one of the most expert financiers in this
administration.
Simon w. Hanauer, vice consul general
at Frankfort, Germany, has furnished
the state department with the following
interesting report Regarding the San
2 Jose scale:
Nothing has been said of this insect for
months in German papers. 1t has not
yet made It's debut in a live condition
In the Fatherland, thus confirming the
opinion of experts that the climate con.
ditions of Germany are not suited to It's
perpetuation; but, while the false alarm
concerning the introduction and ravages
of the San Jose scale has vanished, its
i'll effects in the nature of administrative
measures against the import of Ameri-
can fruits have continued, and the hard
ship OF these proscriptive ordinances are
making themselves so acutely felt that
German trade circles and consumers are
beginning to protest.
The present German tariff rate on
canned fruits, preserves and sauces Is so
inordinately high as to almost shut out
this line of American staples. An i'm
mense export trade from our country to
Germany would result If the present duty
were lowered by one-half. This would
be hailed with delight by the middle class
and the working class of Germany's pop
ulaton, to whom our canned fruits
vegetables, sauces and bivalves would be
welcome luxury.

Under the agreement made between the
lawyers for the contending parties the
decision just rendered awarding to the
Democratic claimants the offices in dis
pute in Kentucky Is at once m ba nv
pealed to the highest court of the state
In the event Of the latter court sus-
tanning the court below the present in
cumbents must vacate the offices which
they now hold. The questions at issue
VIII thus be settled, and all controversy
brought to an end, subject only to a
fnal decision by the federal supreme
court undoing the action Of the appellate
court Of Kentucky.
In the light Of this agreement the hap
pcnings of the past day or two should
not occasion such public turmoil as has
attended them, and they would not
nave done so in any state in which pub
lie feeling was not wrought up to the
point of popular frenzy which appears
to prevail in Kentucky.

partisan tribunals, which may be drawn

otEer of the contending interests accord

given judge or judges. One Of the ar
rested officials has, for instance. said
that If he could have non-partisan
court and jury composed half of Dem
ocrats and half of Republicans, he would
be perfectly willing to stand trial. and
would never have endeavored to escape
from the authorities. This Is a pretty
pad state of affairs. Judge Toney. of

making the arrests the sheriff
acted under legal warrant. AS against
such action the incriminated officials

of the military forces of the state. The
general public will make ready choice in
