In February of last | year The Evening World exposed all the abuses that are | * gow moving the authorities to action—high pressure, | ehéap water gas and inaccurate meters—and elicited @ deluge of complaints from consumers, The agita-_ tion by which it has compelled the surrender of the! Public Service Corporation of New Jersey {s too fresh | in the popular memory to need reviewing. Tbe people of the cities “served” by this insolent corporation have been worked up to such a pitch of wrath that they have been ready for anything, from chopping down trolley poles and going without cars to municipal ownership of the lines. Ta both directions we are headed now toward re- form, but we have not yet reached it. The gas monop- ‘ely and the trolley monopoly both need watching, and We can promise them that they will get it. TAMMANY AND HOME RULE. Tt is alleged that Tammany intends to oppose the} Topal-option excise plan because it is afraid that the people of New York would not vote for Sunday open- flog if the question were left to them. It is also hinted that it prefers to keep matters in their present condi- | tion, because if things that are now illegal were made | Tegal the springs of graft would be dried up. No doubt there are many men in Tammany whom the second charge would fit, but we should not Ike to believe such a thing of Leader Murphy, Mayor Mc- | Clellan or Police Commissioner McAdoo, all of whom Bave pledged themselves to keep corruption cut of the Police Department, and thus far have seemed to man- age things about as well as they were managed under the late administration. As to the first point, it is possible that the ideas of the Tammany leaders may be correctly stated, but if "\@0 their position is utterably untenable and they will be compelled to retreat from it as soon as the public understands the situation. There are three things that may be done about the excise problem: We may “stand pat” on the present Jaw, with all its opportu- “nities for oppression and blackmail; we may have the \rules changed by the Legislature, or we may leave the question to the people immediately affected. The first ‘gourse would be a violation of all the promises of the jeampaign, and the second is impossible, because rural Segislators will not dare to vote directly in favor of | Bunday opening anywhere. That leaves the third course _ the only one open. It has the further advantage of being both expedient and right. > To say that the people of New York, or of the Bor- ugh of Manhattan or the Borough of Brooklyn, would | ‘mot vote for Sunday opening if they had a chance . ‘@ivea the whole Tammany case away. If that be true, | this is not a downtrodden community oppressed by fural masters, but a free city enjoying just the situa- \ Jon it likes.
