merry makers bid their entertainers

GVNU RUEEIdNINM

The brutal assault upon an eley ated railroad
guard on Sixth-ave. last Sunday by gang OF
halfdrunken rOughs is typical case. The
Eind of backguards who commit such deeds
always travel in gangs, and on Sundays they
are invariably in the ugcst temper and most
disposed to exhibit the rulliihism that Is III
them. 1t may seem strange that the other
passf ngers did not go to the assistance of the
guard who was being beaten by these towards,
but the sober and peaceabe citizen is naturally
reluctant to encounter perhaps dozen strong
brues who would just soon commit murder
as simple assault, and al most any one OF whom.
if defeated, would use ii knife. Such nus
ances, however, cannot be put up with, and the
corporations whose lines are made the scene of
these ontrages will have to apply the law with
all the energy possible to punish the criminals
and thus give wholesome lesson to their kind.
The public interest as well rs their own
demands this. 1t may be, and M doubt is,
difficult 10 keep ruiliins oil the cars. If they
behave themselves when entering train OF
course there can be no excuse fol interfering
with them. But if after securing admission
they begin to insult the passengers and abuse
the employees of the company. they should be
dealt with swiftly and sternly. Arrest ut the
first station reached is the measure to be
resored to. 1t is little use to let the scOundrels
go and send detectives in search OF them the
next day. The public, who are outraged and
alarmed. demand immediate relief and pr0tec-
ton and are entitled to it, and the employees of
the roads are equally entitled to be protected.
1t might be better If the public were not so
imid, but the truth is that they have had several

The bride and groom left later in the
