ness of bringing all sorts of food and table
luxuries in refrigerator cars and in the cold
rooms of steamships will be expanded swiftly
and tO great proportions within few years.
The cities and towns of the North. the East
and the Middle West are now consuming enor-
nous quantities of oranges. of other fruits and
of delicate vegetables, which are hurried over
thousands of miles by sea or land. and which
fill the Northern markets with so rich variety
of eatables was not dreamed OF feW
decades ago. The markets of New-Orleans, oI
Savannah, of San Francisco and of many an
other city in the South or on the Paclhc Coast
have long been celebrated. But New-1Ork ana
other cities can now rival the choicest OF them
all. Great is the advantage and great Is the
gain TO fruit growers. TO raisers of spring vege-
tables and to producers and shippers OF every
thing which can be carried by vessel or by
trim 10 distant purchasers. The steamship
lines profit and the railroads grow richer; The
producers prosper and consumers rejoice. Won
derful has been the development of this notable
system of supplying the Northern markets, but
the enlargement of production and transporta-
tion and consumption in this continental field
of activity and industry will he still more Won
derful in the first quarter of this century.

PRIMARIEs N SNAIL VILLAGES.

II is a natural law that the few must fire.
Quently suffer in the interest of the many
natural but a little rough on the few. Next in
importance 10 the New-YOrk election law, as
conducting 20 political honesty. is the law gov
erning primary elections; yet compliance with
some Of it's requirements in small munich
palities leads 10 amusing complications and,
under a recent ruling of a supreme Court jus
tice. may cause great injustice wherever party
leaders are found willing to be openly unfair.
Villages are simply business corporations; their
trustees are chosen only 10 conduct the public
affairs OF the people and political beliefs or
party affiliations have no more 10 do with their
duties than with thOse OF bank or railroad Off
GERS. When two parties exist in village, the
lines are drawn only on questions of admins
trntion affecting that village.
But in some small villages, under the law, no
names can be printed on the ballot to be cast
al an election except of candidates nominated
M party caacus-a primary election-called by
the appropriate committee of one of the politi-
cal parties recognized as such in the State,
county and town. In the main this works no
hardship; fol in the main Anglo Saxon love OF
fair play prevails even amid the excitement of
a local contest In small villages compliance
with the law is made simple enough 10y a harm
party names but neither the voters nor the can
dida1es AZ either are assumed 10 be necessarily
connected with the party In whose name il is
held. In one Westchester village the Republi-
can caucus year after year nominated n promi-
ncnt Democrat for president. In another a few
years ago there was Prohibition caucus not
a half dozen voters in which professed 10 be
Prohibitionists
Thus this requirement of the law heretofore
oision in one Of the courts last week shows that
these methods cannot be followed with absolute
safety hereafter. In nearby village where
nine-tenths OF the people are Republicans and
where none but Republican caucus has ever
been held. primary election was held last
week and the votes OF large number of citi-
zens We're thrown out under rulings by the
chairman which were believed 10 be arbitrary
and unjust. The matter was taken before n
Justice OF the Supreme Court who decided that
the objections were well taken and that the
conduct OF the chairman contrary To the
public interest. 1T is stated that the chairman.
who was present. prevented the reversal of the
decision Of the caucus inspectors only by mnk-
ing an affidavit that two of the voters at the
primary were known 10 him 10 he Democrats.
This gave the official candidates majority of
one ard their names viii be printed on the
ballot presented at the polls next week. Ii
seems from this that the fiction by which small
villages have escaped the restrictions necessary.

An UNUSUAL CONVERSION.

The East Side community will watch with
interest the career of the family which came
from Russia for the purpose of becoming Jews
Despite the fact that the Jews discourage apOs-
tasy and never make any efforts toward gaining
converts, there are occasional instances of deser
tion of Christianity for Judaism. In nearly
every ease, however. the step is taken less
because of conviction than for the purpose of
making another step possible Matrimony, not

THE Fruits OF MARCH.

1t might not be easy TO recall March pre-
ceding this one in which the fruit shops and the
corner stands and street wagons were glowing
with such golden displays of the finest oranges
California this season has raised so much fruit
that she has been fastening Eastward all that
she could ship across the continent. The equip
ment of the railroads for the transportation of
these perishabe commodities has been much
overtaNcd In this time of remarkable pros
perity. so prevalent from the Atlantic to the

THE COST OF THEATRE SEATS.
WHEN THEY ARE NOT SOLD AT FANCY
PRICES THEY ARE BARGAINS.

The announcements which have Just been made
of reductions OF the prices Of seats at two Broad
way theatres aga;n call attention TO that topic
Of the cost of going to the theatre in New-York.
If it not fer the Americans habtual insist
on paying the highest possible price for every
thing that he gets. the managers would not be able
70 do what they do. But it is the law OF the coun-
try that the poor must conduct themselves ex-
actly like the rich. and that is of the best OF
the reasons why the poor grow poorer. while the
rich by industry and frugality are growing richer.
The young man who gets SIS a week Will do almost
everything before he will take the young
who gets nothing week. and is worth it. to the
theatre and have her sit in any but the most
pensive seats.
This condition has led to the curious result that
there are now almost no theatres OF moderate price
in New-York. The managers of the first class
houses find that they have only to ask whatever
they like for their seats and they get it, where
fore their prices have natural tendency TO rise
And then, since, if this goes long enough,
thing is bound TO burst-probabIy the young mans
pocketbook. because of the pressure of air with

The reduction of the prices OF the best seats in

emphasizes the fact that theatres charging 81 50

since there is nothing in the theatres where they

Recently two Broadway theatres which seem
unable to determine whether they are variety the
atres have cut their prices ruthlessly down
TO the 30 cent scale. The experiment thus far ap-
pears to be a success. The occasion for it, how
ever. is partly due the decline of the music hall
IN New-YOrk. Three four years ago New-Yorh
people would pay any price If you would only give
them vaudeville: now they wi-well. they will not
pay any price. But the decline OF vaudeville Is a
separate subject, which has been written about
before And has this for that matter.

lions were in the habit of doing The corpora
lions and combinations Of the present are almost
incomparably bigger and stronger than those OF
a quarter century ago, and the problems and
complications of the development and of the
most successful employment OF capital and re-
sources demand the exercise of impressive abil-
ity. The burdens resting upon the shoulders of
the presidents of railroads and the chief officers
OF huge business enterprises are heavier than
i'm any previous time. and the strain upon the
minds of those who carry so weighty RESPONSE
bilities is more exactng When these men are
