Cruelty to Horses.

To the Editor Of tho Evening Star:
I have read with great interest OF
the humane work your paper has and
Is doing, and make an appeal to you
for the poor horses. So many OF them
are SO cruelty beaten and dubbed hero
near my home on the new Weequahic
Park tract streets, and also in Bergen
street, that I have taken the liberty
Of asking. you to do something to stop
It.
On the streets I have mentioned they
are laying a new sewer. A few days
ago some mon were working out here
In the rain, and 1t was shameful, that
under tho very eyes of the police. these
men should have been allowed to beat
their horses so numerically. They
used clubs and knotted ropes, n
what with the heavy roads and the I'M
merciful beatings they received. the
horses were covered with welts and
whip marks. I saw one human beast
even draw a penknife and jab his
horse, swearing that he would "cut

In so far as the spectators were

ea HE resolutions adopted by the State Railroad Commission are
formidable in length. But, considering that the commission
acknowledges it has no power over rates of any kind, and,
moreover, that the commission declares it has no jurisdiction what.
ever in the matter of fares that represent a contract for a con-
tinuous journey from a point in New Jersey to Manhattan, the reso-
lutions appear to be Sound and fury, signifying nothing" The
commission proposes to investigate railroad property values. What
is the necessity? The figures from the State assessors report for
last year will do. The railroads cannot say that the State board
has under1alued their properties and that the real values are very
much greater than the assessments. They have contended right
along that they were overassessed for taxes. But after the commits
sion hasAfxed upon values by some process, what is to be done? The
commission by it's own confession can do nothing. Meanwhile, July
/ is approaching and it will soon be too late for anything to be done.

DON'T BE HASTY.

Complaints against the excessive
heat would be decidedly out Of
order today.
In Difference to the loud and
angry protests against the unsea-
sonable weather of the early part
of the month the weather man has
sent us summer.
To begin Immediately to oar
about the heat would convict the
public of glaring inconsistency. It
is conventional to allow one days
grace before starting a campaign
of vituperation against a brand Of
weather which is the opposite Of
that which you have been laynbast-
ing.
For the day at least make sum-
mer think It Ia welcome. 1t will be
time enough tomorrow to get out
the hammers and inaugurate the
anvil chorus. Several months Of
hot weather extend before us. CIV
ing ample opportunity for express
sions of annoyance.

NAHHA is the money-making value of the railroad terminal
WV roads in New Jersey? These railroads were once owned In
New Jersey. The Pennsylvania railroad sought a terminal
on the Hudson and secured the United Railroads Of New Jersey by
guaranteeing 10 per cent. dividends on the stock. The Lackawanna
sought a terminal on the Hudson and leased or bought the Morris
and Essex, guaranteeing Z per cent. dividend on the stock. The
Reading combined with the New Jersey Central to get to the Hud-
son. The Lehigh Valley pays a large rental to the Pennsylvania for
the privilege of using its terminal at Jersey City. On the Hudson
shore front the State has virtually given to the railroads a property,
now fenced in from the public, worth hundreds Of millions What
has been done with all the value Of the terminal roads and the water
front? 1t has gone into the capitalization upon which the people Of
north New Jersey are now required to pay fat dividends by excessive
fare charges.

4 LIBEL ON A NEW JERSEY REPRESENTATIVE.

tn REPRESENTATIVE PARKER, of New Jersey, probably has
Tx good grounds for a libel suit against Representative Randell
of Texas. Parker is chairman Of the House judiciary COM
mittee, and right in open meeting yesterday Randel boldly charged
that Chairman Parker and the members OF his committee were
receiving gifts, franks, employment and compensation OF great and
necuniary value" from railroads to the extent of disquallfylng them
from having charge Of the bill which prohibits members of Congress
and judges from accepting gifts from railroad and other large cor
porations. OF course, the speaker and the House majority will pro-
tect Chairman Parker and his committee, but cannot recall this
charge, now made public. A suit for libel is in order. But the best
answer would be that of an immediate and favorable report OF the

their elevators? A NEWARKER.

IT 7 would be policy for the railroads in the State to inconunenty
abandon their passenger rate increases and stick to the OLD
rates. The representatives of the railroads should see n un-
wisdom If outraging public sentiment to such a degree as to provoke
q popular uprising. They are shortsighted If they believe the pre-
vailng feeling will die out. 1t won't. They also imagine a vain
thing if they think that they can continue to control legisiauon a
uranton They won't. They have large interests in New Jersey
and their terminal roads in the State are the most important. parts
Of their systems. The State has not relinquished its sovereignty
and it still has control of the highways. 1t has the taxing power OF
tho sovereign and its municipalities have a police power, as well as
the State. The present Legislature, with or without direct power
over rates, could by retaliatory legislation bring the railroads TO
their senses. The process would be quite simple. The Legislature
.loc+ed next fall will assuredly be antiranroad If the rates are In
creased. An incensed public will see to that. The people do not
want to engage in a struggle with the railroads. They have SUD-
mitted to a great amount of injustice In the past for the sake OF
neace But thew will not tamely submit to this wholesale exacton.
Tbev will resist and fight back, and In the end the railroad interests
will lose. 1t would be policy to abandon the rate increases with,
ont more ado. #4rE -

THE LOTTERY MAN.

The opening of the theatrical season
at the Colonial, scheduled for August
70, was put ahead two weeks by the
coming 'of The Lottery Man" one of
last years most successful plays, As
presented in Salt Lake by the Shu-
Derts II is undoubtedly a New York
production, though Cyril Scott and
Helen Lowell, the stars of the original
company, are not in the present cast.
The play is a pleasant farce, founded
on the exceedingly clever cOnceit OF an
impecuniOus young fellow putting him
SELF up as a prize in a lottery. Nine
characters tell the story, the principal
roles being those Of Jack Wright, the
lottery mani Lizzie Roberts a comic
supplement spinster, and Helena Heyer,
the girl in the case. Jack sells his idea

and although its development causes

the end. Lizzie, the spinster wins the
lottery man delightfully."- and refuses
TO relinquish her rights until il is dis
covered that she held the winning
ticket by fraud. Then the expected
pleasant denOuement ensues in time
for an early curtain"
The conditions upon which the lot
terry is held are simple enough. Jack
Is the prize and It is open to the women
OF America, at one dollar per chance.
The 100000 OF proceeds go to the lot

he refuses, the woman gets ii all. If
she refuses, they divide the sum- Liz

audience
William Resell is a young actor, who
is exhibiting a good share of talent in
bis impersOnatiOn of the role of Jack
Wright. 1t demands breeziness and
tempestuOus work. with a fair display
of feeling, of which the little mother
is the recipient. One wonders on see
ing this extraordinary devotion if it
viii not be a case of too much mother
in-laW, though Helena appears willing
to take her chances. The girl, played
by Miss Sadie Harris. is a pretty young
thing in mOdish gowns who gives Just
the right amount of playfulness and
simplicity TO the role. Lizzie, by Viva
ogden. is the impossible sort one feels
cannot exist in real life and a merciful
world. She is a caricature Of femi-
ninity whose ugliness of face is only
exceeded by that of her figure and
voice The hopeless absurdity of tue
impersOnatiOn in the first two acts Is
akin to pathos and only in the last,
when she is more nearly human does
It appear genuinely humorous. The
most vigorous and wholesome woman's
part in the play is done by Florence
