HOG Products.

The hog faisefS and packers OF this
country need not be especially alarmed
about the order of the German Govern
ment prohibiting the Importation of
American hog products. A correspon-
dent of the Chicago Journal called on
the Hon. Joseph Nimmo, the faithful
and obliging Chief of the Bureau of Sta
tistics. few days ago, to ask the
probable effect of the order upon this
industry, and the trade which grows out
of it.
.'They need not 'squeal, - he said,
with laugh, ''they are not very badly
hurt. :"
Reaching down TO case beside him,
he took up avolume of figures, showing
the expectations of this country last
year, and running his finger down the
tables, commented on them. Here s
bacon" he said. ''let's see. We sent
abroad 42S, 100000 pounds of bacon last
year. OF this quantity less than $780,
600 pounds went to Germany. That
doesn't look much like breaking up
the-pork business of the country, does
it?''
mot very much; but haven't YOU.
some more figures there?n
Eyes, but they tell about the same
story. Take hams; we exported about
forty million pounds of them last year..
and of that quantity less than half
million pounds went to Germany. OF
pork we exported over eighty million
pounds, and out of this little over one
million went to Germany
Where does it all go, then, 1Ir.
Nimmo, If so small portion goes to one
of the largest countries of Europe?'
Everywhere, " he replied, passing the
hob 90 e.,
yourself
The list was q long one-sixty- EIGHT
countries, islands and colonies, in every
part of the commercial world, and of
sixty-eight, over sixty last year bought
American hog products of some sort.
The expectation of American pork in
the three forms bacon" ''pork,"
CHAINS was over 56S, 900, 900 pounds,
and out of that Quantity, less than
5, 900, GOO went To Germany. France
which has also been making remarks
about the American hog, did little bet
ter, as the amount sent there last year
was less than 5000. 900 pounds.
80" said Mr.. Nimmo. after he had
reviewed the situation, II don't think
the prohibition of American pork by
Germany need be considered a very
serious affair, though of course it is to be
regretted, both from the standpoint OF
direct loss of its trade and its effects on
other countries which now take our hog
products freely
The table shows that England is by
far the largest buyer of this article,
followed in order by Scotland. Belgium
and the West India Islands. OF lard,
Germany takes large quantities, but up
to this time there is no proof that the
decree includes that article. On the
contrary, the cable dispatch specifically
mentions ''sides, bacon and sausages,f -
emitting TO mention lard; thus giving
reason to hope that that article was
omitted. Should it be included the blow
would be more severe, for out of the
250, 900, 900 pounds of lard exported last
year Germany took $4,000, 600.

Concerning the shooting down of poor
pigeons thrown helpless into the air
from a trap. the London Lancet has this
to say: I'VE have put down cock
fighting, although the cock undoubtedly
gratified its natural instinct in the
sport. Even the pugnacious rat is pro-
tected; but the poor, defenseless pigeon
and the equally defenseless deer may be
mangled and worried for the pleasure
of benevolent men with entire impunity.
When will the eanting spirit of this
sentimental age begin to give proof of
little consistency and common sense?
The scientist must not infiict pain even
TO elicit ways of cure from nature; but
the bitterest agony may. be ruthlessly
inflicted on dumb animals so that it be
done under the guise of sport. -

have called conventions, for that purpose,
we cannot see the use of another. We

Emigrant travel upon the Northern
Pacific during the past few days has been
large, the average number of daily
through passengers of this class Of trav-
elers being from fifty to sixty. These
are all domestic emigrants, and are Of a
good, steady class. These are principal
ly heads Of families, possessed of some
little means, who are emigrating to the
other side of the Rocky Mountain ridge.
Regular emigrant sleepers are attached
to Train No. ,, leaving st. Paul at Sis

of this class of travelling is done.
