Clydesdale Stallion.
HIGHLAND ROVER!

WA sired by Drayman. who was imported
w in 1859; dam by Lord Clyde, also imp pert
ed grand dam by Old Cumberland Rover was
foaled October 22nd. 1876. He stands IL hands
high, weighs 400 pounds, is "a bright mahogany
bay color with black points name and tail:
very heavy; kind in disp. sition but spirited,
with great vim and courage. and has
derful amount of power and endurance: in
form, compact as a pony.
The CLYDE horse is heavier bone than any
other breed, according to his weight; limbs
are of great width, Nat, c0rdy. and hard. with
long hair on the back part which is character
istic and mark of pure breeding.
Considering the importance of rearing
better class of horses for labor or sale. we Wis
tied Powell Bros :, of Pa. who have been large
importers for II years. and have imported as
fine Clyde horses as ever landed on this cOnti-
nent. giving an opportunity of selecting just
the horse needed in this part of the country.
Tor the Clyde possesses by far more desirable
qualities than any other draft horse in exist
ence. This is fortified by the demand, which
is already immense. and constantly increasing
all over the civilized world, ut price ranging
from 25 to 80 per cent. higher than any other
draft horse.

The Price Of Wheat.

With a bountiful harvest our farmers
have the additional encouragement Of
probable good prices for their wheat.
This last arises from several causes, prln-
cipally among which is the extra quality
of this years grain and the arrival in San
Franansco of large feet of ships brought
thither by the high freights and charters
Of year ago. At that time they were
high and four pounds per ton to Liver
poo! was the ruling figure. As might
have been expected these rates brought
ships from all parts Of the world and on
Friday week last no less than % ships
and barks arrived in port from Great
Britain, New York, Germany, Norway,
France, Spain, Belgium, Australia and
South America Two-thirds of the grain
fleet now due have arrived and so many
more areexpected that rates must necessar-
lily rule lower As a scarcity of tonnage
makes high freights, so abundance will
lower proportionately.
Considering that the farmers Of this
country can raise two o. even three
more bushels to the acre than in any
ether country, they can be congratulated
upon the existing state of affairs, and We
can but hope as we believe that as freight
rates go down so will the price of wheat
advance. Last year as is always the
case the farmer paid for all and now he
will profit

On the Use Of tae Pistol

The Chicago Times asks: "What sort
of a community is it where the murderer
is ever busy and the hangman forever
idle Whose fault is it, The laws, the
states attorneys, the police's-whose,
that this is the case Killing is growing
mighty common in the streets OF Chicago
Police officers are shot down, and it isn't
known who does the work. When 1t Is
known, what difference does it make 2
XIII. kill, kill is the order in Chicago
Not week passes that there Is not
murder within the limits of the city, but
does anyone ever hear OF the scoundrels
being hung now and thenl Arrests are
made sometimes, indeed generally, espec-
ially when the murderer gives himself up.
What then, but little boarding in the
iail for the benefit of the sheriff, trial,
possibly, an aequittal sometimes, IN the
long run general, an ESCAPE. It's long
time since anyone was hung in Chicago
for murder. But it isn't a long time
since anyone was murdered. Years and
years mark the interval between the put
ting up of the gallows, but the murderous
revolver is constantly Rot. Why does
crime flourish in this community.-one
which Is supposed to be intelligent, pro-
gressive, law-abidingl Is not one reason
the uncertainty and inadequacy of pun
ishment Is there not laziness In the
prosecution, indifference in the court, un-
certainty in the lawl And while the
murderer can pop and pop and feel GER
tain that any shrewd shyster will in the
end bring HIM successfully of, won't he
continue his engaging pursuit upon the
slightest proyocationi Give the hang
man something to do. 1t may not be
the most effective deterrent, but it will
dispose of fellows who. not fit themselves
to live, have gone about killing other
people Re-erect the gallows. There's
too much killing in Chicago. The muir
deiers are running riot. 1t will soon be
every mans daily task to look after the
integrity of his throat and viscera The
man who carries revolver is nine times
in ten, nay, eleven times in ten, an az

The Geneva Precedent.

The time has come tor this country to
practice what it preached at Geneva when
it was demanding compensation from En-
gland for losses inflicted by the Alabama,
Florida and Shenandoah. 1t is true that
Ireland is not in a state Of ipsurrec,ion,
or war with England, but that does not
affect the principle which We asserted at
Geneva, and insisted on England's ac-
knowledging, should govern the conduct
of any nation when individuals seek to
use it as a base of operations against the
government or people of another nation
As we are much more often neutrals than
belligerents, it is by no means clear that
our government is to be credited with
far-sighted piece of craftsmanship in in
creasing the responsibility Of neutrals.
But it was then for our interest to main
tain the principle that neutral nation
should be responsible for all sorts of pre-
parations made within its limits TO prey
upon the people of another nation or to
directly attack another nation. Now the
principle that We asserted to make Eng
land responsible for the aid given by her
citizens to the confederate privateers
cOmpels us to use all diligence to prevent
the fitting out of torpedo rams and the
consti uction of Internal machines to de-
stroy English property. The authorities
at Washington have not been very active
thus far. but the discovery of the infer
nal machines in the steamers Malta and
Bavarian seems TO have reused them to a
sense that something must be done, and
this has resulted in the arrest of
Peter Grove, of Peoria, the "Irish
patriot gho is charged with max
ing the machines, or with having had
them made and shipped to England, for
no purpose than anybody but an 'Irish
patriot could possibly discover. A,tor-
ney General McVeagh gave instructions
that 10 bail should be accepted in Peoria,
and Grove VIII arrive here this morning
for an examination. This is not simply q
question of international comfy and re-
sponsib!lity; il is question Of ordinary
humanity This country can not escape
disgrace If it allows itself to becnmea base
of operations for men whose idea If patri-
otism is the blowing up Of city halls and
ships, and the miscellaneous destruction
Of life and properly. O'Donovan Rosa
Is tolerated because it is believed that he
is humbug; that he caused the destruc-
tion OF the Doterel is not credited by
anyone, but the man who sent the in
fernal machines to England is not hum
bug; he is genuine scoundrel, but it is
to be hoped that there is law enough in
this country to provide for him ade-
quately. Whether Grove is the man is a
question for the federal Judiciary in this
distIic. to ascertain. Irish patriots"
have gone about far enough in bringing
disgrace on the country that affords them
an asylum Chicago Times
