A Death Knell to Miss Hill.

San Francisco, April lin the
Sharon divorce case to-day the deposit
ton of FL. M. True, ofSanta Cruz, was
read. During the progress of the trial
Harry Wells, witness for plaintiff, testi-
fed that Sharon had in his presence
introduced Miss Hill to True as Mrs.
Sharon True, who is on his death
bed, deposed that Wells testimony was
a ''put up JOB" between Miss Hill, Wells
and himself. It was arranged that Miss
Hill should testify to that effect and
that be and Wells would confirm it.
He became a party to the arrangement,
believing hecould make money out of it
but being on his death bed he wanted to
tell the whole truth before it was to lase.
He said: IT don't want to gv to the
grave with a lie on-nly lips He said
the counsel for the plaintiff was not a
party TO- arrangement, but that he
was tolN afterwards. Trlle's deposition
created a sensation. He is 81 years old
and his death is momentarily expected.

out Of Castle Garden by agents of steam

place uninhabitable by the vile eders of
filth of person. They finally went on
an early train to Meriden, where they
were sent out of town by the authori-
ties. Another molly crowd of Germans
was ticketed to Meriden a day or tr5o
ago, and the tax payers are indignant

Secretary Frelinghuysen sent a long COM
Munica,ion to Congress, Wednesday, on the
American hog, in which the history of the
exclusion of our pork from foreign countries
on account Of trichinB is given. 1t appears
that the tendency among the men Of science
and practical economists of France, Ger
many and Austria has been to condemn the
exclusion of American pork az unwise and
unnecessary, but the local hog breeders and
packers raised objection to its Introduction
On the ground that the foreign swine pro-
due. could not be subjected before entry, on
account Of its nature and the manner of Its
packing, to the same methods II investiga-
tion as native products. The United States
then began sn investigation, the result Of
which showed the hehlthfulness of the
American hog and demonstrated thst trich-
ine were not so often present in our
hogs as In those Of foreign countries.
Our government informed foreign gov
trnments that their prejudicial judg-
ment against our pork was &c parte
and unreasonable. Nothing resulted
from these representations. Last Febru-
AIRY, In consequence of the announcement
that the German Reichstag was abous toen-
tirely exclude American pork, the President
appointed commission Of experts to inves-
usste and ascertain the exact facts in rela-
ton to our psrk products. Germany was
invited to send an expert to cooperate with
the commission, but declined. The report of
this commission has not yet been made, and
until 1t is, Secretary Frelinghuysen suggests
thai Congress refrain from legislative action
On the subject.

Southern Democracy.


Democratic papers here In Maine, the Ar
gas leading, arc very much concerned over
what they are pleased to style the respening
OF bleody-ehirt campaign. It Is not be-
cause there have been fresh murders of Re-
publicans BY Southern Democrats that they
are disturbed. This is matter which does
no cause any emotion in their partisan souls,
unless 1t be an emotion of satisfaction be-
sause Of the assurance they feel that the
managers Of the organisation In the South
will not relax their grip, and will secure tho
ELECTORAL votes of these rightfxly Republic
can States for the Democratic candidates at
any hazard. II is not the fact that Ropxbli-
cans are murdered, that Democratic rnffians
cause Republican blood to run from gaping
wounds, which the Democratic organs object
70: but 1t 10 that Republicans show sigma of
protesting against that sort Of thing The dis
urbers of the peace, the promoters of sec
tionslism, the ones responsible for the bloody
shirts, are not the murderers who serve the
Democratic party; but the unreasonable Re-
pubicans who make objection to having
their voters shot down and terrorized, who
insist upon having the circumstances inves-
tsated, and who proclaim that such things
ought not to be, and that all men should be
projected in their right 10 vote as they please;
oais Ia. the burden of the Northern Demo-
cratic protests against what they sail bloody
shirt campaign.
'To be sure there are Murders" they say,
"and IL happens that the victims are R, pub
leans but 1t Is absurd to make any outcry
about 1t and to stir up an unpleasant state Of
feeling. Say nothing about it, treat 1t as
matter of no account, do not provoke sec
tienal luminosity, let the Southern people
manage their politics in their Own way, do
nst suspect their honor, or their fidelity to
Law and order. That would be unkind The
Democratic party wants peace, and II our
friends In the South have to shoot sone OF
sAeir political opponents in order TO mako

hope to obtain the same undeserved prepon-
dsrance in the electoral college and so choose
a Democratic President, when, If there were
no such doings and every citizen could vote
freely and in safety, we should not have the
Ghost OF chance; but 1t ia infamous for you
