had fallen to the ground. The
negro had gottcn down from the

the iron post, with the result as

SEPARATE COACHES.
Washington Press

NdouihSioh liSoo'
1t seems generally understood
that our next Legislature will bring
this subject up for action. -
Heretofore, I'VE lave been thor
ough!y satisfied that such Legislation
would be advisable and in harmony
with our National law on the subject
of equal rights, and of late days Y
have given the matter some thong |
which, coupled with a goodly shate
of practical experience, convlnces Is
that it is not orly right, but a duty
of the legislature to pass such lay
as insures to each race whites ana
negroes all conveniences and cons
forts of travel, alike, but separate
and apart from each other. 1t res
quires no argument to convlence a
travelling man that this would be eA,--
tremely proper and render it per-
fectly safe for l4dy to travel in or
through the State without beng suh-
| iected to the dlsagreeable scenes and
rude language of the "mlxea
COACH" We do not allude to the
better element Of negroes. AS n
rule, they are the most orderly and
quiet of passengers, but in admitting
these, the doors are thrown open t.
that class of brutes who recognize
no surroundings as check On villain
ous language or rude and bolsterous
conduct. Whether or not It is in
the power of railroad officials to
command order and protect our la%
dies from such experience, we are
not prepared to say, but we cav
safely say that If separate coaches
are provided, police regulations
would hardly be necessary except in
the matter of what is known as the
railroad hog" This animal is usu-
ally white aud for that reason, more
Disgusting, because he should kno-
better. This clog" needs atten
ton of the legislature also. liz
Should be required to~tonyra0o ma.
self in decent and orderly manner
or the conductor be empowered b.
law to kick him off the train. Th
"hog" swears, drinks, INDUCES j
loud, long and boisterous laughter
swings his feet over the arm of seat,
ye'ls out to some acquaintance at til
other END OF the car, tells yulga
yarns, and occupies four scats--aI
of this in the presence Of ladies' an,
to the discomfort of perhaps tift
, other passengers. In the absence o
police regulations to correct thi
"hog" nuisance, let the legislatur
while providing separate coaches 70
the races, provide q separate "ho!
coach" as well. And provide that, i
by accident, hog should get int
the wrong coach, the conductor shal
have authority to remove him to hi
pen.

PACTs vs. RHETORIC.

President CHAUNoEY NJ. DEPEw is well
worth the enormous salary paid him by
tho New York Central Railroad Com
pany. His beautiful rhetoric, apparent
candor and charming heartiness Of
manner often succeed even against
solid reasoning and iudisputable argument.
His course throughout the various inves-
LEGATIONS of the tunnel horror of Feb. 20th
has been consistent in this respect. His
method OF fighting is admirable from an
artistic standpoint.
First Of all, he has admitted that his
Company is very anxious indeed to make
the tunnel safe, and then says that it can
II willing to try any experiments at
lighting, and electric lights are put in
seemingly to show that they are impracti-
cal, Then he says that smoke and steam
cannot be got out Of the tunnel on foggy
days. On any fine day, conditions be-
ing favorable, he will send any one
through the tunnel to see how safe 1t Is.
After listening TO Mr. DEPEw one Is apt to
go away with the impression that the
New York Central is the most abused
corporation in the world, and the Fourth
Avenue Tunnel cannot be improved.
But here are tho facts: Without me-
chanical ventilation any lighting system is
bound to be failure. On foggy days the
air is stagnant in the tunnel, and the smoke
and steam, which are far more dense than
the fog, combine with 1t and form pitchy
blackness impossible to penetrate. On
foggy or any other days this smok.
and steam can be exhausted from
the tunnel by proper appliances. o.
some very clear days the centra

NO DOUBT OF HIS SANITY.

Trial by jury is one Of the safeguards OF
society. but the action of jurymen is some
times almost incomprehensible. One
OF the jurors who tried Stephan
and brought in verdict of murder in the
second degree. has written to the District
Attorney the proceedings In the jury
box. sTEPHANI had disputed with
ez-Judge REYNOLDS, his mothers
lawyer, regarding money matters, and one
day he walked into his Office and shot him
down in colo blood.
Insanity was the defense, and the young
man let his hair grow, raved, and did
everything in his power to convince the
jury that he was mentally unsound.
II be was sane there could be no doubt Of
premeditation, and the crime was murder
In the first degree.
According to the District Attorneys in
formant, after the jury went out the first
ballot taken was upon the mental condi
ton of STEPHANI. The twelve men
unanimously decided that he was sane
and In spite OF this the verdict was murder
In the second degree. 1t looks as If tn
Electrical Execution law may prove q curl
on capital punishment.
