Cold in the Cars.

One of our popular delusions is that the
street cars promote public comfort, while
they are really injurious to both the public
than to ride in winter, but unfortunately the
long distances in New York make the cars
necessary evils The citizen who is obliged
to ride for miles with frozen feet thrust into
wet and muddy straw, reads with indigna-
ton the sarcastic advertising signs over the
windows, such as "Take Tar for Pneumo-
nia," "Bronchine Will Cure Consumption,
and is not much consoled by the knowledge
that he may buy ''Ready Made Cofins at Re
duced Rates" The manufacturers of patent
cough medicines do we'll to advertise in this
way, for the patrons of the cars form large
proportion of their patients. But the peo-
pie, who are more interested in the pre-
vention than tho cure of disease, demand
that the companies shall adopt the sim
pie and cheap methods of warming the
cars which are common in other countries.
None Of these can be more easily introduced
than the chauferettes which are used in rail-
way carriages in Europe These footpans,
filled with boiling water, retain the heat for
hours, and while they keep the feet warm
do not interfere with ventilation. If Ameri-
can ingenuity can produce better method,
or can improve upon the model, we shall be
pleased, but meanwhile there is no reason
why the chauferettes should not be used at
once by all the principal lines. Alderman
Cole introduced q resolution in the Board
this week requiring the companies to prop
erly warm the cars, and we hope it will re-
ceive prompt and favorable consideration
from the Committee on Railroads, to which
it was referred.

Misfortune. Of whiskey Prosecutions.

Misfortunes Of Whisl<ey Prosecutions.
Prosecutions for frauds on the government
through the illicit whiskey trade seem to be
singularly unfortunate. The exhaustive
efforts of Secretary Bristow only succeeded
in convicting few of the Western whskey
conspirators, and nearly oil of those who
were found guilty have been released by a
pardon after a farcical show of punishment.
Judge Benedict, in the United States Circuit
Court, now announces that in the crooked
whiskey cases in this city point is pend
ing before him the decision of which may
be fatal to the indictments. The Judge
would scarcely have made such statement
from the bench had he not been well con-
vinced that the prosecutions must fall
through. The men who engage in these
whiskey frauds certainly have wonderfully
good fortune. They make enormous
amounts of money, and when they have
their dishonest profits safely in their pock-
cts it seems impossible to find prosecuting
officer who does not make some accidental
evidence to convict them. Singular that
Justice is so swift to overtalSe penniless
thief and so slow to catch the wealthy rob-
Der who steals millions from the government.
Is IT ANOTHER INDIAN MASSACRE Pit cam
not be expected that we should make war
without some loss of life, but the disasters
which have happened to our troops in the
Indian campaigns thisyear are without prec-
edent The massacre of the gallant Custer
and his command has not yet been explained,
and now comes report that Major Randall
and his party, sent out by General Crook
from Old Fort Reno to obtain scouts from
the Grow tribe, have been cut off and de-
stroyed by Crazy Horses band. The defeat
of portion of Sitting Bulls forces by
Lieutenant Baldwin fails to compensate for
this terrible calamity. The report is not
fully confirmed, and we trust will prove un-
true; but it is believed in Washington.
There must be some mismanageme Mt. Our
soldiers are ready to fight, but they ought
not to be sacrificed.
