der the ad vólorem Tarilï system has boon in importe of olives, whieh appear to have been Invoiced at jast one-half of their truc value. As th ; supply of olives of California growth forma an important factor in supplyiog our domestin niarket, the Importen of foroign olives naturally feel the eompotition and evidently are prepared to hold our parket by any means. IT is interesting to known that free wool is of benefit to somebody. The monthly circular of Messrs. Goldsbrough, Mort & Co., issued at Melbourne, June 24, said : The present position of the wool markot is oertainly promising, and the indications are all in favor of an improvement in values for tlie ensuinfj; soason. (General activity is reported in manufacturing districts of Euro))cand America and a good doniand lor wool prevalía, while tlie production of the last and the ensuing Australasian clip point to a very moderate incruase in supplies. The American demand promises to be very jirominent during tlje ensuing Australian season. An increased quanity has been parchase 1 en their account during the recent London sales and our American correspondente anticípate thatalarge buBiness may Ijc expected in direct iinportations. Mu. Cleveland ha considerad scveral meana for augmenting the linancial returns, among which in the lieer tax. The natural way for the reeovery of the reeeipts is a TarilT that wiU produce sutticient sums to replenish the Treasury. That Taritï eannot be too oon reestalilished. The treasury is paying the price of the loss of V'rotection. Protection to American industries is, from _-xerie!ice, Likewlse l'rotoetion to the nation's tinancos. A reasonable Tarirt is the only solution of the disastrous problem brought on by the obstinato onforcement of Mr. Cleveland"s theories. frotection is an issue that eannot be dodged. lts suspension has deinonstrated its net'essity to the Government as well as to onterprises and to the peoplo. - Daily Saratogian, Saratoga. N. Y. It U entirely probable that the next decade will see the emancipation of the horse froin labor in our cities. The few that will remain will be of fine stock, owned and used by the rich for pleasure A fuw years ago thousands ot horses werc otnployed in every large city on the sU'oot railway Unes. The ititroduetion of the cable and trolly loft the over-worked car horse wltb hs oecupation gone, ane he was shipped to the country to end his days in asalstlnji to till the soil. The rapidly growing popularity of tho bleycle is still further displacing the citv horse. ilany persons who owned saddle horses have sold them and bought blcyclea in their atead. Persons who formerly pationized liverymen now rent wheels. and the liverymen are now cotnplaining that their business is being nauch interfered with and lessened. And now comes the promise of ncw eléctrica! and petroleum motors suitable for propellinjr carriages, drays, dclivery wagons, etc, at asraall cost, less than the feed of the e, until it seems possible that zoo Logioal gardena of the noxt century will contain the horse alou;' with the bear, giraffe, elephant and kangaroo, as rare and curious animáis. A century ugo the man who desired to travel could only do so by means of his own legs or those of his horse. Today he may travel around the world without exerting tila muscles or calling to his aid the strength nf man's foor-footed friend. - Ex. ________ Thk explosión of the boilers in the Gumry hotel in Denver iast week which resulted in the death of at least twentyfive people, and the collapse of a large partially constructed building in New York the week before in whioh a number of men vore killed, may prove important factors in the cause of prohi bition. The first was undoubtedly due to the negiect of adrunken engineer. The second, it is claimed, was due to a mistake ofsome ignorant workmen made whilo the supervising architect was intoxicated. These two catastrophies, both of which it is claimed were due to the use of intoxicants, have given rise to an agitation which is sure to grow in both Colorado and New York urging that the state adopt the same policy that all the great railroad corporations have adopted, and pass stringent laws prohibiting a man from holding a position wherein danger to others would result ft-om neglect which the use of liquor is sure to cause. If this principie once se cures a foothold it would not be long before the advantages of its'adoption would be so apparent in so many ways, that its applieation will be wideíy extended. It is not at all vain imagination to say that it is possible to carry BUOh a thingso far that there would be too few people loft of those who patronize saloons to enable any of the latter to pay expenses. One of the peculiar fea tures about such a movement would be that it would be almost certain to fine lts strongest support among a class o business men who today would feol in sulted were they classed as prohibition ists. ______
