'his seems to be in spite of the wish of the business interests of the country for a cessation ofagitation and de- spite the fact that what the country needs Is a speedy settlement of the cur- rency question. 'The Republicans are anxious to renew the tariff conflict and will not accopt as final the verdict of 189%. With the nomination of MeKin- ley the Republicans would be commit- ted to im high tariff, But they would algy | be compelled to support a | man whose mcmey plank has sin equivocal sound. Ilere is the opportunity of the Demo- crate party. - By declaring for a sound money standard and nominating a voumgeSus Democrat to maintain the platform the Democratie party will have nothing to fear this fall. In addi- tlon a policy favoring tariff reform and opposition to any further disturbance of the tariff at present would meet with the approvill of the conservative busi- 'ness men of the country. The Demo- cracy can not afford to nominate a straddler on the money question. The cast is well as a majority of the people of the south and west are in favor of sound money and Democrats must see [| tot that their money plank is sound.

Mr. Love will be present to explain how he proposes to create a now city. Mayor Atwater has learned by the action of the Republican city conven- tion that It Is not flways best to be \in the hands of friends.\ the Niagara the fame of. | For the benefit of some of the local Republicans who have had the \cor- rect\ idea on the tariff and its results upon the industries of this country, the following from the Buffalo Courier of yesterday is taken: \More exportations of American wool to England are reported from Bost~n. 'The firm of Nichols & Dupee has just sold 50,000 pounds of wool in the North- west to an English mill which had previ- ously purchased samples of the same kind for examination and test. During the last fortnight also another Boston house, that of Eismann Bros., sold 300,- * 000 pounds of domestic wool to foreign purchasers for cash on somewhat better terms than could be obtained in the home market.\ , \A. correspondent of the American Wool and Cotton reporter writes that a visit paid fo the leading woolen and clothing houses in Utica, Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo and Cleveland, Ohio, reveals the fact that, although the ma- jority of the goods bought for last year have been foreign, the goods bought for the coming fall season have been mostly domestic, and the writer was informed that the goods still to be bought, 'of which there are a good many,' would be mostly demestic. \For some reason that can not be: fathomed by the people that think uno , American industry can be maintained ; in competition with the pauper labor of ; . the old world, the Edgar Thompson ' ' plant of the Carnegie Steel Company at : Braddock, Pa., has undertaken to pro-} duce 16,000 tons of steel rails for the Japaneses Government.\ It is often declared, and especially by Republicans, that duties on manufac- tuered commodities do not raise the price, but no such pretense can be made in the case «of wool. 'TDheir pro- fessed objectis to raise the price. Since the election of Mr. Cleveland it is true that the price 'has fallen 36 per cbut. Wools that formerly sold for 30 now sell for 19 cents per pound. 'The reduction in imported wools has been much more. Republicans insist that they will restore the domestic p‘rices in vogue at the beginning of Oleveland's term, and they propose ito raise the ; price of foreign wools proportionally. Workingmen should note this fact es- pecially, Wool is not a luxury but a : necessity; it is the mw material of ;: much clothing and other necessary ar- ticles. Itis estimated that the price of ' wool forms nearly half the price of these goods. Do workingmen wish to have 'the cost of these necessities rais- ed especially when there is mo excuse for such a raise ? Of all the many large building con- tracts Oharvles Peterson has taken and successfully performed, he has not had one in which the workingmen were not entirely satisfied. Hes the true friend of the the laboring man. His record proves .it, He will further demon- strate it as Mayor. For Excise Commissioner Mr. L. W. Bristol is an exceedingly strong nomi- nation. His Jong experience as an ; official and citizen of this city has been marked by discretion and faithfulness. His judgment in excise matters is especially valuable. Everyone should vote for Mr. Bristol. 'The resolutions relative to Cuban be- ligerency stand a poor show of adop- tion by this congress. After so much \| talk and bluster failure to pass either the Senate or House resolutions will make 'the United States the laughing stock of Europe. 'The convention made no mistake when Mr. Alfred Hanmony was nomi- nated for Constable He has a good reputation as a citizen. He will see that the duties of his office are faithful- ly performed. iA vote for him is your plain duty. It is probably not true that the flood of water in this city yesterday was eaused by the Raines bill. The naval appropriation bill passed the house yesterday without amend- ment. 'the friends of the proposition to build six instead of four new battle ships mustered only 3G votes. It is time to stop this Jingo talk. i 'The Republican machine seems to flourish in spite of the raps it has been receiving of late. But money will make even the most costly repairs. March can be excused at once if he persists in furnishing such weather as this, More exportations of American wool to England are reported from Boston. 'The firm of Nicholls & Dupee has just sold 50,000 pounds of wool grown in the Northwest to an English mill which 'had previously purchased samples of ; the same kind for examination and ' tost. During the last fortnight also an- other Boston house, that of Bismann Bros., sold 300,000 pounds of domestic + wool to foreign purchasers for cash on somewhat better terms than could be 'obtrined in the home market. -Buffalo Courier. Does your head feel as though some- one was hammering it; as though a million sparks were flying out of the eyes ? Have you horrible sickness of the stomach ? Burdock Blood Bitters will cure you. Dr. E. W. Gantt, editor of the Lock- port Review, who has been nominated by the Democrats for Alderman of the 5th Ward of Lockport, is well known and has relatives in this city. His long service in the editorial harness in Lock- port and his able political speeches here in the interest of the Democratic party have made his unusual capacities gen- erally recognizel. As a matter of fact the Lockport Democrats evidently know a good thing when they see it as they have placed in the field a second newspaper man in the person of Charles F. Foley, who is the Democratic nominee for Alderman of the 3rd Ward. Mr. Foley is known here as a bustling young journalist and fre- quently visits Niagara Falls. Ex-Sheriff Nathan D. Ensign, Demo- cratic nominee for Alderman of the 6th Ward, also is quite well known in this city. He was a resident of Gasport for some time and is & veteran in Demo- cratic allegiance and activity. Evi- dently the Democrats of Lockport have started out to win, this spring. -Niag- ara - Falls correspondence - Buffalo Courier. For McKinley to stand on an out-and- out gold-bug platform in Ohio would be extremely dangerous to him. It would insure division. It would break the delegation to St. Louis, which hangs to- gother for him even now by only a rope of sand. These New York and New England men, supplemented by their partisans in Wisconsin and Minnestoa, are driving him to a position between burning and drowning. They mily be able to force an anti-silver policy in the extreme East, but Ohio is a Western state, and in the judgment of her most thoughtful and candid citizens, a silver state. Can't they take the \favorite son\ on the protection platform,. and allow a little thing like money to stand | @aside? If an Anglo-Saxon International High Court of Arbitration be established as the result of the Venezuelan incident, to our distinguished and beloved towns- man, Chauncey M. Depew, will belong the honor of inaugurating the move- ment on this side the water. His me- morable address before the State Bar Association in January caused the ap- pointment of the Arbitration Commit- tee of that association, which is now laboring assiduously and with promise of success to substitute a permanent court for diplomatie argument and for war. OLIVER PIKES: BODY. Identity of Chicago's Trunk Corpse Es- tablished Beyond a Doubt. CHICAGO, March 80.-The body of the 'man fouud in a zinc box four days ago, and since awaiting identification at the county morgue, has been claimed as the body of Oliver Pike of Seattle, Wash. Mrs. Theodore O. Moshier of Ravens . wood called at the morgue and produced so many evidences that the body was that of Pike, who disappeared from Seattle over three years ago, that the morgue peo- ple were almost satisfied of the correct ness of the identification. Pike's mother lives in Fayette, O. Examination of the corpse showed that the teeth were all sound and in good con- dition, and contained no fillings whatever. This casts a decided doubt on the identi- fication of the body as that of Chaseal, the Fronchman, who disappeared mysterious ly from Salt Lake City. Mrs. Booth-Tucker IH. NEW YORK, March 30.-Mrs. Booth Tucker was too ill to be seen by any of the Salvation Army officers. She was confined to her bed at the residence of Staff Cap- tain Keith, where she went soon after her arrival here. Mrs. Tucker is suffering from nervous prostration, brought on by her long and rough trip across the ocean. She will probably meet her brother, command- er Ballington Booth, either at Montclair or at a hotel in this city tomorrow. Rev. T. G.

Burtwayo, Matabele, March 30.-Cap- tain Gifford, leading a rescue force, left here on Thursday and succeeded in rescu- ng 88 whites who had gone into laager at Inseza. This was not affected until after repelling an attack by a force of well armed Matabeles and inflicting upon them a heavy loss. The loss suffered by Gif- ford's force in the engagement was one killed and six wounded. Captain Spreckley, who repulsed a strong force of Matabeles on Thursday, inflicting a heavy loss upon them, has re turned to Buluwayo bringing with him alarge number of prisoners. He brings tho disastrous intelligence that all the whites in the Filibusi district have been massacred by the natives, including Messrs. Bentley, Edkins, Baragwanath and Carpenter. 'The corpses of all of those killed were horribly mutilated and their faces were burned almost beyond recognition. The native police, who are known to have incited the uprising, have been dis- armed, and several Matabele spies have been arrested. . A family of eight persons have been bru- tally murdered, and two prospectors are missing in the country near hove. The enemy is reported to be massing only 80 miles distant from here, and the keenest anxiety is felt at the oublook, and an attack upon the town.is now hourly expected. Hon. Cecil Rhodes, who was expected to arrive here by this time, has nob yet re ported. No anxiety is experienced for his safety, though his position, traveling in the country, is corbain to become an un- pleasant one. MAFEXING, Cape Colony, March 30.- Five thousand pounds of arms and am- munition have been dispatched from here to Buluwayo under the escort of the Bechuanaland police. There is the keenest anxiety throughout the Transvaal as to the fate of the unpro- tected Boers and their families in Maita- beland. Many burghers are requesting the gov- ernment to grant them permission to go to the assistance of their threatened coun- trymen,. 'The French government has confer- ed the cross of the Legion of Efonor on Prof. F. W. Putnam of Harvard in re- cognition of his acvhievements in the field of science.

LoOXDOX®, March 80.-Colonel William Ludlow, military attache of the American embassy at London, recently sent by the government to inspect the various Eu- ropean canals with the view of reporting the working in comparison with the pro- posed Nicaragua canal said regarding his inspection: 'The inspection proves a labor- ious, though interesting undertaking. OI have thoroughly inspected the Suez canal. Ib is a wonderful success. 'Phereis hardly any other enterprise in the world, regarded purely as a commercial investment, that is yielding so large a return. . ' \I also went to Greoce and witnessed the working of the Corinth canal.\ While entirely different both in aim and con- struction, it is still a success. - \I also thoroughly inspected the new German canal. 'This is a wonderful af. fair, and Germany can now use her navy in both seas. ‘ \From Germany I went to Holland and thoroughly inspected their system of wa- terways. . I have yet to visit the Manches- - ter ship canal and possibly the Caledonian .- canal in Scotland. Then I shall submit tmy ffaporb to the government at Washing- on. n Asked as to his opinion of the feasibil- ity of the Nicaragua canal after viewing the workings of the others, Colonél Lud- low said: \I am more than ever convinced that it is feasible. But until my report is submitted I aim unable to make any de- tailed statement.\ ' ‘ Great Excitement In France. - - PARIS, March 80.-The political world of France is again in a highly perturbed. condition, and there are indications going to show that the government seeks to re- trace some of the steps by which it has been placed in the position of impotent acquiescence in the dispatch of an Egyp- tian expedition up the Nile and the de: fraying of the expenses of it out of the Egyptian debt surplus. < The government will be interpellated in the chamber: of deputies today ministers will bo under the nécessity of making some kind of statement in reply. An important debate is expected to result, and there is a feeling in some quarters that far reaching changes of policy may be announced. & The air is electric with expectation; and numerous rumors are current of grave things that are in contemplation.
