Why Not the Grand Jury Lock into the

To the Editors of the Appeal;
The grand jury that recently adjourned
or was discharged, looked into the
county affairs. Let this one look
into the Taxing District government
workings. 1t lets out contracts, il
is said, without any competing bids
when the law requires that there
shall be competition. It is reported
that the taxing district government is
largely in debt, when the law prevents il
from incurring any debts. Itisreported
it has employed counsel 10 litigations
when the Taxing District attorney i:
paid ample to do the law business for the
government. Let the grand jury inspect
and give the people the facts:

The New York Indicator, commenting on
an article from the Railway Gazetie, setting
forth the losses sustained by the railroads
this year, % compared with 1881, thinks
the Ga-ehe takes too despondent view Of
the matter. The total shipments Tor the
eight months this year ara larger than for
the same time in any of the preceding
years, excepting only 1882 and 1884, and
only q trife smaller than in the latter
yeAr. Despite the general depression that
has prevailed, therefore, railroad traffic
has been we'll kept up. and but for the
folly of cutting rates would have yielded
fair profits TO the railroads. If II is true
that the roads have reduced rates below
the point where the natural effect was to
increase traffic, then it is equally true that
the railroads could have charged higher
rates without causing a reduction IN
traffic. Herein lies the folly of the rail-
roads, They voluntarily threw their profits
to the winds.
