Every session of the Legislature brings a batch of Bills designed to release the street railroad companies of this city from the few obligations they have assumed in return for their priceless franchises. Just now the Ohairmen of the Railroad Committees of the two houses, Mr. Wilcox in the Senate and Mr. Bedell in the Assembly, are sponsors for an identical bunch whose passage would | practically make the Metropolitan the owner of the, streets of New York. | One of these measures proposes to relieve the road | from the necessity of giving transfers at congested points—that Is to say, at the points where they are most Meoded. Any other corners at which the company might | | feel inclined to refuse transfers are covered by Assem- | Diyman Wallace's bill depriving individuals of the right to bring sult in such cases, so that instead of ten thou- gand paymonts of $50 each the utmost penalty the road ‘would havo to fear as a result of violating the transfer law would be a single fine of $100. When the charter exacted compensation for future street-railroad franchises and limited their life to twenty-five years, most of our best streets had already ‘Deen thrown away by careless or corrupt Aldermen. They were held by corporations under perpetual fran- ‘chises worth scores of millions in the market, but re- turning nothing to the city. The only hope of recover- ing any salvage from the wreck of the public interests Jay in the chance that at some time the holders of these franchises might want to make some change in their terms, which would give an opportunity to subject them. to new conditions. Some of the Wiloox-Bedell bills at Albany propose to take that hope away, by giving the compantes the right to relocate their lines on other| streets, to take up rails and put them down again when they feel like it, and to revive franchises which under the existing laws would be dead. Senator Wilcox, of Auburn, and Assemblyman Bedell, of Goshen, no doubt agree with Senator Platt, of Owego, ‘and Gov. Odell, of Newburg, that New York City would go to ruin !f it did not have rural statesmen to look after its affairs, ° FFP9 59430 230208 FHHIS A HAPPY HOME BY INJUNCTION. It has beer held by a Court at Coshocton, Ohio, that a + wife cannot emancipate herself from household duties by merely filing a petition for divorce. When the divorce has been duly granted she can pack up her wardrobe, stake out the children in an orphan asylum and Dilthely pend her alimony on soda and matinee tickets, but until that time she must continue to cook her husband's meals, make his bed and presumably mend his trousers, just as | if white-winged peace still fluttered over the domestic circle, It looks like a signal victory for the tyrant man, but there are some things which even the Supreme Court of | § the United States would find ultra vires, A Court may | order a wife to make her husband's bed pending a de- eision in her divorce suit, but can it keep chestnut burrs from finding thelr way between the sheets? The Court ymay order such a wife to prepare her husband's meals, ‘Dut what {s a meal? Under the Raines law decisions a sandwich, size and age not specified, is enough. More than enough the wife tied to the kitchen by a Court order would probably decide. Perhaps egss might sult her better—eggs of a ripe and mellow maturity. There must be a man brave enough to try the experi- ment of keeping a wife in harness by judicial decree— otherwise the Ohio Court would not have had an oppor- tunity to render its decision. But one day's trial will ‘ probably convince that man of what most others know by the unassisted light of reason—that when a woman has begun divorce proceedings the safest place {s as far away from her as possible, SIN’S VARIED CAUSES, In Philadelphia a worthy bishop has been scoring the rich and fashionables. There must be a certain sat- isfaction in this, yet the rich do not seem to care, and the poor are still eager to become rich. $ “The three great causes of sin,” said the bishop, “are power, prosperity and leisure.” He easayed to prove his case, and perhaps believed that he had done so, As causes of sin there are ne three, great above all others. A teacher nerhaps wiser than the bishop de- tlared the love of money to be the root of all evil, Mevertheless there are distinct evils that have no rela- 8O204 © © RESIST ME CAUTION!
