The Court Of Appeals yesterday
affirmed the judgment of the Orange
Circuit of the Supreme Court giving
WILLIAM n. ALBERT $26, 403 damages
for serious injuries received by him on
the New York, Lake Eric and Western
Railroad. The accident was a singular
one. Mr.. ALBEIT was n passenger
and had a place on the front end ola
sleeper. A swinging door on n passing
train crashed through the side of the
sleeper, injuring the passenger so scri-
ously rs to cause paralysis. The de-
Tense was n denial of neglect. But the
plaintiff was awarded the damages
named and the Court Of Appeals atilrms
the judgment. In another case in
which the Superior Court refused DAM
ages to n newsboy who was kicked
from the platform of n Sixth Avenue
Railroad car by the conductor and fall
ing under another car was run over and
injured, tho Court of Appeals rcvcrscs
the Judgment and orders n new trial.
Both these decisions will teach railroad
companies the wisdom of being more
careful Of the rights of passengers and
people.

A PLANT OF INJUSTICE

The Elcctric-LiCht Companies com
plain OF injustice. They have been
persistent and high-handcd workers Of
injustice wei since the first hour Of
their corporate existence.
Under protection Of Judge ANDREws's
c~omplacency they strung a lot Of wires
in direct violation of law and in a man.
ner forbidden by the rules Of the Board
of Electrical Control.
They now bitterly complain because
the city's agents are tearing their wires
down, and they allcge that they are
safe wires, being properly insulated.
To this plea the answers arc many
and conclusive.
The wires are not safe. No wire
carrying n current Of 5000 volts over
head is safe or can be made so. Storm
or sleet or accident may break 1t and
make 1t murderous at any moment.
The companies made themselves law
breakers when they strung these wires.
They have no right to profit by their
law-breaking, even though they have
properly insulated the Illegally hung
wires.
1t is the right and duty Of the city's
officers to remove Nil wires which
menace the safety Of the people. All
wires which carry high voltage cur
rents do so menace the people every
moment, and 1t is the right and duty
of the authorities Il teal them oil down,
whether well or i'll Insulated.
The Electric-Light Companies have
long deticd and %tramplcd upon the
people. The people are in revolt
against the volts and their official rep
%resentntivcs nrc not called upon to
show especially delicate consideration
to the scnsibilities Of these wrong-doers.

NEGROES NORTH AND SOUTH.

The Rev. THEODORE GOULD, q negro
clergyman of Boston, replying to Mr..
GIADY's contention that the negro is as
fairly treated at the South as at the
North, cites the fact that in the cotton
mills of Georgia there are no negroes
employed except at mental occupations.
We do not know how the particular
fact may be, but it certainly has not the
significance which Mr.. GOULD attributes
to it-namely, that malignant prejudice
at the South discriminates against the
negro in ways not known at the North.
At this very moment a strike is in
progress along the New York water
front the sole occasion of which is that
the 'longshoremen refuse to permit the
bosses TO employ negroes to work upon
terms of equality with themselves. 1t
is SO everywhere in the North, the
prejudice being strongest among those
whose work is the least digniiied by
skill.
In the South the majority Of the
negroes are engaged In tilling the soil,
which is not a mental occupation at all.
But apart from that the general fact IL
that negroes are mainly engaged II
meniHl pursuits, whether at the NORTH
or ut the South.
They are cooks, bootblacks, walters

1t is announced that formal charges
have been drawn against two of tho
Dock Commissioners and that u speedy
hearing will be had. The complaint
that the recent investigation was
stopped too soon is unfounded. The
purpose Of the investigation was to
ascertain whether ground existed for
presenting the Commissioner for trial.
1t was in the nature of an ez pdrtc,
Grand Jury proceeding. The Commits
s!oncrs arc now formally indicted. Let
us hope that they will have a fair and
impartial hearing. No matter who is
helped or hurt politically the facts must
he brought out, and up to this time it
must be admitted that the Dock system
has made n most scandalous showing
