CONSPIRACIES AGAINST THE PUBLIC.

If men only think Of II rightly, selfishneSs is
at the bottom of most of the great disturbances
in political or business life. Doubtless the latest
great movement, the organization of farmers
for their own protection and benefit, was origin
ally intended by members to serve the public as
well as the individuals concerned But it SION
began to be manipulated and managed by in
dividuas for their private advantage. 1t de-
nounced combinations to control prices of prod
uctS against the public welfare in the most bit
ter terms Yet this same organization was
speedily employed, in some OF the Southern
States openly and formally, in an extensively
organized attempt to put up the price of cotton
by holding back the crop from the market. That
attempt was against the public interest, and
proved to be disastrous to the Southern cotton
producers. But there are now being issued
thousands of circulars for the purpose Of keep
ing wheat back from the market az long as Dos
sible. in the hope that the price may be put up
to 50 per bushel for the benefit of those inter-
ested.
This is nothing but conspiracy against the
public welfare. 1t would mean if il could sue
coed, dearef bread for the millions who earn
wages throughout the United States. 1t would
mean harder times for all the poor, and starva-
ton for some. The class of citizens to whom
this scheme appears is as independent and well
off on the whole as any other in the country.
and has less reason than almost any other to
enter into any conspiracy against the public
welfare. Already it is obvious that the great
majority of farmers will refuse to have mart in
the scheme. But some who have faith in the
partial sucoesDf the movement may hold their
wheat for a while in the hope of higher p,ices.
and no man can blame them for taking advan-
tage Of an operation which originates with spec
ulators. For the scheme itself is probably de-
signed for the benefit OF few rich spectators

If Jersey justice is ever effective, it ought to
reduce the number of crimes committed by election
officers. Judge Lippincott has just sentenced an
additional number of election officers convicted of
crimes committed in previous years. Twenty
five persons have already been convicted and
others are awaiting trial on similar charges. The
persons who arranged the frauds still remain I'M
punished, but Judge Lippincott promises to en-
deavor to secure information about the criminals
who have thus far been concealed. If the Demo-
cratic officials who arranged and who profit by the
schemes Of fraud could be convicted New-Jersey

The Unionist press in London accepts the
result of the election in Cambridgeshire as an
argument for supporting Mr.. Gladstones con-

cause. No attempt is made to disguise the
seriousness of the blow which the Conservatives
have received in one of their strongholds 1t
is frankly admitted to be the worst defeat which
the Unionists have sustained The GladstOnian
victory will undoubtedly have an effect almost
electrical in stimulating activity and exciting
buoyant feeling of hopefulness on the Home
Rule side. The Liberal party is well organized
and in sympathy with the masses, and will have
marked advantages in the next general cleo
tons 1t seems to be an English instinct to
turn out an Administration that has been in

As rats destroy large numbers of
