Speculation and Cold Storage.
From the Boston Transcript.
OF course when an abnormal situa-
ton from which the public suffers
exists, those who are suspected of be-
ing responsible for it may be expect
ed to be prepared with some plausible
explanations. These have not been
lacking when justification of the
unprecedented prices of eggs has been
called for. The law of supply and
demand is invoked to account for
them. The hens are moulting and
have been holding up their wares, and
so forth. Everybody knows that
there is an annual period of shortage
in strictly fresh eggs, but the surprise
this year has been that it set in so
early and has lasted SO long. 1t dates
back to August and is gradually in
creasing in acutenesss. The public is
naturally curious to learn the bottom
reasons for conditions that are this
year so extraordinary. We have had
hints of similar situations in former
years, but we have now been suffer-
ing ftom poor eggs and high prices
for a full quarter of year and the
end is not yet in sight.

trust you will allow me enough

For sixteen years 7. Frank Reed has
been at the head Of the fire depart
ment of this city and during his admin
istration the department has grown
from msigniiiCance to one Of the best
in the State. For years while the de-
partmeut has been housed in howell
Mr.. Reed was working to upbuiId his
department and just now when his
hopes have ben realized he is turned
out In the cold and a man who has had
no experience whatever is placed in
charge of this important department.

ity of the present official but is he com.
petent to I'LL his present position?
Now that the fire department Of this
city has been placed on solid basis
It seems to me that the property own.

kept so and place man OF experience

land THEY CARRIED UMBRELLAS.
Many newspaper readers were
charmed to CLEAN the following from
| q Washington dispatch:
Mrs. Wilson and her three daugh-
tiers went shopping theOrain today.
All carried umbrellas"
Aside from the importance OF this
Iitem of news It was welcomed on ac-
count of the fact that It bore reas.
surfing message 10 the world at large
to the effect that Mrs Wilson and her
charming daughters have real good
sense in such matters. They know
enough to carry umbrellas instead OF
nike poles when 1t rains. But some
times the correspondents are singular
lily lax in their presentation OF detail.
The man who. wrote this story did not
exhaust its possibilities by any means
He gave, in fact, very little infOrma-
ton To have satisfied the longing for
1
this sort OF news he should have gone
further and added that Mrs. Wilson
and her three daughters all wore
shoes OH their feet, that they wore
gloves on their hands, that the reason
tthey went shopping was TO buy things
and that the rain was quite damp.
The public has a right to know all of
these things when they are connected
in any way With the first family OF the
land. The public just hungers for that
sort of news. II the president has a
lTOiIel mackerel for breakfast the pub
lie wants to know it. If he takes a
dose Of sulphur tonic the public should
be informed The public clamors for
detail and busy business men through
out the land will never be happy so
long as these reports are incomplete.
The next time Mrs. Wilson and her
daughters go shopping in the rain the
correspondent who sent the last item
based upon a similar event should be
more explicit. The fact that they
carried umbrellas is not enough. The
trubllc should be told what sort OF han
