competition that the companies will be
quick, not only to reduce their fares, but to
extend their service wherever O profit can
be secured by doing so.
But the tendency to establish an arbitrary
regulation by governmental authority. in
stead of the natural force which impels all
competitors to do business where there is a
profit, produces this enactment that all sur
face lines must run night cars. In New York
this is undoubtedly brought about by IN
terests, some of them of a decidedly dis
credltable character, whose nocturnal trans
actions will be aided by the maintenance of
transportation facilities during the entire
night. For their benefit, that portion of the
public which furnishes the paying business,
must bear the burden of whatever loss re-
suits upon the running of the night cars.
Hardly any better illustration is needed
of the arbitrary and unintelligent rule
which results from putting the system of
government regulation in the place OF reg
uiation by the natural and unhampered
forces OF supply and demand
If the New York Board of Aldermen had
foresight enough to make competition in
street car service entirely free, it would take
the most effectual means of ensuring that
night cars would be run wherever there is.
demand enough to justify it.

THEIR STRONGEST ADVOCATE.

The dismissal of the indictments against
Keenan, and Ssyles, two of the New York
boodlers who have recently returned from
Canada, brings out a curious conflict of
opinion between the New York District At
torney and the boodlers themselves 1t is
not singular that the fugitive aldermen
should come back, or that the indictments
should be nolled. These are the legitimate
results of the District Attorneys admins
tration of his ofice. But it is singular that
in dismissing the case, the District At
tornev takes a more favorable view of these
famous gentlemen's cases than they have
been able TO take themselves.
In dismissing the case, Colonel Fellows
did so on the ground that there was no evil
dence on which to convict them. But
Keenan, and Sayles in levanting to Canada
and remaining there for two or three years
have shown exactly the opposite conviction.
Men do not run away from prosecution and
hide themselves for years in a foreign land
unless they know that there is evidence
against them. The boodling aldermen gave
the strongest avowal in their action of their
AnO"leuBe tnat tueIe ls tNluence WHICH
would send them to prison If an energetic
prosecution undertook the task of working
it up.
Colonel Fellows attitude in putting
keenan, and Ssyles' case more strongly than
their own actions did is a generous way of
heaping Goals of fire on their head for the
lack of confidence in him which they dis
played by failing to return from Canada the
day be took charge of his Office. They ought
to have known what he was there for.

POINTERS FOR GENTLEMEN.

WITH outing wear the plainest kind Of hand
kerchief is desirable.
THE Prince Albert coat seems to be coming
strong for morning wear in London in variety
of rough faced cloths
UNDERWEAR and hosiery Of the plainest
character suitable to the temperature is most
in demand, in gauze, Isle and silk.
THE made-up scarfs will be in less demand
in warm weather. And the four-in-hands and
wide Ascots will not be associated with out
ing wear.
THE Tuxedo coat may be worn in the even
ing during the summer without the waistcoaL
A black surah or satiI sash is substituted upon
these occasions.
THE metal-headed canes seem to tend in
their decoration TO repousse work in silver,
or tracing of the silver in erratic designs
upon the Datural wood sticks.
SOME of the wide waist belts shown for out
ing wear are calculated to turn the convictions

80 The BUSINESS OFFICE Of THE DIS
PATCH has been removed TO Corner Of
SmithfeId and Diamond Streets.
WHAT THE CAUSE WILL Bee

A director Of the Citizens Traction Com
pany in an interview with regard to the
coming rivalry between the Duquesne and
Pittsburg Traction Company indicates a be-
lief that it Will be pushed to a degree that
will force consolidation. That is quite pos
sible; but it will be wise to have the causes
that lead to that result fully understood.
The interview shows-a perception of the
fact that cutthrcst rivalry leads to consoli-
dation; but it does not clearly recognize the
rule that the only purpose of cutthroat
rivalry is to force either a consolidation or
a combination. 1t is quite possible that the
increase Of ira ffic on the traction lines may
make three cent fares profitable; in which
case, as The DISPATCH has pointed out,
natural competition will force the reduction
But if rates are cut to the point which in
ficts loss, the sole purpose will be the fore
ing of combination, and, beyond that, no
such losing rivalry will ever be resorted to,
unless the combination is deemed possible
Without the prizes to be obtained in that
way the obvious course for each competitor
is to stop the reduction at the point where
profit ceases, and to let its rivals do the los
ing business.
If our traction road magnates and city
authorities wish to prevent the cutthroat
rivalry that is produced by the hope of COM
bination, they should recognize that the
surest way of doing it, is to put compe-
tition on so broad basis that combination
will be impossible.
