M. Amadee Makteac, who was sent by the French minister of commerce to re- jiort u)>on the recent industrial develop ments of Germany, finds that the average exports of manufactured articles from Germany have lieen doubled within the last ten years. The exort of manufac tured paper and pasteboard has been quadrupled within that time, that of metal work quadrupled, and leather work trebled. The tonnage of steam merchant vessels has been nearly trebled in the last four years, and fully fifty per cent, of the trade of Germany is carried in German bottoms, while the percentage is constantly increasing. In concluding his report M. Marteaii, notes that both wages and freights are lower in Ger many, and that disputes between masters and workmen are less frequent and less bitter than in France. The republican newspapers, in discus sing the Cutting case, at first abused Sec retary Bayard for acting on unreliable information. Now that they find liis in formation was correct they are taking the Mexican side to the extent of up holding the right of Mexicans to enforce their claim of extra territorial jurisdic tion. One of the learned jurists who furnishes legal opinions to the New York Tribune says: "The local laws of France, Belgium, Italy and, 1 think, also of Ger many, assert the rights, in the circum stances and under the conditions speci fied, to try and punish certain offenses committed beyond their respective terri tories, provided the custody of theoflend- ing parties shall be lawfully obtained; and in this respect these nations stand upon the principle adopted in the local | law of Mexico. This settles the question j that there is no recognized doctrine of in- i ternational law adverse to and violated by the position .of Mexico, even if we assume Cutting to have been there j nrrestid and tried for what he did in! Texas.” unions uiut t rut: < i..\run,. l'he article in yesterday’s Constitution, j headed "scooped,” has, if possible, less j foundation in fact than, any of the many I sensational stories touching the Central railroad that have appeared in that paper for a long time. After reading it over carefuliv we are surprised that such a flaming “head" and such dogmatic < opinii 11.- could lie based on such meagre j facts It may be that the reporter was honest in stating that “there appears to be no reason to doubt that the Louisville i and Nashville railroad has obtained con-. trol of the Central," hut we are entirely unable to understand bow lie arrived at | liis conclusion. We are accustomed to j require very clear proof to satisfy us of the existence of a fact; Imt this reporter linds no reason to doubt, even when he has no facts at all to rely upon. AYe beg to call attention to the grounds, as set mrtli by the reporter himself, ns the 1 >asis of his conclusion. First, lie says "it will be remembered that some time eg.'the Constitution gave some ac count i'rumored dissensions among the ibi 'C. ,s of the Central railroad. It was said that Captain Haoul, president of the road, had been sent for by the directors residing in New York and informed that he must make a change in the policy he was carrying out or prepare to he ousted.” This is the first fact. Then follows the next, “Then the Constitution pub lished a special from Augusta announc ing that brokers, inspired by Gen. E. P. Alexander, were buying Central rail road stock as rapidly as possible from all parties willing to sell.” These are the facts which seem to have forced the reporter to the conclu sion that there was no reason to doubt it and it will be noticed that they are both statements made by the Constitution. Now, if the reporter had followed this up by calling attention to the fact that in both instances these rumors proved true, then we might give him some credit as a prophet, and so swallow everything he says. But strange to say, he goes on to add about the first report, "the truth of the rumor was denied.” He ought to have said that there was not the slightest foundation for this report. What policy wa» Capt. .Raoul to “change at the com- ; northern directors and borrow money in Europe to buy up the .dock in order to ! change this policy. j As to the lie.xi rumor the reporter made the following singular statement: ‘This was true—that i- it was true that broker.- were buying the stock as rapidly as possible.” In other wor.ds, when it is declared that General Alexander lmd insured the purchase—this is. proved to he true—by simply showing that brokers were actually buying the stock. Why did not the reporter say that the connection of General Alexander with this purchase was purely a fabrication or at best an unsupported rumor. Now upon the credit of these two pub lications, tlie reporter goes on to declare that the Louisville and Nashville had actually scooped up the Central. If there is no more truth in this state ment than in the two former statements, then we know just what value to put upon it. The truth is that all these rumors are based upon the simple fact that unknown parties are buying up Central stock, and under this demand it hux increased from about $7o to *102 per share. But the reporter, not content with scooping up the stock, actually tells of changes of officers which will take place in consequence of the change of ow ner ship, and he adds that these changes will take place about the 1st of September. If we were at all inclined to believe the story, this would satisfy us of its untruth, because the annual election for president and directors does not come off until January, consequently there could be no change even if the Louisville anil Nash ville hud bought every share of the stock. The truth is that these rumors have come from Birmingham and Montgom ery, and are based more upon what the people of these places hope will be than what actually has been done. Tp confirm our opinion, we find a tele gram from Louisville just under the ar ticle in the Constitution, in which it ap pears that tlio comptroller of the Louis ville and Nashville railroad, upon being shown the pa)'ers from Birmingham and Montgomery containing these reports, said there was not a word of truth in them—they were mere newspaper re ports. And this is just what we think about them, and we prediet that General Alexander will nut confirm the truth, but will deny all knowledge of the mat ter. _________ A ( ASK OK RKTUimTION. It is an adage as old as the hills that “chickens couie home to roost.” It finds a striking illustration in the Belfnst riots. It seems from the tone of our foreign dis patches that the battles of Belfast have about ceased, hut those riots furnish food for serious reflection. Belfast is the only town in Ireland where there has been in recent times either riot or disturbance. In all other towns of Ireland, and in all rural districts outside the counties of Antrim, Berry and a largi 1 town, the Irish AA’orld tell nationalists are largely in the majority, | and in those districts there is not now . ; nor has there been for years, any ills- ; turhanei hearing a religious or party as-| pect. V hat section of the population of j Ireland is it, then, against which the charge of intolerance and of rowdyism holds good? The answer is to ho found in tlie facts just stated. Nowhere else in Ireland except ill Belfast and a few other places in which the loyalists have a majority do we hear of organized, mur derous assaults on the minority. In Lub lin und Cork and Limerick and every other city, town and district outside of a small corner in Lister toleration is not only the theory hut the fact. AV the nationals are in the mrjority no man i.- subjected to outrage because of his re ligion or politics. These are the' facts in regard to the situation as we understand it. In diseas ing it the Missouri Republican presents some facts that are history. It says: •“If the wretched reign of riot and vio lence in Belfast touches any conspicuous lesson beyond the lawless spirit oftlie Orange element, there and elsewhere, it is that, as governments cannot be pun ished for their crimes in the next world, they are punished in this. It is a moral law as pitiless as it is sometimes fright ful. The British government and people iire reaping the whirlwind w hose seeds they sowed centuries ago when they planted Seoteh-Saxon Protestants in ITster on lands wrung from the Celtic Irish, for the purpose of holding the lat ter in subjection. Never before was a cruel wrong more signally avenged. Never before was a selfish and mistaken policy ,more strikingly self-punished. The lawlessness of the maltreated and oppressed Celts is surpassed by the lawlessness of the very element relied on to subdue them. The very Seoteh-Saxon Protest ants planted in Ulster to keep the Irish quiet have become the savagest of rebels and the most unmanageable foes of pub lic order. The population of a single city in Ireland assumes to defeat all thorough measures for the mitigation of misrule which the imperial parliament proposes, and by way of allowing its power, attacks the local police, murders peaceable citizens, destroys private and public property, and holds the communi ty in « state of terror for eight weeks. inhabitants will have it so; they sympa thize with the rioters, they denounce from the pulpit the police for firing on the mob as an outrage on the people, and insist that tlie Celtic minority shall 1 e loft to the mercy of the ((range societies that assail them. “The British government has made great use of Protestant l ister in its long and cruel work of subjugating Ireland, Imt the retribution lias come at lust. Its own agents have turned against it. Protestant t’lster is givingit more trouble than all the Celtic ) upulution in the island; and it is becoming a serious ques tion w hether it may not become neces sary to the restoration of order and the maintenance of authority to destroy Bel fast entirely.” I'OMTMAI, POINTS. The Iowa republicans hold their convention next Wednesday. There were three ex-governors of Maine among the delegates to the anti-saloon conference at Chicago. A Boston paper intimates that something like the Arkansas Wheel would be a good thing to have around the Huh. President Cleveland will hear echoing through tlie Adirondack woods the endorsement of his administiatlon by various democratic conven tions. In south Boston several aspirants for an alder- manic nomination agreed to submit their claims to competitive examination, all but the succsss- ftil one to withdraw from the race. The exami nation covered the whole range of science, litera ture, the arts and politics. The talk about making ex-Postmnster-Genernl James the prohibitionist candidate for governor of New York is said by' that gentleman's friends to be unauthorized and unwarranted. Mr. Janies is said to be in sympathy with the objects of the prohibitionists, but unwilling to become their candidate for any office. General Neal Dow, the veteran prohibition agi tator of Maine, says that the organization of the independent prohibition party is now going on in every state in the Union. They propose to abandon their old plan of appealing to the state legislatures, and will in the future go directly to congress and ask for national supervision of the liquor traffic. They propose to run independent candidates for congress whenever practicable, and in 1888 will place a presidential ticket in the Held. The Mouth Coming Along. The south is moving along in the way of prog ress. Here is the way the Baltimore Journal of Commerce tells it: “In 1881 the total production ofpig iron in the United States was 4,641,564 tons, and in 1885, 4,529,869, a decrease of over 100,000 tons. Not withstanding this decrease in the whole country there was in the south a large increase, the pro duction there in 1885 being 712,885 tons, against 471,540 tons in 1861, or an increase of 241,000 tons. If we take the production of the three southern states, Virginia, Alabama and Tennessee, which are the chief iron producers of that section, a still more decided difference will be sdep. The production in these states compares ns follows: 1882. Tons. 18 5. Tons. Virginia 83,711 162,781 t Alabama 93.081 227.438 Tennessee 87,016 161,199 Total 268,838 552,419 “In these three states there lias been an in crease of over 100 per cent., against a large de crease In the whole country. Comparing 1880 and 1885, wc find that the production basin- creased in Virginia from 29,934 tons to 103,782 tons, or 447 per cent* in Tennessee from 70,873 tons to 161,199 tons, or 127 per cent., and in Ala bama from 77,190 tons to 227,438 toils, or 194 per portion of ! cent. There are now nearly a dozen new fur- 118 that tho ' nnees under construction in the south, and when completed they will make a very large additional increase in southern iron pr auction.” imniiianiHim.iyaa HEALTIFU1 & RELIABLE.
