JACKSON VS.. CLARK.

c. NJ. Jackson Of Utah appeared at
the hearing Of the Clark case in Wash
ington yesterday. Jackson said Sena-
tor Clark had told him that he Clark
had used money to secure his cleo
ton To emphasize his own purity
and Senator CIark's wickedness. Jack
son embeHished his tale and declared
Senator Clark had tried to influence
him by promise OF reward to vote for
A W. BIcCune for senator.
Nobody who knows Jackson well viii
accuse him Of overlooking any chance
of any sort 70 add to his revenue. Jack
son leaves the inference that he re-
ceived no money; and that fact alone
would convince a salt Lake jury that
none was offered him.
II an the witnesses against Senator
Clark are of the same character as the
one from Utah, the senator from Mon
tana is to be congratulated. The sen
ate committee viii be unanimous in
his favor.

FREE USE or THE FLAG.

Petitions have been sent to congress,
bills have been drafted ana
learned editorials have been written
against "the promiscuous use Of
the national flag" Legislation has
been recommended to prohibit
the use Of the emblem of liberty,
except in the army or on government
or school buildings"
Such a proposition is manifestly alb
surd The American hag cannot be
used too promiscuOusly, save where it
is desecrated by causing it to stand
for un-American policies, or where it
is used by designing politicians as a
cloak under which to perpetrate grave
wrongs, or made to cover corruption
or shield rascals from the condemna-
ton they deserve.
Let the flags be democratic as the
people. No matter who flies them from
his window or ties them to his wagon;
10 matter where they are used by hon.
est people Of any walk in life, of any
trade or anv section: the danger is
when baffled scoundrels fall back upon
patriotism as their last resort, and
wrap the emblem Of justice and liberty
about them.
Let the old flag fly from every win
dow in every home, if the people wish
it: let every child wave miniature

the people in patriotism and in love of

FOREIGN SHORTAGE IN WOOL

Wool-growers are receiving circulars
these days informing them Of the
favorable outlook for the Industry
based upon remarkable conditions pre-
vailing in the wool market throughout.
the world
There has been a gradual advance in
the prices of the finer qualities of
woods, the bulk of which is obtained
from Australia and China, and the
average price of all woods has ad-
vanced considerably in the London
market during the last few months,
che inspiriting effect Of which has
been felt, as a matter Of course. in our
American markets Wool-gTowers have
come to understand at last that when
the price Of wool is good in Europe it
is good in this country, and when it is
low there it falls here. It is a question
Of supply and demand, not governed by
our own factories alone, but by those
of all the world.
FamineS thoughts. epidemics among
sheep. financial panics and var
ious causes in various coun-
tries combine to regulate the demand
for wool and consequently the prices
and profits Of wooI-grcwers. The short
age in production in Australia last
year was 14S,0OOO00 pounds, due princi-
paHy TO thoughts, This year there viii
be a further shortage of 100, 00O. 600
pounds. In South America last year
there was a shortage of 107. 900, 900
pounds.
The best clip for several years in
this country was six years ago. Last
year 1t was 272. 00O, 900 pounds, or 50, OOO,-
OoO pounds less than in 1884. and the
best estimates made for the coming
spring show a probable increase of only
100000 pounds, all that we viii con-
tribute to make up the total world
shortage Of $50 00O,0 00 pounds.
The uses Of shoddy are decreasing
The American consumer is getting his
eyes opened to that fraud which was
practiced upon him for so many years.
This fact. in connection with the falling
off in the supply Of raw wool, and
especially the finer woods which have
to be mixed with our American woods
in the manufactures, gives US an in
creased demand for wooden goods ana
advanced prices for wool at the same
time.
Tt only remains for some disciple Of
Hanna to claim that this condition was
brought about in the markets Of the
world by the Dingley bill.

The Moving Mountain.

@4l 4AAtNAAAs @aAVAA~e+AAA-
Have you ever heard the story told.
OF that mystic mountain ali filed with
gold,
Which. when approached. moves quickly
away.
Like ghosts that troop home at the
break of day2
Somewhere in tbs Wasatch it rears its
crest
But north OF south or east or west
Just where. no miner can ever say,
Though they've searched for its treasure
many a day.
The mountain is rough and high and
wide.
And canyons surround It on every side.
There are torrents that dash in silv'ry
sheen
And dark pine forests lie all between.
There are chasms, so narrow and dark,
and deep;
Where even at noontide. the shadows
creep.
And verdant wales, when the young fawns
play;
And the clouds hang over its head Away.
Deep hidden away in this mountain old
Are assures filed to the fun with gold.
And the rillS that leap down each cragsy
side.
Over golden sands forever glide.
There are veins of silver hidden there,
And copper and lead are everywhere;
And the whitest marble the world has
seen:
And rubies. and diamonds, and sapphlres
green.
But the strangest thing Of this mountain
strange
That lays 50 deep in the Wasatch range
No miner yet could ser prevail.
Tho oft he'd try its heights TO scale;
No pick has e'er uDturned the ground,
Nor its rocks gave back the hammer S
sound.
As its wealth was stored when the world
began,
It remains untouched by the hand Of man.
And the reasons this, so miners say,
The mountain ever keeps moving away
Always hey md. but ever near,
It's form looms up in the atmosphere.
Lofty and grand 10 the weary eyes,
That so long have sought for its golden
prize;
But approach it from any side they will
1t is just so far in the distance still.
Mid winters SHOWS and summers rains
Since first the pathfinder crossed the
plains,
The old and the young-a molly thrOng-
Have chased this mystic mount along.
And the young grew old, and the old have
died.
TIL their graves dot every mountain
side,
Still continues the chase so strange
All up and down through the WasatcI
range.
only in dreams. have prospectors old
Come up to the foot of this mount OF
gold
And roamed at win Ger its lodges wide.
That crop for miles on every side;
Have delved down deep where its treas
ures are,
TIL they reveled in wealth beyond com
pare;
But stranger than this. at the mornings
dawn.
They awOke in a dream. and stin push
on
50 strong is the spell this mountain
weaves,
That as long as strength OF courage
lives,
once the quest is begun, it goes on for
aye,
Tho limbs grow weak and heads turn
gray.
Full oft as they make their ceaseless
round.
Great mines of wealth in their tracks are
found;
But others reap what they've bought with
pain;
And the endless search goes on again.
And e'er behind them as they pass
Cities spring up in the wilderness,
And the clang and clash Of busy mills,
The silence of the mountains lills-
But rot for them are these scenes OF
life,
Or the dearer joys of home OF wife;
in the lonely wilds they have cast theiI
lot
They build for ave. but they enter not.

MODEL JURYMEN.

Every time a jury is emDaneled to
try a murder case the old fashioned
notion that a trial by jury is "the
palladium Of our liberties seems to
lose a little Of it's ancient solemnity-
Still Il furnishes so much comfort and
consolation TO those who believe in it
that an attempt to dispel the conviction
would be as despicable as to undertake
10 destroy a pious mortal's hope OF a
hereafter.
However. occasional illustrations re-
mind Us that the average juryman is
not always a competent ''5udge Of the
law and the evidence" Notwithstanding
the assurance Of the court. and that
the ideal juryman of the lawyer is not
exactly the ideal of the public.

And so sweetg We are dreaming.

Like an engine loudly steaming.
Or a demon wild with fear.

Or the music Of the spheres, is
Or notes from silver bells;
Yet they never can compare
To the notes that shake the air.
From the newsboys' morning yells.

How they strike the sleeping air,
How We curse and tear our hair,
