q freight charge of little less than two

About the time OF the return oil this
distinguished economist, and when
doubtless his report had been received
and considered, the German Government
discovered that American pork-which
is consumed in America by fifty-two
millions Of people without injurious re.
sult-was peculiarly fatal to the German
constitution, and its introduction into
that country a violation of sanitary laws.
And yet American pork is admitted
into every ~pork-eating country in the
world. 1t is just as healthful in Ger
many as in England, Holland or Spain.
1t is in constant use in every American
family, without deleterious results.
In short, to have i~nterdicted American
pork simply upon the ground of protect
ing German production would have justi-
fed and called forth retaliatory prohibi-
tions. Bismarck plainly desired to
retain the American trade for Germany,
and at the same time prohibit the impor-
tation of American pork, thus protecting
the home product.
Here, then, we have a series OF
American influences directly antagonistic
to German interests-at least those
interests Of Germany of which Bismarck
and his Government are the opponents.
The eliminating a~ggravation in the
series was the eulogy by the House OF
Representatives of the United States OF
Herr Lasker, a man holding views
regarded by the German Government as
inimical and dangerous to its peace and
security.
When all these things are considered
impartially and free from natural preju-
dice, the people of the United States, we
believe, can we'll afford to let the matter
drop. This great nation of 80, ZOO, 600
people on whom the horrors of wal may
be entailed by needless chickering's, can
afford not to quarrel.
The Lasker resolution was in i'll taste,
if not a piece of sheer buncombe. 1t is
better accepted back and ignored in all
its possible consequences.
Our relations with Germany otherwise,
as pointed out, are a natural result in in
ternational and cannot be
helped. If she suffers at our hands by
the loss of her population who prefer tt
be American citizens, and her industries
are hurt by competition with ours, and
her Government hates us therefor, VIZ
are innocently held in enmity. While il
may crafty Germany to show temper
the graceful thing for the people of the
United States is to keep cool and refrain
from irritating ''back talk"

A BAD City Government.
ALBANY, March 14.-Roosevelt. Chair
Of the Special Assembly Committee,
investigating the departments Of the local
government of New York City, presented
to-day a voluminous report. The com-
mittee found many abuses due to the nom
execution or violation Of good laws. The
committee agreed to report nine bills,
which, If adopted. would obviate evils
and save the city $500. 900. In all the de-
partments which they investigated. they
found the incumbents generally either
dishonest or inefficient. Indeed the whole
government seemed in a condition abso-
lutely appalling. The details BY which
men have obtained position as developed
by the investigation casts q curious side
light upon New York politics. 1t shows
with startling distinctness that under the
present system men who nominally hold
offices are not the ones who really exer-
else power. That the latter cannot be held
responsible for their deeds. County
Clerk keenan, and ex-County Clerks
Butler and Thompson kept the books
properly, but retained fees illegally, But
Ter TO the amount of $50. 900; Keenan,
S14. 900. The County Clerks net income
is $50, 900 a year. They propose to make
fixed salary Of Sis, 600. Notwithstand-
ing the Clerks enormous fees, they say
there can be shown phenomenal ignorance
about Office affairs. The officers duties
as local politician forestall his duties as
County Clerk. This mans regular salary
would amount to $40, 900 annually under
the new fee system. They recommend
that the Register be indicted for improper
practices. The S~urrogate's Office is run
by subsidies, chiefly for blackmailing pur-
poses. They recommend that the power
Of appointing Clerks be taken from Alder
men and lodged in the Surrogate himself.

gives these particulars of the paralyza-
ton of Rev. j. r. Graves, on the 18th,
brief local mention of which was made
In our issue fer last week:
\ 'The minister had been ia excellent
spirits all the morning, and never had
he given promise of finer sermon than
when he gradually unfolded his argu-
ment, the necessity Of all men and all
nations for God and a religion. He
was hardly launched forth int8 the body
OF his discourse when it was noticed
that he occasionally hesitated and SEEM
ed lost for a words very unusual
thing for him. These symptoms grad
ually ew worse. He had an inclina-
Hon 70 lean over toward one side of the
pulpit. He made q desperate effort to
60 on with his sermon, add number
OF the congregation, who had been
watching him closely, grew very much
alarmed. Almost at the same instant
Mr: r. G. Craig, Capt. r. d. Pegram
and Mr.. Matchett left their seats and
hurried to his assistance. They reach
cd BIN not a moment too soon. Mr..
Craig taught him in his arms as he was
Ia The act Of falling. DR.. Graves gave
no sign Of pain, though he was at first
unable to speak. The c0ngres alton be-
gan. to crowd around. out were soon
made 10 understand what had happened
and dispersed. The sufferer, in a calm
voice, requested that a final hymn G
sung aud the congregation dismissed.
He named s. On Christ, the solid Rock,
/ stand While the hymn was being
sung he explained to those around linn
that his right side, arm and leg were
useless, but his head did not seem in
the least affected. He was conveyed to
q carriage and to his residence on Uni
on avenue, where he arrived without
growing al y worse. His wife. daught-
sr and other members of his family dis
played the most heroic fortitude and
did not give way till they reached home.
Drs. Frayser and Rogers were Summon
ed, and the latter has been attending
him very closely ever since. About sun
down hewas apparently growing worse.
His speech was slow and difficult yes
terday morning and at noon his tongue
was stir. At supper time he was no
better, aud DR.. Rogers thought the cri-
sis would be reached some time during
the night. DIR. Graves has attained his
sixty NTH year, and though vigorous
for man of his age the gravest doubts
OF his recovery are entertained"

A VENERABLE BAPTLST PREA Gu
ER DLSCLOSES Il FOUL
CONSPIRACY

DRIsKILL's p. o., Tenn, Aug. 20.
~To the Editor Of The Morristown Gazette:
1t has lately GENE to my knowledge
that the leaders of the so-called Repub-
iican party, despairing of success in the
coming fall elections, have determined
to continue their lease of Office and pow
er even il they have to destroy one-third
of the country. And for the purpose OF
doing this they have entered into con-
spiracy to bring about q war between
the races that occupy the Southern por-
tion of The United States. They are
new establishing their posts or stations
all over the South and training the me-
groes and low-degree white men to act
in this nefsrious outrage and slaughter
of innocent men, women and children
to crafty their hatred of the Southern
people and to perpetuate their corrupt
and infamous rule in this country. In
view of these facts, allow me to prevail
with all :rue levers of their country,
both North and South, to be on the
alort. To defend their lives and con-
stitutional liberties against these plot
tiers of conspiracy and ruin, all must
act, and that instaater, or many may
sleep the sleep of death without, a mo-
ment's warning. could enlarge upon
this subject and go into details, but
will forb ar at present, hoping what |
have written may save many from death.
If can induce the reader, by instant |
actfin and thorough organization, to
counieract this infamous conspiracy for
the murder of millions of Eaptists and
others who are not members of any
shall have accomplished my
object. DAVID PITTMAN.

TORY ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
AND POLITICAL, NOTES

AND POLITICAL NOTESs
GREENEvILLE, Tenn, Aug. %, '84
/ To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
Your readers will remember that the
Greene County Fair will be held on the
oath, 25th and Goth of September. If
this Fair is not the best one ever held
in the county it will not be the fault of
the officers. They have certainly had
published the best Premium List ever
offered by the Association-2500 of
these have been printed and are being
distributed. Among the premiums of
fered are $50 for the fastest trotter,
$40 for the fastest PAGER, $50 for the
best horse for style and movement, $50
for the best single harness horse, a
lady's gold hunting case watch for the
best display in the Fancy Department,
and q watch of the same kind for the
best lady rider. Large and snowy bills
have been procured and will soon be
posted in all public places. The work
of improving and widening the track
has already commenced. Excursion
trains will be run from the west on the
railroad, and the excursion rates will
be only 2 cents mile. The Greene
County Fair Association has been the
most successful fair association in East
Tennessee. The adjoining counties are
earnestly and cordially iavited to join
with us as competition is open 10 the
| lrpo ri of
large amount of fine stock in other
counties which it is said will be on ex-
hibitien. The association is out of
debt and has money in the treasury to
secure tho payment of all the premiums.
Browns wooden factory ware house
depot was burned on last Sunday eve
ming. Our people have only COM
menced to manufacture, and every
good citizen will regret the destruction
of this factory 1t was owned by pro-
gressive and enterprising men. With
the factory was burned about 1000 lbs.
of wool and q considerable amount of
cloth. The origin of the fire is un-
known. The loss is estimated all the
way from $12, 600 to $40, 00o, and there
was ne insurance. 81 ~,
Greeneville is now improving faster
than for several years. One or two new
store houses and number ofhandsome
dwellings are going up in the town.
Politically, we are all quiet-more so
in fact as we suppose-than anywhere
else in the Congressional district. The
Republicans think that the primary
election will settle the Congressional
squabble, and Democrats think that the
Republicans can not be united on eth
er one of the candidates and that the
nominee of their convention. to be held
here next week, will stand good
chance to slip in. o. x. L.
