Army bill. the Ndtionu. V1er says:
The howl for the removal OF 1roous fro,n the

Western Educational Institutions.

No greater truism was ever written by
pen or uttered by lip than that "Educa-
ton is the lever that moves the world.
And no people in the wide world seem
to have truer appreciation CT this TACT
than the jewellers in that grand region
denominated "the West" In the giant
strides which that section of our coun-
try has of late made IN population,
wealth and material progress, no inter
est has improved and expanded with
more rapid pace than her educational
institutions.
It is only a few years since parents
living in the West who desired to give
their children a thorough education,
preparatory or collegiate, were COM
PEELED to send them to some Eastern
school, college or university, hundreds
of miles away, thus entailing the addi-
tional expenses incident to travelling,
besides the unpleasant feature of hav-
ing them so far away from home.
Happily for the West, this difficulty has
been removed. Her institutions of
learning to-day will compare favorably
with those of the older States, and her
preparatory schools are equal to any in
the country. Many of her universities
are richly endowed, and have profess
sors who, for deep learning and capacity
for dispensing knowledge, are unsur-
passed anywhere in the land.
The educational facilities of the West
being fully equal to those of the East,
there no longer exists any reason why
parents should send their children so
far away from home to educate them.
On the contrary, there are manifold rea-
sons why they should look nearer home
for fountains of knowledge. In the
first place, when the expense of getting
to and from the Eastern schools and
colleges is taken into consideration, the
cost of an education acquired in West
ern schools is much less than in the
Eastern. In fact, the difference is so
very great that it will in future figure
as very important fac cor in influencing
the public in favor of the Western
schools. Again, those who patronized
the Western colleges will enjoy the adj
vantage of having their children nearer
home. They will be enabled to see and
converse with them frequently, and re-
fresh their minds regarding their morals
and the duties devolving upon them as
students and seekers after knowledge,
and in case of sickness they can be
more readily reached and cared for.
Finally, the schools and colleges of the
West are comparatively free from many
vicious practices that have grown up in
the old universities of the Eastern and
Middle States, and which seem to be a
sort of second nature with the students
in those institutions. We allude to the
disreputable and dangerous pastimes
known as "hazing," rushing" and oc-
casionally open rebellion against the
authorities. There is none of that petty
spite and luminosity against their in
structors which, in many OF the Eastern
colleges, is so deplorably prevalent.
Parents living in the West who con-
template giving their children a liberal
education ought to take these facts into
consideration and patronize home in
stitutiOns

Foreign Grain Trade.

LONDON, July 15.-The Mark Lane En-
press says: In consequence of the continu-
ance of rain wheat made little if any pro-
gress The ears have scarcely began to APP
pear, In Scotland crops are fully three
weeks behindhand. On the whole, agricul-
tural prospects there, though far from prom.
Using, are less gloomy than in England.
since the spring Of 1877. The falling off
in deliveries of English wheat having
once started an upward movement,
buyers responded with readiness
which proves they are fully aware
of the existence of conditions tending to
create rise. Fine samples of home grown
wheat are now becoming so very scarce that
II many instances holders refused to accept
rise OF rs per quarter, which has been
readily obtainable at Mark Lane and i'll the
country markets, and now hold for SIS to 4s
per quarter advance. There have been ex-
tenslve imports and transactions in foreign
wheat during the week, the imports being
principally from American Atlantic ports.
There has been no lack of speculation. The
milling demand assumed large proportions.
These conditions caused an improvement of
1@2s per quarter. The inquiry has been
chiefly for American and Russian descrip-
tons, bat any variety of sound wheat has
sold easily. Owing to the scarcity of fine
English, there has been much demand for
choice qualities of foreign fit to replace it,
such as Danzig and New Zealand. These
are held for very full prices. The recently
published official return of stocks of grain
in London, July 1, was, notwithstan ding
the heavy imports of the last six months,
nearly 134, coo quarters less than at the CORE
spending time last year, showing the large
extent of purchases made by millers to ar
rive. Barley, maize and oats also show
considerable diminution. Flour advanced
shilling per sack and barrel in sympathy
with wheat. All descriptions of feeding
corn favored sellers. Sales of English
wheat lest week were 27,772 quarters at ABS
Sd per quarter, against 1866 quarters at
AS Sd in the corresponding period OF the
previous year. The imports into the United
Kingdom for the week ending July were
962, 259 hundred weights wheat and 144,9l4
hundred weights flour. In to-day's Mon
days market the unsettled weather had a
decided influence. Allchoice lots of home
grown wheat met with a ready sale at an
advance of Is per quarter. The foreign
arrivals have been unusually heavy, but
American realized an advance of Is per
quarter. Russian was steady. Flour in
good request at an improvement of Is per
sack, and 6d@9d per barrel.

No Paw No Work.

w. II. H. Clayton, United States attorney
for the western district of Arkansas, pub
fishes notices to the effect that no action
will be taken at the August term of court
in any criminal court in such cases, that
the attendance of witnesses will not be
required until November third next.
1t is alleged that the action is
taken because of the failure of con-
gress to appropriate for the fees of mar
shals, and it closes all criminal proce edings
in all cases where compensation is paid out
of the United States treasury. 1t is proba-
BILE that further postponement will take
place in November upon q similar pretext.
This court jurisdiction extends over the
Indian territory, and nearly all the crimi-
nal business is derived from that section.
S~--~ forty hIJy alleged criminals are
now in confinement in Fort Smith United
States jails whose trials are thus indefinitely
postponed.
