The MIX War.

The raise in the wholesale price of milk
made Dec. LIST. by the shippers, mention
of which was made last week, has precipi-
tated a war between the shippers and the
| Camden and Philadelphia dealers, and the
/ outcome is being looked for with interest.
On Monday about 1000 quarts sent to the
Camden depot were refused by one of the
dealers, who declined to pay the advance
in price. Ga Tuesday a like amount was
left on the hands of the shippers repie-
sentative at the depot, but he succeeded in
disposing of 1t to other parties who were
short, and willing to pay the increase in
price. On Wednesday the dairymen's
representative in Camden ordered the men,
bers of the associations TO withhold one
fifth of their supply, in order to create a
slight scarcity CT the fluid. Even this did
not have the desired effect, and those who
before refused the milk continued to do so.
The surplus, consequently, was a large
one. The milkmen refused to take care of
it, and the dairymen and their representa-.
tives wasted no time in disposing of eleven
hundred quarts of it-they dumped it in
the river from the foot of Federal street.
As already stated the dealers declare that
the consumers will be the ones to suffer
and that the increased price asked by dairy
men will result in an increased price being
asked by the dealers. The latter declare
they should Of right have half the amoun
paid by the consumer. This would neces-
state a present increase of milk at retail
to nine cents a quart. The publication Of
these declarations has created no little
interest among city housekeepers, but to
them it can be said that tie Dairymen's
Association proposes to see that they are
protected.
Said President Harker of the Dairymen's
Association to a newspaper reporter, in the
course of a conversation on Tuesday. "We
ara in this fight to win and believe we will
win, but one thing is sure, the consumer
will not have to pay the expense as the
dealers declare. There is no reason for
their doing so, and the dairymen will see
that they do not pay more than eight cents
for their milk. How? As soou as the
dealers dare to increase the retail price by
one cent we will withhold our milk from
them and put upon the streets our own
farm wagons, selling the milk direct to the
consumer. When we do this the people
of Camden and Philadelphia will be able
to purchase their milk at lower prices than
il has ever been offered bofors. We offer
the milk at a fair price to the dealer: 1t be
refuses it the consumer can have the benent
of his refusal. The dealer already gets
over 50 for every can of forty quarts, while
we get less than So aud we pay the freight,
furnish the cans and take back the sour
milk. We use beer measure in putting
the forty quarts 10 the cans, while the
dealer uses ordinary liquid measure in
taking it out ana gets forty.eight quarts.
Of course this is perfectly honest and
only speak of it to show that we give him
eight quarts for nothing. We are in this
fight to stay until it is over and the dealers
will learn that before we are through. |
only want to add again the consumer may
look to us for protection"

One of the largest importers of
French goods in Philadelphia in
making ready to inventory his stock
found too many fine goods, and like a
judicious merchant thought If best
to make a reduction in prices and
work off his stock, rather than wait
for customers at his regular prices.
As we have been selling goods Of
his importation for years past, If was
but natural that he should look us
up to help him unload. We accord
ingly bought $500 worth Of two
numbers, one of which We can sell
at 50 cents and the othera IT So cents.
The first is all wool and 50 inches
wide; while the latter is 20 inches
wide. These goods are worth in a
general way 90 cents and SI.oo per
yard for the kind we are offering at
80 and So cents. 1t is a good op-
portunity to get a staple black dress
for less than its actual value. If you
will take the trouble to write up to
any of the largest dress goods
houses they will gladly send you
samples by mail of their goods. and
if you give US a chance to put our
50 cen quality beside their 90 cent
or our So cent quality beside their
500 quality, we will risk the
chances of comparison.

A JEWEL.

"Contentment, that balm against the
ravages of worldly interest, where can it be
found, and what is its price? Not silver
or gold, but patent striving with a thank
full heart will bring it to the soul who
desires it, and IN its possession turks the
charm to chase away unhappy visions; to
still unwise longings, and to open the in-
ner vision to the peaceful delights of ths
home, the friends, the advantages which
may be ours. And so, through all the
phases Of human happiness we may GO,
finding always that its true essence is
something that must be gained without
money and without price."-M Public Led
gerfrom Harper's Bazaar.
The Monitor. [volume] (Woodstown, N.J.) 1884-1892, 1891-12-11

WOOdstoTn came near having a race riot
on Saturday night, there being several
encounters between the whites and the
blacks, none of them resulting seriously
however. There has been a bad feeling
existing between some members of the
two factions for some time, and it appears
that the colored fellows came in town on
Saturday night prepared for fight. The
trouble started in Keen's restaurant, where
a large number had assembled, when a
young colored fellow uamed Howell, as
sisted by others, attempted TO settle a
score against Michael Whaien by attacking
him. Whalen got rather the worse of the
encounter, being cut in the forehead with
a blackjack or brick, and receiving other
blows. Confusion reigned supreme in the
restaurant during the melee, the water
cooler and stools being overturned, chai,s
smashed, and things in general upset. The
room was cleared and the scene of action
transferred to the street where large crowds
of people had gathered. No arrests were
made, but officer Duffy, in demonstrating
with one of the colored fellows for remarks
calculated to create further disturbance,
was quickly surrounded by a crowd of
threatening colored men. Later in tie
evening several of the colored fellows were
chased up East Avenue and out of town
by a crowd of whites.
1t is probable that the bad feeling thus
caused will again manifest itself. and it is
hoped that prompt measures will be taken
to put down such lawlessness. The streets
of Woodstown on Saturday evenings are a
disgrace to any town, being almost block
AIDED in some portions by a mass of men
and women who pay no attention at all to
the convenience or rights of those who may
be passing along the streets. This coudi-
tion of affairs should be remedied, and the
spirit of lawlessness and disorder manifest
last Saturday night should be curbed, and
that at once. Let extra police be placed
on duty tomorrow night, and let our
authorities take in charge the fist one,
white OF black, who shows a disposition to
start a quarrel. Woodstown, if not ready
to place itself In the hands of a lawless
mob, should take some such measures for
protection, and that promptly.

Separate Cars.

The Legislatures of Texas and Ar
kansas, have, by nearly unanimous
votes, passed laws requiring separate
railroad coaches for whites and blacks,
following the example in this matter
Of Louisiana and other States. The
New Orleans Time Democrat has nc
doubt that all the other States of the
South will pass a similar law, and
that the Southern railroads will be
compelled to provide separate cars for
the races. The Time Democrat de-
clares that the prevailing public SEN
timent is in favor of the obstruction
and adds: The law is not intended to
be unfriendly to the negro or to work
any hardship to him, for the railroads
are required to provide him with first
class accommodations for ffrst-class
fare, but it's purpose is to establish the
relations which are to exist between
the two races in the South. The whites
are willing to grant the negro all his
legal and political rights, but they
will not live on terms of equality with
him, and desire to be thrown with
him as little as possible. The two
races live side by side, but they must
live distinct and separate. and the
separate car law is simply an emphatic
mode of laying down this proposition
aud answering the republican sugges-
tions of social equality.-Baltimorc
Sun.
