An Observation,

To the Editor OF the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, Aug. 13.-I no.
ticed in your yesterday evenings
paper that there is a possibility of
having two German churches in
Mexico. Please allow me to ex-
press my idea through your journal
in regard to this ICatter. 1t does not
noncern me in the least what the
difficulty 1s-of a personal nature,
| suppose-but the effect will be to
separate and establish a church of
a different denomination in order
to cripple the existing church at
Progress. Now, an easier and bet
ter plan was introduced by some
members of Progress church. They
think 1t would be more probable to
succeed by establishing a congrega-
| ton of the same denomination, If it
is necessary to have a church in
Mexico at all. Twenty-Five men,
bers have organized at Mexico a
congregation of the Evangelical
faith-same as Progress church
and it seems to me it would be
more possible to succeed than five
or six. They may get the means
to build a church, but it will dis
harmonic the Germans, and none
will prosper. A GERMAN.
Prof. Paul Paquin, State Veter-
marian, has Just closed a series of
successful experiments in the in
oculatlon of cattle against Texas
fever. The first test proved a
failure, all the cattle inoculated
having died when taken to the
fever district. In the next test,
eight inoculated cattle were taken
to Texas, together with those that
had not been operated upon. The
latter died, while of the other
bunch seven are living to-day.
DR.. Paquin has demonstrated that
there is a preventive of Texas
fever, and from his experiments he
has added greatly to his already
valuable national reputation.

THE insult that has been offered
to America and the flag by Germa-
ny is fally set forth in our dispatch
es of to-day. Uncle Sam is not
very sensitive, and it takes good
deal to arouse her dignity, but
when it is aroused somebody had
better stand from under if they
don't want to get hurt. The Wash
ington Post says: "Were a Ger
man fleet beating its way up the

ANNE ARUNDEL county would be
greatly benefited by the repeal Of
the tobacco tax. The cigar indus
try would be greatly increased; far
mers would profit by the removal
of this now unnecessary tax on
their leaf. The present tax on leaf
per pound amounts to fully IL
cents. Remove this tax and it
cheapens the leaf to the manufact-
urer as we'll as the consumer and as
a result the demand for it will IN
crease. With its larger use and
consumption, more ready market
will be made for the sale of our to-
bacco crop. Thus the farmer
would be helped in his industry
and our business interest promoted
while the manufacturer would have
removed from them burden that
hampers them in their business.

Condition of Affairs in Hayti.


WASHINGTON, July 23.-The navy de-
partment to-day received report from
Admiral Gherardi, stationed at Port Au
Prince, dated July 10, of the condition
of affairs on the island up to that time,
which was referred to the state depart
ment for its information. There was no
mention of any fighting. Admiral
Gherardi states that Hippolyte was re-
ported to be advancing on Port Au
Prince, and that upon the beginning of
an attack a large force of marines would
be landed from the United States ship
in the harbor to protect American
representatives and interests of Ameri
can residents. The admiral reported that
Legitime had appealed to the American
minister, Mr.. Thompson, TO meet HIP
polyte and endeavor to arrange some
basis on which conflict between their
forces might be stopped, but whether or
not Mr.. Thompson had taken any steps
TO carry out Legitime's wishes
was not stated. Mr.. Wharton, acting
secretary of state, said that if
MIR. Thompson did any act in the capac-
ity of promoter it would be an idivid-
ual act and not as representative of
the United States, nor acting under any
authority of this government, which has
all along declined to recognize either of
the factions.
