I7 18 denied by both Senator Hill and Boss Croker that they have quarreled, and the senator is quoted as saying that he will do nothing to embarrass Mr. Cleveland during his administration. But those New York democrats are to be believed only when it is positively known that they are telling the truth. NEW YORK CITY cannot be cleaned because the garbage scows are frozen up in the bay. Will New York never learn that she has outgrown that old system of disposing of her immense volume of garbage? The day of cremation has come, and crematories do not freeze up. All large cities should burn their death- dealing filth. THE post of private otary to Mr. Cleveland has, it is said, been offered to St. Clair McKelway of the Brooklyn Eagle. Mr. McKel is, we believe, somewhat older than the president-elect, nearly as tlarge physically and a good deal bigger in some other respects.

THE Chicago - city railway cleared nearly $2,000,000 during the last twelve months, and the people of that city are unable to understand why a corporation that is making so much money does not give better service.

But it is & question whether the party that now claims all the offices will have the nerve to favor such a measure and bear the odium of it. It means simply that the president is “to have a year in which to make a | clean sweep, with no civil servico rules tostand in his way.

Some light is thrown upon the causes of swagnation in the iron business by figures presented by the New York Commercial Bulletin in velation to the production of steel rails. This industr is controlled by the Iron and Steel asso- ciation, a combination of producers po sessing power as absolute as that of any trust or alliance in the country. During held at $30 per ton, as it was after Janu- ary of the previous y but the averare of Bessemer pig iron was 814.37 last year against $15.95 in | 1891, A ton and one-cighth of iron is reckoned as the amount | required to produce a ton of rails, which would make the expense of material about $17.95 in 1801 and $16.17 in 1892 | In 1801 rails were sold for $12.05 per ton more than the cost of the material, but in 1 the manufacturers demanded 13.83 per ton more than the mat | cost them. It thus appears that profit w: ly 32 per ton g ing the past vear than 1801, The combination sold year only about 1,300,000 tons of and only 1,448,219 tons the pre As the extortion was grea an it had been bofore, the pro- duction and sales were reduced, and yet the capacity of the mills was not anywhere near fully employed in either year. The production of steel rails was move than 1,000.000 tons greater in 1887 | than it was last yeur, and the inference is that the sales have baen cut down by son of the fact that bay. the dur- during last 5 ne ces la de- manded. The statement of the manu- facturers that they ave only charging enough 0 protect thamialves from loss is shown t) ba »undless by the fact that in 1837, when the production was greatest,, and when bus v exceptionally prosparous, the difference batween the e)t of matarial and the ing prico of rails was less than it is now, or only abomt $13. The journal above ref: »d to, which is a con anl rveliable authority upon su , says that “it is tho persistent and insslant extortion of this steel rail ¢ombination which has done more than anything else to retard thoe prosperity of the geeat ivon and steel | industry. Consumption of iron in the form of rails baan checked by an | avbitrary and excessive prico. | lishments able to make stesl rails have therefore turned a large part of their producing f to other articles, and thus have increasad the output of such other articles bayond the demand, and have forced down many products to the lowest prices ever known This seems a rational explanation o f the depression in the iron trade, which has been almost the only unfavorable feature of the ¢)mmoreial record of the past year. [t may also explain in soms measure why the has b2an so little activity in railroad eonstruetion, for it is reasonable to suppose that extortion- ate prices for steel rails would have a tendency to deter railroal wporations | from building contemplated lines.

The lower house of the leglslature has passed a bill for this purpose: and there is no doubt about its going theough the senate and receiving the approval of the governor.

As ugainst Germany, the Swedish would never hesitate to side with a Franco- Russian coalition.
