WOOL AND FOREIGN PRICES

Dingley bill defenders are calling at
wooden manufactures. They say it is
due to the present tariff schedule They
forget that tine Dingley bill is a trav-
esty upon true protection, that it was
designed for the purpose of enabling
eastern manufacturers to prey upon the
rest of the country, as the local organ
of Repub1icanism has told them upon
more than one occasion
The annual consumption of wool in
this country is about 100000, 600 pounds
of which amount we produce about
half. There is certainly a home mar
let for ali the wool we grow, but prices
fiuctuate in spite of this and in spite
of the Dingley tariff. Fine woods are
selling for better prices in Europe than
they command in America right now,
and no protectionist will claim that the
Dingley schedule is responsible for
London prices.
The fact Of the matter is that wool
is subject to the same laws that govern
the price of wheat-the laws of supply
and demand. When wool prices are
high in England or in Australia they
are high in the United States and it
doesn't seem to improve matters that
the demand here at home is greater
than the supply. Wool growers of ma
tional reputation. and high officials in
the national wool growers association
say that the Dingley tariff law affords
the industry no protection whatever
that the prices of American wool rise
and fall with the worlds markets.

not the aid of her presence, and the
piece failed. What the fate of Robes
pierre will be in Paris yet remains
to be seen.
NJ. Sardou has had many failures
quite as many as playwrights far less
gifted than he-but he has had not a
few very striking successes. For the
failure of two out of three of his plays
many good reasons could be given; and
it is not hard to see why the third
should be more fortunate. He relies
upon mere cleverness, and he has but
little respect for the intelligence of his
audiences. When they happen to dis
cover this they resent it. and he pays
the penalty of his thickness. When he
has been more happily inspired than
usual, when his ingenuity surpasses it
self when he guesses at just the right
amount of mere cleverness thai the
spectator will enjoy to the full-then
he has his reward. His plays are all
artificial, even the besLof them; they
contain no character that lives indie
pendently in our memories; they throw
no light on any of the problems of life;
at best, they merely amuse. But at best
they are SO clever, SO ingenious, SO
adroitly fabricated, that we have no
time to discover their superfluity, even
if we had the wish.
To some of those who have enjoyed
the performance of one or another of
NJ Sardous plays this criticism may
seem unduly harsh, and I must con-
fess that it is open to this accusation.
In extenuation l can only plead the
belief. based on a long observation of
NJ. Sardou's career as a playwright,
that he deserves to be severely dealt
with because he had it in him TO write
plays far better than those he has cho-
sen to write-plays solder with thought
and supported by true study of hui
mainly. believe that M. Sardou was
intended by nature for real dramatist,
and not for a mere playwright. | be-
lieve that he might, had he chosen,
have been really a rival of Angler,
worthy descendant of Beaumarchais,
genuine disciple of Moliere. He has
preferred instead to be the heir of
Scribe and to take his place in the class
with Kotzebue and with Haywood.

Three years ago the local Republican
organ said that Henry Watterson was
"a traitor to his party" tool in the
hands of Wall street brokers" and a
mortgaged man who could not call his
soul his own. Henry Watterson has
not changed, but hearken to the change
in the organs tune. 1t quotes his words
as those of a party leader. Those are
the words of a shrewd observer of the
course of events it says. 1t says fur

(Concluded.)

Admitting at once that it is as a
playwright and not as dramatist that
NJ Sardou is TO be considered, it must
also be admitted that as a playwright
he has exhibited marvellous skill and he
has met with widespread success. De-
voting himself chiefly to the plotting
of his pieces. and never going below the
surface either in his theme or in his
character drawing. he has produced a
score of plays which after having been
popular in Paris have been easily ex-
portable to all the four corners of the
earth. The comedies of Angler, the
most vigorous of French dramatists
since Beaumarchais, deal with deeper
themes; they grapple more closely with
serious problems and therefore they
cling too firmly to She soil of their ma
tiyity to be easily transported outside

NAMES THAT ARE PIED AGAIN.

The storms which have been sweeping
over Hindostan for several days seem
to have been unusually severe, even
for that locality. 1t is believed that
the fatalities are near 50O while the
destruction of property is almost meal
culable. Between Darjiling and Punk
habari something like 800 people were
drowned, both the upper and lower
Puglojhoras were carried away, the
Phoolbazaar was torn down, Katim-
pong is cut off from communication,
Dingapur, Rangpur and Jalpaiguri
were damaged, Sahebganj and Rajna-
hal suffered considerably, landslides
occurred in the Rungaroon forest, While
only twenty-one bodies have been re-
covered so far, and those at Tamsong-
batee.
Some idea of the destruction may. be
obtained from reading these names.
There are plenty of natives left, no
doubt. the houses may be rebuilt; the
forests viii grow again and traffic Will
eventually resume its wonted activity.
But who is going to set up those towns
again that the storm king pied? When
names like that fan into the "hell box

any other combination of letters that
comes handy.
