*xc wholesale prices. Retail prices do
not move In perfect E.vmpattrv, and tbe
cost of living will not be at once affecl
od favorably by tli« decline in tbe
»boleaale cost of food products which
bas taken place.
So far as the causes for th*» decline
in price of various commodities can be
analyzed. it appears to be due partly to
stimulation of production. _ but much
more t.i d«x*liu«» of consumption. Thus,
i; is reports! that textile uifimifaetun-rs
have had to mark down prices in order
to "move oat" th" ptnoks of manufact
ured cottons which they have accumu
lated. That Is to s;iy. tbe high prioos
have curtailed consumption. In iron,
on tbo other hand, consumption seems
not to have fallen off. but production
has outprown the market. Thus the
two tendencies which correct hi?h prices
are illustrated. The $12 ho- is not so
popular with the consumer as lie i* wWi
the farmer, and accordingly port and
its products are less used-
In general, the fall In prices which
hss taken place ho generally indicates
that the consumer had adjusted his hab
its to rbe advancinz rates. He* is sub
etirutinjr cheaper articles of con?uoil"
fi<*n for th<» dearer one* he formerly
used, or be i? consuming less. Tbe turn
in prices, at least so far as agricultural
products are concerned, is obviously Ibe
*ffert of curtailed consumption — of econ
omy on the parr, r>f the people —
much .is there has been no opportunity
for tbo hi.crh prices of this year to stimu
late the planting of larper crops. Here
after that factor aiso Is likely to have
its influence in lowering prices.
SENATOR COBB'S "COMPROMISE.*
It. will be time eaoagß to consider
Senator fohh's "compromise" direct
primary bill after a vote has been had
in both' houses of the Legislature on the
RtßOjaß-CSreen bill. The people want (0
know u"'t how some committee stands
upon that measure but how each indi
vidual member of the Legislature stands
upon it They want a vote for future
reference. It will srriide them in forming;
their own opinions of their representa
tives when th* latter come up for re
election next fall.
The "compromise" bill of. Senator Cobb
offers so little that it is probably de
signed rather as a basis for a compro
mise' than as itself a compromise. In
applying, the direct primary system only
to candidates for the Senate and Assem
bly it does not go as far as Mr. Woodruff
and other opponents* of the system early
in the session expressed a willingness to
po. If the Hinman-Green bill cannot
pass there will be no objection t> enact
ins such a law as Senator Cobb proposes.
Rut tie pram from it would probably be
comparatively slight, and as a test of the
Hiumau-Greon system it would not
possess much value. It will be impossible
to interest the people generally in nomi
nations for the Senate and the Assembly.
Therefore direct primaries to nominate
for those offices would give little indica
tion of the effect upon the management
of parties and the making of nominations
which would be produced by attracting
to the primaries the class of voters that
now remain? away from them.
THE DEBT LIMIT BILL.
It is to be hoped that Mayor Gaynor
will see his way to sign the debt limit
bill which has Just passed the Legislat
ure following an emergency message
from the Governor. The bill is a combina
tion of tbe one favored by the Mayor and
the one urged by fiie Citizens Union. It
does not ignore the Board of Estimate
and Apportionment, as the Citizens
Union bill did. but on the other hand it
provides for the final determination by
tbe courts of the bonds which may be
excluded from the city's constitutional
debt as self-sustaining. The bill sup
ported by the Mayor was open to objec
tion on the ground that it left the ex
clusion of self-sustaining bonds at the
mercy of taxpayers' actions and made
it doubtful when money for subway con
struction could be raised under it. To
the bill just passed no such objection can
be raised. Th** place for taxpayers' ac
tions is prescribed, and once the Appel
late Division of the Supreme Court lias
rendered its decision there can be no
further opportunity for delay.
If the Major signs the bill it will
he possible to begin proceedings at once
for the exemption of certain bonds from
the constitutional debt. Subway con
struction In Xow York has waited open
tbe slow process of passing, first, the
constitutional nmrndnjont. Slid then the
bill carrying its provisions into effect.
MARCOXI'S yEW PROMISES.
It was announed a few days ago by
the London press Ihni wireless communi
cation between Clifden. Ireland, and
Glace Bay. Nova Scotia, would shortly
be resumed. Eight or niue months have
elapsed since the last of several inter
ruptions in the service occurred, being
due to a fire which destroyed the Cana
dian station. The opportunity has been
improved. Mr. Marconi Bays, to erect a
new building on a different i-lte !it Glace
Bay and to install better apparatus at
Clifden.
A renewal of operations may well be
postponed until there is a stronger assur
ance of regularity than Las been possible
m the pact. That a few messages Lave
been *«ent from tJiore to shore is hardly
open to question. For umuthh at a time.
also, uews bulletins were sent to hteam
ships daily, firM from one side, of the
ocean and tuon tfom iho other. It Has
iSfji sfjfßoetad, however, that ii was
found necessarj to use vessels at tea as
repeating stations for transatlantic His
patches. That such is the case i.-' not at
all incredible. Mr. Marconi in his pub
lic lectures has remarked on the great
inequality In the case with which ether
waves are transmitted to a distance.

but others evidently have more obscure
muses. While tiM Atlantic fleet whs

REVEXCE 1 V ABUXDAyCE.
At ;be end of the tenth month of the
current fiscal year the federal Treasury
'finds itself in an imexpectedly strong
position. Instead pf facing a deficit on
Jime"3o nest it faces a substantial sur
plus. The receipts for the ten months
have exceeded those for the correspond
ing ten months in WOS-'O9 jjy £50,500.
000. This is an extraordinary sain, duo
i;; large part; to the stimulation of the
import trade' which has occurred since
the passage of the Payrje tariff law.
The duties collected on imports in
creased about $38,000,000; Internal reve
nue receipts increased nearly $18,000,000.
but there was a decrease of more than
55,000,000 in receipts from miscellane
ous sour' On the other hand, ordi
nary expenditures for th*» ten months
hare been atjput $2,000,000 less than
those for the corresponding ten months
of 1906 "0».
The deficit for the ten months Is
$16,700,000. against a deficit in the pre
vious year of $69,236,000. But the
Treasury has paid out since July 1.
1009, 527,000,000 on the Panama Canal
account. No bonds have yet been sold
to make pood this expenditure, to that
the Treasury has really to its credit on
the operations for the year so far about
$10,500,000. The next two months will
probably show surpluses and at the end
of June the corporation tax will be
turned into the Treasury. - Allowing
$30,000,000 for the corporation tax and
the surplus receipts in May and June,
the surplus for the year would be oVer
£'10,000.000. Of course, there remains
the possibility that the Supreme Court
may hold the corporation tax to be in
valid, but even In that, case the Treas
ury will end the year with a surplus of
probably $15,000,001). The lean days fol
lowing the panic of 1907 are now n
memory.
SHORTSIGHTED OPPOSE .
The opposition offered by certain real
estate interests to the bill at Albany
carrying out Mayor Gaynors proposal
to abolish personal property taxation
seems to us short-sighted. The plan is
not, as some one has said at Albany,
one to relieve the rich of the burden of
taxes on their personalty and shift it
to the shoulders of the small real estate
owner. It is doubtful if the abolition of
the personal tax would add to the bur
den on realty. It has been shown that
the tax costs nearly as much to collect
as it yield*. Its existence, moreover. hsa
Involved the city in costly borrowing to
make Tip the deficit between the tax
levy and actual collections.
Furthermore, let every small holder
of real estate who fears that his tax
rate will so up a few points if the tax
ing of personal property is abandoned
ask himself if he does not know of
some widow or other heir of an estate
who has been forced to move out of thli
city and into some other state in order
to escape the personal tax levied be
cause the existence of the property and
the amount of it have been revealed in
the Surrogates 1 court But for the per
sonalty tns those persons would have
remained in New York to swell the
body of tenants: to increase the demand
for real estate, to promote the develop
ment of the undeveloped sections of the
city. A tax x\-bich drives away residents
of the city is of doubtful benefit to tho
real estate interests. :
LORD GLADSTONE 7.V SOUTH
AFRICA.
To the observer appreciative of pict
uresque incidents, striking and unex
pected contrasts and dramatic effects
few announcements of recent years have
been more rich in interest and suggestion
than that Lord Gladstone sailed last
Saturday from Southampton to take his
place as Governor General of South
Africa.
There Is much food for thought in the
simple fact that Mr. Herbert Gladstone
Is now Viscount Gladstone of Lanark in
the peerage of the United . Kingdom.
That change of style is historically ap
propriate, for the lirst of his ancestors
of whom we have record was Herbert de
Gledestan, of the County of Lanark, who
was one of the signers of that "Ragman's
Roll" which acknowledged the sovereign
ty of Edward 1. the English Justinian,
over the Scottish kingdom. Yet there is
also a suggestion of incongruity In the
acceptance of a peerage by the son of
William Ewart Gladstone, the great
Commoner who disdained such nominal
distinctions, and in his entry into the
chamber which hi- father purposed
either "to mend or end."
Equally Impressive, In coutrast, is the
spectacle of the assumption of what is
practically the Viceroyalty of United
South Africa by the son of the statesman
who negotiated the surrender after Ma
juba. Gladstone the Commoner relin
quished authority and sovereignty, at
least in great measure, over the richest
part of South Africa, and probably would
have regarded with satisfaction the en
tire withdrawal of British dominion
from that quarter of. the world. Glad-
Stone the peer goes thither to maintain
renewed and Intensified British sover
eignty over the whole of South Africa.
Between the two policies, In respect to
their wisdom and beneficence, we need
not essay to institute a judgment. The
contrast stands, suggestive and admoni
tory, against hasty verdicts and as
sumptions that any policy Is necessarily
perpetual and impeccable.
GERMAN INDUSTRIAL INSURANCE.
It is not merely a law which Dr. yon
Bethmann-Hollweg proposes for the ful-
Qlment of the great "Work of Peace"
conceived by Count Posadowsky many
years ngo, but really a whole code of
legislation. At the present, time the
state Insurance of the industrial classes
I* divided into three departments and
is provided for by means -of eight sep
arate anil not particularly simple laws.
The Chancellor In the bill which has just
been Introduced proposes considerably
to extend (he scope and the complexity
of the system and to have it all admin
istered finder a single statute. The pro
posed law consists, however, of do fewer
than 1,7"4 clauses, some of them elab
orate j'.nd complicated, sufficient to fill a
good sized volume.
Under the existing system I here is
insurance against Illness, accident and
old age and Infirmity. lie new system,
If adopted, will provide pensions for- the
widows and orphans of workmen, ' and
it will also extend insurance to various
classes of workmen who. hitherto have
been outside the pi ope of the law's
operations Among these are agricultural
and forest workmen^ domestic setranta,
t h. atrtcal employes; clerks. await ■>>-.
teachers, and to pome extent those who
v,orl£ Lii douue-stic eheps or their own,
Tbe benefits of the new law are, how
ever, to be given only to those whose
total incomes do not. exceed fSOfl a year.
For the present, too. it is intended to
errant pensions to only those widows
who «re infirm or incapable of working.
Orphans will receive aid until they are
fifteen years old.
It is. of course, required, as it should
he. that the persons to be insured, or
whose widows and orphans are to be in
sured, shall contribute toward the pen
sion fund, and that their employers shall
equally contribute, while the state is to
contribute about -as much as both the
former classes put together. The new
law will increase by about five millions
the number of potential or actual bene
ficiaries, and will increase the yearly
bounty from all sources for their bene
fit from a little more than $182,500,000
to nearly §215,000.000. It is a stupendous
proposal, which goes very far toward
universal provision. , \
THE POST ROAD BATTLE.
Mention has already b*»en made of the
r.nowcd contest over the old Albany
Post Road. A bill now before the "Legis
lature purposes to remove, restrictions
and thus make it available for the uses
of a trolley line. Against this, earnest
opposition Is made by property owners
and residents along the road, especially
in Yonkers, Hastings, Dobbs Ferry.
Irvington and Tarrytown. who want tb°.
road kept in its present condition. A
hearing on the subject Is to be had be
fore a Senate committee at Albany to
day, fit which it '.n to be hoped the op
position to tb.p bill will be effective and
triumphant
The building of a trolley road on that
thoroughfare would be an act of in
justice to the residents, who have set
tled and spent large sums of money
there on the specific .understanding that
the street was to be kept for nil time
li ce from trolley roads. It would be an
act of vandalism in the mutilation and
destruction of a great number of fine,
shade trees. It would be a detriment and
a menace to traffic, for th? street in hI
rrady frequented by vehicles almost to
the limit of comfort and safety. It
would be a handicap to the towns which
are traversed by the street, since it
would continue the foolish policy of try
ing to confine them to a single north
and south street instead of opening ad
ditional thoroughfares.
The Post Road was never meant for
railroad uses. It is essentially a drive
way and parkway. To give it over to
railroad operation would be a perver
sion similar in character, In folly and In
injustice to the giving up of park space
for building sites. In its present at
tractive condition it is one of the most
valuable assets of the communities
which it traverses. Despoiled for trolley
USes, Its value -would be greatly im
paired. The attempt to gridiron it with
tracks should be opposed and defeated.
The Senate by conferring the unusual
honor of an immediate and unanimous
ronfirmation upon Governor Hughes on
the very day when the Antl-Trurt
League filed Its objections showed how
much It v.as impressed by those objec
tions.
A radical departure In the Boston
charter had its first test when the Mas
sachusetts State Civil Service Commis
sion refused lo approve four of eight
nominations for heads of municipal de
partments made by Mayor Fitzgerald of
Boston. Some of the nominations were
extremely bad. It will be Interesting; to
see what will be the final effect of this
form or state supervision of municipal
government.
The colliery strike In the Cape Breton
district, which has just bffn called off,
is estimated to have cost several million
dollars. It would be Interesting to know
how much profit It realized to offset that
Alabama seems to have tired of Gov
ernor Comer and bis ultra-radical pro-
Kiamme. An anti-Comer state ticket has
lust bees nominated in the Democratic
primary, and the Comer reign of terror
v. Hi pnnn hp abated. "What the courts

General Horatio C. King, of Brooklyn,
secretary of the Society of the Army of
the Potomac, has sent out a circular to sur
vivors of that famous and victorious corps
calling their attention to the fact that this
year's reunion will be held near the battle
field of AJitletam, on September 16 and
IT. "The requests for a meeting: at Antie
tam." says General King:, "have been nu
merous. Its earlier selection was prevented
by lack 6t sufficient accommodations near
by, but it Is believed that Hagerstown can
take care of us, and a- trip to the battle
field will be easy."

WANTS BANKERS TO HELP
Loans on Farms and Estates Would
Reduce Cost of Living, He Says.
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir- With creat interest I have read the
article in last Wednesday's Tribune con
cerning the meeting of railroad men. legis
lators and agriculturists held In the
Produce Exchange. The resolution adopted
to uplift agriculture and to Indace capable
"persons now living: In the cities to go bark
to the farms Is indeed a. very important
one, but in my opinion it could be further
amended so that t»e association should do
all in Its power to Induce capitalists, cor
porations and trust companies to make
mortgage loans to poor "but otherwise good
farmers, enabling them to improve their
farms and double the crops. It is not alone
the education many a farmer in the At
lantic states needs. Thousands of farmers,
especially In the Southern States, own large
farms, hut have either no ambition or no
money to work their land right, and mill
ions of acres of the best land are. lying
idle. The cultivated land could produce
threefold the present crops.
Probably the majority of the city people
are proud of the yearly growth of their
respective cities, not considering that Just
this growth is followed by the Increased
difficulty In getting the necessary food
stuffs. But while this difficulty Is now in
the foreground and rests heavy upon the
city people the capitalists and corporations
still go ahead and Invest their money in
new apartments and flats and Induce peo
ple to stay in the city.
If a large part of this money would be In
vested in farms the questions of Increas
ing agricultural production and cost of liv
ing would solve themselves within a few
years. '
A few weeks ago I advertised for a first
mortgage lean of $35,000 on a very largo
estate (wortli $100,000) only seven miles
from the "White House, "Washington, an'l
also wrote to five mortgage and trust
companies of New York City, hut the re
sult was that I received answers In the
negative, statin* that the companies oper
ated only In >ity real estate.
Of course, there are in many cases proba
bly better chances for quick money making-
In city speculations, but it is still a game
of chance, and with all the money made
this wav the country as a whole will po
backward.
There Is many an Intelligent man who
with proppr financial assistance would
gladly work the soil, but wiio could not
be Induced to go ahead and work probably
day and night for a so-called "hayseed" at
from |.U to £X) a month. If able men of in
fluence would give this matter a fair con
sideration it is my earnest belief that great
changes for the better would be obtained.

"WHERE IS THE DOG CATCHER?"
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: How many more lives must b© sac
rificed, how.' many more houis of anguish
must be passed by parents and friends, be
fore the laws relating to the muzzling and
leashing of Hogs on the streets of New York
are enforced? Where Is the dog catcher,
who Is supposed to take up and impound
all dogs whose owners do not conform to
the law with reference to them.'
Since Great Britain has not only enacted
but enforced such stringent laws in regard
to dogs rabies has become an unknown
disease within her borders. Few people
admire or love dogs more than I do. and
for their pake also I ask this protection.
When a whole pack of valuable hounds has
to b~ sacrificed on account of one vagrant
cur It is time that the owners and lovers
of dogs, as well as . the public at large,
should demand that these latra be en
forced.
If tliose_ women who desire so ardently
the suffrage w^uld use their influence to
see that good and Trie© law? like these after
they are passed should be carried out they
would not only merit but receive th« grrati
tude of their fellow citizens.

NEED OF NORTHFIELD SCHOOLS.
To the Kditor of The Tribuiie.
Sir: I^ast autumn we were able through
the courtesy of the press to give public
ity to th« work don* at the Northfield
schools and its needs. Your co-operation
has been of untold value to us. and we
wish to thank you heartily for It.
This present year with us is one of gray*
anxiety. We have a garden of $35,000 to
raise before v.c close our fiscal year, en
July 31. Thi& Is the last part of an origi
nal effort tc rais* $100,000 for the > ear's
work, and. being the last. Is the most dif
ficult. However, there are friends who
would lift thia burden If they but knew
our needs.
Any help, however small, will be: grate
fully received, and will co far enable us
to carry on the work true to its original
aim of assisting young men and young
women to secure an education winch other
wise would be beyond their means.
