Old England's Roast Beef.
The inroads made upon the British
market for grain and meats (beef and
bread), interfering with the business
and profits of British farmers and cat tie
gentlemen to the extent of driving
them from their avocations, and
cutting down the price of beef to such
a degree that the business of supply
ing the markets, at ruling rates, is
proving ruinous to the butchering
business; have caused the government
to appoint a committee to make in
quiries for the purpose of ascertaining
the capacity of the United States,
Brazil, Australia, and other nations,
for producing breadstuiTs and beef
cattle. This is an important question
for the people of Great Britain gen
erally, as well as for those more imme
diately interested in the two branches
of food supply. The stalled beef of
England is generally a superior article,
-and for a long time has had control of
the market, those furnishing it being
able to fix almost their own price upon
it. The rich could afford to line
themselves with its juicy joints and
tender steaks at will. But however
good, juicy, and nourishing it might
be, the common people (the compara
tively poor, as well as the absolutely
poor), stood but a slim chance to feast
their palates often with the rare treat.
But one day the 'tamal" Yankees
sent across the ocean specimens of
American cattle, to be turned into
beef upon their arrival in England.
And this was done, and the meat
furnished at such a reduced rate from
that which had previously ruled in the
British markets, that consternation
sat upon the faces of the beef-dealers
of the beef-eaters. Then various
schemes were formed for Heading off
the Yankees. The cry was raised that
imported cattlawcre diseased, had the
p! euro-pneumonia, were unfit for food,
and succejfcdeatto obtain certain enact
ments of prohibition, etc. This was
all well enough, and correct, so far as
the purpose was to protect the people
from imposition, land being induced,
by the idea ofcheapness, to purchase
and use unhealthy food. But, per
haps, somewhat of other purposes
entered into the plans of the operators.
Nor can we blame them much. Their
business was at stake, and they nat
urally endeavored to save themselves.
However, the supply of beef from
abroad continues, and the British
people find that nothing short of a
prohibitory tariff can save their cattle
breedera for beef from ruin, or from a
forced retreat from the business. Now
the British government and public
want to know what are the capacities
of foreign countries for supplying and
continuing to supply material to take
the place of "the roast beef of old
England."
The Grant Excnrsion Party.
Republican journals throughout tlie
country are speaking their sentiments
very freely on the subject of sending
a monster excursion party across the
continent to welcome General Grant
home. Thc preponderance of opinion
is against the excursion. It is gen
erally believed that it is being gotten
up as a monc3Ted speculation, and that
if it has any political significance it
will do General Grant more harm than
good. That the General himself is
ignorant of the intention is made ap
parent from the outline of his plans
furnished in the letter addressed to
George W. Ohilds, of Philadelphia.
It is furthermore believed in some
quarters that General Grant would be
annoyed by such a greeting. The
Chicago Inter-Ocean, a republican pa
per, echoes the respectable republican
feeling in the follewing:
mcious. juen of sense wno are inenu.s
of Grant and of the republican party will
not only stand aloof, but condemn in no
measured terms the enterprise,

He expresses himself as being some-,
what in doubt as to the passage J
through Behrings straits of Prof, j
Nordenskjold in the "Vega. He hopes
that the cablegrams to that effect are
correct, but fears they are not. Cap
tain Barker, a resident of San Fran
cisco, who was wrecked on East Cape
in the fail of 1S75, and remained!
among the natives during the winter,
says that in February of each your the
ice moves to the north ward from the
shore. Taking this view Lieutenant
De Long thinks that Nordenskjold
may have succeeded in getting out as
reported. The navy department has
not as yet designated any vossel as a
covoT to the expedition, but it is
probable that the Alaska will be se
lected for that purpose.
Will This Scliezac Fail.
There appears to be at the present
time a great deal of discussion in the
German journals upon the question
of extending the telegraphic wires
more thoroughly over the world than
heretofore, so that one may know in
the morning whatever remarkable
thing transpires the day before in any
part of the civilized world. Their
principal discussion is a proposed
cable between this coast and Yoko
hama, Japan; thence to Tientsin, and
from that point to Pekin. It is said
that the proposed cable plan (or com-pan-
perhaps) is making good pro
gress. It is proposed that there shall
be made a junction of the Chinese
line with others, connecting with south
African, also. Some Tears ago a gen
tleman in San Francisco endeavored
to interest some of the solid men of
California in the undertaking of con
necting us with the Sandwich islands,
Japan and China, he having obtained
the necessary authority from congress;
but although they were willing that
their names should appear in the bill,
they did not have sufficient confidence
in the plan, as a financial measure, to
induce them to advance the funds for
constructing the line, and it seemed
to have died of inanition. Is this
question now being discussed 03 the
German press to result in a similar
utter failure of accomplishing airy
thing? Refering to the address by ex
Senator Mitchell at the graduate
exercises of Wallamet university on
the 13th, a Salem letter to the Oregon
ian says: " It was just such as the
occasion called for and one that could
not fail to impress itself upon the
minds of his hearers and have its
beneficial influence upon those for
whose benefit it was more especially
intended. Throughout it teemed with
suggestions practical and advice
which, if followed, can but lead to
good results. The large audience
paid the strictest attention to the dis
course, evincing n.j signs of weariness,
notwithstanding the inconveniences
arising from over-crowded seats, and
were apparently deeply interested.
