THE MEETING YESTERDAY.
Citizens Discuss Plans For the Proposed
Auditorium.

The meeting of citizens called vest rda!
for the purpose of discussing plans for al
auditorium, was we'll attended, temper
airy organization was perfected and COM
mittees were appointed to go before coun-
Gil and get up plans and specifications. A
plan was discussed of uniting an auditor.
ium and library in the same building, but
nothing detinate was done,
The plan contemplates nice building
in central location with rooms for a
library and the Board of Trade on the
ground floor and an auditorium capable
OF seating $500 people on the second
floor.
1t was mentioned that the old city m ar
ket site would be splendid location and
the city fathers could not do more popu-
lar thing than to grant the site and donate
the material that is in the present "eye
sore".
AS soon as the plans are little more
matured an application will be made for a
charter for an auditorium association 1t
is hoped that the citizens generally will
give this movement their hearty support

RIGHTS OF WITNESSES.

The Appellate Division in reversing the JudS
ment obtained by Frank ID. Mowbray against
Howard Gould makes some deserved CRITICISM
of a practice which has been steadily growing
In our courts. 1t was high time that somebody
In authority should come to the rescue or Wit
nesses and limit the abuses of cross-examina-
ton II was also time that q certain class OF
lawyers were taught that they could not make
litigation the excuse for the satisfaction of
grudges, the ventilation of scandals or the levy
ing of blackmail by threats to spread the pri-
vate affairs of their opponents before the public
in the trial Of suits In no way involving those
affairs The opinion of Mr.. Justice Mclaughlin
to which there is no dissent, should be consid
cred a charter of liberty to the poor witnesses
who have hitherto frequently been subjected to
the insinuation and abuse Of croSs-examners
for the sole purpose of making them ridiculous
or bringing them into disgrace. The Justice
says
It cannot be that because party refuses 10
submit to demand made upon him. and him
self goes upon the witness stand to contradict
testimony given by his adversary. he can by
reason of that fact be compelled to divulge the
secrets OF his life unless such secrets are con-
nected with have some bearing upon the
matter being tried. party. when he becomes
a witness is entitled even on croSs-eXa nina ton
to be protected. Witnesses have some rights
which courts are bound to respect. Attacks of
the kind set out in this record cannot be made
upon ones private life under the guise of cross
examination. Their purpose is either TO coerce
the party into n settlement else 10 unduy
and unjustiy prejudice the jury against him
Such examinations tend to bring the admins
tration Of the law and trial of action into dis
repute and TO lessen the respect which litigants
have for the courts
That Is good sense well as good law and If
trial courts would heed II we should have our
records filled up with less Irrelevant testimony
giving reason for reversais. and might approach
more nearly to New-Jersey in the promptness
and sureness of our Justice

Indeed, 1t Is difficult to see how 1t was possible
to run that number without getting down to
something like thirty seconds Roadway, instead
Of Mr.. Greatsinger's bOasted fifty.
There is reason to believe that under the cty's
management trains were run on only thirty sec
onds Roadway. And there was then incom-
parably less crowdng than now. 1t may also
be declared with confidence that there were
fewer accidents and blockades than there are
now. We are not sure that quite as much
money was made. 1t is not as profitable to
carry only seventyntne passengers in a car as
it is to carry H. But If we remember Alright,
the Brooklyn Bridge was built at public ex-
pense for the benefit Of the public, and espe-
cially to give safe, comfortable and speedy
transit across the river. 1t was not built for
the enrichment of a private corporation at the
expense of the public safety and comfort.

THE OMAHA BULL RING.

Bull fighting in Omaha has suddenly become
an exceedingly popular and profitable diversion
u! reason or the circumstance that on Monday
night one OF the bulls Unexpectedly caught one
Oh me performers on his horns and sent him
forty feet through the air. and ultimately 10 the
hospital, where he now lies with two broken
ribs, lacerated chest and an ugly temper IL
was understood in advance that there was 10 be
no blood letting at these gentle and refined en-
tertainments. The bulls were merely To caper
about in picturesque manner, and the men
were TO show only with what grace and facility
they could exterminate their adversaries ex-
cept for the managers promise not To rutne the
susceptibities Of an unenlightened public But
the bull that doing his turn on Monday
night either did not know that rule" or else
broke faith. The result was TO convert tame
and tedious show into a highly exhilaratine
spectacle, crowd the arena at the next perform
ance with seven thousand persons. and produce
great JOY In disconsolate box office. Now the
manager says that Chicago, Buffalo and Coney
Island are clamorng for his favor while the
purVeyors or amusement at many other places
are opening negotiations Last night the Gov
ernor of Nebraska, whose name happens 10 Ia,
Savage, was expected TO be present with his
staff, and it was thought that large detach-
ment OF the local clergy would be there to take
notes for their Sunday sermons
1t is entirely natural that these DEVELOPMENTS
should have followed the forbidden exploit of
an ignorant or perfdious bull and those who
are surprised at the enthusiasm he produced
have a poor understanding of human nature
The truth is that an immense stock Of barbaric
passions Is constantly in existence and CON
cealed only by an extremely thin veneer They
may not be more than half aware of the fact
but the people who go to see a man drop from q
balloon, for example, are chiefly attracted by
the possibility that his parachute NAV betrav
him. Many of them are excellent citizens hut
they want to be Mortified all the same So at
omaha, 1t was not much fun TO sit around the
bull ring and eat peanuts so long as no senso-
uonal variation Of the programme was intro
duced, but when ii became known that an nm
acknowledged source of pleasure had suddenly
up in seven thousand breasts that the next njght
might witness a similar ebulition
This experiment in the show business is NO
credit to Omaha. but it may serve as a useful
reminder that there is ample warrant for no,
permitting the art and science Of bull fighting
to be practised in the United States Doubtless
1t would pay handsomely If it were fatal n
most Of the bulls and fair proportion of the
men, as prizefighting was even without such an
advantage, though 1t was an abominable swim
die. But, like prizefghting. it is a gross affront
to public sentiment everywhere in this country
and there is no excuse for letting a small mi
nority acquire a means of gratifying bose
propensities.

BROOKLYN BRIDGE CAR SERVICE

Mr.. Greatsinger, president of the Rroo,,vn
Rapid Transit Company, says he is going TO give
the public the best possible car service on the
Brooklyn Bridge He is gong to run. and In
deed, has already begun to rum the trains dur
ing evening rush hours ON fifty seconds head
way. That, he adds, lis the lowest headwav
ever attempted"
We may be painfully obtuse, but we cannot
reconcile Mr.. Greatsinger's statement with other
known facts. Mr.. Martin, the chief engineer
of the bridge, In an official report n few DAYS
ago said that before Mr.. Greatsinger's COM
pany got hold of the bridge railroad no fewer
than two hundred and forty trains were run In
the hour between 3 and o'clock y. m. II GER
tainly seems to us that in order to run so MANY
trains in IN hour they must have been run on
a much lower Roadway than that which Mr.
Greatsinger declares to be the lowest on record

GENERAL GOMEZ SAILS FOR CUBI.
A DELEGATION CHEERS WILDLY AS THE VESSEL
sTEAMS AWAY.

Accompanied by his son. Urbana Gomez and
Alexander Gonzales, General Maxine Gomez sailed
yesterday for Havana the Ward liner Segu-
ranca They were escorted to the pier by a dele
CATION of fifty Cubans, representatives of their
countrymen in this city. who carried large floral
representation of the Cuban flag.
In the saloon of the steamer General Gomez made
some parting remarks I'm Spanish TO his friends. 1t
them on the deck of the vessel but the camera
hends numerous that he Obliged TO
seek cover.
General Gomez said he would never forget the
kindness of the people OF the United States. and
that he before had realized how deeply they
sympathized with the people OF Cuba.
Before the vessel left her pier General Gomez
bade formal farewell to his friends. embracing Dr.
William F. Holcombe Tomas Estrada Palma and
Jose Ellis Cambiaso. The latter is q grandson of
formerly Chancellor of the Dominican Republic
Senior Cambiaso said that many OF the Cubans
mvored a government modelled after that of the
Swiss Confederation. He thought that a confedera-
ton of Cuba. San Domingo and Hayti with
constitution like that of the United States and
under the protection OF this government would be
the best form of government for the people of
those islands.
AS the Seguranca steamed away the Cubans
rushed to the end of the pier and cheered their
general wildly. General Gomez In the best of
health.

SOME MISSED DENUNCT4TIONS.

An indignant and accusing correspondent
writes TO The Tribune concerning the recent
bank troubles. He recalls how a few days ago
q bank of this city having the confidence OF its
depositors closed up. He charges that ele-
mentary principles OF legitimate banking were
violated in its management. He expresses the
suspicion that its officers were improperly
interested In the speculative adventures Of
Stock Exchange house. And he closes with this
Indictment: yet The Tribune has not yet put
Itself on record as denouncing the acts already
revealed Of the officers who have SO grossly
violated their trust
II our correspondent Will think bit instead
of letting himself be carried away the wings
OF sensational headlines he may conclude that
there has been nothing yet revealed which
should prompt or would even justify The Trib-
une in making that denunciation which he
misses BY that we do not mean to say that
the bank was not wrongfully managed or that
criminal prosecutions may not properly follow
its failure. OF that we have no present means
OF forming any just judgment, and we have no
ambition for pre-eniDence in the devils work
of running men with offhand, unverifed asser-
tons. A great many statements have been
made about irregular methods In the bank in
question. and The Tribune has given its readers
all the news on the subject. doing its best TO
state facts as facts and ruTaors rumors. The
bank officers may have violated their trust
grossly, our correspondent says, and, if so,
they should be punished without fail; but
do not as yet know, nor does he know, anything
absolutely authentic about their transactions
which would justify denunciation or anything
but suspension Of judgment pending the official
investigation which is being prosecuted with
diligence and ri2or calling for assistance or
prodding from the press.
1t is easy when a bank is closed for person
without access to the books TO charge the Off
GERS with high crimes on the strength OF rumors
picked up from the man In the street But,
popular as Ii Is in these days OF journalistic
assumption OF all functions under the criminal
Iaw-when newspapers act at once as complain
ant, detective, prosecutor, judge, jury and all
but executioner, and kindly let the regularly
established courts ratify their acts as the price
of popuIarity-that method suggests that Wig
orous and terrible phrase OF Lord Coke: The
'damncd and dambable judgment OF hell-first
accuse, and then make your accusation the
ground OF irreyocabie condemnation and
torture The Tribune does not consider IL
to be its duty TO condemn the bank officials
on unverifed suspicion when the matter is
being Investigated ia due order. and at the
proper time we shall know what has been done
and not have 10 guess at it,
When II is known who ought TO be denounced
II anybody and just what he ought 10 be
denounced for, The Tribune Will make such
observations as seem warranted by the occa-
sion and desirable for the public good. II the

is spread in the sight of any bird" Even the
Third Napoleon declared that the Empire
meant peace We have said that the govern
ment party in Great Britain has made sore
blunders. Yes; but it has, after all, stuck to
consistent principle. and has convinced the ma
ton Of it's sincerity; hence its errors are for
given.
The spectacle Of a once great party In ruins
is deplorable. But by far the worst of all Is
to see great nation deprived Of the services
of a patriotic and intelligent Opposition. The
discordant factions which once were LIB
eral party do not fulfil the first legitimate func-
ton of an Opposition. They make no In
structive criticism upon the government, they
offer no valuable amendments to its measures.
Above all, they offer no hope of any improve
ment in affairs If they should be put into
power It is conceivable that many English
men are not well satisfied with the conduct OF
the present government, yet prefer 1t thou
sandfold above the dark uncertainties which
would ensue upon it's overthrow. The leap
from frying pan to fire is not to be taken
knowingly. To this demoralzed condition OF
the Liberal party, indeed, we may attribute
most of the Kingdoms political ills. A reor-
ganization of that party, worthy principles
and under worthy leadership, would be an in
cident of ineffable promise for the nation. But
such principles are not apparent, nor is such
leadership

United States Government officers charged with
the duty OF investigation-and,i If need be, prose
cution-showed any signs Of remissness we
should feel called upon to take critical notice
OF their neglect. They are. on the contrary,
proceeding actively and faithfully, and with SO
little disposition to cover up anything that they
have decided TO supplement their own expert
study of accounts with the services OF the most
experienced man In the department, who, they
say, can detect Irregularities which might pos
sibly escape them. Everything seems to be
proceeding satisfactorily for the doing Of JUS
