There is no more puzzling thing than

REGARDED AS UNSATISFACTORY
AGrarian Legislation Will Block Ger
man ReciprOcIty Treaty.

The action of the German reichstag on the
meat inspection bill Wednesday has not re-
moved the cause of the delay in the initia
ton Of negotiations for a reciprocity treaty
between The United States and Germany
under the terms of section of the Dingley
tariff act. An effort was made by the Ger
embassy last spring to lay the founda-
ton for such treaty. animated by a desire
TO secure equal advantages with France in
the matter of trade with the United States.
These efforts came to an abrupt halt be-
cause of the determination of our State De-
partment to make the abandonment of some
of the severe restrictions of the importa ton
into Germany of American meat and other
food products. of the leading features
Of our side. The German government was
unable to make any such concessions with
OIt Legislative authority from the reichstag.
The imperial government promised to sub
nit bill to that body which it was prom
ised would satisfy our demands The bill
was prepared during the past summer.
While it did contain some features of re-
lief, it could scarcely be regarded salts
factory to our government Western saus-
age makers protested bitterly to the Agri-
cultural Department, which was looking
after the details of the bill, against the
sweeping exclusion of American sausages
from Germany, thus cutting off i'm
portant and growing branch Of trade and
at the same time casting most injurious
'iSptESioES upon tiit purity VI lile AMERICAN
product
There were other objections the subject
of complaint to the department by our
merchants. manufacturers and packers.
But on the whole. the bill prepared by
the German executive branch might have
been tolerated. But the amendments which
have been placed upon it by the agrarian
interests are such as to make it almost GER
tain that it cannot be accepted as a basis
for a reciprocity treaty. One condition as
to imported fresh meats alone is regarded
as impracticable. namely, that the slaugh-
tered animals must be sent over whole and
with the inteStineS attached.
II IS believed, though a formal decision
has not been reached as yet, that gov
eminent will be obliged to declare that
this hill does not meet its desires. and that
it must therefore decline to undertake ne
.gotiations looking to a reciprocity treaty.
In such case. 1t is expected, the sole hope
of the German export trade for the security
of its American market in many important
staples of trade will lie in the failure of
the United States Senate to ratify the pend
ing French reciprocity treaty. which prom
ises substantial advantages to its rivals.

songs Illustrative of old times in the south

central figure. What James Whitcomb
Riley Is to the hoosier dialect Polk Miller
is to the negro dialect Joel Chandler Har-
ris says of him: He is the humorist the
country has been looking for. I know OF
no one who can more aptly depict the real
negro character or more faithfully render
the true negro dialect. There Is a live
niger hidden somewhere in Polk Millers
banjo. and you look for him to jump out
and go to dancing when Polk Miller strikes

The entertainment is in no sense a lee
rure. but an evening of story and song: an
entertainment entirely out OF the usual
run. Mr.. Miller is never firing. for he is
always original and sparkling and his an
ecdotes are pure and replete with humor.
