LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Transfer Tickets.


Editor St1r:-YeSterday was inaugurated by
the Washington and Georgetown and Fourteenth
street Railroad Companies, system of issuing
transfer tickets to patrons OF their cars through
conductors or agents stationed at the intersec-
ton OF the roads, from IS to 100 feet from the
St0ppage OF the cars. Now while this system
may be small saving to the Stock-ownerS, it is
great Inconvenience to constant patrons OF the
road and others, as it compelS a passenger to
watt-rafn or shfne-close to the distributor Of
said transfer tickets 1t also taxes his memory
to remember who gets of OF the cars to make
transfer. and II he does not happen to see some
applicants who alight from car shortly before
embarrassment to the applicant and rejecting
on the honesty OF his demand and title to the
ticket. By law person is entitled to trans
fer ticket when the car haltS at the junction,
without waiting the pleasure OF the road to keep
said passenger until the arrival Of car that may
be delayed or may have started of not too far to
be caught by person who IS not DELAYED by
waiting the convenience OF the transfer ticket
del1verer. have personally met with this in
convenience twice. The first day of its inaugu-
ration came up from eth street and left the car
at ThOmpSon'S drug store to get a package, and
on demanding my transfer was told by one. Pat
he is called, and who knows me as constant
patron Of the 14th street road, he did not see me
get off the car, and therefore could not give me
a transfer. Because l am employed In the
treasury he Thought I never went down town
after leaving the car, and so doubted the honesty
OF my demand before several persons waiting
abb ut him. This, / say, is an outrage on the
pull lie at large, and the company ought to dis
continue ltS pract1ce at once, and cater more to
the public than they have reputation of doing
TIE next morning l demanded a transfer and
are ther conductor, of large proportions, refused
to and me transfer ticket, remarking that he
wo, Id see me to the car when it arrived and
hal the conductor transfer for me; that the
MOI ming before did not use my transfer. This
is a humiliation that no company ought to eX-
ercise upon reputable public and patrons Of
their road But this company, having succeeded
in buying up the chariot line, now seek to tyran-
lie over the travelling public and impose on the
patience OF human nature too much. by keeping
passengers waiting in rain or sunshine, snow or
ice. Mr. Editor, is this a fair treatment of the
public in its patronage OF road reaping the

Imexpert Raiders.

The agent of the Society for the Preven-
ton OF Crime is no doubt sincere in his
desire to rid the city Of gambling houses
and other illegal resorts and to make all the
people of New York pious and virtuous.
But he does not appear to be very successful
in the first part OF his praiseworthy under
taking. BY some means or other the gam
blers are informed OF the agents approach
whenever he organizes q raid, and when he
puts his hand on them. like the Irishmans
flea, they are not there. His efforts to cap
ture some OF tho fraternity last Wednesday
night were wasted, and places which he had
been led to expect would be in full opera
ton were found dark and deserted.
1t is evident that these spasmodic raids
are not the proper mode OF stopping vicious
and illegal pursuits and enforcing the law.
We have had them periodically when they
have been more successful in small way
than those undertaken by the societys
agent. Places have been pulled" their
contents confiscated and their proprietors
arrested; but they have generally been
poor devils who do not belong

"Even Up"

Mr.. Gretton's famous horse Isonomy yes
terday returned the compliment paid him
by Parole at Newmarket last spring by
beating the American gelding in the race
for the Goodwood Cup. Fortune did not
favor Parole in any of the circumstances at
tending the race. Rain fell in torrents
during the morning, making the track
soggy and heavy, and this. with a two
and half mile course and powerful horse
and good slayer to contend against, was not
promising tor the gelding These are plain
facts, and are not mentioned as an excuse
for the disappointment of the American
stable. Parole was fairly beaten, taking
the third place, while Isonomy justified the
judgment of his hackers by capturing the
prize.
These two famous horses are now sseven
up" Each has defeated the other in we'll
contested race. Parole beat Isonomy for
the Newmarket Handicap. and now Isonomy
beats Parole for the Goodwood Cup. The
challenge race proposed some time ago by
Mr. Gretton tor five thousand guineas would
now be most interesting event and would
create an immense sensation in America as
well as in England. The owners OF Isonomy
and Parole have full confidence in their re-
spective horses, and every turfman would
be pleased to see the question of superior
ity settled by fair. square race. With one
victory scored to each this can only be done
by third trial, and if the engagements of
the horses will permit, a challenge race be-
tween these two favorites would be one of the
most interesting turf events of the season.

A New Commission.

The committee appointed by the citizens
of the new wards to take steps for procur-
ing the speedy construction of rapid tran
sit roads in the city above Harlem Bridge
is prosecuting the work intrusted to it
with commendable energy. 1t has been
determined to request the resignation of the
present Rapid Transit Commission and to
commence the work anew. SO as to get rid of
any feeling that may have been engendered
by the recent sharp controversies over the
commissions reports. This is the right
course to pursue and as all the present
Commissioners are gentlemen of response
bility and are deeply interested in securing
rapid transit in the newly annexed district.
we have no doubt that they will cheeriully
fall in with the committees views Rapid
transit roads are necessity in the upper
part of the city, and ought to be secured
without delay and without any jealousy or
strife among those who will benefit by their
construction.

The clover Report.

When Secretary Sherman made his second
speech in Maine the other day he was sur
prised to find a number of troublesome
questions put to him by persons in the
audience, and these and other questions
repeated in the journals of the State are
said to have given him good deal of
trouble. The story goes that some one
who had seen the Glover report had
used the material there furnished to formu-
late inquiries directed to the Secretary, and
it is possible that he may meet elsewhere
during the campaign similar queries.
Mr.. Glover complains, 1t will be seen,
that he prosecuted his official inquiry
against many obstacles, as the Treasury
rules forbid clerks to give information
willing to risk discharge by being over
communicative. His report and the evil
dence ought to have been printed before
now, and would have been, had not the re-
publicans constantly and with great deter
mination used the rules of tho House
to prevent vote on q proposition to
print. We shall not here attempt
to give any account of Mr.. Glover's charges
and discoveries. Republican politicians
have constantly asserted that he has dis
covered nothing but mares nests and it
is quite possible that he has not been able to
get to the bottom of all that he looked into.
1t is to the interest of party that has long
held power to prevent all disclosures ofwrong
doing; and those scandals of the last admin
istration, like the Belknap case, which
were brought to light, were discovered by
accident, and not by the help of those in
power. The whiskey frauds were covered
up, so fur as the chief men engaged in
them were concerned, in spite OF the efforts
of Secretary Bristow.
Whatever may be said of the Glover re-
port, its exposures will probably convince
many voters that 1t is we'll to have o
change of parties and let q new broom
into the departments at Washington.
When the democrats first got pos
session of the House Of Representatives
many honest republican members privately
confessed that it was good thing for the
country, because they could and would
bring about reforms and economies which
the republicans, even if they wished to do
SO, could not effect because it would re-
quire them to work against their friends.
The New York herald., 1879-08-01
sound Advice to General Ewing.


We copy elsewhere an article from the
Evening Express on General Ewing's can
vass in Ohio, which is SO sound and sem
sible that We commend it to the Generals
attention. II the democrats want to carry
elections they must agree to disagree on
incidentals and minor issues and combine
solidly on those questions on which they
are agreed General Ewing is, as his
opponents are obliged to acknowledge,
an able and honest man; he is a man
with career before him. If he can unite
and harmonic the democratic party, and
by SO doing carry Ohio. he will be worth a
dozen of the theoretical politicians like
is to divide their party and leave it in the
minority. Let the democrats here and in
Ohio take example by what the republicans
have done. They were and are as much
at loggerheads on the currency ques-
ton as the democrats There is no
shade of that question which has not
republican representatives and republic
can following, and the Warner silver bill
was passed in the House by the help of re-
publican votes. But they have stopped all
their dissensions in order to carry Ohio,
and if possible New York also. Let the DEM
ocrats act with the same prudent general
ship. The Evening Express is right and wise
when it wages: -''Let all democrats stand
squarely together on the broad common
ground of their historic principles, leaving
personal and peculiar opnions to those
who hold them. and there will be no diff
Guilty in preserving the harmony which is
essential to success"
The strong points of General Ewing's
canvass are the democratic economies in the
expenditures and the questions relating to
troops and other federal interference at the
polls. His showing of the saving
which has been effected in the national
administration since the democrats came
tives is unanswerable, and it will strike
the people. The single notorious fact that
since the democrats obtained the mastery
of the House the lobby has utterly disap-
peared from Washington is an argument
which every farmer and mechanic in Ohio
can understand. 1t means that huge and
wasteful leaks in the Treasury have been
stopped.
The one thing which the Ohio democrats
have to remember is that they must unite
if they mean to carry the State, and if they
act together they will have an important
influence on their party in New York.
Who knows-we may have democratic
President yet.
