The st. John. Guild Marketing.

The st. Johns Guild Marketing.
We are afraid that the excellent Master Of
that noble charity-the ST. Johns Guild
is not good housekeeper on large scale.
He has been paying six dollars and
twenty-five cents per ton for coal, and
because one Wholesale company informs
him that it does not mine red ash-the
description Of coal he has been distributing
among the poor-and another Wholesale
company states that it cannot undertake
to deliver coal in quarter-ton lots
at any designated place below Fifty
ninth street, he despairs Of buying
the article at q lower rate. But there is no
particular necessity for the Master of the
Guild to confne himself to "red ash," and
as he can buy very excellent coal by the
cargo at three dollars and half ton he
might hire carts and distribute it all over
the city in any quantities he might desire at
a vastly less expense than two dollars and
seventy-fve cents per ton. Of course this
has not occurred to him in the multiplicity
of his charitable duties, but we believe he
might easily save from one dollar to ten
shillings ton by such an arrangement.
Then, again, we fear that the dealers inn
pose on the Master Of the Guild in the mat
ter of -four. IN reporting to the Comptroller
how he has expended fifteen thousand dol
lars given to the Guild by the city during
the last month he states that he has paid
So, 578 66 of the amount for 461 barrels of
-four, or fraction over 81 IS per barrel.
Now, the quotations yesterday were :-Su-
pertine. State and Western, So IS So IS ;
No. 2, 81 2Aa SIS; common to good extra
State, Sc O5 $6 20. All these brands
make excellent bread. if not Of the very
whitest color. Take the highest quota
ton, Sc 20, and the Master of the
Guild might have saved 81 55 barrel, or
S72O on the number of barrels purchased
with the city's money last month. The
prices we have quoted are wholesale; but
the -four is not carted over the city in quar-
ter barrel lots, and the Master of the Guild
can buy fifty barrels at time in the market
at wholesale rates. He will no doubt thank
us for this information, as it will enable the
Guild to save money and extend the area Of
it's useful charity.

Premier, was at least widely dissimilar from
Constantinople collision OF forces not
common in the British service. An Envoy,
with special instructions, acted in full
sympathy with Russia in tho en-
deavor to exact the Sultans consent to
certain reforms; while q resident Am
bassador, also it is to be supposed
under instructions, rnvelled the threads
Of the others web as fast as they were woven.
1t has been held that tho special envoy was
in possession of the views of the government
and that the acts of the Ambassador were parts
ofan underhand intrigue but it is part of the
policy Of the government apparently to as,
sumo that if there was collision ut Con-
stantinople it must have been the fault of
the special envoy. All this will be food for
great debates.
Perhaps the debate in the British Parlia-
mont, while it will certainly open up all
this scandal, will enlighten tho world some
what as to sudden variations in Russia's
temper with regard to war against Turkey.
Russia was certainly we'll informed with
regard to the real attitude OF the English
government toward the Sultan, and sppar-
emily had moro fifth in tho purpose of that
government to support Turkey than in the
appearance Of its cooperation with the
Conference. It is perhaps little

of that army are to be transferred to Jassy.

sanitary Security I'm the schoolroom.
One bill of the many introduced at Albany
during the first few weeks of the session de-
serves the earnest support of every member
of the Legislature. 1t is that introduced
by Mr. Gerard and which provides for tho
appointment of a competent sanitary in
spector whose duty shall be to protect the
children attending the public schools
from the evils arising from bad
sewerage and insufficient ventilation.
In their sanitary arrangements nearly
all our school buildings are sadly defective.
Being constructed after very much til Q same
plans no account seems to have been taken
of the special requirements of the several
sites as created by their character and sur
the primary laws of sanitary science las
characterized the local boards Of trustees
who have the management of the public
schools, and it is high time that
the State government should interpose its
authority in matter affecting SO closely
the public welfare. In many cases the
school buildings are erected in the centres
Of districts noted for bad sewerage and an
overcrowded population. The very air
breathed in the open street is loaded with
the noxious emanations from the sewers and
the accumulations OF filth that cucumber the
thoroughfares. When to these evils are
added the overcrowding and want Of proper
ventilation in the schools the consequences
cannot fail to be highly dangerous to public
health.
When it is remembered that the majority
of the children who attend the public schools
are already exposed in their homes to all the
evil influences Of bad drainage and foul mir.
and that they are of an age when the devel-
oping constitution is peculiarly susceptible
to injury from such causes, the importance
Of securing for them, during school hours, at
least, pure air and healthy surroundings, can
not be denied. The Sanitary Inspector of
Schools-and we hope that his powers will be
extended over all schools, public and pri-
vate-can investigate and remedy every de-
feet in the buildings occupied by our
children. If he will be, as he ought to
be, an expert in sanitary matters, and
is cheerfully sustained by the Commission
ers Of Education and the local boards of
trustees. we can look forward to reforma-
ticn in the present sanitary system in the
schools which will result in much benefit
to the public health.

The Reported Letter from Judge
Miller.

MILLER.
In another column will be found a state
ment from Mr.. Ballingcr, to whom it was re-
ported Judge Miller, OF the United States Su-
preme Court, had written letter commenting
with some acrmony upon the condition of
our politics and the course of the govern
ment. Mr.. Ballinger denies explicitly that
any such letter is in existence or was ever
received by him from Judge Miller. Ho
makes on explanation of facts upon which it
is possible an erroneous impression in re-
gard to the letter may have arisen. He
states that letter substantially like the one
referred to was written by him to Judge
Miller at the time referred to and was read
aloud in his Office, and that this, if any, is
the letter that was heard read by our in
formant This, at all events, plausibly
accounts for the story, and, taken in connec-
tion with Judge Miller's denial, may be
held Is exploding the report.
