The End of the Mellen Regime.

Mr. NIellen's resignation from the presidency of
the New Haven Railroad is the only ut end' Inc

there can be no doubt that the New Ravens recent

Mr.. Mellen could not wish to remain ut the head
of the New Haven road after what has happened
And no one could wish TO have him there.
In the recent report upon the New Haven by the
Interstate Commerce Commission it was said that
the road needed a rest. A change of management
will mean Il rest-an end of the megalomania oil
monopoly and an opportunity to settle down to be
a railroad and nothing more With such rest the
New Haven will be railroad and mighty good
one, too.

The CohaIan Whitewash.

The Legislature did what the powers which con
troll it expected it to do when it voted last night TO
dismiss the charges against Justice Cohaan. There
were just eight Senators and eighteen Assemblymen
who had the moral courage and personal indepen-
dence to challenge by their votes the unsatisfactory
explanation of his relations with Connolly which
Justice Cohalan offered on the witness stand.
The Legislature which 'vindicated" Stilwell has
now "vindicated' Cohalan But how and when IS
the Legislature itself to be vindcated' for its sub
servience its all too credulous judgment and its all
too open heart? That is the problem which every
Senator and Assemblyman voting aye yesterday will
have to wrestle with when he again offers himself
as a candidate at the polls.
The Tribune is in receipt Of the following letter,
which puts the reasons for the COhalan 'vindca-
ton" with singular force and effect If Mr. Bick-
ford has not got his facts entirely right let Tam
many correct him:

assistant to the Controller who approved the
$4,000 warrant for Cohaan. and Mr.. Phillips was

for Stilwell.

THE CALIFORNIA LAWS
Women Nc More Responsible for
Them than Men. It Is Declared.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: I note I'm the public press refer
onccs 10 Miss Chittcnden's report. | have
not seen Miss Chittcnden's report except
the extracts made I'm tho public press. but
II seems 10 me that Miss Chttendcn and,
indeed, some OF our good suffrage friends
have lost the point when they say that
this legislation and that legislation was
passed by the women
The whole suffrage argument is not
that when suffrage is granted government
VIII be by women, and, indeed. II 1t were
true, the argument would be quite a. alb
surd as IS the condition which We suf-
fragists are trying to and succeeding in
remcdying, namely a government by men
alone. II Miss Chittenden and our other
friends Will stop to consider for mo-
mcut they will realize that the govern
ment AT California Is now Il government

muuity. Men and women i'm California

the vital thing 10 consider. They may
have been initiated by either men or
women, but that they have been finally
voted upon, judged and passed By mca
and women together constituting In Cali

be- better TO say the people Of Cali

chised. have done thus and so, than to
say california women may well be proud
OF the laws that they have passed" be-
cause the women of California without
the men could not in any sense have
passed very many laws.
Those of ms who believe I'm true democ-
racy and the direct rule of the people are
suffragists for two reasons:
1. That we believe the women OF the
country to bc as muci the people as the
men and therefore entitled to a voice In
it's management. and
p Because we desire 10 get the woman's
point OF view as broadening Influence

WHITMAN'S CANDIDACY.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Your correspondents may as
well drop bubbles and definitions and
consider the simple facts.
\ person desiring 10 buy or sell an
odd lot Of an active stock at the New
York Stock Exchange can through a
broker buy any amount under one hun
dred shares at the price at which one
hundred-share lots are offered, and sell
any such odd lot at the price bid for
one hundred-share lots. a person de-
string TO buy or to sell one hundred
shares can do no better.
In active stocks the difference between
the bid and offer is usually but one
eighth of I per cent. II the difference
is wider, the odd lot buyer or seller still
stands on the same ground as the hun
drcd-share lot man. II the trade is TO be
made Immediately Generally If the bid
and offer are wide apart the odd lot
customer prefers To wait until a re-
ported sale shows Just what the market
Is. That is. he speculates. taking the
risk Of losing his chance To buy or sell
at the present quotations. because hop
ing 60 trade at an intermediate figure.
and he says TO his broker. Wait for a
sale"
For example, the market being dull
and limited, 44ss is bid for one hundred
and one hundred are offered at 447s.
The customer may trade at once in one
hundred shares or I'm any odd lot at
those figures. or. II he waits for a
sale" and a one ,hundredshares sale
takes place at iiSs, the odd lot custom
er will sell at 44ls or buy at iiA ..
though the bid and offer for hundreds
after the sale may be 4ih TO as.
In such a case the odd lot customer has
the advantage of the hundredshare GUS
toner. and il so happens constantly
and frequently. For. II the hundred
share customer waits for sale" he
risks much more than the odd-lotter, for
in such dull market as is supposed.
he. after the sale has taken place, finds
the quotation much wider and is unable
to buy or to sell anywhere near the
sale price, while the odd-lotter has been
able to make his trade within one-eighth
of the sale without regard to the subse-
qucnt quotation.
The odd lot customer is under but one
disadvantage; he cannot through his
broker make bids and offers TO affect
the quotation as the hundred share GUS
toner can. II this be a disadvantage,
it IL so slight as TO be entirely unim-
portant, practically.
