LOC4L TRANSIT INDECENCTES

We published on Monday morning few or
the letters which we have received corroborat-
ing our criticisms Of the management Of the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company. Our cor
respondents, who know by personal experience
whereof they write confirmed all we have said
concerning the irsuiiicicn,y and uncl"anlinesS
Of the cars. the frequent refusal of motormon
IN stop for Messengers and other features which
are rapidly bringing tho Brooklyn car lines into
disreputc BY striking coincidence within
few hours after the printing Of that issue Of
The Tribune our correspondents and our own
complaints were strongly 1usuned ny the cou-
duct of the company itself.
BY the middle Of the forenoon Of Monday 1t
was perfectly evident TO all observers that we
were to have stormy day The rain began
indeed soon after breakfast. and continued in
crcasing until ii came down literally in torrents.
The wind also increased. until late in the after
noon it. blew a gale. At the same time inc
temperature fell until warm wraps and over
coats were necessary for comfort II was III
brief raw. chilling penetrating autumhal
storm Yet right through it all, day and even
ing. the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company COM
PEELED its patrons TO ride in open cars through
every part of which the east wind swept the
cold rain.
AT the same time there was observed further
development of the smoking ndecenry OF winch
so much complaint has been made. to w.t. fre'
smoking in all ears Of elevated trains closed ~
well as open. Here was an example: tlith-
ave train was composed Of two cars one was
an opcn car-an abomnabe thing TO run on
such day II was about half filled with men
and BOYS and about half Of them were sinoh
ing The other was closed car motor car
II was also about half filed; about half IFS pas
scnger, were women, and OF the others men
and bows. about half were smoking. without
pretrnce AT c0nccalmcnt and with the run kno"I-
edge Of the conductor. So on that train. all me
way through Brooklyn and across Tie BRIDGE
there was no place. for man or woman to ride
free from the reek of pipes and cigarettes. That
too was brutal indecency.
The president of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
COMPANY will pear witness that we hailed MS
advent rs auspicious Of a better era III metro
nolitan passenger TRANSPORTATION. that We have
cordiallv commended the improvements he mas
Introduced into the service. that we have eXer-
rised forbearancc and patience in respect 10 me
ohyious faults of the system. and that we nave
cherished q buoyant hope that under his pro-
grassivc and enlightened admini>tra the ser
vice would be made a. admirable in quality az
il is vast in extent We regret to say that that
hope is beginning to sink. is in fact rapidly SINK
inc. The quality Of the service IS deteriorating.
The crowding is getting worse and worse me
cars are becoming more shabby and filthy. Inc
disregard Of the company aud its employees Tor
rho puhlic comfort the public health and pub
lie rights is becoming more and more pro-
nounced.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
Leading Up to the Stevenson Cas-
Decision.

The Stevenson grain rate ease
has created more or less discussion
and has been regarded by many as
something new and novel in the way
of decisions of the Supreme Court
of this State, but the fact is that the
principles involved were decided
by that Court long ago, and what
has been said in it's decisions here
tofore made clearly indicated what
the result would be when such a
case was reached.
For illustration, in 1885, in the
case of Rhodes VS.. the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company, the Court
wiped out the plan of the railway
companies whereby they conferred
upon elevator companies an ex-
elusive right to handle grain at
their stations through elevators
built by elevator companies, and
held that no elevator monopoly
could be created that way.
The result of this case was to con-
fer upon Rhodes, the plaintiff, who
