THE AGE OF EGGS.

Il appears from a statement made by
Mr.. Alfred L. Lee, vlce-president Of the
Boston Fruit and Produce Exchange,
that the necessity for enacting cold stor-
age laws could easily have been avoided
if the cold storage men had been alert
enough TO engage in simple campaign
of education. Mr.. Lee testified before
Massachusetts commission investigating
the sale Of cold storage products that a
fresh egg put in cold storage in first
class condition in April would, if taken
out in August, &C a better egg than one
Just collected from the hennery.
IF this be true-and Mr. Lee no doubt
speaks from conviction based on expert
enCe-thc Srievous misunderstanding Of
the storage situation might all have
been cleared away by a little timely ad-
vcrtiSlng. The public has Clamored for
fresh eggs on the Supposition that fresh
eggs were always superior I'm quality
But If a stored egg really outclaSScs the
real article there is no reason why con
sumers should not snap it up with avid
ity, and few educational labels, like
STORED eggs much more desirable than
fresh eggs" would have guided the pub
lie to a souudcr appreciation Of what's
what in eggs aud greatly enhanced the
demand for the retarded product.
Mr.. Lee does not say that the i'm
provemcnt recorded from April to An.
gust would continue from August TO the
following January. Yet those who after
Il fair trial have acknowledged the SUI
pcriority Of the egg stored for four
months might easily be led 10 put Il
higher estimate on the value Of the one
stored for nine months. In that case
The cold storage label would become a
badge OF honor and eggs would cease 20
exhibit their present feminine aversion
10 intercourse with the census takcr. 1T
is even conceivable that the poor fresh
egg dealers might be tempted under the
new dispensatiOn TO try to palm off their
wares as properly aged for consumption.
If only the cold storage men had had
the courage Of the convictions expressed
by Mr. Lee, Then everybody would
have been satisfied The ignorant would
have been allowed to eat the cheaper
fresh eggs and the connoisscurs would
have learned 10 prize the more valuable
aud better seasoned soiourucrs in the
storage warehouses.

NOW TAHlfANT DEGRADES THE
COURTS.

COURTS
The Tammany system of making jill
dicial nominations does not work as
smoothly over in the new Tammany ter
ritory Of Brooklyn and Queens as II
does on this side Of the river. In Man
haitian nothing has ever become public
resembling the trspsactions that pre-
ceded the nomination Of Mr.. Willett for
the Supreme Court in the district ad-
ministered by Deputy Bosses" McCooey
and Cassidy No one has ever been per-
mitted to learn Of a candidates draw
ing a large sum from bank on the day
Of judicial convention and paying over
q good part Of it in stock transaction
to a political boss who subsequently put
him in nomination. Is It customary for
Tammsny 10 demand bills in such deal
irgs? Won't checks do any more than
they used to at the time when Aids
pinched his envelope and said, 1T feels
good?
tt is generally understood that the
Tammany custom is 80 assess judiciary
candidates heavily. Boss Croker testl-
fed before a legislative committee that
in his time $1,000 or 5000 was the
usual contribution" but evidently toe
practice had then fallen into decadeuce,
for he said that the sum paid st an
earlier date was perhaps as much a.
$4,000 or $4,000. What is the price
paid for nominations now. and what arc
the customs with regard TO collecting IT:
Does the candidate usually buy little
stock" from an eDisSaTy Of the ma
chine or does the contribution come
from his law partner or from some
member of his family? "Fingey' Con-
ners Of Buffalo when he was in re-
hellious frame of mind couple Of years
ago. threatened 10 fell what he knew
about Tammany's sale Of iudgcships- It
is time that he had an opportunity to
do so. When the grand juries in Kings
and Queens counties get through with
their inauiries into this little stock
deal preceding Mr. Wilett's nomination
perhaps a working basis will be estab-
lished for a thorough investigation Of
Tammanys traffic in judicial nomina-
tions. \ Republican Assembly could
take the scandal up 70 advantage.
Brooklyn is not slow 10 perceive the
significance Of this stock deal. OBJ
servers are agreed that the Democratic
judiciary ticket, at least, is doomed.
''The Brooklyn Eagle calls upon its
readers TO take no chances" but 10 de
feat Messrs. Callahan and Ketcham, Mr.
Willett's associates on the ticket. The
voters Of Manhattan should also take no
chances but repudiatc the Murphy ticket
here, too. 1t represents the same cor
rupt political system. The Brooklyn IN
cident throws q vivid light on the way
that Tammany degradeS the courts.

A sRoApsIpE FROM THE HEATHER

To tho Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: In reply 10 Mr. Molncux | beg TO
state that the Scotch who settled in Ulster
ard their descendants did not intermarry
among the native Irish OF course. l do
rot mean there were not isolated cases, but
the proof of my statement lies in the fact
trat the Scotch-Irish to-day hold the faith
Of their Scottish progenitors, a thing which
would be impossible had intermarriagc OBJ
tained to any considerable extent
llr. MolincuX is also rather harsh in his
Judgment of the Protestant Irish i'm gem
eral. as all Protestant Irish are not nor
do they claim 10 be, Scotch-Irish. That
comes by blood and not by faith.
Mr. Molincuxs next claim is that the
Scotch were originally Irish. When? As
read history, there was a race known as
the Scots who inhabited Scotland before
the dawn OF the Christian era; and It was
these Same Scots who stemmed the tide
Of Casars conquerlng legion about So
y. G.; and unless I am misinformed there
still remain traces of wall built by tho
Romans az a defence against them. With
ont going further back this would give the
race about seventeen centuries iu Scot
land before the settlement i'm Ulster, Surely
this should bc sufficient 10 establish their
claim to bo Scotch, especially TO man
who wishes 10 class as Irish peopl" whose
ancestors settled in ireland after the year
100. and left IT before the year 1900
Mr. MolineuX's statement that ireland
furnished one hundred soldiers for the
American Revolution to ono Of any other
nation whatever is on a par with his pre-
ylous statement that Ireland had a hun
drcd kings before any modern great ma
tlon had one Nr Moiineux can read with
proft Colonel william II. Powels list OF
officers Of the United States Army, partic-
ul9rly the Revolutionary War and tho War

General OHara was Cornwallis's aid and

General Lincoln, whom General Washing
ton had ordered 20 receive It. It is quite

JHE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND

Attorney General WickcrSham i'm his
argument before the United States Cir
