Curious Importation 10 This Conptr,
From Europe.
Opposition OF the Foreign Pauper Hens
TO the Unprotected Fowls of
America.

Correspondence 81. Louis PostDlspatchJ
Washington, October 27.--The fact
that 10000 dozen of eggs formed. n
part OF the cargo of the steamer Her
medel, which took fire the other dnv
on It's way To this country from Copen-
hagen, suggests some observations 10.
gardinga curious class OF articles I'm.
ported into this country. 1t certainly
seems little odd that this country
with its large agricultural population,
should have to go TO Copenhagen. or
indeed TO any other point outside this
country for eggs, yet n statement re.
Gently published by Chief Nimmo of
the bureau of statistics of the treasury,
shows that there was imported to this
country last year noless than Is, 900, 900
eggs. More than that, the reports Of the
past years importations show that
this Is not spasmodic movement OF
commerce, but that the egg trade from
abroad has been u fact for some years.
and has grown so rapidly since its in
auguratton that the hens of the coun-
try ought to be startled over it, In the
calendar year of 1881 the number of
eggs imported was ll0,000,0OO. In
1852 it was l40,e90,000, III the past
year Isl 0O0, 900, and in the present
year will probably exceed 100000, 900,
with value of 50 100000 Eggs are
on the free list. win not some tariff
rooster, seeing that our people pay out
~, 200, 900 year to support the pauper
hen labor of Europe, rise in his place
in the house during the next session
and propose tariff on eggs?
TT is a LITTLE CURIOUS, TOO,
in this country of free beer, and where
millions of dollars are invested in
breweries and beer making appliances,
to see that the importations of beer are
Sl,0OO,0O0 II year. The value of the
malt liquors imported at the various
ports of this country during the past
year was over ) 800, 900. The export
atiOns of wheat Were Sl20,u00 ,O00
last year, and yet there Were
imported during that same yeaI
no less than million dollars
worth of wheat and some thou
sands of barrels OF flour. Another cu-
rious feature of this report is the fact
which shows that there were over fom
million dollars worth of buttons I'M
ported into this country last year, and
nearly as many in the preceding
year That which is perhaps the most
astonishing in this line was referred
to in this correspondence few days
since, that while this country raises
cotton for the world, making it her
principal export, and while she
has the best machinery
and best water power In
| the world for manufacturing purposes,
the value of cotton goods imported, in
| the face of n high tariff, amounts to
more than $36 900, 900 per year, while
that of wool and wooden articles
amounts to more than 80 per cent. in
excess of that. OF common salt, al
| though we have salt mines and u tariff
to protect them, we import billion
pounds year, an average of twenty
pounds for every man, woman and
child in the country. In the past two
years there have been over ten million
bushels of potatoes imported into this
country.

ISN'T the organ sorry that the majority of
tho state central committee of the Virginia
democracy turned Gen. Mahone's friends out
of that committee because they fought for
the state against the funder robbers?
Wasn't it foolish for Barnum, tho chairman
of the national democratic committee, to is
sue orders to all Virginia democrats to vote
the bourbon -funder electoral ticket in 1880,
and to excommunicate all readj listers who
claimed to be democrats?
Wasn't it silly when Malone was being
elected to the senate in the Virginia legisla'
ture for the bourbon members to denounce
him as republican,
And isn't it still more silly for them to
claim after that that he was elected as a
democrat?
And if the Washington organ could bC
ashamed of anything, wouldn't it be ashamed
to palm Off on its readers such trash as that
of yesterday headed Tho Malone Bar.
gain?
The national democratic party had 1T
choice between the funders and the read
iusters and declared for tho flnders. From
that day tho readjusters have TO man beer
opposed to that party. And so they will con
tinue. And they are satisfied with thei
company. And there was no bargain.

election has not had the effect in Virginia
hoped for by tho democrats and bourbon
hirelings of tho north. 1t has only nerved
the roadjustors to stoadior and moro energetic
work. Their courage is always at the stick
ing place, and, therefore, they know no
such word as fail. Basing the prediction
upon private information, received directly
from tho coalition leaders in Virginia, and,
upon reasons given by them, we do not
hesitate to assure our readers that on the
sixth of November Virginia will rebuke the
bourbon party of that state for tho fourth time
by q stinging defeat. Both branches OF the
legislature will be anti-bourbon, and the
aggregate popular majority given the liberal
candidates will be such as to absolutely
destroy all hopo of the bourbon democracy
for the states electoral vote in 1884. Then
will commence tho turning of the political
tide, and Virginia will have saved thecoun-
try from the dangers of bourbon restora-
tlon in as heroic a struggle as that in which

over been known in the political history of
the United States" This sander was uttered
in the senate at the time of Gen. Mahone's
defiance of the bourbon caucus decrces, and
was by him and by republican senators
branded as a vile falsehood. Then it became
incumbent on thesenators to make good their
charge or ever after to hold their peace. They
held their place. The reiteration of the ex.
ploded calumny is but an exhibition of impo-
tent wrath. 1t was Gen. Mahone's Independent
action in ISL that gave the senate an anti
bourbon majority. 1t will be his indepen-
dent action and that of his colleague that

Report OF Superintendent OF Yellowstone
Park.

P. II. Conger, superintendent of the yell
lowstone National park, has forwarded to
Secretary Teller his annual report He states
that the published accounts of the wholesale
slaughter of game in the park last winter
were greatly exaggerated, and that since his
arrival hunting has been practically sus-
pended. He finds fault with the law provd-
ing for the appointment of assistant superin-
tendents, upon the ground that the allowance
for salaries is too meager when the fact that
the mon will have to build their own quar-
tiers is taken into consideration. He also
thinks that the law dividing the responsibility
for the care of the park is upwise, and hopes
that it will be so amended by congress as to
provide for only one head.
The Hatch hotel is reported to be very
commodious, and designed to be first class.
1t is rapidly nearing completion.
Tho superintendent expresses regret that
there is no law for tho protection of persons
and property in the park, and says that this
absence of legal restraint is taken advantage
of by the vicious aud criminal class in the
neighborhood Numbers of men of doubtful
character overrun the park during the sum-
mer, and tho attention of congress is called
to the subject. The number of visitors to the
park during the past season was larger than
in any previous year, and included the Pres
ident, Secretary Lincoln, Gems. Sherman,
and Sheridan, and other distinguished per-
| sons.

hypocrisy.

THE best informed and most sagacious
democratic politicians SEQ clearly that it is
going to require great deal of hard work to
defeat Ben Butler in tho democratic national
convention, if, indeed, 1t can be done at all.
And even if he could bo beaten there many
will agreo that it would so disafiect the
workingmen and the Irish friends of tho
general that it would split the democratic
party and defeat it, as was done in 1860.
Butler is likely to be tho nominee.
National Republican., 1883-10-26

THE republican committees have never
issued assessment circulars nor made an as
sessment on Office holders. They have never
done any more than to solicit contributions,
which it was right and proper for them to
do, and which they are doing this year, in strict
conformity with the civil service reform law,
and with the expressed approval of tho leading
