One of the most important wool centers
of the state of Idaho this year is Glenn's
Ferry, where in the neighborhood of
half million pounds of the Idaho clip will
be sold within the next few days. Advices
were yesterday received from the north
10 the effect that the members of the
Idaho Wool Growers association, whose
locks were sheared in southern and
southwestern Idaho, have agreed among
themselves that on the 25th day of this
month, or Saturday, they will be at the
place named with their entire clips ready
to receive propositions from the buyers
1t is anticipated that the competition will
be brisk, and already the representatives
OF wool houses, both local and eastern.
are turning their attention northward and
by the date named many of them will be
on the spot prepared to make outright
purchase or receive the woods on con-
signment.
Secretary VIII T. Montgomery, of the
WOOL Growers association, writes to The
Herald that the growers will be at
Glenn's Ferry on Saturday with their
clips, the aggregate weight of which Will
be in the near neighborhood of 100000
pounds. This station is one of the new
est shipping points in the state of Idaho
but the facilities for handling woods are
first class.
Still Hot for Business.
The buyers are still hot after the Utah
woods, which are getting pretty thorough
~ cleaned up in this immediate vicinity.
Tooele has been exhausted and there re-
main but two or three small clips over
the river. w. l.. Pfckard yesterday made
two purchases for Eisemann brothers.
One was the James Winters clip of 10000
pounds, for which - cNItS was paid, and
the other was that of John Rudy, II, 900
pounds. This last named clip brought
practically the same as the other. Deliv
cries of the wool were made yesterday.
made purchases and shipments yesterday,
and the visitors picked up some clips out
in the country. In all cases the prices
paid on outright buys range from IA
cents to 8 cents. Considerable of the wool
now being shipped is going out on con-
VanceS OF from cents to cents are
made. The buyers are paying good prices
for the wool taken by them and as a
general thing they decline to give the
figures in the fear of bulling the market,
which it is to their interests to bear down
ss far as possible.
Stock Nearly Bought.
It will only be a short time now when
the Provo wooden mills company, which
has been a heavy purchaser this spring,
will be out of the market, on account OF
having made sufficient purchases. The
company now holds in stock in the neigh
borhood of half million pounds of good
grade woods and this amount will very
nearly keep both the Provo and the Des-
eret mills in constant operation for the
remainder of the season. The wool pur-
chases of the Provo Wooden Mills COM
pany have all been made at good figures
and in all instances the growers have re-
ceived the highest market prices for their
clips.

Force Congress TO Apply Remedy.

=
Heroic diseases require heroic reme-
dies, and it is becoming daily more
evident that nothing less than situa-
ton verging upon the tragic will com
pei the present shiftless, dilly-dallying
Congress to come down to bed rock
sense and give proper attention to the
financial ailments of, tho country. A
sound suggestion in this direction will
be found in the following from the New
York Evening Post:
1t is evident that Congress will do no.
thing until 1t is compelled to. 1t will not
shake off the nightmare until bankruptcy
is actually impending. So long as any
class of people throw themselves into the
breach and stave Off the crisis, the dis
graceful spectacle at Washington will con-
tinue. For this reason we hope that the
bankers will not listen to any appeals To
what is miscalled patriotism. They are
asked to pay out their gold more freely in
order that the Treasury may save what it
now holds. This is petition which it is
impossible to comply with under circum-
stances OF public distrust. The money in
the banks belongs to their customers.
Who is going TO answer for them when
| they want gold? Ordinarily they want IL
only for foreign trade, but evidently they
have wanted some lately for other pur-
| poses, as is shown by the Withdrawals in
| excess of expectation. But If the banks
| could control their customers in TINS par
ticular. who could control the banks
| That is, who would guarantee that an
| agreement among themselves to pay out
| gold in order that the Treasury might
save its own hoard, would be observed in
due proportions? 1t is obviously impos'
sihle
The sooner the banks and the public
realize that this is business and not beneyo'
ience the sooner Congress will come TO its
| senses. There is no moral obligation on
any bank to pay out gold or 10 refrain
from drawing gold from the Treasury
The country is not engaged in war. There
is none pending. The present condition i;
by far more prosperous and alluring than
that of lS65-66, when the national interest
bearing debt was upwards Of two thou
sand millions and when We had taxes OF
everything we used and everything tina
we did. including five per cent tax OF
incomes above S601. AT the beginning o
the war there was reason why the bank
should take moral considerations int
their reckoning as they did, but after tn
war was ended the Treasury stood solid,
and squarely on its own financial bottom
and nobody thought OF doing otherwise

less reason why it should be considered i
TINS light now. Let the bankers stick t
their trade. Holding up the government
by the tail is no part of their business
The longer they do so the longer CongreS
will stick in the mire.

ments.
The position OF the United States pre-
sents some contradictory features to the
London Times. The government is In
such good credit that it can borrow ut
shade under 3 per cent, although for
two years the national income has not
equalled the national expenditure, and
many Of the railroad and other corpora
tons engaged in business ia the States
are either bankrupt or unrcmunerative.
The difficulties Of the government ore
due, the Tones holds, first, to rrotiigate
squandering OF public money, for no
other terms will fifty describe the pen
sion expenditure Of the government;
secondly, to the situation created for the
United States Treasury by the Sherman
act, which has, SO far, been hardly
alleviated by the repeal Of the act. 10
this must be added the mischieyous
effect Of high protective tarilt on the
business of the country, which Is always
more marked in bad times than IN good.

for the American people than that which
has made the name OF Mckinley famous
is II heavy burden on all but the minority
in whose interest it is maintained.
These causes, in the opinion OF the
Times, have intensified the unwilling
ness of capitalists in Europe to invest
money in the United States, which had
been marked feature OF 1898, for they
have aroused the fear that the great re-
public may be forced to abandon gold as
its standard Of value. It's 10 be hoped
that this view is unduly distrusttul Of
the good sense OF the American people
1t is admitted, it continues, that a
declaration by the Congress and execu-
tive that the standard of the United
States is gold would alter the situation
in this respect, and would probably lead
TO an extensive purchase Of many good
American securities which used to be
held here more largely than now. Inl'

TINE TORB Err CONCERT.
Delightful Music Gathering at the New
Century Club Monday Night.

Lovers OF music We're given rare treat
by the Torbett Concert co. in the New
Century Club building Monday. Miss
Torbeti, although quite young, has the
reputation Of being one of the finest violin
PLAYERS in America She fully sustained
this reputation Monday evening, when she
played the 'Audante and tinale," from
Mendelssohn, and the Polka de Concert"
of Arditi Herr Rudolf Won Scarpas in
depreciation Of LISTS "lhapsodie Hon
groiSe," ard Chopin's "Nocturne" and
'Nalse," were very line.
The famous l.lItlenan Swedish Male
SextGtte delighted the audience with their
fine singing. They sang without accom-
paniment and their voices made most
beautiful harmony. Their rendition OF
annie Laurie" arranged by Dudley
Buck, was charming. The majority OF
the pieces We're calculated to reach the
popular ear. They included Hymn IL
| Nature" by lindblad; Polka" by
| Wahlin; Swedish student Song" by
Bellman, and "A, Il, G." by Zoellncr.
Probably the finest number of the even
| ing was 'Soreuade" By Goundd, a tenol
solo by q. Froholm, with violin obligatc
| by Miss Iorbett.

Mr. nns,ing. preaks Loose AGAIN.

Mr.. Washington Hastings, Poet and
director general of the Republican
party, has broken loose again. He has
directed Mr.. George V. Massey of Dover
to retire from the Senatorial contest, and
the peremptory order through which he
voices his command is printed in another
part Of to.day's paper.
The public will await with breathless
interest the news Of to-days Senatorial
ballot at Dover, to learn whether MIR.
Massey will have the temerity to disre-
gard Mr.. Hastings imperative order
and continue in the contest for Senator.
Very likely Mr.. Massey will pay no at
tention to the mandate and keep in
the fight TO the end. But then Director
general Hastings will have the serene
consciousness Of knowing that he has
performed his duty, and will not, there
fore, be responsible for the consequences
attending disobedienee of his orders.
One point revealed by Mr.. Hastings
peremptory command to Mr.. Massey TO
get out of the fight, is the appalling
responsibility Of his position as the sole
director Of the destiuics of the Repuhli-
can party in Delaware. There was q
triumvirate, it appears, but Mr.. Hast
iugs plaintiyely informs US that as MIR
sperry Is in Europe in impaired health,

+ The public will sympathize with MI
Hastings in his unenviable position. A

Interesting Meeting at the First W. Ps
Church--LoeaI Option and Election
Bribery Discussed.
A meeting Of the Ministerial Union was
held in the First NJ. z. Church at Seventh
and Walnut streets last Monday. Devo-
tional exercises were conducted by Rev.
Mr.. Mclarlin. The report of the commit
tee on local option was then read. Kew.
j. D. c. Hanna reported that the commit
tee had expended S25 in the work.
On motion of the Rev. II. ). Dulaney the
question Of local option was taken up
Remarks were made by the Revs. ]. K.
Dill ami Sanderson. The Rev. Mr.. Quigg
offered the following resolution which
was adopted:
RasOEpsH, That this Ministerial Union most
heartily approves tho measures takan so far
in reference to the local option convention
and hopes that every proper means calculated
10 influence the Legislature will be taken to
secure success.
Herbert Dow, secretary of the Y. NJ. G.
A., then delivered short address. He
urged the members Of the union to in
tiuence all young men to join the associa-
| ton.
An address on the question of bribery
at elections was made hy DIR. Merritt HUI
burG. This was followed by short speeches
| by Rev. L. Snowden Thomas, Dir. Howard,
and Revs. Hanna. Morgan, Terry, White
Sandcrson, Quigg ard Watt.
Each speaker diiated upon the question
| of the liquor traffic and education. They
refuted the claim made by the liquor
dealers that the revenue derived by the
State from their business pays for the
education Of the children.
Mr.. Terry suggested that if the liquor
traffic were stopped, great deal of thu
money which now goes to the support OF
the almshousss, prisons, &c, might b.
saved, aud his money could then be APP
propriatel for educational purposes.
Mr.. White suggested that Il table b.
prepared showing Just how much is paiC
into the treasury by the liquor dealers
and how much might be saved ii tn
traffic was prohibited.

marks at the next meeting which will b.

In Portland, Me-, the platforms of the
electric cars are to be covered in for the
protection Of the motormen, who have
suffered so much from cold in that far
north region. The vestibules are to be
so arranged that they can be removed
when the summer season comes again.
In Philadelphia some of the street cars
are already vestibuled, ard in Ohio the
law requires that such protection shall
be provided. The cars of the Montague
street cable in Brooklyn are likewise
so protected. lii Wilmington the trolley
cars have been constructed in this man
ner ever since the establishment of the
present system. They are not merely tenn
porary provisions for winter service, but
arc permanent attachments, as the glass
| fronts can be lowered in warm weather,
and they serve as protection against
beating storms at all seasons of the year.
Such means Of protection should be re.
qured by law in all communities where
trolley or cable cars are operated, as il
is simply barbarous to compel men tc
face bitter cold and biting blasts from
the front platforms Of swiftly moving
cars, without the slightest protection.

ditions, they retain sufficient vitality t.

only a Form Of bribery.

We sincerely hone that the reports
from Dover to the effect that Mr.. George
v. Massey has recently made large con-
tributions to fund raised for the pur-
pose of paying the taxes Of certain Re-
pubicans in Kent and Sussex counties,
with q view 10 saving their citizenship
BY preventing their return by the collec-
tors as delinquents, are not true.
The payment Of the taxes Of voters
too Indifferent to attend to this matter
for themselves, is only form 81 bribery.
! ILL., Addicks furnished the money for
this purpose in the lower counties two
years ago, and upon this fact largely
bases his impuient claims for the Sena-
torshtp.
Any man who will not exercise the
self-aenial u spare the small sum of
money necessary to pay his tax and
thus qualify himself for the right Of
suffrage, or who will not take the slight
trouble to attend to thisimportant detail
in person, does not deserve to enjoy the
privilege Of voting. 1t should be made
by law the dutyD every man to pay hi
own tax, with his own money, and thC
exact!on should apply alike to every
body, regardless Of condition or politics

Mr.. f. G. Slemmer of Marydel, in a
communication printed elsewhere in to-
days paper, proposes plan for voting
designed to secure the absolute secrecy
of the ballot. Mr.. Slemmer's plan has
the merit of simplicity and economy,
and as far as isolating the voter from
outside influences is concerned, is an
improvement over the present system of
voting booths. The greatest difficulty,
perhaps, would lie in securing voting
places that offered the necessary accom-
modation of two or more connecting
rooms. However. Mr.. Slemmer's plan
is a suggestion in the direction of secur-
ing an absolutely secret ballot, and is
worthy of consideration. Il is acknowl-
edged that secrecy in voting would go n
great ways in preventing corruption at
elections, and any plan that promises to
bring about this most desirable result
should commend itself to our legislators

The Question Answered.

An answer to the natural inquiry
whether personal interest is not the
motive for the frantic efforts of tho New
England Senators and Congressman to
stir up feeling in favor of the annexa-
ton Of Hawaii, is found in Washing.
ton dispatch to tho New York Ersning
Post. 1t tells of letter received by a
Washingtonian from nephew in
Hawaii, and proceeds as follows:
He says that when he first went to
Hawaii he was as strongly opposed to an
neSation as any one else considering the
idea sentimental rather than practical. He
soon found, however, that 1t had very
practical end to 1t. The oligarchy, having
DISTINGUISHED the bulk of the native popu-
lotion, is unable to collect taxes from
them for the support of the government.
The only way, therefore, in which it can
raise any income i'll excess OF the taxes
levied OH the voting classes is by Issuing
bonds. Most of these bonds are taken by
syndicate for floating in the United States,
chiefly in New England, where the religi-
Gus feeling is strong and the notion can be
well worked that the money goes to
keep the standard of Christianity atloat
over heather Hawaii. The prices of the
bonds vary somewhat, but 25 cents on the
dollar would be fair average.
The programme is to create public
sentiment in the United States by an ap-
peal to the purses of the American bond
holders. Ii Hawaii is annexed, the United
States government will, us a matter of
course, guarantee the debt of the govern
ment, which it thus merges in itself. At
| once the bonds hoated at 25 per cent will
spring to par, and every investor in Hawaii
and this country will become rich in a
night
This letter is where one Democratic
| Senator can put his hand upon it at any
moment. 1t may be read on the floor of
the Senate before the present furry is
over.
Here we have the answer, clear and
| explicit. Annexation means money.
1t is the same old thrifty New England
spirit, that built up fortunes out of the
rum and slave trade as long as the bust
ness was profitable, and afterwards
turned in heart and soul for prohibition
and emancipation. The crazy New
England desire for annexation is nc
longer mystery. Over n6hing bu
bonds, says the Egeaing Post in an edi
torial reference to the information from
Washington, can such divine rage b.
stirred up In this country. Bonds,
syndicate to float them, large holding
among the truly pious investors of New
England who want to make only 80
per cent-the whole thing is myster.
no more, and takes its place alongsid
Landreau claims, nitrate beds, "goo
things" in Brazil, and the other histori
eyokcrs of American patriotic frenzy

with some slight amendments, as being
