When one contemplates the sudden aDanuonHe"'
OF the bin to regulate the speed of the trolley cars
In Brooklyn. the most natural reflection. perhaps
Is: "If it was so soon done for, what was II
begun for ?" Mr.. Lauterbach, who appeared De
fore the Senate Committee Railroads on IueS-
day TO advocate a favorable report on the measure
frankly admitted that he came as representative
OF the elevated railroads but no sooner had he got
fairly launched or his argument than he executed
a right -about-faCe. declared that he had no nope
even of a favorable report the bill. and TO al IN

as well before the bill was drawn up as he ala al

whom ne represents. would bring about a reducl0h

to take such action If it has due regard Tor the
wishes of the people at large. Evidences or
change of sentiment in reference to the trolley cars
are not sCanty and II is undeniabe that the nunDer

Some people are hard to please. Among them are
those dwelling in streets through which trolley cars
run OF course they were opposed TO the running
OF such cars in the first place. Then. too the cars
do NOT run to suit them. one of their inalienable
privileges, in their opinion. Is that Of getting
on and off cars right in front Of their doors. and
some Of them writing to the local papers to
fnd fault with one of the companies. which refuses
to stop its for passengers at every point but
has only a single stopping place in the middle OF
long blocks These fault-hnders object TO walking
few steps either TO the point indicated by the com
pany to the nearest street corner. and think 1t
a great hardship do forgetting entirely that
the great majority OF their fellow-citiZens think
nothing of walking three or four times as , far IN
order TO reach a line elevated railroad
station. Such people, II they CHANGED 70 live on the
line of elevated road. would insist on having the
trains stop for their benefit in front OF their sec

the company 10 build bridges that they could
