bonds loose in his pocket, and expect railroad
companies to take care of him in propofuon'
without giving them any information but
both decisions indicate that in proper case
a street car win be held subject to the same
general rule as steam-car train.
Picking pockets by stealth might not come
within such rule for a conductor can hardly
be expected to keep watch 80 closely as to
prevent that. If the conductor does his best
TO preserve order, and is absolutely over
powered, the passenger might probably fail
in his suit. For an open robbery, by violence,
the conductor taking care of himself and
leaving his passenger to do the same, there is
good ground to consider the company liable.
If case comes up from one of the one-horse
cars which are now growing fashionable, the
lawyers will have a chance to argue whether
running a car without conductor, with no one
in charge but driver whose han are full
of reins, and brake, and packets of change,
and where the passengers are left to settle all
disputes between themselves, is exercising
/" the utmost diligence and care in guarding
passengers against assaults and rObberes.

Ii must be confessed that Glover did not do eX-
actly the square thing if he went off from Washing
ton as the report is, without having made any pro
vision for the remuneration of the great cloud OF
witnesses and experts who have been in attendance
on him during the session. For these people have
really helped Glover TO a great deal Of fame and
furnished much amusement 70 the country at large
The manner in which they have skipped about aud
led the trustfu Glover on all sorts OF wld-goose
chases; their success in making him believe they
knew the track Of the embezzler and the
lair of the defaulter; their fertility OF inyen-
tion and abundant resources: and above all, the
way in which they have induced Glover, at stated
intervals to stand up before the country with ms
finger On his lips, and say, S-h-hl BE quiet and go
slow now There's hen on have been Tor seven
months the countrys delight. They have done
everything for Glover Had It not been for them

eyery time-now Banning, now Morrison's com
mittce, and now the experts themselves. lie at

wouldn't have done without his experts. And now
10 think that, after all they have done for
him IN the way Of exploring and testify
ing and conducting tho examination Of wit
pesses-to such an extent that this viii be
known as GloveI's Congress-that Glover has left
them in the lurch with provision made for them
in any OF the Appropriation bills, not even IN the
great River and Harbur grabthis Is altogether too
bad. The country would have willingly paid them,
even at the expense of laying special income tax
for it. Il isn't the Republic, but Glover that's
unuateful.
However, all is not lost. They can easily follow
the fashion set By Anderson and the Louisiana
crowd and turn States evidence on Glover. Auder-
sons great feat was after he had made an affidavit,
and been refused "a consulship IN warm
climate" for it, TO 90 before a commit
tee and withdraw his previous sworn
statement remarkng casually that it was lie.
The Glover experts and witnesses might do this,
and though they could not get the money they have
so we'll earned by such course, they would at least
have the satisfaction Of getting square with Glover.
The Anderson plan Is based upon that by which

large syringe rs soon "a the soup was served and de-
manded payment in advance for the dinner. If the
fellow refused payment the landlord calmly inserted
the nozzle of the syringe into tn" soup plate, and
pulled up the soup. 1t seems quite an effective
method Of dealing with fellows who do not pay, and
we commend il TO Gloyer's experts.

close nothing that Mr. Potter would like to
know. and upon the whole are hlghly uhla-
vorable to Mr. Potter's cause.
There is point in Anderson's letter to Mr..
jerks, read on Saturday. which deserves no
tice. The Red d-headed Register was on conf
dental terms with Mr. Jcnks--sO much so that
he offered him 81 1000 to go and find the
missing "Sherman guarantee and he added:
"If we can get possession of it we will make

wishes the world to believe that the letter
was promise that he should be rewarded Tor
swearing to lie in order to cheat the Demo-
Gratis out of the election, and that Mr.. Sher-
man had hired him TO commit this fraud. But
here is what he says Of 1t to his partneT-to
the man with whom he was working for poliu-
cal reward: "When those Republican dead
"beats came to Louisiana last year to

"I refused to fall into line until we
"secured q written guarantee that we would

explained under the mans own hand, IN
letter to his confidential ally. The Republi-
can dead-beats" had come to have "a fair
count" and Anderson and Webber saw a
chance for strike. 1t is a full confirmation
of all that has been said by Republicans in
explanation of these New-Oreans transactions,
and it is quite enough to dispel the fraud
theory without one other word.

The Potter investigation, as we now understand
it, in the light of the resolution adopted after An
derson's budget was opened is not intended 10
initiate revolutionary proceedings with the pur-
nose of unseating President Hayes, but only
to show, by the testimony of some OF
the most fluent and versatile liars in the
country, that he was never legally elected.
They wouldn't turn him out-bess you-no; all
they want to do is to make 1t as uncomfortable as
possible for him. Mr.. Potter's purpose is merely to
put bent pin in the Presidents chair; that's all.
This Is commendable, Of course, If the premises are
true that he occupies the SCAT by fraud. But t Is
a very remarkable circumstance, a coincidence that
runs on all fours with GovePs great successes as an
earnest searcher after fraud that though the COM
mitee have succeeded in bending two or three pins
so that they must hurt if sat on, they have In
each case in a sort of absent-minded way,
sat down on the pins themselves The work OF
making President Hayes uncomfortable has not
thus far succeeded but the Potter Committee has
shown unmistallable signs of having sat down on
something sharp.
