As to the Price of Eggs.

Milder weather and the clearing of
the waters of the Lower Potomac of ice
has had some effect upon the cost of
living in Washington This is most
noticeable in the price of eggs. While
the cold days were holding lower Vir-
ginia and the tributaries of the Po-
tomac i'll the frost kings grip, eggs,
butter, and other farm products ac-
cumulated in the hands of farmers and
At country stores. At the first clearing
OF the ice these accumulations of food
products rushed to market, and the
commission houses had abundant sup
ply. Prices began to drop, eggs fall
ing to 70 cents at wholesale.
1t has been possible within the last
two or three days to obtain supplies OF
eggs at a more reasonable cost. In
doubtedly prices will go lower. for as
yet only the first shipments of produce
have come to market. Some of the
smaller streams are not yet free OF ice,
and the accumulations of these prod
utts will continue to food the commits
sion houses here for several days longer.
Then with the coming Of spring perms-
nent relief will be in sight. and va
rieties of food should be obtainable at
lower prices.
This is an encouraging outlook to
householders in Washington, who have
borne heavy burden through the win

Bryce Praises Washington.

James Bryce. Ambassador from Great
Britain, in his short address to the
Board of Trade, expressed some views
on the development of Washington as
the Capital of the Nation of more than
ordinary wisdom and significance Mr..
Bryce spoke in complimentary terms Of
the city as it is. He said he considered
it in many respects the most remark
able city in the world, and he urged
that residents, Congress, and the people
of the country unite in the work of
bcautifying Washington until, wIRn it
has the age of some of the worlds cap
itals, it will outshine them all
Mr.. Bryce spoke OF the unfortunate
circumstances which have injected par
simonious economy into appropriations
for the city's expenses. and intimatcd
broadly that when some men can for
get their home town for the moment
and work for the betterment of the
Capital along liberal and wise lines,
Washington viii start right in the
way OF its future Development
The Ambassador pointed out some
mistakes that have been made in the
way of marring the beauty of the city.
and suggested immediate rectifcation if
the Capital Is not to be permanently in
jured with reference to its large future
growth. Mr.. Bryce spoke specifically OF
the construction of fine driveway to
Mount Vernon. the building of hand
some avenue connecting Potomac and
Rock Creek parks, the improvement of
roads leading out into the country and
the development OF system of cross
roads within the District lines. or just
beyond. connecting these roads, so as
TO make a skirting of the city by the
automobile a delightful possibility.
BY implication, as well as spoken
word. Ambassador Bryce entered a plea
for consideration OF the Capitals well
fare beyond the terms OF the usual ap-
preparation bill. and the adoption of
extensive plans which can be worked
out gradually in detail for the larger
and more brilliant development which
awaits Washington during the century
that has Just begun

to seize or hold the city. for the men,
after robbing houses and satisfying their
temporary excitement appear to have
left the city for their caplps, and some
sort Of quiet followed. Foreigners were
not attacked, and their danger lay chief
ly in flying bullets and the surging Of
crowds of soldiers through the streets.
The stability of the new Presidents
rule is in danger if it depends upon the
caprice of only half-loyal army, that
may desert the standard without warn
ing, angered by the lack of pay or
tempted by the lure of robbery. Un-
less Yuan Shih Kai and his counselors
can Immediately suppress the revolt,
punish the leaders, and bring the SOL
diery of the new republic into a more
tractable and loyal spirit, the republic

Resources of Washington Banks.

The showing made by the last state
ments of the national banks, trust conf
panies, and savings banks. in the Dis
trict of Columbia is one which demon
strates the splendid financial condition
of this community.
These institutions have total re-
sources aggregating over $Iooyooo,ooo,
of which S5o,ooo,ooo is to be credited to
the national banks These figures show
a gratifying increase since December 5,
the date of the last bank call, and give
assurance that our financial concerns are
keeping step with the development of
the city.
There is 10 city in the country where
the banks are as wisely managed as in
Washington. and the confidence reposed
in them by the community is well de-
served.

.MAn AND EXPRESS COST.
Intere.tins compari.on. susxe-tea
for the Postmaster General.

tombarisonr 5uk&eStcu
for the Postmaster General.
From the Pittsberg Dasyafeh.
7 A very interesting branch OF the sub
ject with regard to the rate charged on
second-class postal matter Is presented
by comparing that rate with the average
on express traffic. Express matter is
very like second class postal matter in
many respects. It Is carried In special
cars constructed for the purpose. and
where the traffic Is large mail and ex-
press" trains carry the two classes. The
vast majority OF each is delivered to the
consignee.
Divtding the gross income Of the ex-
press companies by the number Of tons
carried. we find there is an average reve-
nue. TO the companies OF S31.2O per ton.
or very slightly over IL cents per
pound. The 5s5ikc which the postal COM
mission fixes as the cost to the govern
ment of second-class mail matter Is.
therefore. more than three times the
average charge on express matter. But
this ignores what II costs the express
companies TO carry their traffic. Their
large profits make 1t clear that the aver
age cost is far below the average
charge. One. statement y that the cost
is M per cent of the charges. or ss.5s
per ton, which We consider improbably
low. But II is reasonably certain that
three-fourths Of per cent per pound, or
probably so per ton. Is a liberal estimate
OF the average cost TO 1t OF carrying its
traffic.
Why cannot the post-office carry its
matter as economically as the express
companies do? The answer to that Is the
one most killing comment on the propo-
sition for government-owned and oper-
ated public utilities. 1t is a common say
ing that II an ordinary enterprise were
conducted as the post-ofi1ce is IL would
make a very quick run to the bankruptcy
courts. We have little doubt, for in
stance. that the government pays to the
railroads much higher rates for the car
riage of the mails than the express COM
panIes do for the carriage of their mat
ter. The expert assertion is that the cost
to the government Is about ten times
reasonable estimate OF the cost TO ex-
press companies.
The matter is worth looking into for
its bearing on several questions. II sug-
gests that one solution of the second
class rate question would be to get the
matter carried at reasonable charges.
and its bearing on government railroads
and government express companies Is de-
cidedly Interesting.

The Police and Fire Pensions.

1t is sincerely to be hoped that the
House District Committee will be able,
in the immediate future. to secure ac-
ton upon the bill which remedies the
existing depIerable conditions relative
to the pensions for policemen and fire.
men.
These pensions are not eNtravagant.
but even the modest sums which have
been allowed to men who earned re-
tirement with pay and to widows and
children of men whose death occurred
in the line of duty cannot be paid be-
cause the revenues provided by law are
totally inadequate
The merit of the case is self-evident.
Each days delay in enacting remedial
however. adds to the distress
which is now being experienced. The
situation is one which appeals to every
sentiment OF humanity and justice.

CLARET AT S35 A BOTTLE.
One of the Features of plain
American Dinner


American Dinner
From the New York Herald.
One of the most uncommon dinners Of
the winter was served in a banquet room
OF the Hotel Knickerbocker last night. It
was for Mr.. Daniel G. Reid, and the host
was Mr.. Alfred J. Johnson. 1t was a
plain American dinner for a few loyal
American citizens, but the American tur-
key had a gorgeous following of rare
wines and the homely apple dumping
was almost hidden in a superb decoration
of orchids.
Not man was superstitious, for thir-
teen men sat at the elaborate board.
Each wore a gardenia which he had
found at his plate, and the plate was
no mean stuff. II was the gold service
OF the KnickerbockeT.
While oysters, vegetable soup, saddle
of lamb. turkey, cranberry sauce. celery,
and apple dumping formed the menu,
there were wines ranging from Sl2 to
$S5 a quart. There was sherry, bottled
in 1870. from Sandringham Palace, wine
once the property of the late King Ed
ward VII. Next came rhine wine of
1904, called Oestricher Eiserweg Feinste

DEMOCRATIC OPPORTUNITY.

TO Give Victory to the Party.
From the Atlanta Constitution.
More vividly than. in many years the
present situation in American politics
appeals to the imagination OF the practi-
cal citizen and Of the student of evolu-
tion In our governmental ideals and
standards. A former President OF the
United States. among the most pic
turesque and powerful personalities turn

pleteness that hardly has been approach
ed since the civil war. Republicanism
was once synonym for cohesiveness,
for matchless discipline that opposed a
solid front to the enemy after the nomi-
mating convention had spoken its final
verdict.
These qualities. 50 far as the most
astute politician may see. are in hope
less eclipse. There were those wise ones
who dreamed that the gap between in
.surgent and standpatter could be closed
after the wedding out process of the cleo
tions Of 1910. No such delusion can per-
Slst III lne idCe OF SUBSEQUENT ueNeiOp-
ments. These two wings OF a once
mighty political organization are as far
apart, to-day. as the poles The faction
headed by President Taft appears to
have burned its bridges. The faction
breathing threatenings and slaughter in
the name OF Roosevelt long ago took
that conclusive step. At no time has
its position been in fog. The one thing
the two rival camps seem 20 have in
common Is their obstinacy, their deter
mination TO sink or swim by their colors,
needless as TO whether or not they take
the party down with them.
1t Is the very capitalization of oppor-
tunity for the Democratic party. Not
in its dreariest days OF disruption has
that party presented the tattered and
irreconcilable aspect the Republicans to-
day show to the country. II ever Provi-

arr so big that they will have to
