Canned Beef.

In regard to the canned beet
Scandals it will be well to take in
to consideration what that beef is in
good condition. Soldiers testified that
the canned roast beef was tasteless
and, in some instances, stringy. In
a few cases it was spoiled. Canned
goods are frequently found spoiled
through defective canning, allowing
air to get to the meat. That 1t
should be unpalatable and stringy
is only what might be expected
from the quality Of the cattle from
which it is selected and from the
way it is cooked. 1t is well known,
or ought to be, that beeves called
Gamers are not fat cattle but the
lean and old. These cattle sell for
from cents to of a cent q pound
as compared with 5 and 6 cents for
fat steers. After the animal is dress
ed all the "steak" and other better
portions are selected for other pur-
poses than canning. The poorest
portions of this poor carcass are
then thrown into vat and all the
Juices are boiled out of it for the
celebrated "beef extract" This
boiled beef is then canned and
roasted. 1t was poor beef in the
carcass, the poorest of this was TAX
en- and nearly all the nutritive quail
ity of that was boiled out for the ex-
tract. What is left is not-porter
house steak!
By reference to the chill to
abolish the office of County Sup
erintendent of schools, and to pro-
vide for the more efficient Super
vision of common schools, we learn
that the bill proposes to create "a
State board of supervision of COM
mon schools" to consist of the pro-
fessor of pedagogy in the university;
the board of examiners for state
certificates; and the institute con-
ductors from the normal schools.
This board appoints the district IN
spector for each of the one hundred
and fifteen inspection districts.
The state superintendent may ap-
point a secretary at a salary of $4,000
to examine into the condition OF
common schools and to advise with
and consult the inspectors and assist
them. The inspectors are to receive
q salary of $1,000 and an addition
al sum of So for each school or de-
partment in his district.
Some remarkable evidences of our
prosperity as nation are shown in
a few comparisons taking the last 20
wears into consideration. In 1879
the population of the United States
was 100000, now it is 100000.
Then we raised a maximum of 400,
100000 bushels of wheat, 675,000,-
600 bushels of corn; last year the
wheat product was SIS, 100000, and
the corn 2,000,00O,000 bushels.
During these 20 years the railway
mileage has increased from $4,000
to 1877 200.

Horses.

UNION STOCKYARDS, INDIANAPO-
LIS, Nov. 2.-The number of horses i'm the
auction sale was liberal, about go head hav-
ing arrived, against the same number last
week and LIS the same time a year ago. A
few good horses were represented, but not
enough to cause any unusual interest among
buyers; in fact, the offerings were a mixed
lot compared with last week. From the
start there was a very Indifferent feeling
among buyers and the bidding was unreal
sonably lower than last week. Statesmen
were inclined to be independent at the start,
but IL was soon evident that sharp conces-
sions would have to be made before a clear
ance could be effected. Consequently, after
a trading basis had been established, the
offerings moved more promptly and at a
late hour a very good clearance had been
made. In some instances high-class horses
were considered fully $50 per head lower,
and the decline generally for all common to
medium and pretty good animals was slcd15
per head.

Have We forgot so soon-too soon
That which we bled for, moon till moon?
Have we forgot how we arrayed
To save poor Cuba-overlaid
With dearth Of war-the pow'r which stayed
Have we forgot ours was the aid
Which broke the thrall Of Spain and made
The gains achieved worth what was played?
Have we forgot-have we forgot?
Have we forgot that life blood's flow
Did not end all-that want and woe
Keep upper-hand? We still must know
That need is there and will not go.
Our work the times will not accept,
Till full-complete our vow is kept.
Until that's done there is no need
For Justice yet Is fate's one creed.
Half done is worse than no attempt.
And we can only be exempt
When we have swept from sea to sea
That isle of death and misery.
Shall We forget? oh, people. hear,
Awake and troubled conscience clear.
Shall We forget See duty's path
Arise and reap the aftermath.
