L, is to be regretted that the managers OF the
elevated railroads have refused to make theif
rates 5 cents on Saturday afternoon during the
summer Their action is in unpleasant con-
trast with the generous behavior OF the large
business houses of the city VINO nave cohsenteu
to give their employees weekly haii-hohuaf'

Indebted to the community Tor the glit Vi
valuable franchises as these elevated ROADS are
to refuse to make any sacrifice III the puohc
interest.
Snaiu not only has the cholera badly, but is
suffering with a crisis in Government aiiaiis'
The disease gains constantly, the people hght
against sanitary measures, the Ministers resign
because the King wants to visit the injected
districts, and in the COrtes the Government Is
attacked because a mob is fired upon by
soldiers The whole situation illustrates the
difficulties of governing an ignorant people on
the principles of a constitutional monarchy
They don't know enough to distinguish where
their responsibilities begin, or where those OF
the rulers leave oil.
The appointment of Mark ID. WILDER to be
United States District Attorney for brooklyn
is said by those who know the new official to be
q fairly good one from personal point OF view;
but il is clearly political selection. Mr. VII
Der is an intimate political friend OF " Boss
Mclaughlin, and it is heavy odds to nothing
that the Boss - will direct the distribution OF
such patronage as falls to Mr.. WILDER. Any
one who knows the Boss therefore, will
readily perceive that the cause of reform and
clean politics is not materially helped thereby.
The arrival at Fort Pitt of the prisoners held
by Big Bear practically ends the haIt-breed
rebellion in the Dominion The troops will
pursue the Indians no further, but leave them
to be subdued by hunger. Although the fight
ing is thus happily over, the Canadian authori-
ties are by no means through with the matter.
Riel is to be disposed of, and the causes OF
half breed discomfort are to be removed. The
Dominion Government will doubtless sec that
this is the time to do full justice to the settlers
of the Northwest, no matter what their extrac-
tion and thus prevent outbreaks in the future.
The Senate Investigation Committee has
rowing commission to investigate abOut what
and whom 1t pleases and if it ever gets to
work perhaps it will kindly take in the Excise
Board. There seems to be an excellent chance
there to stir things up Commissioner Morris has
made long struggle against the useless
appointment of inspectors and the improper
licensing of disreputable resorts; but his Dem
ocratic colleagues coolly pursue the even tenor
of their way without regard TO his protests or
TO public morals or decency. Their last per-
Torrance is the appointment Of three additional
inspectors who will only have about one license
a day TO inspect until next spring and the
licensing of a particularly Objectionable drink
ing place. Superintendent Murray would do
well to note the number Of this shop.
The honest, simple minded people in the rural
districts of Connecticut must have more than
usual respect for the law; at least they seem to
think that anything the laws officers do is all
right and not to be complained Of The case OF
Farmer Egan of Darien, is to the point. TINS
worthy person found dead man in an old well
bn his premises pulled him out, and informed
his neighbors. Apparently the man was a
tramp who had been murdered. There was
nothing to show who had committed the deed.
but the Coroner promptly clapped the handouts
on Farmer Egan and led him of TO jail
Egan took his arrest good-naturedly and re-
proved his family for crying. OF course 1t has
turned out that Egan cannot possibly be the
