What The Grand Jury recommends Is that the
companies be required to keep a man constantly
stationed on the rear Platform, who's" sole duty
shall be TO give the signals for stopping and
starting. while The conductor does nothing but
collect fares. This is IN excellent suggestion.
The conditions Of travel Oh larG" cablc-cars make
such division Of duties necessary Tor the SAi''y
Of travellers: and this is equally true of TIA" big
trolley-carS which are much used IN Brooklyn.
1t Is plain however. that the extra man on III"
rear platform is not needed at all hours of day
and night when only few passengers are on
board the conductor can easily do all he is now
required to do when his car is packed from door
to door The companies will not, of course.
| adopt the suggestion Of the Grand Jury unless
they are compelled TO do so. To accomplish this
legislation will probably be necessary, and the
matter should he taken in hand promptly. The

Recorder Golf has made a sensible charge to
the Grand Jury. urging them to attend strictly
to their business and not consume the time Of
witnesses ncedlessly Some things said by him
are accepted as referring to the pending contro-
verSy in the General Sessions Court. Assuming
that they were so intended, there is nothing in
his words with which any one can find fault. 1t
is certainly not the duty of the Grand Jurors TO
take any part I'm this controversy, or to be infiu
cnced by what may be said regarding it In the
public prints. Their duties are well defined, and
as most Of them have served In this capacity be-

promptly and to the satisfaction of the public
The Blanket Ballot bill introduced by Senator
Raines has been pronounced all right in point
Of constitutionality by the Statutory Revision
Commissioners, and will be pushed forward nj
once In the Senate 1t will be exceedingly I'M
fortunate II a satisfactory measure on this sub
;ect is not enacted at this session. We cannot
believe that the Republican majority will fail 10
do rs duty and redeem the pledges repeatedly
made in party platforms. The pending bill has
many excellent features If amended in one or
two points it would be a better bill than It Is
now. A perfect measure on this subject any
other, is scarcely TO be looked for, but the advo-
Gates Of the Raines measure would do wisely to
heed the suggestions Of the men who have studied
the question Of ballot reform thoroughly, and
adopt such Of them as are found practicable.
Some wellknown lawyers and physicians Of
high standing have drawn up bill for the aboli-
ton of the office of Coroner when the terms OF
