MEN AND MdCUINES.

President Sloan, after casual study of the
rules of the company, can find no one 10 blame
for the accident on the Lackawanna road eX-
cept the engineer Of the second tram. The
rules certainly convict the engineer whose train
ought to have been running slowly in approach
do they involve condemnation Of the brakeman
of the first train, who lost his wits instead Of
warning the approaching train. The president
Of the company Is careful TO explain that the
block system has not been considered ncccs-
sary, because man Is superior TO Il machine"
this accident who were not superior TO ma
chine. The responsibility is divided between
them. the engineer having the larger share.
Public opinion will undoubtedly be lcnicnt In
its Judgment, because the Laclawanna Is n
well managed line and accidents have been In
frequent on the Morris and Essex division;
but the officials will do well after this fright
full accident to consider seriously the eypediency
Of introducing the block system Of signalling
1t may be Il machine dependent upon the fldel-
ity and vigilance of the men In the watch
towers but what else Is the system of rules
upon which they lay stress? II the regulations
had been followed, the engineer OF the second
train would not have been running ut high
speed toward the drawbrdge, nor would the
brakeman Of the first train have neglected his
duty; but the men were inferior to the ma
chine and the passengers were slaughtered The

r logical result Of Mr. Wilson's admission

felt that they could not afford TO tell their con-

pocket the plumber on another years production.

country would probably gain little If any bene-

months would be worse than reduction or re-

FIFTH-1TE. FOR THE PEOPLE.

The movement to reserve Fifthave. for nght
traffic during certain hours of the afternoon
i'm certain months of the year, which has miner
10 failed rather through accident than design,
has been revived, and bill to accomplish the
object I'm view has been introduced again in the
LEGISLATURE. There Is no apparent reason why
it should not be promptly passed. 1t provides
that between the hours OF and p. M, from
October 10 June /. vehicles carrying merchan
disc shall be excluded from the avenue OK
ccpting for the necessary purpose Of delivering
goods on the avenue, and that for that purpose
they shall have access TO 1t only through the
nearest cross street. 1t seems scarcely neces-
sary 10 say that this prohibition Is not pro
posed in the interest of any class or condition.
since no such objection to 1t is we believe, sug
ccstcd in any quarter. The owners OF trucks
and other vehicles which its adoption would
exclude from Fiftl-avc. at the hours when thar
great thoroughfare is most frequcnted by the
peoplc are among the advocates Of the restric-
ton. and always have been. There can be no
doubt that the diversion Of heavy traffic to
other streets would greatly promote the con-
venicncc and enjoyment of the multitude who
continually use Fifth-ave. as a promenade ana
an approach to Central Park. And the sacr-
flee which the few are expected TO make Tor
rho benefit Of the many would be very slight.
Inasmuch. therefore, as the proposition is in
,rinscally sensible. Is heartily supported and.
50 far az we know entirely unoppoScd, there
ought 10 be no delay on the part of the Legs
mturc in putting it into effect
