LITTLE PROSPECT OF A CoLD-s7oRAdE LAW.

m s a matter of fact, there is very little expectation in the
n State that the Legislature will pass any bill for the regu-
lation of cold storage. The conviction is firmly planted in
the public mind that the coIdstorage system, controlled by com
binations. is the means by which the prices of the necessaries of
life have been raised TO inordnate figures. The facts show it. The
only way in which this method of extortion and oppression can
be held in check is by State supervision and control, and the Legis-
iature is the only power than can provide for such regulation. The
Legislature cannot have the excuse of Ignorance, for the facts
brought out by the Hudson county grand jury investigation have
been laid before its members. The question of food prices touches
every family in the State and affects the domestic economies of
poor and rich alike. So far the Legislature has exhibited an in
difference to the question. If either the James or the Sullivan bill
shall be reported. amendments will no doubt be ready to make
the bill non-efective. Probably they are already prepared. a bun
combe act is the usual resort of legislators who dare not altogether
ignore a popular demand. If the Legislature shall enact a bill that
will deal effectively with the abuses of cold storage there will be
surprise as well as qualification in New Jersey.

More street signs Needed.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
1t seems to me that a city the size Of
Newark ought to have a better system
of street signs than is at present in
vogue in this city. Fully half the
streets have nothing to identify them,
and a stranger who is looking for some
town will have a long and %perplexing
journey if he depends upon the street
signs, or rather the absence of them.
If you depend upon trolley car con
ductors to reach your destination you
are apt to be carried far beyond the
point where you want to go. This has

SPEAKING RIGHT OUT.

teen years. During that time l
never knew him to tell a lie.A I
have been acquainted with Peary
for twenty-one years, and l have
lever known him to tell the truth"
This statement was made by an
aged navigator, who has been in
terested in Arctic exploration for
half a: century, and is, indeed, high
praise. 1t will not, however, be
likely to induce the Brooklynite to
return and face his neighbors nor
the commander to relinquish his
claims.

ton and half-hearted Endorsements

servation is most refreshing.

LESSONS TAUGHT BY PHILADELPHIA.

ID HIINpELpHIA presents an objeetIesson that can be pom
liz de1A in all cities with profit. In two weeks the city has
been converted from an orderly, Industrious and contented
community into a yeritable bedlam. Riots have occurred, property
destroyed and lives sacrificed, business and industry have suffered
great losses, people have been compelled to endure hardships, and
there, will be a formidable bill for the taxpayers to pay. Very soon
the city will return to its normal conditions, unless new complca-
tons shall arise to make matters worse. In the end, however,
nothing will have been gained by the men whose strike brought
about the unhappy events that have given Philadelphia an un-
enviable notoriety. Several thousand men will have lost their
means of livelihood, and will be seeking new occupations, and it
will be long before the city RECEIVERS from it's hurts. The lessons
" be taken from Philadelphias experience are SO plain that it
you'd be idiocy to repeat the experience in any other city.

WAT CAPE NAYS COUNTY CLERK DIDN'T Oil

@OvERNOR FORTS veto of the bill rairoaded by Senator
MI Hand to compel the people of Cape May to add a thousand
dollars to the salary of one of Hands henchmen, the Cape
May county clerk, is denounced by Hands newspaper in Cape May
city. As a reason for the salary increase the Hand paper cites the
number of summer resorts in the county and the alleged number
Of summer visitors. all of which, it is assumed, increases the work
of the county clerk. There are more summer visitors in Atlantic
are six times the number of visitors in Monmouth county, and a
greater number of summer resorts. In point of fact, there is less
investment in real estate in Cape May county than in any other
seashore county, except Ocean. And the Hand bill proposed to
give to the clerk of Cape May, a fourthcass county, a larger salary
than the clerks of the seven thirdclass counties. There was so
much pure gall in the proposition that the Senate was evidently
conscience stricken by the veto. Only Hand voted to override the

THEY'LL FIND A WAY.

At the first blush it would ap-
pear that the law regulating the
length of hatpins in Chicago would
work a. rank injustice.
According to the provisions of the
ordinance as it is framed now, it
will be illegal for a lady to carry
a hatpin which protrudes more than
half an inch beyond the, crown of
her lid.
Taking the average hat-crown as
a model, the pin must needs be, IL it
conforms to law, too short to make
an effective weapon.
But a little consideration will show
how easy it will be for a woman to
keep within the letter of the law
and yet carry a rapier with her.

The present year seems to be a pros
porous one for building operations in
Newark, and if the season is undis-
turbed by strikes or lockouts its record
may exceed that Of any former year.
There is every reason for faith in the
future of our city. The Prudential In
surance Company, which sagaciously
looks ahead, shows its confidence by
large building investments. An evil
dence of faith is the new sky
scraper at the Four Corners, the avant
courier of other lofty edifices soon to
be raised in that vicinity. There is no
safer or solder investment thai that

some of the upstate cities where the

and more humanity in New York city
than in other city of the State.

regard to Newark among the cities n
towns of this State. Parochial politi-
clans in the Legislature are in the
habit of speaking of Newark as a

WILL THERE Be
A RAILROAD WAR?

There is some evidence that the
Western Pacific and Southern
Pacific are to be real rivals for the
trade of the Pacific. Lately Togo
Kisen Kaisha, a big Japanese steam
ship line, operating ships between
Asiatic and California ports, has
parted company with the Pacific
Mail Steamship company, Harri-
man concern, and has served notice
that it will cooperate with the
Western Pacific road on transconti-
mental business, says the Ogden
Standard.
This indicates a we'll matured
plan on the part of the Gould
people to go after the trans-Pacific
trade and it is so bold a move as to
call for a counter move on the part
of the Southern Pacific, and, per-
haps, lead to intense rivalry.
The Western Pacific shows some
signs of greater financial strength,
which may be explained on tn e
theory that Hill or other big inter-
ests are now back of that road.
A contest for the trade of the
Pacific would be a radical change
from the present railroad situation
on the coast. There has never
been anything approaching a rail-
road war to disturb the serenity of
railroad life in this part of the
United States. From Ogden to
San Francisco, or to Southern Cali
fornia, or the Northwest shippers
have had no choice of routes or
rates. With the Western Pacific
growing as bold as a buccaneer on
the high seas, capturing steamship
lines and defying the Hartman
people to retaliate, the Southern
Pacific may be provoked into a
contest.
