BEING HOU<iIIT ON TsIE SIIEEp.S
BACK.

The Wool and Cotton Reporter, which
is 4 recognized authority, says that the
very general anticipation that the prices
OF WOOL will be very greatly enhanced
by the imposition Of the duties proposed
in the Dinglcy BILL has resultd in great
activity III the wool market. Specula-
ton Is rife, both In the East and West,
a large portion Of the purchases during
the past week being not by final con-
sumers. but by the trade itself Wool is
being bought on the sleeps back, and
ut prices, it is limited which indicate
that the buyers are looking for a great
advance in the final markets. The de-
mand for foreign wool is enormous at
this time, and 1t is thought that our pur-
chascs at the present London sales may
aggregate as high rs $4,000 bales. or 49,
Geo bales more than the highest record in
the past.
In view Of the advance in the prices
Of wool. as outlined IN the foregoing, the
farmers will do we'll to note the fact and
govern themselves accordingly. Wool is
going to be wool during the present adj
m'nistration and the people will have to
pay for it.

PROTEST. FROM AKEpURLfCAS
SOURCE.

The Textile Manufacturers Journal OF
Philadelphia, a most pronounced pro.
tectiontst organ, finds fault with tho
Dingley bill, and raises this note OF
warming against its passage:
1T is our firm conviction that the
Dlngley bill is an error; that it IS
contrary to the wishes and eXpecta-
dions Of the Republican party, and it
does not exemplify the ideal and
practical principles Of the protective
system; that 1t is lnwise as an
economical measure; that ii sacrifices
the greater interests for the lesser,
and that its ultimate effect will be
disa oter to that lesser interest which
IL seeks to conciliate. In our STRIFE
lures upon and references to the bill
we confine ourselves entirely to the
wool and wooden schedules, dis
claiming any knowledge OF the other
schedules. for I'VE regard the wool
and wooden schedules to be unfor-
ftmately the paramount feature Of
the bill in the eyes Of the country
at large; it was these schedules,
more than any other, that brought
about the repeal Of the Mckinley
law. and If care Is not taken and
wisdom exercised there may be a
similar result following the new
tariff. The party should gain Wis

and earnest adherents. We are
sorry to see this kind Of n measure

not without it's influence in the counscl
OF Its party, but 1t Is very much to b
doubted whether It's warning will be eff

NO MORE DELAY.
Highest Tribunal in the Land Up
With Its Docket.

Washington, Nov. 15.-'rbe proverbal
cutlery against the laws delay will soon
be II thing of the past SO far rs the Uni
ted States supreme court is concerned.
at the close of the present term that tri-
baral will be practically up with his
docket and ready to transact business,
currently, as it comes before it.
1t has. heen maxim among lawyers
that tine appeal of IA case to the supreme
court Of the United States meant that a
cause should lie, as it were, in the lap OF
the law for period of ut least four years.
Many II poor litigant has been forced to
compromise his rig hteous need of justice
because of this arresJing of Il final decis.
ion in his case. These hardships are now
things OF the past
At the BEGINNING of this decade the
crowded condition of the ST preme court
docket was subject of scandal The
story of the remedy may be briefly told in
the following figures
At the close OF the October term of 1890
there remained undisposed of upon the
docket of tho supreme court, 1.190 cases
During the succeeding years this figure
has been reduced. In 1891 there were
1913; in 1S92.ss934; 1898. I'D; 1854, 6l0;
1926, 533. and in 1896, 1888. The numb Der
OF cases dncketed at the October term of
each CT these years averaged 425. The
exact figures for these years are as fol-
lows: $780, 623: 1891, $40; 1892, 275; 1893,
ESQ., 1894, 1872; 1898, 1872: 1896, 2S4.
Since 1890 the supreme court has in,
sisted upon ri III CONSTRUCTION of rule
1G. BY the operation of this, when a
case comes on for final hearing and either
of the parties thereto is not ready and
without some good excuse, the case is
finally dismissed aud the costs of the APP
peal assessed against the party ut fault.
This has had ~ very beneficial influence
in preventing appeals that were never in
tended to do aught but delay the course
of justice. A rigid enforcement of the
rule in appeals from damage cases of adj
ding penalty of ten per cent? all cases
where the'appeal was clearly frivolous has
also tended to bring about the good re-
suit attained
When the supreme court met for the
present October term there were only 1873
cases on it's DOCKET. II set to work in a
business like manner and has now about
disposed of everything before it. at the
end of the term it will be practically up
with business aId ready to hear cases as
fast as they can he prepared for hearing.
