Street Car Mapnates ON Trial

a trial is now in progress in Newark

of the street railway company COM
posing the executive committee and some
OF the managing operatives were indicted.
and tEey are now on trial They have
admitted the killing OF the girl whose death
is the specific ground OF the Indictment
and the only question at issue before the
jury is as to the degree of criminal ac-

There Is no question whatever in the i'm
mediate case that there was gross neeli-
gence somewhere In that the dangerous
crossing was not equipped with safeguards
sufficient to render collision impossible
The management had some time prior to
the accident decided that a derailing switch
was necessary. and one had been ordered
and hauled to the crossing. But. owing TO
controversy between the street and steam
railway corporations, 1t was not installed

Populism and Wall Street.

The suggestion of Charles. A. Towne as
the populist candidate for President has
not set the west to talking. Like a voice
on the sea, it awakens no echo" What is
the matter? Has Mr.. Towne lost his pop
ularity in populist circles because of his re-
cent residence and prosperity in New
York? Have his Wall street communica-
tons corrupted HIS populist manners? Is it
held that he cannot serve two masters ?
And these questions apply to Others Ex-
Gov. Hogg, who is more of a populist than
democrat. has been suggested for senator
from Texas to succeed Mr. Bailey. But he,
too. has been in Wall street. and if reports
are to be believed, has made his pile
there. Can he win in state where Wall

bull pen?

will later pass upon the case in review in
the. event of conviction must answer
these questions, propounded at the open
ing of the trial yesterday by the prosecut-
ing attorney g
How far does the personal obligation of
these defendants extend? If the accident
was due to their failure to protect their
passengers, though they had the power to
do so, was that failure so gross as to be-
come criminal careleSsness under the law ?"
If 1t be held by this and subsequent
courts that all managing directors of such
corporations are personally accountable for
accidents and damages it is probable that
a higher degree of efficiency in the man
agement of the transportation lines will
result. Usually in such cases the RESPONSE
bility is shifted from superior to subordi-
nate until the public has been made to
feel that there is little likelihood Of ever
bringing to book the men actually in
charge of these complex organizations. The
people do not demand that severe punish
ment be inflicted for the sake of retribu-
ton. But so dangerous have conditions
become on some Of the public conveyances
that apparently only by imposing the laws
penalties even to- the fnanciers engaged
In the general management of the roads
can the lives of the patrons be protected.
1t is quite certain that If these defendants
be found guilty of manslaughter and pun
ished, even nominally, the standard of
safety will be raised More cars, less
crowding, a closer scrutiny over every de-
tail of the equipment and the latest and
most reliable devices for preventing acci-
dents, these are imperatively demanded by
the public welfare. If they are not as
sured drastic measures must be taken.

Grain Shipping and Canada.

From the New York Times.
That the Canadian railroads are becoming
powerful rivals to our own in competition
for the shipment of grain is true, and 1t is
equally true that they will be more and
more formidable as time goes on. The con-
ference of merchants interested in the cx-
port of grain from this city. Philadelphia
and Baltimore will have definite and con-
crete problem to deal with. and one that
is sure to be more important as the Cana

develops The dominion government has
always been extremely enterprising in this
direction. It's achievements in the past have
been marked by courage and determine
ton. and have been accomplished with
a good deal of sagacity and quite as much
freedom from jobbery as anything of the
sort on this side of the border. though there
has not been absolute exemption on either
side. The people of the dominion are salts

Vacation and Crest"
From the Chicago News.

T
At this time of year, when summer yaca-
lions are closing and the incoming trains
are daily bringing thousands of city toll
ers back to their work, it may be worth
while pointing out that the advantages of
the vacation custom IRE not merely physi-
cal. theoretically, the returning workers
should feel rested and refreshed and ready
to plunge at once into their labors. AS a
matter of fact, many Of them will feel less
inclined to work than they did before the
vacation ter Some who are not actually
fatigued by overexertion will be enjoying
that blissful condition of physical repose
wherein they feel lite: ally too strong to
work" They will agree heartily with w.
D. Howells that the only tire one really
needs a vacation is the day after the vaca-
ton Is ended
