WOOL AND THE TARIFF.

Tho public win not have forgotten 90
soon how certain people and papers at
tackled the wilson bill for its wool sched-
ulss. We were told that the sheep industry
WIS being killed and the domestic wool
trade destroyed. The champions of this
particular product we're furious and re-
fused to be comforted until the Dingley bill
caIna along and put duties on foreign wool
and It's manufactures 10 a practically pro-
hlbitlve point.
In yesterdays papers II. G. Dun G. Co.'S
report told us that while some wooden
mills have started operations during the
week quite ss many have stopped" "Ai-
though wool Is about 10 per cent lower than
II was on February /. tho manufacturers

In 1896 and 1903. 900 in 1892 The general
feeling Is that prices of the material must
further decline before the manufacturers
can much Increase their salesl"
Here is a rapidly declining market for
wool, lighter sales than for years past
depression among the mills and the cer-
tasnty OF still further decrease in the
prices OF the raw material. And this condi-
ton OF affairs is experienced n year after
the Dlngley bill had taken wool off tho
free list and put up the schedules along the
line from rs to 200 per cent? Naturally II
tho Wilson bill had ltqped Off the sheep and
run stocks down, with the Dngley bill
coming TO the rescue and ehutting out the
foreign material tho domestic product
ought to be in great demand, sales active
and prices booming. A temporary tendency
dn that direction ut first soon collapsed,
showing il TO have been based on false re-
ports rather than actual conditions pro-
duced by the former tariff.
What are the wool growers and their
friendly organs going to say to the present
situation? WALL they honestly confess that
tho tariff is failure, or wgll they hunt for
some excuse other than tho true one? We
have heard in the past some very fierce
attacks even in Texas upon the democratic
policy as shown in the Wilson Oil. and the
cllim made that republican success would
boom the wool Industry This idea was on.

the exchange was closed. carrying dowr

The wool growers. just as tho cottor
growers. VIII have to look deeper than BIZ
crops or small crops. or low tariffs or higl
tariffs. possibly, for the existing depres
sion. But certain 1t is that the Diugle,
high duties are fraud and failure II
the matter OF stimulating this particula
industry. When wool was on the free lis

1885 demonstrate this conclusion.

LIBEL LAW TALK.

Sablnal Sentinel: The libel reform unoNe-
ment is growing. Nearly every newspaper
in the State has taken up the fight and
such being the case there is small DOUBT
but that the reform Will be eHeclea' ine
South and West Texas Press association
was the inst!gafor OF THIS movement anu
has gained for itself consideraDie pGoinl
renee by It's active advocacy OF LAe leioiHi
Hays County Times (San Marcos) That
this great State Is in dire neei OF an ade-
quate and equitable newspaper libel law
has long been very evident and now that
such publicity has been given to that plea
which Frank II. Bushiek so ably made be-
fore the South West Texas Press associa-
ton, together with the advocacy of almost
every newspaper man, we feel certain that
cur legislators will do what is right, and
cause TO be enacted a libel law that will
protect publisher ana public alike.
Ycakum Times: The editor of the Times
did not attend the recent meeting of the
South and West Texas Press association,
held at San Antonio but he expects to
attend the next meeting OF the association
which is 10 take place in Cuero next April.
BY reaaing the proceedings OF the last con-
vention we note that the editors OF South
and West Texas have at last fully awakened
to the necessity of the enactment Of a Just
and fair libel law in Texas. The paper
read by Editor Frank Bushick of the San
Antonio Express on the subject meets our
hearty approval. We are with the move
and propose to do our part in the matter.

lawmaker from a class of men who desire
to be fair Just and impartial 70 all alike.
AS newspaper man who never expects to
embrace any other calling and whose sense
OF honor would not allow him to knowingly
suppress tAe truth. unless il We're to spread
the mantle of charity DER the faults of an
unfortunate and erring brother, we appeal
to every voter to not cast his vote until
he Is assured that the legislative aspiraAt
is willing that the press be allowed to
publish not alone his acts as a lawmaker,
but all public record evidence.

Democrats For Congress.


Since General Wheeler has gwen his tes-
timony before McKinley's investigating
committee it is more evident than ever that
a congressional inquiry into the charges
against the war department is the only
method Of arriving at an official discovery
and declaration OF the truth.
Demonstration has been given that the
sale whitewashing business and that only
such testimony is acceptable TO 1t as is
friendly TO the administration
Why is it that General Wheeler's re-
marks are given out in full and exploited
w-th the most extrayagant display by adj
minisration papers, while the testimony
submitted by the experts employed by the
New York World is carefully and completes
iy suppressed?
But congressional Investigation will
amount to nothing If the house continues
to have a republican majority. Its mem
bers are bound to the president by the
ties OF mutual guilt in the appointment OF
incompetent staff officers. given places in
the army for political effect, and this being
the case no effort should be spared by the
people 10 change the political complexion
of the house.
In discussing this phase of the question
tho New York Journal truly says:
ITO insure an absolutely fearless. disn-
terested investigation we must have con-
gress whose members have not shared di-
rectly or indirectly in the loot whose dis
tributlon has wrecked the army. That Is
to say, we must have 4 democratic con-
gress Such a body coming fresh from the
people with the breath of public indigna
tion hot upon II, and with no interest in
suppresstng unpleasant truths, will drag
the facts to light and exhibit them as they
are"
There Is demand on the pant Of the
people to know who is responsible for the
death and suffering in the army, and this
demand also contemplates the punishment
lof the guilty men. For this reason a DEM
ocratic congress must be elected. The peo-
pie owe this to the soldiers, and should not
fail to do their duty in the fall elections.

Died.-At Prescott, Washington, OF
pneumonia, Mrs. Maude Swope, wife
of John W. Swope, aged 80 years.
The deceased was born in Des Moines,
Iowa, In company with her husband
they left Shoshone in 1896, for Washing
ton. She was married IS years ago and
leaves a husband and five children to
mourn her death; the eldest twelve and
the youngest two years old. She was rela-
ted to Mr.. and Mrs. J. G. McMurrin, and
Mr.. and Mrs. R. w. Swope of this place.
Like sheaf of wheat ripe for the
sickle has been gathered into the gar
ner of the Lord, another soul has lett be-
hind her husband and children, as
well as relatives and friends.
The funeral was conducted by the
Ladies of the Degree OF Honor, A. 0. u.

true are the words of Herbert Spencer:
Death rides on every passing breeze,
And turks in every flower;
Each Season has its own disease,
Its perils every hour.

OBITUARY.

Died.-At Toponis, Idaho, April Sd, at
3o'clock a. M, Mrs. Grace Gooding,
wife of Thomas II. Gooding.
She was born at Paw Paw, Michigan,
and was SO years and two weeks of age
at the time of her death, and had re-
sided at Toponis for u years.
Mrs. Gooding's health began to fail
her during the winter, from which she
never recovered although the best medi-
cal skill and care was given her by her
loved ones and friends. Brights disease
and paralysis was the cause OF her de-
mise.
She was just in the prime of woman
hood when the angel of death plucked
her from the stem of life, to bloom for
ever, beyond the ethereal blue, where
saints immortal reign. She was chris
tian.
To pause moment when such a life
leaves our world, to mourn over broken
ties. to feel lonely and sad for such a
christian character, Is necessary to the
best and tenderest feelings of our nature.
Let us take up the lesson of finished
life, for we "die as we'll as live for each
other"
Her life was bright with enthusiasm,
for what was noble and good She was
generous, faithful and just; kind to her
associates. an affectionate and true wife,
and a kind and loving mother. She was
loved ard respected by everybody who
knew her. She is gone.
"Her suferings ended with the day,
Yet lived she at its close;
And breathed the long, long nightaway
In statue-lilEe repose.
But when the sun in all his state,
Illume'd the eastern skies,
She passed through glory morning gate,
And walked in paradise"
The gates were lifted up and another
spirit passed through into everlasting
Joy and rest forever. God wills little
longer space of toll and care, perhaps of
sorrow and pain, for us-He knows.
blessed are the dead that die in the
Lord"
"Her tolls are past, her work is done,
And she is fully blessed;
She fought the fight, the victory won,
And entered into rest.
She leaves a husband, four children,
and host of relatives and friends to
mourn her loss. "Thy will be done"
The funeral services were conducted
by the Rev. r. NJ. Hartman, Phi. B., at
the NJ. E., church in this city, Monday
at 2 p, M, from the following text: . |
2:1l-l2.
A large attendance of friends and rela-
tives were present. Her remains were
LAID to rest in the Shoshone cemetery.
