According TO reports from eastern
markets the demand for wool il in-
creasing and the market Is getting
much stronger, though it will in all
probability be some weeks before any
p%erceptible difference is felt in local
markets.
The wool sales in Boston since jan
uary LIST amount to l0l 1893, 000pounds,
as against 66,I3l, 100 pounds for the
same period last year. The mills are
securing large orders for goods and a
better market is promised later in
the season, especially in the finer
grades.
Several sales have already been
consummated at Billings and other
wool markets In this state, hut these
early sales are no indication of this
seasons prices, as the market will
not open strong until the 18th ofnext
month.
From present indications of sales
made Of the Wyoming, Utah and
Oregon clips it is safe to predict that
the selling price OF Montana wool
will range from IL to - cents.

lake Your Wool to BILLINGS.

Dewey, Gould & Co.. one of the
largest wool commission houses In
Boston have sent letters to Fergus
county wool growers this spring adj
wishing them to ship their wool to
Billings. Theletters read as follows:
Dear Sir: Take your wool to Bill
ings; II not possible to get 1t to Bill
ings, take 1t to the nearest town ON
the Northern Pacific. Billings is the
largest western wool market and
therefore has more buyers. Where
there are more buyers there is greater
competition and better prices paidfor
wool. Freight rates east are lower
on the Northern Pacific than on the
Great Northern and the grower gets
the benefits in a better price for his
wool. There will be over ten million
pounds at Billings this season.
Yours truly,
DAN DEWEY, JR.

ShEARlNG AT LEWiST0WN.
This Seasons Clip Shows a Finer Grade OF
Wool Than Last Year.

The result OF the first weeks steady
shearlng at the Lewistown plant
shows n much better clip than that
OF last year, and though the wool,
owing to its ~freeness from dust and
dirt, is much lighter in weight. yet it
is n finer grade than that of last sea-
son.
Last year a band of sheep in travel
ing to the plant would raise immense
clouds of dust, which would settle
into the f%leeces. and the same condi-
tions existed even on the range, the
Must combining with the natural
grease in the fleece rendered it unusu-
ally heavy.
The cleanliness and fineness of this
year'sclip will undoubtedly command
a more uniform price and thereby
make up for the deficiency in weight.
The Lewistown shearing plant. at
. which operations have been consid-
erably delayed owing to the heavy
rains, Is now under full Roadway and
"a fast crew of twenty-eight men are
daily turning out a clip which will
reach the neighborhood OF 1000
pounds.
The first sheep sheared this season
were William Fergus & Sons, and W.
II. Fergus, who is running the plant,
on the occasion of a visit by a repre-
sentative Of the ARGUS, said that the
" clip this year was much finer, cleaner
and also more plentiful than that OF
last eason Teams are being daily
loaded at the plant with William
Fergus < Sons clip, which is being
sent to Benton.
The plant is situated three miles be-
low town and is fitted with the latest
improvements in the way of machin-
cry. The process OF machine shearing
can be seen there to good advantage,
and the busy hum of the machinery,
the driving OF the sheep into the
shearing pens and the loading Of the
teams. compose q scene, which, with
its noise and hustle, contrasts sharp
ly with the quiet aspect of the sur
rounding country. The sheep them
, selves, owing to the richness of the
ranges this spring, are in fine condi-
tlon and V the old ewes, as they
come from the hands OF the shearcr,
look fat and well fed.

LIBERTY NOT LICENSE.

In the press, as we'll as elsewhere,
there is a wide difference between
liberty and license. The liberty Of the
press is vouchsafed in the constitution.
Sometimes this liberty is abused, and
license m~asquerades as liberty.
1t is the duty OF the press to best
serve the public veal. II is the
mission of the press to stand sentinel
for the people. A newspaper should
be a handmade to justice. IL should
publish nothing that will not conduce
to the enforcement OF law, and II
should never publish anything that
would defeat the ends of justice.
Yellow journalism is the curse OF the
age. IL respects not the truth, and is
purely sensational. 1t is never accu-
rate, and is forced one day, to correct
false statements that it has spread OF
the day before. Nor is yellow Journal
ism confined to the north. 1t is crop
ping out 10 the south, and even at the
state capital, there is a iaundiced tint.
Some correspondents north and
south are men of the highest standing;
men who would adorn any profession,
and there are others, who it seems
have 90 appreciation of journalism,
and TO care pothing for the state; men
VINO will send out some yellow fake to-
day, and without any apparent shame
contradict it tomorrow. Such men
are soon estimated at their real value,
and the public soon discovers what
paper TO buy and to read. Public
officials soon come to shur such space
writer's as IA pestilence, and it is onl" a
matter of time, when like Othello, they
are without an occupation.
The press is a power for good, and
the time will soon come, it is hoped,
when none but men OF the highest
character will he permitted TO hold
responsible positions.

THE FARMERS AND BAD ROADS.

Farmers are continually complaining
about their interests being overlooked
and neglected, and yet 10 yearly every
county in the State they entirely con-
troll the Board CT Supervisors, always
having a majority in that body, and
frequently holding every seat. and so
are responsible for every bad condi-
ton that exists that can be remedied
by local legislation. They know that
the values of lands and crops and the
happiness and comfort of their fami.
lies, is dependent upon the character
of the common roads, which are to
them, all that railroads are to the cit
les, and yet they manifest the utmost
Indifference AS TO their character and
condition, and seem perfectly willing
10 most instances 10 adhere to primary
methods and live under the same re-
gime OF mud, or corduroy-causeway
and slush that was compulsory 10 the
old times of meagre population and
sparse facilities, and see their sons and
daughters grow up aud flock TO the
towns to escape the miserable, pent>up
environments of unattractive and mud
isolated homes.
In the cities, towns and villages the
non-producing classes eargerly COM
bine for good streets and sidewalks,
thus advancing the happiness and COM
fort Of their ONE and children, and
cheerfdlly bear whatever share OF the
burden for good county roads the Su-
pervisors may put upon them.-Aber'
deem Examiner.

FIRE THE ~DELINQUENrs.

The following tom she pen of Hon.
Edgar 5. Wilson, should be reproduced
10 every paper in the State. Every
Judge ~ Mississippi when he convenes
court. ought to require the tax collec-
tor, who is also sheriff, to state offici-
ally whether-after a comparison with
his stub books for the past two years
any county or beat officer, or State or
district officer, il any such live in his
county, is delinquent for any tax for
the past two wears, and ii such person
be found in office, the district attorney
should thea and there institute quo
warranto proceedings TO Gust him. 1t
is bad enough 10 all conscience for a
man to default for his taxes, and thus
disqualify him from voting, put when
he has the brazen effroutery, after be-
ing placed 10 Office, to allow himself to
become disfranchised. he ought 10 de-
ceucy resign, and il there be such in
any county Ia the State, then they
ought to be fired.
Mr.. Wilson, in his Mississippi Bu-
e correspondence of the Picayune,
says:
IF the delinquent d. htor for a poll
tax can continue to hold the office to
which he was eligible when indicted,
why cannot the nonresident, the de-
faulter for public moneys aud the felon
do the same? The constitution is the
supreme law of the land, and when it Is
violated government becomes a farce.
Are there any men in the State OF Mis-
sissippi holding office who are not quail
ifeo electors. aud, therefore. not eligi-
bic to hold office. as provided by the
constitution Mississippi has a brave
and devoted press Let it probe into
the matter; let it stand by the constitu~
ton and by all who stand by The con-
stitutiou. II any man, high or low, lit
tie or big, is in Office, whose holding Is
forbidden by the constitution, let him
be scourged from the position by an
outraged public opinion, and not wait
