The
Cruel Knife!

It is absolutely useless to expect a
surgical operation to cure cancer, or
any other blood disease. The cruelty
OF such treatment is illustrated in the
alarming number of deaths which re-
suit from it. The disease is in the
blood, and hence can not be cut out.

Perhaps no stronger proof OF the demand
which the proposed cab and livery cohsollnh-
tion Is expected to supply could nc furnished
than the fact that although the company now
represented as getting on Its feet Is uhlues-
tIonably Trust. nobody has yet denounced
IL rs a hdcous conspiracy against the people,
There are not few individuals who sit up
nights and ruin their health in the renorselcss
pursuit Of Trusts. and from whom In any other
cose than this we should inevitably have heard
long before now. They will probably recover
possession Of their principles within day vi

Law hold of n single maedlction. Inc circu"-
stance Is the more remarkable inasmuch ms the
impending consolidation Is said to be chiehy
based on British gold, which, ms everybody
knows, is still more corrupt and ruthless thah
the native article.
For ourselves we do not hesitate 70 say that
though we are permanently retained 10 snite
the oppressor the prospect held out by the cap
and livery Trust is extremely alluring, and we
even contemplate with sadness the possibility
that the negotiations may fall through. New
Workers have been brought up on the propo
sltion that cheap cab service In their beloved
city was absolutely unObtainablc, owing 10 the
shane of the island and the habits of the pco-
pie We observe with some solcitudc That the
Spokesman for the projected monopoly lays con-
siderable stress upon these disadvantages, even
in the act Of predicting that they can be over
come by means Of the facilities which his prln-
cpals will possess. We remember, further
more that several seemingly honest cndeavors
to demonstrate the contrary have broken down
I'm the most hopeless and humiliating manner.
But we console ourselves with the reflection
that no former enterprise Of this sort has been
nourished on n capital Of S7,000000 excepting
only in the cases of the Pennsylvania and New
York Central companies. whose operations In
this line are strictly limited and whose cir
Cumstances are peculiar
All things considered. therefore, 1t seems TO us
that the people Of New-York. while carefully
chorshing their right to curse Trust when
ever they see fit on general principles, may be
permitted IN this particular instance not merely
10 reserve their final judgment, but for the time
being to assume benevolent attitude toward
the company which promises TO bcstow upon
them the boon Of cheap cabs. And If the prom
Use Is kept. and the cabs are not only cheap but
clean, and well hung and well horsed. 1t may
never be necessary to reverse that attitude.

THE ESCAPE OF MR.. GIBBS.

The person most 10 be congratulated on the
blackballing Of Frederick S. Gibbs in the Re-
publican Club is Frederick S. Gibbs himself, and
he appears to know It. He is not only philo-
sophical but positively cheerful over his defeat
and the circumstances attending II. lie is
quoted ms saying that If the club can afford to
blackbal member of the National Committee
he can stand il. adding: I've had more fun
than little out of this thing. The matter
"of fraud if there is any. is their funeral, not
mine Let them fight it out" Some people
may he inclined to say sour grapes In answer
10 this remark, but We should he inclined TO
think that Mr. Gibbs's Indifference was real
rather than fegnod. II might indeed be posi-
bic that an election to the club would have been
grateful 10 him. and 1t was rot unnatural that
some of his friends in the club under the lash
Of sudden disappointment. should have eXhib-
tied extreme bitterness and a desire to revise
the vote so as to secure the admission of their
candidate. But after having slept they must.
we are persuaded. reconsider their view, adopt
that of Mr. Gibbs and rejoice rather than mourn
that their honorable friend was In the nick Of
time rescued from the bad company into which
they were unconsciously leading him.
The Republican Club IS "A social organization
of gentlemen. II is neither n political caucus
nor q Sunday school In seeking admission to
the club Mr. Gibbs was seeking the society Of
gentlemen If he had wanted exercise in ballot
box stuffng he could have gone to Tammany
Hall and renewed the friendships for which Mr..
Platt once administered corrective admoniion
that brought back Mr. Gibbs to the true faith
And II he wanted n Sunday school he knew the
/ way 10 find one. 1t was social solace that Mr..
Gibbs wanted. and he wanted II. as n gentle
man should, among gentlemen. But after read-
Ing the speeches OF his friends I'm the club and
concluding ms gentleman must do. that they
being his frlends-haye spoken the truth. Mr..
Gibbs could hardly help rejoicing that his social
reputation had escaped injury. 1t would never
do in the world for gentleman like Mr.. Gibbs
10 have any social relations with men who
would stuff ballotbox, particularly men upon
whom the habit was so strongly fixed that they
stuffed the ballOt-box in n gentlemen's club.
We have heard of persons who committed per.
jury like gentlemen. but It seems 10 us some
thing new among the accomplishments needed
for good society TO be able to stuff ballot boxes
like a gentleman.
But perhaps we are n little behind the times
in this matter. Several ideas Of club etiquette
were expressed at the meeting which Mr. Gibbs
declares was not his funeral that struck us as
novel and perhaps n gentleman ballot-box

always supposed that a social club was or
ganizaton Of persons who respected one. an
other and enjoyed one anothcrs company. and
that new members were admitted because they
were congenlal TO those already belonging to the

RUSSTA'S FINANCIAL STRAITS.

The talk about the placing OF n great Rus
sian loan in this country may or may not be
well founded. 1t at any rate serves to call at
tenton to the financial dlstresses Of the Mus
covte Empire, which will probably compel the
placing Of n foreign loan somewhere at an early
date. Not for many a year has the Russian
Treasury been in so bad a strait rs at pres
ent Despite the Emperor's pacific rescrpt
the work Of increasing the navy and. indeed,
the whole military establishment goes on with
feversh haste, and with not the least regard
to economy. Millions are appropriated for
ships and guns with the easy assurance Of the
owner of Fortunatus's purse. But the imperial
Treasury by no means resembles that tabled
source Of wealth. On the contrary 1t is sorey
depleted, and despite the best efforts Of one Of
the ablest Finance Ministers in Europe. n reve
nue. sufficient to replensh Il fails 10 come In.
There Is. indeed, serious falling off OF reve-
nue. owing to the prevalence OF plague and
famine In dozen great provinces in the
heart Of the empire including some Of the best
revenue producers, the twin scourges have so
smitten the people that not n cent Of revenue
will be contributed by them this year. but. on
the contrary. they will be dependent upon the
bounty Of the Treasury for DEMONSTRATING aims

industrial depression, so that despite the heavy

new taxes. the years revenue Will fall consd-
erably below the average The empire will, OF
course weather the crisis In some way.
realm as rich as Russia does not become bank
rupt But for the time being it Is not easy to
see how a foreign loan can he avoided. unless
the Increase OF ornaments is suspended and OF
that there is certainly no prospect.
Not n little interest attaches 10 the new IN
dustra tax which has lately been imposed
and which Is causing much dissatisfaction
among those upon whom 1t falls. 1t IS I'm
posed upon both the capital stock and the earn
ings and profits Of jont-stock companies and
upon foreign corporations doing business IN
Russia as well as upon Russian concerns
There has in recent years been n great boom"
in the formation Of such companies IN Russia,
largely by French, Belgian and other foreign
capitalists. Within eight years. 1t IS reckoned,
there have been established IN South Russia
alone corporations with an aggregate OF over
5000. 900. 900 capital. And these are generally
prosperous in n high degree, paying from IL 70
20 per cent clear profit every year. SUCH con-
Germs are naturally most attractive objects OF
taxation. and they can no doubt contribute
largely 10 the revenues Of the empire without
hardship 10 themselves. They are grumbling
against the new tax however. and even threat
ening 10 60 out Of business. We shall see
whether they fulfil such threats or not. and
whether the new tax results in m Increase
or revonuo or IN n decrease and depression OF
business.

SrRErrcARS. GOOD AND BAD.

Let there be no mistake and no Illusions about
the latest move In the case Of the Nassau Com
nanys "cotln-cars" Some OF those abomlnable
vehicles are being withdrawn and the old-sfyle
boxcars are being restored in their place. That
would be well if IT were done in good faith but
there is reason to suspect that 1t Is not done IN
GOOD faith The boycars will be run nj infre-
uucnt intervals, SO as TO cause excessive crowd

time for one to come along. and then II will be
so full that they cannot get on II, If indeed 1t
stops to let them try. OF course there will he
much dissatisfaction and many protests And
then the Nassau managers will say, "See. The
"peoplc don't like the boxcars rs well rs the
"sidc-door cars" and will put on the coilin-cars
again That is the little game. But II Is being
PLAYED so palpably that the public Will not be
deceived by il. The agitation against the dead
opon and shut denominations should he kept up
and the ordinance absolutely prohibiting the usc
of them should be adopted and enforced Only
In that way will the public be made secure
against this mos: detestable imposition.
There IL. Of course no more idle and impudent
pratencc conceivable than that the "coiiin-cars'
were put into use with a view OF serving the
public comfort and welfare. They were de-
signed and made and put into use solely for the
purpose of lessening the expenses and thus in
crcaslng the profits of the roads; and the job
was done in the true "pubc-be damned spirit
Of disregard and contempt for the welfare and
rights of the people. If the Nassau Company
wanted 10 provide cars that would give greater
seating capacity than the old boxcars 1t would
not have far to look for good examples. 1t

THE ANTI-SCALPING BILL.

larious ana demoralizng practice OF ticket
scalplng. For several sessions an effort ha S
peen mao" IN Congress TO check by legislation
the growing evils Of this egitma;e traffic in
the different kinds of passenger Transportation
issued by the railroads Heretofore under
various pleas for tolerance. tho business of ir
responsible ticket brokerage has escaped that
emphatic condemnation in the two houses which
" has more and more incurred in public opinion
The contention that an unauthorized sale Of
passenger tickets ~ "cut rates. was the sole
defence of the travelling public against pool

committee and on the floor Of both branches TO
infame the hostility Of Granger" legislators to
whom. nevertheless. the abuses Of "scalpipg"
were as patent as those Of any other brokerage
IN goods irregularly and illicitly obtained. And
In the teeth Of certain prejudice that to over
reach railroad corpora ton involved no serious
moral turpitude. II has been difficult TO arouse
IN Congress that sense OF the injury done the
railroads by the llegitimate operations OF the
"scalpers," which could alone compel the mas

taken up and passed a bill which, If II becomes
a law. will relieve the railroads Of an unfair
and harassing competition. and surround the
sale and use OF passenger tickets with certain
safeguards which both fairness and honesty
seem 10 demand.
At the exhaustive hearings held last winter
BY the House Committee on Interstate and For
elgn Commerce and the Senate Committee on
Interstate Commerce II was shown cOnclusively
that the business OF ticket scalping entailed an
almost constant violation OF specific contracts
and involved both the broker and the purchaser
I'm attempts TO defraud. 1t was proved that
stolen tickets and passes had been dealt In, and
that limited tickets were continually sold under
conditions which made them void on their face
unless the holders resorted TO deception and
forgery. No sure remedy for these evils could
be found in the varying and conflicting laws
against "scalplng" in force in the forty-hve
States OF the Union; the sole recourse Of the
railroads has been TO Congress. which alone
possesses the power 10 impose uniform reGua-
