Colonel Henderson, acting Com
missioner of the Internal Revenue
Bureau at Washington, has the bold !
ness to express his opinion of civil
service reform in the following plain
language: j " ' - - j
"The fact " that the Republican
incumbents are good clerks or good
officials is- not sufficient reason, in
my opinion, for their retention. The
only good reason I would be the im
possibility of filling their places with
Democrats as good.' I come from a
political State, - where the children
and; women enter the campaign, and
where for several months in the year
there is nothing done bnt campaign
ing. When we win the fight then
we j expect to reap the full bene
fits of victory. 1 We take j the same
view of a Presidential election,
that we do of a more local test.
The light of '84 was not all for the
mere sake of having a change of
Presidents; we wanted a change of
adminstration,' and the administra
tion includes every one employed in
the Federal service. So far as this
bureau is concerned, the collectors
and gangers and all the out-door
officers have been changed; in that
respect the service is . now demo
cratic; but at! headquarters here in
Washington the Republicans remain
in office and in the majority." j
That is precisely so. When we
win a fight our ; party expects to
"rfeap the full benefits of victory."
The fight ef 1884 was not merely to
beat Blaine and turn out Arthur, but
to turn all the rascals out, and put
good competent Democrats in.
Without that it was just no victory
at all. ' And yet, at headquarters in
Washington, ; "the Republicans re
main in office and in the majority."
President Cleveland and his Cabi
net should correct that crying evil
before the election of 1888 comes on.
Reanlta of High Tariff In Austria.
1 London Times. .
!A report by Mr. Phipps, her Ma
jeety 'a Secretary at Vienna, on the
trade of Austrian-Hungary has re
cently been published. From this
it appears that the high protective
tariffs are having a considerable' ef
fect in the reduction of imports.
The imports were valued in 1884 at
51,000,000; in 1885 they were only
46,500,000, and for 1886 they are
estimated at 45,600,000.: Russia
was responsible for the largest de
crease, but the decreases were also
very noticeable in the case of ' Great
Britain, ttermany and t ranee. Aus
tria is feeling keenly the effects of
the tariff war she is waging with
surrounding countries.' The customs
dues have risen from! Is 8d to 3s ?d
per head of the population, with a
simultaneous increase j of consump
tion dues from 3s Id to 6s 8d. The
Austrian exports declined from 57,
000,000 in 1884 to 55,000,000 in
1885, but it is anticipated that they
will reach 60,000,000 m 1886. In
1885 there was a decrease in value
of 10 to 20 per' cent, as compared
with 1884, and as compared with
1876 the decrease in value was no
less than 30 per cent, j The goods ex
ported to Great Britain from Austria
in 1885 were valued at 2,000,000,
and in 1886 at '1.500,000. 1 British
exports to Austrian territories were

Kentucky Dealers Complain that
the Department of Agriculture Over
estimate the A create-An Interview
with Statistical! Dodge of the- De
partment. " I f-' "' : r
By Telegraph to the Horning Star. :
I Washington, Aug. 22.4-A dozen gentle
men constituting a committee of Western
and Southern tobacco
men, called by
pointment , upon the
Commissioner
Agriculture this forenoon, and laid before
him their grievances in connection with
the recent report of stastitician J. R. Dodge,
upon the acreage of tobacco planted this
year, by which it is claimed the tobacco in
terest suffered a grievous loss. Ex-Congressman
Willis, of Louisiana, addressed
the Commissioner, setting forth in general
terms the inaccuracies of the report consist'
ing In an alleged erroneeua j over-estimate
of the acreage. - J. ji ;.: -
I Commissioner Coleman replied, warmly
eulogizing the statistician, describing the
gieaUweight given to his publications by
reason of their uniform accuracy . during
the course of twenty years connection with
the work, and repudiating most earnestly
and vigorously any j suspicion that impro
per influences could attach to him. A
mistake might have been ; made in one in
stance. It so an investigation would de
velop the fact, but should there prove to
have been one, he felt convinced it would
be found to be of the head alone. -
Mr. Henry Glover,, of Louisville, chair
man of the committee, briefly set forth the
grounds of the knowledge of the committee
and of tobacco men: generally, that the re
port of the Department stated the acreage
erroneously in excess of the facts, and ask
ed to be allowed to know what grounds
the statistician had for his estimate, if any.
He asked that Mr. j Dodge be present dur
ing further discussion of the matter, and
that the returns of the Department in this
regard D9 submitted to the Commissioner.
To these requests the Commssioner ac
ceded. J j , ! I . !
: - Mr. Dodge was sent for, and in reply" to
the inquiries of this committee, read an
exhaustive formal statement. He said he
welcomed the inquiry concerning the truth
of the statistics, for The assumed that , the
visit of the committee was solely in the in
terest of accuracy add the public welfare
in crop reporting. In the outset he would
say that the whispered insinuations of in
fluence on the part of the Commissioner of
Agriculture from personal and other con
siderations in shaping the estimate, were
unjust and cruel. The Commissioner was
not only far away add ; without any com
munication in this case, but be never at
tempted in the slightest degree to modify
crop reporting results for any purpose.
Mr. Dodge said he was arraigned in obe
dience to popular clamor, ' charged with
making estimates in certain western States
smaller than had been made for years, bnt
yet too large to suit the present views of
the committee and its clients. He was
charged with making such estimates with
out a f crap of information on the subject
from any quarter.) He had overwhelming
data, which must! be satisfactory to. the
committee, for the disproval of such
charges. Really, the charge of high esti
mate was an after thought. Virtually he
was held responsible for the effects of the
droughts of which he had no knowledge
until near a month after the original re
turns of acreage! were made He could
furnish authority for the estimate and
could show that the acreage was not the
area growing, and! to which the tobacco
men now refer. Do had early learned
that the comparative acreage was never
fully reported, and 1 in tobacco, which
is heavily taxed, the failure is most con
spicuous.' For example, the cotton aere
age now assumed to be 18 million, would
have been scarcely 1 10 if the returns had
been accepted without revision. Between
1870 and 188. the extraordinary under es
timate of .tobacco' attracted his attention
and became a source of anxiety, and an
noyance. . The census results of consump
tion and distribution j showed how much
too low the originals were. 1 They required
an addition of 38 per cent to the area and
39 per cent, to the product. An example
of the tendency, which would be apprecia
ted, was to be found in the fact that the
Auditor of Kentucky published sworn re
turnes of. assessors! for 1879, making an
aggregate of 109,859,426 pounds as the
product of the State. The enumerators
found 171.120.784j
pounds, and the corn
received the result. It,
mercial movement
therefore, required
an addition of 56 per
cent, to the State 'returns to make the cen
sus aggregate. It
the Statu autohrities
failed to make full
returns by 56 per cent.
and all previous returns had been defective.
on what authority was bis right aenvea to
make any allowance in revision such as
proved to bo neceassary.
Mr. Dedge then explained his method of
reaching his conclusions, and said that the
estimates under discussion were made in
accordance with the usual custom, which
had proved reliable and which agreed sub
stantialy with all jState officials, with one
exception, and with regard to that State
less than two-thirds of the former tobacco
crops had been officially reported. Indeed,
the letter from the Auditor of Kentucky
fairly acknowledged the proverbial defi
ciency of the State returns, when he says,
"they are not gathered with care and are
greatly under the truth." The original
corrected acreage of per . centage of last
year's area, as reported by county corres
pondents, was not quite so high as reported
by the Department or by State officials, but
it was nearly twite as much as the area
now claimed by J the committee to be the
area growing. Some of the State returns
were so abominably low as to suggest the
presence of panic to an unusual degree, re
quiring allowances such as every State and
national authority in statistical collections
had found to be necessary.
Mr. Dodge here referred to reports from
correspondents in a great many counties,
showing the greatly reduced acreage by
reason of the drought. -The
committee stoutly maintained that
he was confusing acreage with product;
that acreage meant simply and always the
area originally devoted by the farmer to
tobacco, and that the area could never and
under no consideration be subsequently re
ported as less in extent, whatever might
be the influence which prevailed to lessen
the product. I ' 1
Commissioner Coleman, in reply to this,
read an editorial assertion from the Louis
ville Home Journal, to the effect that inves
tigation showed largely decreased acreage
on account of the drought.
To this Mr. Glover retorted, first, that
the Journal was incorrect; secondly, that
the reduction) alleged was as, compared
with the lower estimate of the tobacco men,
and not as compared with the Department's
reports. .. , ; !
During thp colloquy which followed
the committee stoutly declared the unim
peachable accuracy of their own esti
mates, based as they were upon letters from
25,000 or 80,000 of growers, and upon the
census taken by agents of their own who
personally travelled, through the tobacco
districts.- I - ! I : -
The Commissioner and Mr. Dodge, with
out admitting that the Department's report
was incorrect, substantially admitted the
nossibilitv that an over-estimate had been
made, but

A
inquiries now in progress
good deal was said about a letter written
by Mr. Dodge and published, which as
sumed that the present complaint bad its
origin in : the speculator. Mr. Dodge ad
mitted that he wrote under the sting of un
just criticism, and that some of his obser
vations might better have been unsaid.
Considerable interest was shown by the
committee I in learning wKo the Depart
partments correspondents are. ;

Washington. D. C. Aug. 23.
Hon. Norman J. Coleman, Commis
sioner of Agriculture;
In accordance with your direction I have
consolidated the August returns, already re
ceived, and reviewed all the data, together
with that upon which the July toDacco re
port was based, especially for Kentucky,
relative to which a ereat difference of opin
ion has existed and much interest excited,
as that Bute is the most prominent in to
bacco growing, usually producing about
four-tenths of the product of the United
States. - j i -ii . -..: ; '
I find that the late returns, so far as re
ceived, make an average of only 41.5 per
cent of lastj year's acreage, while private
returns from over 16.000 growers of west
ern tobacco, reporting their own area
in cultivation this year, in comparison with
their acreage last year, make an area of
even less than 40 per cent. The July re
port for Kentucky, which was based upon
returns of 68 correspondents, each repre
senting a county, made an acreage of. 53
per cent, of that of 1886. - An examination
of these reports, and in view of the results
ofloDg experience of the tendency to under
estimate acreage, led me to place the Ken
tucky acreage at 78 per cent. Recent re
turns have very clearly shown that a con
certed effort was made to reduce the area
this year, on account of. recent low and
unremuneratlve prices, and unfavorable
conditions have affected the plant beds and
drought has; interfered with setting and
growth, to such an extent as to render in
accurate rules for revision usually adopted
which have heretofore proved to be correct
and necessary. I am, therefore, satisfied
that the July estimates were too high as
reported in indications of recent reports of
this department. The . Ohio . board, and
other authorities, point to a very low aver
age.. i - !

Ostend. Aug. 24. Two of the men
wounded in the affray yesterday between
Belgian and English fishermen have sinee
died. A number of the Belgian fishermen
to day seized two English boats and re-
fused to give them up. They were fired
upon by the police and four of them I were
wounded, one fatally. . " p '
Rioting was renewed later In the day. In
endeavoring to quell the disturbance the
authorities resorted to the uso of artillery,
killing two of;the rioters and wounding
several four seriously. The Civic Guards
had been superseded -by military detach
ments who i have taken possession of the
quays. A proclamation has been issued for
bidding the assembling of crowds. ;
Maxcbestbb, Aug. 24 The Guardian's
commercial article says: Although the mar
ket has presented generally a firmer ap
pearance, the tone has been quiet' Pro
ducers hoped that the stronger condition
of cotton on Monday would stimulate buy
ing, but their expectations were not ful
filled, and the demand has been slow; The
reason I for this is evident; buyers have
found that despite short crops of cotton in
the past two or three years the sup
ply of cloth has been sufficient
and that efforts to raise the prices
on the strength of reports of insufficient
crops, have usually proved a failure. They
are. therefore, indisposed to take fright at
reports of a small crop in the United States,
in view of the accounts received earlier in
the season, which reported .the largest
acreage known and a rarely equalled fa
vorable season. The market is more than
ever dependent upon the .condition of the
distributing centres. ?
Yarn is generally quiet; exporters have
placed but few prders; the home demand is
poor; buyers are increasing in caution.
Cloth is generally steady, :; the inquiry for
India rather lessening than increasing.
Native dealers are reported, somewhat dis
couraged by the recent advance in ex
change, fearing that it will be followed by
a decline in rupee prices. There is little
inquiry for goods, China merchants having
bougnt ratner freely. Better makes or
shirtings and sheetings are in moderate in
quiry. For higher grades of printing and
other finishing cloths . prices are weaker.
Common and medium are steady, and the
demand is slow.

Hundreds of Deaths In Urest Virginia
Produced by tbe Drougbt Not a
Family Exempt from tbe Disease.
Chicago, Aug. 24. A special from Hin
ton; W. Va , says:
Information received here from McDow
ell county is to the effect that a dreadful
state of affairs exists in that portion of the
Bute, add Southwestern Virginia. The
drought has made the waters very low, and
a disease, which has several times previous
ly followed this condition, and which is
supposed to be the result of the minerals in
the water, .hs broken out. In tbe Dead
Horse Cave 'neighborhood there are over
one hundred cases with thirty deaths. Not
a family has escaped. The crops are neg
lected and farm work is at a stand-still,
it requiring the entire time of every indivi
dual able to labor to care for the sick and
dead. It is estimated that two hundred
people have died in McDowell county alone
within tbe last four weeks from the dis
ease. . ' - :
I j Tbe Dellgnt of tbe Ladles,
because it enhances their, charms tenfold.is
SOZODONT. with which no dentifrice
Can compare. It checks premature decay
of the teeth, completely removing tartar
from their surf aces, interstices and cavities,
Whitening them, rendering the gums
healthy and . coralline and the breath as
balmy as th odor of flowers. Thegrttty
and acid properties which render many
tooth powders and washes objectionable
are not to be found in SOZODONT, Ame
rica'a favorite teeth restorative. f

There is not much to Bay of the market.!
The old goods are running out well, and
the occasional parcels of new received find
sales at well defined prices, indicating the
recent position as well sustained. The re
ceipts South are steadily increasing with
out forming accumulations, or the produc
tion of the mills readily absorbed by trade
demand. This week will show probably
mills generally at work South, therefore
enlarged supplies of clean goods. Belter
assortments here of new may be soon ex
pected. The following are the quotations :

can be maintained, except strong advices
should be received from the South, assisted
by increased foreign demands. Rosins not

BABY HUMORS
And all Skin and Scalp Dis
eases Speedily Cured by
Cutlcura. . j
Odr little son will be four years of aire on tbo
25th Inst. In May, 18S5, he was attacked with a.
very painful breaking out of the skin.' We called '
in a physician who treated htm for about four
weeks. The child reoelved little or no good
from the treatment, as the breaking out, sup
posed bv the physician to be hives in an aggra
vated form, became larger In blotches, and mora
and more distressing. We were frequently
obliged to get up In the nieht and nib him with
soda in water, strong liniments, eto. Finally, wo
called other physicians, until no less than sis had
attempted to cure him, all alike falling, and the
child steadily getting worse and worse, until
about the 20th of last July, when we began to
give him Ctrricmu. Rjsolvknt Internally, and the.
Cuticuba. and Cuticura Soaf externally, and by
the last of August he was so nearly well that we
gave him only one dose of the Kbsolvent about
every seoond day for about ten days longer, and
he has never been troubled since with the hor
rible malady J In all we used lees than one half
of a bottle Of Cuticura Besolvknt, a little less
than one box of Cuuicuba, and only one cake ot
Cuticuba Soap.
