Denmark has just issued an edict for
bidding importations of American bacon
and sundry other pork products, and,
naturally enough, says the Rural New
Yorker, no small Indignation is aroused
in the reproducing regions of the west.
What adds to the feeling is that insult is
added to the injury done to the Ameri-
can hog. Not only is his admission to
the little kingdom enlarged, but it is
sought to Justify the embargo on the
ground that the noble animal is ex-
ceptionally liable to trichina; whereas
it has been demonstrated over and
over again that European hogs,
and especially those of Ger
many, are fully as badly infected, to
say the least, and have caused many
more deaths than can be attributed to
the American beast. Ever since Bis
marck sarcastically referred to Ameri-
can pork as ''the poor mans trichipa,"
the European reputation of our .'provis-
ion' exports has steadily suffered. In
view of the insignificant size of King
Christians dominions, the effects of the
new prohibition must be comparatively
small on our trade, so that in the event
of any retalitory legislation, it is to be
hoped that little Denmark will not be
selected as our principal antagonist.

The state of Texas seems to be in a
remarkably prosperous condition to have
suffered as it is said to have suffered
from drouth and other drawbacks during
the past two or three years. 1t is
claimed that there is now in the state
treasury something like three millions
dollars surplus. Such showing as
this, with the additional fact that a state
house, costing over million dollars, is
just now completed, looks almost mar
velous, but it should be borne in mind
that this fiattering financial condition is
largely due to the sale of immense tracts
OF land the past few years, payments for
which have been recently falling due
and collected. Payment for the new
state house was made wholly in lands;
so that after all Texas enviable condi-
ton, financially, is more the result of good
luck than superior business manage
ment, though there is no adverse criti-
cism of the latter.
