the government, which he declared was the

The North German Gazette, in its issue
of the 10th, attempts to prove by statistics
that the danger OF contracting trichinosis
from American pork is sixty times greater
than it is from German pork, and refers to
the latest reports of sanitary officers at
Chicago, Erie and Boston, and the publica-
tions in the New York Medical Journal to
prove the correctness of its statements.
The Gazette declares that an inspection of
pork on its arrival at German ports has
proved useless. 1t says that the quantity
of American pork consumed in Germany is
small, and is decreasing, and that the ques-
tion, therefore, is not of economic impor-
tance. s'''.t-

lean has been misled by the specious men,
dacity which has availed itself of the mon
strous ignorance of Irish affairs prevailing
at Rome. He characterizes Errington, who

crime fostered by England's enforcement
of the infamous land code.

examination, during which he mentioned
