Trotter and PAGER.

The quality of the present day
trotting horse will be determined this
week at Hartford, Connecticut, when
the champion, Peter Manning, with
a record OF two minutes, meets the
redoubtable Single G, 1859, in a
special race, which will be the fea
ture OF the programme Tuesday at
the historic Charter Oak Park.
In the early days Of harness racing
there was a prejudice against match
ing trotters and PAGERS, owing to the
belief that the diagonal gated
horse was at disadvantage. In
The middle '90s MONROE SALISBURY
brought from California black stall
ion named Directum, which hung UP
record of 2.05A and defeated every
thing in ibis class. SALISBURY chal
lenged JOHN TURNER of Philadelphia
to race the PAGER Saladin, whose
record was also 2:05A. The chal'
lenge was accepted and Directum
won, and subsequently defeated an.
other great PAGER Of the period in
Mascot, 2:O4.
Those were the days when trotters
were largely made and did not pos.
sess the natural speed which is a
characteristic of some of the pres
ont day families. Peter Manning is
scion of one of these, his sire being
Azof, 2.1414, by Peter the Great. The
dam OF Peter Manning is grand
daughter of Wilkes Boy, a horse
noted for the gameness of his prog
eny. The trotter is thus fortified by
the stoutest blood for the coming
struggle contest which should at
tract the attention OF horsemen all
over the country.
Single G is the marvel Of the har-
ness racing world because after eight
years of steady campaigning he is
better than at any previous time in
his career. He has not lost race
this season. He will bring to to-
morrow's contest maturity of rae
ing experience which his five-year-
old competitor cannot be expected to
possess. Single G has been pro-
nounced by experts the model OF his
kind. He saves himself at the score,
can go to the front or come from
behind, and has repeatedly paced a
quarter in 271a seconds.
Great as Peter Manning has shown
himself, the experts look for Single
G to win. The PAGER is not bred as
we'll as the trotter. BY a son OF
Onward, the sire of many game race
horses, his female line is obscure.
However, handsome is as handsome
does, and il Single G's remote fe-
male line is beclouded he is living
proof Of the theory that great horses,
like g.eat men, come unbidden and
from unexpected sources.

Our Manganese Supply.
Should II Be Conserved by Admitting
Foreign Ore Free?

To THE new YORK HERALD: In de-
fence OF the proposed duties on mangan-
ese ore and ferro manganese, as sched-
u.ed IN the Fordney tariff bill, now be-
fore the Senate Finance Committee, two
gentlemen representing Western mining
interests recently testified at Washing
ton that their mines would have to close
unless import duties were levied on their
product.
In the name of the Panama Canal
when has America lost her cunning in
digging? Since when havo the steel
fingers and long arms of the Mesabi
ore diggers yielded in Drawn and ton
mage to our brother with a hoe across
the seas? Mere digging is no longer
an infant industry In this country. 1t
has grown to robust and combative man
hood. If such protection is necessary
let US have the full facts. What these
gentlemen want and all who urge a
high protective tariff on such ores and
alloys, Is security and profit for them
selves while exhausting a vital national
possession already limited In commercial
quantity and quality, which by all
means should be conserved for the coun-
try's defence should such an occasion
unhapplly again face us.
1t has been estimated that the entire
manganese ore deposits of the United
States would be consumed In seven or
eight years at pre-war normal rate or
consumption. without manganese our
steel mills cannot produce; without steel
no nation can be independent. In the
matter Of raw or even semi-finished ma
ttrials there should be no barriers, how
ever slight, to interfere with their pass-
ing freely from port to port Only
through the exchange OF the excess
products OF Providence or perspiration
can the nations of the world prosper.
This Is the lesson we are now painfully
learning.
Further testimony Is also interesting;

because that supply was suddenly and
without redress cut off by the war the

Mullett Must Go!

The forces making for the removal
of the Mullett monstrosity and the
restoration to the breathing citizens
of New York OF many hundreds OF
thousands Of cubic yards of free at
mosphere are now converging on the
postal authorities of the United
States.
Major-General HENRY COLLINS
Brown, the commander in chief Of
the grand army Of common sense and
public interest in the campaign for
the expulsion of Mallett, had a con-
ference on Saturday with the Post
master-General. While Mr.. HAYS
naturally refrained from committing
himself officially on the subject he
left no doubt, as we infer, Of his full
recognition of the merits Of New
York's desires and demands.
The cooperation OF the chief ex-
ecutiye OF the postal service in the
matter OF finding a suitable site as
an alternative to the erection of a
new squatter Federal building in the
City Hall Park, perpetuating the out
rage OF Mullett's presence there,
would be a most valuable factor in
the movement for redemption. THE
New YORK HERALD hopes it can be
counted on.
The first thing is to get rid OF the
idea cherished by some members Of
the Congressional Postal Commits
sion that the solution of the problem
is found in plans to patch up Null
lett and modernize him and let him
stay squatter to the eternal detri-
ment of our civic interests.
The next thing is to acquire site
where the downtown postal business
can be carried on without damage to
the service; and here cordial con-
currence of effort between the citi-
zens' committee, the New York Con-
gressmen and the discerning and en-
ergetic Postmaster-General would be
Of the highest value.
The next thing Of course is to
tear Mullett down, from squatty and
squatter dome to intruding founda-
tion stone. The people of New York
do not care much at which end of
the ungainly structure the work Of
demolition shall begin.
No squatter sovereignty in the City
Hall Park! Mullett must go!

Increasing Proximity.

An authority on transportation
who bases his calculations upon data
of the assembling of armies by the
European nations in 1914 for the
great war declares that "any man
was In terms OF time eleven times
nearer to any given point I'm the
world" in that year than he was in
1914. Sufficiently startling informa-
tion in itself, but when speculation
grapples with probable continuance
Of this development it may well
falter. The complications involved
in increasing proximity are likely to
shake or even rend the social struc-
ture If they find us unprepared.
Consider, for example, the problems
of New York city alone. IL its in
habitantS are on the way to be
brought several times nearer than
they are now to any given point in
the metropolis the stoutest hearted
must be appalled,. The proximities
Of lower Broadway, Of Park Row and
Of Fourteenth, Twenty-third, Thirty
fourth and Forty-second streets at
their functions with Broadway and
the great avenues are even now to a
casual observer incapable of any con-
siderable increase, while as for the
transportation systems. in the rush
hours we dare maintain that on them
nearness, as such. has already at
tanned its peak of development; its
nth power; its saturation point
Experienced travellers would con-
fidently enter the platform men OF the
subway express stations for any COM
petition of world experts in the sci
ence and practice Of proximity. The
salmon and tuna fish packers of our
great Northwest and Pacific coast
and the sardine Gamers of Norway
might qualify as runners up in such
a tournament, but would have to be
content with that.
II Is earnestly to be hoped that the
international armament conference
summoned for next November will
give due weight and consideration
to this argument from increasing
propinquity. 1t was not long ago
that vigorous measures had to be
adopted to prevent ladies from al
lowing their hatpins to protrude
sharp points beyond the brims and
crowns OF their hats SO as to i'm
peril the eyes and faces OF fellow
passengers standing near or thrust
against them in very crowded cars.
Serious injuries were indeed wrought
by this dangerous carelessness be-
fore action was taken to curb It.
But the beneficial shortening of
range of these menacing weapons Is
cimply decrease OF armament on a
small scale. If men and nations
were steadily but inevitably brought
eleven times nearer to any given
point in the world from 1914 to 1914,
and anything like the same increase
Of proximity is being maintained on
our present course through the hun
dred years that will end in 20f4, ther
either the bristling threat OF ever
huger guns and sharper weapons
will have to be controlled or the
ever more closely grouped nations
will almost literally have their eyes
put out and their hopes Of stable
peace torn to shreds.

Bright, White Venus.
A ornamental Pearl In a Setting

To THE NEW York HERALD: The
brightest and most beautiful OF planets
is yenus-white Venus. At the lneent
time the other planets are not tce-
able, excepting ruddy Mars. Whit les
around half past 4 in the morning y-
light saving time. White Venusfse
about an hour and half earlier than
ruddy Mars, and she shines brightly
amid the eastern sky until the over
whelming splendor of the rising sun
iides her from our sight.
Bright and beautiful Venus is not
only remarkable fundamentally but also
statistically. She approaches nearer to
cur earth than any other OF the seven
planets-some twenty-six millions OF
n.iles-although at such a time she is
invisible. being hen between our world
and the Illuminating sun. Moreover.
her year is little less than two-thirds
as long as our year, and she speeds
around her solar orbit about three and
one-half miles faster than our earth
upon its orbit that Is. Venus Is revolv-
ing around the sun at an average veloc-
ity approximating twenty-five miles a
second. AS we well know. Venus and our
world are often called the twin planets.
and this is an accurate designation.
although Venus possesses only about
nine-tenths OF our earth's volume.
Recently white Venus shone in the
morning sky, brightly and weirdly, near
the crescent moon. 1t was well worth
the effort TO awaken to behold 1t. How
ever, without the crescent moon the
Planet Venus shines spectacularly just
before the first peep Of dawn. like a
