LAID ON THE DOGS.
A Characteristic Democratic ExplanatioE
of Industrial Retrogression.


The agricultural department at Wash
sngton, in its report on the wool-grow-
ing industry, attri butes 1.-THE check on
the progress Of this valuable industry"
largely to 'the ravages of dogs" To
show how voracious the dogs have been
1t is stated that the number of sheep
declined from 47,273,553 January /,
1898, to 45, ,04S, OF January /, 1894. The
loss is 1925, $50. The dogs have not
only destroyed the natural increase,
but have raided upon the old flocxs to
the time of more than two and quar-
ter millions. They were not so hungry
in 1898. In that year from January |
to December 81 the number of sheep
grew from 1l6, 121. 300 to 125, 900. 264, an
increase of 9,7S7,974 This increase
would probably have happened again
If the dogs had not been drawn into
the great famine circle Even the dogs
of the country show evidence that
they are suffering for lack Of employ
ment.
But this is not the most remarkable
part of the showing. The dogs have
entered the financial arena, and sue
ceeded in greatly reducing the price Of
their beloved mutton. One year ago
last January the average value per head
of all the sheep of the country was
S. 68; last New Years 1t was down to
s1.98. In the same time the value of all
the fccks Of the United States fell from
1925, 9o9, ,264 to $50, 1s6, 1lo, loss to the
farmers of $50, 723, 1874 This seems
like an anomalous result, for
a decrease of supply is usually ac-
companied by an increase Of demand
and a consequent enhancement OF
value. Here is complete reversal Of
this great economic law. But the re-
versal does not stop with sheep 1t
may be seen also in the arena of human
labor. For instance, wages are much
lower than they were, and yet the de-
mand for labor has fallen off so great
ly that onethird Of the working people
Of the country cannot get anything to
do at any price. And Notwithstanding
the great lowering of the price of sheep
by these dogs of such profound finan-
cial wisdom, they can get precious lit
| tie mutton to eat.
| The conclusion is irresistible that the
dogs have entered politics and joined
the great free trade party. They found
confronting them "a condition" not
theory" and so they took hold of the
| question In q practical way. Like the
college professor whose salary goes on
whether the cost of living is cheap or
dear, and who looks upon the lowering
Of the price Of an English-made pair Of
pantaloons quarter or half dollar
| by the removal of the tariff as the solu-
ton Of the highest economical princi-
pie of which he has any conception, the
average dog cares nothing about wages
If he can only effect a cheapening OF
his mutton. And, to paraphrase ia.
nous saying Of ex- President Harrison,
ne has found that cheap coat of wool
conceals cheap sheep under the wool.

second Escape OF the Famous Train Rob-
ber and DesperadO, o. Summers,
From the Mississippi Penitentiary.

"
From the Mississippi Penitentiary.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, April "a dispatch
to the Commercial from Jackson,
Miss, says: c. 0. Summers, the fa-
nous train robber and desperate, again
made his escape from the penitentiary
yesterday. This is the second escape
within the last few months The one
skillfully executed as the other. In
his escape few months ago he fooled
the guard by telling him the sergeant
wanted to see him and he had in
structed him to act as guard till he re-
turned. The gun was handed him,
and during the brief interval Summers
succeeded in leaving and was not
him in California.
Yesterday Summers carried the
guard off with him. Everything
points to the fact of perfect under
standing between the two. Several
days since, the guard purchased three
suits of clothes, two of which the
couple left in to-day, leaving their
convict's clothes in the guards tower.
The escape was made soon after 9
o'clock yesterday morning. Summers
answered to the e o'clock roll call.
Shortly after this prisoner saw Sum
mers and Guard George Punches enter
the tower, and few minutes later
swing themselves off from the wall
with a new rope. He gave the alarm,
but before pursuit could be started,
the fugitives had disappeared.
