RAILS IN CITY STREETS.

In Its latest issue THE Railroad Gazette" re-

Interchange OF cars by local companies and in

the transfer of cars 10 local tracks from those

The chief objection to the t rail in city streets

citizens In general will doubtless try to deter

ask Mr. Mellen. with much proprety, whether

would serve his purposes as well as the L rail-.

INSURANCE REFORMS.

All OF the insurance reform measures have
now been put on the statute book. The work is
finished and the present session OF the Legs-
lature will have 10 its credit on that account
alone, regardless OF all other things a record
for efficiency and devotion TO the public welfare
which has not been surpassed in many years.
We do not recall any body OF remedial legisla-
t1on OF large volume, dealing with a complicated
subject about which experts might honestly diff
fer, which SO favOrably received on all
sides were the Armstrong bills Nobody ever
questioned the intelligence and good faith with
which they were drawn and even the insurance
officials whose operations were subjected TO un-
welcome and drastic regulation conceded the
general wisdom OF the plan, and asked only
notifications in detail some Of which were
granted IL may possibly be that the regulations
in few particulars have gone too far: if so
they can be modified after practical trial But
IN general there can be no doubt that a great
work of reform has been accomplished, which
is al once thorough and conservative. free from
demagogy and yet responsive 10 the moral SEN
ument OF the community aroused by the reyela-
tion Of insurance abuses.
For ali this too much credit cannot be given
10 Senator Armstrong and his supporters in the
committee and 10 Mr.. Hughes and Mr.. Nc
Keen. The public owes them a debt OF gratitude
for their answering fidelity and their states
manlike handling OF a most difficult and dan
gerous problem. The Republican party also
owes them thanks. first for boldly facing the
Issue and going 10 the bottom OF scandals re-
gardless Of possible political effects, and sec
ond. for helping their party once more to de
monstrate its ability a responsible and eff
cient instrument Of government. Governor Hig-
gins also is entitled 90 great deal of credit.
To him more than 10 any other man is due the
high characte- OF the committee A year ago he
endured much Misrepresentation concerning his
attitude and motives, which malicious critics
have not failed 20 repeat this year. He might
have gained little applause from the sensa-
tional press last summer by starting at the
drst demand an investigation which would have
been controlled by the insurance lobby and
would have been practically directed, not by
