President Garfield has lshown the fate of

chief whose high principles, marked IN

status-gave promise of tenure of power,
fruitful, invaluable acts of public policy.
America has lost q great citizen and the
world fine example Of humanity; but
while the spirit Of this upright and high
hearted President passed away it insures
certain reliance upon the love of heaven.
We may venture 10 say that even in his
loss, America also gains. She has gained
knowledge of that deep sympathy which
England feels for her fortunes.

Overlooking Street Cars-Who is to Blame,

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
1t seems that most of the writer's in relation
to overlooking street cars are inclined to attach
all Of the blame to the conductors and drivers
None accuse the people who crowd the cars, with
cruelty. There would be terrible howl should
the conductors order their drivers to start and
leave number Of passengers when there was
standing room in the car. Now am inclined
to think the people who insist upon crowding
the cars and overlooking them. are fully as much.
if not more, to blame than the conductors and
drivers. The conductors are generally polite
and accommodating. and are very anxious to
have their cars well-filled but certainly have no
power to compel anyone to get into a car and
stand up when it is plain to be seen the car is
1ull TO It's utmost capacity. / hope the writer's
will turn their attention somewhat to the dear
people, and educate them in humanity as well
as delivering lectures to, and making threats
against, the innocent conductors who are doing
all they can to please the travelling public by
conveyingthem as speedily as possible to their
destination. So far as the crowtling of the cars
at the steamboat landing is concerned have
never seen any one Inconvenience by it, and as
the entrance of the car is at the side instead of
at the rear, the horses do not interfere with the
passengers entering the cars. There is only one
way to correct this evil, so much complained of.
and that is to have a law passed limiting the
number of passengers to be drawn by any given
number of horses in vehicle. The passage of
such law would relieve the conductors and
drivers of much responsibility, and the agents
OF the society for the prevention of cruelty to
animals from great deal of frutless labor
