The interdict which the German gov
ernmcnt has placed upon the importa-
ton of American pork appears to have
caused great alarm among large class
of German manufacturers, who fear that
the American government will adopt
some damaging measures in reprIsal.
There is especially q report current in
the German papers that an import duty
of sixty per cent ad valorem is to be
placed upon German stockings and
wooden knit goods, the manufacture of
which is an important industry in Ger
many. During the year 1892 wares of
this description TO the amount of over
100000 were exported from the dis
trlct of DhemnitZ alone to the United
States. Whole villages are occupied al
most exclusively with their manufac-
ture 1t is feared tina. as Germany is
the only country prohibiting American
pork, which is admitted without ques-
ton to all other countries, this expected
tax of sixty per cent. upon imported
knit goods will be imposed only upon
such wares as are of German manufac-
ture, thereby rendering competition in
the American market with similar goods
of Swiss or English manufacture utterly
impossible in the future. Competition
IN these fabrics between the English and
German manufacturers is very keen,
and such tax would destroy the Amer
lean market for the German factories
entirely. 1t would have disastrous ef.
feet in Germany, creating havoc in some
districts of the country, and reducing
whole communities TO destitutiOn. Ger
man newspapers inform their readers
that the American congress will con-
vene in the fall, and to that time and to
the measures that congress will adopt
they look forward with anxiety.

an EXPLANATION DEMANDED.
Topeka Commonwealth: Weprotest.
In an associate press dispatch, sent out
from Wichita, Wednesday, concerning
the immense corn crop of that county,
the press agent cody informs US that
should the ears be placed end to end
they would reach all the way from
Wichita to Cairo, Egypt, via. London.
In the Wichita Eagle, of Thursday (the
editor of the Eagle is the associate press
AGENT, the statement is made that the
ears laid end to end would reach from
Wichita to London. This is imposing
on the credulity of the public. If the
Eagle Palingenesis man says Egypt, aud
sticks to it, we are forced TO believe him
as there could be no object in lying
about eight or ten thousand miles; but
as he says Cairo in the dispatches, and
London in his paper, we must protest
We swallowed the 107 bushels to the
acre oats story, the 135 pound catfish
yarn with some misgivings, to be sure,
and are trying to bolt the ITO bushel corn
lie, but we can't get over the slight dis,
crepancy between London and Cairo.
Everybody believes that Scdgwick coun-
ty will harvest nine millions bushels of
corn this fall, because the Eagle says so;
and no one disputes that after the crop
is gathered rail fence forty-seven feet
high will have to be built around the
entire county 70 furnish crib room,
leaving over million bushels to be piled
up in adjoining counties, but 10 say that
even the stalks upon which the corn is
grown, if put end to end, would reach to
the land where Joseph went to
get something to cat, is spread
ing 1t on rather too thick. As the poet
of tho Nile of America truly says:
Fades the dream OF Old Egypt's stream with
ages hoary-
Pales the charm OF Airica's wonderful
story
In the presence OF QIivaFi's lonely story,
And shadoWless Genesis"
"FOr DER this regal tide-which, unknown TO
classic song,
Since Time was born. in dull neglect has
rolled along
The Atar Of empire beckOns a happy thongs
Kansas Palingenesis.'
Sentiment in poetry is q good thing,
but poetic license in corn crop figures is
not allowable under any circumstances
If the editor of the Eagle desires to sus
tain his reputation for truth and veracity
in the matter of corn crop statistics, he
must elucidate theenvironment.
