The refusal Of the Railroad Commission 70
grant the application of the Coney Island anu
Brooklyn Railroad Company to use the trolley
system within the limits of Brooklyn will doubt
less be regarded by the people OF that Guy aS
a good thing. Still, the decision does not toucn
the general ground upon which the use oil tne
trolley in the streets Of cities is based. Inc
Commission considers the question OF interior
enoe with access to Prospect Park and the cross
ing of Ocean Parkway by anything but horse
raiIload but its main point is that the city OF
BROOKLYN owns more than half of the property
along the route in question, and has not gwen
its consent to the proposed change.

The IyouIRY CONCERNING PRICES.

The Senate Finance Committee has cOmplet-
ed the preparations for an inquiry regarding
prices which promises to be one OF unusual
fruitfulness and value. The subcommittee
selected to conduct the inquiry, consisting of
Senators Aldrich, Hiscock and Carlisle after
sessions for ten days in this city adjourned last
week, having decided upon the method and
scope Of the inquiry, selected about seventy
five places distributed throughout the country
at which retail prices are to be ascertained and
prepared with great care a schedule Of articles
to be included in this branch Of the inquiry.
These articles number about 800 including 81
articles of food, 60 of clothing, 81 of metals
and implements, OF fuel and light Il of
building materials, % of household furnishing
goods, and of drugs and chemicals. In con-
Dection with the experts who were selected to
aid the investigation, a wide range of articles
has been considered, and information has been
obtained from prominent dealers in all branches
of trade respecting the kinds Of articles which
enter into most general consumption. Through
the same sources the committee has further in
yestiga;ed the precise grades or trade designa-
tons of each article which would best represent
the consumption of the great proportion of the
people, having especial reference to the cost of
living for the working millions
1t is believed that no other schedule for an
inquiry into prices has ever been prepared with
such care or th0roughness, or in such a manner
as 10 represent so large part of the cxpcndi-
turos of the people. The entire fairness Of the
schedule could hardly be Questioned, for the
committee has acted on all matters without
