That Quarantine Tug,

The mayor, it seems, is going to investi-
gate some matters connected with the quar-
antne tug If it be true, as stated, that the
quarantine officer DOESN'T use the tug for
boarding vessels, it would seem that tug
is not necessary for that purpose. In that
case it becomes question whether the city
has any use for tug.
The tug cost the city $4,000, and it cost
about 81. 900 annually to run it. The tug.
therefore, represents an annual outlay Of
about sc 500. That amount would do a
good deal OF street paving.
What the mayor is going to find out,
probably, is whether this burden on the city
is an absolutely necessary one. If he finds
it isn't there is only one thing to be done.
and that is to get rid Of the tug. The re-
suit of his investigation will be awaited
with interest,

Grace and the Anti-HlH Movement.
Mr.. William r. Grace, who is at the
head OF the anti-Hill movement in New
York, is not regarded in that state as an
unselhsh patriot. There are not wanting
those who believe that one Of the objects he
has in view in connection with the move
ment is a strong organization with which to
fight Tammany. He has been an opponent
OF Tammany for long time, and It is be-
lieved that nothing would give him more
satisfaction than to be the means of destroy
ing that organization.
1t would be unjust to him, however, to say
that he is not true to Mr.. Cleveland without
some evidence to that effect. The appoint
ment Of a campaign committee by the Syr-
acuse convention is regarded by some as
being sufficient evidence that he is con-
trolled in this anti-Hill movement more by
desire to down" Tammany than to bring
about the nomination of Mr.. Cleveland.
But is that evidence suflcientl There are
few who will admit it is.
There are those who doubt that Tam
many will be true to Mr.. Cleveland il he is
nominated, and they think it would be a
great mistake to entrust the manag cement
Of the national campaign, SO far as New
York is concerned. to Tammany. 1t was
this distrust of Tammany, no doubt, which
brought about the appointment of a cam
paign committee. The fight for aud against
Tammany appears to take precedence of
everything else in democratic politics in
New York.

The Census and the BLACKS.

The latest census bulletins relative to the
blacks in the states OF Delaware, Maryland =,
Virginia. West Virginia and the District of
Columbia show either that the census of
1880, or that Of 1870, with respect to the
black population. was very defective or that
the census of 1890 is defective, or else there
was comparatively little increase In the
blacks in the decade between 1880 and
1890.
The census of 1880 showed that there had
been very great proportionate increase in
the black population between 1870 and 1880.
1t is true that it was claimed that the Gems
sus of the blacks in 1870 was very defective,
but it is probable that it was approximately
correct.
The census Of the blacks for 1890 thus far
made public has raised the question whether
the census OF 1890 is not long way from
the truth. In Virginia, for instance, the
census OF 1880 showed that there had been
an increase in the black population OF the
state during the previous ten years of %. II
per cent. The census of 1890, however, shows
an increase of only 0.66 per cent for the
previous ten years. In Maryland the in
crease shown by the census of 1880 was 10. 81
per cent, while that of 1890 shows an in
crease of only 2 go per cent.
1t is difficult matter, of course, to get a
correct census Of the blacks, because there
are so many of them who cannot be found
A very large proportion of them live long
way from the public roads, and. hence, are
missed by the census enumerators. But it
is probable that the census is right to the
extent of showing that the blacks are not
increasing in numbers as rapidly as they
did for number of years Immediately
