The indicted Broadway railway officials who
are to plead to-day. ought 80 be tried without
unnecessary delay. They have had long
enough respite. But the pn6llc is Informed
that no time can be set for their trial at
present. There is a suspicious lack of vigOr in
the District Attorneys Office concerning these
cases.
IfJsmes d. Fish is so much of hopeless
physical wreck rs some of his friends represent,
he must have failed rapidly within short time.
1t is to be hoped that if the President pardons
him, as seems to be in contemplation, he will
not do it on the ground Of Mr.. Fish's previous
life He is entitled to no more cOnsid deration
than any other criminal.
The Democratic ring in Albany has an
unsavory reputation, and nearly every year
some of it's follow ers are arrested for election
frauds. So far this year there have been ten
such arrests, and more are promised. Popular
indignation runs high in Albany and there is
little room for doubt that DR.. Swinburne was
defeated by means which ought to result in an
addition to the number of inmates in the
penitentary.
Neglect to take proper precautions for the
care and safety of their wOrkmen has been
cause of general complaint against contractors
on the new Aqueduct. The large number OF
deaths and the frequent warnings OF coroners'
juries have not been sufficient to secure needed
changes, One important matter in which there
has been failure of duty on the part OF some
of the contractors Is in regard to lighting the
shafts. The Corporation Counsel has advised
the Aqueduct Commissioners that they can do
this at the contractOrs expense. There VIII
now be no excuse for the continuance OF this
wrong.
Temperance workers in the State propose to
ask the Legislature at the coming session To
amend the local option law 80 as 20 make 1t
efective. As it now stands it Is evaded by
brewers who sell in quantities of five gallons
without a license. The proposed amendment
is an entirely reasonable one and ought to be
granted. There is q" reason why the people OF
any town In the State should oot have the
privilege of excluding liquors If they so decide
at the polls. There are very few States that
do not have local option law.
II will be interesting to note how Governor
Hill dispOses OF the two seats on the Supreme
Court bench which fall to bis lot to fill He
promoted to this bench last year the chairman
of the committee which had charge OF his
canvass. The most conspicuous candidates Tor
the places now at his disposal are persons
known to the public only through their activity
In politics. While this is no dscredit, 1t 10 far
from being = suffcient qualification for
Justice Of the Supreme Court. 1t would be a
pleasing change ii the Governor would cease
10 use such places for tho payment of 20 litical
debts.
The rapid increase in the value of real estate
IN Nsw-York WAS shown in the sale yesterday
of some property at Broadway and Portieth-st
II was purchased forty-ons years ago for
&2,6O0 and sold yesterday for $3.50, 900.
