Only about i per cent. of these seales operate against the dealer employing them the remainder being prejudicial to the customer. As in other sections, the dry and| liquid measures and weights waere more accurate, vet in these classes also the percentage of inaccuracy should be sreatly reduced by an efficient inspec- tion. “Several cases of flagrant vielations of the law were noted. One merchant regularly delivered 28 ounces for a quart of beans and & number of pack- ages were found done up averaging this amount, resulting a shortage of 6.6 per cent. on every package deliv- ered “Another merchant had ready for| delivering a number of half-pecks of | potatoes which were evidently weighed as seven pounds, resulting in an average shortaze of 5.4 per cent. on each package. This merchant was familiar with the legal weight.

Tt looks as if Mayor Fitzgerald was justified in openly declaring that bus- ness Boston is dishonest. | Is there attention enough paid to! this matter in any city in New Eng- land? RIDICULING THE SUPREME COURT The people have become impatient | waiting ‘for the decision of the su-| preme court in the trust cases. The| vay to a decision was completed when change of justices called for a re- hearing of the case, and it was argued over some months ago and a decision was expected before adjournment, but it was not given out, much to the dis appointment of all concerned. It is reported from Boston that wa- | sers are made as to wHether the su-| preme court hasn't got all its garden- | ing done yat or whether the brand of | tobacco that is sent to Justice Har-| lan from Kentucky is mot the sort to| put him in a deciding mood, as to whether Justice Hughes' whiskers are properly trimmed and as to whether Chief Justice White has been able to frame up a decision on this case that will come Within & thousand miles of consistency when viewea with his in- come tax and carporation tax rulings A Boston paper says “Everyona | suspects that the court is not able to| make up its mind. Whether the sus-| pense which investors are compelled to endure is not worse than any de-| cislon could be is a question. It cer- tainly looks very much like a collapse of papular government when our high- court will apparently dilly-dally months over a decision. est Although it is very weighty and mo- mentous in importance it should, on that very account, be rendered as promptly as possible, The delay of the in court is injurious to our prosperity almost every respect. The court not deing its duty, or there is| something vitally wrong in our system of government.” THE LOSS WHITTLED DOWN. The estimated fire loss at Bangor. on Sunday has been whittled | down (o three milliens, with an Inti-| mation that the loss may finally be| found mot to exceed a million and a| half. This smallest estimate is a bl loss for a little city like Bangor. Bangor is now placed amond the hig fire cities of New England. Portland| was the first under modern conditions, | forty-five years ago the coming sum- mef. Boston followed six vears later, St. John, N. B. had her baptism in 1877, when a revenue cutter laden with supplies salled from Boston to her re- lief. In 1892 St Johm's, N. F., was levelled 1o a large extent by diaster and recently the city of Chel- sca_was the one to be prostrated While a big fire is to be avoided is not the blight it appears to he, for every city in New England that| has been fire swept is a better and| more inviting city today than it would | have been without disaster Bangor wili not recover its losses as quickly as Chelsea did, but it will recover through the same New Fng- land pluck and enterprise and the new city will be modernized. The Boston ‘Transcript calls atten- tion to the fact that such occurrences as this ought to heln the effort that the Red Cross society is making to secure a large endowment fund whose proceeds can be used in sudden emer- gencies ch as are here presented.
