To TIE EDITOR OF THE sUN-sir, BY its
mastery studies OF the two-leCRed hogs who
infest the ierryboats and street cars TIE BUN
has done a great deal TO reduce the number OF
animals OF that Kind as well as to satisfy those
who have suffered from their swlnish be-
havior. But there Is another kind OF hog to
which wish to call TIE Suns sttentlon-an
official hog a hog in uniform. hog that works

munity than the civilian hog and one that II

can pierce his thick hide and send the nret
sensations Of shame to his microscopic and
leathery heart
This new and terrible two-leRRed hog IL the
creature who has been developed on the ele-
waited railway. on the BROOKLYN Bridge rail-
way. In the ferry houses. and. indeed. wher-
ever mean spirit and . surly nature have
been invested with q little authority. and made
to feel tenn porarily secure and able to exhibit
the etiquette Of the pig pen with impunity be-
fore the public. hope and pray that The Bun
will turn its blazing rays upon this biped. and
that IL will instruct its corps OF writer's to pill

racing across the waiting room just as the
bell has runE for the closing OF the gate.
The hog knows. Just as we'll as the belated pas
senRer does. that no one else will hurry the de-
parturs OF the boat. Its chains must be re-
leased. It's gAngplanks must be drawn back.
many other things must be put In resdi-
ness for the reversal OF all the ma
ohinery Of the ferry before the engine ID
to pull the boat away. The hog knows also
that the boat is run 10 meet q trsin-perhaps

should be numerous there because their sal

to be much more watchful and particular than
