THE CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE
EARME RS.

There has evidently been conspiracy
formed to rob the farmers OF the West.
We are not sure that the great railroad
companies are not parties to it, for the
purpose of furnishing the Changers for
their war on the railroads.
A late number of the Milwaukee
Journal Of Commerce, good author

which may be directly attributed to the men
who, having avarice without knowledge,
hare so artifciolly manipulated the Western
wheat market as to stop all receipts, at time
when they are most needed, and have been
always heretofore forthcoming

In view Of the threatened ice famine (by the
dealers) the New York papers are discussing
how to exc out the supply, and consider able is
said as to the amount wasted In the courss of a
season 1t is estimated that at least ene-third
In amount OF the Ice annually used Is wasted.
Probably as far south as washi ngton the pro.
portion wasted is yet higher. 1t Is the habit of
the Ice men to dump ice like so much coal, at
the doors OF customers, and nothing is more
common than to see blocks of ice thus deposited
melting away on the doorsteps and pavem ents
ana such carelessness Is displayed by servants
that frequently the puddles OF water extend
quite across the footwalk before the Ice Is taken

70 the same waste when within the house. In
stead OF being placed in the refrigerstors to bs
preserved for cooling water, it Is broken into
small Jumps and dropped into pitchers to bs

more rapidly by breaking it into fine pieces and
serving It On plates. A reform in the matter of
Ice waste Is In order.

New York City Bankrupt I

The independent press have been giving 90
much volunteer attention to the aff.irs OF our
little District Of Columbia that their home mn
nicipsi affairs have been going to the dogs With
out attracting the attention Of these yiSilsnt
guardians OF the public interests. The New
YORK Tribune 10 now alarmed to discover that
the debt Of that city has increased $50 481
In three years, and calculates that the steady,
uninterrupted increase OF the debt must be
stopped, or bankruptcy will before many years
stare the m In the face. There were issued in the
month OF April bonds to the amount Of "a 500 $50,
and among the items are IS, 900 for repairs OF
sewers, and IN equal amount for repairs OF pub
lie school buildings. It Is q disgrace, the editor
ssyr, that the great city OF New York can
not spend as 900 for repairing sewers or q
public school building, without issuing bonds
There is s1s9, 500 for Croton water, Sis 900 for
docks and slips, s26 900 for Boulevard 100000
for park Improvements, sos 900 for street i'm
provements, and s75 900 for vacated assess
ments; q total OF 500, 500 for these purposes.
and all In one month. And these improvements.
and this rate OF debt increase, have been going
on for years, and years on years will elapss be-
lore the Improvements are finished whatever
may happen in the mesntims to the debt The
policy OF expanding money at the rate of AZ
per cent. on the assessed valuation and RAISING
from taxes, assessments AMI other sources but
81 per cent. Is ruinous. Economy, indeed. IA
never out Of place, the Tribune adds. but il ia
TOO late for economy to redeem the past. The
choice held out to the citizens of New York ia
heavy taxation or the inevitable bankruptcy of
their municipal government
1t certainly seems TO us that New York should
be CoDgressionally investigated.
