Until now the policy of maintaining
prices by limiting production has been
applied to but one of the great necessa-
ries Of life, viz. coal, and in that in
stance it has been so carefully applied
that the result has not been apprecisbly
felt by the people. But now the New
York sugar refners have sdoD.ei IL IN
such very jealous fashion as will proba-
t5iy bring a thorough appreciation of its
efficacy home to consumers. A reduction
of one-third in the production of the
great sugar refneres of New York city
must, it seems, more than maintain
prices. If the business, properly con-
Quoted, is unremunera tive at present
rates, no one can reasonably object to
whatever advance is necessary TO ensure
adequate remuneration for the capital
and labor employed. but the danger in
these combinations for the removal of
competition is that more than fair remu-
neration will be sought and exacted
from consumers. In this instance, either
the sugar refners must have been run
ming at very heavy loss or the refners
are seeking unduly large profits.

Here is another gentle utterance from
the san Francisco Chronicle: THE tone
Of the Southern press and people on the
calamity that has fallen upon the Presi-
dent is all that the most patriotic heart
could wish. They have responded 10
the general sorrow Of the nation with
fully as much sense of sffiiction as the
people Of the North and West, and
manifest quite as much indignation and
horror, and that, too, without any faint
of party feeling. From the Potomac to
the Rio Grande every principal town
aud city has manifested, in some way
or other, the griet and distress Of
the inhabitants, and their sincere
confidence with the President, his
family aud Cabinet Not harsh note
has, so far, been sounded from that
quarter Of the Union since the occur
renee of the event There could be no
clearer demonstration of the entire re-
construction of Southern political senti-
ment, and its return to perfect loyalty
to the Constitution and Union, than this
staggering event has afforded from that
quarter II leaves no room for doubt
that Richmond. the old Confederate
capital, and Charleston, that fired the
first shot IN rebellion, are now as true
to the old flag and as fondly attached to
our national institutions as Washington
and Boston, and as thoroughly imbued
with the tender feelings of humanity"

tute Sunday for Saturday as the day for

A MEAN HoAx.-0n Wednesday last
Mr. Cyrus W. Field received a postal
card, purporting to be signed by
Samuel Fosdick, a wealthy Cincinnatian,
saying: Draw on me for 5000 for
Mrs. Garheld's fund" which was done.
and the fact announced in the New
York afternoon papers. That the send
ing Of the card was fraud not unmixed
with malice against Mr.. Fosdick, who is
one of the Oldest citizens of Cincinnati,
is proved by the following dispatch sent
to the New York Tribune from the Office
of the Cincinnati Gazette Wednesday
night:
"a reporter called at Samuel FOsdick's
house this evening and found that be had
been sick and confined to his room for
the past three weeks. He has not heard
of the Garfield fund. The postal card
was the work of some malicious person,
who chose a most unreasonable time for
the display of his wit. as Mr.. Fosdick is
likely not to recover from his illness"

work in our sister State.

Everybody in New York had a fish
dinner on the 18th, and they want to at
tribute it to the comet. The moss
bunker feet had just left port for the
fisheries. and was passing Rockaway
when it encountered such a school of
weakfsh, alias white trout, as has not
been seen since the day that Peter drew
his nets On the sea Of Galilee. The nets
were thrown, ard in a few minutes every
boat was filed to the very brim. They
fastened back 70 New York to sell their
catch, but there were too many to sell
The fish market became thoroughly de-
moralized at once, prices fell to half
cent a pound, and the poor people Of the
city poured down n the wharves, where
fine i've pound fish could be procured
for two cents. Old sailors were willing
to swear that the comet was responsible
for this big school Of fish.

The Albany Souabble.

The monotony at Albany was broken
on Saturday by the election of Warner
Miller to succeed Thos. c. Platt in the
United States Senate. This was brought
about BY the action Of Speske4 Sharpe
and Others. who supported the bosses
from the beginning Of the deadlock
Sharpe announced his purpose Of voting
for Miller in the stalwart conference on
Friday. and great CONSERVATION prevailed.
Whether Lsphsm viii be elected 10 DAY or
within the week remains to be seen
Now that the administration men have
Senator to represent them, it may be that
Conkling's hackers will persevere in the
hone that he may yet be sent back. As
il is. however, Conkling is thoroughly
beaten. He set out with the announce
ment that both he and Plstt would be
returned Plat withdrew, It's true. but
he never would have been returned. and
if COnklng has spark Of pride left, he
too viii withdraw.
The most singular aspects of the
shameless struggle are that the half
breeds could have elected Depew several
times had they united on him, and that
Miller should have repeatedly failed Of
election when 20 votes were required
and secured 70 when but % were needed.
Sharpe led the revolt, and it is stated
that he has been tempted with the Bel
gisn mission. Ii is further said that
Arthur has fallen out with Conkling.
If it be true that Sharpe has been bought
It Is well that the scramble should end as
it began-a struggle for spOils between
the factions that hardly rose above the
level of a squabble Of dogs over well
filed bone.
No more disgusting spectacle ever dis
graced American politics, aud the most
revolving feature Of it was that it was
kept st its height when he, for whose
humiliation it was begun, was face to
face with death. Insolence, debsuchery,
treschery and greed have marked the
wrangle throughout, and the best news
that can come from the corrupt capital
is that it is over. even though its termi.
nation should give the foremost State Of
the Union fgure-heads to represent IL
Should the Legislature adjourn without
filing ConklDg's seat, with the vote Of
David Davis the Democrats would have
one majority, as Arthur could not vote
save in case Of tie. The factions realize
this, and it is more than probable that
ConklIng's seat viii be filed by means
Of voluntary or purchased deseFti5ns.

Ex Governor Hunt says that the force
Of workingmen engaged in building the
Denver and Rio Grande Railways is
larger in numbers than the United States

gagged in hammering spikes, laying rails,
digging through cuts and putting in
bridges. When the work is completed
there will be under control Of the COM
pany 2, 400 miles Of road in old Mexico,

nent in the alleged frauds. The post
Office officials say that their evidence is
not only of q character to indict the
conspirators. but that it is ample to Sc
cure conviction as well. The delay in

his personal revenge the opportunity of
making q political change IN the Presi-
dency. Il is vain for Mr.. Conkling TO
try TO drown the fact that if there had
not been bitter warfare opened upon
the President by faction of the Re
publican party, ard if it had not been
notorious that the Vice President was in
sympathy with that faction, and that
the Presidents death would give if a
victory greater than the widest fancy
