The sale Of trotting horses which has
been going on at Madison Square Garden
during the past nine days came TO an end
yesterday, and, although some Of the ami
mails under the hammer brought surpris-
ingly low prices. considering their records
and pedigrees, the sale proved ~conclusively
that the day OF the harness horse is a long
way from its close.
There is doubtless a good deal OF truth
in the assertion that, as the automobile
comes into more general use, the demand
for horses will diminish. The sale at the
Garden. however, has shown that there is
a ready market for really good horses and
that a willingness still exists among horse
men to pay fancy prices Tor choice breeds.

Some Of the Chicago newspapers are
making base, envious filings at the Hon.
CARTER HARRISON, the Fairy Prince OF
the Cook County Democracy. They pre-
tend that time and feeding nave expanded
that once romantic form and that he can
no longer buy his clothes ready-made.
The story Is probably false. There is ready
made clothing for the latest as well as
for the l~eanest: and CARTER HARRISON
is too good a Kansas City platform Demo-
crat TO become an expansionist.

THE CHEAP HOTELS.
when Huge Two-dollar-a-day Hostelries
VIII be Provided IN New York.

Will Do Provided IN New York.
To THE EDITOR OF The SuH-Sir: The
present discussion In our paper of the need
Of huge stwo-dollar-a-day hotels in
New York suggests the great advance In
expenditure In this country during the
last generation. About forty or more
years ago the standard price at hotels of
h very best class was 81 so a day. including
both board and lodging. for the American
plan y prevailed quite universally: and 1t
was regarded then as a high price. Those
were the days when Paran Stevens was
h notable landlord OF a chain OF hotels
out OF which he made the large fortune
left by him, or the nucleus of IL.
As to huge = two-dollar-day hotels In
New York, the only argument for their
provision which will avail practically is
that Of the profit to be made from them.
II 1t can be shown that they will pay hand
somely the great amount OF capital required
for sites and buildings will be supplied
readily. Does not the very fact that your
correspondents are complaining that while
expensive hotels and apartment houses
with hotel features, 30 far especially as
concerns common restaurant provisions,
have increased rapidly during the last ten
years and many plans for others on a scale
"
OF great magnifcance are now made, sug-
gest that investments in these are proved
to be better aud safer thar In the cheap
hotels they demand?
The great cost in running a hotel Of the
more expensive kind Is for service. Reduce
that item OF outlay largely and lower prices
70 patrons might be made profitable.

It II said that no other Army Board ever
convened in our service had so many officers
Of high rank as that now sitting In WASH
ington TO prepare a list Of army posts TO be
abandoned. The Lieutenant General Com
manding the Army, four Major-Generals,
three Brigadier- Generals, and n Colonel,
compose the board; the recorder Is a Lieu
enan Colonel. The members OF the
boa d are all men Of experience, who know
the needs OF the army and the posts which
are no longer Of military importance, and
IL is said that there will be nc " junketing
trips OF inspection. The board will
doubtless report shortly; after its report
is made. Congress may be expected to
amend the list of army posts recommended
for abandonment. 50 that probably the
net advantage 20 the army and the country
in the way OF closing up unnecessary sta
tons will be less than the military ex-
perts would prefer. The average town
or city having an army post near 1t objects
even more ~strenuously TO the abandon
ment Of the post than 1t did to its estab-
lishment.

Finding Fault with Jurors.

Is il proper for a Judge TO scold a
Grand Jury from the bench for refusing 10
indict a person whom the Judge thinks
ought to be indicted?
This question is suggested by an
occurrence on Tuesday in the Court of
Quarter Sessions of Hudson county,
New jersey. IN discharging the Grand
Jury, Judge JOHN A. BLAIR said:
The whole Court has examined the testimony
taken before YOU In the sullivan case. and It is the
unanimous and unqualified opinion of the Court
tina, the evidence was such and sufficient for YOU
to have founded an indictment. To take no notice
Of such negligent or wilful disregard OF duty on
your part. and to permit you to depar, with she
thanks OF the public from the Court would be
equiv alent to an acknowledgment OF an agree
ment between the Grand Jury and the Court not
to prosecute and punish manifest violations Of
law"
II seems that the jurors thus addressed
constituted the third Grand Jury which
had refused 10 find an indictment against
the person mentioned by Judge BLAIR.
The foreman asked the Judge for leave 10
say a word in response TO the rebuke
from the bench, but this favor was per-
emptorily refused
Now, il is 10 be noted that the Con-
stitution and the laws of those States
in which the Grand jury system Is pre-
served do not leave 1t 10 the Judges 90
say who shall be indicted That funC-
ton is conferred upon the Grand Jury;
and II they determine that a man ought
-. a.. 4. .,Nt.t.I u,l 0I.V tI.Ns all ...,
find an indictment against him, all the
Judges in the State together cannot
