New York city will not rest content with the
general term decision against its interests in
the Tilden will case. The city has several free
libraries and reading rooms already. but it has
room and patronage for several more, and the
generous provision of an honored citizen for
this end will not be allowed to be dissipated
through other channels without a struggle
The court of appeals will be called upon to re-
view the findings of the courts below. and, if
any means can be devised for bringing the case
to the attention Of the Supreme Court of the
United States, that will be done before the
city's efforts are dropped.

Nobody supposes that engineers deliberately
run amuck with their locomotives through our
city streets. The people of Washington have
right to demand that such policy be pur-
sued by the local authorities and such inves-

OF examining jury that these '.accide nts" may be
reduced to minimum or prevented altogether
Engineers must be warned that any careless
ness contributory to such accidents will not be
tolerated by the public; and a pointed hint
should be given to the railroad companies of
the advisability of getting their tracks above
or below the grade of the public streets.
