HORSE CARS, ALSO.
Cab Q Cars Not Alone Lacking in
Ordinary Accommodations.
Demand that the Slower Vehicle
Service Shall Be Improved.
A Few Observations on the Disco
forts of Compulsory Victims.

While attention has been to a great
lines of the city in THE Evening
Worlds" fight for better travelling ac-
commodations for the public, they are
by no means the only offenders in this
respect.
There is not a street-car line in the
city, and this includes all the cross
town lines, which does not pursue the
same system, so far as 1t is able to
do so, of overcrowding its cars, and Civ
ing the least possible accommodation TO
the public. The putting on of extra
cars is thing not to be thought Of so
long as the ordinary run Of traffic can
be taken care of with those operated
on the regular schedule time.
This is the case with the Second ave-
Grand street, Fourteenth street and
Twenty-third street cross-toWn lines,
the Boulevard cars and the Belt line.
Every morning and evening the cars on
those lines are packed to their utmost
limit, and whenever passengers who
have secured places inside the car are
to be let off. stop of several minutes
must be made while the front or rear
emptIes itself, and rnally. when the
passenger energies from the crush, he
must regard himself as lucky II his
clothing has not been torn from his
back.
People who live up along the west
side In the vicinity OF Riverside Drive
have special grievance against the
Boulevard line for this reason. The
cars. themselves are uncomfortably
small ill-smelling and dirty, and when
they are. damned full Of people on a
hot, stuffy evening. or during a rain
storm, like that Of the past week. they
offer the most wretched accommoda-
lions to the traveller imaginable.
Thousands of people are fairly COM
PEELED to use these cars to reach their
homes, because the elevated stations in
that portion of the city are far apart, and
so far east that to patronize them would
necessitate a long tramp. They find II
much more convenient and less tedious
to take the Boulevard cars for Forty
second street-that is, those who have
occasion to travel during the middle of
the day, but when the rush hours come
II Is very problematical IL those adj
vantages are secured. .
Tie cars are run at such long in
tervals that II rarely happens that two
are in sight at the same time, and the
chance of getting a seat in one of them
at such times Is practically nil.

"OLD GLORY

The small boys in the gallery of the
Columbus Theatre last night shouted
| themselves hoarse with enthusiasm at
the heroics of "Od Glory" which is
described as "a story OF our bluejackets
in Chilli" rewritten and adapted from
the original of Messrs. Pettitt and Mer-
rift by Charles T. Vincent and William
A. Brady There Is quite a medley Of
names connected with the play, but
they are quite unnecessary. "Old Glory

THE DEMOCRATIC SITUATION.

Ex-Secretary William C. whitney
sailed yesterday on the Majestic and is
now on his way home.
OF course Mr.. Whitney's return will
give rise to many rumors, and his name
Will be at once associated by the Cos
sips with the Democratic nomination
for Governor. There are many reasons
why the ex-Secretary would make an
acceptable candidate. But there Is no
reason whatever to believe that he has
changed his mind as to remaining en-
tirely out OF political life, for the pres
ent at least, and there are many rea-
sons why he should decline to re-enter
the field just now. His presence and
counsel will, however be valuable to
his party in the campaign, and every
Democrat Will be pleased at his return.
The gratifying feature about the stu
ati0L IL, that while the Republican
Convention was mere farce. the mem
bers Of which were under orders to
indorse what their boss had already
done in their name. the Democrats go
to Saratoga uncommitted, uninstructed
and free to do whatever is considered
best for the people and best for their
party in the nominations. The Repub-
lican delegates were Platt's chattels.
The Democratic delegates are free
agents.
The party has such excellent material
to select from that 1t cannot go wrong
In making its nominations, provided 1t
desires good government and looks to
the honor and prosperity of the State
rather than to political and partisan
advantages. Its candidates will at least
be the free choice of n party and not
the creatures of a boss.
II the Democrats act wisely and hon
estly the State will remain Democratic.
Honest ballots will prove more power

A REAL UNION.

The politicians are of course opposed
to the Committee OF Seventy. They can
not attack the character OF its members,
who are among the most prominent of
our business men, and so they resort
to ridicule to belittle their work. They
ask how many OF the Committee want
office. and they assert that at least
twenty OF the Seventy will go to the
polls, provided election day Is fine and
there is no crowding at the ballot-box.
This is all nonsense. 1t is not likely
that any member of the Committee will
be named for office, and the whole sew
enty will doubtless register and vote.
If the Republicans and all the smaller
anti-Tammany organizations, like the
Good Government Clubs, the Grace
Democracy. the O'Bren Democracy and
the SteCkler Democracy. should unite
with the Committee OF Seventy and
agree on single opposition local ticket

NO CHANGE IN METHODS.
Adams Express Co.'s New President
VIII Preserve the Old Policy.

l.. C. Weir, the newly-elected Presi-
dent OF the Adams Express Company,
formally took up the reins Of manage
ment to-day. He said to an Evening
World' reporter:
My election to the Presidency OF the
Company does not mean a reorganiza-
ton. or change of management in
any particular. There will be no re-
movals in any department on my &C
count, and things will go on as they
have been going"
The fact that John Hoey, when about
to be forced out of the Company in 1891,
voted for Mr., Weir for President in
stead OF for Mr.. Henry Sanford. the
retiring executive officer led to the ru-
NOR that Mr., Sanford had been turned
Hoey's friend, but Mr. Sanford put a
quietus upon that rumor by stating that
he had also voted for Weir in 1891.
As matter of fact, Mr.. Weir has been
practically President for two months
past, since he took the place, of Vice
President Lovejoy who is. slowly re.
