A FINE QUESTION.

italian Laborers in Iowa Object to Paying
Their Poll Tax.
Dies MONIES, IA, October Ga fine ques-
ton that may take national importance is
now pending in the governors office. Or
GERS of Hamilton county imposed poll tax
on some Italian labore,s on the Northwest
ern railway al Stratford. The Italians do
not object laboring for recompense, but
positively object laboring two days for the
state of Iowa. They have therefore ap-
pealed to the consulate at Chicago con-
corning the matter and he has in return re-
ferred it to Secretary Bayard. The latter
sent to Governor Larabee for statement
of the case, with his opinion as to what
should be done. The Italians declare that
the imposition Of this tax j. in violation of
the commercial treaty of 1881 between Italy
and the United States. The state claims on
the other hand that the taxation il accord
ing to the laws of Iowa, and not IN violation
of the treaty. There are several thousand
Italians in this state, all of whom are greatly
interested in the question at issue.

His Alleged Attack on Irishmen WhollS
without Foundation and Untrue.
BLOOMINGTON, Ill, October lon the
sd inst. William Condor, an Irish resident
of Bloomington, published an affidavit in
which he svore that in a speech made BY
General Benjamin Harrison, November 2,
1876, this city, Harrison made use of the fol-
lowing language: You all know what they
(the Irish are, and if it we're not for them
We would not need half of our penitentiaries
which are almost fell of them. They are
only good to shovel dirt and grade railroads,
for which they receive more than they are
worth, az they are no acquisition to the
American people,"
-Four others by affidavit corroborated
Condon's statement in a greater or less de-
gree. The Bloomington Paragraph will
publish the affdavits of thirty four men who
were in General Harrison's audience, all of
whom fatty contradict Condon's statements,
and declare that the charge against Harri-
son is wholly without foundation and totally
untrue; that General Harrison did not use
the words attributed to him, or any others
of similar tenor or effect. Among those
who thus testify are Ex-Governor John N.
Hamilton. Congressman Rowell, Messrs. d.
NJ. and B. F. Funk, Hon. 7. G. Kerry,
Colonel John Reed, Messrs. Luke Nsvin and
Edmund O'Connell, prominent Irishmea;
Captain A. SweetZer, past commander g.. A..

NO NECESSITY FOR IT.

The Old Roman Will Probably not Write .
Letter Of Acceptance
COLUMBUS, O., October 2.-It seems prob
able that Judge Thurman will issue noletter
of acceptance owing to his speech Of accepts
ance to the notification committee. and the
extended expression Of his views in speeches
during the campaign. The judge has for q
long time had in mind what he would say In
case he should write letter, but his time
has been 90 fully occupied that il has been
impossible for him to put it on paper. He
has had several business mstters to attead
to and all bis other time has been taken by
his callers Who keep coming steadily at al
hours.
This week the Judge has to some extent
shat the door on his callers to give time to
complete his preparations Of the argument
in the telephone case. While be has NOT
stated that he wouldn't write q letter of ac-
ceptance, Judge Thurman has frequently re-
marked that he does not see the neceeeify.
The statement Of the early publication Of
such letter has been made several timea.
but in no case has the Judge stated noei.
tivel< when it would be, and most of such
statements have been made by others. Judse

GERMANY'S EMPEROR.
His Reception at Vienna Sends a Thrill
of Gratitude Throughout the En-
pire-The Ordeal of Austrian
Society Passed Through.
The German and Austrian Armies Prac-
tically United, and Ready for Action
Against Common Enemy
The Emperor Threatened.

BERLIN, October emperor Williams
reception at Vienna has sent thrill of graf
itude throughout the empire. Apart from
the popular demonstration, the enthusiasm
shown and the scenes at the banquet given
to his majesty. the visit has been of immense
value in displaying the emperor's latent
qualities. His social tact and personal gen.
ialty have been known only in limited cir
cles. The current notions investing him
with cold unsympathetic personality, have
been corrected by the smiling serenity
with which he passed through
the firing ceremonies, associated with his re-
ception. The talk at the embassies and in
official circles at Vienna is unceasing as to
what the emperor said to this one and how
he received another. Every incident is de-
tailed, testifying to the happy impression
left upon the people. 1t is not the least art

to please ever high born person
ages, giving to each the blessing
conviction OF having received ample re-
cognition. Emperor William has passed
through the ordeal of Austrian society in
triumph, acquiring new character a. q
man of cordial as well as kindly presence.
But his social triumph is trifie beside the
significance of the exchange OF imperial
courtesies at the Rittersaal and the BAN
Quets.
The official papers here and at Vienna
comment upon the emperor's speeches rs
assurances that the German and Austrian
armies are practically united. and ready for
action against common enemy: Any 10
mote suspicion of Emperor williams m
Ginning towards the Car has been dis
PEELED. On the contrary several incidents
have occurred which impel the
conviction that decisive action
for the testing of the strength OF the al
lance will not be long delayed. Emperor
William studiously showed himself gracious
toward the militant and slavic element m
Austria Hungary. He decorated Premier
lisa and Herr Won Sxosanyi, and warmly
received Count Andrassy and other mag1v-
ars, while ignoring the slavic pefsonages

VI all story tellers the knight of thu

ton oi being the greatest, says the New
York Telegram. With this KNOWLEDGE. a
party Of gentlemen who were seated
around table In an up.tow cafe the
other evening, enjoying cigars and coffee,
called upon one Of their number, a com.
mercial drummer, to relate some Of his
personal experiences. After some demurs
the man OF many travels spoke as fol.
lows:
"Consiaering the fact that we have inst
shJoyed good dinner, let mo tell you of
one which had under circumstances not
so favorable as the present. It was some
years ago, and I was out in the North.
west, not on business, but for plea sure.
with a merry party Of tourists. We, of
course, had guides and hunters with us,
and on them depended for our food, for
we were hundreds OF miles from anv
human habitation as far as we know,
One day a friend and myself started
out on private hunting expedition. As
we did not intend to go far we took little
ammunition and no guide. We were un.
successful, and decided to return, as we
were getting decidedly hungry. 1t was
cosy enough to decide to 90 back, but the
right direction was another question. To
make matters worse, it commenced to
snow, and after some time there was only
one conclusion for us to arrive at-we
were lost, and night was fast coming on
Suddenly form loomed up through the
fast-falling flakes and, to our dismay, a
Big, healthy specimen of tho original
owners of this country confronted us. In
fact We had met our first Indian, but ws
were in no condition to apprecat, the
honor. Remembering, however, that the
indians in tho Yellowstone region at that
time were not hostile, we put bold face
on the matter-.t was the only thing to do
and told him as we'll q, we could our
condition. His copper colorsd highness
only said ono word, Come and we ac-
cordingly went. After about an hours
tramp we struck small Indian
village, but what was better,
also saw signs of something to
eat. A large kettle full Of something like
soup was set before us, and to its savory
contents we did full justics. And when
we had digested our hearty meal our
Indian friend kindly showed us the way
back to our camp, which was but short
distance from his village. When we ar.
rived at the camp we found our friends
somewhat anxious about Us and Just sit
ting out on n search. A few trinkets am.
ply paid our guide for his trouble and
supper, and then, from motives of a not
unnatural curiosity, our own guide asked
him what he had given us for supper.
"'Gocd dog; dog much good; make
good foed,' was the reply.
"a fact, gentleman. We had eaten dog
soup and actually relishcd it, thinking it
wasvenison, but the react jon was too much
and in q half an hour we had another
meal; for when We found out what we had
eaten that dog refused to stay. But the
