mr.. TILDEN AND NEW-YORK.

1t begins to dawn upon the Democratic
mind that New-York will prove very hard
nut to crack. Long ago, The TRIBUNE called
attention to the fact that it would be found
very hard to carry this State for Mr.. Tilden
as the Democratic candidate, and at least
equally hard to carry 1t for any other candi-
date nominated over his head For months,
the statement was received with derision.
Now it is made, day after day, with an the
earnestness of deep conviction and strong
personal interest, by the leading Democratic
journals Mr.. Tilden, they say with truth,
is opposed, and to the end will be opposed,
not by Mr.. Kelly, but by large body Of
Democratic voters, who have other leaders to
whom they are much attached, and who will
be lust as stubborn in resisting the schemes
of Cipher Alley, whether Mr.. Kelly lives or
dies, whether he continues to fight or makes
peace for himself This Is but the plain
truth. 1t would be folly to suppose that
the Democratic element upon which Mr..
Tilden has declared war without quarter
can be seduced by brides or frightened into
submission by threats. 1t would be political
death to these men to permit Mr.. Tilden to
succeed, and they know it right well. II they
are to 90 to political graves, they will at least
drag him down with them.
These facts the Democratic Journals have
begun to state very plainly, and with great
wealth of illustration and reasoning. But they
generally show disposition to shirk the other
horn of the dilemma as much as possible.
What Is to be expected, if Mr. Tiden is forced
from the track by Democratic opposition in New
York; What sort of support will he and bis
friends give to candidate nominated over
his head, and in disregard of his claims on
account of the "great fraud" of 1857 If
he is to be set aside, and branded as unworthy
of the confidence of his party, because of his
behavior in 1876. his connection with cipher
dispatches and negotiations for electoral
votes, his non-payment of income taxes, or
his part in railroad wreckings, what sort of
support will a candidate get who is preferred to
him This question the Democratic journals do
not ask quite 30 often or so faithfully as they
might In New-YOrk, beyond a doubt, Dir.
Tilden represents the stronger wing of the
party. He can undoubtedly influence more
votes, by mere indifference and lukewarmness,
than his foes can command by open and
bitter hostility. If the party is doomed to de-
feat. i'm case of O nomination which arouses
that hostility is it not as surely doomed to
defeat in case of q nomination which sends
Mr.. Tilden and his friends into sour and
sulkng retirement
1t is said by some Democrats that some
candidate can be found who will be heartily
accepted by both elements. No one ventures,
however, to mention the man for whom Mr..
Tiden and his opponents will both work
heartily. That his name is not Seymour, Mr.
Tilden can easily convince any doubter. That
it is not Bayard has been evident ever since
Mr.. Bayard's name was proposed by the Tam
many chieftains. On the other hand. if Mr..
Tilden should bring forward any candidate as

BRITISH POLICY IN THE EAST

Sir Henry RawlinsOD, who is responsible for
many Of the vagaries of British policy in the
East. contributes to the current number OF
The Nineteenth Century a striking article on the
military situation in AfghaDistan. He advo-
Gates the incorporation of JellAabad within
the Iudi IN frontier and the permanent occu-
nation of Candahar. He contends that after
the uprising of Mahomed JAMS followers at
Ghuznee has been suppressed Cabul must be
kent within arms length and Herat brought
within striking distance of Il British army by
the establishment of a Candahar outpost. SO
long as Herat remains in state Of anarchy
il invites the presence of Russian intrguers,
and Kaufman would be tempted to make
descent upon it after rapid and successful
advance upon Merv. He recommends, there
fore. the transfer of Herat to Persia, the right
Of maintaining British garrison being ex-
nressly reserved as a guarantee that the
Teheran Government will not hand over the
city to Russia.
The policy which is defined with precision
bv Sir Henry Rawinson has evidently been
received with favor 10y the Ministry. The
capture of Ghuznee will BE the first undertake
ing of the Spring campaign. and the perma-
nent occupation Of Jellalabad and Candahar
is q foregone conclusion. The negotiations
with Persia may not have been concluded, but
they have gone Ear enough to Indicate that
the traditional policy of the British Govern
ment in regard to Herat has been reversed.
When the Persians captured the city in 1856.
in violation of treaty with Great Britain,
war was declared against them, and after they
had been defeated by 0utram and Havelock
they sued for peace and consented to restore
the city to the Afghans The British are now
importunate in their demands that the Per-
slams shall take again and hold permanently
what was wrested from them in the campaign
of 1857.
This change of policy Is grounded on the
instability of civil government in Afghanis-
tan. Sir Henry Rawllnson considers that the

IL is not often that Government Commissions
are of much value save TO the members Of
them who are enabled to enjoy good living
good salaries and good deal of pleasant
travel at the expense of the Treasury. A
notable exception to the rule is furnished, how
ever, by the Land Commission. an abstract Of
whose forthcoming report was given yesterday in
our Washington dispatches. This Commission
appears to have gone about its work in Il thor
ough fashion and to have got hold of the
worst evils of the present land system. The
reforms which it proposes viii, in the mann,
commend themselves TO every one who Is
familiar with the Far West. Among these re-
forms are the abolition of the presumption syS
TEN, which is now perverted 50 that It's chief
use is to increase the size of individual hold
ings the classification of the public domain
into arabic, iTrigable, pasture, timber and min
eral lands, and the adoption Of special regula-
tons for the settlement and sale of each. Three
other provisions which the report is said to
contain strike ia as particularly desirable
Ono encourages the formation Of colonies by
pernitting homestead settlers to live IN Il vii
lage instead Of upon the quarter sections they
own and cultivate another reserves absolutely
the arabic land for homestead occupation; and
the third protects the scanty forests Of the
West by providing for the sale of the timber
and its removal within specified time, re-
serving the land from sale in OF der that it may
produce a new growth of trees.
The legislation proposed in regard to min
cral lands is also to be commended. 1t seems
to strike Squarely at the vices of the present
system under which man buying mining
claim is pretty sure to buy two or three law
suits.
The faults OF the existing land system
manly grow out of the fact that it was
adopted before the vast semi-arid regions Of
the West and the great mineral districts of
the Rocky Mountains and the Sierras were
known. 1t is tolerably well adapted to deal
ing with the settlement of an almost
uniformly fertile country like tho prairie
States, but it does not fit at all the pastoral
belt that lies beyond the strictly arabic re-
gion. or the wooded slopes and gulches of the
mountains, or the mining territory, or the mar
row strips Of valleys that can be made fertile by
irrigation The Commission has wisely set
about making such notifications as Will en-
courage the development Of the heart of the
Continent, where other industries than ordinary
farming must be resorted to if the country is
to support Il stable population.

has a clear profit OF over $60OOO0 on steei
rails purchased for it's Owensboro line, which,
in view of the probable harmonious cooper
alton or virtual consolidation of interests with
the Louisville aud Nashville, it may now
be found undesirable to build, SO that
the rails can be sold and the profit
realized. Mr.. Vanderbilt too, has realized
great gain on rails purchased about a year
ago, and some of the new railroads built
within the year 1879 actually cost at least
one-thirtl less than they would cost If built
at the present prices OF materials. But
the desire TO complete new lines does not seem
to be checked materially 10y the enhance
ment of the cost, and, in truth, the
prospect of good earnings has increased
quite as much Us the cost OF building On
some OF the newer roads, especially, wheIe
the growth of the adjacent region in popula-
ton and prOductiveness is rapid, and where
no sharp competition prevents the charging
of high rates for transportation. the gain III
gross and net earnings is surprisingly large.
There is some movement toward higher
prices at length in the coal business, owing
TO the arrangement to stop production during
three DAYS of each week until after April l,
but the advance is small as yet. The tonnage
delivered thus fur this year is unusually large,
namely, 2,357,012 tons from January l to
February Il, inclusive, against 2,2Ol,2I4
for the same time last year, 1,56T396
tons for the same time in 1873. and only
973,345 tons for the same time in 1879. 10
those not Immediately interested in the mining
or transportation, it is a very encouraging
fact that the consumption has been 50 greatly
increased by low prices, but it Is believed Id
the trade that a temporary checking OF pro-
duction will enable the demand to overtake the
supply, and lead to higher prices thcnceforward
without any dminution OF consumption. In
the petroleum business also there is an en0r-
nous increase in deliveries. The receipts mt
New-York from January l 10 February Is
were 500, O75 gallons of crude, against
1O.37S.3 gallons for the same time last year;
and 7,O46,02 gallons refined, against 683,7
gallons last year. The exports from this city
for the year up to February Is were 40, OO6.O6o
gallons, against 2O775,7S1 gallons for the
same time last year, and I'm increase proportion
ately almost as large appears at Philadelphia
but at Baltimore the gain has been much smaller

orr MILK SUPPLY.

The importance of pure milk supply for the
New-York market can hardly be exaggerated
Cheap milk is desirable but, Inasmuch as the
400 600 quarts which daily come to this market
barely furnish one-third Of pint to each in-
habitant of the cities which grouped about New
York Harbor, II ought not to be much OF hard
ship to pay for this small quantity price
which will yield honest dealers and producers a
reasonable profit One thing is certain 80 long az
farmers cannot produce pure milk for the prices
they receive the city will be served with blue milk
and unwholesome milk.
It is no wonder that the farmers have
been aroused to form associations Tor SELL
protection, but it is matter of regret
that producers and consumers should organize
against each other, rs if the normal at
titude of the two classes was one OF I'M
pacable hostility. Fortunately, their inter
ests are identical. The honest trader SUI
fers from competition with irresponsible pedlers
who underscll them with skinned milk. Just IA the
honest producer suffers from competition WIN MS

diet and the children who slcen on the fcyer-laden
milk they yield are not the only sufferers. ms
corrupt traffic is an unhealthy element in the trade.
and reputable producers and dealers have a common
interest in it's suppression.
Ii the supply OF this essential article of diet could
be recognized as universe ~ pure the demand would
increase so as TO take in all tie milk from the new
districts which are annually brought within trans
porting distance Of the city by new roads and IN
creased facilities offered by the old ones. 1t is an
encouraging symptom when farmers offer to CO.
operate with the city milk exchanges, rs they DID
yesterday IN securing practical legislation against
adulterated milk, and when dealers. recognizing
the fact that milk farmers have been underpaid
during the Winter are willing TO forego Oh apparent
advantage and agree to pay more than the price
they had contracted for during the late season OF
business depression.
