a BILL has been introduced in the
Senate TO prohibit members Of that body
from specializing in stocks, the prices OF
which may be affected by their own
votes. The simple statement that such
a bill has been introduced into the
highest legislative branch of the govern
ment shows palmer than words can ex-
press the condition the country has
reached. Why, in the earlier and bet
ter days of the republic such a thing
would have been inconceivable. It
would have been deemed gross per
sonal insult to the members Of that
body, as it woiild have implied that
their votes were not disinterested. But
now it excites no special wonder.

IT Is hardly conceivable that Con-
eress, democratic in both branches,
should be 50 fatuous as TO adjourn
without passing some sort of tariff bill
in place of the existing Mckinley mon
strosity, that puts double price on al
most every thing poor people have to
buy. Any thing will be better than
that bill, and without something else,
the people will be, and only naturally,
Disguised with party that then will
have broken its promise to them three
times in succession.

AS EXPECTED, it is now charged that
the expenditure of the large amount Of
money that was in the treasury of the
A. r. U. has not been accounted for
satisfactorily. But luxurious hotels,
Havana cigars, champagne, diamonds,
and gold watches and chains come
high, and an overlooking treasury is q
great temptation.

THE President certainly didn't do
any credit either to his sincerity or his
common sense by his recent letter to
Congress on the tariff bill, for, though
he now says he deprecated the incor-
poration of the income tax in that bill, "
he Individually permitted the impress
sion that he was in favor of such tax,
to remain uncorrected; and it is no less
certain that the tax referred to is by
far the most popular provision in the
whole bill, and, by many of the wiser
men Of all parties, is deemed the best.

CABLE AND HORSE CAR CRASH.
Men and Women Thrown Into q
Confused Mass.
Careless Gripman Of the Third Ave-
nue. Road Caused 1t.

Two street railroad cars were in COL
lision at 9 o'clock this morning at the
intersection Of the Bowery and Houston
street, and the passengers were panic
stricken for time.
A crosstown car. crowded with people,
had come to halt to allow a Third
avenue cable car, bound south, to pass.
Another cable car came bowling along
up the Bowery. the gripman, o doubt,
feeling assured that the downtown car
would have passed and the crosstown car
be moving along ere he should reach the
spot.
He made no effort SO far as was APP
parent, to check the cars speed until
he realized. when only few rods away.
that a collision was inevitable.
The downtown car suddenly stopped
to allow passenger to alight, blocking
the crosstown Track. When the grip
man of the moving car loosened the
grip and applied the brake. the wheels
slid along on the muddy rails, and the
car bumped into the horsepower We
hicle with considerable force.
Men and women on both cars were
thrown in a confused, struggling, yell
ing heap. A few, anticipating the crash,
jumped off in time to save themselves.
No one was seriously inbred, but there
was a terrible despoilaton of carefully
arranged female toilets, and gaping
rents in nice garments. Both cars were
somewhat damaged.

STRAND OF THE CABLE BROKE
Long Delay of Travel on the Third
Avenue Road.

Shortly after II o'clock this morning
strand of the Third avenue cable broke,
causing long delay. At . o'clock the
break had not been fully repaired.
The loose strand was first detected
In the power-house. according to one Of
the cable inspectors. The cable was
stopped at once, and the work Of re-
pairing the track begun. When that de-
feet was remedied 1t was found that the
cable had slipped from some Of the
many revolving wheels at the Post
Office curve. in such a fashion as to
prevent the grip taking hold Of 1t.
Workmen were at once dispatched to
the scene Of the trouble with crowbars
and other appliances to adjust the cable.
While this work was going on horses
were used to drag the cars along the
curve from the Post-Office to the corner
Of Spruce street and Park Row.
1t Is fortunate that the broken strand
was discovered so promptly; as had its
threads become entangled in the brakes
of the cars erious injury might have
been done to man and vehicle. It is
not so long since broken strand caught
in the cable of a Broadway car and car
ried 1t, with everything before 1t, the
length Of the entire section. In this in
stance, however the only injury re-
suited in loss Of time and temper on the
part OF cable passengers.
