because 1t Is much pleasanter to ride racing
forward than sidewise. And yet these cars are
coming to be regarded with loathng by decent
passengers, because OF the opportunity they
afford for the practice Of the filthy habit of spit
ting. In one Of those cross-seats. especially at
the inner end, next the window, man can spit
as much as he pleases with little fear OF being
observed. And do so. with a copiousness
that fully makes up for their abstinence else

about half the seats in those cars the floor is
often flooded with semi-liquid denominations.

We have said It is not so easy 10 detect spitters

duty OF the train hands to do it. And II Section

other miscreants. The public has right to re-
qulre transportation companies to maintain
their vehicles in a sanitary and decent condi-
tion that respectable people travel in
them without having their health impaired,
their stomachs nauseated and their clothing be-
foued. We fancy that the arrest and fning OF
a few spitters would wonderfully encourage the
others to become decent.

BIENNIAL SESSIONS.

An unexpected debate on the Biennial Ses-
sions bill in the Senate yesterday ended in fail
ure to advance IL 10 third reading. Its support
ers were able to defeat various amendments,
for the time being. and a single additional vote
would have put il on the order of final passage:
but the situation is not encouraging. for 1t is
obvious that they do not know where TO look for
that vote hereafter Three Republicans desert
ed their party, Bracket. Malby and Willis, and
one Democrat, McCarren, deserted his. Messrs.
Bracket and Malby had already bolted the Re-
publican caucus, that their action caused no
surprise. Mr., Willis is said 10 have stayed
through the caucus. The bill remains in Com
nittee Of the Whole, and Is to be considered
next Tuesday, but apparently there is a hard
road before II.
Senator Malby was frank enough to say yes
terday that he was irrevocably opposed TO the
whole scheme, and would offer no amendments,
believing that the only way TO improve it was
to kill 1t. He Is therefore TO be credited with
an increase Of courage since last year, when,
having denounced the bill with great earnest
ness. he finally voted for II on the ground that
he was willing to let the people decide the ques
ton. His colleague, Mr.. Bracket, has also been
fortified to some extent, for last year he did not
vote either way 1t seems to follow that an
other Democrat must join Mr.. McCarren and
supply the twenty-sixth vote IL the bill Is 10
pass the Senate in its original form. If Senator
Grady has received "the straight tip" his per-
formance yesterday means that Tammany won't
come to the rescue, in spite Of the plank in the
Syracuse platform to which It pointed with
pride last fall. But that plank is said TO have
been inserted with David B. Hills full ap-
proval, II not at his instigation, so that II he
still has any influence at Albany he may posi-
bly, exert it in favor of the bill and make Tam
many opposition unavaling.
AS for the talk OF Grady and others about
their good faith in seeking TO have the bill
perfected" by amendments, that is all non
sense II the bill is amended 1t must be passed
by another Legislature containing new Sen
ate before II can be submitted TO the people
That IS TO say, II will be shelved for two years,
which entirely suits the opposition, and its enc
mics might Just as well. in fact, good deal
better make that frank avowal. Senator Grady
asserted yesterday that the principle OF ben-
NAL sessions was not antagonized by the pro-
posed changes In the resolution, and he actually
had the nerve TO cite his party's declaration on
the subject. But the language of the Syracuse
platform is as follows: I'VE favor the passage
ssby the next Legislature Of the pending con-
"stitutional amendment providing for biennial
Legislative sessions"-that is to say, the amend
ment which was passed last year. and which
