and stockholders of all the companies. But
| it does not follow on that account that they
| have not con Institutional and vested rights.
These are the safeguards of every commune

their rights and property will have legal pro-
lection and not be turned over to a com
mune, or we can hope for no advancement
or improvement anywhere in the country.
| AS a matter of fact, however, the veto of
the five cent fare bill really affects the labor
ing class very little. The elevated roads al
ready carry people for five cents from half
past five in the morning to $50 O'Clock, and
from half past four in the evening to Z: 80 p.
m These are the hours when these rail
roads are used by the working classes and
com paratively few travel at any other hour.
The trains during these hours are heightened
by additional cars and run more frequently.
The jam is absolutely immense, so much so
that in my occasional visits to New York
have always endeavored to time my up and
down town trips for some other hours, as /
prefer to pay ten cents and secure seat
than to ride standing for five cents. There
are always sufficient number of ladies to
| fill all OF the seats, so that if a man is fortu-
nate enough to secure one, he must be chur-
lish enough to see scores of ladies standing
| if he continues to occupy it. 1t is true that
the regular New Workers do not vacate seats
| in elevated or in other cars for ladies', but
having come from the wild parties of the
west and feeling that had more physical
ability to stand than a shop girl who had
been on her feet all day / have always pre-
ferred if upon the cars during those hours,
to usurp standing position rather than
reserve a seat which some weary female
worker would gladly occupy.
1t is evident to my mind that this hue and
cry on behalf OF the laboring people of New
York who want to ride for five cents exists
more among the politicians who desire the
spoils of New York City than among the
absolute laborers. If law was passed re-
curling the elevated roads to furnish a suffi-
Gent numper OF cars to enable the working
people to have seats during their rides there
would be more justice and more legality in
| it than in the attempt to violate the consti-
tution of the state of New York by making
the fare FIVE cents for twenty-four hours
| through.
The real fact is that Tammany hall cares a
great deal more for the control of public
| affairs in New York city than it does for the
control of the country. If there was Dem
ocratic administration, New York. while an
ssempire state, - in fact as well as in name,
would be but one in multitude of hungry
states which would be clarnoring for public
nosition. In New York city alone the ex-
penditures exceed $50, O0O, 600 per year. and
the division of this great sum extends vastly
further than all New York could hope
tn secure if the national administration
was Democratic. Hence we have been
treated to the spectacle Of Republicans DELHI
s-atelv aiding the Democrats in New York
civ for the purpose of controlling national
mower. It is about time for the Democratic
marty 10 let the issue come direct. The rule
or ruin policy Of Tammany has preyaisse
long enough They should be notified that
they can't rule, and the party can well afford
/ To take the chance of ruin, for It would be
r,1in to allow them to rue #. and as it can be
M more than ruin il would in the end pro-
d,tee good results even If ruin followed. It
II time to teach that organization that their
dictation Of the past can't be longer tolerated.
