BEEF IN ENGLAND.

The following, taken from an Eng
Iish paper, explains inself. Those
who are interested in the exporta
ton of beef and live stock, may wish
to know something about the senti-
ment across the sea upon the sub.
ject:
Last week deputation from the
Royal Agricultural Society waited
upon Lord Beconsfeld and repre-
sented to him that it was of exceed.
ing Importance that the importation
of live cattle for food purposes should
only be permitted under certain
stringent regulations. Our readers
will remember that DR.. Chaplin said
something to the same effect day or
two ago. 1t is hardly to be believed,
but it is fact nevertheless, that what
we may call town papers, the repre-.
senta.ives in journalism of Manches.
ter and the other great towns, con-
tlnus to advocate simple freedom
of trade between Great Britain and
the Continent. The answer to this
is, first, that we find that when we
restrict the movement of cattle in
land, say under dread of cattle
plague, we kill all the other costly
diseases to which our domesticated
animals are subject. Pleuro and
foot and mouth disease both disap-
pear when you take action against
cattle plague. That ought to teach
us that the best thing we can do to
increase our food supply is to pro.
mblt the importation Of all live ami
mails for food purposes. Why should
they be driven from point to point of
the Continent, then shipped to us,
and after that kept until they are
again fit for slaughter? We add to
our expenses in the feeding and
keeping, and after that get worse
meat than we should have had if we
had determined that we would only
take dead meat from our neighbors.
The reason why there are not better
things done is that we have vested
interests concerned, and that these
vested interests mean to take care
of themselves, without regard to the
needs or the well-being of the COM
munity at large.

OHIO.

What is called the Republican victory
in Ohio has dwindled down to insignifi.
cant proportions, The Republicans do,
indeed, technically carry the state since
their candidate for Secretary is elected.
But he has no ma GRITTY Of 10000, and
as conjectured last week indeed, he has
not a majority at all, but only plurality
of B, l54, which is very snail advantage
to boast of in an aggregate vote Of $685.
900. The sum of the votes cast for
the Democrats, National and Prohibition
candidates exceeds the Republican vote
by A, $3.50 it cannot be asserted til 1T
they have actually carried the state after
all. But there is another fact to be sta
ted they lose three members of congress,
They present delegation stands: Demo
coats, II Republicans The dew delega-
ton elect will stand, II Democrats, Re-
publicaus. The net result of the elec-
ton, therefore, is the Republicans gain a
secretary OF state, supreme Judge and
a member of the board Of public works,
and the Democrats gain three members
OF congress the real advantage being on
the side Of the Democrats. Louis
