Cultivation or Tobacco In Germany.


OF late years there has been constant
diminution OF the area under tobacco
cultivation In Germany. and the indus.
try seems to be threatened with extinc-
ton. The British consul at Mannheim
in report on the subject says that the
public tas.e demands better quality Of
tobacco than can be produced in the
country. which is therefore becoming
more and more dependent upon foreign
growths. Tobacco. moreover, is an ex.
pensive plart to grow, requiring not
only heavy manuring. but much skill!
and labor. It is very likely to suffer
from the weather, and even when har.
vested, and after the leaves have been
hung up in the barns to dry, the herb
still remains dependent upon the tena-
perature and upon proper treatment. In
short, its value depends upon variety
of factors, and to be remunerative its
cultivation must be rewarded by good
price. j..
Whatever the market price, there is
always the excise duty to be paid. and
then there is the competition Of the for
eign tobacco which. although often not
very good in quality, is generally very
cheap in spite of the duty upon it. For
the cheapest description of cigars, and
for the peasant and workman, German
tobacco would always find market ii
it could be protitably raised, but this
seems to be almost impossible without
reducing the excise duty or raising the
import duty. In 1892 only l4.735 hec.
tares were planted with tobacco, as
against 1883 hectares in 1891. and g.
zoe hectares. tfe average of 1919, while
the number OF planters has sunk from
lsO, 200 in 1890 and lGa.s43 in 1891 to
145, ,023 in 1892.

PAINFUL ACCIDENT.
Charles Johnson's Right Hand and Wrist
Severely Mangled and Broken in
the Fly Wheel Of q Thresh-
ing Engine.

Charles johnson, brother OF John A.
and Martin johnson OF this city, met.
with most painful accident this morn
ing while threshing at the farm OF Mar
tin Olson. In reversing the. engine the
fly wheel had lost clutch for some cause
and would not start. Mr.. johnson toe x
hold OF the wheel and endeavored to
bring it into place and start it In the di-
rection OF what ne supposed was the line
OF motion, but when it started up with ter.
rifle motion it was in the opposite direc-
tion and the arm OF the wheel struck
him on the ball OF the right hand, cut
ting or tearing almost half way through
the hand or lower wrist. But for the
fact that both bones OF the lower arm
were broken little above the wrist and
let the haEd yield or fall back, it would
probably have been torn off altogether.
The wounded man was brought to the
o flee of Drs. Clough & Johnson as
quickly as possible and the injuries at
tended to in the best manner possible.
Though very painful, he is resting fairly
well, and for the present will remain at
the house of his brother Martin.

UNCLE SAM IS SUED
AN IMPORTANT SUIT IS BEGUN BY
THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.
Should the Case BE Decided in the
COmpnny's Favor Hundreds Of
Other Suits of the Same Kind Will
BE Brought.

St. Paul, July IA novel suit brought
bS the Northern Pacific Railway company
agains, the United States to recover
damages for alleged breach of contract
was filed yesterday i'll the United States
district court. II is Il test case and for
damages amounting to only $500. but IT
the principle advanced by the Northern
Pacific road be established it will result
in hundreds and perhaps thousands of
similar cases being brought throughout
the country wherever there are land
grant corporations. The point at issue
is whether the United States is liable in
damages for breach of contract to issue
Il patent for granted lands. and what the
measure of damages will be. The North
ern Pacific company filed map OF def
mite location July &. 1892, and Catlin,
settler. went on the ground in 1SS3, be-
fore notice Of filing was received ut the
local office. The land was awarded TO
the settler. the secretary holding that the
grant did not take effect until notice was
received in the local Office. which in this
case was Helena. In 1891 patent was
given to Catlin and thereby the United
States placed it beyond its power to give
a patent to the railroad company. The
Northern Pacific company contends that
if this land was granted to the RAILROAD
company the issuance of a patent to
Catln and refusal to issue the same to
the company constitutes a breach of con-
tract between the Northern Pacific and
the United States. and the road instead
OF suing Catlin is cndcnvoring to bring
the government to account by seeking to
recover damages. The value of the land
is the measure of damages claimed. The
suit is based on the act of March *
1887. which gives the right to sue the
United States for damages arising from
breach of contract. This is the first at
tempt to apply this act to Il case of this
kind. Should it be successful it will TN
questionably result in railroad companies
having land grants seeking redress
against the United States directly where
the interior department has in the opin-
ion of the railroads wrongfully awarded
Lanai to settlers. Attorney f. NJ. Dud
ley. of the Northern Pacific land depart
mrnt. estimates that his road alone
would have from 500 to 1000 cases.
