NEM YORK,s MILK SUPPLY.

If anything were needed to turn the pub
men who have inaugurated the strike on The
Vanderbilt lines, it would De found in the
curtailment Of the milk supply, which ha'
been one Of the results Of this strike. About
fifteen thousand cans are shipped every
day over the Harlem, the IludsOn-Riye
and the New Haven roads. 1 his is calculated
TO amount to six hundred thousand quarts
which is one-quarter of the regular supply
for the whole city, so that at least one out
Of every four persons residing in New York
has been deprived of an essential part o
his daily nOurishment The bitterness o.
feeling which this fact has created among
those who are compelled to submit. TO il
may well be imagined, and this bitterness
has, by the force Of sympathy, probably eX
tended to those who are still so fortunate as
to hear every morning the comfortable ring
Of the milkman's bell at the front gate.
If all the imprecations Of men and the
lamentations of women which have gone VI
IN New Ork city since the milk supply has
been so seriously cut short were united
into one cry, it would perhaps brighten the
striking switchmen and yardsmen at once
into submission. They would have shown
shrewdness and address if they had per.
mitted all milk trains to proceed to theil
destination without the slightest obstruc-
this respect was sufficient in itself TO cast
the shadow Of failure over the strike from
the beginning.

INTEREST THE CANVASS.

The large and representative attendance
at the recent precinct meetings in this city,
and the uneXampled gathering of Demo
cratic voters at the county courthouse on
yesterday, show what an unusual amount
of interest is felt by the party in general in
the coming Congressional election. This in
terest is, to some extent, undoubtedly due
TO the triangular contest now going on for
the nomination, this contest having pre-.
duced a certain degree Of excitement which
would DE sufficient in itself TO attract public
attention 10 the canvass in progress. The
friendly rivalry between the candidates has
stimulated the zeal of their supporters and
led to an unusually large outpouring Of
voters on every occasion when they would
have an opportunity Of showing their indi-
yidual preferences.
Nevertheless the principal secret of the
inter est now being exhibited is to be looked
for in other motives. Men who have no pr :.
disposition in favor Of any one Of the candi-
dates whose names have been mentioned,
except so far as to desire the nomination Of
tHc man WHO mas llloSl uuuttIOuH tlththto
Of strength, are taking as active part in
the canvass as if they were specially
pledged to work for their fayorite. The
truth is, that the course of the Republican
party in Congress during the present ses-
sion has been such as to draw the attention
Of our citizens at large more closely to the
proceedings of that body than has been the
case for many years. All of the legislation
that has been enacted. and all that is on the
eve Of being passed, or which is threatened.
have been such as TO arouse in our people
deepseated feeling Of hostility to the Reput-
lican party as the party that is striving as
far as II can to injure, if not destroy, the
prospects Of the Southern States.
1t is this feeling which is largely influenc-
ing our voters to enter SO actively into the
canvass for the nomination now in pro-
gress. This participation is worthy of the
very highest commentator and can only
lead to the most excellent results. Let be
continued, and the nomination that will be
made on August 18th must inevitably be as
judicious as the peculiar circumstances of
the hour demand.

TUESDAY. AUGUST u, 1890.
ELECTRIC LINE ON GRACE.

The proposition to lay down line OF elec-
,ric railway on Cary 10 sixth and along
sixth 70 Grace. and from thence a'ons
Grace 10 the outskirts Of the city, Is arous-
ing an increasing amount OF opposition even
among those Of our citizens who are not III
,ercstcd in property on the streets named.
There are a number Of objections to an eiec-
tric line on Cary, but the objections to SUCH
a line on Grace are still more numerous and
still more serious. II seems TO be generally
admitted that The noise caused by the
present line on Main has lowered the value
of rbe residences on west Main very de
cidcdlv. This noise is undoubtedly
grave nuisance, which has been the
source Of great annoyance ana ~
convenience TO the people residing
on this street, and in many instances
has already affected the condition Of in
valids injuriously. Upper Grace is most
distinctly street of residences, as much SO
as Franklin, and far more so than upper
Main. which constitutes one Of the two
princiral thoroughfares Of the city. An
electric line on this street would lead to an
immediate depression Of values. This fact
alone should be sufficient to keep an electric
line of this street when 1t is recalled that
there is already an electric line on Main
and horse-car line on Broad, which fur
nish ample passenger service.
Not ONLY is Grace one Of the two princi-
nal residence streets OF the city, but IT Is
the street Of churches, fact which has
given il its name. This in itself is an i'm
portant reason for the exclusion of an cleo
trio line from Grace. Furthermore, to allow
the construction Of line on this street Is to
crowd Franklin to an undue extent with
vehicles, for Grace, like Main, would no
longer be used to any great extent as a
general thoroughiare owing to the electric
cars.
1t is true that the public are benefited 10y
competition as a rule. but it is a question
whether our citizens would derive q single
advantage from the construction Of this
line if it follows the route selected. The
present electric line j. Just attaining a high
degree of efficiency which would be certain
To decline if its present patronage We're
divided The only result Of new line
would be to give us two railways which
could not separately secure sufficient sup
port to enable their proprietors 10 satisfy
the just demars,s of the public.

THE MISSISSIPPI CONVENTION.

The convention which assemblies to-day
in Mississippi is, probably, the most i'm
portant that has met in that state since il
was admitted 10 the Union. 1t seeks in a
measure TO undo the evil that was perpc-
trated in comforting the suffrage upon the
blacks before they had received the slightest
preparation for the judicious exercise of SO
momentous privilege. For many years
the white people Of Mississippi have been
compelled at every election TO employ yari-
Gus devices 10 ward of all the calamities OF
negro domination. The black population,
however, has continued 10 increase both by
natural growth and by immigration from
adjacent commonwealths until it is not at
all improbable that the forthcoming census
report will show negro majority In the
state that will fall little short of half a
million. Such majority as this cannot, for
any great length.of time, be skilfully manipu-
lated. Unless some determined step is
taken at once this majority will, by the
mere force of numbers, acquire control Of
every interest In Mississippi, and the in
telligence and property OF the state will
sink into permanent decay.
The leaders Of the white party in Missis.
sippi foresee this, and, before it is TOO late,
they are addressing themselves 10 the issue
that confronts them. The sole object of the
convention is 10 curtail the suffrage. That
Is known 10 all, and strange as il may
seem, 1t has the approval Of the most prom
inent negroes In the Commonwealth. The
only question 20 be decided is, how shall the
suffrage be restricted' Some propose that
property qualification shall be adopted;
others. that an educational; while many
have suggested other methods for the solu-
ton OF the difficulty. No plan appears 10
receive general approval, simply because
there is really no plan which is not open 10
serious objection. Nevertheless, il is appa.
rent that something will have to be done,
and II Is probable that an educational quail
'ncaiion will be adopted and submitted 10
the people for their endorsement.

franchised, II such an amendment 10 the

COAST DEFENSts.

owing TO inc prcsstire of public opinion
the National Government has been looking
very carefully into the question OF what Is
the most practical method of protecting our
nrincipal cities on ,he oeaboard from the
naval attacks Ol foreign enemies. With this
object in view, several corps of engineers
have been at work making an examination OF
the Notifications now standing in the vicinity
Of these cities, and they have recently re-
ported the results of their observations
General Casey, the chief engineer, has re-
fused to allow these reports 20 be given out,
on the ground that the public Interests for
the present demand the c0ncealment of
their contents This action is no doubt en-
,ircly justified, but at the same time it is a
cause for regret that the plans under att
visement cannot be disclosed, Tor there are
few things connected with the administra-
ton q national affairs about which the
people feel deeper concern than this mat
ter of coast Notifications.
The importance Of such fortihcatiors has
been brought very closely home quite re-
Gently by the correspondence between Lord
Salisbury and Mr.. Blaine with reference 10

and the British Premier taking positions SO
diametrically opposed to each other that a
war might be precipitated at any time If
the temper Of the two nations toward each
other was not so thoroughly amicabie. Cases
Of similar nature might arise at moment
when the attitudes OF the nations involved
were Ear nom being friendly, and this would
lead to belligerent action. The mere fact
that the coasts OF the United States are so
unprotected from foreign naval invasion
will influence other nations TO assume n
much more determined front if controversy
should arise than they would otherwise do.
supplementary to the proposed thorough
fortdcation Of our coast line. steps are
being actively taken TO increase tie eliic-
ency Of cur navy. Not only are new ships
being built, but much attention is now
being paid to torpedo boats. upon which so
much reliance can be placed in actual war
fare. The increase in our naval force
began with the administration Of Cleveland,
and is largely due 90 the foresight Of Mr.
Whitney, one of the most capable men who
has ever occupied the Secretaryship Of the
Navy. The work which be inauguratcd
has received the warm approval Of his sue
cessor in the Secrelavship. and has been
pressed with orgy and intelligence.
With orr navy enlarged and kept in excel
( lent condition. and with our coasts pro-
tected by the most modern fortiications,
and the most improved system of general
ordnance, the people Of the United states
can forego all apprehension as TO the
eject of a foreign naval invasion.
