CALLS FOR ACTION ON RAMAPO.
MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION WANTS ASSEM-
BLY, COMMITTEE TO REPORT THE
BILLS WITHOUT DELAY.

The Merchants Association of New-York yester-
day mailed to each member of the Cities Committee
Of the Assembly except Assembyman Gherard
Davis a letter which calls upon the committee in
peremptory terms 10 report the Ramapo Water
bills to the Legislature without further delay AS
semblyman Davis voted for the motion to bring the
Demarest Dill out of committee and he is supposed
10 DE ready without proddng act on the
Ramapo Water bills held In committee The
members of the committee to whom the letter
was sent are Otto Kelsey, Merton E. Lewis Abra m
c. De Graw Edward c. Brennan, John McKeown
James G. Graham. Jean L. Burnett, Edward Nc
Creary Patrick F. Trainor John J. Cain Henry
Streif1er and Nicholas j. Miller
The letter of the Merchants Association declares
that information heretofore sent to the committee
shows that unless the Ramapo Water bills now
IN the Cities Committee are enacted practical
troll or the water supply and the water powers of
very large of the State will be placed within
the grasp OF a great monopoly. Its legal powers
have been covertly got, and may be so perverted
that the public powers delegated to 1t will be
turned against the people instead OF being used
for their benefit"
The letter declares that 1.-The proper function of
a legislative committee is to inquire and report
for the guidance of the whole body of the Legslat-
ure, and that for committee to dispose of egtsla-
ton by suppression is to deprive the people of the
rights of hearing aid vote by full house. to
usurp the power Of the Legislature itself, and to
promote all the abuses which always go with hid
den power and freedom from responsibility
After demanding that the committee let the pub
lie know who the directors to the bills and
what the objections are the letter says in conclu-
sion:
Holding these views to rights and your
duty, it is our intent TO insist upon them to the
uttermost; and we shall therefore give the fullest
publicity to all the details of this in such form
that the truth will become known to every voter in
the State; and when unfaithful public servants re-
turn with uncl lean hands to face an outraged peo-
pie that people viii 'smite, and spare not
Having already mailed to the people seventy
thousand printed statements whose presentment of
fact leaves room for doubt to your duty. we
shall suspend further action during the present
week. and trust to receive satisfactory assurance
from you in the time.

A Substitute for Irvine.

Experiments with a new device for ty-
ing up mail were started Monday in the
New England division of the Railway
Mail Service. Though it is only simple
device, consisting o. colored string and
a wire catch, it may be of considerable
importance to the mail service, and
possibly may save the government
few thousand dollars every year. The
department has bought 100000 of the
hold-fasts. 1t is estimated that each one
may be used fifty times with satisfaction,
and possibly longer, and the inventor has
offered to supply the government with all
the hod-fasts it needs in the mail service
for S75, 900 year AT that figure about
SIS GOO of $40, 900 year could be saved,
as the department expends between $685.
600 and 500, 900 a year for Irvine. The
appropriation for last year was about 800
600 which was an increase over the
appropriation for the previous year.
A similar device was introduced in the
service several weeks ago, but because OF
little defect in the wire buckle it did not
give full satisfaction, and the entire supply
was recalled. The new one is an improve
ment on this buckle. While the test is
going on the clerks in the service will
have to make close observations, and each
day report to their superiors how many
break and how many packages become
united. A package OF letters can be tied
up qui ker with this hold-fast than with
ordinary Irvine, but the untying of pack
age takes little longer, as the tie must
be taken off carefully and saved. whereas
the Irvine is simply cut and thrown away

The Cost of Living

Prices in the stock m II ket may fall until
it seems as if "the bottom had dropped
cut" of the speculative stocks; but the
bills for groceries and provisions and
other household neces sites show no signs
OF dwindIng. Outside of ore or two
articles where the price is pretty steadily
maintained by competition between trusts.
the COS, of living continues to advance.
Take the average of household expendi-
lures year ago and comparing ii with
similar items to-day, the cost of living
seems to have advanced about IS per cent.
1t is hard TO state any figure exactly.
because some families use more OF one
class OF food products than their neighbors,
ano also because rent had advanced very
greatly in some sections, while i, has been
almost to star dstill in some other places.
The estimate OF IS per cent. however,
will probably be found quite close TO the
average increase in the cost OF living In
this section. THIS fact should be borne
in mind as at least partial explanation OF
the certain widespread increases in wages
in the past two months.

The Ideal Father.

"Of all relation among individuals, in
all combinations which life offers in this
world, there is none that Is more won
derful than motherhood, and fatherhood
comes next" writes Barnetta Brown In
the February Ladies' Home journal.
"The mother may be represented as a
dove, with love and gentle care brooding
over the young; the father as an eagle,
strong, eager to defend and help. The
mother should be an embodiment of
sweetness and gentleness; the father a
citadel of strength. A father, then, to
avoid his failures, must be of fine, large
quality, strong, sane and loving; a self
forgetful, pleasant guide, a chum for his
boys, lover for his girls, compre-
hending husband, comfortable man.
With a father like this and mother
such as we have sometimes seen and
often dreamed of, the pathway OF child
hood becomes not one Of thorns. but one
besprnkltd with flowers, and life Is
changed from drearv round of mis-
takes and failures into comforta-
hle, success ul and beautiful journey.
frightened by cheerfulness, gladdened
ty comradship, sweetened by love, and
enjoyed alike by mother, father and
children"
