Everybody knows the end-seat hog,
and everybody has desplsed him at one
time or another And incidentally il
may be observed that about everybody
has been despised at one time or an
other for being an end-seat hog" The
Characterization has come TO be ap-
Piled very generally to the person who
takes the end seat Of a transverse
bench on an open trolley car and COM
pels boarding and alghting passengers
to scramble over his knees and STUN
bic over his feet when getting into or
ont of the car. The person" on the
end seat is conspicuous in every city,
and If vindictive glances at him could
kill there would be a hundred funerals
along each car line every day and dou-
bic as many or Sunday. Volumes have
been written about him. always TO his
dispara cement, and various attempts
have been made 10 legislate him out Of
existence.
One Of the latest attempts at ami
hilauon by legislation was made il
New York the other day. when an or
dinance was introduced in the City
Council providing that if the occupant
OF an end seat refused, upon being re
quested. TO move up and make room,
he should be deemed guilty Of a misde-
meanor, and upon conviction thereof
should be punished by a fine not ex-
ceeding 500 or by Imprisonment NOT
exceeding six months. or both. The
ordinance was no. passed. Nor is il
likely that an ordinance Of the kind
win be passed by an intelligent City
Council. There arc some matters that
cannot be regulated by legislation, and
this is one of them.
Possibly few persons, except those
occupying end seats at the time. ever
stop 10 consider that the end-seat man
has some rights as we'll as those who
are obliged to crawl over his i'nees. On
the good. old principle of first come
first served" the person who finds an
empty bench in a street car has choice
of the positions on il. If his choice
is the end seat, he has right TO take
il and keep il to his journeys end. 1t
Is question OF courtesy an ms part
whether he gives il up and moves
along" 10 make room for the next trav-
eler and thus puts himself in a position
10 have to climb over someone else's
knees. There is more freedom, more
breeze and more comfort on the end
seat: and it is human nature 10 take
the best. when one pays for it. and 10
surrender II only out of politeness OF
kindly consideration. Therefore, until
humanity has been educated up 10 the
point Of perfect altruism. when each
individual shall strive continually to
make for the comfort and happiness of
every other individual without thought
CT self. the only solution we see for
the end seat problem is TO make cars
having no other kind of seats.

TINE SUBWAY NATTER.

The points made in the argument of
the subway injunction case before
Judge Cam yesterday open the way
for lengthy litigation. and therefore 4
long delay In the construction Of the
projected subway. The people are in
terested in the subway They want IN

the street railway company is permit
ted 10 put its tracks upon Gwinnett
street or not. The inference from whai
Mr.. Baldwin is reported in yesterdays
Morning News as saying, is that the
street railway company may not sign
the contract for the construction of the
subway unless II is permitted 70 have
the use of that street. II is stated that
he said il was understood. when the
street railway company Joined the city
and the Atlantic Coast Line in a prop
osition 20 build the subway, the CON-
pany was TO have the use of Gwinnett
street.
OF course Mr.. Baldwin doesn't say
that the street railway company will
not be a party TO the building OF u sub
way if it cannot get that street. and
it is to be hoped il has no such Inten-
tion. Mr.. Baldwin may argue that
the subway would be of no benefit to
the company IL it couldn't handle its
cars upon Gwinnett street. bat it would
be of great benefit TO the people of the
city and there is no doubt they will
insist upon its being built.
And there ought 10 be no hesitation
on the part Of the street railway com
pany in becoming party to the build
ing Of it. The grade crossing on the

Az UNSAFE NAV.

II is well understood that the bust
ness men of the country don't trust the
President. By that it isn't meant
his judgment of which there are serious
doubts. There is no certainty what he
is going to say or DO when the oc-
casion arises for executive expression
or action.
1t will be recalled that when charges
were made against the Postof1ice De-
partment the President issued his
memorandum in which. commenting
upon those against whom charges were
made. he said: The three chief Offend
ers in the government service were
Tyner. Machen and Beavers Gen.
Tyner is 70 years Of age and has oc-
cupied the position Of Postmaster Cen
eral He bitterly resented, in an open
letter. the charge which the President
made against him. In the course of it
he said: Il wish TO deny your utterly
unwarranted statement that the gross
corruption in the case of Tyner has
gone on for a number Of years"
The Jury, the other day. brought in
verdict in Gen. Tyner's case of not
guilty. The President now has an op-
portunity 10 see wherein he showed a
lack of Judgment, and the country has
additional evidence of his unfitness for
the position Of chief magistrate of the
nation. The mistake he made in the
Tyner case-the mistake of publicanly
oondemndng unhearo an official who
had occupied one of the most honora-
bic positions in the gifts Of the govern
ment-shows what he is likely to DO in
dealing with other important affairs.
He is likely at any time TO do some
thing that would damage vast business
interests or involve the country with
foreign nations.

fore that accident they insisted that
the grade crossing on the Thunderbolt
lire should be abolished, and since that
accident they have been particularly
urgent that the city authorities take
prompt steps for the protection Ct pas
sengers on that line by providing for 8
crossing above or below the grade.
They oanno< prevent theSroubles which
the street railway company may have
in getting rights OF way on streets it
wants for the proper handling OF its
traffic. and II isn't right that they
should be exposed 20 unnecessary dan
ger simply because the company can
DOT get for its tracks the streets il
wants. il Is enough for them TO know
that the subway can be built and
the danger OF travelling on the
Thunderbolt line removed. The con
stsuction of the subway should not be
dependent upon the outcome OF the
pending litigation.

Imperative Orders.

There has recently joined the First
City Troop a raw recruit, with whom
the other members of that organization
have been having a good deal of run,
says the Philadelphia Press. Among
other defects the new recruit had new
er been on horse in his life, and the
drill was anything but a recreation TO
him.

of his squad the other day at drill, no
body is allowed to dismount without
orders from a superior oficer-remem-

The recruit. however, was no sooner
in the saddle than he was hurled heels

SENATOR quay.

The death Of Senator Quay, Of Penn
sylvania, removes from Republican
politics a man who has played a lead
ing part in party councils for many
years-almost since the close of the
Civil War. He entered politics as soon
as he came out of the army, in 1855.
and from that time until his death.

His political methods have often been
questioned. yet the fact remains that
he was one Of the most successful of
American politicians Of his time. His
sway in Pennsylvania was complete

Rumor claims that a Washington
belle broke her engagement with a GER
tain Washington clubman. Just be-
cause he carried his money in a
purse" says. the Washington Post.
I can't abide she is quoted as say
ing, "a man who carries a purse at all,
and as for one who keeps his change
in it, he is simply beyond hope, and
it's sure 10 follow that the man with
the little purse will be close about
everything. You may not notice it
during your engagement, but be sure
it will come later.
Fancy asking man for money, and
have him extract a miserable little
purse and begin digging down into it,
half the time the little piece
of leather not being capable of hold
ing the amount that one would ordi-
narily pay for a simple frock.''

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Birmingham News (Dem.) says:
The East ait present seems to want
Judge Parker. The South can vote for
ures up 10 presidential standard, and
because he is a Democrat with an
unblemished party record. These are
the reasons Tennessee instructed for
him, and Alabama had good word for
him. and these are the reasons why,
unless the unexpected happens the
New York judge will be the standard
bearer of the party"
The Memphis Commercial Appeal
CDem.) says: Experience has shown
that Italian immigration does not pro-
duee negro emigration. and that the
two races live in harmony and with
out friction. The peasant has more in
telligence than the negro, he Is used
for cent uries TO working in an unfrust-
full soil. and his mind is bent to a
careful devotion to details which bring
large harvests in the rich soil of the
South. No one need be apprehensave
about the influx of the anarchist or
an alien invasion. AS long as the ne
gro remains here he viii act as a buff
fer to any alien invasion. and anarch-
lists do not ever reside in rural re-
gions. Anarchy and socialism cannot
thrive in the open any more than Re
pubhuanism can. The anarchists OF
Italy and the Mana are not found
among the peasant class. and ii is the
peasant class that We want in the
South TO till our fields"
The New York Journal of Commerce
says: In twenty years the produc-
ton Of cotton has increased Sc per cent.
in the United States, Is per cent. in
India, Ts in Egypt, and there has been
a smaller development in Central Asia
and South America Europe's con-
Sumption has increased IS per cent,
and that of the United States Jas per
cent; but the increase has been only
So per cent. in the North, while 4 has
been SOC in the South. These bald fx
ures suggest their own significance
There Is no reason why the United
States should not use an increasing
proportion of its own cotton, even with
an advancing production. and there is
every reason why the industry should
continue 20 grow IN the South, which
has the great advantage Of raising ghe
material and facilities for establishing
factories near the fields. II has water
