WASHINGTON, Nov III. h Sanders, agent
of the United States Department of Agriculture
to attend the international exhibition at Ham
burg. in report recently submitted to the Com
missioner of Agriculture. says: 80 far as could
gather, tits generally conceded that whenever
an inspection of our pork is made under care
full governmental supervision similar to
that now made by the German au-
thorities, there will be no objection
to its sale in Germany Indeed with one such in
spection made there would be such strong pres
sure brought to bear upon the German govern
ment by their own people that the embargo
would be speedily removed. Should further ,ex-
periments confirm what has been already
partially shown, that thorough curing
in salt destroys the vitality of trichin@, if
not entirely. at least to so great degree as to
reduce the danger from meats that have been
thoroughly cured by this process to almost moth
ing, 1t will. doubtless, be strong point in
tavor, and proper presentation of the facts to
the GerlnaA government should this be clearly
proven, ought at once to be made. Until this fact
is clearly established, however and in the alb
sence of any pretence of inspection of American
meats, under governmental or individual super
vision, the position of the German government
is obviously sound upon this question, and can
not be assailed without first demonstrating that
their own inspector is useless

The secretary of the interior Saturday rem
dered decision in the case of the applica-
ton for patent of the claimants Of the Maid
of Erin mining claim, situated in the Cali
fornia mining district, Leadyille, COL, and
the protest of tho owners of the Vanderbilt
lode against the same. The decision of the
secretary, which was in favor Of the Maid of
Erin claimants, ia Of much interest to per-
sons engaged in mining operations. In his
decision he says by the failure of the Van
derbilt claimants to adverse the applicants of
the Maid of Erin, they admitted that they
had no right to the property, and they cannot
now BIO heard to set up either an equitable or
legal title to the Maid Of Erin claim. Min
cral had been discovered in the working
shaft of the Maid of Erin claim before the
second location. The protestants assert
that failure to find mineral in the discovery
shaft is Noncompliance with the
law. 1t is not material to proper deter
mination of the case whether or not min
raj was discovered in the discovery shaft.
1t may we'll be doubted whether the legisla-
ture Of Colorado can attach such condition
to the appropriation Of mineral lands, when
the national statute only provides for the dis
covery Of mineral within the claim. But
do not consider it worth while to consider
whether such legislation is authorized or not
for after entry where there is no evidence Of
fraud, and in question between the govern
ment and applicants only, it is tho duty OF
the department to sustain the entry if it can
lawfully DO done. 1t is the discovery of min
eTal that entities the discoverer to claim
it is equally meritorous whether discovered
in the discovery shaft or any other part o
the surface ground of his claim, as the ma
tional statute is silent as to whe 70 il shall b.

In the Grasp OF uIiteracy.

Representative Willis expects to have his
bill providing for federal aid to education
favorably reported this week from the COM
mittee on education. He has prepared q table,
embodied in the report Of the subcommitt 60
that has recommended the passage of the bill,
which shows that illiteracy holds the balance
of power in fourteen northern and in all the
southern states The report says; "ln the
Eight states there are 1,S7l PIT iliterate
voters. Only one voter in five can write his
name. The illiterate voters in South Carolina
are more than one-half; in Alabama, Florida,
Mississippi, Georgia, North Carolina, and
Virginia, one in two; while Missouri, with
one in nine, presents the best record OF
any of tho southern states. In the
presidential election of 1876, New York,
New Hampshire, New Jersey, Connecticut,
Indiana, California, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon,
Wisconsin, Illinois, Rhode Island, Michigan
and Pennsylvania were ranged on the side OF
illiteracy. In the last presidential contest
80 of the states of the Union, with 29S cleo
toral votes, were again within the domination
of sovereigns who could not read the very
charter Of their liberties. The majorities
which they gave could have been overthrown
by combined vote of their illiterate voters,
even if those majorties had been five times
as great as they were, In 1876 Mr.. Tilden't
majority of the popular vote was 1884; in
1880 Mr.. Garfeld's majority was only 3,033
In 1876, 60 Of our 20 senators, three-ffths
of the whole, and 259 Of the 292 representa-
tives, were in the grasp of illiteracy. In 1880
| SO OF our 20 senators, and 292 Of our 1926 repre-
sentatives were in states and districts where
illiterate voters held the balance of power"

Southern Gentlemen Oppose the Brtend-
ing OF National Aid. 10 the Illiterato
Blacks.
On Saturday the committee on education of
tho two houses met jointly to hear arguments
by state commissioners of education and
others in favor of the passage Of bill ex-
tending national aid to the states for educa-
tional purposes. They were addressed by
DR.. G.. j. Orr, Of Georgia; Mr.. j. 9. Scar
borough, North Carolina; A. Coward, South
Carolina; A. J. Kickoff, New York; J. M.
Holcombe, INDIANA; Rev. Il. NJ Bicknell,
representing committee appointed by tho
interstate educational convention ut Louis
vile last September, and G. c. Painter, secre-
tary of the national educational committee.
The statistics Of illitorncy in different locali-
ties were discussed, and the necessities Of the
various sections were set forth. DR.. Orr
advocated tho appropriation Of $l5,0oO,0O0 o
year to BIO distributed among tho states ON the
basis of illiteracy; To be disbursed under
state laws by state authorities; congress to
retain the right Of rovoking the appropria.
tion for any particular state upon evidence OF
misapplication reports TO BIO made to the
secretary of the interior annually by state
authorities of the work done.
DIR. Bickpell advocated o provision requir-
ing the division Of the money In localities
where separate schools we're maintained for
whites aud blacks in proportion to the illit-
eracy In the respective races.
The gentlemen from southern states op-
posed this on the ground of unfairness to the
whites. Experience had shown that efficient
white teachers could not be employed as
cheap as colored teachers Of like grades. The
distribution on the ground of illiteracy alone
would therefore give tho colored children
school advantages greater portion of tho
year than It was possible to keep white
schools open. DIR. Scarborough further OBJ
jected, for the reason that tho whites would
be led to believe that the government was
going to take care of the cUlored schools, and
they would tax themselves only for their
own. He did not wish to have tho people
taught to rely upon national aid for either
class

Ways and Means.
Representatives Of the steel. iron, and iron
ore interests appeared before the committee Of
ways and means of tho house Saturday after
noon and demonstrated against the proposed
changes Of the tariff law making q reduction
on iron. They expressed themselves as
strongly in favor Of protection from bottom
to top" as they believed that adherence to
the principles of protection would benefit the
enactment of tho Morrison bill was
presented. IL is signed by Ia
iron men, representing $15O,OO00OO. This
paper claims that reduction would
have an evil effect on labor, and that If the
duties are reduced the selling price Of Ameri-
can products would have to be reduced to
compete with foreign importations. To &C.
complished this the cost of production must
be lowered. The reduction would come out
of labor, and that would tend to place Ameri-
can workingmon permanently in q condition
against which foreign laborers revolt.
Mr.. Wayne McVeigh addressed the COM
mittee in behalf of number of manufac-
turers. He said the present system ought to
be left alone and that ''the interests of manu-
facturers should not be made political foot
ball"

of committees to-day for motions to suspend
the rules, intends to call up his copyright bill
for action. Ex-speaker Keifer, of the appro-
priation committee, will call up the military
academy bill tomorrow, and it is possible
that the house will continue consideration of
the naval appropriation bill, which is now
pending, the following day. The pleuro-
pneumonia bill, which is also pending in COM
mittee of the whole, 1t is expected. will again
be considered this week. The house will
probably observe Washingtons birthday, and
adjourn Thursday until the following Mon
day.
The house committee on commerce expect
to have prepared by the latter part Of the
week bill on the subject of the regulation
of interstate commerce, and it is probable
that q bill to prevent evasions of the law
prohibiting the importation of Chinese labor
ers will be matured this week by the COM
mittee on foreign affairs.
The unfinished business of the senate is the
