A number of Philadelphia milk
dealers we're in town on Friday and
started out in different directions
through the surrounding county in
search Of farmers to supply them with
milk. The supply at the creamery is
not large at present, shout $500
quarts per day, as these men offer
advanced prices to the farmers in order
to get their milk One would hardly
suppose that a creamery with c.
pscity Of 5000 querts per day would
affect the Philadelphia retail market,
but It is true, nevertheless, from the
fact that dealers are compelled to scour
among the farmers for their supplies.

IMPROVEMENT OF ORDINANCES,
The trimming of the trees lining
many Of the streets Of our city and
which 10 Ia conformity to an ordinan--
ce governing The same, is every season
the subject Of considerable i'll feeling
upon the part of some who think it
an enroachment on their private
rights. Whatever force there may
be in such conclusions, citizens are
not justified in interfering with, or
condemning the cficsrs empowered
to exercise any law. Laws are sup
posed to be enacted tor the benefit Of
the community and this particular
ordinance was framed to keep the
branches Of the trees from dimming
our street gas lights aud for better
ventilation. The officers are restrict
ed by the law to certain height
above the gas lamps, and in no case
we believe have they transcribed
their authority. If the ordinance is
offensive, the remedy is in the people's
hands, petition Council to repeal it,
but as long as any law stands uure-
pealed, the officers are bound, no
matter who likes it or not, to carry
it out to the very letter, and they
should be upheld and commended
for so doing.

remarks "When Gen. Hancock wrote
a brief notc last September to Gov
ernor Plaisted, Of Maine, congratulat.
ing his old comrade in arms on his
election, It was commented on by
every Republican newspaper in the
land, and they all with one accord
agreed that u man who had the least
sympathy with Maine Greenbackers
could not bc trusted by tho business
interests OF the country and that be-
cause General Hancock tolerated q
party with such heretioal financial
views as Governor Plaisted professed,
that was reason sufficient for every
honest man in the nation to oppose
his election to the Presidency, But
how stands the matter nowY General
Malone with his doctrine of repudia.
ton, which is nothing more or less
than wholesale and unblushing rob.
berry and theft, is before the voters of
virginia, asking them for their sui.
frages. And we SEQ every agency of
the Republican party, from the Sen.
ate OF the United States clean down
to the petty Custom Honse officer, is
openly arrayed in his favor Senator
Frye, Of Maine, has written letter to
help Malone, and gives the weight Of
his influence in favor Of the wrong.
The Malone candidate for Attorney
General of Virginia, promises that us
soon as the Old Dominion has been
put in far way of rejecting her hon.

he can and will apply the principle of
