Wool.

The Philadelphia Record says: The
conflict between the wool dealers who
assume to stand for the wool growers
and the representatives. of out-of- date
wooen mills, who assume to speak for
wool manufacturers as to the rates of
duty to be imposed upon wool and
woolens has practically simmered
down to a compromise which satisfies
neither party. The old Mckinley
mixed ad valorem and specific rates
are to be tried again, with but slight
variations. The people who have been
enjoying the Heretofore unknown ad-
vantages and delights of cheap blan-
kets, cheap warm clothing and cheap
carpets since wool was put on the free
list will be turned over once more to
the tender mercies which they may
expect in the protective inclosure. The
government will get, perhaps, eight
million dollars from its wool duties.
The consumers of the United States
will pay ten times that much in the
enhanced cost of wooden goods. Eight
million dollars could be cut out of the
expenditures of almost any of the de-
partments without injury to the ser
vice. There is twice eight millions
dollars paid for fraudulent pensions,
and no party has the courage to put
"A stop to il. But under the pretense
of wanting revenue to meet inordinate
expenditures, the government in order
To get one dollar for itself proposes to
fleece the consumer ten. And this is
to be done with upturned eyes in the
name of protection and philanthropy
in hehalfof labor!
What boon it is to labor to put up
the price Of coats and petticOats!
What blessing it is to the people of
the United Ststes to cut them off from
the supply of cheap wool which floods
the markets of the world in order to
make protective holiday for specula-
tors, who trade upon aud make mock
Of the necessities of their fellows!

The Great Fight.

Now that the great prize fight is
over and the victor has been announced
to highly wrought up public, let us
hope that all will abide by the result
without "more ado about nothing"
For months, yes, for years, the papers
have teemed with articles and inter-
views about and with the two men
who faced each other in Carson City
ON Wednesday and cruelty pummelled
and bruised one another to the intense
delight of thousands of eager spectators.
Hardly more excitement was caused
by the last election than has been man
ifested over the result of this fight.
Fitzsimmons, by brute force and bull
dog determination, knocked out Cor
bett in the fourteenth round and there
by gains the title of "Champion of the
world" Many would rather standin
his shoes than be president of this
country, and, no doubt, the emolu-
ments and remuneTations are in per-
verted sense greater, but the lowest
type of honorable citizenship is nobler
and higher calling than that of a pro-
fessional bruiser in prize ring. There
are other more important things for the
consideration of our country than such
intense interest in prize fight A
brief account of the fight is given in
another column.

Is the New Senate Republican,

Says the New York Journal: 1t does
not make any difference 10 the tariff
program of the Republicans whether
the Senators appointed ad interim by
the Governors of Kentucky, Oregon
and Florida are seated or debarreu.
Without the two Republicans from
Kentucky and Oregon the high tariff
men number forty-six, which is a ma
jority of five-small, but effective un-
der the party lash. This is doubtless
the reason why the Senators have de-
cided with lofty morality that the ap-
pOintees, whose titles are, somewhat
cloudy, shall not be admitted to the
Chamber.
But if the Senate is safely RepubIi-
can now on the only question the Re-
pubicans will allow to come before it,
there is an excellent prospect that it
will not be Republican when it meets
in regular session next Fall and the
money question forces its way in. On
that issue the Senate now stands forty
five to forty-two, giving the gold men
one less than a majority of the full
body. There are forIy-one Republi-
cans, twenty-nine Democrats, eight
Populists, five Silver Republicans and
four gold Democrats. 1t is practically
certain that Oregon and Florida will
elect Democratic Senators, and strong
probability that Kentucky will do like
wise If the Democrats get all three
seats the Senate will be tied on the fl
nancial question, and even if they
should get only two of them, they will
be able to stand sol wall, obstruct-
ing any legislation iIitmical to bitmet-
allism.
In any event the Republicans will
have to sail very close to the wind.
The party will not go majestically for
ward on an even keel. as it expected
during its brief dream that there was a
Republican landslide last November.

WORK OF CONGRESS.
What Our Legislators Have Been
Doing the Past Week.

The Fifty-fifth Congress met Mon
day in extra session. Mr.. Reed was re-
elected Speaker and made brief
speech on assuming the gavel. The
usual attack was made on the rules of
the House, but without avail. A mes
sage was received from the President,
and the Ways and Means Committee
reported the new tariff bill. The House
then adjourned until Thursday.
The Senate began its work in extra
session with eighty-seven Senators pres
ent The whole business of the day
was confined to the reading of the
Presidents message, the seating of the
new Senator from Kansas, Mr.. Harris,
and the reference of the credentials of
Mr.. Corbett as Senator from Oregon to
the committee on privileges and elec-
tious.
In the Senate Tuesday 43S bills and
eight joint resolutions were introduced.
They were referred to the several COM
mittees, with one exception, the bill
pensioning the widow of Brigadier-
General Stevenson at $50 per month,
being the first bill passed at the extra
session. Several hours were spent ear
ly in the day on the question of ad.
mitting Mr.. Henderson, appointed by
The Governor of Florida to fill the va
cancY from that State. The case was
finally referred to the Committee on
Privileges and Elections. The Senate
adjourned over to Thursday.

holds the honor Of being the BIRTH
place of that glorious national anthem,

is especially fitting that each and every
Post of the Department of Maryland
should have some substantial interest
in the proposed monument to be erect.
ed over his tomb, so that they may feel
they have part in this much delayed,
but much deserved, tribute to the mem.

ReSOlUed, That the Commander of
