A FALSE PLEA.

mot guilty" said the blood-stain ed
Trolley Company when called to the bar
Of the Brooklyn Criminal Court yes-
tertlay to plead to the charge OF man
slaughter for killing Mrs. Mary Med
niger.
The Company was indicted for this
crime by the Grand Jury only through
the persistent and earnest efforts Of
1.-THE Evening World" The Indictment
charges only one killing. Indictments
might have been found and ought to
have been found against the murderous
Trolley for slaughtering ever one hum
dred victims.
mot guilty" Though the crushed
and mangled body of the poor woman
has not been much over month in
Its bloody grave.
mot guilty." Though over a hun

the Trolley. might have been laid before
the eyes Of the jurymen to give the
plea the lie.
mot guilty." And the cruel corpora
ton that made this false response mani
tested not the slightest uneasiness or
remorse. looked upon the whole pro-
ceedings as a Joke, and was ready to
laugh over the idea OF responsibility.
1t Is 10 be hoped the jury will treat
the plea as 1t ought to be treated. II
can only punish the Company through
its pockets. but that Is a punishment Il.

The Single Tux VIII Save Us mt
Last.

To the Editor:
W A. Day may be right in his contention
that the money question cannot be settled till
We get the single tax but It must be disposed
OF, at least temporarily, before that time II is
safe to assume that the tariff deficiency will
have to be made good most probably by In
creased duties. including protection for wool
growers, and that other industries will demand
and sc. Ike increased duties-protect!on for
revenue only. Undoubtedly many members OF
the next Congress- now comparatively poor men,
will round out their terms in comparative anu
ence-the result OF revenue for protection
only. Another bond issue looms up with prom
Isss OF millions in it-for Wall street. But all
the time the condition OF labor will be seen
to grow steadily worse. until an awakened pub
lie conscience perceiyes the uselessness OF the
whole blamed business-and then single tax will
come. The hope of the slnsletaxer is that all
the ,ther remedies get speedy trial. The
sooner will their inadequscy be proved, and the
true. the sovereign remedy be put In operation.

BY John Oliver Hobbies. entitled, in a

ham" is Anne Delaware. an extremely
naughty young person, who mas various
'pasts" ana d)n'a't reform. In fact,
ahe continues to enjoy pasts in the pres
ent, and is therefore even a shade more
advanced than the herOnes OF Henry
Arthur Jones and oscar While. John
Oliver Hobbies, being a woman, Is nat
urally inclined to go male authors one
better. and Anne Delaware IL just about
as unlovey as sensational woman
could make her.
There IL no moral in this seven named
book. 1t doesn't boast Of a purpose. The
author has not the faintest desire to
right any wrongs, or plead any cause.
Her intention Is merely to wallow in the
intricac.cs OF style" and naughtiness.

broad -shouldered dhey always are), and.

Dane was my lover for a who.e year, and
for money-money-mo he doesn't

He declines to admit her to wifedom,
but-oh! the idiot-hc feels just trifie
sorry for her, and while she lies on her
solitary cot he kisses her brow, and
murmurs, Poor little girl!' Such n
hero Is very trying. but John Oliver
evidently thinks that he Is rather neat.
She analyses him a good deal After
the "Poor little girl!' episode, he takes
Ammo to Paris. and they live together as
friends, and nothing more. She is very
