no STREET CARS IN FTFTH-1TE.

That fruitful source OF woes unnumbercd,"
Mr. Timothy "Dry-Dollar' Sullivan, has in
trcduced bill at Albany to permit the con-
sruction of a street railroad in Fifth.ave be-
low Forty-third- st. 1t is well known on all
sides that Mr. Sullivan is not influenced by
public spirit or by desire to benefit the COM
munity in putting forth such measure. There
is no general demand for a railroad in Fifth
ave- The community is not clamoring for such
line. In fact, the opposition to any such
scheme is formidable in numbers and i'm
pressive in character. Mr.. Sullivan is not seek
ing to crafty his " deestrict'' by proposing this
Job. Few of his constituents are ever seen in
Fifth-ave., and when the refuse Of the dram
shops, which Mr. Sullivan chiefly represents,
drifts into that pant of the town it is not with
any innocent purpose. Some Of our baseball
mines were severely criticised last year on the
ground that they were weak in striking talent.
II Mr. Sullivan would join any of these mines
that deficiency would promptly disappear
Fifth ave. should remain free from car lines.
It should be left undefaced and undefled by
car tracks, and its beauties and attractions
should remain unimpaied. 1t is the chief

The Senate spent some time yesterday IN
talking about the bill requiring railway conf
panies to adopt uniform automatic couplers and
train brakes, but made no progress toward iegs-
lation on this important question The sub
iect has been repeatedly recommended to Con
g.ess by President Harrison in his annual mes
sages and Mr.. Chandler made good point
Yesterday by reminding the Democratic mem
bers that the platform of the last National
Convention of their party favored Legislation
by Congress and State Legislatures to protect
the lives and limbs of railway employees" The
Democrats in Congress evidently consider this
plank in the platform of no moro account than
the one which pronounced the Sherman Silver
at "a cowardly makeshift'' and called for its
speedy repeal"

STEdNGLE THE INTI-SPY BILL.

Some keen observers OF legislation at Albany
say that there is real danger of the passage
of tho so-caled Anti-Spy bill, unless the
reputable journals and the respectable people
Of the State hastev to denouncc it, This bill
was prepared in the interest OF lawbieakers'
and is intended to protect transgreSsorS from
the Just penalties of their misdecds. II 1t
should become 4 law there would be no pCsSi-
bity Of enforcing the Excise law In this city.
Its purpose is to stimulate and encourage liquor
selling on Sundays and at prohibited hours at
night. 1t aims to prevent the procuring OF
evidence against people who disregard and DEFY
tho statutes Never was bill introduced ut
Albany more degraded and depraved in origin
and object.
The infamics of this bill have been eX-
posed repeatedly in the press. NO legislator
with any respect for law or with any self
respect can afford to champion it, to vote Tor
il. or even to tolerate it. 1t is the piaInest
duty of every member of the Legislature to
have nothing to do with it.

The majority in the Senate at Albany give
signs Of taking another step to add to the bad
reputation already made by body tainted with
fraud ct the beginning of its existence. Sen
stor Hasan is III, and it may be some time be-
fore he is able to take his seat again. This
leaves the Democrats with only sixteen votes,
and they need seventeen in order to pass their
bills In these circumstances, what more natsl-
raj than for the majority to think of ousting
. Republican member and putting Democlat
in his place There arc two contests pending.
That one of them will be pressed to an early
acknowledgements Of couwc-seems as
probable as it would be characteristic.
