Increasing distress IN Germany.

Increasing Distress In Germany.
In sad contrast to the record OF IN
eSampled business prosperity through
out the United Stairs are the stories Of
the increasing distress among the work.
ing population of Germany that con
tinue TO be reported from all sources
The lack of employment is being felt
more and more severely week by week
DR.. Freund. who Ia the chairman Of
committee representing the different
German labor bureaus, - in favor of q
resolution proviGing that wurk shall be
given to nitives only, which would
raise the immigration question 10 an
acute shape. 1t appears that Russians,
Croatians, and ltalisns are largely en-
ployed as nayviss, in the construction,
for example, OF the Teltow Canal. at
the very gates Of Berlin. DIR. Freund
has directed the attention of the Prus-
sian Ministers Of the Interior and of
Public Worka to this circumstance, and
has als1 recommended that facilities be
given for tbs return to their bones OF
those who have more recently migrated
from distance to Berlin and other
cities in the hope OF finding work.
In spite of the statistics Of the un.
employed, which, on the lowest esti-
mate, bear witness to very serious
state OF affairs, DR.. Freund does not
admit the existence OF acute distress at
present, but coniesses that there are
serious grounds for anxiety with regard
TO the immediate futurs. The general
trade depression is already affecting the
lover middle classes, who have con-
tracted habits OF unwon led extraVag ance
during the golden period OF prosperity,
and the nGI ers are beginning to preach
about the evils o: luxury and to ad
vocate o return to the old German
traditions of simplicity of lie. Necas-
sity has already driven many persons to
the rlainest OF plain living. Commercial
uncertainty on the tariff question is
responsible fo- much Of the existing
trado dulness.

would 1t be to chop 1t into conveu len

Perhaps the Historical Society of
Delaware might desire the possession
OF the cid post and pillory, 10 order to
furnish an interesting object lesson of
Delaware Justice to future generations.
Or it might be donated to Kent or

counties the whipping post is crude

would be glad of the New Castle

the growth in the imports from the
United States with those from other
countries, the gains from the United
States are apparent. The imports from
Germany increased from 6,Sje, 80 yen
in 1890 to go, 1879, sos in 1900, the figures
for 1890 being almost Identical with
those OF the United States, while in
1900 they are less than half o those of

been four times "a much as those from

one Man Is Resnonalhle.

Says the Addicks Republican organ !:
$50 it IS that we have at the opening
of the most important session OF Con
gress, no representative of Delaware to
cit in the Congress Of the United States.
Congressman Ball is not State repre-.
sentative" We presume the meaning
of the closing sentence is that Congress.
man Bail is the representative OF dis
trict, but this makes no difference,
from the fact that the State OF Della
ware comprises sing'e Congressional
district In representing The district,
therefore, Congressman Bali represents
tho State.
2 But that the 8 ate has un representa-.
tion in the Senate will not be denied.
And whose fault is is: Why the fault Of
one man who has not sufficient political
power to elect himself, but has thus
far had sufficient political powet to
prevent the election of anybody else.
And this one man Mt one time, with
only four votes behind him, prevented
the election of Repub ican Senator
and created thereby vacancy which
was afterwards captured by the Demo-
craft Tor this vile political treachery
tho Republicans Of Delaware will not
now nssnt to his election 10 the
Senate, and he insists that because he
can not be elected no one else shall be.
And this is why, at the opening Of a
most important session Of Congress, th o
State of Delaware finds itself without
rem esentatidn IN the Senate OF the
United StIies.
And for this lamentahle state of
alta RS the responsibility rests uroa ono
man alone

The Sussex County School Money.
In relation to The trouble that has
iuterp sed to prevent the State treasurer
paying TO q number OF school districts
10 Sussex county their dividends from
the State school fund, the Sussex Re.
publican of Georgetown GAYS that the
County School Commission has taken
the matter up and is aiding the State
treasurer as much as possible in solving
the difficulty. The commission has
forwarded TO each Of the districts 10
terested blank bonds indemniiying the
State treasurer from loss, to be signed
by some responsible citizens Of the re-
spective districts. When this bond ~
properly signed the State treasurer will!
tho pay over the dividends to such dis.
trict Thess bonds are intended to pro.
tect the State treasurer from loss, and
the eussex Republican urges that
responsible persons in each district
should not hesitate TO sign them, Us
there can bb Go risk attached. The
Legislature ut it's coming session will
be sure to remedy the existing difficulty
and leave harmless those who may in.
demniiy the treasurer in making the
payments.
The trouble is that the new law.
which provided that the d stricts shou d
raise certain cum by taxation before
being entitled to the State dividends,
was made operative ut a date subse.
quent to the meetings Of school voters
at which the amounts to be raised FOR
taxation for the coming school year
we're voted upon. AZ a consequence
many districts voted the usual sum,
which was less than the new law re-.
quires. The State treasurer, therefore,
felt impelled under the law TO with
hold the State appropriations from those
districts.
We are OF the opinion that the Law
did nut contemplate this procedure,
and that the State treasurer has full
authority to ray the State dividends to
all districts, notSiths andiug they did
not raise the specified amount by taxa.
quent to the raising of the school tayes
fer the current school year, and for it
To apply in that manner to this year 8
taxe1 would make it 40 OK post facto
law. which kind If q law has been de-
CARED Unconstitutional by the Supreme
Court OF the United States The Stnte
treasurer, we understand, was willing
to take this view of the matter and ay
the dividends, hut he bondsmen oh.
Iected to him taking the risk, and he
fet constrained 10 comply with their
wishes
Under these circums ances, therefore,
there seems nothing for the people of
the districts to do but to furnish the
State treasurer the required bonds OF
indemnity. Otherwise, they will lose
the dividends and compelled to close
the schools, which would he q great
misfortune. Az the Sussex Republican
says. comparatively little risk is in
rlved, and, in addition, the amount for
each district is not SO large but what
few men could assume the RESPONSE
tility for Its repayment, il required,
without serious danger to their tinan-
cial interests.

THE COFFEE MARKET.

NEW YORK, May 5.-The Journal of
Commerce tomorrow will say of the
coffee market:
Brazil Grades-The week closed with
a quiet market, and changes in prices
were unimportant. Although the adj
vices received from Rio reported reac-
ton In the rate of sterling exchange to
IS 3-16d, the Brazil coffee market held
steady, no cheaper firm offers being re-
ported received from eit..er Rio or
Santos, and on this fact the market held
steady. European advices reported ir-
regular markets. Havre being II franc
lower, while Hamburg was partially II
pfennig higher Receipts of coffee at
Rio were fairly full, amounting to 1000
bags, but owing to the observance of a
holiday on Friday, no returns as to the
crop movement were received from
Santos The spot market for invoices
was quiet; still on the basis of ruling
quotations, importers were not disposed
to force sales, closing at SIC for Rio
No. z, 6S106Bc for Santos No. 5, and
Z 1-16071sc for ditto No. 4. The distrib-
uting business was quiet, neither out
pf-town nor export orders from Cuba
of Importance being received.
There was small narrow speculative
market Rejecting the slightly easier
advices from the Havre market, prices
opened at partial decline of o points.
There was, however, an absence of sell
lers, and at the close the loss was recov-
cred, final figures being unchanged for
the day; sales were 1,750 bags.
