WASHINGTON, MARCH 10, 1883.
PARIS AND PORK.

The Chicago Board OF Trade has
entered formal protest against the
passage by the Senate Of the joint
resolution which has already passed
the House, accepting the invitation of
the French Republic to participate in
the great Paris Exposition of 1889.
The ground of this extraordinary
proceeding, in which trade so far over
steps the bounds of common polite
ness, is that France dlscriminates
against the importation of Chicago's
chief product-American pork.
1t is to be hoped that the Senate,
which has already signifcd its inten-
tion of striking out the hog clause,
which Chicago man at the other end
ofEhe Capitol succeeded in interject-
ing into the resolution, will persist in
adhering to the dignities and proprie-
ties that international comfy demand
in matter of this character.
If Chicago have any contention
with France on the subject of com.
mercial determinations, let it be
brought out at the proper time and in
the proper place, but not obtruded
upon an exchange of courtesies that,
so far as France is concerned, being
Couched in fraternal terms and doubt
less prompted by the friendliest Of
motives, should be responded to by
the United States in similar spirit.
Have we become u nation of Doors
Must we all make hogs Of ourselves
because we raise hogs? Are the
ordinary amenities and decencies of
life to be forgotten in an everlasting
yawp about the tariff?
As well might the Government and
people of the United States refuse
their coincidence to Germany, weep
ing over her dead Emperor, because
Bismarck wants to protect his own
swine against American competition.
Is it not of some Importance that
France be represented at the Ameri-
can Centennial of 80, and at the
Worlds Exposition of '92? Not only
France, but Spain and Italy? Not
only these, but all the countries of
Europe that have contributed of their
brain and Drawn to the building up Of
the great Western Republic?
Then let the Chicago rule be rele-
gated to the stockyards whence it
emanated, for once make such a rule
of general application--an example to
be adopted by the foreign powers
against which the United States DIS
eliminates in its protective tariff-and
we shall be the most lonesome natien
on the face of the earth when most we
need company.
We cannot afford to snub France ON
an occasion Of Of his kind, unless we can
t1fther afford to be snubbed in return
by France and half a dozen other Eu-
ropean countries with ten-fold more
reason than the Chicago pork-packers
have.
Let us all pray Congress, therefore,
in its purely social dealings with for.
eign nations, to keep the tariff re-
ligiously in the background. The con-
troversy on this question will soonest
be settled as we come to have better
understanding of one another. II
should certainly not be allowed to in.
terfere with the cordiality of our hand
shakings or the warmth of our mutua
hospitalities. 1t will be found in the
long run that the requirements of in.
ternational etiquette are not incom-
patible with the dictates of sound busi-
ness principles.

TuE REPORT OF Health Officer Town
shcnd as to the sanitary condition of
the quarters occupied by the City Post.
Office will be startling, indeed, to those
not previously acquainted with the
malodorous facts of the case. The
building is literally unfit for human
occupation. As a tenement house il
would be condemned. It's use for inn
portant official purposes is all the more
severely to be condemned; and Post
master Ross-if it be possible to obtain
suitable quarters elsewhere, where life
and health would not be endangered
should lose no time in terminating this
shameful condition of things by getting
out, under the authority to lease con
fered upon him by Congress.
So FAR NOT newspaper in the land
has formally announced itself as OPP
posed to Mrs. Clevcland's reelection.
ABOUT THE TH1NNEsT argument that
is urged against the postal telegraph
is the increase of Government pc
tronage that it would involve. To
judge by what the opponents OF the
measure say upon this point, the ser
vice, instead of being run in the in
terest of the public, would be a mere
political machine, operated in the ex.
elusive interest of the party in power.
Why this should be true of the postal
telegraph system any more than of
the postoflice or any other de-
partment of the Government
is not made clear, except upon
the extraordinary and preposterous
assumption that every employe or
operator was sworn to violate its con-
tidences. But if things have come to
such pass as this, where does the
public find assurance that its tele-
graphic messages over the Gould sys-
tenn are not systematically appropriated
by the corporation for its own politi-
cal and personal uses? And who
would not as soon trust the Govern
ment, with its direct responsibility to
the people, as private corporation
As for the increased patronage of the
Government as an element of danger
to our free institutions, it is all fol-de-
rol. The country has grown in
strength and glory with all its fifty
thousand postmasters to be provided
for. Its decline and fall would
scarcely begin with the appointment
of few thousand telegraph operators

Disorderly Proceedings.

CHICAGO, Oct. 5-NotWithstandin the
settlement Of the street car strike rather
serious conflict occurred this morning about
three blocks from the Gal field avenue barns
between mob of strikers and the new men
who were running out care. The first car
was run out and proceeded on Its way with
out event. The next six cara were then run
out and had proceeded to Center street when
a mob rushed from an alley near by and
made savage assault upon the new drivers
ard conductors. Stones and missiles were
hurled through the air and several of the
mob pounded the men and eudeavored to
drag them of the cars. A band-to.hand
struggle then ensued. Captain Setback was
notified of the trouble aud with rs men at
once started for the scene. The mob which
had evidently vented its spite ran away
when the police appeared. Several of the con.
ductors and drivers were hurt pretty severe
ly. The new men soy they recognize men
in the mob as strikers. The trouble arose
through the fact that the new men retained
were concentrated at the Gar aid avenue
barns and were the only men running cars
from that point

MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER IS.

Tile Leader, negro paper Issued al
WASHINGTON, in denying the published state
ment that any considerable number OF me-
proes in the North will vote the democratic
ticket next month, says:
Here and there an uuprincipled negro
NAV sell himself to the democracy for place
and posirion, or a little money and call him
sill democrat, only to be despised By re-
nublicans and distrusted and laughed at by
democratic We hold that under pnst and
uresent circumstances, no black man can be
q democrat eni be ho.est."
Now this is exactly what Is said by the
negroes not only of the North and Washing
ton, but by those of the South ALSO OF any
of their race who may vote with their white
democratic neigh6ors and the knowledge
OF what it implies-that the offenders Will
be made "hot"--is amply sufficient to effect
the desired object. This being so, and the
danger resulting from it SO great to every
moral as we'll as material interest of Vir'
ginia, why should not the white vote OF the
State ward off that danger by being equally
as united and casting vote equally at
solid ?

SENATE

The attendance of Senators to day Is
larger than might have been anticipated
there being some thirty of them present
when the journal was read.
The message of the President vetoing the
pension bill OF Mrs. Sarah Woodbridge on
the ground that her second husband Is still
living, and that such precedent ought not
to be established, was laid before the Senate.
The bill and message were referred to the
Committee on Pensions.
Mr.. Hoar called attention to the Union
Pacific funding bill, and suggested that, in
view of its great Importance, it should be
set down for hearing for the first Tuesday
in December. 1t was 30 ordered.
HOUSE.
Mr. Dougherty, of Florida, asked consent
for the immediate consideration of the Sen
ate joint resolution relative to the confer
ence to be- held to inquire into methods for
the suppression of yellow fever.
Mr.. E. B. Taylor, Of Ohio. objected, and
reiterated his statement that no more legis.
lstion should be enacted during this session.
The Speaker then proceeded to call the
States for the introduction of bills and reso-
lutons.
Mr. Oates. of Alabama, offered resolu-
ton for final adjournment on the 18th inst /,
and it WAS laid over until tomorrow.
Mr. Dougherty, Of Florida, withdrew the
L H.,
ago upon the motion to table the motion to
reconsider the vote by which the House
passed the Presidential count bill. The
motion to table was then carried, thus
clinching the passage of the bill.
The House then adjourned.
