The Wool Tariff.

The high wool and woolens tariff en-
acted in 1897 to replace the wool law of
1894 has brought a considerable re-
duction in quantities of wool imported
and a very heavy reduction in the i'm
much is at least to be conceded for the
Dingley law. Nevertheless it has
proved a great disappointment to the
wool growers of the country. They
have not begun to gain what the for
eign grower and manufacturer have lost.
-GSpringfield Republican.
1t is encouraging to find free trader
conceding anything. The editor of the
Springfield Republican might have gone
further and conceded that prices of wool
in this country are nearly double the
prices of free wool days and much higher
than the prices in foreign markets. He
might have conceded that more wool is
now being sold in the Boston market
than ever before in our history He
might have conceded that both in number
and value our sheep have increased won
derfully since the days of free wool In
1896. He might have conceded that
wooden goods were never so cheap, and
that the workers in our wooden mills
were never earning so much money. All
this he might have conceded and much
more, but instead he says: They have
not begun to gain what the foreign
grower and manufacturer have lost"
We produce eleven per cent of the
worlds wool. Are we expected to gain
as much as all the rest of the world

NEWS IN BRIEF.
Damage by Wind and Wave.

A hurricane swept over westchester,
the Long Island shore and the Jersey
coast on Saturday night doing great
damage on sea and land. Vessels were
torn from their moorings, landed high
and dry in the streets or on the shore,
cast on rocks or blown out to sea, after
running down other craft
The country estates of wealthy New
Workers along the shore in Westchester
suffered severely, and clubhouses ana
hotels in the same section were torn
from their foundations, unroofed or
damaged in other ways. Similar con-
ditions prevailed in New Jersey, where.
in some instances, people were impris-
oned in their houses by floods
Railway trains and trolley cars in the
sections covered by the hurricane were
forced to cease running on account OF
washouts, undermined tracks and de-
stroyed bridges. In New York city the
tide rose higher than has been known in
many years. Low lying streets along the
river fronts were submerged for blocks,
and many cellars were flooded. Passen-
gers had to be landed by RATS from some
steamers. The rapid transit tunnel was
considerably damaged, an dthe work will
be somewhat impeded.
Seven men were drowned on the New
Jersey coast. The total damage in New
York and New Jersey is estimated at
100000. The storm was severe all the
way between New York and Boston.
The high tide in the Charles river
caused damage to many residences in
the Back Bay, Boston.

THE EDITORIAL FORUM.
A Great Problem.
MORTIFIED News.1

See the thing creep along. In the pro-
hibition state of Vermont a high license
or local option law is advocated for the
regulation of the liquor traffic on the
ground that the present law cannot be
enforced and that It encourages perjury
and contempt for all laws-bessides all
the other evils that can be thought out
in long days of study and sleepless
nights. In Massachusetts, where a local
option law prevails and the license sys-
tenn is conducted on superior grounds to
that of most other large states, there are
arguments presented for allowing this
thing and that thing, each small in IT.
self but beyond the limits of the law. on
the ground that conditions demand GER
tain concessions and If made will DO
much to harmonic things in connection
with the law. In New York where LIQUOR
is sold without much attempt at restraint
except Sundays, the argument is being
freely used that a modification of the
law must be made so that the saloons
can open certain hours on that day In
order to do away with blackmail and
protection by police; and 1t cannot be
denied that many good people favor such
a movement. Encouraged by the evident
disposition in some influential quarters
to grant Sunday opening a suggestion
has been made that the small saloon
keepers be not required to pay so heavy
license and that If concessions are
thus made to them there will be less
illegal selling-meaning that less num-
Der of saloons will run without a license
And there you have it. One concession
to the liquor traffic is followed by a re
quest for another. In prohibition state
the call from some quarters is for a
stringent high license law; in a high IL
cense city where the liquor business can
undoubtedly be best regulated in that
way comes the demand for more lee
way; in moderate license city the de-
mand is for Sunday openings and lower
license and in a low license state we
suppose that the complaint is made that
there is any attempt whatever to regu-
late the, traffic. The liquor question is
indeed a great problem.

Timely Discussion.

Appropriate to the coming session of
Congress, before which Reciprocity will
be one of the most vital and prominent
questions, is the Atlantic Monthly's dis
cussion of this great topic. A month
ago, the Atlantic printed a paper by Sgd
ney Brooks, caustic but friendly state
ment of the European side of the case
and the views of European nations; while
the forthcoming December) Atlantic will
open with review of the subject from
the American side by John Ball Osborne,
secretary of the reciprocity commission,
under the title of Expansion through
Reciprocity" Mr.. Osborne gives a brief
historical resume of the question and ex-
presses strong conviction that our pres
ent mercantile expansion abroad will
arouse concerted tariff opposition from
European governments, of which the
mutterings are already audible, unless
we disarm such opposition in advance by
means of reciprocity arrangements, which
he regards as 1.-THE only safeguard against
war of retaliatory tariffs, destructive to
commerce and prejudical to international
comfy"

An adjourned term of the United States
circuit court will be opened before Judge
H. II. Wheeler at Rutland next Monday,
Dec. 2. The most important cases on
the docket are those against Lieut.. Gov.
Martin F. Allen and John w. Ketchum
for completely in wrecking the Farmers
National bank of Vergennes. 1t is I'M
derstood that an attempt will be made to
get continuance of the case against
Ketchum.
The barns on the Nathan Morrison
place in Huntington were burned Satur-
day afternoon, with contents, including
two horses. eight COWS, farming tools
etc. The loss is $4,000. There was $1,000
insurance on the barn. The contents
owned by Peter Lafayette, who lives on
the farm, were not insured One horse
owned by Walter Brown, was valued at
800. Men who came to the fire followed
tracks in the snow, which led from the
barn to a cabin on the mountain two
miles away. George H. Morrison and
George Norton, who were found in the
cabin, were arrested and taken to Bur-
lington for hearing. During the last
few weeks there has been a number of
lawsuits instituted against Walter Brown,
Peter Lafayette and Mrs. Peter Lafay-
cite, the latter being a sister of Morrison.
The suits grew out of the sale of a horse
owned by Mrs. Lafayette and Morrison
The suits have resulted in a combination
neighborhood and family quarrel.

New YOrk's Latest Bridge Project.

Besides the present Brooklyn bridge,
two other bridges are in process of con-
struction across the East River between
New York and Brooklyn-a secono
suspension bridge and cantilever
Island But these enterprises are all put
in the shade by the proposed suspension
bridge which is to cross the Hudson
river from 2Sd street, New York, to Ho-
boken, N. ]. Plans for this great struct-
ure have been approved by the war de-
partment, and charter has been grant
ed by Congress. The bridge is the de-
sign of Gustave Lindenthal an eminent
engineer and is a stupendous conception.
1t will cross the Hudson by a single
span 5000 feet long and the towers sup
porting the cables will be 600 feet high
above the water level. The bridge will
have three decks, the upper one for foot
passengers and the other two for rail-
way tracks. The middle deck will carry
six railway tracks, and the lowest deck
eight tracks. Besides the railway tracks
there will be roadways for vehicles and
a bicycle path The estimated cost is
100000, which seems low for such a
much less, relatively, than the cost of
the East River suspension bridge 1t will
be constructed by the Pennsylvania rails
road company, and the beginning of the
work only awaits the cooperation of the
other railways entering Jersey City. The
great cost of the structure makes neces-
sary its use by all these roads in order
that 1t shall be paying investment.

Machinery Costing $4,000 for Ashes.
tos Mines,

Benjamin Daley and Harry Wheeler
have heavy teams at Eden to assist in
moving $4,000 worth of machinery which
is being installed at the asbestos mines
there. The machinery is very cumber-
some and as it has to be drawn from
Hyde Park, a distance of IA miles, loads
of only 10 tons a day can be drawn, so
the work will require two weeks time.
For instance, the rolls of one of the
quartz crushers weigh ten tons each.
The opening of this asbestos mine prom
ises to be a boom for Eden as there are
now already 95 men employed in and
around the mines. The asbestos is
found in large quantities and if it aver
ages to yield on the basis of the samples
taken out, it is estimated the ore will
yield $500 to the ton.
