C0W.beY Terrorism.

OMAHA, Jan. 1S.-A party of ten cowboys from the up.country rode into Long Pin. Tuesday night and took possession of the town. They shot out the lamps in the saloons, riddled the windows, fixtures and walls, and terrorized the inhabi tants by firing fully thousand shots during the night. Finally part of the gang boarded a departing train and continued shooting from the rear platform. The inhabitants were too glad to escape personal injury to think of bringing the ruffians to justice.

The Charges Asaiast Gen. Carr.

GALEsBURG, Ill.,, Jan. 19.-Friends of Gen. Carr here claim that it Is absurd to attempt to make the pres. ident, instead of the department commander responsible for Carr's being placed under arrest. They claim that Gen. Carr has not been fairly treated, and that his complaints of his superior commander do not justify his arrest by that officer, for disrespect, which is the gravamen of the charges against him.
 The charges are, disrespect, mis. statements in complaints to higher authority, disobedience of orders. and misconduct of the Indian campaign. The charges of disobedien and mismanagement, coming four months after they could have been made, seem to be made as a plausible accu- sation in support of the principal al- legation of disrespect. A full inves- t,ga'ion of the campaign will show that Gen. Carr performed his respou. sible and delicate duties as wei. as could possibly have been done in such unexpected emergencies as those in which he was placed. He himself telegraphed, "I am ready for any kind of trial or investigation" Gen. Carr's brother lives here, and much interest is taken in the case.

The rapid growth of the flour mill
ing interest of Minneapolis has been
sone Of the marvels in this branch ol
industry. The first -four mill was
built there IN. 1850, and in that year
the shipments of flour were $4,000
barrels, and in 1881 3,142,97F bar
rels. The quantity Of wheat ground
into -four in 1881 was 1e;5oo,ooo
bushels, being 2,5Oo,ooo bushels more
than the entire receipts at Chicago in
that year. The foreign export OF
-four from Minneapolis began in 1878
with lo9,ls barrels and amounted
in 1881 to 1,ls1,s24 barrels. The
products of the manufacturers for

The Vine. . Coo of the World.

II. Kains Jackson has recently ex-
pressed his opinion on the wheat
crop of the world as follows:
"The British crop, if reconed up
from the most divergent estimates,
will be over 100000 and under 49,
100000 quarters, so as TO take 10,-
Ooo,o as the probable home supply.
of wheat cannot much mislead the
buyer. Such 100000 will be Of
fered by the farmer Oil :erms that
the position OF affairs abroad will i'm
pose. Beyond home production, an
import of 100000 quarters may
be admitted as necessary. Surplus
countries are believed to have: Amer
ica, 100000; Russia, 1000, 900 In
dia, 4,coo,ooo; Central Europe, s,ooo-
900; Australia and Chile, 100000;
and to other countries may be as
signed 5000, ,oOo-total Kingdom
will want 1000, 900 leaving $4,000,
900 for France, Holland, Spain and
Portugal and those other coun-
tries whose maximum imports f
wheat and flour rarely exceed l,OOO,.
900 quart 'rs each. Now if 6,OOO,-
ooc quarters be allowed for wants out
side of England and the quantity is
liberal estimate-thcre should still
remain 100000 quarters of wheat
to replenish the stocks Of the world.
Such lO,ooo,ooo, If fairly distributed
and lodged in the mills snI grana-
ries of Europe, need not create full
ness in a. single market. Ten million
as an extra reserve, over and above
present stocks, might sit slightly e.
nough in our farms and az stock in
private hands; but when such TO-
100000 are not distributed, bat are
kept in bulk by the chief holders OF
America, India and Russia, the
wheat trade remains exposed to the
to the imminent danger Of such
heavy surplus being pressed on the
market"
This gives surplus over needs Of
eighty million bushels, and is con-
servative estimate. This, therefore,
is the lowest possible surplus of the.
year. 1t is based on an American
crop less than five million bushels.
1t is very evident, however, that the
American crop will reach at least
52o,Ooo,Ooo and may be much larger.
Here is an error of at least eighty
million bushels, varying according to
estimates of consumption in the
United States.
Then Franco this year Will have
enough for her home consumption,
thus adding 100000 bushels more
to the surplus. This makes s total
of ss,o0o,ooo bushels more thus al
lowed by Mr.. Jackson.
1t would appear, therefore, that
the world has an actual surplus: of
wheat this year of 16s, 100000 busli-
els; much more if the estimate of our
New York contemporary as to the
crop of the United States be taken
as the basis This is large surplus,
but it is nothing to- the annual con-
sumption, which reaches close to two
thousand million bushels. We may,
look for lower prices, but
net for panic prizes

THE SEAT OF WAR.

The present situation in Egypt,
which is liable, however, to change
at any moment: shows that the Brit
ish troops by occupying Ramleh have
advanced a step. Ramleh is five
miles northeast of Alexandria, and
is quite famous as watering place,
being much frequented by wealthy
Alexandrians. From Ramleh to
Aboukir is about eight miles. At
the latter place Arab is reported to
have large force of cavalry and to
have thrown up entertainments so
that he holds a strong position. The
only way to reach Aboukir from
Ramleh is by narrow neck of land
between the coast and the country
which Arab has flooded by the cut
ting of the MahmcGuddiicc i h canal. + IS IS
thus seen that the British can attack
Arab only on one point of land, as
his left wing is protected by the
marshes, on his right by lakes Abu-
kir and Edku. Our dispatches state
that Arab is also strongly entrench.
ed at Rosetta, still further to the
northeast, and also near the coast
Both these places being near the
coast, are within easy range of the
British men of war, and it is MOI
probable that Aarbi intends holding
them any length of time, as it seems
to be the policy of the willy Egypt
ian to draw the English away from
the sea. 1t is clear that, Arab ha:
the whole country outside of Alex
andria, with the exception of Ram
| leh, in his hands. Both sides wer,
buslly entrenching to-day, and TIL
next move will be awaited with in

followed Arabi's movements, canno

himself to be general of no meal

THE DEATH OF MINISTER
MARSH.

The sudden death of the Hon.
George p. Marsh, our minister to
Italy, will occasion surprise as well
as regret, for although at his advanc-
ed age-his eighty-first birthday hay
ing passed last March-it could not
be expected that much of life remain
ed to him, there had been, so far as
we remember, no intimations that he
was in other than his usual health.
Mr.. Marsh began his diplomatic ca
reer thirty-three years ago as minis
ter to Constantinople, and he has
represented our government in Italy
for twenty-one years. So long pc
Rod of continuous diplomatic service
is quite without precedent under our
unfortunate system of frequent
changes. But there can be no ques-
ton that while Mr.. Marsh was unus-
ually well equipped by naturnl en-
dowments and by education for the
service which he rendered his coun-
try, the experience which he acquir-
ed was very importont element in
his success. Through the changes
of administration at home, and the
changes of rulers and forms of gov
eminent in the country to which he
was accredited, Mr.. Marsh has sus-
tanned the dignity and responsibility
of his office in such a manner as to
retain the respect alike of his own
countrymen and of the government
and people of Italy. He found lei
sure for the cultivation of scholarly
pursuits, and was well and widely
known in literary circles, but his lei
sure was not purchased at the cost
of the duties of his office. His career
teaches, in very emphatic manner,
the advantage of selecting trained
and scholarly men to represent us
abroad, and of retaining them as
long as possible in the service which
they adorn.
