striking feature heretofore unneeded.
That is the clause which gives the presi-
dent and cabinet full power to retaliate
to great extent, as they can choose
upon the articles exported to France by
any country which discriminates against
French products, or in any way erects
barriers against French trade. This is
obviously modelled to meet the Ameri-
can meat inspection bill, and is intended
as the French answer to that measure.
The general tone of the French press
continues hostile to the adoption of re-
taliatory measures against the United
States
Governor Hill has written Secretary
Noble asking for new enumeration OF
New York City. He says the alleged
difference of 100000 names will make
difference to the state of at least one

lege. He further says the secretary's
confidence in the thoroughness of the
federal census is not shared by large
portion of the people of New York City.
He says all the enumerators were repub-
lican partisans, appointed for political
service, and that it was to their political
interests that their party should be the
beneficiary Of their labor.
