GOAL DIRT IN THE RIVER.

During the past two years the
counties bordering on the Susque-
hanna river have been stirred with
popular indignation over the pollution
of the great stream by coal dirt and
csilm from the coal mines Mass
sneetings have been held and resolu-
tions adopted with view to securing
prohibitive legislation at this session,
but thee months have passed and
nothing has been done. When the
bill prohibiting any person or persons
from polluting the streams which are
stocked with game fish by the State
fish missioners, with saw dust or
shavings, came up in the State Legis-
Eature Friday there was plenty of cross
firing. But when Mr.. Kunkel, OF
Harrisburg, offered an amendment to
include coal dirt and culm in the pro-
hibition, chill affected the bill and
down it went Mr.. Kunkel made an
earnest appeal for his amendment,
but it was voted down. Protection OF
some kind is needed very badly. The
Susquehanna at this point is affected
to such an extent that the bottom o.
the river is completely covered with
coal dirt. Something should be done
to remedy this evil and prevent ou
beautiful stream from being turned
into a common sewer to carry off the
water and other refuse from tE'
mines -Snbwy Hen

movement is on foot to organize
Shamokin county out of portions OF
Northumberland, Schuylkill and Col

seat. Jack is the man who started
the Halle county scheme several
years ago. The scheme would not
work with the Legislature then In
session, bus Jack kept up the fight
and sprung it on this Legislature with
the name changed from Halle to
Quay.

means by the revival Of the old Sha

Sham okin county movement was yer,

the publication abroad of the fiction

Low PRICE OF WOOL.

The question is being asked in many
quarters. says the Boston Herald, "Why
does not wool improve, along with other
staples?' The Herald answers this by
saying that "wool has not yet reached
the condition of greatly shortened sup
ply and Increased demand that has been
experienced in other staples. That
point is going to be reached sometime,
bat it is not yet in sight. The supply of
wool all over the world is a large one,
and since the market is now entirely
under the influence of the other markets
of the world, an advance in wool-strong
and permanent-will only come when
the supply Of wool has been sufficiently
reduced all over the world"
This is the correct explanation, but it
does not accord with the theories and
predictions advanced by the Herald and
other free trade journals when they were
contending for free wool. The wool
grower was told then, with great per-
sistence, until he came almost to believe
it, that free trade in wool would bring in
the foreign grades, but as these grades
were needed to mix with the American
clip, the effect would be to create an
additional demand for American wool,
and this, in turn, would put up the
prices of wool.
This theory was rather attractive in
prospect, bat in retrospect it is altogether
different. The American wool grower
has learned by experience that free wool
makes the American manufacturers in
dependent of the home market. The
manufacturer, desiring to initiate closely
the European fabrics, rather prefers to
buy altogether of the foreign woods.
This leaves the American wool grower in
= position where he is forced to accept
the London prices, less the cost Of trans
porting his wool to London. If the tariff
we're put back on wool, the prices would
come back.-Spokane Spokesman Re-
