The Philadelphia Times asks "Who is
pushing GRANr?' If the Times will read
the New York Herald of yesterday we think
1t Will discover that that sheet is pushing
GRANT back with its best efforts but it is
the old push of Cesarism. The Republican
party has not yet adopted the Herald as its
political mentor, and hence it is wasting its

The English people are beginning to be-
lIeve that we Americans are rapidly possess
ing ourselves of a superior breed of horses
designed ultimately to whip out" all crea-
tlon. This superiority is accounted for by
the fact, to some extent that our horse
breeders have in times past inbred thorough
Arabian stock with their English importa-
tons This, added to the improved facili-
ties we have for stock-raising, including our
bluegrass fodder and exhilarating climate,
has gives to the modern American horse a
inherent form in some respects and more
complete muscular development than is to
be found in his English cousin. In short,
the racing stock of the United States like

mopoiitan, preserving the more active, Wig
orous, and better qualities of its cross-bred

1T is reported that Mr.. KNOTT has fin
lshed his answer to the Presidents vetoes
and that it will be made public some time
TINS week. This parliamentary way OF
talking back to the President and attempt
ing to have the last word in the contro-
Versy is of recent Democratic invention.
Public curiosity will naturally be some
what excited regarding the contents of this
extraordinary document, but at the same
Time public propriety WILDE shocked at the
partisan use of the Judiciary Committee of
the House in its preparation We are of
the opinion, however, now that the Demo-
Gratis have set the precedent, tbat the Re-
publican minority of the committee is in
duty bound to submit dissenting view of
the matter. In this way the Democrats
Will at last be foiled in their efforts to have

IHE current movement in this country
Tor more liberal and reciprocal commercial
treaty with France may be all right in its
ultimate design, but we are very much
afraid it is all wrong in its inception. The
way to begin such thing, if France were
In earnest in the matter, would be by the
repeal by the French government of laws
now on its statute book which discriminate
against American commerce. Until this is
done the unauthorized assertions, promises,
Or negotiations Of selfappointed French
commissioners should bcaccepted with some
