A POLITICAL RIOT.
A Free Flourish of Revolvers and -Four Men
Shot.

New ORLEANS, Dec. PA dispatch from
Greenville, Miss, gives the following partic-
ulars of a trouble there on the 10th inst:
Considerable excitement has prevailed
for a month on account of the NUM-
cipal election. J. A. Lelander and Shaw
headed two tickets for the mayoralty. On
Saturday the saloons were made a rendezvous
for the followers of the candidates. Money
was spent literally and passions aroused
to fever heat by drink. In the evening
the Shaw faction held a meeting at
the dock in Jones's dance-house. In the
midst of the proceedings a melee occurred
between a colored man and Frank Montgom-
cry (white) Pistols were drawn and shoot
ing commenced. Sam Finlay (white) was
seriously njured and three negroes shot;
one named Harmer killed outright, one ex-
pected to die, and another slightly wounded.
The shooting created the bitterest
feeling, and during the entire night and
yesterday morning there were apprehensions
of more trouble. The coroner's jury found
that Harmer was killed by Montgomery and
Findlay. The occurrence had the effect
of bringing all to a comprehension of
the dangerous state of affairs engendered.
Finally the best citizens came together, and
a compromise was effected, both candidates
withdrawing in favor of Major Bucks. This
action has given satisfaction, and peace and
order are restored

Proposal to Apply Bismarclx's Rule to

Proposal to Apply Bismarci's Rule to
Imports from Germany.
WASHINGTON, Dec 12.-The following is the
text of joint resolution introduced by Rep
resentative Townshend in regard to the ac-
ton of Germany concerning American hog
products:
"Whereas, The government of the German
Empire has seen fit TO prohibit the importation
of American hog products upon the assumption
that they are deieterlons to the public health;
Whereas. Said government of the German
Empire has declined an invitation to SEND its
own experts to this country for the purpose OF
examining the quality and manner OF market
ing hog products; and
"Whereas It appears from the proceedings of
said government that the same has. claims TO
have, full authority to prohibit the importation
of any foreign goods by 1t believed 10 be in
jurioHs to health without the assent OF the Reich
stag therefore be it
Resolved, By the Senate and House of Rep
resent atives, that the President be and is here
by aut horned, during the recess OF Congress, to
prohibit the Importation of any goods, which
upon advice of experts he shall hold to be ill.,
jlirious to health, from those countries which
upon the same ground they prohibit the i'm
portatiCG of American products"
Frank H. Mason, United States consul at
Basic, Switzerland, asserts, and supports the
the assertion by proof, that not only does the
government OF Germany prohibit the impor-
tation of American pork for sale and con-
bids the transit of American hog products
through Its territory to other countries,
even in sealed cars. The real object of the
prohibitory regulations is not to guard the
people of Germany from the danger arising
from the consumption of diseased meats, but
to protect German dealers in hog products
from American competition.
European statesmen shrink from the clamor
which would meet an avowed measure to tax
the food of the people, and so invent the
theory that American meats are diseased and
dangerous and impose prohibitory tariff in
the form OF an edict of absolute prohibition
based upon sanitary grounds. The peasants
and artisans are thereby made to pay fifteen
to twenty centimes more per pound for the
meat they eat than if American pork were
admitted freely, but are told this discreet
mandate, which robs their pockets, has been
wisely devised by the paternal government,
which is an1iously solicitious about their
health.
Mason says that in Switzerland, almost the
only continental country to which American
meats are permitted to be imported and sold
on their merits, their reputation is not only
higher now than ever before, but command
preference in the market

A Denial of the Charges.

Washington Special to St. Louis Globe Democrat
On inquiry at the Interior Department, it
was found that so far as the department is
concerned there is not word of truth in the
charges Commissioner Price pronounces
them, so far as he is concerned, UNANIMOUSLY
false. Some months ago a syndicate applied
TO Secretary Teller for his approval of a con-
tract with the Indians for lease of their
lands for grazing purposes. Secretary Teller
refused 20 approve the agreement. At the
same time he did not object to it's being
made. 1t is his policy, where treaty stipula-
tons do not interfere, TO simply acquiesce in
any agreement the Indians may wish to
make when he believes such agreement will
be to their advantage. But he will protect
the Indians AGAINST the entertainments of
outsiders, and will always give preference to
those who have contracts with them. The
department has not, however. officially sane
toned any of these contracts, but whenever
they are believed to be beneficial to the Indi-
ans they are not disapproved. AS to any
corrupt collision on the part of the Indian
Bureau with them, Commissioner Price says
there is no foundation whatever for the
charge The department approves contracts
Of this nature.

THE MORMON SYSTEM.
Views of Citizen OF Salt LaIs as to the
Condition of Utah.

CHICAGO Dec 1.-THE Daily News will
publish Salt Lake, Utah, special, contain
ing an interview with leading citizen.
He says the Mormons regard the reference
to polygamy in the Presidents message as a
menace to their political power, their theo-
cratic control of the Territory; that their
interests are too great for them to emigrate;
that they recognize the fact that the
people of the United States wrongly
regard poIygamy as the only legal
objection to Mormonism, Whereas the fact
is polygamy is simply an ugly feature the
real trouble being the Mormon priesthood's
assumption of divine right to rule; that
they recognize the TACT that their whole sys-
TEN is jeopardized if they retain polygamy;
whereas, with that feature abolished,
they are likely 10 have an indefinite
lease of life for Mormon the
ocracy. The present Legislature, though
made of homogeneous Mormons,
is yet thoroughly the creature of the church.
It is probable, therefore, that while the
church will keep up a sham show of opposi-
ton it will instruct the Legislature to pass
a law making polysamy a crime. and, the
Territory thus purged of the only wrong
known to the general public. will apply for
admission as State, with good prospects of
getting in. giving the priesthood proportion
ately increased power

SALT LAKE CITY. Dec. 12.-The Deseret
News (Mormon) this evening, commencing
Delegate Cainess bill for the admission of
Utah, says
The bill introduced by our delegate, if
Congress is in a proper frame of mind to
consider it justly, would be one of the
wisest measures that could be adopted.
1t would take from the issues of the times
one of the most troublesome national diff
cultes, made so by the folly of
agitators and weak legislation. The
admission of Utah would relieve
the government of the supposed
necessity OF graphing with perplexip prob
lem that belongs to the domestic affairs of
State rather than the general SUI
pervision of federal authority. The
question of polygaIny cuts no figure in
the admission of Utah. and as IL is not recog-
nized in the constitution, it would form no
part of State politics. We have no idea
that either of the bills referred to will pass,
but the mention of them shows what they
are and the bearing they have upon local
affairs. The Republicans will not
do anything which could be construed into
benefit for Utah, because hostility to tine
Mormons is one of the chief articles
of their political stock; the Democrats dare
not for fear of being twitted with the ter
rible but absurd accusation of utilization
with Mormons and pandering to poiygamy.

FOREIGN MISCELLANY.
Cons titutiOnal Reforms Proposed in the
Speech from the Throne

Speech from the Throne.
MADRID Dec 1.-THE ministerial council
has approved the draft of the royal speech
to be delivered at the opening of the Cortes.
1t is reported that the speech announces
the extension of suffrage to all who read,
write and who pay taxes, and with view
to its further extension mentions possible
reforms of the constitution for discussion
by future Cortes. 1t proposes bills for
civil marriages and jury trial; declares the
relations of Spain with all foreign powers
friendly; that the dispute with France rela-
tive to the treatment of Alfonso in Paris
has been satisfactorily arranged, the rela-
tions now existing between the countries
being friendly. Spain, it says, will eBdeavor
to increase cordially with France if possible.
1t is believed Sagasta will accept the speech,
thus reconciiing the existing majority in
the Cortes with the dynasty, and avoiding a
split in the Liberal party. Conservative
organs denounce the commercial agreement
with England, and claim its provisions are
injurious to Spanish interests.

tary of the Treasury for copies of all vouch-
ers and items of expense of special or assist
ant attorneys and detectives, with the names
of parties. since March IA, 1881, except such
period as has been covered by information
already furnished the Senate
The Senate took up the resolution offered
yesterday by Mr. Beck directing the Secre-
tary of the Treasury to furnish information
concerning the sinking fund, ETC., and Mr.
Beck addressed the Senate. He said: 1t is
perfectly apparent that the request of the
Secretary of the Treasury, made in recent
report, to keep up taxation beyond the
wants of the government SO that at least
$4,000 900 may be applied to a sinking fund,
ought not to be complied with. His own re-
s,urt seems to furnish a basis for the statement
that when information is asked for it is pre-

states wants us to say, that there is no neces-

Rotary recommends, but ought to allow the
