A MEASURE. UNNECESSARY.
Something which the Protective
Tariff Renders Entireiy SUPER
nuous and Uncalled For.

Gen. Grosvenor's bill requiring all
manufacturers Of goods made of wool
to attach to each piece put upon the
market card declaring the materials
of which II is made Is again talked OF.
This is measure Of the Wool Growers
association and is designed to compel
manufacturers to use pure wool in
stead of shoddy, cotton and other sub
stitutes. The champions OF the bill at
tempt to create the impression that
more shoddy is used in American cloths
than ever before, and that 1t is very
bad. Shoddy as now manufactured
contains nothing unwholesome; 1t Is
simply wool which has once been used,
being manipulated and used again. 1t
has been used for years. The British
manufacturer was the first to use 1t
in large quantities, andhe does SO now.
At the present time our tariff so dis.
eliminates against shoddy for manu-
featuring purposes that it cannot be
imported to advantage, says the In
dianapolis Journal. Cottonhas always
been used more or less, else the phrase
"all wool and yard wide" would not
be nearly hundred years old. Those
who advocate the bill are proceeding
upon the assumption that If each piece
of goods offered by tailor should be
stamped with the proportion of wool
and the substitutes customers would
demand an unadulterated article. If
the unadulterated should cost much
more they would not. Besides, large
part of the American people, and, by
the way, the best clothed people in the
world, purchase ready-made clothing;
would the authors of this bill COM
pei the manufacturers of such clothing
ing the proportions of wool, cotton and
shoddy which the material may con-
tain? If so, how many inspectors
would it take to make certain that the
tag gives the proportions correctly?
During the brief existence Of the
Gorman-Wilson tariff law, in which the
wooden industry suffered most, our
markets were filled with the cheap
woolens or alleged woolens of Europe,
and particularly of Great Britain,
whose manufacturers were past mas
tiers in the use of shoddy and other
adulterants i'm the manufacture of
woolens before we had begun wooden
manufacture in this country on q
large scale. Having the notion that
whatever was British was the best, we
were more nearly being clothed with
shoddy and other substitutes for wool
than ever before or since. To tag ev-
cry piece of American-made goods to
show the materials of which it is made,
and allow the wooden goods of Europe
to come in without such labels. might
so interfere with the use of shoddy
and cotton by home manufacturers as
to give our market for the cheaper
cloths to foreign competitors.

Exchange Treaties.

Washington, June 16.-Secretary
Hay and Baron Boncheur, the Belgian
minister, Saturday exchanged the final
notifications of the new Belgian ex-
tradition treaty. This is one of the
latest conventions which the depart
ment is drawing on modern lines with
nearly all the countries with which we
already have extradition treaties of
rather ancient date. The new treaties
include offenses which were not recog-
nized as subjects for extradition when
old treaties were drawn. Thus in the
case of the new Belgian treaty, the
crimes of larceny, kidnapping, and OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses
are added to the crimes already enum-
Grated in the old treaties.

Washington, June 16.-At the ur-
gent request of President Roosevelt
and Secretary Moody, Admiral Dew
ey will command the feet composed
of the North and South Atlantic and
European squadrons which will en-
gage in extensive naval maneuvers III
the Caribbean next winter. President
Roosevelt and Secretary Moody are
both anxious to attend the maneu
vers. 1t is not yet decided whether
or not the president will go. but Sec
rotary Moody probably will. Both
the president and secretary will at
tend the maneuvers on Long Island
Sound in August.
Ever since it was decided to con-
duct maneuvers in the Caribbean dur
ing the coming winter President
Roosevelt and Secretary Moody have
been of the opinion that it would
be most fitting for the admiral of
the navy to command the great OPP
erations. Secretary Moody took oc-
casion to emphatically refer to the
energy of the interest which Admiral
Dewey demonstrated in the work of
the navy. He declared that the pa
pers and recommendation which had
come to him from Admiral Dewey
had been prepared with as much en-
thusiasm as might have been expect.

VICTIMS OF A STORM.
Tornado Sweeps Through Central

Chicago, June 12.-Ten persons are
known to have persisted, scores were
injured, hundreds of head of live stock
killed, and, roughly estimating, 81 .ooo.-
600 damage done to farm and town
property by terrific storm that
swept q path so miles wide and nearly
200 miles long, through central Illinois,
Tuesday night and early Wednesday
morning.
The tornado struck the richest por-
tion of Illinois, devastating Mclean

United States in farm property. wiped
half dozen hamlets off the earth,
wrecked many buildings in Blooming
ton, Peoria, Lincoln. Champaign, Ur-

area, blew down barns and outbuild-
ings, ruined growing grain, tied up
railroad traffic, and practically cut off
the entire section from telegraph and
telephone connection with the outside
world for over IL hours. 10
The list of dead probably is incom-
plete and there is no way Of securing
a complete list of the injured. Three
boats plying on the Illinois river at
Peoria are missing and are supposed
to be at the bottom OF the river.

TICKET WITHOUT A NAME.
The Nondescript Nature of Com.
binntLon Which Ii Character
istically Democratic.

The official report of the populist and
democratic conventions at Hutchinson
would be regarded as a hoax if they
came from any other state save Kansas.
Nowhere else on Gods green earth
could the transaction of important du-
ties be made SO silly and nonsensical,
says the Kansas City Journal.
A populist committee went into the
democratic convention to negotiate for
q fusion between the two parties. a
democratic delegate got up and said:
"The populists can either take the
democratic name or go to the devil"
Thereupon the populist committee
withdrew in great anger and reported
to the populist convention that it had
been "insulted," and the populist con-
vention adopted resolutions scoring the
democratic convention for its rudeness.
But almost Immediately a committee
Of grave and reverend democrats APP
peared in the populist convention and
said the populists need. not go TO the
devil; that they were very good people,
and that the democrats would like to
have them come over and be sociable.
"Our delegates spoke without due de-
liberation" said the chairman of this
committee. "We don't know whether
we are populists or democrats, and you
don't know whether you are democrats
or populists, so the best way to do
would be to adjourn without claiming
to be either, and let the state conven-
tions settle which we are"
And so IL was decided. The man who
was nominated for congress doesn't
know the name of the ticket on which
he will run, or the set of principles he
will be expected to stand up for. The
delegates to the two conventions don't
know the name of the ticket they will
vote for Mt the coming election or the
policies their candidates will repre-
sent. The annals of American political
history might be searched without
finding anything more trifing and con-
temptible.
