One of the most important of the indus
tries recently developed is the expectation
Of fresh meat from the United States to
England and its sale at remunerstive prices
in London markets. Canada has sent 100
head of oxen on their feet, which have ar
rived in Liverpool in excellent condition:
but this is step backward rather than
forward, for they must inevitably lose flesh
while tossed on the sea, and all they eat is
therefore dead loss. A Joint of the New
York beef has been sent to the Queen, who
returned courteous photographic acknowl-
edgment. The Prince of Wales and the
Lord Mayor of London pronounce the I'M
ported American fresh meat equal to the
English article. 1t can be sold at profit in
English cities at sixteen to eighteen cents a
pound, while English beef sells at twenty
to twenty-five cents. The result will in
evitably be the reduction in the price of all
meats and the possibility of the British
workman eating the savory steak oftener
than once year, We will not be churlish
enough to inquire why our meat raisers do
not sell these steaks in New York at the
prices for which they can offer them in
English markets after adding the freight.
Let them SO on and supply the foreign mar
ket at the lowest living price and New York
markets will have to follow suit. Why do not
our Western farmers go into the Bologna
sausage business and drive all other manu-
fscturers from the MARKET The four States

the great lakes west of the Alleghanies are
tbs pOrkers' paradise, and they have every
facility for supplying not only American
American cities, but the pretzeLeating CEN
tres of Europe, with the popular sausage of
commerce. Is there not in this successful
development of a new industry a hint to

Yesterday morning stranger from up
the1akes entered a saloon on Larned street
and invited three men to drink with him.
When they had turned their glasses up he
asked what was to pay, and the barkeeper
said it was ten cents apiece.
'All right. -Four times ten are fifty six,
and here's the cash, " responded the man.
The saloon keeper didn't want to take
but forty cents, but the stranger insisted
that the bill was fifty.six, paid It, and went
off happy. He returned in half an hour,
and as he re-entered the place the proprle-
tor remarked:
'Ah, thought you would soon discover
your mistake"
''Fm poor man, but as honest as the
collie is annoying" replied the stranger.
81 didn't pay you enough. Four times ten
are sixty-three, and here's the balance of
your money"
The man wasn't drunk, and he seemed to
be so decided that the barkeeper received
the additional seven cents, saying, however,
that he stood ready to accept forty cents
for his bill. The man went out again, but
in less than an hour he came back, gave
the door heavy kick, and as he entered he
called out:
"You are a nice old swindler, you are
You knew l didn't figure that right, and
yet you let me go OHt of here and didn't
make me goodp
II only wanted forty cents" mildly re-
piled the salOOnist.
"And you won't get it! see now where
was wrong. Four times ten are twenty
seven, and two to carry makes twenty mine
and if you don't give me back the right
change I'll make your shoulders break your
Fibsl"
"YOu are wrong again, my friend" an.
swered the saloonist. -Four times"
"I'm wrong. Ell n hOwled the stranger
drawing off has coat and kicking one of his
boots across the room.
The disguised proprietor handed him
back all his money, and was glad to get rid
of him at that fgure.-DetrOit Free Press.

Superior Criminal Court.


Yesterday lot of Democratic bummers
in Ohio and Indiana initiated the famous
march and counter-march of the King of
France. They marched to the State capital
and then marched back again. The per-
fOrmanoe was done to order. The note of
alarm had been sounded from Washington
1t said that the leading Southern members
were inclined to accept the election of
Hayes, and that the Northern members had
no plan and were irresolute, and that unless
q war cry was raised from the country all
was lost to the Democracy, and there would
be peace and quiet to the country.
Thereupon the party machinery was set
at work to fabricate an appearance of ex-
citement in the Democratic masses. 1t was
as much machine performance as the
sheet iron thunder Of the theatre. But in
vain doth the fowler spread the net in sight
of the bird. The wire-wOrkers who ordered
this demonstration know that it is fabri-
Gated. The persons who make it, and all
who behold it, know it is fabricated to or
der. All know that is fraud, and there
fore it cheats nobody.
We call it the gathering of the hummer
Democrats, because the county meetings,
to work up this fraud. have been conspiou
Gus for the absence of the respectable Dor
ton of the party, and of all who had any
thing to lose, save the few who manage such
things, and follow politics as trade. The
EeSOIubOBB OF tnolr meetings express simply
the desire of these for Office. No one looks
to them to declare either facts or law on
popular sentiment. They would overturn
the constitution, and all their own prece-
dents to elect Tilden now, and they would
repudiate this method next time, to over
throw the peoples election of q Repub.
lican.
And the same persons that pretend to de-
nounce the Louisiana Returning Board
upon the pretext that it gave certificates
to electors who had not received the major
ity of the votes, pay special honors to Gov
ernOr Grover, because he illegally gave q
certificate to person who did not Teeeive q
majority of the votes. The chief Demo
cratic hero at this time-the only Democrat
who receives party ovation wherever he
goes-is the Governor who tried to cheat
the majority of the voters of Oregon cut of
an eleotor, in order TO elect Tilden by the
fraud.
Realizing the shame and the impotence
of their demonstrations, they now propose
mass gathering at Washington, to super
wise the counting of the vote. We suspect
that the more they demonstrate the more
they will cause sober-minded men in their
own party to devise q settlement by acqui.
escence in the election of Hayes, and that
their open declaration of an intent to over
throw the legal election by intimidation
will only make the supporters of law and
order more resOlute.-CinciHnGi Gasette.

ants. General Grant has been wise and
cautious from the first He has taken no
step backward. He has followed the great
thought that, under the constitution of the
United States, his first obligation was to
the loyal men of the South. That constitu-
ton and its amendments command him to
make that discrimination. The rebels or
ex COnfederates fully understand him, and,
at the same time, understand Themselves
They know, all of them, that they have
forfeited all right TO Justice, not simply
because they fought against their country
in the rebellion, but because, withoutRex
ceptiOn, they have combined to over
throw the very amendments and laws
under which they we're forgiven their trea-
son. Had they carried the country in 1877 5
by the panic majority which gave them the
House of Representatives in 1874 they
would have discarded these considerations;
but beaten in the elections in November
last, and only entitled to ghostly claim to
the Presidency by the fraudulent votes Of
rebel States, they naturally adjust them
selves to a consideration Of the facts of the
man among them that does not know not
simply that they have lost Georgia, LOnisi-
ana, North Caroline, Alabama and Arkan-
sas in the late election, but that their claim
to Louisiana, Florida and South Carolina is
so insOlent and audaCious that the Repub-
liean recognition of these States on the side
of Hayes and Wheeler will be accepted by
them as grateful rescue.-Philaaeiphi G

favorable as its advocates would desire,
and it is pretty certain tho bill will not re-
ceive as much support when reported IS ID
did in the last Congress. 1t is known that
several members of the committee voted
against reporting the bill, and one voted for
it in committee with the understanding that
he should be free to oppose its passage in
the House. 1t Is asserted that the bill will
not receive from the Southern members that
unanimous support which its friends claim
for it. A majority Of the members from
Georgia, Alabama and Kentucky, and 4
number from Mississippi and Texas, are
said to be against lite passage, and its sup
port from Louisiana win depend upon the
location Of certain tormini which are desired
By the delegation from that State. The
failure to secure the necessary Southern
support win aTine from the provisions for
connections with Northern roads this eide
, the Mississippi.
