The alexandria Post speaking Of the
policy of the new management Of the ST.
p. M, 6 NJ railroad says; Their policy
IS, that what ever advances the interests of
the several communities, advances their
own interests. and they are alive to every
passing event, and using every means to
build up the country. One policy which
they have adopted is to have clcgraphcd
to headquarters daily the prices paid for
wheat and othef commodities at every
station; and Mr.. j. j. Hill. the very court
eouS General Manager, informs us that
wherever he finds buyers forming ring or
discriminating in any way i'll prices to the
detriment Of the producing community, he
brings q pressure to bear which immedi-
ately causes it to cease. Where such a
condition exists he will always consider it
a favor to be informed of it, 1t is certain
ly u wise policy"

if there is or if there is not | wish some
experienced prairie farmer would let us
hear from him. The town west of lis is
all burned, and think it is not very good
for the land, think it makes the country

acre burned, they have good sleighing, but
We out west here have nothing but the raw
black prairie to look at, hardly any sleigh

set fire to the prairics? / wish the Presi

The terrible tragedy which WAS enacted
in this village last Saturday afternoon
should be q life long lesson to all who
thoughtlessly and carelcssly handle danger
GUS weapons. 1t should be warning but
will it,-evcry day we read of just such
horror at the sudden and awful manner in
which fellow being is launched into eter
nifty, 8 feeling Of pity for IN. slayer and
OF sorrow for the victim, the lesson is for
gotten. We may censure Mr.. O'Bricn for
his rscklessness, but lie is deserving Of pity
to his dying day, he will remember with
anguish, remorse and horror the deed of
Saturday-in which he in moment of
thouglitlsss recklessness sent fellow be-
ing, friend, into a premature grave
plunged family into mourning, widowed
a young and happy wife-blasted her li.e
yes and ruined his own While we sor-
row and mourn for the tead, we also pity
the misery and anguish Of the living, he,
who III measure was responsible for that
death. Yet as often as we have read and
heard of similar tragedies, we still fail to
profit by the lesson. It may be that to.
day or tomorrow, some one of us may
either be in our grave or have hurled u
fellow being into eternity by just such
criminal carelcssness.
There is q Jaw in this state prohibiting
people from carrying concealed weapons,
but in this instance that law does notapply,
as men who follow Mr. O'Briens calling,
usually go armed, their business is such
that they are often Obliged to curry large
sums of money about their person, and
that in the most out of the way places
where there are no facilities for depositing
or forwarding it, and hence they go pre-
pared to protect their lives and property
We car say nothing for or against MI.
O'Brien, lie cannot be more severely pun.
ished by any reprimand or censure than lie
is by tile pricking Of his conscience.

The senate is now composed Of AZ Dem

outgoing senators are classified political
BY, II Republicans, II Democrats. SEN

then expire, with the exception of sena-
tor Bruce, of Mississippi, while of the
II senators Of Democratic politics, the
chances will be good for Republican
SUCCESSORS 10 senators Eaton, of Connec-
ticut; Mcdonald, of Indiana; Randolph,
of New Jersey; Herman, of New York !;
Thurman, of Ohio, and Wallace, of
Pennsylvania. Such changes being
made, the senate would stand, at the
next Inauguration of president and vice
president, 80 Republicans, 81 Democrats
and David Davis. With Mr.. Wheeler,
ar some other equally as good Republi-
can, presiding er-cDicfO over the United
States senate, the Republicans would
then have control of that body. The
house will undoubtedly by that time be
Republican.

CORN VS.. MEAT.

During the fiscal year 1873 we export
ed over 81, 0OO, 600 bushels of corn. The
cost of transporting this corn was at
least $40 ,OO0, 600 more than would have
been the cost of transporting the meat
grown from it. We exported in weight
of corn, 4,7S5, 821 ,4S8 pounds. Had this
been economically converted INTO meat,
it would have produced at least 700. 000, :
700 pounds. Our entire pork, bacon
and ham export for that year amounted
to 664 ,OOO, 600 pounds, and for this we re.
ceived. $56, 633, 851, while we received
for the corn only $48, 100000.
1t thus appears evident that had this
grain been converted into meat, and sold
at the same rate, we should have realized
at least 500, O00, 600 more than for the
corn. We do not forget that the ques-
tion may be asked, where should we
have found a market for this $4,000, O0O
remembered that we are discussing the
true policy for our farmers to pursue
and when that policy is fully inaugural
ed the market will be found.
All this corn that we have exported
was used to grow meat in other coun
tries, and especially in Great Britain
our best market for meat. This corr
lessened our market for meat to that ex
tent And we are gratified to see thai
this policy is fast gaining ground-thai
the proportion of our meat exports il
constantly increasing-and we think
the next twenty years will show de
cided preponderance of animal expor
over all grain export, including wheat
