THE SCARCITY OF ICE.

Even a trust is entitled to its day In
court, and the "Ice Trust" is going TO
have It's day, or possibly several OF
them. But some one or something made
Ice scarce and costly when scores OF
men. women and children were dying IN
this city daily. The poor had to pay two
or three times as much as usual for
their supply and had difficulty In OBJ
tanning any at that price. And 1t Is
reported that in some neighborhoods Ice
was so scarce that as much as 81 was
paid for a 10-cent piece.
This scarcity was not due to lack
Of ice at the bases of the supply. 1t may
not have been due TO design. II may
lave been due to the inadequacy Of a
system Of transportation that was
geared to meet only ordinary demands.
But If 1t can be shown to have been
the result Of design, whether the object

KITCHENER AT CAIRO.

In sending Lord Kitchener to Cairo
the British government shows at once
its recognition Of the gravity Of condi-
tons in Egypt and It's determination TO
deal with them in a vigorous manner.
Sir Eldon Gorst probably did as well as
II was possible for him to do as British
Agent and Consul General under the
two handicaps which he suffered. 1t
was not his fault that he was the sue
cessor OF Lord Cromer, whose power and
prestige had been so great that the
coming of any man as his successor was
bound to seem an anti-climax, nor that
he himself, despite his considerable eX-
perience and encyclopedia knowledge OF
Egyptian affairs, was personally so little
known that agitators and conspirators
were emboldened to make all sorts OF
experiments with him, from the insulting
Of English travellers to the assassina-
ton Of a prime minister.
Englishmen pretty generally feel that
affairs at Cairo are In need Of the
strongest hand as well as the wisest
brain that can be assigned TO control and
direct them. That Lord Kitchener pos
sesses the desired qualifications in an
unsurpassed degree IS nowhere doubted.
The man who marched from the Delta
to the Forks of the Nile TO avenge Cor
don, to stamp out abominable devlltly
and TO transform a savage wilderness
Into civilized and prosperous realm
assuredly knows Egypt and her tribes.
He is confessedly not only one Of Eng
lands two or three greatest living sol
diers. but one Of her most capable ad-
ministrators.
He also has great prestige Not even
the personality Of Lord Cromer was more
commanding than his, and in land
which has known nothing but autOcracy
since the days of the first Pharaoh the
personal note is still imperative in sue
cessful government. A year ago Sir
Edward Grey gave TO those who were
trying through assassination and other
wise to make continued British occupa-
ton Of Egypt impossible plain warning
that the British occupation must and
would he maintained TIE appointment
of Lord Kitchener is an unmistakable
confirmation Of that warning.
