Germany's Discrimination.

Germany's attitude toward the United
States regarding commercial matters
should be thoroughly understood by the
people by this time. For several years
past American meats have been barred
from the German markets under the
plea that Our pork and beef are filed
with germs Of disease, and the efforts Of
the state department for two years to
convince the imperial government that
there is no truth in the claim have been
futile. On Tuesday last the Prissian
minister OF finance issued a decree pro-
hibiting the importation Of American
fruits into Germany, giving as the rea-
son for the act that insect pests from
California threatened the destruction of
the German orchards. The reason as
signed is very transparent. The truth OF
the matter is that the fruits raised In the
southwest country Of the United States

The New Mexico Insurance Law.

1t is hoped that congress will refuse
to yield to the requests of certain east
ern insurance companies to nullify the
act of the New Mexico legislature re-
curing each company to deposit $4,000
with the territorial treasurer before do
ing business in the territory, says the
Denver Republican.
The law is good in itself, for it stands
as a barrier against the entrance of
wildcat companies which might at any
time prove a snare to policy holders.
New Mexico has a right to protect itself
in this way against irresponsible cor
porations. Companies that do not think
the business obtained in the territory
would Justify payment of the $4,000 are
under no obligations to maintain agen-
cies or do any business whatever.
For still another reason congress
should refuse to nullify this law. We
have often called attention to the fact
that territories are subject provinces OF
the federal government. This. in the
case of a territory capable of maintain
ing Il state government isl great evil.
and it is shown to be such by the at.
tempt OF these eastern companies to in.
duce congress to nullify an act of the
New Mexico legislature to which they
object. That such Il thing is possible
is altogether contrary to the spirit of
American institutions.
1t is bad enough that through eastern
opposition the territories are deprived of
the right to erect state governments. 1t
is carrying a hostility to local independ-
cnce entirely too far to set aside Il law
of this kind which the people of the
territory may see proper to enact. One
would suppose that the men who are
urging congress to nullify New MeXico's
law would see the impudencc of their
attempt to determine what laws the
people of New Mexico shall enact and
enforce. 1t ought to open their eyes to
the fact that by aiding in keeping the
territories out of the Union they are
perpctuating a serfdOm obnoxious to
every true American sentiment.

French vs.. American Civilization.

After all it does seem like the Frencl
have good grounds for claiming Il great
or civilization than that possessed by
the Americans. TO illustrate: Two
members of the chamber of deputies
quarrel in Il debate. probably called
each other liars and horse thieves and
other pet names, but did they proceed ia
make IA mess on the carpet in the as
sembly hall by hammering each others
noses? Not a bit of it. Such methods
of settling personal difficulties are be-
meath the dignity of French gentlemen
They HE'D themselves to the field of
honor. wherever that may be, and
poked holes in their good clothes with
swords until one drew blood by accident
from the other and all disgrace had been
wiped out. Nobody was seriously hurt,
the business of the country was not
kept in a state OF uncertainty, while the
participants in the affair talked against
time, and everybody came out of the
melee with honor and good nature.
How differently the matter would
| have been managed in the house of rep
| resentatives in the congress of the
United States. In the first place after
the question of veracity had been
brought up there would have been Il
nasty display of temper and had not
friends interfered the taxpayers would
have been compelled to buy a new car
pet for the hall: then there would have
been months of Improbable and mean
talk, and finally when the affair reached
Il point where blood had to be shed two
fools would have gone around carrying
guns hunting each other and some day
two funerals would be held and two new
congressman elected to fiji vacancies.
A system of social and legislative ethics
involving endless trouble and expense.
1t would seem that American states
men take themselves too seriously, in
fact more so than their constituents do.
and allow false ideas of debate and duty
to interfere with their earning their sal
cries decently and in order.
The French manner of adjusting per-
sonal difficulties and repairing smashed
honor undoubtedly has many advantages
over the American habit of making u
serious row owe a trifing affair.

| are remarkably free from the yermin SO
tionS and countries. On yesterday the
telegrapliic dispatches brought the in
telligence that the c%mpcror's minister of
agriculture had discovered that Ameri-
can horses possessed Il very bad habit of
developing influenza when sent to Ger
many. and that out of self-protection
the importation of horses from across
the seas would have to be intcrdicted.
Thus we see that for some unknown
reason American products habitually
act very badly when sent to the kaiser's
domain, while they behave themselves
~tolerably decent when shipped to other
countries. and why?
The free traders allege that the pro-
hibition of importations of farm prod
ucts into Germany is the natural result
of our high protective tariff. but that
does not hold good for the reason that
Germany is something of a protective
country itself. Not content with col
lecting duties upon imports of farm
products the government positively pro-
hibits their importatiOn, and the tariff has
nothing to do with the proposition.
The milk in the cocoanut is this: Amer
lean products, including horses sand
fruits. are superior to the home grown
article and find a ready sale at prices
which the German farmer, by reason of
high taxes and higher rents. cannot
meet, and the effect has been to de-
moraIize the profits of farming in the
''Fatherland." Against this condition
the Agrarian party has risen in arms,
and to placate this influential portion
of the nation the government has been
forced to resort to excuses and charges
of unhealthy conditions and dangers to
property in order to prohibit the mar
keting of American supplies in the
country. The world at large knows
how absolutely ridiculous and absurd
they are. However that does not re-
move the fact that our interests are in
jured by this prohibition.
Is there no remedy for the case? Most
certainly, and one that will cause
all diseases among American animals
and all pests in the skins of apples
and pears to disappear in a hurry
Germany is the largest producer of beet
sugar in the world. and the United
States is her best customer for that
article. more than half of the exports
coming to this country. All congress
has to do in order to bring about II com
plete change of opinion concerning
American hogs. corn-fed cattle, horses
and green fruits. is to prohibit the i'm
portation into this country of beet sugar
made in Germany. That will be all that
is necessary to bring about a speedy adj
iuStmcnt of commercial difficulties be-
tween the two nations.
Prohibition of imports is a game that
two can play at, and the sooner UNI
friendly nations are taught that. the
better for all concerned.
