An important Meeting Called in

this Matter of Moment.

PARkHURsT SCORES HILL

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 49,
The wool-growers of the country are
in arms over the refusal of the republi-
can majority in the house Of represen-
tatives to incorporate In the new tariff
bill wool schedule that has been three
times indorsed by the national WOOL
growers association, the farmers
national congress and state oranges
and growers organizations of a dozen
or more states and territories; and to-
dsy, in response TO cali issued by
Judge William lawrence, of Ohio,
president of the national association, a
large number of growers met at the
Ebbitt house to take steps towards
presenting to the senate committee the
request of the sheep raisers for what
they term: "rhe promised most am-
pie protection for wool" The ex-
ecutive committee of the orgs nization
tskes the ground that tho wool
schedule in the new bill simply plays
fast and loose with the industry; that
1t gives ample protection to wool man.
ufacturers and not to wool; that the
sche dule is designed to benefis the east
to the ruin of the west, and that. alto
gether it fails iE almost every paric
to come up to the requirements Of the
growers. A committee vii, bs hp-
pointed to seek hearing before the
senate committee, and great pressure
is being brought to bear upon the
senators from OHIO, Indiana, Utah,
New Mexico, Montana, Colorado and
elsewhere, to replace the schedule as
reported from the house with that
prepared by the wool growers national
association.
WASHINGTON. d. c., April 13.-
The senate may eliminate the retroac-
tive clause from the tariff bill, but the
president is known to fevor the clause
as it now stands.

WITHOUT THE GOSPEL.
Portions Of Slam That Have Not Yet Been
Visited by Missionaries.

NEw YoRK, N. r., April ~ :
The semi-ofileial announcement tina
the king of Siam, who is to visit Eng
land this year in connection with thu
queens jubilee, will extend his tour tc
this country, gives interest to report
received on Saturday. by the American
Bible society, from Rev. John Caring.

society in Siam.
Mr.. Darlington, who Is Presbyter-
ian, and has lived In Siam for many
years, states that during the past year,
himself and his son have explored a
region never heretofore visited by mis-.
sionaries of any country or denomina-
tion. 1t covered nearly seventeen
provinces, in which were some sixteen
towns on the guilt OF Siam Of considera-
BILE Importance. None Of these had
ever before been visited by foreigners,
yet they contained gambling houses,
opium dens, distilleries, floating
houses, barber shops, Buddhist tenn.

mills, markets and stores, and all the
other adjuncts of civilization. The
people were prosperous, and contented.

homes, or wageworke,s and living in

parkhurst scnres fiiIl,s I.sue

NEW YoRK, N. X, April 15.--Dr.
Parkhurst in an interview regarding
ex-senator Hill's statement that "per-
sonal liberty" should be the Issue in
the coming fall campaign, said: "If
/ know anything about David B. Hill,
and the personal liberty he is champion
Of, it is the kind of personal liberty
which appeals to the very lowest and
most lawless sentiment in the COM
munity. The personal liberty issue
which he proposes to raise, for polite
al purposes, will be heartily sup
ported by people in jail, and by peo-
pie who ought to be in Jail. In the
hands Of such a man, the so-called
personal liberty issue can be made very
dangerous to peace and morality"

A PLUcKy EDITOR.
The Government Of President Kruger Outwit-
ted This Time.

LONDON, En- gland, April ia dis
patch from Johannesburg, South Africa,
says that The editors Of the Daily Star,
which was recently suspended by order
of the government for three months for
criticisms of President Kruger which
were regarded as dangerous to law and
order, have issued new paper de-
signated The Comet, and which to all
intents and purposes is duplicate OF
the Star. Should the Comet be sus-
pended third paper will be started
and SO on during the period Of the
Stars suspension. Under the law a
weeks notice Of suspension is required,
and it will therefore only be necessary
to start eleven papers until the Star is
again free from the ban. The attorney
general of The Transvasl, who haS
studied the laws relating to the subject,
reports that there is nothing to prevent
the owners of the plant from following
the programme outlined, and continu-
ing to be a thorn in the side Of the gov
ernment,

NO MORMON FOR CONSUL.

1t appears thst Mr.. q. II. Backman I,
a yell know n citizen OF Salt Lake City,
nas applied to the 5wedish-N orwegian
legation at Washington for an appoint
ment asl vice.consul, and that the
minister, A. Grip, declines to recon-.
mend the appointment on the ground
that the applicant 10 "Mormon."
His exceilency, we understand, has
expressed bimselt as entertaining only
kind feeiings to the people OF
Utah, but on account Of sensa.
tional letters sent to the Scan.
dinavian peninsula by sectar
ian missionaries in Utah, the govern
ment department controlling the ap-
pointment had concluded that 1t
should be given to a non.Mormon.
Mr.. Baokmap, 1t is well known, has
all the necessary qualifications to Ill
that office; he had the endorse IN eut
OF prominent business men In the
city and Of Utah representatives. In
Congress-, hut being Mormon, no
merits awaited.
His exoellency, Minister Grip, has
evidently not been long enough in this
country to learn that a certa In
brand OF religious faith is not
essential for the discharge
of every day duties. The Danish gov
eminent has acted on more liberal
views than he credits to the govern
ment he represents, for the authorities
at Copenhagen have for years been
represented In this city by a gentle-
man who Is member of the Church.
No matter, though. The consulate
here Ia not q remunerative office.
What is In 1t 10 hardly worth men.
tioning, but the principle. referred to IL
to be condemned. Mort OF the Scandi.
navians here belong to the Church.
and II their faith disqualifies
them to transact the little business OF
a consular agent, while tue Lutheran
faith is sine qua non In the matter,
then the right thing for Scandinavia q
to do is to give their consular busintss
to the Danish consul or to q local
Scandinavian lawyer, and leave Mr..
Grips representative here in full en-
joyment OF the honor there 10 In the
name. The business, we are informed +,
can be transacted just as well through
a common lawyer, without stepping
or the toes OF antiquated bigotry.
