UT of bel now b courts of New York it is suit te likely we shall bt obt evidence showing. that there is a limit the extent to which economy of operation can be i ced by increasing the size of the unit of con- rol. At any rate the allegations of one of the parties to the suit be proven it will have been shown ination known as the Metropolitan at the big cor Street Railway Company has not been operating the smaller es as economically as did the big system suit grows a brought by N. Amory against H. H. Vree- and. president oi the Metropolitan Company. Amory made certain al ns of m agement on the part of the directors of the company, and Vreeland retorted that Amory “notorious character,” and ade for the purpose of in- brought suit, for dam market Amory y his claim has ove the truth of his original asser- gement. Amory has submitted ove that the company support of his contention within expended $23.000,000 for reports to the Railroad Commission ed expenditures of $35.000.000, thus making a epancy of $10,000,000, which, according to Amory, has been cither wasted or stolen. He also stated that the company had reported to the Railroad | 1898 th nd equipmer 171 47 Amory said that the cost of complete this struction of the Second avenue line was $1.933 In its report to the commission and e line 390 02 n to the great discrepancies between the struction ent was even report Linlance-sheets of the company’s books Amory went n to charge the management with gross extrava- ce or dishonesty in other respects. In reporting proceedings of the case the New York Tribune s: *“Among the figures read by Mr. Amory were purpo show that the company reported it had expended $500,000 for relaying a mile track. Other figures read by Mr. Amory from the reports showed that the company had paid $3Ro000 for engineering expenses fog one mile of Mr. to what the cost of this ought to be, but Mr. Nicoll ob- iected, saying, ‘This man is not an expert.’ ome which to had of street railroad Amory started to testify as ‘I know he is not,” said Mr. Osborne, ‘but 1 want to show that the actual cost of engineering a mile of street railroad is only about $500." Of course we cannot accept those, statements as proven until they have been tested by evidence on the other side and found unshaken. Still the charges have been presented in a very specific way and with a decided definiteness of detail. It is not at all likely that the managers will be found to have robbed the stockholders, but it looks as if they would be shown incapable of running the roads on anything like as sound a basis as they were run when operated separ- ately. There seems indeed to be a limit beyond which combinations cannot go without breaking down somewhere. Probably the operation of that law will in itself tend to disperse some of the giant combina- tions of the time. can zttend to all the details of a vast organization, and sooner or later dishonesty and incompetency be- gin to show themselves in its machinery. The evi- dence in this case may therefore be watched with a great deal of interest throughout the country, as it may convey a lesson of economic value to all. e The New England}Stztes are making a great splutter just now over arrangements for the various “old home” gatherings that have become common in that section of the country, but if the people were really as wise as they pretend to be they would start a “new bome” movement and come to California. i Ao 8 Some members of the diplomatic corps have ob- jected to the Chinese Minister's use of the title “Sir,” and some object to ranking Miss Langham of Ken- tucky as 2 member of the German embassy, but then the silly season is at its height in Washington and anything goes that helps to make talk.

OR some years the producers of the State have F endeavored to secure a market-place in this city where they can offer their produce direct; to the consumer. It is argued, and justly, that such a market will not abolish but regulate the commis- | sion business and will furnish to the producer a safe- | guard which his interests require and which he can | secure in no other way. In nearly every other large | city in the country there is such a market, and in all of them the business of commission men thrives satisfactorily to them and to their clients. In a free | market everything <cent by the farmer, gardener, truck-patcher and fruit-raiser finds a sale at a price. The transaction is direct between the producer and | the consumer. The last Legislature passed a law authorizing the Harbor Commission to devote to the purpose of such a market one of the water-front docks. It is | understood that the commission finds difficulties in | the way in the shape of other uses for the docks. The Legislature was aware that there were other Ii there ‘had not been the docks would not | have been built. It intended to add another to the uses of those structures. We have to advise the commission that it should as promptly as possible find room for this new use to which the Legislature in- tended to devote space on the water front. Often it has happened that country produce, such uses. as fruit and melons and the more perishable vege- | tables, arriving in quantities, have been dumped into the bay in order to create an artificial scarcity that would sustain prices, of which the producer gets no benefit. With a free market such waste would not occur. The consdmer would get the benefit of prices depressed by a large supply, and the producer would get something for his property, which is better than having it dumped in the bay. San Francisco has a bad reputation as a market the right or wrong of it, or to ascribe it to the manipu- | lation of the commission men, it is well to consider of a free market. Without stopping to discuss | that the grievance or the cause of it will pass away : ) | when the producer can bring his own goods and be permitted to sell them direct the 1f he have been mistaken about the policy of the commission men he will find it out in no other way. If he was right in accusing them he will be content that he has an opportunity to protect himself.

Meline, representing France, took much the same view as the Italian Minister, and said: “We must study a legitimate organization of defense and not a zollverein, which would be war. It would be imprudent to adopt the proposition before the con- gress, which is an unripe measure and an unnecessary | threat.” Finally, the German delegates proposed the appointment of a committee, composed of represen- tatives of France, Austria, Germany, Italy, Holland and Belgium, to study the best way for Europe to tition. The motion was carried unanimously, and the subject was thereupon postponed until the meeting of the next congress. It is to be noted in these various efforts toward a European combination that the differences of npinic\ni occur only as#o ways and means. It appears indis- putable that the desire for combination is well-nigh univeréal. Even those who opposed the German | propositions did so only because they regard America | as too formidable to be rashly assailed. Signor Luz- zatti asked: “How is it possible, under existing con- | ditions, to fight the United States?” Her greatness imposes prudence and her force commands it.” M. Meline said, “America is such an extraordinary coun- try that T am frightened when I think what she may | become when she has reached her full development.” Thus the one thing that prevents a European league | | against us is the difficulty of devi ' campaign. ng a plan of joint It has been said that where there is a will there is a way. Europe clearly has the will Can she find out a way? In an account of arrangements that were jqinder way in Brooklyn for 3 Democratic “harmony dinner” it is stated that all the committees “are controlled by men who represent the element in Kings County Democracy opposed to David B. Hill.” That is one way of getting harmony, but Hill would probably swear it is not Democratic.

JME has recently been the scene of two notable R conferences, one known as a congress of the Latin peoples of the world, and the other as an international agricultural congress. With the first i\\c have little concern, but it is to be regretted that | we had no delegates at the other, for this is the great- |est and richest of all agricultural countries, and ‘ American delegates might have been able to give a gooMdeal of useful information té the congress, be- sides deriving from it something of value to our- selves | In the absence of any direct American representas | tion at the gathering our interest in the proceedings { lies mainly in the efforts made to form a public,sen- | timent favorable to a European customs union for | | the purpose of protecting the rural industries of the | Comtinent from the competition of this and other American countries. The leader in the movement was Count von Schwerein Loewitz, a member of the Reichstag and president of the German Agricultural Council. In | describing his aims he said he did not desire the es- | tablishment of a formal European zollverein, but | merely an understanding among the nations to safe- iguard their agricultural interests through a combined gsystem of protective tariffs. He then went on to | say: “Protection is needed in varying proportions in | the different countries, and a common tariff demands a common administration. All this is difficult to estab- lish. Besides, an economic coalition requires a certain political coalition, which is far from likely. Hence the idea of a European customs union must be re- nounced, and instead it must be recommended that in concluding commercial treaties among the Euro- pean states a clause be introduced whereby goods exported from one country to another shall enjoy spe- cial low duties, which shall not be applied to the same goods coming from non-European countries. This would prepare a way to the future formation of a European customs union.” The proposition of Count Loewitz and another on similar lines submitted by Julius Rubinek, a Hunga- rian Deputy, were debated by the congress, but formidable opposition developed. In the course of the discussion Signor Luzzatti,\who has been three times a member of the Ttalian Ministry, declared it to be impossible to form a European agreement on such an issue, and pointed to the recently adopted tariffs in Germany and in Austria as evidences of a hopeless division of interests among the powers. He went on to say that America is not wholly to blame for the excessive industrial competition of the time and added: “T shall support those states who al { |ing and an enticement. | six members attended. | name, whom he could not forgive. with his toes took his pen in féot the other day and notified the manager of what calls itself “the greatest show on earth” that prodigies should not be called freaks” nor be saluted by any other terms of de- rision. He was instructed to warn his employes not to cry, “This way to the freaks,” and to have all such terms stricken from advertisements in newspapers or on biliboards. By way of strengthening the demand the manager was informed that four years ago the prodigies of London made a similar protest and were successful in enforcing it It is to be admitted that the appeal to the London precedent was clever, for what goes in London must of course go-in New York. It was at once a warn- Even the greatest show on carth could hardly retain popular support in York if it were known to have departed from British models. However, the manager did not yield at once. Doubtless he entertained the belief that the American public could not recognize a freak under the title of prodi nd so held on to his billboards and his programmes as printed. Thereupon came the vltimatum. There was a meeting of the order, at which thirty- The Human Pin Cushion read the letter written by the Armless Wonder and and gentlemen and shonld act in accord with their worth. He paid a glowing tribute to the scientific and artistic accomplishments of the Armless Wonder, and the Lien-faced Boy vigorously applauded. The Albino Dislocutionist declared that every one present had mental qualities that raised him above the level of a freak. “I myself, for instance,” he said, “can talk intelligently to scientists or men of letters artists or any one else.” & or The prodigies from Europe were even more for- cible than those native to the soil. A Russian dancer | and a Human Samson declared that in Europe they finally decided to send a peremptory notice to the manager to stop the freak business. A committee, composed of the Armless Wonder, the Human Pin Cushion and the Stone-headed Man was appointed to convey the ultimatum, and the meeting adjourned flushed with the consciousness of coming victory. So hereafter let it be understood there are Prodigies but no freaks in the circus busines: A man was hanged in a Missouri town the other day and on the gallows trap declared there was only one man in the world, and he would not tell his This horribly sol- emn reference to himself was worth a volume of ser- mons on sin and its consequences. —_— is forced to announce that he has no accommoda- tions for the separate housing of juvenile offenders.
