The lee Industry,

1t may not be generally known, but
the capital employed in the ice bushes,
in the United States aggregates over
$25, 000, 900, and the annual sales reach
at least $4,000, 900. This has become
an important industry, and, in he past
forty years experience in this business,
lately has shown that the crops of ICE
for the seasons consumption cannot
always be depended on. Aud more than
this, when it is considered that a large
outlay must be made for a considerable
period before the season opens sufficiently
to commence its sale, and the consequent
loss by wastage, naturally makes its
production ~artiticislly during the sum
mer months a very important question,
and has engaged the attention OF many
inventors. Although quite q number OF
excellent machines tor this purpose have
been constructed, it must be admitted
that no one has yet succeeded in pro-

tions of New York with the same points;
and another advantage in favor of the
Pennsylvania Central and the Baltimore
and Ohio is that with all roads south
OF Cleveland these form more direct and
natural connection than with the New York
roads, and the distance being shorter they
can offer to the Western roads better in
ducements to exchange traffic freely with
them, for the simple reason that on the
shorter distance their proportion OF the rate
is larger.
From these facts the conclusion is in.
evitable that it is not for the New York
roads to dictate rates to the trunk lines in
competition with them. These roads have
double duty TO perform, the one being
embraced in the other. They have to serve
their own interests and protect the trade Of
New York city, in which their interests are
centred With their longer connections
they have to work at lower rate per ton
per mile. The competing lines running
through States south of us are therefore
masters Of the situation with respect to
rates, and anything short OF legalized act
which would apply general rates to all
competing lines running East and West
would certainly operate injuriously to the
trade of New York, without substantially
benefiting any local interest. 1t is there
fore time that the New York roads should
arrange their local rates upon fair and, as
far as possible, uniform basis, if they would
insure security at home and be strong
enough to compete with their Southern
rivals for the Western trade.

Pure MILK.

The late discussion by the Bedford Farm
er's Club upon milk, its quality and its
delivery to customers in as good condition
as when it leaves the dairy, would have
been opportune at any time, but just at
present it particularly interests the thou
sands and tens of thousands of parents
whose children have for several months
been drinking pure milk in the coun-
try and now are suddenly dependent
again upon the milkman's cans and
honesty. Add to the thousands Of
inf,nts who belong to such parents the
hundred thousand or more that in New
York and vicinity subsist entirely upon
milk, and the question becomes of in
finitely more vital consequence than city
politics or the gubernatorial contest, for
while wicked politicians can steal nothing
more valuable than money the dishonest
milkman takes life ut q most alarming rate.
The plan proposed by the club is one which
will benefit all concerned, for it looks
to direct delivery by New York agent of
the dairymen, SO that the latter will get
good prices for their milk, while the con-
sumer will receive pure article. Whether
the farmers, to use their own expression,
s'cross the breed of the COWS with pump"
is question to which there have been diff
ferent answers, but TO one doubts tho
prevalence among city milkmen of the
habit of watering; the operation has
come TO bo SO common that many
Of the rnscals perform it without any
pretonce of secrecy, and attempt to justify
themselves by declaring that unaduiterated
milk is too heating to be healthy. Almost
as shameful is the custom OF skimminp
milk, by which the fluid is robbed of the
cream which gives II large part of its
value as food. Perhaps, however, honest
darymen and trustworthy city agent may
no. DO equal to tho task Of sending the
consumer what he pays for. One farmer
writes to the HERALD to say that he sends
daily about fifteen hundred quarts to New
York !; that mono of it is ever skinned
before he ships il, yet tho dealers complain
that il is destitute Of cream when it reaches
them. Where is tho robbery performed
and by whom? Perhaps the proposed assoca-
ton may find it necessary to ship in locked
cars, or in charge of a specially selected
set of train hands. Whatever may be the
methods decided upon, the result will bo
awaited with degree and quality of in
terest that is never manifested in any other
department of trade, for, literally, thou
sands Of precious lives depend upon it.

Emancipation TIA Cuba.

A wholesome desire is growing in Spain
to pay prompt attention to the condition of
affairs in Cuba and to provide n remedy.
The revols in the eastern provinces of tho
island has assumed proportions recalling
the last struggle, but still bears the charac-
teristcs OF servile uprising. Fearing Tor
their estates, several large slave owners in
Holguin ard Santiago dc Cuba have, it is
stated, already emancipated their slaves,
and contracted with them for three years
labor at wage rate. 1t is scarcely likely
that this course will be pursued in tho
western or even in the central provinces
within reach of Havana, and there the bulk
of the slaves are held. But the knowledge
that demonstration was enough to
obtain the freedom of their fellow
slaves in tho East will bo pro-
MUM upon insurrection il these provinces.
and this will make the slave owners all
through the island ready to consider favor
ably any governmental plan for thorough
emancipation. Although wo hear from
Spain that several Deputies are resolved to
move in tho Cortcs for immediate abolition
without indemnity, there is no proof that
the government will adopt any such pro-
gr~mme. Indeed, the danger to Cuba lies
The New York herald., 1879-09-27

In the fact that at the last moment some
half measure will be adopted that will
make emancipation mockery and in
nowlse secure peace. General Campos,
who had pretty clear conception OF the
corrupt motives which prevailed on the
Spanish side to keep the late long struggle
alive, should be able to reach the bottom of
this question at once and without the
sinister aid of the Havana clubs devise a
radical cure for Cuba's troubles. Absolute
emancipation is the sine qua non, the ques-
ton Of Naturalization or non-indemni-
fication of the slave owners being one for
the Spanish conscience. Emancipation is
a necessity.

The Astley Race.

The interest in the Ashley belt contest was
greatly increased yesterday by the sudden
drawing near Of Merritt and Hazael to the
leader, who barely succeeded in keeping
few miles between himself and those who
were in hot pursuit of him during the day
and evening. The gap of thirty-fve miles
which had intervened between the
foremost and the last Of this trio
earlier in the week was reduced to eighteen
miles at midnight of Friday, Merritt occu-
pying middle place between Rowell
and Hazael. This close racing at
the end of five days gave q zest
to the affair which was wholly
unlocked for yesterday, and ON immense
crowd was in attendance at the Gar
den last evening. II the story Of the
day could rest with this statement
it would be pleasant one to chronicle,
but the cause OF this loss to Rowell of his
heretofore long lead is portion, and an
unhappy portion, Of the record of the
match. At about daybreak on Friday
a stranger leant upon the railing
of the track and offered Rowell,
as he had offered the others, some
grapes he had in his hand. They
all accepted the offer as they might
have accepted flowers or other trif1es
which are presented constantly to the
men. All except Rowell deposited
the fruit in their tents as they
passed. Rowell eat the grapes. and in an
hour afterward he was lying in his tent in
state, as DR.. Naylor says, of almost utter
collapse Everything was done for him by
willing hands, and fortunately he recovered
sufficiently to 60 again upon the track, but
only after many precious miles had been
lost There is but one theory offered to
account for his sudden illness, though we
are 10th to accept it as indicating the true
cause of his trouble. ''Unless the grapes
were poisoned" says Dr. Naylor, "they
could not have brought him, in one hour,
to such dangerously feeble condition.
When came to his side he was almost dy-
ing" Surrounding circumstances, as they
are now understood. so strongly indorse this
view OF the matter that we can offer no
let us hope that future Develop
ments will show that the theory is
another case of mistaken conclusions
based on circumstantial evidence. Rowell
himself expresses this hope as strongly.
Meanwhile, we congratulate the plucky
little Briton on his recovery, and trust that
we will hear tonight Of his safe arrival at
the end of long journey. An affair
is referred to in our reports from the
Garden published to-day, which does not
add anything to the credit of the manages
ment, il its members are responsible for
the occurrence.
The New York herald., 1879-09-27

Kelly had not advertised that the sole aim
of his canvass is to elect Mr.. Cornell.
Mr.. Curtis is equally weak and as child
ishly foolish in the minor parts of his
argument. He maintains that ga differ
enco about a single candidate in two
lists of candidates which are equally
democratic" does not put Mr. Kelly's
supporters outside the democratic or
ganlzation. If all the candidates on the
respective State tickets held the same
rank this argument would be less verdant.
But the Governor is the only officer to be
elected who will possess any political
power. The other State officers perform
only ministerial duties and have no patron
age beyond the appointment Of a few clerks.
But the Governor makes all appointments,
has a negative on all laws and has large
powers in the removal of officers. All
the political power won in this election
will be lodged in the hands of the Governor.
1t is absurd to reason as if all the names in
the list of candidates stood for the
samo amount OF political power.
Mr.. Kelly's purpose to elect the
republican candidate for Governor is an
attempt to give the political fruits of the
election to the republican party; and it fol-
lows from hence that Tanlmany inspectors
of election would be equivalent to repubE-
can inspectors.
