Ta RUN THOSE CARS! ‘The withdrawal of the Seventh Regi- ‘ment and other troops from Brooklyn is ® practical indorsement of Judge Gay- nor’s opinion, given on Saturday, that the trolley-car companies have ample Protection to run their cars. The ab- ‘pence of any violence for two days past 4s further ocular demonstration of the game fact. And yet fewer cars were run yester- day than on Friday or Saturday, and there seems to be no prospect of any @reat increase in the number to-day. At 1s alleged that the companies make “shift to rum even so many only by transferring men at different hours ‘ “from one line to another, thus appar- ently running two or three lines, al- though in reality lacking the men to run one fully. ‘The quibble upon which Judge Gaynor Ddased his back-down from his determ!- nation to issue a peremptory writ of mandamus should obstruct travel longer. There are plentv of men to run the ears if the companies will pay the wages they ask. There are not men to run the cars at the wages the companies offer. The law requires that the com- panies shall run the cars. It is time it was enforced, even if receivers have to be appointed to operate the roads, FIREBUGS GET OFF EASY.

Jerry Simpson has said a great many things that were queer, But he talked sound sense to the strikers in Brooklyn yesterday when he warned them against violating the law. He also expressed his disapproval of strikes, “They are too costly,” he said, and too many of the men who sat before him knew too well from thelr own sad experience what he meant, At a city church last night there were prayers that Mayor Strong might “be led aright and for the benefit of all the people.” That prayer is in the proper spirit. Are those enthusiasts who rail at the Mayor for his understood post- | tion on the Sunday excise question sure that they quite enter into the “all the) people" part of it? Jerry Simpson is becoming as reckless | in his arithmetic as a penny-in-the-siot weighing machine, He says our present Gcvernment is one of brigandage, and Predicts that ‘% per cent. of the next generation wil! be criminals.” But Jerry's expectations concerning the | spread of Populism may not come to puss. ‘The temperance people say now that they are golng to coax Mayor Strong over to their principles, Hetween Coaxer | Platt, the Goo-Goos, the lquor deal- ers, and several others, the Mayor can say with the swaln, In the picture, “How happy could I be with either were other dear charmer away Mafla are at work again in New Or- leans, They have killed one man and threatened the lives of others, The band of Italian assassins had a wholesome leseon in the wholesale lynching of their members some years ago, but time seems to have softened the efficacy of the lesson.

Two gentlemen stood at a point on upper Broadway Saturday where most of the theatrical pedestrians were oblived to pass them. By this means they captured a good deal of pricele information, ‘Their principal object seemed to be to discover Manager A. M. Palmer's plans, and within a period of five minutes they heard # great deal about them, I've just learne remarked one pe- destrian, “that Palmer {s going to do ‘Heart of Maryland’ after “The Fatal Card.’ He has got scenery painted, $2,500 paid out and—well, the deal is ab- solutely settled.” The two gentlemen seemed _ relieved. A weight had evidently been lifted from their minds. An instant later another lutninary appeared, “The very, fellow I wished to meet,” waid this luminary, “IT thought I'd tell you that “The Heart of Maryland’ deal is off.

A fallure on the part of the strikers makes their condition worse. It seems that the laboring men are not wise in thelr se'ection of leaders. They should ‘tect more conservative and wiser counsellors. The history of these strikes will show them that they have shrewd, cunning and heartless men to contend against.
