street Railway Accidents.
The Electric Railway Gazette says
that a prolific source of accidents is the
careless practice of pedestrians of walk-
ing from behind one street railway car
' in front of another car moving in the
opposite direction. This has been found
'to be as true in this city as elsewhere,
and there has been one accident trace-
able directly to this cause. ' The Ga-
zette says that no mechanical precau-
tion is possible. but suggests that a rule .
requiring motormen to come to a dead
stop before passing a car standing still
on the other track would be efficacious
if rigidly enforced. This rule has been
in vogue for a year or more on the
lines of the Bufi'alo street railwav com-
panies and has proved entirely practi-
cable. . Of course much depends upon
the good sense and caution of the
pedestrian, and a great deal can be
gained by the people constantly hear-
ing in mind the fact that a rapid-transit
street car is a thing of danger to be
surrounded by every possible precau-
111011.
The rule requiring a car to stop as de-
scribed above might be resisted by
many street railway authorities as in-
volving too great a burden upon them,
'lmt they certainly owe that much to the
community in an effort to spare the
lives and limbs of the people.
It is the rule in Norwalk for the ap-
proaching car to ring a warning gong,
which is excellent so far as it goes. The
present provision that closes the gates
and steps of a car on the in-sidc of the
track makes it necessary for people de-
siring to go to the far side of the street,
to cross the other track than that on
which their car rests and’oftcn leads to
serious situations and sometimes to ac-
cidents. The people are prone to step
immediately RTOULil the car they have
just left and unless a warning signal is.
unmistakably given or the car ap-
’ preaching from an opposite direction is
brought toa stop accidents are quite

“A Born and Bred Aristocrat.”
The University of Wisconsin, like
several other prominent institutions,
has been having a season of affliction.
It appears that two distinct allegations
gained currency and were deemed sufl‘i-
eiently grave to call for an investiga-
tion. The “board of visitors” accord-
ingly convened and proceeded to inves-
tigate. The first complaint was that it
cost too much to get an education in
i: the State University. To this the
. board lent an attentive ear and, alter
some deliberation, decided to recom-
mend the abolition of tuition fees.
. 11113 decision seems entirely proper.
The university is a part of the State’s
educational system. No tuition fee is
' charged in any of the lower schools.
Boys and girls are fitted for admission
to the university course in the free high
schools. If it be advisable to give free
instruction in.the rudiments of Latin
and Greek and in the higher mathe-
matics the same rule should apply to
the continuance of instruction in such
hunches in the finishing off establish-
recent.
but the second charge took on a den—
ser gravity, It was to the effect that
the President of the university, Charles
C Adams, wasa “deep-dyed,” “born
and bred aristocrat.” We have not seen
any of the specifications that were filed
in support of this charge, butit is stated
that they were numerous. The board
patiently inveStigated all of them, but
decif 1nd to convict. Instead of being
lnrn an aristocrat, the board found
that he was born to toll on a farm, and
that he earned by honest toil the money
required for his education. The board
grand nothinvr in the oflicial or persona
a: is or appearance of the President to
warrant the charge of aristocracy. But
this finding is not conclusive. The
whole matter goes to the Legislature
for final action. Who can tell what that
body will do with a" man suspected of
aristocratic birth. ,,

A Good Work.
Brooklyn’s varied and extensive stock
of reform organizations includes one
which styles itself the Woman’s Health
Protective Association. We are not 'ad-
v gsed as to the'precise scope of its opera-
tions. The name raises a doubt as to
' whether it exists for the protection of
the health of the general public, or for
4, ,
W E E
that of the adult members Lot one sex
only. But there is some comfort in the
fact that, if the women of Brooklyn are
kept in good health, . the benefit will
extend to all the rest of the city’s popu-
lation.
It is the habit of this organization to
wage war on such customs of male citi-
zone as directly interfere with the com-
fort and convenience of woman and
are, incidentally, injurious to their
health. We have never heard of its
making any effort to reform those evils
in dress and food that are said to be
filling the graveyards with women. So
far, as we have observed its operations,
it has left to men the work of reforming
Women, and has tried to reciprOcate by
putting in its best licks on the "mascu-
line side of the fence. lts latest efi‘ort
has our hearty approval and most cor-
dial good wishes. It is a crusade
against the beastly habit of expector-
ating in the street cars and on the side-
walks. The plan of campaign will be
to hang up signs in the cars, and then
the members of the association are to
be on the watch. The man who offends
will get an “indignant look,” directed
straight at him and thence to the sign.
f this does not cause him to desist, a
few remarks ~will be dropped. So much
for the car programme. For the streets
more drastic measures are proposed.
If a member sees a man spitting on the
sidewalk, she is bound to approach him
and talk to him in a way to make him
ashamed. '
The object aimed at is so good that
we have no inclination to criticise
methods. If the Brooklyn women she.
ceed in their efforts to put an end to the
disgusting practice of the spiitsrs in
their city, we hope they will send a de-
tachment of their association to do mis-
sionary work in Norwalk.

Pass the Revenue Bill. _
The growing belief that the United
States Senate will pass the Revenue bill
in the shape in which it came from' the
House of Representatives has started
speculation as to the reception with
which the measure would meet at the
hands of President Cleveland.
What Mr. Cleveland may or may not
do in the premises should be a question
of onlyacademic interestfor Congress.
The duty of that body is to pass the
Revenue bill. The people have prac-
tically demanded the enactment of such
a measure by pronouncing at the ballot
box against a revenue “policy which
breeds a treasury deficit, and which
necessitates an enormous increase in
the interest bearing debt of the nation
in a time of profound peace. The
needs of the Government, justice to its
creditors and the rectitude of the cur-
rency, all dictate that the Treasury be
armed with sufiicient means to meet
the drafts made upon it.
Pass the Revenue bill without delay.
There is no partisan politics in it. its
enactment would neither help not mar
the cause of protection or of free trade.
It is purely an emergency project. It'
President Cleveland desires to take up-
onhimself the odium of strangling such
a partriotic not let him doso.
