less than 500 for each gas-light displaced. The
gas rate this year is $17. The other bid pro-
poses to displace 555 gas-jets in Madison ana
Union Squares, Fifth-ave., etc, at cost OF
S7,4OO, which is only Sl3 for each gas-isu,p
displaced. The superiority of the new light
need hardly he suggested. The prachcabhity
and beauty of the electric light for public use
is a demonstrated fact, whatever may he SAID
of its domestic use, and municipal boards and
g.s-company stockholders must accept the new
situation.
One thing must I've said howcver-that the
experiment of lighting the streets with cleo
tricity. AS exhibited on Broadway cannot be
called successful. The lights are either too far
apart, or too feeble, or are too high up
in the air. Perhaps all of these things
are true in part. The chief trouble Is
probably, however, in the light itself
which seems too weak for the work 1t is
irving to do. If the city should accept the
bid of this company, care should be taken to
secure an efficient system of lights, and stpn-
lations will be needed on all the three points

Electric STREET LAMPS.

If it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction
of the authorities that the electric light com
pany which has made a bid for lighting GER
tain portions of the city will furnish sufficient
light for sum no greater, on the average,
than is now paid for gas-lamps, there is no
conceivable reason why we should not have
the brilliant electric lights in the streets in
place Of the feeble yellow gas-jets. The com
pany which has made the bid referred to offers
to displace more than LOO gas lights on
Broadway from Forty -ffth-st. TO the South
Ferry, Fifth and Eighth-aves. from Four
teenth TO Folty-ifth-st, and on the wide
cross-town streets-Fourtecnth Twenty third,

,e rate by rail from St. Paul to New-York is

the rate by rail from st. Paul to New-York is
33 cents per bushel The river route, though
not enough used now to influence railroad rates
materially, as these quotations show, is liable to
be very largely used whenever the possibility of
selling 2OO,OOO,O0O bushels of wheat from the
Northwest depends upon the cost Of transporta
ton thence to Liverpool. Then it will doubtless
be found that grain can be moved from Mime
sofa to Liverpool for less than half the cost of
transportation allowed by the British Commits
sion. In short the British farmer, who &C
knOwledged that he could not hope to compete
with American grain costing in England less
than 81 43 per bushel, may find that he is
obliged to sell his own grain at less than 81 Is
per bushel, in order to keep the home market
for himself. 1t is not necessary to say that one
season of such competition would put stop to
wheat-growng on u great many farms in Eng
land.

JNTyupERlNCE AND CRIME.

The Massachusetts, Bureau of Statistics of
Labor, which has done much excellent work
during the past twelve years, and furnished
students of social problems and practical lcgis-
lators u great deal of valuable information, has
widened its field of labor of late, and in its last
annual report, just published, goes with great
thoroughness into the question of the influence
of intemperance upon crime. II took up the
County of Suffolk at the beginning of the year
1880, and sought by careful investigation of all
criminal cases brought before the courts to as
certain the connection between intoxicating
drinks and crime in the five following dircc-
tons: l. Whether the criminal was under the
influence of liquor at the time the crime was
committed; 2. Whether the criminal was in
liquor at the time he formed the intent to com
nit the crime; 3. Whether the incorporate
habits of the criminal were such "a tn lead ~ u

Republican Senators are in favor OF suspend

the more important Of the Presidents no'ni-
nations to be confirmed. conference If 10

could be taken without any abatement by the
Republicans of the position they have firmly
adhered to from the beginning. No resolution
has ever been adopted that no nominations shall
be acted upon until the officers of the Senate
have been chosen. The business for when the
session is called is to pass upon nominations
and if the Republicans went into executive
session for time, distinctly stating before
hand that it was done for the sake OF preSrrv-
ing an efficient Government service the wh"'e
country would know that it was not retreat.

Senators to decide. The best sentiment oil the

have made, and will have equal confidence ID

The benevolent public of New-York have
never been accused of keeping their charity at
home. The subscriptions for the victims Of
the earthquake i'll SciO amount to $1,000
those for the sufferers in Dakota to a little
more than 1000 The Dakota list began
later than the other and if there is any dis
proportion, it will probably disappear.
A number of the Third Avenue car-drivers
struck yesterday. There has been an impress
sion that car-drivers Ms a class are slightly
overworked, but it must have been erroneous.
The statement of one of the strikers shows
that the Third Avenue men drive only seventy
five miles day, and have no less than fifteen
minutes for dinner at that.
The railroads are displaying greater inter-
est in the Worlds Fair-or, rather, one rail-

evidently encouraged. Mr.. Vanderbilt is be-
ieyed to have agreed yesterday to make the

the same. This is the first symptom of active
interest in the project the railroads have shown.

pearances be fought squarey on National issues.
The contest will not be complicated by fractional dis
