THE MIX SUPPLY ELSEWHERE.

II will he seen from the accounts printed on
the third and fourth pages of to-day's TRIBUNE
that the milk farmers who supply other cities
are not much better off than those who supply
New York. The methods that have availed here
10 cut down the producers profits, and to throw
almost all that makes the business worth while
into the pockets of the middlemen have been
generally practised elsewhere, and with the
same result The producers are allowed to re-
oeiye lust enough to keep alive the hope that
they will some day get more and to prevent
them from quitting the business in disgust.
In only one of the great cities has the Milk
Exchange proved unsuccessful, and its failure
there was due only to the fact that the dairy
district around it is extensive and penetrated
by many different lines of railroad. These
circumstances have prevented the dealers from
securing control of the supply, and have left
prices to be determined by factors no harsher
than n healthy competition. Chicago is the
town thus excepted from the prevailing rule
All the other cities are dominated by the deal
ers trust.
These articles are interesting, as well to the
nublic as to the individuals engaged in the
New York milk trade. They reveal state OF
affairs in which the public is placed at the
mercy of small but well-organized ciques OF
tradesmen as to the price and the output of
necessary of life than which none can be more
important, more open to abuse and more sensi-
tive TO the touch of bad influences This is
not a comfortable situation. 1t may not be
so bad everywhere as in st. Louis, where the
chief supply comes from odoriferous and un-
healthy city stables, and where. the effort is
made to shut out country producers altogether;
nor. perhaps so bad as at Boston, where the
milk dealers ring is exceptionally small and
absolute; but here, at least, the situation is full
of menace to the health and safety of the city.
The laws of trade are not governed by senu-
mental considerations, but when they become
intolerant of health also, when they almost
compel adulteration and then assume to say
what the producer shall have for such sup
ply. what the consumer shall pay for it, and
whether, indeed it shall be had at all unless
the interests of the middemen are conceded, it
seems as if the laws of trade'' were in need
of revision.

liable feature of the treaty is that it prevents
any harm to the third Power from ascoalltion
of the other two. 1t is demonstrated con-
clusively by the debate that has gone on con-
corning this diplomatic achievement that no
fault can be found with it except by those who
do not want any treaty of any kind and they
must be aware that the course they are pursu-
ing is the course that precisely suits Germany.

One Of the most practical methods of aiding
in the work of keeping the streets clean will be to
prohibit the distribution of handbills advertising
cards. ETC., in public places. There is story, with
a somewhat ancient favor, of man who ac-
qured unbounded wealth by simply walking the
streets, collecting all the bills of this sort offered
him and disposjng Of them to the junk-dealers.
1t is certain that q vast quantity of printed
matter is wasted in this way, for no one keeps
these dodgers, but after gancing at them either
drops them upon the sidewalk or losses them into
the gutter. The bills and those who distribute
them are a public nuisance and ought to be
suppressed, apart from the fact that much ma
terlal tending to make the streets untdy thus finds
its way into them.

The Assembly on Tuesday passed the Worlds

Law in acting upon it. Those members OF the
Legislature who oppose the measure because
they are really convinced that it is unconstitu-

is nevertheless both logical and respectable
Those who are hostile to it because they affirm
that politics is being put into the bill by an

CURRENCY AND POPULATION.

As the volume of currency is now of especial
interest to the public, it may be stated in re-
Spouse to an inquiry by member of Congress
that, in a recent account of currency in circu-
lation per inhabitant, the population was com
puted by adding each year since 1850 per
cent for excess of births over deaths, and the
immigration officially reported for each year.
1t is believed that off cal estimates, which have
not been modified for more than ten years, are
in error because they take no account of the
unprecedented immigration during the last dec
AIDE. On the above basis, the population July
1st each year, with an estimate for January 1,
1890, the immigration for the last month being
estimated, would be as follows:

A step has been taken toward the needed
reorganization of the Dock Department in the
introduction by Assemblyman Hoag, of the
XIth New York District, of bill providing
that supplies for that department shall here
after be purchased by contract, and that its
expenditures shall be under the control of the
Board of Estimate in the same manner as those
Of the other departments of the city govern
ment The scandals in the dock administration
have mainly arisen from the Commissioners
unlimited power to spend money, and from the
system of purchasing supplies from friends of
officials in the department. Mr. Hoags bill
strikes at the root of the evils.
A favorable report from the Senate Com
mittee on General Laws in reference to the
Saxton Ballot Reform bill has all along been
so confidently looked for that the decision to
make such report calls for little comment.
The vote in the committee yesterday was
strictly on party lines, though on the proposed
substitution of the Linson for the Saxton bill
Senator Chase voted with the Republicans. He
refused to support Mr. Saxton's measure, how
ever, unless provision for general registration
were incorporated in it. The opposition of
Republicans to registration for voters through
out the rural districts is well known, and is
based on sound reasons.
If all the Republican Representatives had
been present yesterday mot counting one who
is excusably absent from siclSness), the ques-
ton which Speaker Reed decided would not
have been forced to the front so early. As a
matter OF fact, there were 1872 of the 16s Re-
publicans in the hall of the House, while 1875
are required to make a quorum. But the ques-
ton whether members who are present but re-
fuse to vote may be counted for the purpose
of declaring quorum in attendance was GER
tain to arise sooner or later. Mr.. Reed APP
pears to have given careful thought to the
question, and he was ready to support his de-
cision with argument and precedent. The
Constitution declares that "a majority OF each
