Daily Democrat
A ri'ZZLR.
The wool business U a funny business
hen measured by the pledges and prom
ises of the republicans. The leaders (
that part in the last campaign appeal jd to
wool grewers to rote far Harrison so that
a republican administration might secure
our wool grow ers the home market. The
republican politicians were opposed to for
eign wool being imported into this coun
try and sold in competition with our own.
Well, what has taken place since Mr Har
rison took the reins of government. The
imports for Aril of this year compare
with the imports of lat year as follows :
"1889. :SSS.
Clothing wool, lbs 7,8.51,841 1,816,075
Combing d -3M-' 395-4 1
Carpet do 8.404,703 6,033,7"
Thus showing an increase in one month
under Harrison of 7,:j.3:6 pounds over
the corresponding month last year under
Cleveland. The price of wool has been
equally a great a puzzle to the poor delud
ed wool grower, who was frightraed into
supporting Harrison because the Mills bill
put wool on the free list, as the puzzle of
the large increr.se of the importation Of
wocl under Harrison. Last year we were
told that woal w as low because of the prop
osition te put wool on the free list. If men
baught it last year with the idea in view
that the tariff would be removed and paid
lS to 21 cents per pound, and are buying
this year under the most solemn assurances
from the republican leaders that the tariff
will remain intact, why is it that the price
this year is but a shade higher than last
year, when removal of the tariff would en
able importers to sell foreign wool ten to
twelve cents cheaper by the removal of the
tariff ? This is a question that fanners
would do well ta ponder over now while
there is no political excitement to mislead
or warp their judgments.
NEWSl'APEK CHANGE.
M, O. Wimberly who has been connected
with the Roseburg licvievi for the last three
and h?lf years has sold his interest in that
paper oJRN Bell, and will retire from the
newspaper business on account of ill-health.
Chas II Fisher has sold his interest in the
Umpqua Herald to his partner S F Flood, and,
as if to crown the climax, Uell of the Review
and Flood of the Herald have consolidated the
two papers, and will issue the semi weekly
Review hereafter. This change must result in
great benefit to the proprietors of the Review
and Heruld and will be pf great advantage to
Roseburg and Douglas county. We wish our
aeighbors abundant success.
The factious efforts of the republicans of
West Virginia to defeat the will of the
majority of the voters in that state in their
choice for Governor has proved abortive.
The courts have constantly pronounced
against them, and the investigations going
on also tell against them. The legislative
committee which is engaged in re-caavas-ting
the vote has not discovered enough
errors in the count to pay for its labors,and
will report in favor of the democratic can
didate, Fleming.
A coal dealer if Yorkshire, England, has
been in the habit of giving overweight in
selling, the weighing machine being so
constructed as to register about 240a
pounds as a ton. He did this out af pure
benevolence. But strangely enough his
kindness was declared to be illegal by the
authorities, who arrested and lined him
for falsifying an official weight.
Every day that the sun rises upon the Amer
ican people its sees an addition of $2,500,000
to the accumutaion of wealth in the United
States, which is equal to one thirc the daily ac
cumulation of all mankind outside the United
States,
Carpets and upholstery fade when exposed
to the sun, because of the actinic or chemical
power of the sun's rays, which decompose the
dye stuffs. The process is closely analogous to
that which occurs in the taking of photographs.
The 7100 mile of new railroads built ir.
iSSS ca'.led about 36,000 men into the ser
vice.reckoning five employes to the mile,
including officers anj men In all capacities.
The present railway system of the United
States has ar, army of 785,000 men.
Secretary Windom's decision in favor of
the worsted men is raising a perfect storm
among the wool growers, but the latter
class are residing in the bed which they
made with their own hands and therefore
urt not entitled to much sympathy.

A "HUNGRY AXI) TIIIKSTT" RUT BMCAN
A Washington conespondent of the
Chicago Times tells of the'mlsfortunes of
a republican office hunter as follows :
"Henry W Rogers, who is from the west,
has been here since March 4th seeking a
consular appointment. Getting no en
couragement and having been chased out
of several hotels because he had no money
to pay his bills.he started out on the streets
and solicited alms from every person he
met. Last night, in the d.u kness of a se
cluded corner he accosted a cold and un
sympathetic person, and did not discover
his unfortunate blunder until an officer
had a grip on his coat collar and was drag
ging him to the station house, where he
was booked as a common vagrant. He
had nearly $20 in coppers and five-cent
pieces in his pockets, the result of his so
licitations on the streets. The pjlice re
cognized him as having been arrested the
night before for begging, and as having
been let go upon promising to leave town
at once. Rogers says that lie intended to
keep his promise, but concluded to wait a
few days longer in hopes of getting a place
when the next batch of appointments was
announced. Instead of serving the gov
ernment abroad, he will probably receive a
60 days' commission to pound rocks.
The Texas Wooll Growers' Association met
recently at Galveston and adopted resolutions
condemning the triff on wool. That is a
"black eye'' for protection.
