THE D1NGLEY WOOL SCHEDULE.

The decision of the house committee
on ways and means 10 restore the Nc
Kinley duty on wool bids fair TO re-
store prosperity to the sheep-raisiDg
industry, even II some Of the wool grow
ers are dissatisfied with that arrange
ment.
The Mckinley law gave a remarka-
BILE stimulus to wool growing. The
number of sheep In the United States
increased from about forty-two millions
in 1889 TO more than forty-seven mill
ions in 1893, and the average price Of
sheep rose from S2.13 in the former
year TO $266 in the latter. The clip Of
American wool rose from 90, 900, 900
pounds in 1899 TO sos, Isl .055 pounds in
1893, and the value OF the clip advanced
from SOC, 500 TO $125, 800, 264 in the
same time Not only that, but the Nc
Kinley law excluded shoddy from the
American market almost entirely. The
imports in 1889 amounted 10 S,4IS,9S4
pounds and were valued at S3,339, 4SO.
BY 1894, under the Mckinley law, the
imports Of shoddy had fallen to 104, $50
pounds, valued at only S36,S11.
These are a few Of the things which
the Mckinley law did for the sheep
raising industry. The terrible effects Of
the Democratic tariff law upon the in
dustry are too well known to need repe-
tition here. It is sufficient to say that
the proposed restoration of the wool
schedule of the Mckinley law will
bring prosperity to a large number of
American citizens who have been driy-
en- perilously close TO bankruptcy by the
infamous Wilson law. Every wool
grower in the United States ought to be
with the action of the commit
tee on ways and means.

"EEN KWAJE VROUW."

dialect When he arrived at that point
in his address where il was necessary

Of Queen Victoria as Zen Kwaje

BILLY BRYAN DONE BROWN.

The bright Mr.. Bryan is done for as a
possible future Moses of Democracy
Mr.. Bryan's claims to leadership all
vanished with his defeat. Had he been
a man Of note, with a record behind
him, previous to his nomination, his de-
feat might not have meant political OBJ
Iteration But being an accidental
nobody when his star went down in
November it went down 10 rise no more
He was left without the necessary pres
tige for a future factor Had he won
he might have been a candidate again.
and again, as was Mr.. Cleveland, who
will doubtless be a candidate again, if
be lives But Bryan and his admirers
are wasting valuable time and costly
ammunition in every effort put forth
to keep their fallen idol to the front.
Mr. Bryan's failure was the failure of a
man who had shown no previous or
sustaining greatness, and therefore will
prove complete. As a Democratic can
6idate for president, he is no longer a
possibility Arkansas, the most be-
nighted and overwhelming realm of
Democracy clearly indicated that much
when its legislature refused to substi-
tute the picture of Bryan for that of
that other great Democratic leader,
Jefferson Davis.

THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE.

Gladstone's declaration that two Of
the great powers of Europe are in the
hands, respectively, of two inexperi-
enced ninnies, if startling, is neverthe-
less a truth of universal recognition.
The concert of Europe is but stand
in for plumber. Itsdoes not mean peace
any farther than some are afraid and
the others dare not. The concert OF
Europe is a selfish. unprincipled ALI
ance in favor of the Turk and his hea-
therdom as against Christianity and
freedom. Little Greece in standing for
the right has forced the powers to snow
their real colorS, and the world Of hui
manity stands shocked. The cause Of
Crete is the cause of Cuba. But for
the greed. envy and truculency of the
greater nations, both would be free.
The Turk has Just as great moral
light TO govern and Cypress Christian
Crete as has effete Spain to rule aud
ruin the American island Of Cuba. The
United States of America are as repre-
hensible in permitting the rapine and
murder in Cuba as are the western
powers of Europe in blockading the
ports of Crete in the interest of the in
regrity of Turkey.

NEW IDEAS IN FARMING

The man whom President Mckinley
chose for the head Of the agricultural IN
terests Of the country has ideas. and not
only Ideas but experience. Secretary
Wilson Is hot only a successful agricul-
furist but intensely practical. When be
came to the seed question he informed
expectant members of congress that his
was not going TO he a policy of bit or
miss free seed distribution: that while
they would get their seeds as usual the
seeds would he of his own choosing
and in accordance with the demands of
the times. involving practically new
system. Mr.. Wilson is after results
and not votes. According % Mr.. VII

sons observations. the people of the

sons observations. the people of the
world are now demanding heterogeneous
foods, and are not requiring such guam
titles of the food obtained from the fat
producing grains, which have sent
American lard all over the world, but
for which the demand has Of late some
what fallen off. Accordingly, legumin-
GUS plants, which are deep-rooted and
rich in nitrogen; Japanese beans, field
peas and pod-bearing plants generally
will be largely distributed among the
farmers this year in place Of seeds
which they have hitherto received.
Experiments at the Iowa agricultural
stations have shown Mr. Wilson that by
a combination of these deep-rooted
plants ii is possible to furnish success
sion of crops which shall give from the
opening of the season until snow falls
a constant supply of heterogeneous food
for animals, which adds very greatly TO
their value for food. Mr.. Wilson Is also
of opinion that corn. which in his own
state brings not over 10 TO 10 cents a
bushel, is worth several times that
amount if properly fed; and he is al
ready planning experiments with refer
ence TO the utilization Of corn and other
farm products for feeding sheep.
For the benefit of farmers who may
be inclined 20 smile derisively at the
idea of a cabinet officer attempting to
teach them their business, 1t should be
explained that Mr. Wilson Is himself
practical farmer. as we'll as an earnest
deyotee of agricultural science; and he
is not a theorist, except in so far as his
theories would seem to follow logically
from the data which he has CLEANED
from actual experiment and research.
For these reasons his ideas deserve
general application, TO the end that the
results may form basis for intelligent
action hereafter. Fundamentally the
priciple Of seed distribution by the fed
eral government is all wrong; but since
all parties are agreed that the abuse is
too Fascinating to be done away with
it Is desirable that the country shall get
as much real good out of it as possible.
And if Secretary Wilson can measure
bly, achieve either of the purposes which
he has in view. he will go far toward
the people, even against
their better Judgment that paternaiism
in the matter Of seeds is in their inter

Oh. THAT z RAY

The world having gone wild over
Roentgen and his wonderful electrical
ray for a season, suddenly grew tired of
looking al pictures of keys in old pocket
books, of bones in the hand and impos-
sible bullets imbedded promiscuously
In the bodies of imaginary victims. But
the y ray is proving to be another step,
and an important one, in electrical sci
ence- Electricity ran only the telegraph
system for a while. but now it is not
only running street cars and machinery
of all descriptions, but promises soon to
be the principal power-agency of the
world. Professor John Trowbridge OF
Harvard has not only been able 10 fig-
ure out the amount OF energy required
10 produce y rays, but he has found
means 10 express the result in the terms
or horse power. This is a double tri-
umph. in which the former feat is real
y eclpsed by the latter. He has also
invented an electrical accumulation.
which may prove Of great service TO sci.
ence. II is further reported that he has
discovered a vacuum, under certain
conditions whatever that may mean
10 be good conductor Of electricity.
Bis computation OF the power of the Y
rays shows that the new light repre
sents q much higher voltage than had
been suspected. The amount of energy
required is said TO be 100000 horse
power. acting in one ten-miIlionrh Of a

Roentgen ray as a bombardment Of par
ticles. and that they burn the skin and

Rum In tho Roman Punch.


Councilman Isaac NJ. Story created SEN
sation in the Somerville City council last
night by introducing ar order TO the ef-
feet that when refreshments were ordered
by the city council. instruction should be
given 10 the caterer that they should be
free from intoxicating liquors. The other
members were at loss 10 understand what
was meant BY this order until Councilman
Story explained that at luncheon which
was served 10 the council about three
weeks ago there was Roman punch, ana
that the Roman punch had rum in II. Even
then most OF the councimen thought that
Mr.. Story was trying TO perpetrate a joke.
but the latter grimly insisted that this was
no merry Jest; the Roman punch had rum
III 1t no one could gainsay that; and u was
NOT right for the members OF the city gov
eminent to be filing themselves UP with
intoxicating liquors. when the law OF the
city expressly provided that it should not
be sold there II was in vain that Il was
