THE ILK-DEALERS COMBINATION.

The combination Of shippers and wholesale
dealers in milk, TO cooperate with the Health
Board in suppressng adulteration, Is heartily to
be commended. II might be deemed ungracious
TO dwell too much upon the lateness Of such
action. Certainly it should have been taken long
ago But il has come at last. and in that there
Is cause for satisfaction. We suppose 1t II an
entirely sincere and honest movement. and will
be thoroughly prosecuted II So this city will
presently have a better milk supply than for
many years
This movement is a significant one, in that 1t
recognizes the existence OF adulteration and the
responsibility Of the wholesalers for 1t. Hitherto
complaints Of impure milk have largely been
received with assumed incredulity. "Our milk Is
pure" many dealers would stouily assert Or, If
II was not. they were not responsible for the
fault II was committed without their kn0wl-
edge or consent and was beyond their power TO
detect or TO prevent. Men of common-sense
knew that was all humbug. They knew the
milk was adulterated and wholesalers had both
knowledge of that fact and power TO prevent II.
or that this combination Is a practical admis
sion.
Significant II Is. also, that this action was not
taken until the Health Board and the courts
had shown theii intention Of prosecuting all
offenders and furnishing them with the utmost
severity The fear OF prison was the Influence
that brought them into order So long the
Health Department was lax and careless and
the courts merely levied small fines upon the re-
tail dealers, dishonest wholesalers were fearless.
They could well afford. out Of their illgotten
gains, to pay the fines for the retailers but
when the penalty VI Imprisonment was added,

1t is not impossible that another Committee OF
Seventy will be organized this year. or at least
a similar body with similar aim-namely. the
bringing about Of combination OF all the
anti -Tammany forces In the interest OF good
government and the defeat Of Tammany Hall
1t is certain that In union Is strength. ana
while Tammany has been deprived OF the
patronage which was its lifeblood there will be
no wisdom in running the risk OF making
losing contest against 1t. The conference called
yesterday by Mr.. Charles S Smith possesses
considerable significance. Those who partci-
pated in II are animated by the right spirit.
The lesson of last year ought not to be so soon
forgotten and the mistakes made then should
lead to the avoidance Of similar mistakes now

Ex-senator Grlggs accepted the nomination
for Governor OF New-Jersey yesterday in a
speech which shows that he has a clear insight
into the questions AT issue in the State and an
adequate conception of the responsibility resting
on him as the Republican standardbearer II
was modest, manly, impressive speech. With
telling force he pointed out that the Democratic
party is still under the control Of the men under
whom so much discredit has been brought upon
the State, and that In consequence the people
could not trust 1t with the control Of any branch
of government. THE battle" he said, ''s for
honesty, for retrenchment. for reform; and as
his personal platform Mr.. Grlggs said he be-
lleved that the best way 10 serve ones party
was by conscientious effort to serve the State.

liean forces in New-Jersey are led by so high
minded sincere and patriotic man.

The statement adopted by the New-Jersey

proftless document as was ever put forth by
a political convention as a declaration OF prin-

nothing In the world to do with this production
save TO make 1t its own by perfunctory and list
less vote. The platform was drafted In advance,
presumably by Allan McDermott. and was put

Harmony In the Democratic party Is large
minus quantity at present.

The bicyclists OF New-York state can put a
fea ather into their collective cap. They are now OF
such numbers and importance that the Demo
cratic party managers consider 1t worth while TO
throw them a sop in their platform az among the
interests TO be concated and cajoled Into voting
the Democratic ticket The others thus highly
honored are the saloonkeepers ana the FARMERS
The difference IL that the saloonkeepers get an
elaborate promise OF pretty nearly everything
they may be expected to want. while the users or
good roads have to content themselves with
pureIy perfunctory reference. Good roads can't
possibly compete with Sunday saloons In a Demo-
cratic latform and we doubt II the morse offered
them at Syracuse will prove OF much potency as
bait 20 either farmers or bicycists.

USED A HOT POKER.

An old Man Tortured by a Thief
 Cntl He Gave Up His Money.
 OLD SAxBRooK, Feb 1S-The local au- thorities are looking for John Antonio. a half breed Spaniard. who is wanted for stealing over $500 in cash and silverware from Charles Mappen. It seems that last week Antonio applied to Mappell for board and lodging in return for services. Map pell accepted the offer, and gave the Spaniard employment, All went we'll un- til morning when be found Antonio ran- sacking hiI silvarware. The employe was discharged. At 10 o'clock that night a masked man enterd Mappsll's s bedroom and demanded his money. Map pell refused. and was gagged and bound and tortured with a hot poker. The old man. who is 75 years of age. still refused to re- veal the place where his valuables were hidden Then the thief took a shovelful of hot coals and held them against Msppell's feet until. writhing with pain he told where his money was. The burglar se- cured $294 In cash. a gold watch valued at $l0o and some silver plate. The thief had a sleigh waiting and escaped toward Say brook. AS he left he removed his mask. showing the face of Antonio. Mappell IS in a critical condition as a result of his tortures. and it is feared he may not recov- CT. owing to his age. No clue of Antonio has been obtained.

 HARTFORD, Feb l3.-The~ Women's Christian Temperance union held posses sion of the house chamber this morning. when hearing was given upon Repressn- tative Halls bill for the repeal of the wo- mems suffrage law. The meeting wss called to order at 1925 by Representative Gum, chairman of the committee. Mrs L. A. Bacon of Hartford. who acted as president, occupied Speaker Fessenden's chair. She explained the workings of the law She was about the polls all day at the recent election in Hartford and heard only one discourteous remark, made by an Irishman, who said the women ought to be at home minding the babies. Mrs Bacon replied that all her babies were grown, when the man turned the remark into a compliment by saying :: And sure, you're fine. buxom lady yet. :"
 Mir Gum asked Mrs Bacon many ques- ready answers.
 Mrs Forbes of Hartford made a spirited address against the repeal of the law. Mrs Yates of Boston made an argument full of facts and figures.
 Chairman Gum bore the brunt of the whole argument and his tact in putting queries created great applause. Mrs Bacon said that the women would not be opposed to serving on juries and performing the other burdensome duties of citizenship. She would do so. Superintendent Brocklesby of the Hart. ford public schools began an address against the repeal of the law, but was in terrupted by Mir Gum. who. after 6 hurried consultation with the other mem- bers of the committee, announced that the | law would not be repealed.
 Mrs Bent of Collinsville made an sd dress in favor of municipal and national suffrage for women. James L. Cowles oi Farming gton spoke in favor of national suffrage and so did Miss Hawley of Dan bury. who was the last speaker.
 The only person appearing in opposition to the bill was Representative Hill of Wa terbury. who introduced the measure. H' merely said that he wanted to go oI record as opposed to women suffrage.
