Tribune says: It does not appear that the Democratic party has made successful war on auythiug except the American 6heep. Of those it has slaughtered about 8,000,000 already, or more than a sixth. In reoeut comments on the statement of Mr. Justice about prices of wool, it was observed that the domestic production had been greatly re duced. There is now published the official estimate of the Natioual Associa tion of Wool Manufacturers, which has l»eeu regarded for years past as the most trustworthy, showing ths production of wool this year. The weight per fleece has only slightly diminished, but the slaughter of sheep has reduced the yield about 54,000,000 pounds in two years. Practically, these two years of Democracy have set this industry back where it was fourteen years ago. For the estimated production this year, 294,296,726 pounds, and the destruction of sheep sinoe April 1 has undoubtedly lowered the productive capacity considerably further. The Agricultural Department reports 39,949,- 388 sheep April 1, against 47,273,553 January 1,1893, and the slaughtering at the few Western cities which keep records therefore has been remarkably heavy within the last five months.

T he Line Wiped Out. Chattanooga, Sept. 18.—If one may judge by events of the last two days Mason and Dixon’s line has been wiped off the map. The friendly, brotherly feeling that has been displayed here this week and that which was shown at Louis ville last week by the boys of the gray towards the boys of the blue prove« that bitter sectionalism that so long divided the Union, no longer exists. For nearly a fortnight now the doors of the South have been thrown open to the men who came here thirty odd years ago bearing arms of slaughter and destruction. Not a single incident that would indicate a feeling of hatred on either side has been recorded. “Yanks” and “Johnny Rebs,” grown gray with years, have gone over the great battlefield together, discussed events of those awful days, drank together without stirring up anything like an angry thought Generals who com manded armies for tbs Union have been guests of generals of the confederacy and each has solemnly deelered that there iB no “North and South.” “Events of today- have bound us together us nothing else oould have done, aud the solemn yet joyous events of tomorrow will seal the tie forever.” So spoke a memorable soldier of the North to one of the South at Grass Hill today. Aud the latter answered with tears in his eyes: “Com rade, you are right, shake hands.” And they did. Chattanooga is an energetic town, and its people did as much for the entertainment of their Northern visitors as any one could wish.
