When the campaign was on last sum mer, democratic papers east and west were voluble and dogmatic in asserting that the tariff does not help the western wool grower. To their own satisfaction they made it appear that the wool grower who contended for protection was a foolish fellow, and that he really needed a democratic administration and free wool to make him quite prosperous. Here is what the Boston Herald said in its wool report last Friday : The wool market here has not im proved in the slightest degree from the extremely depressed situation noted a week ago. The factors that make the market dull are not improved. Tariff agitation and the possibility of reduced duties on wool unsettle the woolen goods market, to the extent that manufac turers are at a loss as to what they shall do. The possibilities of free wool also make it imperative that dealers shall buy the new clip at figures that will admit of its being sold on the basis of free wool, and none of the dealers are going to buy at any of the prices higher than the basis of free wool, in so far as it is possible to know what a free wool basis is. The Spokane Review evidently believes the tariff is not the true cause of the de pression as the following ridicule com menting upon the Herald's article shows : Now that the market has been reduced to a free wool basis, as admitted by the leading tariff reform journal of New Eng land, why doesn't the band begin to play and the procession to move? Why don't the woolen manufacturers "reach out and conquer the markets of the world," according to democratic ante- election predictions, instead of refusing to duv even on a tree wool basis, as thev are reported to be doing by the Herald? Why don t the spindles hum and wool advance in price, as promised by demo cratic papers who assumed to know all about the question last fall? A critical public has observed that the Montana statue of Justice is bow legged. The artist says it isn't his fault, because Ada Rehan was built that way. Miss Rehan might retort that the criticism evinces a low conception of high art, the curve in Miss Justice's leg being significant of the range habits of Montana, where everybody rides a broncho, and where everybody has a curve of the lower limbs. Hogs ought to bring good prices this year. The decrease in the total number of hogs for the kingdom of Great Bri tain this year is over 1,000,000. The shortage in Ireland is estimated at 1,- 200,000 head. The abnormally high price of bacon and pork, as contrasted with other meats, will .it is thought, greatly stimulate hog breeding. The government has lost nearly $11, 000,000 on the silver bullion it has pur chased since July 1890. It would have been money in Uncle Sam's pocket if he had bought two or three silver mines on his own account when the pig-silver carnival was started. Philadelphia Ledger. James McGuire, an old pioneer sol dier, residing at Jacksonville, was killed by a boy who had been annoying him last Monday night. Being aged and decrepit McGuire was irritable and er ratic, and was easily aggravated into violent outbursts of temper. He was a miner, and on Monday evening some boys were around his place and gave him a fancied or real grievance at some of their acts. Procuring his gun he ran after the boys, and chased one of them into the barn thaeatening to kill him. The young fellow turned upon him and hot him, the ball entering the groin.

Testimony of Surgeons and la to the Contrary. Scientists It is questionable if such a phenome non as instant death is known to the sci entist and investigator. Physicians and surgeons tell us that death by gunshot is the easiest mode of terminating life ; vet, rapid as such a mode of taking off must be, the body has leisure to feel and the time to reflect, and, on rare occasions, even to act. On the first attempt of one of the adherents of the Spanish monarch to assassinate William, Prince of Orange, the ball passed through the bones of his face and brought him to the ground. In the instant which preceded stupefac tion, however, he was able to frame the notion that the ceiling of the room had fallen in and crushed him. The cannon ball that plunged through the head and tore out the brain of Charles XII did not prevent him from seizing his sword hilt. The idea of at tack and the necessity for defense were impressed upon his mind by a blow which we would naturally suppose too tremendous and instantaneous to leave the least interval for thought. Another question in this connection is that of probable pain. Although numerous in stances can be cited in support of the view that the mind acts in cases of so called instant death, it by no means follows that the infliction of a fatal blow is attended by the least semblance of pain or a single pang of fear or regret. Unless death results immediately, how ever, the pain may be as varied as the nature of the injuries. NEWS OF THE STATE.
