ANOTHER TROLLEY-CAR COLLISION. ‘There is to be another trolley-car col- Ision In Prooklyn to-day, frora which tt ts to be hoped that the trol! / car will come out less victorious than usual The State Board of Railroad Commis- sionera is to begin an investigation of the reckless manner in which the cars are run, and the consequent loss of life. It {e the first time that the trolley-car evil has collided with official authority in this State. It Is a pity that in a civilized commu- nity such an Investigation should be nec- essary, but it 1s doubtful if the Investi- gation will accomplish any reform The remedy for trolley-car slaughter Hes in another direction, and is easily applicable now that the $5.00 limitation on legal damages for loss of life is abol- 8 are the property of the citizens who use them. The right of way in them belongs first to the pedes- trian. ‘The right to cross them at proper places and to une his own discretion as to time and speed in #0 doing is the legal privilege of the citizen on foot. ‘The right of the trolley car to use the street is subject to the prior lien of the citizen on foot. It is the business of the trolley car to look out for the pedes- trian, not of the pedestrian to look out for tho car. Trolley company lawyers will dispute this assertion, but it is true, neverthe- loss, It ts @ truth, however, that sadly needs vindication in these latter days when corporations have forgotten that they are creatures and servants of the people and not the peopte’s masters. The best vindication that it can have is a series of heavy verdicts in favor of victims of the trolley cars. It Is the duty of every one who Is injured by a trolley car and of the relatives of those who are killed to sue the company, and it is the duty of every citizen who goes into the jury box on such a case to do so with the idea that, if the plaintiff's case Is fairly proved, the damages rhould be fixed.at the very highest point that will reasonably be allowed. No mercy for the trolley! GOV. MORTON'S OPPORTUNITY. Gov, Morton is now called upon to name to the Senate two Managers of the Elmira Reformatory in place of J. B, Rathbone and B. Swartwood, whose terms have expired. These per- kong were reappointed by Gov. Flower, but the Senate was not then in session, and the names to fill the vacancy will now have to be sent In. It would be ridiculously bad policy, as well as a public wrong, if Gov. Morton should draw down on his administration the disgrace that covered that of his predecessor by getting mixed up in this Elmira Reformatory scandal. Enough hus been shown in the reports of the State Charity Commission and Judge Learned to prove that faults do attach to the management, and that a c is demanded in the cause of hum 1 ag of justice. ‘That alone ought ermine Gov. Morton to make a change in the management when op- portunity offers. Wut the financial affairs of the Reformatory are under suspicion, and they have not yet been ated. It would be very bad policy on Goy, Morton's part to Invite a scandal under his own administration. ‘The Governor should appoint succes sors to the retiring trustees, and select men of sufficient character to guarantee a@ needed reform In the institution, A MAYOR'S TROUBLES, Mayor Strong 1s destined to have a hard tine tn his new position, The red- hot office seeker worried his life out of him in the Executive Chamber all last week, and fire tried to drive him to dis- traction In his quiet home on the peac ful Sunday. Whe the Mayor left his office last Saturday he doubtless expected a day of rest and enjoyment. At least su enjoyment asx @ resident on Fifty Seventh street can expect with little mountains of dirty snow in the road and the sidewalks almost impassable from mud and slush. But while he was at lunch the cry of fire was raised, smoke disturbed the feeders, the Mayor's son rushed off through the outside filth to turn In an alarm, and the Mayor himself, armed with two pails of water, started to find the location of the fre Soon it was discovered that the alarm was groundless, and had been occa- sloned only by the carelessness of some of the domestics.
