OPEN CARS AGAIN.

The assertion Of the Metropolitan Traction
Company that it is impossible for it TO run one
closed car out of four would be received with
less incredulity If IL did not abuse its privileges
on such day as yesterday. 1t did not need
a weather prophet to say that it was to be Il
cold. wet and dsagrceable day. by 0 O'Clock
in the morning the rain was falling. and 1t
rained all day. Yet no effort was made to suit
the car service to the weather. Broadway pill
grims had to let the rain and mud beat on them,
or else crawl under wet and nasty curtains. y
closed car was n rare and precious thng-as
rare as on warm and sunny day.
While the public was looking vanly for
closed vehicle, or rubbing against wet curtains.
President Nrceland before the Health
Board, saying that he did not want TO run ore
closed car in four for the accommodation OF
those persons who do not like strong breczcs in
hot weather. The open cars were really phil
anthropic enterprise. The poor used them for
outings and n mother was allowed 10 take n
whole seat full OF babies for one fare. Never
theess the profits of the company would be hurt
il closed cars had TO be supplied in part. The In
ference was that they were really unnecessary,
because nobody would ride in them. though we
suspect that tie loss Of profit would be due to
the fact that the open cars can be damned with
more peop'a than the closed ones and the rail-
road finds it hardship TO have to give more
room to its patrons. At any rate, the plea was
not particularly impressive in the face OF the
unwilngness Of the company 10 take Off open
cars on n nasty day when everybody wanted the
closed ones.
That was apparently the view Of the Health
Board for Immediately after tho Third Avenue
Company announced its willingness 10 comply
with the proposed rule and Mr. Nrecland had ex-
pressed his unwilliDgness, the Board adopted
the ordinance and directed that it so into effect
In two weeks This we are convinced is proper
measure. 1t might be unnecessary If better
Judgment were shown in adapting strcetcar
service to weather But If superntendcnts will
not exercise discretion, then ordinances must be
made.

GENERAL SHOULD RETURN.

Tho New York Mail and Express,
which more than once has spoken high
~ OF Consul General Lee, and has al
ways been anxious that he should con-
tlnue as the representative of this coun-
TRY In Cuba, now comes forward with
the emphatic declaration that he should
return to Havana in that capacity when
his leave Of absence expires After no.
ticing at some length the return of the
General TO this country, 1t says:
General Fitzhugh Lee Is back in his
naive Virginia, on leave Of absence.
President Mckinley Is back in Wash

include our relations with Spain. 1t Is
probable that. despite the Consul Gene
rafs call upon Secretary Sherman. the
PRESIDENT will request his presence at
the White House for n personal consul

would gladly relinquIsh his office in Gu

OF INTER EST TO FARMERS

Every farmer IN the land, and for that
matter everybody else, just about now Is
interested in the foreign demand for
wheat, and such being the fact, the
following, from Bradstreets of Satur-
day last, will be read with interest:
Exports OF wheat (nour included
rs wheat from both coasts of the
UNITED States and Montreal show ~
FALLING off from last week. but are
Still very large. aggregating 5.461,-
sos bushels. With the exception Of
last week, when the total exports
aggregated 6,26S, PAT bushels, they are
largest for any week this year, and
compare with exports in the last
week OF a year ago OF 3,799141, In
1876 OF 100000. in 1894 of 27S9, 900 and
in 1893 OF $4,000 bushels"
Speaking OF corn. it says that corn
exports are the largest for any week
since last spring. aggregating 4,943,-
