HE spirit of liberty is indeed a bold and fearless spirit; but it I ia also a sharp sighted spirit; it ie a cautious, sagacious, dis. criminating, far-seeing intelligence. It is jealous of en- croachment, jealous of power, jealous of man; it demands checks; it eceks for guards; it insists on securities; it entrenches itself behind strong defences, and fortifies itself with all possible care against the assaults of ambition and passion; it does not trust the amiable weaknesses of human nature, and therefore it will not permit power to overstep its prescribed limits, though benevolence, good intent and patriotic purpose come along with it. Neither doce it satisfy ‘ tteelf with flashy and temporary resistance to illegal authority. Far otherwise; it seeks for duration and permanence; it looks before and after, and, building on the experience of ages which are past, it labore diligently for the benefit of ages to come. DANIEL WEBSTER. Died Oct. 24, 1852. 1 FOR THE SUBWAYFARER. UBWAY strap-hangers may cull happy thoughts for heated mo- ments from the current Interborough Bulletin, the magazine which the Interborough Rapid Transit Company issues monthly for the edification of its employees. Some night, for example, when the jam is thickest and the inrush has bottled you up and carried you past your stop, reflect with pride that on Monday, Oct. 14, the subway carried a total of 1,199,747 passengers, and thereby broke all past records for a single day. The greatest number on any previous day was 1,179,512 on Sept. 25, 1909, during the Hudeon-Fulton celebra- tion. Fleets in the river are great subway exciters. Consider aleo that every day now lengthens the car mileage— that, for instance, Oct. 5, 33,000 car miles were added to the schedule, When you find it hard to read small print in the newspaper think that by Dec. 1 all sixteen candle-power electric lamps in subway trains will be replaced by lights of thirty-two candle-power. Also storage bat- teries designed automatically to turn on two lamps in each car should there be any failure of the main current will be installed in all cars before November. This last is an improvement much to be desired. Nothing is so unpleasant in ordinary subway blocks, nothing in case of accident so surely leads to fainting and panic as sudden and total darkness. We are told for our comfort that “after a new employee fs in- structed in the rules and regulations of the Interhorough and put on with a good man to study the practical side of the work he is told to remember always and at all times and on all occasions: In case of doubt take the safe side.” When a guard shuts a door on your leg and curses you for it, remember that during the month of September eight hundred employees received instruction from lectures in the Subway School on Rules, Courtesy, ete. Take them all in all, considering what they have to bear from VOLUME 83.. Publishing Company, Nos. 63 to York. and Ww JOuN Ts LEND Me THAT. UNBRELLA GET IT BACK MR BILL SENT the work on the one kand and the public on the other, subway guards are a creditable class of public servants. They make use of their schooling. On the other band a large part of the public using the subway would be the better for a few lessons from strong arm instructors in common order and decency. Iron fences and plat- form guards partially restrain the beast who hurls himself into a train in the faces of people getting out. But is there any way of dealing with the hog who crowds his way aboard only to stop short on the end platform and so block the way of those hurrying in behind him? Passengers in subway trains should be absolutely forbidden to stand in doorways through which others must paes in or out. 1f there is no other way, then clear the end platforms, ——-4- Ontcago, too, Res twrned down “‘tag" day.
