NEW York, Aug. ~.
TIiE ARATIDIR QUESTION.


rHE ARArIoIR QUESTION
The statistics of the meat supply of New
/ York, Will probably astonish the peaceful
I citizen who has never given attention to
/ the subject further than TO order and pay
for his daily rations of beef and mutton.
In the Communipaw Abattoirs. last year,
10000 hogs, $50, $50 sheep and 4. 900 bull
locks were slaughtered, the business
amounting 10 an aggregate of more than
Forty Millions Of Dollars. The meat Of
the bIllocks and sheep were sold chiefly to
the Washington Market dealers, the hogs
went to the porA-packing ESTABLISHING nts
in New York and Brooklyn. To this
enormous amount is TO be added the supply
furnished from the private slaughterng-
houses, which are owned by butchers In a
small way Of business. A proposition Is
now before the Board OF Health for the
concentration OF all the Strengthening proc
esses carried on In this City. into one Inn
rnen~c establishment on the North River,
be, tween Thiriy-ninih aud Forty-rirst
streets. The chief argument In its favor
being the apprehension that all the slaugh-
tcrers will be driven out OF the city, to the
Injury Of local interests and TO the adj
vantage OF New Jersey. II this class Of
public nulsanccs is welcome to Jerseymen,
let them enjoy the toll benefit New York
can get on without such aids 10 its loca,
enterprise.
THE GoosE-QUlLL BRIGADE.
Well, We are 10 have a journalistic rife
match at Creedmoor. Press dinners. press
excursions. press free favors Of all other
Kinds we have had hitherto. but never be-
fore a press shooting match. What shall
be the target: A colored man or Modoc;
tariff document or free trade proriso'
\ Salary grab bill or a Credit MobIlier
bond: These are important preliminaries
TO settle. The eye that has been fixed in
tent on one Of these objects all the while.
cannot descend 10 an ordinary bulls-eye
Then. in what order shall the contestants
step up to the line: But all these details
confuse the mind. We respectfully ask
the National Rifle Association for further
Information.
JOURNALISTIC SENSATION.
To the ''looker on In Venice" there Is
always something of interest TO be seen.
He chronicles no end of queer stories
which grow ont of no end of queer actions
and in time the scribe who jots down the
savings and dongs OF all sorts and condi-
tons of men, finds the same old stories
repeating themselves, the same old actions
being reproduced until he tires OF the
hackneyed round of his labors. But now
aud then genuine sensation comes
athwart his vision and 1t is relished As is
new sauce TO stalled g9urmand, of this
order is the imbroglio between Winston Of
the Mutual Life and Romans, who was
erst while of the same great institution.
The thing came about in this wise. A
newspaper interviewer" got President
Winston under an exhausting pump and
put home questions TO him so sharply that
Winston had to disclose the fact-hereto-
fore kept quiet out of a mistaken regard |
for Homan's-that Romans had been dis |
missed Tor ''unfaithfulness, incompetency, |
obstinacy, impractibility, and insubordina- |
tion"-causes enough TO have had man |
shot in war times. Well, Romans got !
was supposed to be a regular crusher, but
il didn't seem to crush much, for Winston
simply quoted the official reports of the
Board of Trustees and Of the Policy hold
ers, over the signatures OF those officials,
and this has settled Romans case, and the
insurance world and the world of those
interested ia such matters have been
amused and instructed by his utter dis
comtiture.
THE sCYTHE OF THE CHANGERS.
The latest sensation in the newspaper
world is the establishment Of a weekly
paper entitled The Scy.he, devoted entirely
to the interests of the patrons of Hus-
bandry throughout the United States
Politics are to be ignored-unless the
of the Changers eliminates in
new party We suppose; and Railway and
other monopolies inimical to the farmers
and producers are to be fought with bare
steel and at all quarters. The Scythe has
located in the magnificent structure known
As Bennett Buildiugs-by the way the
shrewdest enterprise the Herald has
achieyed-on Ann, Fulton and Nassau
streets. From knowledge Of the men
and the money behind the enterprise
coupled with the fact that the mere an
of the establishment of such
paper is attracting great attention among
