when The estimates for the German
Embassy at Washington were present

sion arose on the general relations be-
tween Germany and the United States.
during which DR. Barth, the Freisn-
niSc leader; Count Posadowsky, the
Minister Of the Interior, and others
participated, DR.. Barth pointing out the

added, the danger from the san Jose

Count Posadowsky replied that tho

owing TO the Government learning tha.
Il large CONSIGNMENT OF fruit from an
infected distric; was on its way there.

Continuing, Count Posadowsky said:
Il have to-day learned that the in

precaution consequently, is necessary
The insect has hitherto not been found
in Germany, and even in America 1t
Is regarded as being very dangerous"
Count Posadowsliy then referred to
the various State laws in America
against the transit OF infected fruit.
adding: ITO the unjustifiabc re-

junction with his partners, George Clarke

cred vein of coal four miles south of
Louisville and expects to open up with
union miners from Louisville. The vein,
which was encountered ata depth of 33o
feet, is seven feet thick and is Ct the
same quality of coal as the Industrial.
Its excellent quality, unlimited quantity
and nearness to Denver encourages its
owners to believe that they can goin,o the
Denver market with their product at a
profit. They hope to secure branch
from the Gulf road, which is mile and
half IRON the mine. but if they don't,
they believe they can haul by wagon to
the city. Denman is confident that they
can make success of the mine.

The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1898-01-18

There is being waged against the
civil service a relentless warfare that
grows more vigorous day by day. Enc
mics Of the law are in all parties, as
we'll as friends; and 90 party lines can
not be drawn, but the question is to be
fought out ION it's merits" The peo-
pie have no desire whatever for q modi-
d~cation, much less the abolition, Of
the law; it is wholly a fight for patron
age. Representatives ind themselves
utterly unable to provice for their
friends, because they are shut out by
the civil service rules. For this reason
we are heart and soul in favoEof the
law and hope President Mckinley for
once in his life, will have the nerve to
stand against the howlers who would
prey upon the people. So long as the
offices change with every administra-
ton, SO long We will have inefficient
service in every department, and what
is worse, we shall have dickering and
trading on promises of places to wire
pullers and deadbeAts who should be
made to work or gtarve.-ThomasvilIe
