GIVE THEM CREDIT FOR SOME SENSE. HE EVENING WORLD does not believe the uniformed em- ployees of the city are in favor of a return of Tammany to power. How can they be? Are lieutenants on the eligible list of the Police Department Hankering to pay $15,000 to somebody to become captains? Are roundsmen yearning to “give up” from $8,000 to $5,000 to beeome lieutenants? Do ordinary patrolmen want to hand over from $500 to $1,000 to become roundsmen? Does the average man on the waiting list prefer to pay $900 to become « policeman? Would patrolmen generally rather “slip” somebody from $25 to 38100 to be transferred? Or would one and all rather stand by the eligible list with the| right of free promotion and promotion on merit? City employees are not fools. eé — ‘ ~ A thin skin seems to go with a thick neck, f LET IT LIVE UP TO ITS NAME. N EVENING WORLD READER, in a letter printed claewhere, A voices the feeling of thousands of New Yorkers as to the needless, nerve-racking acreechings and grindings of brakes and wheels on city railway lines. The Evening World has repeatedly denounced the unchecked riot of this particularly torturing, brain-piercing noise-nuisance, This reader ask, with many others: “What can we do to help bring relief?” H A Public Service Commission was established some six years ago | for the express purpose of protecting the public from exactly this sort | | of imposition and annoyance. Every complaint addressed to the Com- } mission lays upon its members the obligation to consider and, if rea- } eonable, to investigate the same, Five years ago the Chairman of thia Commission expressly ! | Tetlared : } ‘We intend to do everything in our power to obviate the need- less noises of the city transportation lines. ‘We are not engaging in any spasmodic action. ‘ We intend to follow this problem until we obtain perma- nent results. The Chairman of the Con xission then was William R. Willcox. ‘The Chairman to-day is Edward E, McCall. Before the street railway companies can be made to fix thoir israkes and oil their tracks it may be necessary to convince the Public ; Service Commission as now constituted that the part of its title which reters to serving the public has not lost its meaning. by the Press Publishing Company, Nos, 68 to | i | | ———$<—_-4-__.

F OLLOWING the car rowdy comes the car ruffian, The former The latter is a menace, Car rowdies were often only noisy young men who rough- housed to the discomfort and diagust of their fellow passengers. Car! raffians are full grown brutes who carry revolvers, deliberately insult women and who, when interfered with, fight viciously and shoot; to kill. i Three weeks ago a police sergeant who tried to protect two gitls from @ psir of these beas * fatally shot. The latest disgraceful scene of the kind occurred the other day on a Third avenue Brooklyn trolley car. ‘Two ruffians got into the car and began to jostle and throw their arms around women passengers. A police detective interfered, a desperate fight ensued in the course of which revolvers were flourished and a man’s leg waa broken, and the two thugs were landed at a police station only after ® riot which nearly became a lynching. It is time the police took strenuous measures to suppress these ~ brates that infest elevated and trolley lines. Special policemen shonld be detailed to ride on cars and convince car ruffians that the public means to make short work of them. ————_-¢-___ te it Concord, N. H., or Aibany, N.

Later he walked into the store and sald: “I have been buying my cigars from one dealer for the last seven years, paying $15 a'hundred for them, and now he is selling me bad cigars. I ‘will buy @ box from you at the same price and if satistectery you can have my trade.” 1 reasoned that the other dealer was not selling him bad cigare, but that this man had Yost his taste, probably from smok- ing too much, or his stomach be- ing oat of order. Anyhow I told him to wait till next morning before bu; ing the box, as a new lot of fine cigate would arrive. 1 persuaded him ‘to touch no cigar until the fol- lowing morning, #0 as to enjoy the fine quality of our new stock. I only wanted him to have a reat. It was a risk, but he came the follow- ing day and bought a box of cigars and ‘remained a steady customer theteafter.
