TnE American Minister at Berlin was no
sooner set upon by the German press Tor
his position on the pork question, than nu-
msrous Democratic newspapers thought ita
good time to kick him while their German
cotemporaries held him down. Mr.. Sargent
has not been able to do anything in the
premises, and be has not said more to his
government than he ought to have said. It
Is well understood in Germany that
American pork was warned offthe premises,
not because 1t is diseased, but because 1t
comes in competition with the Ger
man article. The Imperial govern.
nent might have prohibited the Inn
portation OF American swine flesh
as matter of protection, and we could
have found no fault. But 1t chose to utter
what II knew to be false and to give our
swine bad name before the world. This
We object to, and this Is what our Govern
meut may think 1t well to resent. Congress
would not find Il difficult to find q Ger
man article to get even Oh, and tit for tat
might bring our German friends to their
senses. It Is some consolation to know
that the prohibition will not prohibit en-
tirely. Euslish pork is not under the ban,
and great deal Of American pork goes to
England. There Is, therefore, nothing to
prevent our excellent swine 1ssh from go
ing on German tables. But the offensive
intent remains, aud the roundabout way
Of getting to the German market 10 incon-
venient, Minister Sargent % sound on the
pork question.

YOUNGSTOWN, o., April S0.-The coal
operators Of Mahoning Valley held a
meeting this afternoon, and alter lengthy
consultation decided not to demand q
reduction in the price Of mining. They
say that even at the proposed reduc.
ton Of ten cents per ton, they would
be unable to give the miners steady
work, as there is little or no
demand for coal, and it would be injustice
to the miners who have been idle most,o
the winter to demand reduction and
then fail 10 give steady employment. The
almost unanimous opinion o. the operators
is that miners are getting as low a price as
is consistent, taking into account the
prices Of the neeessarles Of life. This
decision by the operators stop all talk Of q
strike in this valley among coal miners.
But the outlook for steady employment Is
disheartening. The Church Hill mine, one
Of the largest in the valley, will open to-
morrow alter an idleness Of six months.

WAsntyoroN, April S0.-A decision was
rendered by the Supreme Court Of the
United States to day in the case Of the
Parkersburg & Ohio River Transportation
Company, appellant, against the. city oil
Parkerburg, w. Va, and others. This
case, which Is one Of considerable import.
ance to all cities and towns along the Ohio
and Mississippi rivers, arises out of the fol.
lowing state of facts: The city OF Parkers.
burg, W. Va, built a wharf and established
certain rates Of Wharfage which the
Parkersburg & Ohio River Transportation
Company complained Of as extortio.
nate, and ss being merely q
pretext for levying q duty on
tonnage. The company thereupon filed
q bill in the Circnit Court OF the United
States to restrain proceedings in the suit
brought in the State Court for the purpose
Of collecting Wharfage and to have the
wharfage ordinance declared illegal and
yoid. This Court holds first, that as the
ordinance on It's face imposed charges for
wharfage only (though these charges might
be unreasonable and exorbitant) the COur}
will not entertain an ayowment that they
were in reality not intended as wharfage
but as duty on tonnage. An inquiry in.
to the secret intent OF the body which I'M.
paired the charge is inadmissable.
Whether 1t Is one thing or the other must
be determined by the ordinance on the
regulation itself. a
Second, that wharfage is a charge for the
use Of wharf made by the owner thereof
by way OF rent or compensation, while a
duty on tonnage Is tax. or duty charged
for the privilege Of entering or trading or
lying in port and harbor, and can be Inn
posed only by the Government.
Third, that whether the charge Is wharf
age or aidnty on tonnage is aquestion not
OF intent buta fact Of law.
Fourth, that although wharves are re.
lated TO commerce and navigation as aids
and conveniences, yet being local in their
nature, and requiring special regulations
for. particular places, the control OF them lin
the absence Of congressional legislation
on the subject) belongs to the States in
which they are situated.
Fifth,,that the suit will not lie in the
Circuit Court OF the United States, fot
relief against exhorbitant wharfage as a
case arising under the constitution or laws
Of the United States, even though 1t be al.
legged that the. wharfage was intended as
duty on tonnage, .s
The decree Of the court belowIin favor
OF the City OF Parkersburg Is, therefore,
affirmed. Opinion by Justice Bradley,
Justice Harlan dissenting.

/ PulLADElralA, April S0-An old colored
woman was sewing by the light fan oil
lamp in the front room Of ssmall house on
Centre street, near Ely, Germantown, last
evening. There was something decidedly
wonderful In this fact, commonplace as 1t
might at first appear. The woman, Mrs.
Harriet Holmes, who is 80 years old, was
blind from her birth until three weeks ago.
Dr.. L. W. Fox, one otSthe surgeons at
the hospital, was attracted by The peculiar.
ity in the formation OF her eyes, and made
an examination, which convinced him that
her sight might be restored. The old wo.
mans consent to an operation was not OBJ
tained without difficulty, as she said that
she was "dreadfully afraid Of dem cutten
doctors"
She, however, found the operation quite
painful. Her eyes were bandaged for eight
days, and she was confined in very dark
room for several days afterwards. When
the bandsges were taken off she was aston
ished. Although the room was dark, she
couldlsee objects several feet distant, bu.
quite indistinctly, or "all mixed up" as
she afterwards declared.
DR.. Fox was delighted at the success oil
the operation, which consisted in the re-
moyai OF q cataract from the left eye by
what Is known as "Grarbi's method, and
awaited with great interest the arrival OF
the time when his subject could be taken
into the light. AT last she was removed TO
one OF tho wards OF the hospital which
looked upon the street, and the bandage
was removed.
The patient started violently, and cried
out as II with fear, and for moment was
quite nervous from the effects Of the shock.
For the first time in her life she looked
apon the earth. The first thing she no.
tced was little flock Of sparrows. In
relating her experience TO reporter last
night she said that she thought they were
tea cups, although, strange to say, few
afterward she readily distin'
guished watch which was shown her. 1t
Is supposed that this recognition was owing
to the fact that she heard its ticking and at
once associated the two together.

WASHINGTON, April 30-A gentleman
prominently connected with the project for
the erection Of a monument to General
Garfield rays: "The matter will probably
be decideaat the coming meeting Of the
Society. Of the Army Of the Cumberland,
which takes place within the next few
weeks. He says that there las already
been raised $4,000. and the balance OF the
$4,000 needed will probably be raised
among the members Of the society at its
meeting. Congress will be asked to ap-
pfopriate money enough to purchase the
pedestal and pay the expense. OF erecting
the monument 1t will. be located upon
one OF the government reservations in
Washington, and, in contradistinc,ion to
the military character Of monuments in
this city, will represent Garfield as a
civilian. 1t has been proposed to erect the
monument upon the reservation back Of
the White House, but that has not been
determined upon"
The same gentleman said $1,000 had
been realized out OF the fair at the Capitol
last November, but more would have been
raised but for the bitter jealousy OF certain
people and the cold water thrown upon the
scheme by Others.

PrrrsBuRoH, April S0.-The miners
strike ordered at the Convention Of the
2llh will begin tomorrow, and according to
Secretary Flannery all the railroad pits will
come out as ordered. Thapeculiarity in
this strike is found in the fact that for
over q week the miners concerned have
been digging at the rate against which
they strike tomorrow. The pressure
brought 10 bear on the non.strikers during
last week has been great, and II the strike
Is not OF long duration 1t is generally con.
ceded that It will be general in railroad
mines. Operators are reticent and dis.
cined 10 speak their intentions. One
leading gentleman in the coal business
stated this afternoon that certain mines on
the Panhandle would take no part In the
strike, but he declined to give their names.
Another operator said that local contracts
would BIZ filed from river pits, and that 1t
would be impossible to fill western or lake
contracts with mining at 8! cents. The
actual miners concerned in this strike are
about 1000 but this number Is increased 10
5000 when other laborers are included.
