THE STREET-C4R COMPANIES.

II is difficult indeed to imagine any sufficient
excuse for the facts set forth in detail else
where in to-day's TRIBUNE concerning the
conduct Of the street railroads toward the city.
These corporations are all rich and prosperous
They are paying from to 10 per cent an
nually to their stockholders upon issues of
stock that seem exceedingly large carrying at
the same time heavy loads of bonded debt for
which an equivalent in property would be, it
seems to us, hard to find. But despite these
tremendous burdens, the franchises they have
received from the people are so valuable that
they find no difficulty in paying their huge
interest accounts and in rolling up large
yearly surplus as well. In the case Of the
Broadway and Seventh Avenue Company this
statement may seem to need some qualification.
This company which up to 1885 paid an
per cent premium although it carried a debt of
S537 800 per mile, since it undertook the adj
ditional burden Of Jacob Sharp's Broadway
road has suspended the payment of profits.
But this is not due to an Improbable business.
It's earnings are immense and its failure TO
make returns is only temporary.
1t is entirely proper to say, therefore, that
all the street-car companies are profiting i'm
mensely upon the franchises given them by the
city, toward which in return their conduct has
been simply shameful. Utterly careless of the
ordinary rules Of honest business, they have
allowed a debt to accumulate against them for
car licenses Of 81 6l8,214 SO. This is sufli-
cient sum Of money, if only the city could get
it, to carry out many Of its greatly needed pub
lie works There is no reason to be given for
the failure of the city's officials to collect it.
The reason that is given does not amount even
to a shallow explanation. The Mayors Mar
shall is the officer to whom the duty OF collect
ing it has been ntrusted. He says that the
companies defaulted and he had no means Of
coercing them Surprising this statement to
be true, it is an amazing circumstance that the
matter should have been left with him, when
wear by wear the debt was increasing by nearly
100000. If the Marshal is destitute OF CO.
ercve processes thoy are endowed in abun-
dance upon the Controller who should all along
have had charge Of the matter anyhow, and
to whom il should Immediately he handed over.
Considerable attention has been paid in the
local article to which we referred to the sub
ject Of accidents, and il is made perfectly clear
by the comparisons there instituted that a
great majority of these distressing casualties
are due to the so-called bobtail system. The
annual accident list il appalling in size. The
street-cars Of New York are killing and MAIN
ing about $50 persons every year, and az
though the two-horse lines run through TIE
most densely crowded tLoroughfares. at fire..

All the testimony that the Congressional In
vestigating Committee has heard concerning
the devices of agents for persuading pauper
Italians to come to the United States, and the
Importation of laborers under contract Will
seem of small moment comparatively II the
statements made yesterday by German news
paper correspondent should prove to have
basis in fact That many men and women
who were no longer desirable citizens have
been helped to come from European countries
to the United States is unhappily true. and
there have not been wanting indications that
this was done by organized societies and with
official sanction Of one sort or another. 1t
must be confessed, however, that the spectacle
of Prince Luitpold, Regent of Bavaria, act
ing as honorary president of society devoted
to the shipment of criminals and paupers to
America is somewhat severe strain upon the
imagination. If the committee can find indis-
putable proof of the existence of societies OF
the kind described by Mr. Wolff yesterday, its
report will present plain and imperative duty
to the Department of State.

quent intervals employing large numoer OF
cars, yet the bobtail companies do the greater
work Of destruction. II is supposed generally
that some right adheres to the companies TO
run cars without conductors, but we are in
formed by the Counsel to the Corporation that
this is only in exceptional instances, if, in
deed it is in any, and that the Board Of
Aldermen can compel the street-car companies
to supply each car with conductor. Police
Justice Fords legal ruling that the require
ment of the companies compelling passengers
to act as their own conductors is reasonable
one. is absurd nonsense. II isn't reasonable,
and no Police Court law can make it so. The
Aldermen should exercise all the authority
which Mr.. Beekman advises that they possess,
and should exercise it promptly.

LORD SALISBURY'S RECORD.

The Salisbury Administration is equally con-
spicuOus for its successes and failures. It's
successes have been mainly legislative. The
rapid conversion of the entire public debt is
an achievement which would rebound to the
fame of any English Administration. This
great measure which has established Mr..
Goschen's reputation as one of the foremost
fnanciers Of the National Exchequer has been
accompanied by the Local Government bill, by
which radical changes will be effected through
out England. This measure, dealing with
London and the counties. has been successfully
carried through committee and will speedily
be enacted. While the Opposition has offered
little resistance to the bill, recognizing its Lib
eral character at the outset, and while the
Unionist alliance has facilitated its passage,
Mr.. Richie has deserved all the praise he has
received for arranging the details OF this we'll
digestcd measure and conducting the debate
with consummate tact and practical sag3city.
These two acts are browning triumphs OF con-
structive legislation. BY its infieXible firm
ness in administering the Coercion act the Min
istry has also persevered in holding its ground
in Ireland Mr.. Bafour as an administrator
has shown himself fully as energetic as Mr..
Forster was in his day; and in his Parliament
AIRY passages of arms with the Irish members he
has been better tactican, since he has been
less sensitive to criticism. Mr.. Forster, having
a genial manner and sympathetic nature, was
constantly tortured by his prosecutors, the
sharp-tongued and inquisitive parnellites. Mr..
Balfour is not q Chief Secretary who can be
easily drawn in debate. He is typical

can recall none who asked for money in the
shirt Of Richard Wagner. Just as strong as
his belief that he had come to achieve great
reform in the lyric art, was his conviction that
the world owed him a living, and even sumpt-

out his mission. Doubtless many others have
felt something Of the same sort, but it needed
