SAYS the Inter Ocean: "California pro
duces 3G,O0O,OOO pounds of wool, worth
$4,000 COO" And adds "Suoh interests
will likely make Themselves felt at the
ballot box in November" 0 yes, it will
affect the ballot box immensely. Who
ever knows anything about California
understands that less than a score of men
own all the great interests there, sheep
as well rs everything else. The same
holds true elsewhere. "Tho great inter
ests," about which there is SO muca re-
publican talk, may make themselves felt
at the ballot-box by the use of money
but their votes will cut but a small figure.
The democrats fully understand this
thing and don't scare worth cent.

AFFAIRS In GERMANY.
Tke PruSSian Landstag and German
Reiehstag Receive the kaiser's
Message.
The Pacific Policy of Emperor Fred,
eriek Inspires Hope for
Peace.

BsHLIN.-The royal message was read
In the PrUsslan laudstsg in united
session. Is was q practical review
OF his designs and views as express
ed IN the previous proclamation and
letter TO Bismarck, The condition Of his
health preventing him az this time from
taking the Dash personally, the emperor
solemly undertakes to adhere to the
constitution firmly and inviolahly
and 20 rule III conformity
with the laws. The sitting was invested
with unusual interest aud the galleries
were crowded. When Bismarck finished
the reading of the message Duke Won
Rstibor, president of the upper house,
said it was not within his province to say
how each house would reply to the mes
sage. He would now simply ask the
aSsemblsge to mark the kings faithful
attachnent and devotion. and unite in
the cry of Long live King Frederick"
The cheer was thrice repeated and the
diet adjoarued. The emperor's message
to the reichstag was also read to that
body o,day. 1t differs out little from
that addressed to the PruSsiau diet, pri
cipslly in taking the scope Of the empia
instead of Prussia, and reiterstas his
determination to conScientisusly re.
spect and guard the constitutional
lights of the federal states and the
reichstsg. The message was read by
Herr Piesdorff, president of the reichs-
tag, who requested permission to sub
init tomorrow q draft of the address in
reply to the message expressing devo-
ton 10 the emperor. The request was
unanimously granted. Then Prince Bis
msTck, rising, said: ut will afford me
great satisfaction if / am permitted to
consider myself charged by the house TO
communicate the thanks of the reiohstsg
to those friendly governments whose
parliament5 have expressed sympathy
with the grief surrounding us. Such ex-
pressious have come from all quarters OF
the globe. Such widespread sympathy
on the death of a soverIegu has never be
fore been recorded. shalt thank You

LARD ADuLTERATION.
Refined Lard Manufacturers Present Their
Case to the House Committee.

Refined Lard Manufacturers Present Their
Case to the House Committee.
WASHINGTON, March 2O.-The counsel
for the manufacturers of refined lard
opened their case before the house com
mittee ON agriculture this morning. Jas.
Matthews, one of the witnesses examined
testified that he had worked for six years
for Squire s. Co. He said the
firm made two kinds of lard,
leaf and pure lar9. Pure lard. he said,
was made from hogs heads, rough lard
and white grease from hogs feet, and
white grease was made from the CUTS and
paunches. 1t was refined with soda and
put in on top of the lard. Seven or
eight tierces of foot grease were pur-
chased by Squire Z; Co., and mixed in
with pure lard. Other witnesses cor
roborated the testimony as 10 the use of
white grease in making lard in Squire's
establishment. After considerable more
testimony an adjournment was taken.
viii Cut Down the Expense OF Revenue Col
lections.
WASHINGTON, March 2O.-Estimates
made at the treasury department indicate
that the present rate of expense of col
lecting revenue from customs cannot be
maintained up to the close of the present
fiscal year under the available balance of
the general appropriation without Great
ing deficiency of 100000. Secretary
Fairchild has therefore determined upon
a reduc ion of the expenses in the
various collection districts to that
amount during the remainder of the
fiscal year bsing, 100000 month

KENToN, Del, Sept. 1S-This village
was visited by terrible tornado about
$50 o'clock last evening. It came from
southwesterly direction striking the
new school building unroofng it and
scattering the debris TO the winds
Heavy rafters were carried distance of
100 yards, and the belfry was carried
fifty yards. with the bell ringing,
and deposited in an adjoining
lot. The principal of the school,
Mr. Hughes, narrowly escaped being
killed, as a mass of brick and mortar
was preciptated on the desk at which he
sat. entirely demolishing it. lie was
slightly hurt on the knee by falling
brick. The end Of the building adjoin-
ing the school house and occupied by
William Cook was blown out, and Cook
and his little child were given free ride
Of several yards in the air There was
scarcely any article Of furniture left in
the house unbroken. The dwelling
house Of Mr. Riggs was un-
rooted and one Of the chimneys blown
down. Many outbuildings in the town
were blown down and the scare among
the people was intense. Several ladies
tainted through the effect of the excite.
ment. The storm was Of not more than
three minutes duration. The principal
damage outside Of that done to the schoo
building was to the buildings Of DIR.
Cooper and +. Gruwell.
Outside Of the town the damage wal
greater still The outbuildings on Til,
farm Of Mrs. NJ A. Durbarow were en-
tirely demolished, entailing considerabl,

Representative Gathering of LnborinR
Men in Troy.
Troy, n. Y, Sept 1S--About 100 repre-
sontatiyes from sixty-three labor organiza-
tions in this state met in Harmony hall.
Their purpose is to adopt some plan whereby
the conspiracy laws Of this state, which are
only enforced against labor men, it is claimed,
can be repealed or amended at the next ses-
sion OF the legislature. In its makeup the CON
vention can be favorahly compared with any
gathering Of labor men in the country. The
delegates were wage earners, although
some of them are officers of their
organizations There were no "labor poiti-
ciansn on the floor of the convention although
there were several watching the proceedings
from the galleries Should any attempt be
made TO switch the convention off the track
it has started ON there will be a row. There
are sufficient honest radicals and conserya
tives present to put an extinguisher on any
individual or score of men who attempt any
such tricks, and the chairman, Ed. FinlSle
stone, president of the Journeymen BARRIERS
union, Of New York, may be relied ON to pre-
vent any such scheme if his little speech oI
assuming can be relied on.
