CHAPMAN.

] Police Captain Chapman, who does not seem
to be distressed or even annoyed when women
whom his detectives have arrested IN the
streets at night are adjudged innocent in the
morning and released, Is In the habit or warn
ing the Victims Of his Internal activity against
walking abroad after dark or course, Chap-
man knows that his authority stops far short
Of any such decree, but the motive Of bis nso-
lence Is plain enough 1t leaves him to the last
an object Of terror to the helpless women who
have been subjected to abomlnable indignities
nj his inst!gation, and that Is a luxury to man
of his kind Thousands Of women are Ill inc
streets Of New-York at night on crrands OF ne
cessity or pleasure. Most OF them are good
women, but the law does not care whether
they are good or bad so long as they obey II.
Moreover, obedience to the law does not In
clude the highest degree either Of good taste or
prudence. Women have absolutely all the
rights that men have. They are not bound to
proceed silently, looking neither to the right nor
left, as If their lives depended on reaching IL
certain point as soon as possible They are al
perfect liberty to talk and laugh to take any
route they like to stop when they please and
In general to enjoy the freedom of the open air
and all the sights and sounds Of leisure. III
there were no Chapman, discretion should lead
them to avoid the risk of insult or Of misun-
derstanding, but no law compe!s them 10 regu-
late their conduct in such Il manner as TO de-
feat Chapman's brutal ambition.
To a man Of decent feeling the thought that
he was responsible even indirectly. for single
one of the hldeOus blunders which have re-
Gently been committed would be almost insup-
portable. There is not Il particle of evidence
to show that Chapman feels either shame or
regret His demeanor in the face OF over
whemlng proofs that his men under his orders
have COMPOUNDED the innocent with the guilty,
or at least have treated them alike, Is utterly
revolving. Whether 1t proceeds from obtuSc-
ness or malignlty makes little difference. If
he thinks that the conflict Of interests in the
Police Board will protect him for the moment
he may be right. II he supposeS that the peo-
pie Of New-YOrk Will long submit TO his inso
lent tyranny he has much to learn about the
power Of public opinion wher 1t has once been
reused to action.

Victorian age, so far as the poor are concerned
1t is an honorable record. 1t Is noble spirit
The man who enables even one OF his Fellows
TO raise himself from beggary to comfortable
competence, does better than he who ainasses
fortune solely for himself. Great Britain can
boast that It has nmasscd great fortunes IN these
sixty years. But it can even moro proudly
boast that It has extended comfort and COM
petence among the people. The rich may be
growing richer, but the poor are not growing
poorer, any more there than here On the con-
trary, they are growing less poor If that fact
can be emphasized by the two contrasting rune
tions, the Princesss dinner to the poor and the
State ball at the Queens Palace, the day Will
rot in vain have had n place upon the pro-
gramme Of the Jubilee.

A LITTLE BUNCO GAME.

The Metropolitan Traction Companys sins Of
omission and commission are so varied and
continuous as 10 divert attention from the
shortcomings and wrongdoings Of other trans
portation lines. Little has been said of late,
for example, about acknowledgements on the ele-
waited railroads, though we are inclined 10 thlnk
that this Is partly because there has been less
TO complain Of than there formerly was Doubt
less the public comfort has been to some eX-
tent promoted by the diminution Of their traffic,
but besides that there has been an improve
ment In the manners Of the Manhattan en-
ployes suggestive of disposition on the part
Of the managers to cultivate the good opinion
Of the community. Yesterday however, fur
nished 4 new example of an offensive old prac-
tce which the company ought to be ashamed
Of Insecure walls left standing after the
Laght-st fire threatened danger TO elevated
railroad trains passing them. and therefore n
suspension of traffic was properly ordered by
the municipal authorities. In any case, of
course, this would have caused public incon-
venience, but nobody would have had any
reason or much inclination to complain. If per-
sons intending to use the road had been IN
formed Of the facts. But the cOmpany's ser
wants at the various stations, knowing what
passengers as usual, with the result that loaded
trains were stalled all along the line, and the
indignant people who filled them had to st 1t
out or climb down to the footways and walk 10
the nearest station. They were not even al
lowed to do this IN peace, but were subjected
to protests and Interference which only the
| weight Of numbers Overcame. or course, no
fares were returned to the passengers who had
been virtually cheated out Of five cents apiece.
Now, If this isn't just about the meanest and
most impudent little trick which a trnnsporta-
ton MANAGER could possibly devise for the sup
posed profit OF his company and the spollaton
of his customers, we don't know what 1t IS
The elevated railroads have always been OPP
Grated on the theory that 1t paid. 1t doesn't
pay. 1t fills every victim with ill-will toward
! the company, and inspires him with Il deter
| mlnatlon to use It's lines as little as possible
In the long run such practice IS Improbable
1t Is amazing that the Manhattan managers
should think it benefits their treasury. If II
did. It would not be more justlfiable; but since
! 1t is both costly and indecent their persistence
| In It Is astonishing.

Simpson has left the straight and narrow pain
