CUTTING OUT BEEF AND BUTTER

The state of the market Is leading the consumers to combine and to live without meat or butter as means of ,eroducing a better state of things in the market.
 Figures ara given by the national department of agriculture showing that the difference between the whole sale and retail prices of beef varies between seventeen and sixty-eight per cent. Part of this is due to the mum aber of small shops, delivery expenses and so forth. The same report states that the proportion in price between beef on the hoof and dressed beef has not increased and lays the blame good deal on the high price of corn.
 There is no doubt that these extra oSdinary conditions are causing con- sumers without organization to lessen their demand for both. beef and but ter.
 At washington. D. C., an Anti-Food Trust league has been formed. which threatens through combination and branch leagues to carry the boycott against meat, eggs, butter. milk and all other excessively high priced goods to all parts of the country. At Cleve- land 5000 citizens have joined hands for the prohibition of meat-eating for one month; and 5000 citizens of an- other large city have got together to boycott the use of butter for the same length of time to see what effect it will have upon the market. Attention however, is being called to the fact that the very articles of food that best take the place of meat, butter, milk eggs, are those where the in- crease in cost is already most marked.
 While xhera appears to be no direct way to remedy this evil. this food question is certainly worthy the sharp est investigation by the government. If commercial greed has its hand up- on the necessities of life. it should be made to let go. To amass dividends at the expense of needy people is crime

MANHoLEs AND SNOW.

How cittes may most economically and expeditiously dispose of the snow in the streets Is still an unsolved problem. It costs Boston s40,o00 a year to get rid of its snow from the trafTbc streets. Now 1t Is proposed to begin to remove the snow as fast as 1t falls and to get rid of 1t through the agency of the sewers.
 The Boston Transcript says upon this question:
 Any Bostontan who had stood on Beacon street, near Arlington, last Saturday, and had seen nine cart loads Of snow eInptied down one man. hole in ten minutes-this being, it Is sald, the 'record'-must have wondered why all the snow in Boston could not be disposed of as expeditiously.
 -rhe explanation can be given in few words: not all the sewers have either the grade or capacity of the Beacon street sewer, which is five feet in diameter. whereas many of those along the main arteries of travel are only about half as large and have a flatter grade and therefore a more sluggish flow. Though the ternpera- ture Of sewers is seldom lower than 50 degrees, heat cannot be relied upon to melt the snow sufficiently fast to avoid the danger of clogging. Even Tn the Beacon street sewer, none but clean enow is permitted to enter, and only city teams, each under the super vision of an official, are allowed to unload into the three manholes which it seems safe to use"
 Considering the manhole as e means to an end. The Transcript further says that eff the sewers constructed in the future are of adequate capacity and suitable pitch we shall doubtless be able to minimize the expensive problem of snow removal At the present time 1t seems clear that they can be relied upon for little aid"

nAILRoApiNe AT THE SOUTH.


 If the papers of the south fairly represent the railroad service in that section. the railroads are not grossly represented in being referred to as public inconveniences.
 The situation is well expressed in the following incident related in an article headed, Some Reasons Why Railways Are Unpopular" in a recent issue of The Ra'iroad Age-Gazette:
 Our traveller ~t on through train which is sct 1led to run be- tween two large ci' te, . twenty-eight hours In about an hour it was set on a side track Inquiry as to the cause brought the information that a small wreck ahead would probably make it necessary for the train to stand where it was all night. It did not begin to move again for eleven hours. When it did begin to move it also began to lose more time, and when it reached it's destination it was sixteen hours late. The conductor was asked whether his train was often late He replied that it was usually about five hours late The same ques- ton was asked of the dining car con- ductor. He said that the train was usually about seven hours late. Now, what legitimate object can a railway have in persistently printing sched ules which experience has demon strated it's trains cannot make? Pas sengers generally will not complain much about slow trains if slow sched- ules are printed for them, but the printing of fast schedules for slow trains constantly causes trouble. The passenger usually makes reservations on connecting trains, for business or social engagements, with the expecta- ton of reaching destination on sched- ule time. If the train is late, without mighty good reason, every passenger is apt to get off a critic and an enemy of the road"
 The south has never yet fbeen favored with trains that are on time; and this Is a point where it differs from most parts of the country. It is not surprising that the legislatures of those states think they can run the roads better than they are being run; that wouldn't be much of stunt.
