The Dotf atlli Too Blah, Even from Repnbllcaui Standpoint. The protectionists have made a great howl over the bad condition of the wool mannfactnrera nnder the Wilson act, though many of tbe latter do not join in the outcry. It is quite true that onr im ports of woolen goods in the year 1895 increased largely as compared with 1894. The figures for tbe two years were gleefully compared to show tbe ruinous tendencies of the new tariff, although tbe immense imports of raw wool by the American manufacturers indicated dearly enough that they were not idle. As we have heretofore shown, 1804 was a year of enforced economy and business depression, to such an ex tent that the market became bare of goods. When business improved, both tbe importers and domestic manufaotur ers bad an extraordinary demand to supply. While this extraordinary demand last ed the protectionists eagerly quoted eV' ery statement in an English paper which pointed to business prosperity. . They wagged their heads and said, "See bow your tariff makes the British prosper oust" Reoently, however, there has been a change. Tbe extraordinary de a and appears to have been satisfied, and tbe parading of extracts from Engiisn papers has become a deoaying industry, News from Bradford, the great English woolen manufacturing city, is to the effeot that many American orders given last year have recently been canceled. The reason for this is thus explained in a letter from Bradford to The American Wool and Cotton Reporter : "I have been in company today with half a dozen Bradford shippers, and it is tbeir united testimony that American factories, Washington mills and one or two others are - turning out fabrics at present a shade oheaper than can Brad ford makers that is to say, when ship ping charges and duty are paid. Ameri can manufacturers are placing on toe New York market clay worsteds at some 8 to aw oenta cheaper tnan can Bradford, quality, style and get op be ing fully equal to Bradford makes." This shows that the tariff on woolens, instead of being too low, is higher than was demanded by tbe Republican plat form of 1892. That platform demanded a tariff on competitive articles equal to the difference of wages at home and abroad. That the difference is greater than this is proved by the ability of the American manufacturers of woolens to undersell the importers. Gorman and his associates in the senate gave the manufacturers more than they asked for, and yet they call the present law a free trade tariff. The duties on woolens are too high, even from a Republican standpoint. Louisville Courier-Journal. NOT A STATESMAN. MeKlnley Baa Little Exoept Hit Tariff Views to Beeonunend Him. Senator Cullom thinks McKinley is less qualified for tbe office of president than any other conspicuous candidate. Possibly Senator Cullom 's views may be somewhat colored by the fact that MoKinley is making considerable in roads upon the Illinois delegation, bnt nevertheless there are many people who agree with the man who looks some thing like Lincoln. Tbe fact is that ex-Governor JlcKin- ley has never given any special evidence of statesmanship. The legislation for which he is chiefly noted the McKin ley bill was repudiated by the Ameri can people with as mnch emphasis as any legislation of recent years. In fact, many prominent protectionists think the bill was buuglingly and injudicious ly drawn up. As governor of Ohio McKinley did not add to his reputation. In fact, many people of Ohio do not hesitate to say among themselves that in executive qnalities their late governor showed himself deficient Be plainly did not make a great governor of Ohio. . No campaign of shouting at Colum bus and fat frying later on can make a candidate really great Major MoKinley is an amiable and well intentinned man, but there is mnch presidential timber of sounder quality in his party than he.

C BRUIN AND THE BOAT, THE DEER STORY MAN SIGHED, BUT sXlD NOT A WORD. A Story of a Bear and Hunter la Ca noe With Mo Weapon Except Hla Wits. It Waa a Naval Battle Royal, and Brains Won a Hagnlfloent Victory. They bad been telling all sorts of hunting stories, some almost too mirac ulous to be believed, exoept by hunters who had had experiences and knew what strage things sometimes occur far away amid the forest wilds when there are no witnesses. The last man bad told of deer hunting in the water, and a squat, heavy set man sitting in the cor ner seemed particularly interested in the tale. "That reminds me," he said, when he had a chance to come in, "of an ex perience I once bad up in the lake re gion of Canada. A party of us were in camp there, along in the fall, and were having great sport with the rod and gun. We had secured specimens of all the game and fish for which the section was noted except a bear, and of that tracks had been reported not far from camp, and we were to try for bruin as soon as we had made proper prepara tions. Tbe day before we were to start ont on the bear hunt I had gone off up tbe shore of the lake in a light canoe we bad to "fish for a couple of hours and get a fry for supper. I had nothing with me in the canoe except my fishing outfit and no Bort of a weapon unless the canoe paddle might be called one. But a man didn t need a weapon to catch fish with, so I gave no thought to it I had fonnd a nice cave up tbe cove about a mile from csmp, and there 1 stopped the canoe about 60 feet from shore in deep water and threw out my line. Luck was good, and I had pulled in five or six fine fellows and was hav ing more fun than anybody, except tbe fisherman, when I was startled by a splash from tbe thicket lining tbe shore, and tbe next minute a whopping big bear was making for me lickety split To say that I was scared doesn't half express it. I waa paralyzed. I didn't even have sense enough left to grab my paddle and try to get away. I simply caught it up and held it in my hand as I would a club and waited. But the bear didn't wait fie was very evident ly hungry, or be never would have at tacked me out there in the boat, and he was coming straight for me. I waited for him to get close enough to bat him one, and then I gave it to him with the canoe puddle square between the eyes. It dazed him a little, but it was far more disastrous to the paddle, and when I straightened op from delivering the blow I had only about two feet of the paddle left in my hand. The rest of it, splintered, was floating in the wake of the bear. He gave himself a shake after I bit him, and the next minute he had caught tbe side of tbe canoe with one of his big paws and was manifesting a violent desire to get aboard with me. As he weighed about 400 pounds and was as powerful as a horse it did not require a very strong haul to settle that part of the proceeding early, and instead of his coming aboard with me tbe canoe J was upset, and I went into tbe water j with him. j "By this time a portion of my wits bad returned, and I bad sense enough. and Children.

I was a good swim mer and had a faint idea if I got head ed toward the shore I could ontswim my enemy and get away, so I turned, as soon as I got straightened out in the lake, and put back tbe other way. The bear in the meautime had started around tbe end of the boat, coming my way. I don't know what it was, wheth er inspiration or fear or bravery, but certainly it was something out of tbe ordinary, for as I went around one end of tbe boat and, tbe bear was at the oth er or quite near it I was struck with an idea, and instead of trying speed with the bear for tbe shore I concluded to try wits with him right where we wera So I swnng on to the end .of the canoe, which was bottom side up, and as the bear came toward me, I tilted the other end up, and with a sudden jerk, dropped the inverted boat over the bear's hei.il. The next minute I was on top of tbe boat with the bear nnder me. I guess be didn't know what had happened to bim, for be didn t seem to do anything nnder there except to bump his head against the bottom and growL I thought at first he might have sense enongb to dive and come ont on the other aide;' but, like turkeys that walk into a pen through a hole heading from the outside into it, and, never once looking down for tfeQ hole to get out at, run around inj a crazy kind of a way till they arel caught, that bear staid nnder the boat with me on top of it, bumping his head and growling. Br this time I was feel-1 ing a good deal like Napoleon crossing, the Alps, or like some other great hero, and felt still more like it as I noticed! the bumping and the growling growing! less every minute nntil finally tbeyi ceased altogether. I didn't understand' that quite and began to wonder if the bear wasn't catching on to himself and! thinking of the easiest way to get at his dinner, when over in the clear water ot, tbe lake, a dozen feet or so from the1 boat, I saw something big and dark' slowly going toward the bottom and drifting away. Another look convinced I me it was my bear, and another minute' fonnd me swimming for the shore at 40 miles an hour, more or less. Half an : hour later I was on the spot again with three men in a big canoe, and still half! an hour later found us on shore with tbe body of the bear, which we had re-1 covered from the water. It was a clear1 case of human intelligence against brute force, with" the intelligence the victor, of course, but when any more contests like that are booked I desire it understood that I am not competing.
