Herman Raster and p. ID. Armour on the
Prohibition of Its importation Into Ger
many-Retaliation the Only Remedy.
CHICAGO, May BIN an interview to-day
upon the pending controversy over the
importation of pork into Germany, and
the action taken by Minister Sargent, Her
man Raster, editor of the Stats Zeitung,
Que of the oldest and most influential jour
nails of its class in the country, contends
that the action of the German government
Is due solely to the failure of the American
congress to guard against such a move.
He states a few weeks before congress
adjourned he had a certain resolution in
troduceA to the effect that the president
should be empowered in case a foreign
country prohibited the importation of
American products before the meeting OF
the next congress, to Tetaliate by prohibi-
ting the importation of products of that
country, but congress adjourned without
taking action. The mere threat OF retail
alton would have been sufficient to have
prevented any such law being thought OF,
said the gentleman.
''You are ia favor of retaliation then?"
81 am III favor OF retaliation on all Ger
man imports if necessary. do not con-
slider that any protest, even, is necessary.
1t would be sufficient for the government
to say you have prohibited the importa
ton OF our pork; now We are going to re-
taliate by prohibiting the importation of
all your exports. But if a pretext is
wanted, it is not necessary to institute any
investigation. Their own courts furnish
evidence enough, that some Of their wine
is aduItereted, and that would be sufficient
warrant for the prohibition of it. look
upon their action as an insult to this
country"
The gentleman asserts that the German
government sent commissioners here to
find ont how American swine were killed,
and without waiting for report, adopted
measures clearly showing pretext only
was desired. He did not know what effect
retaliation would have now, but believed
in trying it in any event. He finally de-
clared that if the president or congress
would take stand against the German
government, it would receive the sanction
of the entire American nation, including
practically every Communication in the
land, among whom the sentiment was gen
eral that Bismarck does not rule this coun-
try, and should have the fact demonstrated
to him in an unmistakable way.
Philip D. Armour, one of the most extern
sive packers in the west, asserts that the
prohibition of American pork by Ger
many, has barely a visible effect upon
trade in comparison with other foreign
shipments, but he expresses the hope that
the United States will adopt retaliatory
measures, as the policy of the German
government is manifestly arbitrary, and

LSpringfeld Mass Republican.
Some of our citizens are becoming inter
ested in certain portions of the west,
and it is likely that several will go to
Fargo, jamestown or the Devils lake re
gion in Dakota this spring. Others intend
to invest some of their surplus capital in
city lots, farming lands and other real
estate in the land of promise. A few ex-
tracts from private letter from Fargo
will be read with interest: ''From an In
dian encampment eight years ago to a
city of 10000 inhabitants at present with
prospect of 10000 before January, 1884;
with two lines of railway beiLg pushed to
make connection with three great Chicago
lines; with hundreds of stores and
dwellings in process of construction and
under contract for this season; with our
streets already filled with strangers and
hundreds pouring IN on every train bring
ing money for investment and speculation,
the future of Fargo seems bright indeed.
1t is predicted that the largest wheat crop
ever harvested will be raised in the Red
river valley this year, and from discourage
ing outlooks in other states and in Europe
we shall probably obtain fair prices. This
will be likely to cause the greatest boom
in real estate ever seen here. Over $3.50,
coo in real estate changed hands last week,
a large part being ely property. Build
ing operations will be carried on here to a
greater extent than ever before, and we are
bound to grow"

Springfield Mass Republican.
Some newspaper readers have been puz-
zled to know why ex-senator William A.
Wallace, prominent Pennsylvania Demo-
cratic politician, is often dubbed &" Coffee
Pot' Wallace by Republican journals. AS
prelude to the Democratic campaign of
1868 Pennsylvania saw some closely con-
tested elections, and both sides undoubted-
~ employed base means to get votes. The
grossest example of this was the use of
fraudulent naturalization papers in 1867,
by which gang of seventy railroad hands
were taken from Clearfeld County into
Center County just before election, lille
gally assessed, and their votes counted.
Wallace, as Chairman of the State Central
Committee, was charged with putting up
this job, and it was even alleged that to
make the false naturalization papers used
more deceptive, he stained them in a
coffee-pot to lend an appearance of age.

Abducted i2s PcrSln.

Persian Letter to the London Daily News
An outrage has been committed at Baku
which bids fair to become the subject of
lively diplomatic correspondence between
Russia and Persia. The following are the
particulars of the occurrence so far as l
have been able to learn. In the month of
January last the wife of Finnish Cap
tain in the employ of Nobel, the great pc
troleum firm, went to visit some friends
living on the outskirts of the town. AS she
had not returned home by midnight her
husband started out to escort her home,
but found on reaching the friends house
that his wife had left some two hours pre-
viously. On the following morning the
husband, having vainly searched all night
for his missing wife, gave notice to the
police, and every means were used to dis
cover what had become of the poor oman
so mysteriously spirited away. Two
months passed, and no trace of the miss
ing woman was discovered, to the sorrow
of the husband, who spent the whole of
his time in instituting inquiries in the
hope of at last finding his wife. Quite re-
Gently, however, by some chance the mys-
terry was discovered and the woman traced.
1t would appear that as the woman was
passing through lonely part of the road
home she was suddenly seized by four men
who threw shawl over her head and car
ried her off, as she asterward discovered to
a Persian craft lying at anchor in the har-
Dor. Her captors, who were Persians, at
once set sail for the Persian shore, and the
woman was carried off to Teheran, where
she was lodged, it is said, in royal harem,
and where it is supposed she still remains.
1 understand that this case of abduction
has formed the subject of strong repre-
sentation on the part of the Russian Minis
ter at Terehan, and the immediate sur
render of the woman, who is, of course,
Russian subject, has been demanded. The
woman, who is Swede by birth, possesses
considerable personal attractions, which
no doubt we're the cause of her abduction
by the agents of the Shah, but it must in
short time become the subject of discuss
ion both in Russian society and in the
press, the more so that the relations be-
tween the Government of the Shah and that
of his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of
Russia have not been marked for some
time past by any extreme cordially.

lightning No Rcspeetor of buildings.

b. T. Shlllaber, in the Hartford Post.
A single bolt of lightning-the only one
from the armory of the storm-shattored

Mass, and did other injuries which insur-
ance will cover, it is said, The church
showed wisdom in putting on insurance

his assent to insuring the house which he
attended, because the heavenly powers. ne
held, should look after their own property.
The Boston Post intimates that if thea
ire had been struck church people would
have seen in it plain evidence of proyiden-
tial visitation more than in this instance,
though the church belonged to Il class not
disposed to be bigoted. The Posts re-
mark reminds me of an odd incident. part
of which happened, l think, in the very
town where this church was struck. The
Rev. Bernard Whitman's church was struck
by lightning somewhere about 1880, when
DR.. Lyman Beecher, whose church was in
Hanover street, just below the American
House on the opposite side of the way, in
obliged in little fling at the burned or in
ju~ed church, which was Unitarian, init
mating that the calamity was the express
sion of an offended Providence, visiting
the church for its heresies. In the Winter
of the next year Mr.. Beecher's church, of
rough granite, took fire and was destroyed
when Mr. Whitman wrote Mr.. Beecher a
good natured letter demanding his opin-
ion regarding the destruction of his own
church, and whether he ooald see anything
providential in it. 1t was popular pleas
antry for quite while, and doubtless the
two Reverends INDUCED in many other
wordy hits upon the same subject when
they met, for though the sectarlan line was
drawn more rigidly than now, personally
there was no enmity, and Mr.. Beecher was
proverbial for his geniality. There is
nothing sectarian in lightning, which acts
upon the principle of the Irishman at
Donnybrook fair-whenever it sees a
church it hits, if it desires to, without in
quiry regarding the doctrine taught in it.

entirely extraneous to its platform, and
not included in the principles upon which
it is organized. My individual opinion is
that these are cases which come under the
head of political offenses and England
herself has established precedent which
should govern the United States in dealing
with these cases. Orsini case is an illus
trative one. In these cases it seems as
though much stronger evidence shold be
required than that already made public to

think the government of the United States
should not surrender upon any demand
from England for the extradition of any
man, or any number of men upon the mere
evidence of informers who confess them
selves deliberate perjurers and assasslans.

Capital Punishment in Germany.
Berlin Dispatch ID the London Times.

In connection with the decapitation yes
terday of Conrad. it is pointed out that
this is the tenth execution of the kind since
1878, when Hodel was beheaded under the
Regency of the Crown Prince. The Empe-
ror has always been ayerse to capital pun
ishment, and between 1868 and 1878 no
murderers suffered the extreme penalty of
the law. In the former year, of 81 capital
sentences, only were carried ont. in 1867
only out of 80, in 1865 only out of 30,
in 1865 out Of 80, and in 1854 out of 81.
So that in the period from 1864 to 1868,
of 218 persons condemned to death, only
26 we're executed, while 3 died before exc
cution could be performed, and COM
mitted suicide, the sentences of all the
others being committed by the Emperor
King into penal servitude for life. From
1869 to 1877 inclusive 42S criminals in
Prussia were condemned TO death, and of
these not one was led to the scafold. The
case of the assassin Rodel broke the con-
tinuity of this humane administration of
the law, but in thu same year, 1873, there
were So cases of communication. During the
years 1879 aud 1880 only l capital sen
tence out of IS was executed, while there
were 4 executions in each of the years 1881
and 1852
