INFLUENZA IN GERMANY.
Forty Thousand Cases in BerlIn-I
 Ravages fin Hamburg.

Forty Thousand Cases in BerlIn-Its
 Ravages fin Hamburg.
 BERLIN, Dec. 9.-At meeting of the Berlin Medical society yesterday, Professor Gerhardt presiding, the present epidemic of influenza was discussed. It was shown by collected hospital rsports that the pres ent epidemic is much milder than was that of 1889. No bacillus or microbe has yet been discovered as the cause of the dis temper.
 An idea of the extent of the ravages of influenza in this city may be gathered from an article which appeared in the | Medizische Wochenschrift. This medical | authority states that during the past week | there have been 40, 900 cases of the disease | in Berlin. The death rate here from infu- enzs is not high, but thirty of the cases | are reported to have resulted fatally. The residents of Hamburg have become almost panic-stricken at the wide preva- lence of the disease in that city. The epi- demic there is particularly virulent in its nature, and the statistics show that during the past week the deaths have been 2SC above the average, due entirely to infuenzs and it's attendant complications.
 The Medizinische Wochenschrift cites ai curious feature of the disease in France the fact that in some parts of that country the schools and barracks are exempt from the ravages of influenza, while privat' houses are filled with the infection.

Commercial Union With Canads What Erastuss Wfman Says.

Commercial Union With Canada
 What Erastuss Wiman Says.
 BROOKLYN, N. Y., Dec. 9.-Before the Union League club of this city this even ing Erastus Wiman maintained that a political union with Canada was at present undesirable and impossible. A commer- cial union, however, was within easy grasp, and this was an absolute essential to pre- pare the way should @ political alliance ever be contemplated. At best, annexa- ton would take from a quarter to half a century. While reciprocity with concur rent legislation could be had at an early date. The free admission of American manufacturers into British America, and discrimination against the manufacturers of Great Britain, if adopted by the psrlia- ment of Canada, would be an indication of good will toward the United States, the greatest that could be demanded. It would also imply fiscal freedom from interfer- snce from abroad that would be a long steI toward practical independence; and 6 | market afforded for free raw material in | the United States would result in pros perity for Canada enormously beneficial tc | the United States.

VALUABLE STATISTICS (?)

The Compendium Of the Tenth
Census Of the United States, taken in
June 1880, has just been issued from
the Government print shop, only a
little more than eleven years after
the field work of the enumerstOrs
was completed. Aside from the
great value which this work posses
ses from the promptness with which
it has been given to the public, some
Of the figures are real curiosities in
the way Of glaring inacuracy. Just
one line, for instance, in "table
xlvii-Principal vegetable produc-
tions: Warren county is credited
with SO bales of cotton, %, 1862 pounds
of tobacco, and $26, 1862 worth of orch
ard products. These figures are CIV
en- as the annual production. 1t is
questionable If Warren county has
grown as much as So bales Of cotton
since the war. AS to tobacco, five
thousand pounds will probably cover
the county's annual production of
this staple, while in orchard prod
ucts, $26,96 represents but tythe
of the county's production.
For matters of information the
long delay in issuing this work rem
der it valueless, aud if its figures are
as faulty throughout as in the case of
Warren coonty, it is misleading and
absolutely worthless as historical
record,

Is the Courthouse Liable for Taxation?

A Bill passed by the extra session
Of the Legislature contains this pro-
vision: lqi.H.
"Be ii further enacted, That the
property herein enumerated, and
none other, shall be exempt from Gd
VdJoren1 taxation:
I'D All property belonging to the
United States, to the State Of Tennes-
see, to any county in the State, or to
any Incorporated city or town in the
State that is used exclusively for pub
lie or municipal corporation purposes,
but nothing in this Act shall be so
construed as to exempt In whole or
any part of any such property when
any Of same is rented out"
One room in, the Warren County
Courthouse is rented to the Masonic
order for lodge room or hall, and
another room is rented to the Warren
County Farmers and Laborers'
Union for similar purposes. Does not
this render our Courthouse liable for
State taxation under the above law?

THE SPARTA RALLY.

To say that last Saturday was a
great day at Sparta is putting it very
mildly. The crowd was estimated
all the way between six and ten
thousand. White County turned out
en- masse, and every adjoining coun.
ty had representatives there by the
hundreds. The Bon Air miners,
mostly foreigners, but all Democrats,
came down several hundred strong
uniformed in white caps and
white badges. There were over
one thousand hOrsemen In line
when the procession marched out Of
town to the grounds where the speak,
ing was done and the great barbecue
spread. Senator Bate was the only
one of the invited speakers present,
and he made speech of about two
hours, full Of Democracy pure and
indebted.
Col. John H. Savage was present,
and after repeated calls, took the
stand and spoke for a few minutes.
Congressman Henry Snodgrass closed
the speaking with an eloquent and
earnest effort.
The Democrats Of old White were
thoroughly aroused and enthused,
and the good seed Of sound Democra-
cy sown by all the speakers will
bring forth fruit abundantly in the
coming party councils and elections.
White County has started the good
work, now let all the adjoining coun-
ties follow with similar gatherings.
