WHAT AMERICAN COMPETITION Is
DOING.

The London Times of January 4th
in its financial article has the follow
ing: ut seems from recent articles
in the Moscow Gazette that great
stagnation prevails in the grain trade
in southern Russia. Russian agri-
culture and commerce are threatened
with q collapse. Chief among the
causes is the keen competition of
America since the civil war in that
country. The British import Of
American wheat has increased until
it stands now where Russian importa-
ton stood in 1869. Then Russia
sent out 44-100 Of her total import,
and the United States only 4. In
1873 the United States sent out A.
100, and Russia only ~. This does
not represent a decrease to that e.
tent Of Ruasia's total exports. On
the contrary, they have slightly in
creased but Americas have increas-
ed much faster. Thscauses are de-
clared to be chiefly sAmeric&'s Sd

A POWER THAT SHOULD BE
ABRIDGED,

A striking illustration Of the ex-
tent to which the pardoning abuse
is carried on is furnished by Govern
or Beverage, Of Illinois, who during
the thirteen months ending Decem-
Der 81, 1875, released one hundred
and thirty.four criminals, or an aver
age Of about ten a month. Of this
number are seventeen murderers, IN.
Guiding seven for life; eight persons
convicted of manslaughter; four of
assault to kill; sixteen of burglary: :
nine Of rape seven Of arson; and
the remainder of robbery, larceny,
forgery, bigamy, counterfeiting, etc.
Many of these criminals are of the
worst kind-men with VIGOROUSLY
bad records, and who have served
terms in different prisons. No crime
seems to place them beyond the reach
of executive clemency, even though
the term of their sentence has Just
begun, and a pardon is easily
procured upon request Of some local
politician Of real or supposed inAu-
ence. The official records show that
good behavior is rather bar to IA
vor with the Governor; prisoners of
this kind being left to serve out their
sentences-possibly because they are
able to bring no pressure" to bear
upon His Excellency through politi-
cal friends.
Illinois may furnish an extreme
case Of the ease and facility with
which pardons of the worst class Of
criminals are obtained without any
sufficient cause, but there il too free
a use Of the pardoning power in al
most all the States What We see
done in Illinois is possible in any
other State. All depends upon the
makeup of the Governor. He may
release prisoners about as fast as the
courts can try aud convict them, and
society is powerless to protect itself:
Justice becomes a mockery, and a
somewhat expensive one. Respect
for law ends when its penalties are
not to be dreaded-when criminals,
after lengthy trials, are carried to
prison one day only to lie bowed out
by the Governor the next.
Minnesota has been comparatively
fortunate in this particular, but even
in this State there have been occa-
sions for just complaint, although the
offenders liberated have been guilty
Of low grades of crime: But the
pardoning power as it may be and
too often is exercised is too great.
1t should be abridged. It takes
away from society one of its strong.
est safeguards, and a weak OF venal
man in the Governors chair may
do an almost infinite amount of harm.
We believe this to be a proper mat.
ter for Legislative consideration. Ac
ton may better be taken now, thar
when 1t is forced by the evils which
are as yet largely but anticipated. I

Weekly Letter OF Shredder, Lindblom Co
MILWAUKEE, january Sth, 1876.

The course Of the wheat market dur
ing the week demonstrates that present
low prices are maintained by continued
liberal short sales. and that legitimate
tendency even now is up. All short sales
are made for No wheat, and it is
singular that while this grade has re-
manned depressed, other grades have
advanced from to ) cents per bushel.
1t will not do to SAY that this is owing
wholly to legitimate demand for the
better grades OF wheat, as No. and re-
iec,ed have also advanced fully 3 cents
per bushel; but the conclusion is forced
on us that the speculative grade No.
~ is depressed by the operations OF snort
sellers. and AS the short seller is under

All the signs of severe winter have this
week been dissipated hy the continuance OF
the thaw, accompanied with much fog, and an
occasional morning frost. The difference in
the weather, however, has not permitted the
resumption of field labor, except in light soils
favorably situated and therefore, ". remain
with much work IN arrears for the spring.
There has Is yet been nothing 70 hurt the
plants well up, and let Us hope the futureso :
ings will do we'll. Our weekly deliveries con-
tinue to repeat the tale Of very deficient yield,
but this iAct is still overborne by the ample
supplies from abroad, which have been fully
80 PER cent above those Of last year from the fst
Of September. The returning damp has been
further against the trade, and several markets
note decline of Is per q; and till Christmas
has fairly passed, and clear frosty weather sets
