There are two men running for the office
of city justice who stand well in the COM
munity, and whose selection is to be de-
sired. These are II. C. Austin, the Repub-
lcan nominee, who long held the position
with credit, and Charles o. Morgan, the
nominee of The fusionists. The election of
Morrison would, on the showing made by
our contemporary, be grievous mistake,
and as much may be said regarding the man
Crawford, who is the other fusion nominee
for this office.

From Consul Monaghan of Chemnitz
comes report of the opportunities for
American trade in Germany. From one end
OF the empire to the other the railroads and
electric lines are being opened, extended or
improved. There is an excellent opportun-
ity tor the Importation of American tools,
electric appliances, and all kinds of articles
used IN the construction and equipment OF
these roads. III Americans worked Ger
many and the whole continent as carefully
as Germans work" the United States,
American exports OF tools and machinery
to Europe would swell within a few years
to double their present proportions. There
is hardly a large German house which does
not take the leading technical papers of the
United States. Very few American houses
take German technical papers, although
there, are not any better published in the
world. Evidence of the superiority OF
American tools and appliances is found in
the TACT of their imitation by German ma
chine builders. The consul strongly recon-
mends care in patenting inventions. Not
withstanding the holding of a patent in Ger
many, the laws put it out OF the power OF out
Siders to import into the empire for very
long time. If a thing is patented i'll Ger
many it must be made there. If not pat
ented, it will be initiated. In either case,
unless provided with enormous capital, the
American is obliged to give up large share
of his profits. 1t is necessary that live
agents, speaking herman, pe sent 10 push
all commercial ventures. Prices of furni-
ture are high. A simple oak rocking chair
is advertised for S6.42, that would probably
cost 81 in the United States. The demand
for tiles is great; hardly house of any
size and pretentions going up that does not
put in hardwood floors in the form of

White pepper is simply the kernel of the
