Wednesday among the men employed in
erecting the New York Cigar company's

tractors and boss masons yesterday it was
decided TO positively refuse to accede to
this demand. The struggle promises to be
long and bitter one.

Lac CROWDED sTReeT CARS


We have frequently lamented the lack
Of moral perception and the conspicuous
failure of the Morning News to discrimi-
nate between right and wrong, justice
and injustice, good and evil.
These failures are not promptings
of constitutional badness, Of intrinsic
mental incapucity or moral obllqulty
they are the results Of superficial investi-
CATION and narrow prejudices.
We have often lamented that partisan
prejudice induced the News to defend the
obviously indefensible practices of rs
party in the Infamous tariff legislation
it has enacted. in Speaker Reeds unfair
ness and partisanship, but shown chiefly in
defending the actions Of Swiggett, Pierce,
Cotton, Bach, Mshaffy, Harrington and
others which we're manifestly immoral.
but supposed to be beneficial to the Re
publican party.
The News shows the same tendency OF
tenderness toward corporations. II is
always arrayed against the interests OF
the people where there Is even the small,
est accumu laton Of capital. The News
fiocks TO the assistance and succor OF the
strong and rich as gracefully and in
evitable as duck waddles TO pond 1t
does not matter how shallow aud muddy
the water Is the News gets there just the
same as any other undiscriminating duck
When correspondent complained that
the horse cars afforded very insult
cient facilities and that often, as occurred
last night, there were forty or more
people" In one Of those small cars on
Market street. the editor Of the News
rushed to the defence and furnished a
personal explanation as II be were the
chief stockholder, the treasurer or secre-
tary Of the company thus:
When electric cars get to running
down there will be room enough for
every one, even during the most crowded
hours Of the day. Nothing can be done
by the company, however, in the direc-
tion of providing these improved public
accommodations until Speaker Donahoe
signs the act which grants authority 60
the company TO carry out It's ideas ~
Editor The Morning News
Now, the evil exists, and il is not an
editors duty, in the interest Of the
people, to explain, excuse. palllate and
defend the company; it is the duty Of
the editor to call on the company to cor
rect the evil.
The street railways should furnish
more and larger cars after o'clock, es-
pecially on rainy days Last night the cars
going north on Market street were shame
fully insufficient to meet the
demands Of the traffic. II is Of no use,
no benefit, to explain and excuse this
evil. II should be corrected aud
obvlated The interests II the people
should be consulted FIRST and II these
street railway companies cannot make
money by accommodating the people they
should sell out TO others who can.

Sheep Jnterest.
HEAVY SHEARING VERMONT ME-
RlNOS IN MISSOURI

Mr.. /. +. Shattuck of Stanberry, Mo-.
sends us copy of Coman's Rural World
containing an account of public shear
ing held at his place April |, ,, 3 and I.
The result of this shearing shows very
conclusively that it is not necessary to
breed the wool off our imported Spanish
MerinOs to obtain sheep large enough
for mutton or profit. Mr.. Shattuck
commenced but a few years since by
selecting rams and ewes that were
recorded in the Vermont Register; his
stock ram for a number of years was
Joker, bred by j. T. Stickney of Shore
ham. From this ram and eve he
named Model, bred by c. p. Crane,
Brdport, he bred Chance, that weighed
POP lbs. and sheared 30 lbs. and was the
sire of the young sheep shown at the
public shearing mentioned above. Mr..
Shattuck has bred for size. length of
staple and perfect form, "but in no
case has he been led to find them except
in pure blood" The result of Mr.
Shattuck's breeding and developing
from the pure Vermont Merinos with
out any out-cross to get size is certainly
wonderful and should be a lesson to our
Vermont breeders to breed with more
care and not to be too anxious to dissi-
pate their wool by out-crosses to increase
their size. Mr.. Shattuck has shown by
results that heavy feeces can be kept
along with increased size. There were
shown at the shearing in question among
Others the following: Fifteen two-year-
old ewes averaging l39 pounds weight,
SHARED an average of - lbs. each ;
eight rams. two years old or oyer. aver
aging l7G lbs. live weight, sheared to
average 33g lbs. One of these. bred by
). b. James of lIoosick, y. Y. weighed
$50 lbs. and sheared III lbs. These
sheep were sheared at public shearing
one year before. Eleven yearlng rams
were shown. The oldest was dropped
March II. 1890, and about half of them
after April !. 1880. The average live
weight was Il trle over 40 lbs. and the
average of fleeces was - Ill pounds.
The three heaviest averaged 1913 lbs
live weight and sheared 26 lbs. on the
average each Mr.. Shattuck refused an
offer of $500 for one of these and has
sold large number from 500 up to
$500 during the past year. His flock
is recorded in the Register of the Yer
