THE BRITISH GRAIN MARKET,

LONDON, Feb. 25.-The Mark Lane Erpress
in its weekly review of the British grain
trade, says: Wheat shows signs of active
growth. The consumption of breadstuffs
continues small. Fine native wheat is scarce
and firm, but flour is dull. Foreign wheat is
unimproved, with receipts smaller In cargo
and off coast there was rather more business,
eight cargoes arrived, seven were sold and
two withdrawn, one remained. For cargoes
on the passage and for shipment there was
little enquiry. The sales of English wheat
for the week were SO, 1913 quarters at 36s lid
quarter, against 4S, 1853 quarters at Ais Cd
for the corresnOndinG week last year

The Northwestern Indian Troubles,
Especial Telegram to the Globe +

BRoADvIEw, n. w. T., Feb. 25.-Contrary
to expectations Yellow Calf, the rebellious
Indian chief, give himself up to the police
this afternoon, together with few of his
braves. The police with them in charge,
started for Regina this evening, where they
will be tried by the courts. Everything is
quiet tonight and the trouble is probably
over for the present.

IT might be well to mention the
fact that the democrats of Arkansas
needn't repose too soundly on their
arms, at least not SO soundly as not
to be able to hear some sound of
danger. When an army is asleep, you
know how easily it is surprised and
thrown into confusion, and an army
hardly ever goes to sleep when it APP
prehends danger. 1t is when it feels
secure and no need of guards. But
we can apprize our brethren that an
enemy is in the lurch. True he may
not be so powerful as to crush us,
but then, If he can take us unawares
and divide our forces he will have
the better show to whip us by divis-
sions. Democrats in all quarters
should begin to stir themselves and
talk of organization and unity. We
must not permit of any inroads upon
the party on account of our careless
ness or want of zeal. We must
arouse the Democracy of Arkansas
to the highest pitch of zeal, and put
it in the best kind offighting trim so
that its splendid fighting may help
to swell the tide of enthusiasm all
over the union for the great presi-
Dental contest of the present year.
The animus and YIN which pervade
the party in the states go to make
up the moral power of the party in
the nation and every one can appre-
ciate the Importance of prestige
which tells upon public opinion of a
moral sentiment which predicts sue.
cess from a knowledge of moral
forces and fighting qualities, and
Arkansas must not be behind the
foremost in splendid record for
1884.

Gently by kind expressions and espe-

Of renewals and new subscriptions.
We feel thankful, as we take these

assure our friends that we feel en-
couraged to battle for the right as
we see the right and we hope with
more wisdom and skill than in the

sought to make our paper the mouth

tried to conserve, and, gaining
strength by experience, we hope to
see those interests clearer, and de-
fend them better in the future than

rally to our assistance this once.

The gentleman from Texas talks

the sentiment of the temperance PEG
pie of the United States of Americs
ought to be respected in this House
which creates committees on almost
every other subject. We have com

the yellow fever, and we have com

on sending expeditions to the North

has wrecked so many households in

American people will allow the
friends of humanity, the friends OF
humanity, the friends of truth, jns-
tice and mercy, be heard; that they
will extend to the people the oppor-
tunlty to gather every information
on subject of such tremendous inn

of people the right to be heard on
this important question! Cries OF

We want information. We want
to know what it costs this govern
