which to live even decently. He mao

RETE TRTNT1 INDICTMENTS.

The decision Of New jersey grand
Jury 90 bring an Indictment against all
fhe directors OF the National Packing
Company except one indicates that there
j a good deal of substance in the
charges that there has been all illegal
manipulation of the meat market The
explanation has been made by officers
az the chief corcerns in the packing
business that prices have risen solely
it-cansequence Of increased demand and
shortage in supply, but the public has
been for some time suspicious that with
the control Of 4 very large portion Of
the meat market secured 10 small
1UInber Of concerns, and simultaneous
control Of the refrigerating establish
ments being exercised by those con
Germs the law Of supply and demand
has Itself frequently been put in cold
storage.
II is clear that if a combination e1-
lists able TO increase or decrease ship

frigeraied supplies to meet any extra
demand for foods caused by the diminu
ton of delivery, il would be within the
power of that combination 10 force
prices up artiticially 10 the consumer
and a. the same time keep them down 10
the producer. Perhaps the public judg
ment that, given an opportunity TO eX-
tort excessive prices, a combination
formed along the lines Of most Of our
great manufacturing and shipping trusts
would not Hesitate 10 take an inviting
profit may not be justified in the case
of the particular concern which will now
have TO defend Itself in the New Jersey
courts But the country will welcome d
trial which will either exonerate the de-
PENDANTS or disclose methods by which
the meat market has been cornered and
high prices have been taken from the

UTILITY OF COLD STORAGE.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The cold storage industry has lately
been a byword on the lips Of the consumer
accompanied by a shade of doubt and hor-
ror on the part of those who do not Under
stand it's function. There are two major
questions at present unsolved in the pubic
mind Does cold storage aid and abet the
raising of prices of food products: and, Is
it desirable that food products be stored
at all?
Practically all food products at certain
times of the year are actually a gut on
the market In the earlier days the farmer
raised them only for seasonable demand
and any excess beyond the public needs
srotted and went to waste. Now, through
the medium of the cold storage industry,
the farmer, cattieman and fisherman may
produce at the season more than the pubic
requires and place 1t at the disposal OF the
people throughout the unproductive periods.
During the unproductive periods, when
only A small proportion of the demand can
be supplied by fresh material. 1t Is the
market price of the fresh product which
makes the daily standard of price, and
were it not for the surplus in storage act
ing as a great leveller the consumer would
see prices soar almost beyond his reach
fed to wait until the apples ripen on the
trees or the strawberries blush on the vines,
but want them all the year round. Through
the aid of the hothouses and the cold stor-
age vaults hardly any kind of fruit, berry,
fish. flesh or fowl is denied to the people
throughout the year.
There is, however, in the public mind a
sentiment against the storage of foodstuffs.
s'Oh. it's been stored. is the cry. Its
dry and tasteless." Now, nobody claims
that q fowl that has been some time In
storage is as tender and juicy as it would
have been il eaten fresh In the best sea-
son. but IL is a well esta ablislled fact that a
good fowl killed at the best season and
stored three months is better than any
fowl killed at the end of that time is likely
10 he even If eaten fresh. Furthermore,
there is nothing in itself deleterious in the
storing of foods.
The cold storage warehouses, in fact, are
useful servants of the public. They in
crease many times over the supply of food
available for the public needs. They make
possible a much more varied range of die
through the winter months than could be
had without them.
The cold storage warehouses are open al
all times to inspection. and the inspection
by city, state and federal officers Is con
slant and Is welcomed by the companies.

"PRo'S" REPLY TO "ANTl."
he Editor of The Tribune

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: AS you have given space in your
valuable paper to two letters within the last
two days from women who seem proud 10
call themselves "antis," I venture TO make
my feeble protest on the other side 1 feel I
must say a word for the wage earners.
If your correspondents, Mrs Paul Wright
and H B. NJ, were taken from their COM
Portable homes. had not good men, to
care for them and were not paid even living
wages, would they not take a different view
of the present question? We, who have the
loving care of husbands and comfortable
homes are the ones who should give time
and means to the cause.
In all great reforms the pioneers have
been subjected to severe criticism and CEN
sure. In the early days when women were
first struggling for their rights such noble
women as Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady
Stanton and our own Julia Ward Howe were
assaied by men and women who opposed
the movement. But to-day hundreds of
women are reaping the benefit of that cam
paign in the various professions and trades
that have been opened to their sex.
1t seems incredible to me that any woman
should oppose the idea of the ballot
Every man should take off his hat 10
to teach her sister how she may gain inoe-
pendence and who gives her strength and
time without thought Of emolument.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
THE BELEAGUERED MADRiZ.

To the, Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: At the present moment q most un-
fortunate condition of affairs exists in
Nicaragua, Central America. There Presi-
dent Madriz elected by the national Con-
yress is trying his utmost to put down
double-headed revolution bequcathed to his
government by the Zelaya regime, which
left the country in a ruined condition.
Notwithstanding all this. American citi-
zeus are now in the ranks of the revolu-
ton, fighting against a legitimate Central
American government at peace with the
United States. There are also rumorS that
shiploads of arms, cannon and munitions Of
war have been sent freely from American
ports to help those who are fighting the
Nicaraguan government.
To complicate matters still more. num-
her of Americans at Matagalpa formed, ac-
cording to the press dispatches a company
To ioin the revolutonists against the gov
ernment of Nicaragua.
Americans protest that their workmen are
taken from the plantations, but they forget
that all Nicaraguans must serve their coun-
try in the ranks in time of war. But TINS
;s not pecular to Nicaragua; every country
has the same law. Cannot the powerful
American press say something IN favor OF
Justice to Nicaragua?

SETTLED AT LAST.

The people and the street railways Of
Cleveland have become tired Of fighting.
The people following. until recently,
Tom johnson were for a 3-cent fare
The street railways declared seven tick
cts for quarter 10 be the best they
could do. The two parties to the contrO-
verSy have compromised y the basis
Of giving the 3-cent fare a trial and
going then TO the seven tickets for %
cents if the Scent fare proves i'm
practicable. The Scent fare has al
ready received one trial under what
was virtually the management of Mayor
johnson himself and failed. There is
not much hope Of its success this time.
The higher rate, seven tickets for Il
quarter, will probably pay in Cleveland,
for the street railway com anieS, which
should certainly know what financial
returns are 10 be expected from the rate,
have for several years been ready 10
accept it.
The low fare experiment has no par
ticular interest TO any other city except
these where conditions are precisely
similar 10 those of Cleveland Seven
tickets for 4 quarter may prove prac-
ticable there with the overhead trolley
without throwing any light upon the
right fare in New York. with its under
ground trolley. But the really interest
ing experiment that Cleveland promised
at one time to make the countr~ is not
going to have the opportunity TO watch.
We refer 10 Tom Johnson's plan Of hay
ing the traction lines operated by an un-
selfish corporation, forswearing profits
and dedicated solely 10 the public i'll

model traction system managed upon
about the same principle and with much
the same i-philanthropic purpose as

4 LONG WHILE AGO.

Mayor Gaynor seems to have no re-
gard for the sense of historical con-
tinuity. He keeps doing things which
make the average citizen wonder how
long age it was that the Mcclellan ad-
ministration passed out of existence. In
the good old days OF that inert and
placid order aqueduct commissioners
were never disturbed i'll their agreeable
task Of attaching their names TO city
payroll. "The best Water Register New
York ever had" LET the cobwebs gather
on his desk and office chair without any
cne in or near the City Hall realizing
that he was not giving the municipality
a service many times the, value of his
salary
But the new Mayor has changed all
that He has even been SO revolutionary
as to undertake TO limit the expensive
activities of hitherto privileged function
aries engaged in condemning land for
the new Catskill waterworks at from
two to ten times its value for other pur-
poses. Under the former administration,
when there was talk of the excessive
cost of land condemnations the city au-
thUrities merely passed the responsibility
along to the courts, alleging that the
process Of condemnation was regulated
hv state law and directed through the
judiciary. and that so far as the city
treasury was concerned it merely had
10 pay costs fixed outside its own juris-
diction When the new aqueduct scheme
was launched by the Mcclellan admin
istration probably not the least agree
able feature of the enterprise was the
certainty that incidentally Il large num-
Der of friends of the administration
could be taken care of through the
benevolent operation of the condemna-
ton machinery.
Mayor GaynOr sees no beneyolence III
the high-cost operation of that mechan-
ism He has directed the Corporation
Counsel to reduce to the barest mini
mum the clerical allowances for condem-
nation commissions. and has ordered the
dismissal of hundreds of persons whose
employment in the Catskill region has
been dictated by personal and political
rather than public necessities. Mr.. Gay
nor says:
1t is regrettable to have to discharge
so many people, but, on the other hand,
it is criminal offence to pad city pay
rolls or employ unnecessary persons. A
large number of those to be discharged.
if not all of them, were not employed
for the good of the city. but apparently
for reasons Of state politics.
1t is a novel and almost disconcerting
idea to those who followed the placid
course Of the Mcclellan administration
10 be informed that Il city payroll is no
haven of rest for politicians and the
friends and agents Of politicians. One
more solace of life has been cut off, one
more eleemosynary institution closed in
the faces of the worthy. 1t is a long
time since January /, 1910.

OPENING THE DELAWARE.

The approval by the federal Guthori-
ties of plans for the opening of the
Delaware River to navigable depth of
twelve feet as far as Trenton is an inn
portant step i'll the development of an
adequate system of coastal and inland
waterways To develop deep water
navigation far inland will be q more
formidable task. though it will be ac-
complished III due time. But certainly
there should be no hesitation i'll utilizing
as seapOrts important centres of i'll
dustry which are situated upon consider
able streams within Il few dozen or
score miles of the ocean.
In such development Of commercial
facilities We are far behind other lands.
In England the city of Manchester has
found il greatly profitable TO spend $50
600, 600 in making itself, thirty-five miles
inland, Il port for ocean liners, and now
it is purposed to extend waterway facil1-
ties TO Birmingham, Nottingham, LelceS-
ter and other Midland towns by con
Structng a great st. Georges Cross Of
deep canals across the kingdom, from
the Thames to the Mersey and from the
port of Duisburg, Il hundred miles up
the Rhine. is a great commercial centre,
while Cologne, a hundred and fifty miles
up, is the home port of dozens of ocean
steamships plying thence TO Baltic,
North Sea and Atlantic ports. Albany is
the same distance up what we call the
American Rhine,'' but we do not hear
Of ocean steamships docking there
The idea that there is rivalry or in
compatibility between WATERWAYS and
railroads is also to be flung into limbo
In Germany, wherever railroads and
canals or canaliZed rivers exist side by
side the traffic of both is RAPIDLY in
creasing. Instead of ruinous competi-
ton, there is mutually profitable COOP
Grafton. Statistics of traffic on some
American streams and railroads show
the same results, as notably on the
Great Kanawha River and the railroads
which parallel it. The rule holds good
in such cases just as it does in our city
transportation lines, that increase of
facilities Increases Use of them.
This opening Of the Delaware to Tren-
ton for coastal If not for transatlantic
commerce will be valuable thing for
all the clustered centres of industry
along that stream. 1t should suggest
and irresistibly promote the further en-
terprise of rescuing from It's present
neglect and disuse the canal which con
meets the Delaware with New York Bay
and Of making it a deep highway Of

CHEAP TELETR1PHY.

One Of the American telegraph com
panies announces the intention of ini-
tiating al extension Of its night rate
service. Under the old plan dispatches
which were TO he sent at the reduced
rate had TO be filed before . o'clock in
the evening. 1t is now proposed to eX-
tend the time 10 midnight. Moreover,
by making the minimum day rate for n
fiftyword night message TO be delivered
at the terminal station by mail it is
thought that a somewhat different class
OF patronage may be secured. Perhaps
the messages will serve the purpose of
business letters. As an earlier delivery
for these kilograms can be secured than
is possible for communications intrusted
entirely 10 the mail, the senders Will
doubtless be willing to pay more for the
service than for postage.
The night rate system is an old one.
but it may not yet have reached the
