EXCEPT upon the lowest grades Of beef cattle,
the largely increased supply over that Of the pre-
cedipp week did not tend to reduction Of prices,
nor has the immense supply and cheapness Of
strawberries had the anticipated effect Of reducing
the consumption of beef so as TO bring down the
price Of bulocks below the equivalent Of - cents
pound for the meat, at which rate all the best Of
the stock at the great Bulls Head in Forty fourth
street sold yesterday.
That we are a meat-eating people we think Will
appear evident to any one who will analyze our
weekly reports Of the cattle market. Look at the
figures this week. We have received 3, l5o beeves,
which. at an average Of cwt. per head, gives US
. 2l0.6OO lbs, of beef. We have received 239
COWS, in place of which an equal number goes to
the butcher, which, at cwt. per head, make
lI4,5OO lbs; and ST. calves at 100 lbs each, give
$500 lbs Of veal; TO- 335 sheep aud lambs at 40
lbs average make 5l45 20 lbs. Of mutton and lamb,
ard 293 hogs at $50 lbs. each make CAB $50 lbs.
Of pork; and a grand total of 3,472,27O lbs. OF
butchers meat, beside large quantity that
reaches the city by market boats cars and wagons,
both dead and alive, that we get no account OF.
But the quantity in our report is sufficient to give
nearly half pound Of meat day to every man,
woman and child Of the million souls supposed to be
in and about this city and suburbs, which with the
products of the sea and the garden added to the
D,, sdstufs, certainly show US fall-fed people.
If these 3,412, go pounds Of meat averaged ia
cents pound to the consumer, then we have paid
for our present weeks supply the snug little sum
Of S454 O33 10; and the receipts this week are
below the regular weekly average.

in this good work, Judge Morris fairly distances
tie whole Circumlocuiion Office in devising and
enuncia,iDg How Not to Do it. He tells the Grand
jury that sec IS Of tie act "must have been intro
"duced by mistake" though he cannot help know
ing coed deal better. That section is an integral
and essential feature Of the sct-perhsps the most
essential section contained in tiff the whole be
interpreted in the light Of common sense and noto-
rious facts. II we should suppose, however, with
Morri, that the act is bundle Of utilities incon-
si.terces hypocrises, and that its repressve pro-
visions were not intended to be needed executed,
then the 10th section becomes as mistaken and
absurd as be hes represented it.
Judge Morriss suggestions that licensed seller
forfeit. $500 by each act Of Illegal sale, while the
unlicensed can be made to pay but tenth OF that
amount-that this act did not intend to class IN
law ful liquor selling with misdemeanors nor render
it indictabe Though presiding judges are expressly
epoped to call the attention Of Grand Juries to this
very act, for what and that, consequently,
Grand Jurie,, "have, comparatively speaking but
"lite to DO with its execution" are all of pece.
If he had been employed and paid to break down
the repressiye features Of the act, and mpel every
unlicensed rumseller ia persevere in his ruinous and
forbidden traffic he could not have worked harder
nor gone further in that direction. We trust the
State tribunals contain few like him; for, If they
do. there viii be little left Of the Excise Act after
they ahall have each had hack at it,

fortunate. With Mr. Banks, we have repeatedly
and pointedly differed, and in each instance have
expressed our own views with entire freedom as
we propose to do hereafter, should an occasion be
presented. We had no desire that Mr.. b. should
or should not be the Republican candidate for Gov

against him in our columns. Had the choice OF
our friends fallen on George s. Boutwell,
or Joseph Grnnell, we should have heartily
seconded it. But they have selected Mr..
Banks as their standard. bearer, aid we entreat
sincere Republicans not TO be inveiged into fac.

The conclusions from these statistics are those
which experienced persons have long held In re-

ment, or even the stress Of poverty, are 80 much
tie powerful causes Of the evil, as idleness,
ignorance, into1icstion and above all, the evil e1-
ample and the neglect Of parents. This unfortu-

not cut of BY distinct line in their origin from
the other poor w.men who are in honest business
They are IN fact only go many instances, collected
out of large population, of the fruits OF parental

Afa-or Wood and his conspirators a

Mayor Weed and his conspirators are loud in
their claim that the majority Of the people of, the
city shall rule in all local government, and talk uu-
ceasingly Of the justice and policy Of giving to the
voters their choice Of men to control the Police.
Readers who DO not remember our complicated
election returns may be unaware Of the hypocrisy
of this babble by noisy minority; and for their
benefit We subjoin the Official figures bearing upon
the subject. The defunct Police Commissioners
were made up of the Mayor, the Recorder and the
City Judge. Two of them were elected lsst No
yember on the Buchanan ticket, and were backed
by all the prestige of fierce National contest, In
which their dishonesty and general unhtness Tor
their places were overlooked or reluctantly swal-
lowed by the mass Of the Democratic voters. Yet,
while Mr.. Buchanan got nearly A., 600 votes, being
clear msority of 800 over all other candidates,
our blatant Police Commissioners show as follows:
Mayor-wOOd Judss-Rus'eil...'s = ~
AL othes.'''''to@S <+'V"''''',
M,i. against wOod.s,Sss MAJ. against RUSSELL 1878
Here is an average majority of more than $4,000
again.t the men who claim that they are the popu-
lar choice for Police Commissioners; and these are
the two who practically kicked the Recorder out
Of the Board although he could claim the honor of
getting in by almost as large minority as either OF
the Others, bis vote being % 430 to a. O2 against
him. showing the handsome figure of 633 less than
majority. Yet the Mayor and City Judge, having
only about two ffths of the popular vote, and run
ming twenty per cent behind their own tickets,
are now prati0g of the rights of majorities in all
Local and oeneral Governments
And their hackers in the Common Council show
about the same proportion of popularity. Mr.
Clancy 20 President of the Aldermen, had but
eco ol. of 2,779 votes, leaving majority Of l,Vo9
against him. Of the nine Democratic Aldermen
elected last November, six are minority members,
their aggregate vote being about 5000 to l3,ooo
opposed. In the Board of Councimen, the same
is trus the President had but 46l out of 81 votes;
the Chairman of the Finance Committee but 4o3
out of 1907; and the more than Democratic sup
porter of the Mayor from the XIVth Distrct-the
-L~.,.;o- ~s Htha rnaioritv"-
only 547 out Of poll of GOA, or about onethird Of
the popular vote.
1t would be superfuous to point out further in
stances of the hollOwness Of this pretense Of sub
mission to the will of the majority 1t is in direct
violation of that pretense that these noisy Office
holders get and keep their places.
