That trade rivalry is at the bettenn Of
foreign opposition to the American
hog" is in effect tacitly admitted on all
sides; and now that the French and
German parties injured by expectations
of meat from this country have been
joined by the corresponding business
interests of England, it will be instrue

opposition there is managed and devel-

pursued on the continent. So far, there
has been no outbreak of temper on the
subject between the two AngloSa Saxon
nations, and Minister Lowell's repre-
sensations have been listened to with
respect by the British public and parlia-
ment. although their tenor was similar
to that of Minister Sargent's statements,
which so stirred up the German gov.

Bold Bismarck is said to be at length
alarmed for his personal safety. A ca
bic dispatch says that he has ordered
the postmasters throughout the empire
not to receive any registered letters in
tended for him. The postmasters have
no option about non-registered letters,
but these the chancellor will hereafter
refuse TO receive from the Berlin post
office, so that every communication that
reaches him hereafter must come
through the official channels and run
the gauntlet of official inspection. Some
of tho papers suggest that he has at last
become alarmed at the activity of the
Socialists and is afraid of being blown
up by mail. The chancellor says his
only object is to be rid of the annoy
anee of the pretty insults which are con-
stantly sent to him, generally in the
form Of registered letters.

A clergyman OF California madea tel
ling point the other day in a sermon on
a sex in religion. that while there were
two women to one man in the church
at San Quentin the member
ship of the penitentiary was made up al
most wholly of men. There were hard
ly any women there to speak of. The
women preponderate in the churches
and men in the penitentaries. The
point is a good one that while there are
two women in the church to one man,
there are forty men in the penitentiary
to one woman. Where the population
is about equally divided as to sexes wom-
en- make a comparatively small figure
in the criminal records.

The riots in Cincinnati have furnished
another text fer the calIow and ineon-
siderate scribblers of the daily press,
who never tire Of believing the evils at
tending trials by jury. The man Bre-
ner was charged with murder but con-
victed only of manslaughter, one of the
most common things on criminal juris-
prudence. Admitting that the jury in
this case made a mistake, that is no
reason for abolishing one of the most
sacred rights Of freemen. AS well over
turn the republic and start monarchy
in case q mistake is madein the election
of a President Abolish the right of
trial by jury and all other monuments
of freedom would soon follow.

The president has made proclama-
ton restoring TO the public domain all
the Turtle Mountain Indian reservation
in Dakota with the exception of town
ships 162 and 1853 north, range II west,
which are reserved for the benefit of the
Indians. This will open a large extent
of good country to settlers, and hopes
are entertained that in short time inn
mense Sioux reservations viii also be
cut down to the absolute requirement
of the Indians, and the balance opened
10 homesteads and prescriptions. The
virtual blasting out of the big reserva-
lions is greatly desired and is sure to
come sooner or later, and the result will
lie vast increase of population in the
Northwest. in sections that are now less
to civilization and progress. And the
absorption of the great Indian Territory
at the South is only question of time.
The power of social influence at
Washington, in debating appointments,
and even in affecting legislation, has
long been notorious. 1t has now gone
so far that open confession of the fact,
and even an attempt to vindicate 1t, has
been made in Congress. A bill was up
in the House the other day to relieve
Mrs. Patterson, the widow of Captain
Carlisle Patterson, of taxes for special
improvements in Washington, as had
been done beforein the case of Mrs. Kate
Chas. Sprague, and Representative Ed
redge, in urging its passage, said that
"from the high social standing of that
lady, as well as a disposition to
do exact justice, the committee had
devoted especial attention to the matter.
The Washington papers often show the
effect of social influence, but The Star
is to be credited with properly rating
the Michigan Representative for urging
a persons thigh social standing" as
reason for legislation in her favor.

South Carolina.
How THE ELECTION WAS MANAGED IN THAT
STATE TO KEEP IT SOLID FOR THE De-
MoCRACT,
f. J.. B..

Congressman Smalls of South Carolina
gave correspondent some interesting infor-
nation as to the methods bv which the South
is kept solid for the purposes ofthe democrat
ic party. Said he; According to the last
census there are in South Carolina 1877 900
voters of which $4,000 are white and ILL.,
600 are colored. According TO the official
vote Blaine had 2i,73S and Cleveland 69,s45,
a total of 81 SIS, Even acknowledging that
many eolored men voted the democratic
ticket. to what political party belong the I09,-
600. voters who did not 90 to the polls?
Does any one believe that any considerable
portion Of them were democratsl Now | will
tell YOU how the democrats managed in my
district According to the census the total
vote is 40. SIS. of which 1895 are white and
~ S93 colored. The republicans did not
have q single election officer in nv entire dis
trict At % of the voting precincts the polls
were not opened, and votes in nine others
were thrown. Mine is an overwhelming re-
publican district. yet they gave nae but 5000,
while Mr.. Elliott. democrat, was given 1000.
Even in the election of 1889, which was not
q presidential year. there were over $4,000
votes cast, while this year whea the excite
ment ran much higher only IL 900 were count
ed. My only wonder is how they counted
me ia at all. These and q few other facts
intend to show TO the House and to the eoun-
try in a speech as soon as can get chance
TO deliver it.
