aTINE PROSPECT.

Commenting upon the Stewart grave
robbing, the Philadelphia Times shows mp
in the following ironical paragraph the
efficiency-or ineffciency-of the best
police force in the world" Its remarks
are decidedly good, and the best OF 1t is
they are Just about true:
A flood of light has been shed on the rob.
hery of the Stewart grave. The police have
out by the way OF the church porch and that
they climbed over the font fence. They
have also discovered dog who Is said To
know something about II, but the dog Is too
shrewd TO tell until he knows more about
Hiltons $1,000. The gentlemen who per
eeiyed on a ferry-boat an odor which they
recognized as that OF the missing corpse are
paiped 10 lind that IL proceeded from the Dag
rage of rag-picker. Now that Judge Hit
IONS offer of "A reward has been made there l.
little doubt that a body Will be iound, per
haps several of Ihem. There is talent enough
in this direction to get ready 10 order bodies
of any size, weight, pattern and degree OF
decompOSition. There Il but one possible
way OF Identifying Mr.. Stewards body
namely, by the teeth, and that only in case
his dentist can positively testify TO some re,
mark cable peculiarly. The Offering OF 81
large a reward as $4,000 is a stimulus TO the
industry of the ingenious and marked en-
couragement TO all who have designs on the
graves OF the wealthy. Heretofore, BODY
snatchers have sought only fresh coTpses

A MAJORITY FOR INGALLS,.

An article which We copy elsewhere this
morning from the Atchison Champion,
which we regard as reliable, states that
enough is already known OF the compost
ton of the next Legislature TO show that
very handsome majority of the whole num-
ber OF members elected are in favor Of SEN
ator Ingalls,, as his own successor. Thai
Mr.. Ingalls, will be reelected, now seems to
be a foregone conclusion, and the mos,
authentic reports as to the senatorial prefer.
ences of the men elected to the next legisla-
tive render it reasonably certain that the
choice will be effected without a protracted
contest. From what is already known oi
the sentiments of those who will constitute
the next legislature, it is no more than
fair presumption that he will be
reelected without Republican op'
position, since having a clear majority in
both houses to start with, no competition
will care to enter the race in The face o
certain defeat. Whether this shall prove
true or not, it certsinIy ought to Be 20, fol
. man who has served the Stsie "a ably and
faithfuly . Mr. IneallA and with . much
credit TO himself and his cUnstituents
should be chosen to seccud term without
an opposing vote il his osn party, By
pursuing such = cou,.s Kansas would no
only confer . meritted compliment upon al
able, faithful and deserving public servant
but would honor herself bv showing TO the
country that she does not propose to sacri
fee her best men to satisfy the greed o
place hunters or the revenge of dissppoint-
cd politicians.

The Philadelphia Times never tires IN
the good work of heaping compliments up,
ON the head of the Commissioner OF Agri-
cuIture-a Kindness which the good man
who furnishes the seeds of government new
er seems to recognize. In the Times oil tie
10Th We find the following:
II is very home-like TO read that Mrs. Hayes
has had the =, hite House cellar fitted up win
potato bins shelves Tor pumpkins squashts'
and other products OF the farm II ely 10 De
pe-ded TO refresh the administration during
the winter. 1t is a little remarkable, howrN-
err after a year or more of Commissioner Ie
Duo in the Agricultural Bureau, that squash
es and pumpkins and potatoes are the only
things that the excellent mistress OF the
White House has TO put away IN the cellar
An expectanI migh re asonably want TO kno"
what mas become of all the bamboo and bon
hons and other things which lie Due has been
raising right along and which no good house
Keeper would fail TO have IN the cellar when
winter sets in. II pumpkins and potatoes
are all the White House needs II seems "a
though we could get along with a less com
nIicaIed Comm issioner of Agriculture.

GRANT As TANNER.

A correspondent of the New York Herald
had an interview with Mr.. Corbin, Gen.
Grants brother in-law, a few days ago,
which is printed in the Herod Of the llth.
The ONLY notable feature of it is the state
ment by Mr.. Corbin that the story oi
the Generals connection with the tanning
business is erroneous, and he does not know
how it originated. He does know, howev'
er, that General Grant never was tanner
and was never in any manner engaged II
that trade. Mr.. Corbin does not believe
that the e1 President is at all desirous o
returning to his old duties at Washington
and does not consider that the Republican
party is dependent on any individual. L
circumstances should 80 shape as to con
vince the party that Grant would be tn
strongest candidate, and to make the lie
publican National Convention desirous
nominating him, he does not doubt tha
the General would regard it as duty t
accept. In other words, should the Demo
Gratis through their folly need tanning
in 1880 for the good Of the country, the
Grant would go into the business in earnes
as he did in the days of the rebellion.

Little Rock Democrat.


For several months, among the many
wood-choppers working for the railroad
company al and in the vicinity OF Poplar
Bluff, there has been, one, trim, very
smooth faced f5llow, especially noticeable.
lie Was popular with all his associa e.,
owing, perhaps, to his boyish ways and his
strais shtforward bearing. He did not in
dulge in the use OF intoxicating liquors,
aud night after night, as the men We're
grouped around the camp fire, his CHEEKY
voice, as he sang the rude ballads OF his
companions, made the forest ring. About
ten DAYS since he fell a victim TO The chills
and lever, and, while deiirions, his attend
ant made the discovery that their favOrite
was a won an in disguise. At night, on the
return OF the choppers TO the camp, the
information was impaired, and the next
day the girl was carried to Poplar Bluff,
where, under the care Of the physician, she
soon recovered. Her occupation gone, she
found herself an object OF suspicion and Gu
riosity. Unable 10 obtain work suitable to
her sex, few nights since she donned her
.'old clothes" and came to Judsonia, where
she is again at her old occupation-driving
team. The girl, when questioned as TO her
reasons for leading the life she toes, an.
swered frankly that she cannot obtain en-
ployment suitable for woman, and that as
a man she receives much larger pay than
she would as a common domestic.

The returns % foreign commerce from

hat that the exports OF domestic produce
steadily outrun the imports oil foreisn
goods. Last year, at a corresponding date
the imports had reached S275,1i2,O4i' Oh
about thir,y-three and half millions more
than the exports. This year the imports
have fallen off to S250,612 .695. while the

Change.


The search for the body of Alexander I.
stewart and the thieves who desecrated his
grave sill continues, bat the police give no
,ign of any decided progress toward sue
cess. Briefly summed up. the case stands
precisely a. it did ON Saturday. The route
taken by the thieves ia leaving the ceme-
cry has been ascertained, but at the point
where they rea' he'd the pavement in tenth
street the trail stops short and all Is a
blank beyond. The clew about whic the
thirteenth precinct police made 70 much
mystervon Saturday turns out TO be no
c!ew at all, and so another theory what
ever it may have been, disappears. While
we are disposed 10 give the police authori-
ties due credit for energy in their search
We cannot refrain from calling attention 10
the f.ct that none of the actors in the start
ling crimes lately committed in this city
have been aPprehend.d, and the Board OF
Police should clearly understand that the
people are already dissatisfied. Banks are
gutted in open daylight, men are stabbed
IN public places, stores are robbed IN the
glare OF gaslight and graves are despOiled
in the very heart of the city, and vet no ar
rests are made. II Is about time this state
OF affairs was changed.

The most important item OF poiitlcai
news that has been given TO the country
since the Presidential election, Is that
which is contained in the Chicago Tribune's
Washington dispstches, which We copy
this morning, to the effect that the Presi-
dent has made up his mind thathis policy
of Cancellation has proved failure, and
that he has determined to turn over new
leaf" Having given decentralization poll
cy a thorough trial, he is satisfied that his
acts of kindness to the South have been as
pearls before swine, and his mind Is no"
fully made up that the red shir,e'
gentlemen VINO persist in carrying
elections at the muzzIe of the shotgun
shall be made to feel the strong hand oil the
law. He says:
"The integrity Of American citizenship
