The gallant Democrats of Kansas are
running Miss Sarah A. Brown for State
Superintendent of Public Education.
She is highly praised for her personal
charms, grace and refinement, and her
brilliant qualifications for the position,
and it is said her candidacy will add
considerable strength to the ticket.

Candor forces the confession from us
that we are resolved to let politics alone
unless something is done. We don't
propose to work for the interest of a
good thing and then not have our labor
appreciated. Not a bit oft. It is char
acteristic of human nature to want some
thing in return for something.-[ Hands
boro (Miss.) Advertiser.
Precisely so. But that is no reason
why you should withdraw your advoca-
cy of Democratic principles that you
know are sound to the core, broad and
national in their aim, and pre-eminently
patriotic in their conception. Such Ian
guage as the above does no good what
ever. On the contrary it is apt to do
much injury to You, from the fact that
people might possibly interpret it as
meaning that you had grown tired of
the cause in which you had embarked.
This idea alone, though ill-founded,
would have the natural tendency to
shaken their confidence in the sincerity
Of your political faith, and your paper
would lose its good influence with them
from that very moment. Subsidized
presses alone are expected to claim sup
port from the party whose principles
they reluctantly advocate, for their po-
litical work is all done for pay. Take
our advice, friend Advertiser, and go
right straight ahead as you have so no.
bly, done heretofore. II anything, re-
double your zeal and energy for the good
old cause, and a substantial reward will
surely crown your efforts in the long run.

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN BEEF.

A suggestive addition to the statistics OF
English foreign trade to which we called
attention last week, Is the statement Just
issued by the President of the Foreign Cattle
Association in Great Britain. We find
from it that not only have the English
exports and imports of both manufactured
and raw products greatly decreased In the
last five years. but that the people have
ceased to raise or buy as large a number
of cattle as they did q few years ago. In
1875 the number of English cattle was
6.O12,O24, while in 1879 it only reached
5.S56,356; in 1875 the number OF
sheep was 29,167,43S, which had fallen
off more than million last year.
Nor was this decrease owing wholly to the
recent importation of American cattle on the
hoof, since we find that the total import OF
cattle and sheep from all quarters, including
Ireland, was in 1879 2,9SG,251, while lii
1873 it reached 3,043, 900. In the last year
English native cattle and sheep had fallen oil
nearly a million and half.
This depreciation is owing to the impOrta-
ton of American beef and mutton The Eng
fish tradesman or laborer can afford now to
have meat upon his table once IA day, which
was not practicable for him in 1875, not
wthstanding the fact that the number OF
cattle and sheep raised by English farm
ers falls of in one year nearly one
million and half. The American
wheat, grower in Minnesota who sows 10000
acres and employs regiment of laborers and
steam engines enough to stock railway, can
put his grain in the market at Liverpool and
underscl the Sussex farmer with his loo
acres. No energy nor industry nor patriotism
can lift the Englishman on to the same plane
as this lucky man on this side of the water
Statistics are the most practical and hardest
of facts, yet no drama is so full of histories
of the change and inexOrable destiny III
human life.

abroad are so small that large quantities hlus'
still be exported before the new crop IN Eu-
rope will come into market, and the ne"
winter wheat in this country Is now going
forward to meet this demand.
The receipts at the Atlantic ports during
.July were extraordinarily large Baltimore
beoon to receive new winter wheat in great
onantities from the regions tributary TO us
chief railroad about July 10. and Its re-
GENTS of wheat during the week emu
ing July II were 1,625,5O bushels
against 1,446,361 bushels at New YORK,
and during the next week 2,ol9,ooo
bushels, against 2,26094S bushels at New
York. During the week ending July 81 the
recepts at Baltimore were 1 ,881,47l bushels,
and at New-York 1919, 1914 bushels. Receipts at
other ports have not been large as yet, and enor-
nous receipts of corn at New-York have raised
its proportion of all grain receipts nj AtiahCic
ports to so. 6 per cent for the five weeks endih8
July 81. During the same weeks Baltimore re-
ceived 10 4 per cent of all grain; Philadelphia
1913 per cent, Boston &C per cent, Montreal
30 per cent New-Orleans A per cent, ana
Portland g per cent. New-YOrk and Balti-
more took much more than their usual pro-
portion, WlllIe OtncT CltltS ltli Dthiho' - 49,
change is made in rail rates, this city may
expect to retain fully one-half of the gram
business done at all Atlantic ports during the
rest of the season of navigation.
Low prices for wheat seem inevitable. Inc
effect upon English agriculture is correctly
foreshadowed by The London Telegraph, which
observes that the low price of wheat In this
county, while 1t leaves good profit 10
American growers, enables them to deliver
grain in Liverpool cat price lower
than the minimum cost of producing
wheat in England. and hence it is to
4" be feared that, in spite of the fine
prospects, the British farmer has cruelty
&" hard time in store for him, even if prices
"fall no lower That they are likely to fall,
so low, at least, that an American surplus OF
about 200, 900 600 bushels can be marketed
abroad, seems plain. The natural result Will
be a further abandonment of wheat growing
by British farmers, and greater dependence
hereafter upon American supplies.

MIR. GROWv.S SPEECH.

Ex-Speaker Galusla A. Grow made a speech
in Pittsburg Saturday night on the business
issues Of the canvass, which we print to-day,
and which Is worth careful perusng by men
of affairs who are more Interested in
the prosperity of business than in tne
success of any party. He showed
how small have been the losses suffered by the
defalcation of public officers under Republic
can rule in comparison with those which oc-
CURED when the Democrats controlled the
Government. He rehearsed the magnificent
financial achievements of the Republican
party-the payment of $S6O,O1G,G66 of
the public debt, the saving III interest
of SCI, SAT, 800 annually, the apprcca-
ton III the value of the paper currency,
the success of resumption and the prosperity
which has followed measure denounced by
the Democrats ruinous up to tho day it
went into effect. The figures Mr.. Grow gives
of the increase i'll the amount of agricultural
and manufactured products since 1865 and
since 1874 are in themselves an eloquent in
dorsement of the sound financial policy pur-
sued by the party in power.

THE "raIR COUNT" IN ALABAMA.

THE "IIlK COCNI" ~ 1I1Dhh<''
Alabama increases daily in soidity. Inc
Democratic majority is now estimated a'
5000, and may go higher. The Senate Is
solid, the bench is solid, the counties are soiiu'
In many counties not single opposition vote
was cast In fact. such is lne solidarity OF inc
State that the Democratic National Committee
will find it perfectly safe to offer chrome
for every citizen who was caught III the act OF
voting against the Brigadiers.
A Washington dispatch shows how the DEM
ocrats rolled up such large figures. 1t Is the
old story of gross and barefaced fraud when
has come to be n regular thing in all parts OF
TIE South where the Republicans have an
evident majority. No matter how many Re
publican votes go into the boxes and are duly
tailed by the Republican watchers outside,
the Democratic election inspectors inside the
closed pollinG-rooms return any Democratic
majority they choose. In order to make
pretence of complying with the law they select
one Republican judge, but they make sure
that he cannot read or write, and get pima
negro or an idiot if one can be found. Inc
mOnotOny of fraud was broken at one place IN
Alabama, however by performance which
ought to interest General Hancock. Finding
they could not get rid of an intelligent colored
man, who somehow had got appointed as an
election inspector, the Democrats telegraphed
to Montgomery for a militia company, al
though there was no disturbance of the peace
actual or prospective. The company came,
the light was blown out Ill the room where
the count had begun, the Republican ballots
were thrown on the floor and burned, new
Democratic ballots were crammed in the box.
and 600 Republican majority was converted in
three minutes into q Democratic majority
of $50.
General Hancock should address special
letter to the Alabama Democrats. Evi-
IDENTIFY they do not take to heart what he
said about the bayonet's not being fit lnstru-
ment for collecting the votes of freemen.
At all events they seem to think that III the
hands of their militia it is n good instrument
for dispensing the votes Of Republicans.
