The white of an egg Is made up of
little cells filled with albumen. BY
beating the white these cells are rup.
tured, and oxygen from the air Is In
closed which gives the white and light

Importance of beating the egg In cold,

Good Sense From q Di.hop.

The Right Rev. HENRY GOODMAN PoT-
TER, Protestant Episcopal Bishop Of
New York, visited Pennsylvania Wednes-
day and made an address 10 the MEM
bers OF the diocesan convention in the
Church Of St. Luke and the Epiphany.
Political and economic subjects engfoss
much Of Bishop PoTIBR's attention, and
he naturally made some remarks on the
municipal problems that press for solu-
ton in the City Of Brotherly Love. A
part Of his address included these SEN
sible words:
The real solution lies In the ballot. know
you will say that the decent citizens have fAned
again and again In that direction. But they must
do the work night Give Philadelphia such house
cleaning as we have had several umes In New York
and the corrupt politicians viii surely be crushed
and driven out.

power bad everything to do with II In New YORK
Nor is the accepted Phlladelphls theory correo,
that It is impossible 10 purge the ballot In what
you term your stun OF downtown wards, where
tremendous mAjontleS for the organization are
rolled up. We have a foreign population several
keep our polls fairly clean
In the last sentence Bishop POTTER
stated q fact too frequently lost 70 sight
or deliberately disregarded by those
who discuss the political affairs Of New
York city. It is the custom among
partizan enemies Of the organization
that for many years has controlled our
municipal departments to attribute its
victories at the polls 70 the buying or
intimidation Of the voters. Some per-
sons may really believe this to be the
truth, for the delusion has been cult
waited assiduously by self-seeking poll
ticians Of the Odell stripe and uniformed
"reformers" whose good intentions were
more than counterbalanced by their lack
Of knowledge.
Not only are New York's polls fairly
clean, but the elections conducted here
are free from corruption to a remarkable
degree. In its independence, honesty,
good judgment and thoughtfulness the
electorate Of New York compares favor
ably with those Of other communities,
large and small, throughout the nation.
These facts ambitious politicians would
do we'll to bear in mind, and it is crafty
ing tc learn that they have made an inn
preston on so eminent an apostle Of
civic purity as Bishop POTTER.

Rate Fixing In Canada.

The rate fixing microbo has enlarged
the field OF its activities. 1t has crossed
the Canadian border and is busy with
the people OF Canada and with the
Dominion Parliament. The question Of
discrimination in freight rates by Cana
dian railways TO the injury Of Canadian
shippers came up for Parliamentary
consideration on April 27. 1t provoked
a lively discussion, and il is not probable
that the matter will die without an active
investigation.
The Committee on Agriculture was
the instigator Of the movement. It
was pointed out that Canadian railway
rates were much higher than American
rates, and that Canadian shippers, par
ticularly the farmers, were thereby
handicapped in the market. II was
also declared that merchandise shipped
from Michigan over routes crossing
Canadian territory secured lower rates
than similar merchandise shipped over
the same lines from points in Canada,
although the Canadian points lay nearer
the port Of destination
One Of the wheels in our neighbours
political machinery is a Railway Com
mission which is, under the laws Of it's
creation, vested with wide power and
authority During the debate on April
n Mr.. r. L. BORDEN, the leader OF the
Conservative party, stated that while
he feared that there might be some
legal difficulties in the way, the Railway
Commission undoubtedly had jurisdic-
ton in the matter OF rates. The Hon.
Mr.. EMERSON contended that no ma
terial difficulty existed because the Rail
way Commission could Of its own mo-
ton inquire into and determine the
complaint. He said that the commits
sion was amply empowered by the Rail
way act to remedy grievances respecting
rates, whether local, standard or through
traffic. He said that it also had power
TO deal with the rates made by a oom-
bination Of several railway companies, TO
annul and void them, to make new tariff
altogether, and 70 specify what proper
ton each railway should receive

not his summing up. therefore, be more
effective with the jury and the public II
1t was simply a clear and logical and
judicial knitting together OF the threads
Of testimony? Passion and prejudice
belong rather to the defense Of the ao-
cused, but even there whom they are

elemsnt Of weakness.
InAsmuch a. the trial Of person 40

Of the county was expended, is not
creditable 10 our civilization, and more
especially TO our machinery Of justice.

Mayor DUNES Revolution.

On April 4 Of this year the Hon. Ed
WARD F. dunno of Chicago issued to
the public a statement Of his views on
the election that had resulted in the
success Of his candidacy for Mayor Of
the city. In that statement Mayor
elect dunno said:
Il regard my election by a majority Of approx
matsly 1900. In view Of the revolution in the man
Agemept Of public utilities that II porends, and In
view Of the tremendous financial Interests involved
upon the other side Of this economic struggle, as a
remarkable victory for the people OF this city.
Il means that Chicago, ever In the lead, which is
the nerve center OF America. viii take the lead
among American cities In manipulating is pub
Nc utilities. II We can, as confidently believe We
can. introduce this great reform In Chicago
One month after these hopeful words
were spoken the city Of Chicago finds
its highways in the control Of an organi-
zation whose only object is to prevent
their use for business purposes by any
citizen outside the membership OF their
association. Peaoeable residents, guilty
Of no ofense against the laws Of the
State or ordinances of the municipality,
are prevented by violence from earning
their living in the public thoroughfares.
Business men are not allowed to trans
port the raw material for their factories
or the finished products for their Gus
toners through the streets Coal mer-
chants cannot deliver the fuel ordered
by their patrons Shopkeepers cannot
keep their bargains 10 send articles sold
by them 10 the homes Of the purchasers.
The public highways are public utili-
ties Of the first class. That they should
be operated for the benefit Of all the
citizens Of the community will not be
disputed. II the revolution in the
management Of public utilities which
on April EDWARD F. DUNE believed
his election 'portended' is on exhibition
now in Chicago, the residents Of that
community are entitled to the hearty
sympathy Of their fellow Americans.

For the Destruction Of the Central
Park.

A project 10 bring about changes in
the Central Park which violate its public
purpose and involve the perversion OF
its whole artistic plan is now urged by
few citizens OF New York. This scheme,
in brief, is to take down the wall along
the Fifth avenue side Of the Park and
sacrifice a part OF the enclosure for the
construction Of a wide boulevard to give
additional consequence 10 that already
favorite situation for the residences Of
some Of the more wealthy citizens Of the
town.
OF course, II the wishes OF these citi-
zens we're gratihed there would be no
justification in refusing the request Of
other citizens TO tear down the wall and
shave of part Of its space on the other
sides Of the Park for the construction Of
similar boulevards. The Park then
would become like the City Hall Park,
for example, an open but not an en-
closed place.
The first suggestion Of such a perver-
sion Of the scheme Of the Central Park,
it seems. was made by that excellent II
somewhat eccentric citizen the Hon.
ROBERT B. ROOSEVELT, an uncle Of the
President. He even goes 30 far as TO
advise that the original plan shall be
destroyed wholly. Give us park
further uptown, is his demand, 'and let
there be streets and roadways from
Fifth avenue to Eighth avenue south Of
the Mall, crossing the esplRnade.' Ac-
cording 20 Mr.. RoosEvELT's notion,
the Central Park as IL Is now laid out is
'an irredeemable Disagreement Of the
city; "an ugly, inappropriate square
Of wilderness slapped down into the mid
die Of the city, cutting Of the East Side
from the West Side, and about a. pictur-
esque as a cabbage patch But 70 be
such wilderness in the middle Of the
city was exactly the purpose in the laying
out Of the Central Park.
