LONDON, Dec. 22.-The Rtrietr thinks
it probable that the House of Commons
may be asked TO make IN extra grant
for military and naval purposes. The
anticipation of the usual period for the
meeting of Parliament is in some re-
spocts unfortunate. though it will pro-
b"hly admit Of justification.
The Spectator believes the real mean
ing of tho summons Of Parliament is
Lord Heacensfeld desires to encourage
the Turks to continue tho struggle in
the hope Of ultimate British assistance,
and that the Turks will so interpret it;
that England. when it comes to the
point, will decline to fight for the
Turks, who will ut last be compelled to
purchase pence by withdrawing TO their
natural home ia Asia.

A Hint to Advertisers.

The Burlington Hawkeye truly
says: A standing advertisement ia
&. newspaper, set boldly out, attracts
q good deal of attention and be
comes transfxed in the mind of the
reader. 1t may not be noticed at
first, but after awhile the lines grow
familiar to the eye and become
stamped upon the mind. The adj
vantage is made apparent ia this
way. The subscriber in the course
of time wants something in the line
of goods kept by the man whose
advertisement he is familiar with.
He naturally visits the man who ad
vertises and buys what he wants,
for though he may never have been
inside the place before, he feels
thoroughly acquainted with every
thing about it, and free from that
embarrassment which no one likes
to show when on a shopping tour.
A good advertisement kept constant
ly in a paper is like finger board
at a cross road-it removes all diff
Guilty in finding the right place"
To which the Maquoketa Sentinel
adds the following: '"The above is
all very true, and we may add more.
Some of our patrons say, Il don't
want a standing advertisement; /
will invest in locals But few men
in the hurry of business attend to
sending in locals to weekly news
paper regularly. and much Of the
time are not represented. This
Western country is constantly being
peopled with new corners. They
come with money and stop with ac-
quaintances. The country paper is
the first thing asked for. If the ju-
dicious advertiser is represented by
a judicious advertisement, he may
profit thereby, but if his face in the
way of type has been omitted, and
the locals forgotten, as they of
ten are the newcomer when he !
goes to purchase his outfit will look
for the sign of the store which he
found announced in the standing |
ads. They are taken as an index |
TO business places just as much as
the painted sign or the goods dis
played in 'front.' Locals in connec-
ton with an advertisement, fire.

two should go together, and in the
end prove the most profitable

Grant for 1880.

A special Washington dispatch in
the Baltimore Sun, says that zone
of the most intimate friends of Cen
eral Grant says that the European
tour of Grant and the honors which
are showered upon him Will be but
the prelude to greater fonors to
await him on his return to the
United States. He says that if
General Grant remains abroad, as
he probably will, for two years, on
his return the American people will
have become so enthusiastic over
him that he will inevitably be nomi-
mated and elected President Ia 1880.
He says that in every speech made
by General Grant in England, he
shows that he is looking ahead to
1880, and he instances particular the
speech made by the General on
Tuesday,of last week, to the London
workingmen. This speech, he says,
while addressed to the ears of
English workingmen, was intended
to meet the eyes of the workingmen
of America, and to be treasured up
in their hearts. In connection with
this statement made by one who
possesses General Grants fullest
confidence, it is significant to note
the expressions which are dropped
by the adroit and scrupulous men
who have controlled National Re-
publican politics from this point
since the war. Most all of these
men are now outspoken in their hos
tility and distrust of President
Hayes. They say he has ruined
the Republican party, and that the
only man who can lead it to victory
in 1880 is Grant, the man who saved
it before"

Gov. John c. Brown, of the Louisi-
ana Commission, has been misrepre
sented in sensational dispatches and
paragraphs which -purport to give
his statements and opinions relative
to the prosecution of the members

He says that all the pledges or

substantially contained in the reso-
lutions Of the Legislature and the
letter of Gov. Nichols, both OF
which are on Bile in the State De

report of the Commission TO the

has expressed no opinions as to
who have promoted these prosecu-

The news from Cuba is not fat
tering to the military ability of Gen
eral Martinez Campos, upon whose
strategic skill the Spanish Govern
ment relies for the subjugation of
the refractory island. The rebel
General Maxine Gomez has again
crossed the trochiaS, or military bar
riers erected by the Spaniards across
the island, and has penetrated into
the Cinco Villas, the richest part of
Cuba, fighting King Alfonso's
troops and defeating them with
great loss. In addition to Campos'
troubles of military nature, the
yellow fever has broken out with
great violence among his troops, and
awaits with it's beautiful. hand the
coming of the $4,000 fresh troops,
recently ordered from Spain. When
Campos took command, last fall, he
brought with him re endorsements
to the extent of $4,000 men. OF
these, between ten and fifteen thous-
and have already persisted by battle
and disease, the latter proving the
greatest destroyer, as the Spanish
troops go 20 the island entirely un
accustomed to the climate. The
expense of prosecuting the war
against the Cubans is estimated in
Madrid at about 100000 month
in gold, or at the present price of
gold, about S6,0OO,O00 in currency,
a terrible financial load for Gov
eminent hopelessly in debt, and
which has paid no interest on
SPANS public debt for years. I he
whole revenue of the custom house
in Cuba has been pledged as secrity
for a loan of $25,0OO,000 obtained
by Spain last year, and as the devas-
tation of the island continues. it is
evident that this pledge of custom
dues will prove worthless ere long
Last year General Salamanca made
a speech before the Spanish Parlia
ment, in which he said the Cuban
war had cost Spain, up to that time,
81, SOC, 100000 and that there was
due the soldiers $24, 900, 600. These
figures have greatly increased
within the last year. The financial
stringency at Havana is now report
ed to be terrible Courier journal.

The Wheat Crop.
St. Louis Republican.

CL- LOUIS AcpuOllCdu-
The enormous crop of wheat har
vested and being harvested in the
country is beginning to make an
impression on the market. About
10000 bushels of new grain was re-
ceived in the city yesterday from
the Southern States 1t is not
quite up to the standard of No. 2
winter, but it is fine example of
what the South can do in wheat
growing under favorable conditions.
The receipts yesterday, together
with the prospect of still larger re-
ciepts from the Southern States.
caused decline of10 cents a bushel,
the highest bid for No. . winter
being 81 ,374-a little more than half
the price it was run up to a few
weeks. ago. The state of the mar
ket was further illustrated by the
sale of July wheat at $1,25 and
August at $1,21. Evidently we have
a-year of cheap bread before us-and
cheap bread is a blessing that can
not be over estimated At first
view it might seem a misfortune to
farmers that they should have to
sell their grain at low prices; but
low prices for grain mean low prices
