around looose; it "alarms" this Penn
sylvania democracy to contemplate
such alri?htful stale of affairs. The
e
lact is, if the democracy of this county
come into power, armed with their un
quenchable thirst for "deep-reaching'
reform, there is not the remotest prob
ability that the country will ever have
to wrestla with the crdLlem of "what
arc we to d with our surplus reve
nues?? That "deep reaching" desire
which naturally belongs to that party
will be able to get away with all the
"surplus' and ' thus save the Couuty;
the trouble of settling sucti a knotty
question.
"Deep-reeching" reform is about as
good a name as we have heard for it.
simply to gratify the wicked foolish
ambition of the participant who engage
in them to prove who can bear the
most punishment, or who is physically
the "best man," or the cupidity of the
sporting fraternity who thrive iu their
nefarious professions off of such exhi
bitions, where these men : malm and
wound each other, ought not to be
countenanced, in any civilized communi
ty. '
Certainly it is time such exhibitions
should be absolutely prohibited in this
country. It seems to us to be an out
rage that the police of New York c'ty
who are hired and pas-ed-by the govern
ment to protect the person and pioper-
ty of the citizen, and prevent riots and
fighting and' all ' disorderly conduct
among the people, should be used by
the sporting fraternity of that city to
protect and assist them in such - brutal
exhibitions.
We noticed, not long since, an emi
merit artist was prohibited from giving
an exhibition of the Passion Play in
New York city, the highest courts of
the city government weie vainly pe
titioned to relax the rigor of the - law
and permit this play, which Salvini
Morse guaranteed would not shock the
sensibilities of the most pious and rev
erent christian of that city Yet moral
New York banishes the Passion . Play

INDIAN AND AMERICAN WHEAT.
From the Chicago Tribune.
Our Consul-General at Calcutta. Mr.
Mattson, follows up bis communica
tion of some months ago with regard
to the prospects of the development of
tne wneat culture or India- by forward
ing to. tne state uepartmept an interest
ing report . on the same subject from
the Indian Al mister of. Finance. Mr. E
Baring. This is published in full In the
last volume of Consular reports
Altbongn tne export trade in Indian
wheat did not practically beg in until
ten years ago 1873, it amounted to 28,-
000,000 bushels last year. The exports
grow as tne railroads are extended, and
as the building of the new roads is now
being pushed by public and private
entorprise we may expect to see a yearly
increase in tne supplies or Indian wneat
competing with us in the European mar
kets. Mr, JJanng points out tnat very
large tracts of land are awaiting culti
vation in India, and quotes estimates
tnat it would be possible for India to
increase its export to 40,000,000 cwt
Mr. Baring expresses .tne opinion
that the cost of producing wneat in in
dia is considerably less, than In the
United States. The farmer -who sleeps
