UNNECESSARY CROWDING.

Justice Gaynor administered n we'll merited
rebuke TO the Brooklyn Heights Railroad Com
pany Yesterday. which is equally applicable to
the other transportation lines which enjoy the
privilege of exacting a nickel strap from New
Workers. His description of the way men ana
women are treated in our streetcars is vlvld
and accurate 10 degree possible only as re-
suit of personal experience. This is what he
said:
II is not easy for Judges and jurymen who go
home 10 luncheon in the middle of the day and
have to stand up in cars both going and com
ing for lack Of a seat. although there Is plenty
of room on the streets for more cars TO come
back feeling altogether pleasant toward the COM
pany. and if they go with their wives 10 the
theatre or some other place Of diversion at
night and get into cars that become so packed
that they are showed about and trampled upon
in a way that is not only painful. but actually
immodest and immoral, and at hours when the
streets clear and there is room for cars either
trailed together or run singly TO carry passen-
gers decently
Those remarks touch on what is one OF the
worst abuses of our local railroad administra-
tiOn. Nobody expects anything but crowding
in the busy hours when a million people all at
once are rushing To their work or eagerly push
ing toward home There is. however no reason
but the avarice Of railroad managers why
ample room should not be provided for travel
lers AT other hours Stand before the door Of
any New-Yorl or Brooklyn theatre after play.
and no car service at all adequate 10 the crowds
will he discovered. though. as Justice Gaynor
SAYS the streets will he clear, offering ample
opportunity for extra cars al a time when the
management knows they are needed. II Is ap-
parently not the ideal Of the companies To fur
niSh seats even when il is possible As fast as
the crowds hanging TO the straps decrease m"
service is decreased, 50 that the straps often
remain occupied even in the hours of least
travel 1t is no uncommon thing at 10 o'clock
at night 10 see a Madison-ave. car running
through n residence region, with no theatre
crowd. and only the chance travellers entering
hv ones and rwos iammed TO The doors from
Fifty-ninth 10 Fourteenth 81.
II is such wanton disregard of public comfort
as this that makes the public impatient with
the companies and sometimes unreasonable in
demanding impossible things II is hard 10 ac-
omit the managers Of blame for morning and
night discomfort in face of their failure 10 give
the relief which everybody knows they could
give at other hours if they cared to do so. The
railroad people are shortSighted. They may
save few dollars. but they are making enemies
and creating preirdices likely hereafter to resist
everything they want

TALKING AGAINST TINE.

We have often heard Of talking against time
and Of talking to death proposed measures in
Congress which apparently could be defeated in
no other way, but have seldom known the trick
10 be performed 50 neatly and effectively as it
was in the closing hours of the last Congress-
when Senator Carter. of Montana. as a fare
We'll performance in the chamber he had long
adorned. literally talked against time until
through statutory limitation. he had killed a
measure carrying appropriations for some
$50 100000. We need nor enter into a critical
examination of his motives. nor of the merits
or demerits of the bill The fact remains that
by monopolizing with n prolix speech all the
remaining time of the session the Senator killed
the bill-a bill. we may add the enactment of
which earnestly desired by large pro-
portion of his colleagues 1t is evident that
under the rules of the Senate any other bill. no
matter how mortOriOus might be killed in the
| same way. provided its enactment had not been
effected more than speech's length before the
compulsory close Of the session. There is bit
of irony in such fate befalling a measure in this
| last Congress. seeing that that body. especially
| i'm its second session, was decidedly more
| prompt and forehanded in its work than most
of its predecessors had been for many years If
| il could thus be caught mapping by a long
winded speaker, what might not happen TO a
more dilatory body which put off a great lot of
| important enactments until the eleventh hour?
We have spoken of the margin of safety as
| being a speech's length before the end of the
| session. That. however is much like saving
| 'as big as piece of chalk The length of
| speeches varies. With only such orators as
Grant and Moltke in the way passage of a bill
might wait until few minutes before the fall
OF the gavel and still be safely effected. With
Senator Carter in oratorcal opposition the dead
hne must he drawn the better part of a day
peiore the close Of the session. Nor was his
thirteen hour speech unexampled. In the Aus
irlan Reiehsrath a year or two ago some of
the deputies varied the monotony of inkstand
throwing by making continuous speeches of a
similar length. But even those short
compared with the famous effort Of Mr. De
Cosmos. some years ago, in the legislature of
| British Columbia. On that occasion an niqui-

President to begin negotiations for the abroga-

COLONEL GARDINER,s QUEST.

We offer to Colonel Asa Bird Gardiner, some
time District Attorney of this county. our hearty
congratulatiOn on the successful termination Of
his interesting and patriotic quest of the burial
place. long in dispute. of General Nathaniel
Greene. 1t was known that Colonel Gardiner
had gone South upon this laudable errand, but
now that 1t is all over there can be no harm
in admitting that it was feared he would not
succeed.
II was not that his earnestness or zeal was
doubted. Everybody remembered the agility
with which he was able TO Jump turnstiles and
conduct arguments. but the impression prevailed
that as n hunter Colonel Gardiner wouldn't
amount TO much. Surprise and qualification are
consequently all the greater. The public feared
that Colonel Gardiner would return with the
report that General Greene never was buried
anywhere and little nervous lest doubt
should he cast upon the Historical evidence that
such q person as General Greene did actually
exist Results like this. it was recalled with

TO abstract considerations and leave investors

view. however, ignores the fact that the great
body of tenement house owners have dennlte
idea concerning income which they are bound 10
realize. If they cannot do il in new houses
they will turn to old ones where they can
realize even more, especially II the supply vi
new ones is cut off. Raising the stahdaru oi
building unduly will not lower the interest rate.
That can only be done through the erection oi
new houses by men or corporations content with
a smaller rate till such houses are common
enough 10 fix a standard of moderate rents
which owners of the old rs we'll as the new
houses must conform to or lose tenants. SO
long as avaricious landlords control the market
they will get their interest. regardless of the
building laws The hopeful aspect of the tene-
ment house problem is the disposition TO Dulld
model houses not as charities, but as conserva-
tive business investments for a low return.
The builders of such houses go far beyond the
requirements of the most extreme law proposed,
and if they set the fashion for homes, and fur
nish enough such homes TO give the people COM
PEELED to live on the East Side an alternative TO
the eXactOns of the bad houses they will do
more to secure improved living conditions than
any law. The law can only prescribe minimum
requirements no higher than average conditions
will warrant Competition in tenement houses
can set a standard toward which even the most
grinding builder must strive for his own profit.

strong majority on the last day of the session
Bat at 10 o'clock in the morning of the day
before that on which the session would auto
matically expire at noon Mr. De Cosmos took
the floor and began to speak against the bill.
The majority supposed that he would speak Tor
an hS1r or two at most and then they would
pass the bill. But at the end of the third hour
he had merely completed his introduction. An
bour LATER he was saving I'm the second place.
As the afternoon waned suspicion of his pur-

helpless There was use in interruptng him
or bowling him down. for that only gave MIN

one final rally. he expressed his regret that the
brevity of the time allotted TO him forbade his
