The bloody work at the Illinois coal
mines was not so bad as at first re-
ported, but 1t was deplorable enough.
1t was entirely too suggestive Of an
archy. In Great Britain and in Europe
they find some means Of avoiding such
terrible collisions, and there can be no
reasonable excuse for them In the United
States

The news comes that Kaiser Wilhelm
has started on that wonderful pilgrim
age to Jerusalem. He will make the
grand entry into the old city in a gor-
geous six-horse outfit. 1t looks as If
the kaiser intended to personally reverse
the manner Of the humble entry into the
CITY of nineteen centuries ago.

THE MATTER WITH GERMANY

More facts are coming to light ex-
planatory of Germany's peculiar atti-
tude toward the United States during
and since the war with Spain. The
United States consul at Leipzig, in a
recent official report, gives further testi-
mony showing that the inroads of Amer
lean products in Germany are alarming,
and presumably exasperating, to the
Teutons. Meats, canned goods and va
rious other of our products have been
strenuously fought by German dealers,
on the ground of alleged impurity; but
when it comes to wearing apparel they
are without excuse for complaint.
Reference has hitherto been made in
The Herald to the successful introduce
tion OF American shoes in Germany.
Consul Warner indicates the spread of
the fancy for our shoes in saying that
"the best stores Geipzig) find them
selves compelled to keep a small supply
of our shoes in stock" He also says
that this demand for American shoes
has not been created through efforts
on the part of our manufacturers, but
is largely due to the influence Of some
of our consular officers"
The grievance of Germany Is, there
fore, of two-fold nature. Her exports
to the United States. her most import
ant market. are threatened by our do
mestic production, and she is assailed
at home by American manufactures.
When our shoes are pushed into the
German markets, underselling the prod
ucts of the home factories, our phlegln-
attic German friend no doubt begins to
think that American audacity will yet
send cheese and sausage to the father
land.

We think st. Louis is quite right In
demanding that congress shall pass a
bill to prohibit Chicago from running It's
sewage into the Illinois river. st. Louis
water supply is endangered by pollution
from Chicago. Decent competition be-
tween cities is all right, but Chicago
goes too far when 1t attempts to use
st. Louis for a long-range sewer.

Washington. Feb. 19.-Secretary Bliss
Is in receipt of letter from Governor
John G. Brady, of Alaska, descriptive
of the lawess condition Of affairs at
Skaguay and Dyea. 1t was referred to
at the cabinet meeting yesterday, when
Alaskan affairs were under discussion,
and was considered sufficient justifica
ton by the members for the dispatch
Of the additional military force already
authorized to be sent to Alaskan ter
ritory. The letter says in part:
News from Skaguay by the steam
boat now in port is serious. The Uni
ted States deputy marshal has been
shot dead in discharge of q duty. An
other man was killed at the same time
and place. Recently the steamers have
been carrying great lists of passengers.
Many of these are gamblers. thugs and
lewd women from the worst quarters OF
the cities from the coast. They have
taken in the situation at Skaguay and
Dyea, and appear to have combined to
carry things with high hand. The
best people at these places are power
less. because they have no municipal
form of government.
The United States marshal is power.
less because he can appoint only few
deputies. and when they undertake tc
act they are singled out as targets by
this rufflanly element. One Of this class
was tried in the United States district
court last December for the killing OF
United States Deputy Marshal Watt ir
January, 1887 and was acquitted by the
jury in the face Of positive testimony
