MONDAY. JUNE 19, 1888.

TOME OF THE WOOL MARKET. The weekly circular ot Jnatioe, Baleman & Oo., ot Fhiladelpbja, lays that prices for wool have fallen within the past fortnight. Wools of merino blood, such as fine and fine medium, have dropped frotn 60 cento per scoured pound to 50 cents, and apparently have not yet touched bottom. A gradual receding of the market has been expected as the period is approached when legislation at Washington will indicate the actual change to free wool the suddenness of the drop, however, is a surprise. Free wool in the remote future has been regarded as inevitable, but no one expected prices to adjust themselves to that basis so soon. The difficulties of running woolen mills upon protected wool to be made into cloth which is to be sold in six months or a year after in competition with cloth made of "free wool," have, however, been great enough to precipitate prices toward the free wool basis with great suddenness. The extra session of Congress to put wool on the free list has not yet assembled, yet

within a fee days have taken

a tremendous stride toward the free wool basis. Buyers are even yet relnotant to take hold of wool, cheap as it is, and sellers are pressing sales under orders from shippers who are anxiona to realize before values fall still further. Manufacturers, as a rule, cannot be induced to bnv beyond their needs for immediate use. They believe that prices cannot be higher, but are likely to be eyen lower. Holding these views, it is difficult to get them to make offers that can be accepted. Where offers are obtain«fd they are mostly on the basis ot what the buyer thinks will be the value ot wool, say, a month hence. Sellera, on the other hand, recognize the inevitable movement of prices toward the free wool basis, and are reluctantly forced to aooept many low offers, under the belief that what seems almost a sacrifice to-day is likely to ba abetter price than can be reached to-morrow, so that offers which are at nil above the free trade level are generally accepted.

THE 8HEKKAN LAW.

Democratic and Mugwump newspapers attribute all our financial and business ills to the Sherman silver purchasing act. They have dropped the tariff question and are devoting their best energies in an endeavor to show that the Sherman law iB aosonntable for all our financial and commercial evils. This is sheer nonsense. The Shermr.u law was in full operation a year ago, and business of every legitimate kind was prosperous. It is not the Sherman law that has made every business man and manufacturer afraid to extend credit. It is not the Sherman law that has destroyed the confidence of foreign capitalists in the stability ot American industrial enterprises and influenced them to withdraw their money from this country. The total sum that has been paid for silver bullion in the three years since the Sherman law his been in operation is estimated at only about 8130,000,000. To declare that the issue of treasury notes to this amount has impaired the nation's credit is an obvious absurdity. Moreover, it is to ba remembered that expansion of the ^currency has been necessary to accommodate the needs of .trade, and that it will be necessary in the future for the same purpose. The fact ib the election ot Orover Cleveland and a Democratic Congress on a free trade platform was the starting point in the downward movement. The nation was prosperous, industries were expanding and publis confidence was unshaken.

The triumph of the party that iB pledged to overthrow the industries ot the nation has simply produced its inevitable

The Indianapolis Independent is a little rough, but the way it satirizes the Governor's staff is good, notwithstanding: "Un Thursday tho Indiana building at the World's Fair was dedicated and the occasion t.'iujKwl un extraordinary lrruptlou of Hooslors. Kx-I'restilent Harrison delivered the address, and the tisuul mutual admiration and exchange oi compliments took place, but tho great feature was the arrival of tho Governor and his Hiatr. Tlio latter, which numbered an even baker's dozen, with titles a» long as a flagstaff, were out In full parade and for the first time. As they apjieared In their gaudy and gorgeous uniforms, bedecked with gold lace and horsetall plumes, they tnado everything pale before tlicin. Even tho heterogenous mass of ringnosed barbarians In Midway Plalsance, representing every color of tho rainbow, looked inBlKiilttcant when tho Hoosier Governor appeared with his blooming staff training behind hlin. Such a spectacle has never been seen since the monkey painted bis tall a pea-green and hung pendant from the highest limb of a rocoiirjut tree."

Those farmers who voted for free wool in expectation that they would receive better prices now realize in a moat practical way what a wofnl mistake they made.

Oommrncemknt days are here, and we welcome them with a right good cheer.

STREETS UNDER GLASS.

An Kxtrnordlnary Proposition to Cover Over Loudon Thoroughfares.

A proposal to make London a glassroofed city is the subject of a long letter addressed to the London Daily News. The plan, which will not be popular with the umbrella-makers, resembles one in Mr. Bellamy's "Looking Backward." The writer, however, does not treat tho subject as part of a scheme for a future Utopia, but as one to be carried to a practical and successful issue. He says: "The covering of Cheapslde, Poultry, Queen Victoria street, Rogent street, Bond street, or Oxford street with a glass roof may appear a quixotic suggestion, but other at first sight' less practical schemes have been launched successfully, and the world has not ceased to revolve on its axis in consequence. The gain to the great British public, or to that section who are in the habit of traveling the main arteries of London, from a point ot comfort alone, should be sufficient to warrant a trial. Most people prsf er brightness and beauty to dirt and discomfort. Nothing to my mind, c&g tiave a more miserable and tawdry appearanco than a leading London thoroughfare on a wet day, when poor, dripping humanity descends to the depths of despondency and every object, animate,and Inanimate, has a washed-out appearance. A change from tho conditions of things would be delightful to all persons concerned—those who would reside under glass, so to speak, and those who would use the thoroughfare for business purposes. The former would, of course, be called upon to bear the expense oi improvement. If I say the outlay they would incur would be returned to them in a few years, owing to the increased flow of business to their doors—and to the lessened expenditure upon paint and cleaning—I should be under the mark. Our wood and asphalt streets would be dry, perfectly safe in all weathers, and the lease of life doubled or trebled. If the rain water were not preserved for domestio use it could be usefully applied in flushing the sewers with clean water instead of liquid mud. The health of the inhabitants would be greatly benefited by breathing dry atmosphere Instead of a damp, humid one. Our clothes, boots, hats and general comfort would not suffer as they do

POLAR EXPLORATION,

Admiral McCllntook Thinks Frani JoMf Land Nearly Approaches the Pol*.

The veteran Arctic explorer, Admiral Sir Leopold McClintock, has written a letter in which he upholds strongly the advantages of the Franz Josef Land route for polar exploration. He says: "Franz Josef Land does almost certainly approach more nearly to the pole than any other land yet discovered. Therefore I think it is the only route which offers a possibility of success to a North Pole attempt, and this because the Polar Back has been found to be so rugged as to render all attempts to sledge over its surface extremely slow and laborious. To explore the northern shores of Franz Josef Land alone would constitute a success, and one of no ordinary interest. The explorer would in all probability be enabled to approach nearer to the pole than has hitherto been accomplished. A study of the currents and of the positions of the drift-wood from Siberian rivers upon the shores of Spitzbergen would throw light upon tho supposed expansion northward of Franz Josef Land. My Impression is that a vast deal of that drift-wood must have reached its destination by passing northward and westward to Franz Josef Land if this Is so, it seems improbable that It extends very much farther northward than is at present known. But all geographical speculation is extremely unreliable. An expedition wintering at Fran? Josef Land, with well-prepared sledging equipments, would, in my opinion, be in the very best position for adding to our stock of geographical knowledge in as high a latitude as has ever yet been reached, and with the possibility of a still farther northern advance."

Norway Seeking Separation.

The union between Sweden and Norway is in great danger of being broken. The two states are loosely tied, but the Norwegians are Impatient of their slight fetters, and, under cover of a request for separate foreign agents, seek a total separation. The klflg in vain suggested a compromise, and it is stated that the radicals have resolved, if he refuses to establish two foreign ministries, to resign and refuse the supplies. It is scarcely possible that tho king Bhould yield, as his foreign policy would become unworkable—the Norwegians for example, desire close relations with Russia—yet, if ho does not, lie must occupy Norway with Swedish troops, to the confusion of the finances and the production of another great and defl nite grievance in Norway. The true motives of the movement are tho Norwegian disliko of the Swedes, whom they regard as supercilious, and the advance of theoretic democracy In Norway to a point Inconsistent with any monarchy at all.

dews In Jerusalem.

Within ton years the number of Jews in Jerusalem has trebled, half tho present population being of that race. Colonization societies in southern Russia and Roumanla have moved many families on to farms In Palestine, buying agricultural implements for them so that it 1M estimated by a member of the Palestine exploration company there are now two thousand Jews tilling the soil where tliero was not one ten years opo. It is strange to hear of electric lights. and telephone factories and water works In Jerusalem.

St. Tatrlck.

Almost as many countries arrogate the honor of .having been tho natal soil of St. Patrick as made a similar claim with respect to Homer. England, Scotland, Franco and Wales each furnishes Its pretensions but whatever doubts may obscure his birthplace, all agree in stating that, as his name Implies, ho was of a patrician family. He was bora about 372, although thff exact year of his birth is unknown. "Gentle aa the Summer lireeoce." "I'd rather take a thrashing any time than a dose of pill," groaned a patient to whom the doctor has prescribed physic. "I'd as lief be sick with what ails mo now, as to be sick with tho piils." "I don't think you've taken any of tho pills I prescribe, or you wouldn't dread the prescription so," laughed the doctor. "I never use the old, inside twlBters you have in mind. I use Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They always make me think of a part of an old hymn— .' mild and lovely,

Gentle as tho summer breeze.

"Shame! Shamel Thrice shamel" Hear ait indignant cry Against yonr sordid Dives of tho towns.

Is there not gold onough In your hard grip. But you with sacrilegious hands must strip These temples old, where God flrst sol lib name?

Before your hirelings rise the pillared pines In majesty of swerveless rectitude. Like sages old and tried that brood On wisdom, past tho unrest of the times.

Less lofty, but with more of grace, the firs Spread forth their velvet branches tipped with light.

And wind kissed aspens quiver, glad, despite The frown6 of gnarle'T and wrinkled junipers. Behind—one dreary waste from ax and flame!-

The clown hands strike, but you, you guide the blow. What care youth barren, ashy woe. Leaves hill and vale in gaunt and naked shame

That frightened deer fly panting from the change That burned are nests where songsters ohirped and cooed?

You care not. What is lost? A little wood And now your sheep ("Gold, man!") at last havu range!

No! Pity will not move! Then fear, instead, Arouse you to withhold your grasping hands! How is it that none of you understands-^--.. Ho calls a doom on Ids devoted head? Look here! The mocking of tho sand's hoi glare.

Well, once the whole year hero the waters laughed. Here hourly man or beast refreshment quaffed The springs, unbared, are shrinking back)
