The American hog is again upon its trial
in Germany. Imports of hams aud sides Of
bacon are to be inspected on the ground that
trichinae had been detected in the flesh.
Perhaps the Germans could cure all this
trouble bv little sharp advice TO their Con-
sus who are IN the habit of issuing certif-
Gates Of inspection on their own account.
According to Secretary Rusk this pertuTba-
tion has never been found in hams or bacon
cert fed with the Government stamp, but only
IN the dOubtfulp pork certified by COnSuls who
act independently. Therefore the SANDER
upon the American hog Is decidedly unfair.
Genuinely Inspected meats are in fact at
premium in Germany and the demand Is be-
yORd the supply. Hence the American hog
may cOntinne TO grunt satisfactorily aud
leave tHe Germans to sQueal.
So it appears that mining also suffers
from the policy Of exacting al the traffic
viii bear. In this light the proceedings at
a meeting of the Savage Mining Company
are interesting. The cost of milling ore has
scaled down two-thiTds, but the cost of con-
veyiBg " alter, fuel and supplies OF any Kind
has been uniformly maintained at the an
eient tension rates when there were bonan-
Zas on the ComstOck. OF course the railroad
company Will say IL is only earning a bare
living out of the rates. 1t has always said
this In every region where IL has pair of
rails. But the Savage Company does not
understand why this should be the case
The directors are right They will never
have fair treatment either in Nevada OF
California until there are three or four
railroads fighting for all the traffic that is
gong. Chicago Is city supremacy blessed
by having DO railroad question. All the
railroads i has are very meek in the pres
ence OF each other, No more should Nevada
or California have q railroad question. The
people can set matters right If they will
only act.
General Anderson in Tennessee behaved
l4Ravag Rl9SSy. He-svent .ipto the aapan tho
erously seized. But when the mob came TO
demand his signature of surrender under
penalty of death lie preferred death TO dis
honor, and, according to one account. only
asked that he be shot and that his grave
should be marked so that his family light
know IT, II is 10 be hoped that so brave
and conscientious man has not been faully
dealt with.
Under all the circumstances the Govern
ment order just issued is prudent. that after
September Is the baggage Of immigrants
from Russia or any cholera-infeeted region
must be accompanied by a certificate from
the consular officer that it has been prop
erly disinfected. We may not have the
cholera this year in the United States, and
il may not cross the Atlantic at all, but it is
bic. No precautions are wasted that tend
to keep the plague ont altogether
In business centers the talk is still of
what clipper ships are doing and what they
are destined to effect. There is no doubling
the reality OF the movement. There are
three large vessels either on the way round
the Horn or loading for Grace & Co., and
all the cargo wanted is freely offered. There
IS also plenty Of business for the steamship
line, and the other clipper line has good
prospects. No matter what the Southern
Paclhc does, 1t cannot absorb or control the
available American shipping, and if our
merchants only hold together they must
win, and ought 10 be able TO prevent rail-
road eXtortion in the future.
Every now and then the French have a
tit OF evaporation at any emblem which re-
minds them OF monarchy, and they have
g0od historical reason for their Irritation. 1t
Is mostly, however, a rage of sentiment In
boisterous Paris. The order has gone forth
to remove all emblems of monarchy from
public buildings, and some OF these daoora-
i've reminders OF sad past are 70 be
obiiterated on the Elysee, the Presidents
Of1elal residence. Should the monarchy
ever come Into power again-a very forlorn
expectatlon-of course retaliation would
fall upon ali emblems of the republic Toll
Grafton Is not much valued in French
politics.
Some foundation there may be for La
boucheTe's allegation that he was on the
Gladstone slate for some post in the British
Ministry, and that the Queen sponged his
name out The Cabinet hardly contains the
name OF radical, and it is the radicals
who have done all the fighting In this home
rule can paign. 1t is therefore a faulty
Cabinet in the representative sense. and
much pickering and intriguing and out
breaks OF independence. if not of revolt
