Grand Opera Extravaganza.

Oscar Ilanmerstein informs the public that his
losses in grand opera during the past season
amounted to $225e 9t4e-That Is Il large sum of
money but we may well believe Mr.. Ham
mersten's statement when it is known that he
paid such salaries as $4,000 night to Nine
Tctrazzini, II 500 to Mary Garden, 81 300 TO
Zenatello and so on. These fabulous prices
were due to the sharp competition between the
Manhattan and til Metropolitan opera houses
and now that the competition is ended 1t is
probable that salaries will fall during the next
season, and, may be, the price of seats. During
the past season seats on the lower floor Of these
two places of amusement sold for s. each at
every performance and the operas were we'll at

The Ethics of High Prices.

The railroads are advancing the wages of
their employees The railroads are also advanc-
ing rates The shipper pays the advanced rate,
but he adds it to the price of the commodity
which he sells and eventually the consumer
pays the freight.

road rates with tariff schedules and taxes of

Here is an interesting study. For some rea-
snn, or reasons, there is an increase IN the cost
of living all along the line, the sHy1ng gees.

State Wide Matters.

The Henry County Bulletin, which frankly
avows that il is an anti-prmary papers, says
that it has time and again made the point that
the primary system had never been passed upon

Therefore, it suggested long ago that the ques-
ton Of primary or convention be submitted to
