The New Car Ticket Criticised.

10 tne FultOr OF lHE LINES.
"A bill requiring the street railway companies
of the District to issue new tickets to each pas
senger was passed in the House yesterday
TINES, April 10.
If any doubt has existed that the presen
House of Representatives contains more law
making cranks than members Of common dis
cretion this new ticket nonsensical act ough
to remove all doubts as to the status of our hon
orable VI. CS With as much sense and propriety
the House could enact law that conductor
of street car in making change shall give to
the receiver greenback bill that has been used
the second or third time. i would like to read
the speech on the argument advanced by the
honorable member who offered and supported
the supremely ridiculous new ticket bill
Permit me to quote a few lines that will apply
to congressional law-making cranks:
at is sport to a fool to do mischief PROV
Y,
Livery fool will be ,neddling Xxx, g.
II said unto the fools, make no foolish conten-
ton "-Psa. LXXV, 4.
mo creature smarts so little as fool Pope
They fool me to the top my bent"-Hamet.
The saddest feature Of the new ticket humbug
If it becomes a law. is the melancholy fact that
scores of poor, industrious and worthy females,
who, from the time the street were in
troduced as public conveyance, have been en-
ployed at living salaries to put up in small enye-
lopes the tickets furnished at reduced price
With great fidelity and care they have carried ont
the instructions of the companies to assert and
separate the good and clean for public use, while
all SHOWING the least defect by wear or other
imperfections are destroyed. So careful are the
six tickets incloSed in the miniature envelopes
that not one instance in ten thousand have been
found deficient of the true number or unfit for
the most DELICATE pair Of fingers 70 handle
William Shnkespeares description of this class
of performers is profuse:-
''PToud man.
Drest in little brief authority.
Most ignorant of what he's most assurd-
Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven
As makes angels weep"
This new ticket scheme looks very much like
an enterprise started by some printer or specrl-
lator out OF a job, willing to pay n generous
bribe to secure the contract to furnish the mill
lions OF tickets the new system will call for-some
Iago,who is anxious to put money in his purse =
at the sacrifice of the interest of the street cer
companies, and at the ruin of scores of poor and
needy women. D. TURNER
