How the Toy Makers Of Germany Prospsr

A few days ago. ct the Office Of the
custom surveyor. Minute reporter
picked up an item which excited his
curiosity. He was told that Charles
Mayer 4 Co. paid about $3.50 duty on
marbles imported from Germany.
IAN invoice Of marbles. said the re.
porter. ION which the duty amounts
to that much. certainly must contain
enough Of these playthings to keep oil
the boys In the United States busy for
some time"
Well" said Mr.. Mueller. Deput
Custom-house Surveyor, '.you can
count for yourself. The invoice con-
sists of sixty cases. each case contain
ing 200 gross Of marbles"
Taking in consideration the differ
ence in the size of the marbles, and
that each case was said to contain l25. :
600 marbles. this would make the en-
tire invoice consist of about 5000. 600,
or enough to give each school boy In
the United States a marble or two.
But as the firm referred to Is not sup
posed to control the entire trade In
the United States, the boys are entitled
to more liberal supply. II the
stock just imported were held
for the Indianapolis boys. division
would result in each boy getting about
$50 marbles. 1t is not probable, how
ever, that this supply would last much
longer than the dozen or two OF mar
bles which the average boy now man
ages to get away with each season.

DISEASES AMONG SWINE.
Some Suggestions Relative to tho Mortal.
ity Among Hogs.

ity Among Hogs.
Thirty years ago the hog was re-
garded as the least likely to contract
disease of any animal kept on farms.
At present the mortality among hogs is
greater than among any domesticated
animals. This seems strange in view of
the fact that most hogs are slaughtered
before they have reached full year.
Young animals are generally healthy,
after they have passed the period of
weaving. If they go through the
troubles incident to the change from the
mothers milk to the food supplied by
their owners they ordinarily get along
well till they have reached maturity.
Now the pig is more easily weaned than
the lamb, colt or calf, because il will eat
q great variety of liquid food which fur
ash very good substitute for mothers
milk. twill readily eat the milk of the
COW, common swill, or any kind of
ground grain moistened and made thin
by the use of water. II does not suffer
while being weaned as most young ami
mails do. 1t is not label to 'infantile
disease" 1t is killed in early youth,
long before it reaches the age when
diseases are likely to occur.
Still the hog, under the influence of
civilization, has become very un-
healthy animal. The disease known
as cholera is ravagipg the pig-pens in
this country as it is the human habita-
tions in Spain. In many places eau
tious farmers fear to keep many hogs.
They regard them as very hazardous
property. The department Of agricul-
ture has been investigating the disease
known as hog cholera for
more than a dozen years. Every
new commissioner Of agriculture
sends out persons to investigate the hog
cholera. They examine several dead
hogs and kill a good many that are sup
posed to be infected with the disease.
They make extended reports that are
published by the government and dis
iributed about the country. II investi-
CATION could stamp out hog cholera 1t
would have disappeared years ago. But

The Rurenn Of Lnhnr.

Mr.. Carroll d. Wright of Massachu-
setts, gentleman peculiarly well adapted
TO the position by education, experience and
natural aptitude, was some time last winter
appointed Commissioner of the Bureau of
Labor Statistics, and coming on to Wash
ington, soon had his office open, chief
clerk installed, desks and stationery pro-
vided and a systematic programme laid out
for the years work.
It is highly important, however, to the
successful compilation of statistics that
somebody should be set TO work to collect
them. There is wide field to be covered
and an immense variety of data to be col
ated bearing upon the interests of the
working people, the relations of tho working
PEOPLE to the capitalists the question of
wages, the relative productiveness ofvarious
industries, the effect of tariff legislation
and many other things concerning the
rights and wrongs Of labor.
What is more, it is expected of Commis-
sioner Wright that he have report of his
operations ready for submission to Congress
by December next, and the country will
naturally look for something new, original,
valuable and suggestive. The question Of
time therefore becomes factor of some
consequence to the Commissioner and some
wonder is expressed that there should be so
long delay in the appointment Of the spe-
cial agents whom he proposes to assign to
duty in different parts of the country.
We understand. that quite number ofap.
plications have been fled for these posi-
tions, but that for some reason or other the
Interior Department is slow in acting upon
them. Great care should Of course be
taken in the selection of men for places of
such peculiar responsibility, but it would
seem as If month or six weeks were quite
long enough to consider the matter, close
up the appointments and start the burean
to work.

someahine Wrong somewhere.

President Arthur issued an order on tho
27th of February opening to settlement the
winnebago and Crow Creek reservations OF
Dakota, and, on the strength Of that order
a largo number of enterprising colonists
who bad been long and patiently waiting
on the outside till the bars were thrown
down, entered promptly in and took pos
session, built their cabins and made every
preparation to put in an early crop Of sod
corn.
They acted under authority Of the Prosi-
dent of the United States and wero, there
fore, justified In what they did but no
sooner have these men fairly settled down
to work and put all their capital into i'm
provements, than, by authority Of another
President of the United States, they arc di-
rected to abandon their little homesteads
and get out of the reservations within sixty
days, under peril of being forcibly elected
If they do not
Mr.. Cleveland says in his proclamation
of yesterday that he has gone over the
whole matter carefully, and that, under ex-
istipg treaty rights with the Indians the
settlers have no business on the reservations
in question; that the order of President
Arthur is imperative and void, and that IL
becomes the duty of the present Executive
to issue orders of eviction.
Tho issue is thus squarely made between
the President aud ex-President, with the
advantage all on the side Of the Chiet
Magistrate and Attorney General now in
possession.
But what about tho settlers? Wherever
the blunder lies or whoever is responsible
for the injustice, it is the settlers who are
the sufferers, ana they are entitled to ana
pie redress. The wrong done them is al
most enough to warrant an extra session
of Congress to set it right.
It is too late to mulct the Arthur ad-
ministration In damages for having led
these poor and honest pioneers astray, but
that they have a good case against thu
Government goes without saying.

The suggestion that successor to Judge
Wylie should be appointed from Maryland
because of the old Maryland laws which
apply TO the jurisprudence of the District
of Columbia, is not worthy of serious con.
sideTation.
Judge Hagner, one of the court, was ap-
pointed from Maryland in response to sug-
gestlons that one familiar with Maryland
law should be on our District bench. We
are Of the opinion that the bar aud COM
muDity are satisfed that Judge Hagner
has demonstrated familiarity with the
narrow and restricted old Maryland stat
utes and laws sufficient for the whole court,
and that no additional legal illumination
in that particular line of jurisprudence Is
needed.
Judge Cox, also from his long experience
at the District bar, is as familiar with tho
old Maryland laws as is necessary in this
Ella of progressive development at the Ma
lions Capital,
Orr only desire Is that whoever shall be
appointed, whether from Maryland or esle.

hensive views, vigorous mind and varied
