Admiral Dewey's Politics.
Leslie's Weekly.

$3.50 . 10hAs
Admiral Dewey's politics would hardly
seem TO be open to question, by reason of
the fact that he comes from a Republican
family and from Vermont, the strongest
Republican State in the Union. He has been
exceedingly cautious, since he recently be-
ters. Edison c. Brace, of St. Louis, who
was chief clerk of the naval bureau of
equipment while Admiral tthen Commo-
dore) Dewey was its chief, told In the
admiral had always been a Republican, and
that once, after reading a speech of David
Il. Hill, Dewey declared, in defining a Dem
ocrat, that in time of war a Democrat
was a d traitor. in time Of peace he is
q d. fool"
That was seven or eight years ago. The
most recent declaration OF the admiral, and
the clearest and most comprehensive, was
given in an interview had with him in Ma
Mia on the 18th Of February last, by Ed
Leslie's Weekly. With this gentleman the
admiral discussed the possibility of the
presidency with unusual freedom. When
asked. If he was a Republican or a Demo
1 came from Vermont. and you know what
that means. To be anything but a Repub-
Iican in Vermont is to be a man without a
party. Our nag lieutenant comes from
Georgia. He tells me that to be anything
but a Democrat in the South is to be a
nobody. IL / lived South. i would probably
be a Democrat" The admiral added that
he had not voted In many years, and that
his vote was usually influenced by per-
sonal preference or local conditions" and
as to the presidency. he said: Don't you
think IL would be presumptuous TO accept a
nomination before IL is offered? Perhaps IL
would be equally previous TO reject IT,"
The general drift of the admirars remarks
was complimentary to the existing admins
tration, and against the suggestion that he
should be a candidate.

A BOOM IN WOOL.
Fashion and Sent Up the
Prices SO Per Cent.
London Daily Mall.

AolOOh boAAy mail
The price OF wool has been steadily rising
during the last few months, and yesterday
there was another rise of from 10 to Is per
cent, making a total increase OF 80 per cent.
since January.
There has never been such a continued
upward tendency in prices, and il mainly
arises from two causes = drought In Aus
tralia and a fashion for garments made of
the finest woods
For four successive years there has been
a drought In Australia, and stocks have con-
siderably depleted during that time. On
the top of the drought came "A demand for
fine woods. and owing to the scarcity in the
supply prices went up rapidly. In May
there was an advance OF % per cent. IN
prices for colonial woods. English woods
have also been similarly affected, particu-
larry in regard 10 the finer sorts, such as
Southdowns.
On the Wool Exchange. i'm Basinghan
street, yesterday, there was a big attend
ance CT merchants, and competition was
very keen. but the further advance, being
anticipated, created not the least excite>
ment. A representative of the Daily Mail
made inquiries among wool merchants as to
the likely effect OF the increase on the tall
oring trade and the public generally. The
ready-madc tailor will not suffer in the
least. say the merchants. but his customers
will.
"You See" explained one w~ell-known
merchant. when wool Is cheap the ready
made tailor puts less shoddy ana more
wool into his customers clothes. and when
wool is dear there is more shoddy and less
always remain the same. That means, OF
course. that with Increased prices the people
who buy ready-maae suits are given an In
end tailor loses. Ii would not do for him

he increase his prices. He must continue
the old prices. or his trade would disap-
pear.

real sufferers"

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 1.-Among the
crew Of the steam whaler Mary ID. Hume.

goldseekers who went into the Arctic re-

they reached after much privation. Their
names are: B. V. Lares, st. Paul; J. Mar

experience of the lot. At Mcpherson he
refused TO follow his friends farther i'm the
search for gold, and. meeting s. L. Ander-
son and Paul Schneider. of Britain, s. D.,
the three decided to return home up the
Mackenzie. They got scarcely more than
100 miles on the journey when winter set
in. and the three were compelled to pre-
pare shelter for the long stormy season.
Anderson and Schneider were attacked with
scurvy. Both became very III and almost
helpless. Fifty miles away was a physician

succor from the whalers. Amory those

PIGG, HOGG AND BACON.

Kansas City Journal.

To the casual observer yesterday, the
register of the Savoy Hotel looked more
like an inventory book of a packing house
than a hotel register. Early yesterday
morning a strange entered the hotel and
signed:
y. r. Pigg. Windsor, Mo-"
A few minutes later two men stepped I'D
to the desk and signed just below Mr..
Pigg's signature:
Bacon, Chicago"
The three gentlemen who attached such
strange names In ~juxtaposition were not
acquainted with each other. but when the
hotel clerk saw the strange signatures. the
three gentlemen whose names attracted so
much attention were eagerly sought by the
curious, and IL was but a short time before
Messrs. Pigg, Hogg and Bacon were good
friends.

Let's Have An Opera House.

Some time ago the CHIEF advocated
the erection of an opera house for tho
purpose OF a place OF amusement and
for the holding Of public meetings,
dances or anything else OF that nature.
At the time the article was printed
several favorable comments were made
to us regarding the idea and since that
time some talk has been had by parties
In regard to the project. No n will
think for "a minute that we can ever
expect to have an opera house built by
a single Individual. A concentration
of money by a number Of citizens to TO
used for this purpose will solve the
problem. In talking with one Of a
business men, who Is one Of the leaders
when II comes to helping out any pro-
ject which would benefit the town, he
stated that he would be n OF ten to
put In $500 for such q building. This
would probably be too much for most
Of our business men to give but twenty
persons could arrive at the same re.
suit by putting in $3.50 apiece. Or IL
might be made up In shares OF $40
and let them take stock to suit their
finances. There is not n OF the large
firms OF our city but whom could put
ia $3.50 and not miss IL. We do not be-
lieve at the present time an opera
house would pay q dividend to the In
vestors but 1t would pay ten per cent
interest on the investment. Kansas
City and other cities have put up large
convention halls by the concentration
of money which would never have been
built by single individuals and Red
Cloud could do the same on a lesser
scale. The reasons why we should
have an opera house are many. Any
man who Is bringing up children owes
il to them To provide q suitable place
where they may 60 occasionally to seek
amusement instead Of going to places
of questionable resort. Those in our
city who are unsteady inclined should
be allowed to have their taste gratifed.
The one big event which transpires
once a year is the graduating exercises.
Where will these exercises be held next
year, The citizens owe our gradual
ing classes o place to hold their COM
mencement. In . business way an
opera house means dollars In the
pockets OF our business men. Provide
entertainment for the people and the
people will come and they will spend
their money while here. We under.
stand that there Is now a move on foot
to carry out the project. Don't let the
interest die out. Stand up for Red
Cloud. Build an opera house.
