THE EARTH STAR IN WET WEATHER.
During period of dryness the earth star

Effect of the Mckinley Bill.

BERLIN, Aug. 7-Consul-General Ed
wards has Just finished his statement show
ing the value of the declared exports from
Berlin's consular jurisdiction to the United
States during the fiscal year ending June
80, 1891. This will be of interest, as
the Mckinley bill has been in
force during the past nine months
of the fiscal year. The total exports
from Berlin's consular district during the
year ending June 80, 1891, amounted TO $50
1913, POI, as compared with S66. 056 9S7 with
the preceding year, thus showing
a decrease of nearly s6,5O0000. Frank
fort consulate-general comprises the
consulates Of Aix-la- Chapelle, Barmen,
Cologne, Dusseldorf Frankfort, kehl,
Mannheim, Mayence. Munich, Nurem berg,
Sonneoerg, Stuttgart and the commercial
agency at Euerth. In trankfort's consular
jurisdiction the value o. declared exports
during the six months ending June 30, 1891,
was 81 $40, 631.S7, as against S. 100, 76067 in
the cores onding six months Of the pre-
ceding year. From this it is. however,
next to impossible to draw any definite con-
illusions as to the workings and effects of the
Mckinley bill. Some apparent decreases in
regulations Of the department as regards
the invoicing of goods at their place of
origin. Sugar, for instance, was formerly
all invoiced from Magdeburg by sugar
brokers there, no matter whether it came
from Germany or from Austria. Now
Austrian sugar must be invoiced at the
proper consulate there, hence the seemingly
falling OF in the expectation Of sugar.

President Harrison, or a representative of

publican that in his opinion il We're an I'M
wise policy just now for the Republicans to
force the silver issue. This is taken as
being significant in view of the general be-
leved report here that President Harrison
is more than ever indisposed to veto a silver
bill should such measure succeed in pass
ing through congress. The presidents
friends here are agreed that it would be a
bad policy for him at this moment to offend
the West and Southwest by antagoniziug
the silver views of these politically impor
TINT sections of the country.
Ohio Republicans are having no end of
trouble. The wool men threaten to revolt
because the Mckinley tariff bill has not

BODIES no good to the success of the state

Columbus announce that considerable de-
lection of this element from the Republican
ranks IS imminent in the coming election.
Many of the leading colorcd Republicans
do not think they have received a fair share
OF the Offices TO be given out by their party.
The Democrats have taken pains to reward
with offices the few colored men who have
come into their party in recent years, and
this is having the desired effect. The tariff
question will also split OFF few colored
voters from the old party. The mass of

A Dangerous Predicament.

On the other hand the announcement that
President Harrison is thinking of appoint
ing John NJ Langston. colored ex-congress-
man from Virginia. 10 the United States
circuit iudceship, has thrown the southern
white Republicans into flutter of excite
ment. A special dispatch from Raleigh, \.
c., printed here this evening quotes d
prominent Republican lawyer as saving
if Harrison thinks he will help the Re-
publican cause in Ohio and Indiana by
elevating one of the southern negroes TO
the bench, he is very much mistaken. He
viii hurt the party not only in these states,
but will kin at one fell swoop his only
chance of carrying WeSt Virginia, North
Carolina and two or three other Southern
states. 1t would never, never go.
How President Harrison proposes avoid
ing the scyIla ofnegro discomfort on the one
side and the charybGis of Southern white
dissatisfaction on the other can be only
stated by those who are believed to gain
the gentlemans confidence. It is knotty
problem, and it is doubtful if he himself has
solved it.

Since my last letter events Of Importance

evict a certain portion of the settlers in the
Chickasaw Nation. As to the merits of the
case we are hands of As the land in
controversy belongs to the ChickaSaw Ma
tiOn we grant them the right TO control il.
We think this eviction will result in the al
lotment of land in severalty to the Chicka-

looks like the Indians wanted the whole
crop instead of their rent. The Fort Sill
