GERMANS ADMIT INJUSTICE.
American Meats Acknowledged
HaXe Been Wrongly Blamed.

Consul Pitcairn at Hamburg has forward
ed to the State Department extracts from
the last annual report of the Hamburg
chamber OF commerce, bearing on United
States trade. in which the following perti-
nent statements are made:
In suspecting the foreign meat impOrta-
tions. and especially the American meat
and. further, in suspecting the American
authorities. as frequently trichinae have
been found here in meats which are claimed
to have been inspected before shipping. we
can only say that much injustice has been
committed The fact that a number of
trichinae sicknesses have occurred after
the consumption of pork which has beer
properly inspected here proves plainly that
the accusations against the American in
spectors of butchers meat are unjust, and
only serves to confirm the theory that
'trichinae inspections represent only prob
Ienatic protection Another fact (and We
may call il a fact, no one as yet having
succeeded in proving the contrary il that
in Germany not one case of trichinae pol
sOning after the consumption of American
pork has occurred. and that after Germany
again allowed the Importation of American
pork. the cases of trichinae poisoning have
not increa sed. This also proves that the
trichinae become harmless after the salt
ing and other preparation of the meat. As
to canned meats this method of preserv-
ing requires such boiling as to render all
morbid matter absolutely innocuous.
Last years crop of agricultural products
in the United States (grain and cotton) has
been very favorable. and business is fair.
However, a constant decrease of imp0r;a-
tonS has been noticed, in consequence OF
the protective system of the Dingley tariff.
No doubt. this tariff IS a great support 20
many articles made in America. The rea-
son for the strength of American industry
is 10 be found in the fact of its capacity for
the production on large scale Of certain
articles to which the German facilities. with
only few exceptions, are far inferior
for the fact that in many articles which
have hitherto been imported from Europe
the United States will become a sharp COM
petltor; particularly the American iron and
steel industry. supported by the great syn
dicates. is making every preparation to gain
solid footing in Europe"

ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE.
Issue Taken With District Attorney
Inn Il L.

Respecting new Liquor Law.
The Anti-Saloon League had meeting at
the league rooms. 623 Louisiana avenue
last night. Mr.. Andrew Wilson, chairman
of the committee on legislation, reported
on the work done in the Congress which
had just adjourned. He called attention to
the law passed February 25, prohibiting
the sale or delivery Of beer or other intoxi-
eating liquors on Sunday. This law, it was
predicted. will entirely break up the bucket
and keg trade from the breweries of Sum-
days. 1t is held by some opponents of the
traffic that this feature of 1t has been re-
sponsible for much brawling and one or
two murders.
1t was stated at the meeting last evening
that District Attorney Henry E. Davis
holds that the law cannot be enforced as to
hotels and restaurants: but it was pointed
out that clause was inserted In the law
prohibiting the sale or delivery of intoxi-
cants not only by manufacturers, as the
act was originally drawn, but by "any per-
son or corporation" Mr. Wilson and other
attorneys hold that the words quoted cover
every possible method Of sale or delivery
and that the Sunday traffic in the District
ought now to cease absolutely. The pun
ishment for breaking tic law is a fine of
800 to $500 for each offense.
President James l.. Even reported from
the executive committee that Mary v.
Noerr had been added to the committee on
cooperation.
Mrs. Mary Dye Ellis, national superin-
tenuent OF the department of legislation in
the w. c. T. u, told the meeting of some
of the work done under her charge in the
late Congress. She showed how pressure
had been brought to bear on Congress by
appealing to their constituents. 1t was
stated that one senator, when thanked for
what he had done, had said:
Il don't mind you folks, but l heard from
home"
President Ewin, A. N Canfield. Rev.
Walter H. Brooks and Mrs Charlotte
Smith also spoke in regard to the legisa-
tive feature of the work.
A resolution was passed expressing high
esteem for the late Bishop Kynett as a
man and as friend of the anti-saloon
movement. and a committee was provided
to bear the sympathy and coincidence of
the membership to his widow
A. T.. Shoemaker, attorney of the league
reported on the progress of the work of
enforcing the existing excise law In the
course of the discussion 1t was stated
based on a report, that two brewers owning
land in the western part of the District
propose to force the maintenance of sa-
looms at two points by unusual methods
one having built flat in order to keep a
saloon, under the opinion by which a hotel
bar can stand within 400 feet of a school .
and the other Is said to be planning To
divide up a piece of ground in a suburb
and sell off lots in order to get a maiorj.v
of property holders near the saloon there
This will secure renewal of license for
the saloon.

Demand for Broom Handles.

American manufacturers of broom han
dies are not able. according to Consul Hal
stead at Birmingham. to fully satisfy the
demands of the trade in England. He says
an English brush manufacturer has asked
him for the name of broom handle manu-
facturer, as the American firm he deals
with cannot supply his needs. An investi-
cation shows that there is a great scarcity
of American broom handles at present the
reason for which, the consul says, he can

Cuban capitation Tax Abolished

The assistant secretary of war has abol-
ished the capitation tax of 81 head on
passengers which has been in force at
Cuban ports of entry under the American
occupation of the island. 1t was found
that the revenue resulting from this head
tax was quite limited in amount and the
military authorities in the island considered
this abolition desirable.

the position favors the prospect OF A strong
market and a bullish tendency in snecuIa-
ton until the fall months Beyond that
period however, there are monetary posi-
bilities which will need to be watched
There are very evident symptoms that the
supply of circulation is falling short of
the requirements of our largely increased
business. 1t is true, there has been an
increase of the money in actual clrcula-
ton; the amount having risen from 81. 75s. :
100000 on April l, 1885, to 81 1927 800 900 on the
first of this month"; gain of SIT. 800 900 .
but of this Increase SIP, 100000 has con-
sisted of gold, which is almost entirely I'M
available for active use in trade: so that
We may say the increase in the forms of
money available for retail transactions is
only about S60,00O000 within the last twelve
months. This increase in the active cir.
culation, outside of gold, is at the rate of
S.4 per cent, while the increase in the
transactions of the clearing houses of the
country was 46,S per cent. within the same
period; which shows an amazing DISPARITY
between the expansion of the active circu-
1ation and that of the general trade of The
country as expressed in our banking opera-
tions. There seems to be no hope of the
demand for more currency being met
through an increase of note issues by the
national banks. for during the first quar-
ter of the current year, the banks with
drew over 100000 of bonds deposited for
circulation. The only existing way through
which this want can be met is by the
treasury returning to the issue of gold GER
tihcates, which would have the effect Of
giving circulation to a considerable sum
of now idle gold These facts demonstrate
the necessity for Congress taking up the
currency situation as one of the first meas
ures after its assembling.

H. NJ. CT have some land that nearly
every year is affected with rust. Can I
apply anything to the land that will pro-
tect the cotton from rust? What causes
it?"
You do not describe the land, and in the
absence of a description we assume that
it is soil long in cultivation and has lost
about all of its vegetable matter, and in
all probability it is lacking in potash. II
would be well TO stop planting cotton in
this soil for a number of years, and devote
it chiefly to peas and fall sown oats, OBJ
serving a rotation that will supply the
soil with as much vegetable matter as
possible. Now and then atmospheric con-
ditions may cause cotton to rust on very
good soil, fairly rich in humus, but 1t is
chiefly on old soils that are destitute of
humus and potash when the rust is most
injurious. 1t would be a good idea prob
ably to make a pasture out Of this soil, or
in place Of this If you do not need
pasture to SOW it down in a mixture
of grasses for making into hay,
