sons who wish places, and who have the
civil service commission Endorsement
that they are competent, and l am salts
ded from information and from gener-
al test of their merits that they will not
compare In efficiency with the men whom
could pick up in everyday life.
The duties Of my department require
practical experience and in some branch
es added to that certain amount OF
technical Knowledge. have not found
that in the material offered by the civil
service commission, and have therefore
been embarrassed in the performance of
the duties of my department. If | am
responsible for the work Of my depart

and must be permitted to select my own
men, and not be compelled to take any
body who is sent along and simply be-
cause he can answer-and many very
poorly answer-a few questions which

in hopes that something will be done
and that speedily, too. Otherwise the

sensible people by this time have seen
enough to get over the false notion that
the service requires an outlay OF 800,

clerks, and printing in order to protect
it from evils which, as a rule, exist pure

grumblers. At any rate something must
be done or the efficiency of the service
will be seriously impaired.

Retaliation.

The prohibition of the Ameri can hog
by Germany continues to be the subject
of int.rest in both countries and to cause
much feeling, because it is 80 manifest
ly the product of Bismarck's policy, and
not in the least founded upon sanitary
grounds. Most of the members Of the
Bundesrath are large landed proprietors
or distillers, sometimes both, and they
were very ready to pass an ordinance
which would have the effect Of stopping
the importation Of such large quantities
of American pork, thereby bringing
their own products in to the market at
a much higher price than they could
otherwise command.
1t Is now we'll understood that this
breach OF faith by the German eOvern-
ment toward the United States was not
founded in the least upon sanitary rea
sons, as alleged. The American pork
had been proved by micrOscOpical exam
inatiOn to be no more diseased than that
from any other country, but its pOpulari-
ty with the people was its offence.
The New York Herald publishes n
lengthy Interview with the distinguish
o Prof. VirchOw at Berlin, in which he
emphatically condemns the prohibition
upon the ground of the injury done to
the poor people of Germany. He says
that all which is necessary to secure
safety is to subject all pork to a careful
examination through microscope, and
this should be done with the home pro-
duets as we'll AZ with all impOrtatiOns.
The power Of prohibition given to the
Bundesrath, OF which advantage has
been taken by Bismarck, was intended
simply to meet cases Of epidemic, with
no expectation of its being made perma-
mont. and Prof. Virch0w says the legali-

ty of the act is exceedingly questiona-

BILE.
Whether this be 80 or not, it is in d.
rect. violatiOn OF treaty stipulations, and
should be met with sharp retaliation.
Nor ought it to be placed upon any other
grounds. 1t should be strong enough to
arouse the German people sufficiently to
compel the Buadesrath to repeal the OBJ
noxious law. II is not that the United
States can not live with the few mil
lions of dollars which the German trade
represents, but that our treaty rights
have been ignored in way that do
mands recognition and rsparation. SO
far as the SANITARY" part is concerned,
plenty of material can be found for &C
ton. The German wine largely import
ed into this country is greatly adulter
ated or manufactured and could DO just
ly excluded on account OF its injury to
health. But rs said before no excuse is
needed and none should be offered ex-
cspt that of retaliation for breach of
faith.

erected at a mere nominal expense.

had been hauled from swamp 25
