems impossible that there could
! have been a time when she could
have set herself apart. The danger came
and passed. She was never more secure
than now. There was never less reason
than now to think that our Institutions are
not enduring, but there never was time
when pioneers and dsons Of pioneers should

of their country than now. This IS the
| lime and this is the place to inquire, What
| is the matter with this country?
What is the matter with the American
| people? l don't mean with those who
come here. The fact is. we do not love
our country enough. We do not sufti-
GENTLY exercise that vigilance without
which the preservation of the blessings Of
| liberty to posterity cannot be assured"
The orator talked in this strain for a
long while, reminding his hearers that the
franchise was not merely prvllege-lt
was a duty. He called attention to the

NEW POEM BY JOAQUIN MILLER

Among the various celebrations of the
great anniversary Of the admission of Cali
1ornia TO place among the States of the
Union none was more thorough in its
heartfelt sincerity than the simple obserV-
ance of it by the Society of Pioneers.
These veterans who have looked upon
the progress of the city by the Golden Gate
since the glad times of '49, are now rapidly
growing fewer and fewer. Members of
the old society die in numbers every year,
but as if on that account alone each cele-
bration is marked by such earnestneSs of
