MONDAY. JUNE 19, 1888.

TONE OF THE WOOL MARKET. The weekly circular of JuBtioe, Bateman & Co., ol Philadelphia, «ayi that prices for wool have fallen within the past fortnight. Wools of merino blood, such as fine and fine medium, have dropped from 60 cents per eoonred pound to 50 cents, and apparently have not yet touched bottom. A gradual receding of the market has been expected ae 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 prices within a few days have taken a tremendous stride toward the free wool basis. Buyers are even yet reluotant to take hold of wool, cheap as it is, and sellers are pressing Bales under orders from shippers who are anxious to realize before values fall still further. Manufacturers, as a rule, cannot be indnced to buy beyond their needs for immediate use. They believe that prices cannot bfc 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 obtained they are mostly on the basis of what the buyer thinks will be the value of wool, say, a month hence. Sellers, on the other hand, recognize the inevitable movement ot 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 bs a better price than can be reached to-morrow, so that offers which are at ail above the free trade level are generally accepted.

THE SHEBKAN 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 nn endeavor to show that the Sherman law is aceountable for all our financial und commercial evils. This is sheer nonsense. The Sherman 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 of American industrial enterprises and iulinenced them to withdraw their money from this country. The total Bum that has been paid for silver bullion in the three years since the Sherman law hus 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, More-over, it is to be remembered that expansion of the _ourrency has been npcesfinry to accommodate the needs of trade, and that it will be necessary in the future for the same purpose. The Tact is the election ot Qrover Cleveland and a Democratic Congress on a free trade platform was the starting point in the downward movement. The nation was prosperous, industries were expand ing and public confidence was unshaken. The triumph of the party that is pledged to overthrow the industries of the nation has simply produoed its inevitable effect.

TUB Indianapolis Independent ie little rough, but the way it satirizes the Governor's staff is good, notwithstanding: "OH Thursday tho Indiana bulldin# at the World's Kiilr wua dedicated and the occasion ciuiseil an extniordlinir* irruption of Hooslors. Kx-I'ruslilvnt Harrison flclivored the address, and the- usuul mutualadmlratlon and exchange ol compliments took place, but tho great feature WHO the arrival of the Governor and his mull'. Thu latter, which numbered an even Inker's dozen, with titles as long as a flagstaff, were out In full parade and for the Bret time. AM they appeared In their gaudy and gorgeous uniforms, liedecked with gold lace and horsetail plumes, they mado everything pale before Uiein. Even tho heterogenous muss of rlng-MOKI-CJ barbarians In Midway Platsanco, represent* every color of tho ralnDow, looked InHliniltlcant when tho Hoosler Governor ap pea red with hlH blooming Btaff training behind lilin. Sueh a spectacle has never boen noon since Die monkey painted hu tall a pea-green and hung pendant from the highest limb of cocuiujiil tree."

THOSE farmers who voted for free wool in expectation that they would receive better prioes now renlize in a moat practical way what a woful mistake they liuido.

STREETS UNDER GLASS. A.H Extraordinary Proposition to Cover Over Loudon Thoroughfares*

A proposal to make London a glM8» roofed city Is the subje«t 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 "LookingBackward." The writer, however, does not treat tho Bubject as part of a scheme for a future Utopia, but as one to bo 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. Tho 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 of comfort alone, should be sufficient to warrant a trial. Most people prefer brightness and beauty to dirt and discomfort. Nothing to my mind, c&$ have a more miserable and tawdry appearance 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 uso the thoroughfare for business purposes. The former would, of course, be called upon to bear the expense of improvement. If I say the outlay they would incur would be returned to them in a few years, owing to tho Increased flow of business to their doors—and to tho lessened expenditure upon paint and clcaning^—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 domes tie use it could be usef ally 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 MoCllntock Thinks Frui Josef Land Nearly Approaches the Pole. The veteran Arctic explorer, Admiral Sir Leopold McCllntock, 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, nnd this because the Polar Rack has been found to be so ruffged 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 "the 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 Franz 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 kiflg 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 should yield, as his foreign policy would become unworkable—the Norwegians for example, desire close relations with Russia—yet, if ho does not, he must occupy Norway with Swedish troops, to the confusion of the finances and tho production of another great and definite grlevanco in Norway. The true motives of- the movement are tho Norwegian dislike of the Swedes, whom they regard us supercilious, and tho advance of theoretic democracy in Norway to a point inconsistent with any monarchy at all.

Jttws la Jerusalem*

Witnin ten years tho number of Jews in Jerusalem has trebled, half the present population being of that race. Colonization societies in southern Russia and Roumania have moved mnny families on to farms iu Palestine, buying agricultural implements for them so that it is estimated by a member of the Palestine exploration company there arc now two thousand Jews tilling the soil where tliero was not one ten years ago. It Is strange to hear of electric iiprhts. and telephone factories and water works in Jerusalem.

St. atrlck.

Almost as many countrleB arrogate the honor of .having been the natal soil of St. Patrick a a made a similar claim with respect to Homer. England, Scotland, Franco and Wales each furnishes lta pretensions but whatever doubts may obscure his birthplace, all agTee in stating that, as his name implies, he was of a patrician family. IIo was born about 3V2, although exact year of his birth is unknown. "Gentle an the Summer lireexe." "I'd rattier take a thrashing any time than a dose of pill," groaned a patient to whom tho doctor has proscribed physic. "I'd as lief be sick with what ails mo now, as to bo sick with tho pills." "I don't think you've taken any of tho pills I prescrtbo, or you wouldn't dread the prescription so,n laughed the doctor. "I never uso tho old, insido twlBters you have in mind. I use Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. They always make me think of apart of an old hymn-—

OeDtle as the summer breeze.
