At the meeting of the senate finance committee held on Tuesday MT. Sherman asked that hearings be given the wool in dustry, but it was objected to on the ground that if one industry was permitted to be heard the committee would have to to admit all. Later the democratic mem- bers held conference and decided not to have any hearings on the tariff. The members of the national association of wool growers are especially disappointed. They have come here from the most dis tant parts of the country, Texas, Cali fornia, Oregon, Wyoming, Idaho, Mon- taIia, the Dakotas, and many other states, being represented for the express purpose of laying their case before the committee. Judge Lawrence of Ohio, president of the association, said this evening Before issuing the call for this meeting wrote to Senator Sherman, asking whether we would have hearing if we came here. He replied, Certainly, issue your call, and now that we have come, many of us at great inconvenience and expense, we find the committee doors closed to us.'

Death of Hon. Alvan P. Hyde of Hartford.

The New York senate is in wrangle. The senator, Mccarthy, returned as elect ed from the district for frauds in which Boss McKane is now on trial, has been unseated and his competitor, Wolfert, de- clared elected. The lieutenant governor Sheehan, refused to recognize the new in- cumbent, and a judge had enjoined the clerk from calling his name. The presi- dent pro tempore, however, calls the roll, and the senate adjourns at will in spite of the protest of the lieutenant-governor The injunction is purposely so phrased that it is perpetual, and is regarded as therefore illegal. McCarthy's friends had offered Wolfert 5000 not to make the contest. P. S.-The judge who issued the injunction has himself dissolved it.

Hartford Courant: There are many amusing things about the appearance of John l.. Sullivan on the stage, but the performance is most amusing if viewed in connection with the advance notices which the press agent kindly furnished the papers, but which did not get printed. If they had been printed and the readers had believed them they would have ex- pected to see not only remarkably clever actor, but also one who gave in dress and bearing a correct picture of a wealthy gentleman. With four or five yards of cravat, his cap on one side of his head his bulldog countenance and his ever present self-consciousnes, John L. looked anything but the gentleman as that word is understood in polite society. He was simply an impossibility. Every word, every movement suggests the tough , the 'slugger." He was received at Pro tors Saturday night with enthusiastic yells from the gallery and 8 mild sort of interest or curiosity by the balcony and the pit.

Hartford Times: A handsome deer, weighing 180 pounds, was shot in Fair field county this week by hunters. It is said to have escaped from private grounds. and the persons had no more right to kill it than they would have to shoot horse or a COW found wandering in the woods. The last general assembly passed wise law for the protection of deer, providing penalty of not less than $1O0 for killing them, or even chasing or attempting to kill them. The theory is that they are private property, entitled to the protec- tion of the law, when astray from the grounds of their owners.

Another Newspaper Flop.

The Paris Post has finally hoisted
the Republican banner. It will be

its editor was a candidate for the

conducted a non-partisan journal.

learned that Bro. Wallis had an.

The Tariff And SILVER.

Notwithstanding tho assertions
of the goldbugs that the tariff is the
paramount issue. says the Nevada
State Journal, silver will intrude
itself in the tariff debates in Con-
gress. As eminent q disciple of
Sherman as Senator Lodge of
Massachusetts, proposed in a speech
on the Wilson bill to impose
double duties against Great Britain
until that country should agree to
an international ratio for the coin
age of silver. While it might be
advisable to exclude every article
Of English manufacture from the
United States until that country
comes to its senses on the silver
question, would it not be we'll for
the United States to name the con-
ditions? The goldbugs of the Uni
ted States follow the English FASH
ions in everything from the demon
citation of silver to the cut Of their
trousers. Why does not Senator
Lodge introduce and advocate the
passage of a bill or a resolution
proposing an international none.

the matter by opening the minis to

national ratio Of 30 to l for the
coinage of silver. That would, per.
haps, suit Senator Lodge and other
goldmen, but it is not what the PEG.
pie want. The silver dollar is now
large enough for all practical pur-
poses and the masses of the people
do not complain because it is not
larger, but because of its scarcity.
Any change in the ratio Of silver
would necessitate the recoinage of
every silver dollar in the United
States. The people are not de-
handing this change, and the men
know better than to advocate it,
but they do ask that mora dollars
be issued to prevent the increase of
the industrial army from one mill
lion to ten or more millions.
