HE WILL MAKE EN- SWEAT"

The present condition OF the Morton boom
and the relations thereto Of its beneficiary on
the one hand and It's chief promoter on the
other recall the story Of the maefactor under
sentence Of death and the ovcrsangulne attor
ney who had defended him. The lawyer had
carried the case up through all its stages to the
court Of final resort and been defeated at every
point AS his clients dependency increased at
each reverse, the lawyers confidence and cheer
fulness became more marked. Cheer up old
fellow" he kept saying; you're all right They
cant hang you. I've got dead sure thing on
cit" So it went on till the morning Of the day
fixed for the execution. when the client, natu-
rally enough, appeared to be unusually depressed
ooh, brace up, old fellow said the lawyer,
cts all right. They can't hang you but
they've got the scaffold built and everything
ready. and they're going to hang me In an
"hour" said the victim. WELL" said the law
yer rehectively, "it may be so but they've no
fright to, and I'll tell you one thing; II they
do, III make 'em sweat for it,
Mr. Platt as leading counsel for the Morton
boom which started out several months ago I'M
der sentence Of death, has at every stage OF the
canvass manifested similar confidence under
similar adverse conditions Nothing has worried
or ratified him. He was Just as calm and as
sured when the noble embassy of eminent men
Of both colors returned from the South with
out the ghost of a delegate as If they had
brought back clusters Of them as large and prom
Using as the grapes Of Eschol. Nor has he been
ruffied in the least by returns from various
States. which have gradually, but surely, so
overwhelmed the Morton boom that no intclli-
gent person has now any doubt Of its fate. His
last oracular utternnce was that Mckinley could
not by any possibility be nominated and that
Mortons chances were still good
He WILL no doubt, maintain this attitude to
the last, and Just before the result OF the final
ballot nominating some one else Is declared his
voice will be heard, saying: They can't nom
"inate anybody but Morton. II they do. I'll
make 'em sweat for IT,"

FORCES AEIELD IN CUBA.

There Is q grewsome bit Of news from Cuba.
to the effect that yellow fever has begun its
ravages and bids fair to be this year more than
ordinarily virulent and destructive. 1t was.
however, to be expected The disorder and de-
moralization caused by year Of civil war has
put the island in q condition most favorable
to the propagation Of the plague. Sanitary regu-
lations In Cuba have always been inadequate.
Now they are worse than ever. Moreover. the
scores of thousands Of Spanish troops, now
cooped up in crowded camps and cities, will
prove the readest Of all possible victims to the
fever. They are unacclimated. They are most
" boys and convicts, Of comparatively feeble
physique. They are none too well fed and clad.
Among such the mortality will probably be enor-
nous Gomez and Maceo and Garcia may well
rest and let the pestilence fight for them. The
fever will do the Spanish armies more harm
in the next FIVE months than all the legions Of
the patriots
There Is trace Of stern retribution, too. In
this state Of affairs. 1t will be what men some
times call poetic justice for yellow fever to as
sist largely in driving the Spanish out OF the
island For it was the Spanish who, through
their abominabIe crlelties. introduced that pes

THE WOOL SCHEDULE.

Every week American wool Is being shipped
to Europe at prices below those of Australian
wool produced by convict labor. In order to find
hands to work 1t into cloth for Americans TO buy
while American mills are Idle and their workers
are dependent on the charity Of friends These
are the blessings Of Reform" and Democrats
wonder that Americans do not appreciate them
The wool OF Colorado brings less than II cents
on the average for various qualities against
about 20 cents five years ago, and the wool of
Montana brings less than cents against over
90. and the wool Of Utah and Wyoming 10 cents
against 1914, and the silver Senators, who have
defeated tariff bill by their perfdy wonder
that voters think Ill OF them Utah and Wyo-
ming have lost about 100000 in the price Of
their wool raised this year at latest quotations.
and Montana also about $2,20O,OOO, Texas near
~ S2,00O,0OO Colorado and New Mexico about
$I.SjO.0OO, and the Northern States between the
Hudson and the Mississippi about $4,000 OOO
reckoning only the loss in price on the dimln-
ishcd quantity produced this year. and yet there
are men who think that those who voted to
prolong free trade In wool, unless they could
dictate to everybody else about money, ought
to have seats In a Republican convention
Wool-growers have to face, 1t is probable
lower prices than they have yet seen. This
country Is supposed TO have produced about
2I5,OUO.OOO pounds of wool, and imports of wool
and waste In the twelve months ending with
February were 29O,6l2, 100 pounds But instead
Of o65,OO,O00 pounds, which is much more than
the greatest quantity ever consumed in any
year, the actual consumption was probably not
more than 60 per cent of the maximum, or 3OO.-
100000 pounds as the Manufacturers Associa-
ton reports that not more than half the capacity
Is now employed, and last spring the conditions
were about the same, though there was greater
activity during some months In the fall Nor Is
much higher estimate for the year consistent
with the fact that imports Of goods in the
calendar year 1895 were 70, S64, $50 pounds, be-
sides about 81, AGA 054 worth Of which the weight
Is not known. which by the usual method of
reckoning would be equivalent to 325.315,530
pounds Of raw wool, against an average Of
1703Ol .S7G yearly for the two years 1891 and
1892 under the Mckinley tariff, when domestic
consumption was at its maximum
This increase Of the equivalent Of 100. OO0, 900
pounds Of wool imported in the form of goods
must take the place Of a like proportion Of do
nestle goods. In the most prosperous year the
manufacture never used more than 800, 900. 900

off n per cent of the maximum demand,

has cut of 81 per cent or the maXluuin uein"""'
while the total demand for all wooiehs, uo-
nestle and foreign, has unquestlonaDiy oeen
much smaller than in the most prosperous years.
Hence IL cannot be supposed that the domes''c
manufacture has actually consumed much over
300. OOO.O 900 pounds, but In that case the 10
nestle wool held by farmers and SPECTATORS
for higher prices, the wool held by manurac'-
urers. and the foreign wool held by dealers, must
aggregate nearly as much as this years entire
Weld. No doubt quantities Of domestic and for
e,pn wool will be exported il the American de-
mand for foreign goods continues to keep Eu-
ropean mills active But even In that case 'le
effort TO dispose of nearly double the usual year
supply Is likely to depress prices.
What has the country gained? The hands en-
gagged in wOollen manufacture were ABOUT ZZo'
600 in $780, and more in 1892, but imports Oh
goods have taken the place Of about 81 per cent
or 6S.OOO. of them The wool-growers are get
ting an average Of 11.19 cents less per pound
than in May 1891, which means loss to them
on this years diminished yield OF about S2o'
100000 The Government has thrown away the
revenue Of 81, 800 000 which was derived from
dutics on wool imported in 1892, and about
$4,000 600 of the revenue 1t then received from
duties on wcollen manufactured goods import
ed This may seem incredible to some Free
Traders. who reckoned that greatly Increased
imports must at least yield a larger revenue.
The last official statement Of imports for con-
sumption shows that in the first six months OF
1895 the new duties wOOllens valued at
e20752 p53 were only S14,217, 6O4, or 41.15 per
cent At that rate the duties on goods valued
at SGO3193O1 In the calendar year 1895 were
only SOS. 500 466 whereas in the fiscal year 1871
the duties on wOollen goods under the Mckinley
tariff were S34, S57 453 and in 1892 34,293,6O6.
Thus revenue Of nearly S6.OO0,0O0 has been
thrown away, besides S7.S00,OOO more on wool.
at time when the Government has to borrow
and mortgage It's industry for many years to
come because its revenue Is deficient. We send
abroad $337711j0 for wool imported and $780,
319.3O1 for goods rs invOiced, and, reckoning I'M
LIBERALIZATION on wOOens at - per cent. about
STA 100000 for wool and goods In a single year.
whereas in 1892 the total value Of wool and
woollen goods imported with the undervalua-
tions thcn restricted by specific duties. was not
more than S4S,OOO.OOO. and yet men wonder that
gold goes out and times are hard. II there were
nothing else wrong in the whole Wilson tariff
except this single Schedule X. that alone would
be enough to doom any party responsible for it.

Prompt action has been taken by the Board
of Education in dividing the city into school
districts in consonance with the provision Of
the new law The law requires the number of
districts TO be not less than fifteen, but apart
from this restriction gives the Board full power.
The first proposal before the Board was to make
forty-f districts, but yesterday 1t was deter
mined that the best results would be secured
with a smaller number, and thrty-fve was
agreed on Mayor Strong will thus have the
appointment Of 175 school inspectors-five for
each district-who will act as visitors TO the
schools and report thereon to the Board OF Edu-
cation from time to time.

The tributes paid by the Senate to Lieutenant
Governor S3xton just before the adjournment
yesterday were deserved, and they were not
exhausted by mere words, but assumed also
more substantial character Mr.. Saxton has
been nearly ten years in public life, serving as
Assemblyman and Senator before being chosen
to his present office. He has presided over the
Senate for two years, and his term as Lieuten-
ant-Governor expires at the end Of this year
Throughout his career he has pursued an honest
and honorable course. and there has not been
so much as a whisper affecting his integrity as
n man and ar official. On some occasions he
has not shown absolute independence Of Boss
dctation but in general he has been on the
right side Of public questions. During the SEES
sion just closed ne won conspicuous credit by
the manly stand which he took on the Greater
New-York matter. Such a man is too valuable
to be lost to public life, and 1t will be strange
If the people of the State allow Mr.. Saxton to
be turned down because he Is not an abject fol-
lower Of Mr.. Plat.

Another notable victory for the Mckinley
forces was won In Illinois yesterday, where an
earnest attempt was made to instruct the dele
gates to the St Louis Convention to support
the States "favorite son." Senator Culom. The
Mckinley sentiment, however. was entirely too
strong, and after the two parties in the conven-
ton had ranged themselves the declaration in
favor of the champion of Protection was made
unanimous amid a scene OF enthusiasm rarely
surpassed in political gathering. The action
Of the convention In Illinois. following that in
Vermont on the previous day, cannot fail to
add momentum to the strong movement in favor
of the nomination Of Governor Mckinley.

this year than last, the Legislature Of 1896
did not make record for economy. In fact IL
it were not for the large estimated receipts from
the taxes collected under the Raines law, the
tax rate would have been increased. The
amount which is expected to come into the State
treasury from the saloonkeepers Is S3OOOOOO,
which Is probably considerably too large; but
Controller Roberts has accepted this figure in
making up his estimate. There are few signs as
yet that the Raines law is an acceptable enact
ment. hut it is probable that the people will be
more reconciled to 1t if 1t brings in large returns
and lghtens their financial burden.
