men of the highest rank." Wo need not look beyond the confines of our own country to learn that statesmen can not always be depended upon when 'they assume role of prophets. For instance, on February 16, 1S93, Chauncey M. was quoted in the Xew York Journal as saying: "With men blown up in Havana Harbor and the Texas sunk in her dock at the Xavy Yard, it looks to me as though tho Xavy needed a Utile more brains. "I think the disairter to the Maine was unquestionably an accident. There is no doubt about it.

Spanish authorities will never wink at such a thing, "because they are entirely too anxious for peace. The resources of private conspirators would not' be sufficient tu permit the use of a torpedo. "What we need is more brains in the Xavy. Accidents like these should not happen. Other navies get along without them why not ours? "We need more dry docks, more constructors who know their business, and more men who can handle their shios." Yet the Xavy did not lack for brains.

To the Editor of t'he Brooklyn Eagle: I suppose there will be another attempt this winter to pass the Loud or some kin dred bill, discriminating second cl ass matter into two portions and quadrupling the price on one.

Mr. Gary, the then postmaster general, in his 1S97 report, page 7, tells us that "the cost to the government cf transmitting the 365,000, 000 pounds of second class mail matter is estimated at the postal revenue received from it is estimated at $3,000,000, leaving a loss, on transportation alone, of $26,000, 000." And he refers to House report 4,566 (the Loud bill) and declares that if this or some similar measure be enaete during the then coimlng session of Congress, "there would be an end to postal deficits, and the service could he enlarged and popularized by a broad extension of free delivery without infringement upon the general resources of the government, and eventually result in the much desired reduction of letter postage to 1 cent, per ounce." The deficit for the year he gives on page 17 as nearly $11,500,000. Congress made a "Treasury 'or gift in 1897 to the Post Office of If half the 365,000,000 pounds ot second class matter could be kept in the mails and the additional 3 cents a pound called for in the Loud bill be collected an it, neither of wiuca couiu nappen. tne addition to the Post Office revenue would be $5,475,000, not half the deficit. Why is tihere a yearly deficit in the Post Office Department? Congress has appropriated to make up deficiencies since 1S72 almost $140, 000,000.

The reason is not far to seek. It is the exorbitant rates paid for transportation. The railroads, which carry the greater part of the mails, are paid at the rate fixed in 1873, 1876 and 1878, and unimo dified since, altho ug'h within the last twenty years large reductions have been made in railroad freig'ht charges. Tho mails are only fast freight, carried on passenger trains, and on routes carrying postal ears tne railroad does noi have to handle the mails, as It lias to ordinary freig'ht. How does the price paid the railroads for mail matter correspond with wfo at they receive for ordinary freight? Poor's Manual for 18B8 (intro duction, page 11) gives t'he average reee'ipts of t'he railroads for freight 'as 0.783 of a cent per ten per 'mile for the whole United States.

In the MlddleStates gro up it is 0.58 of a cent, and in the Pacific group it Is $1.18 per ton per mile, the other groups running between these extremes. Hjw do these figtires compare with the rates paid to railroads for mail transportation? What the "average haul" of mail matter is, it is hard to etermine. Mr. Wan amalcer. In his 18S9 report, pag 90, makes it 442 milet3.

Later estimates make It 328 miles. New York to Buffalo, according to the department figures, is 439.52 miile almos exactly Mr. Wanam aker's average haul. The Xew York Centrta'l, 1897 report, table H. page 407, route 107,011.

receives, $1,228,080.41 a year for carrying 250,449 pounds a day, or $2,794.14 per ranum per mile. At 360 days to the year, this is $7.76 a day tar carrying 12n'i tons, or 6.2 cents per torn per mile. The ssn; ra'Urcad brings paper in rolls from Niagara Falls, which 'is 27.14 miles fu ruber. for 13 a 100 pounds, or $2.60 per ton. At the rate for the Middle States group.

0.58 of 1 cent per ton per mill 'the transportation of a ton freight between New York and Bufftrl'o comes to $2.55. Is the carriage of a ton of mail 'matter worth more tha.n three times tihat of ordinary freight? The Post Office Department can not be run on any satisfactory business basis while it is eo loaded down with excessive prices for transportation. But second class matter staggers under the present rates wilth a burden peculiarly its own. The Second Assistant, 1S97 report, pago 1S4, lays to is flngsr on the spot. Why should net the government, iif It Is to carry second class ma'tter at a uniform price for the whole country, lay its hand cn all second class matter, sjs it now does cn first class matter? Tihe frr vernniemit rate Is $20 a ton.

It is notorious and flagrant that second class metier for all distances to which it cam be carried at less price goes outsOde the mails, wi'th Insignificant exceptions. T'he Second Assistant tells cf a single train, early Sunday morninig, on which the government receives nothing. New York to Washington, carrying on a S'in'gle trip S6.S10 pounds, on which the postage should have been $868.10. And tihts is only a grain of dust in the Sahara. The Petit Office gets seco nd class matter for those distances on iy on which i't must lose.

Suppose a iif insurance company to undertake business on those lives al'one which had been refui'cd by all companies managed for profit. It would to early and hopeless bankruptcy, as tho Post Office Department does every year, and is not gazetted only because Congrese dips into the publ'le chest to pay the less. The compensation to the railroads is set by a weighing for thirty days, ouce in four years, and that compensation runs till the next weighing. Whether the roads actually carry the amounts they are paid for, there is room for grave doubt. But that price includes the transportation of all mail matter offered.

On matter going outside mails, the railroads are paid twice, once by the government on the four years' contract, and again by the publishers and the express companies. If every pound of second class matter were carried outside the mails, the railroads would still receive the compensation set by the last weighing, until a new one. The plain interest of the department is to encourage all possible use of the mails at $20 a ton. Can nothing be done to rectify rates and methods? What is everybody's business is nobody's. Tho railroads will sec to il that their sido is adequately represented.

But alas! who will appear for the people of the United States? If the contributions of the railroad companies to political parties for a single year coukl be ascertained and tabulated, there would be iloods of light thrown on the neglect of the national representatives to shepherd the interests of their constituents. Men who would be above any appeal to them offering private personal gain stand in a difftriMit position in relation to their party. If the public interests could be served with the same fidelity and faculty that private and corporate Interests generally are, the post office problem would soon be solved. S. W.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: A friend of mine from the borough of Manhattan, writing that she intended vitiiting mo, I wrote her directions how to aeh me. toiling her to th Butler ami Douglass street car. Upon her return, 1 accompanied her to the car, yln she remarked to me: "You ou' nt to write your frit is how to get into these cars, for whi 1 came 1 was at a Ic ns what to do.

A bill having this object in vie' passed the Senate the first session cf the present (longre. is unci now aw 'the action of the House of Representatives. Tha authority he granted to increase the naval supple fund $2,500,000 from $1. 500,000.

This bill was reported to the House as a substitute for House Bill No. 7. hi' was drafted by a board appointed hy the ri epa.rt.ment, con of the then assistant secretary of the Navy.

Theodore lto. velt, as chairman, and. a number of officer's of the line ami the engineer corps as members. "It is tho recommendation of the Department thai the grades of admiral and vice admiral be revived, temporarily as before, to ba filled by such oflicerj as it may be the pleasure of the President to nominate and, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to appoint. "The amalgamation of the officers of tho line and engineer corps is a natiirjj evolution, and involves no radical departure in the education of ollicers.

It removes causes of friction and it makes officers of tho line callable of performing duty in the engine room as well as on dick, and otlicers of the engineer force capable, of taking a turn of watch duty or fighting the ship should it become necessary. "The additional number of officers which, it provides is les than was asked for by tha department In its last annual report, but this deficiency it is believed will be made up by the provision authorizing the appointment of warrant machinists. "The provision with regard to the Naval Academy course will result in the immediate commissioning of the two classes now at sea, and the shortening of the term to four years will make a constant and uniform increase of about () per cent, in the number of graduates from that institution. "The number of officers now allowed by law is Under the personnel bill law tho number will be 1.020. A Personal Touch in an Official Report.

Almost a personal touch is nut into the, reim port by Secretary Long in his praise of tha naval war board, as follows: "The naval war board, as finally constituted" during active operations in the recent war. was composed of Itear Montgomery Sieard, Captain A. P. t'rowninshield and Captain A. T.

Malian (retired), and. was constantly in session at the Navy Department, It was equal to every demand and through dt prop er control was exercised by department over all movements in the field; at the same time all ollicers there were left ample discretion and were never hampered in their work. The board was charged with delicate and most important duties, and yet the department is not aware of an error in its performance of them. "With such aid as that of this board in tfae direction of naval movements: with such, most helpful, earnest, anil adequate assistant secretaries as Theodore Itoo.sevi.lt and his successor, 0h3rles H. Allen; with such efficient and competent bureau officials charged with the maintenance, supply and preparation of the Navy; with such olllce.rs in authority at naval stations, and with such otti ccr.s and men afloat to carry on the campaign, the success of the naval department of tha government was assured.

"It is to all these that the country is Indebted for whatever good work and renown have been achieved by its Navy in the recent war. The head of the department can only in a measure a.d with touch here and Untrained in the art (if naval warfare, without, professional kf uvledge of the technicalities of tin service, he it, nt best only the direr tor of its general progress Throughout bis service in the department he greatly indebted for whatever so cess hlB administration attains to 'hit professiotrjl ability and Pnvalty of those who serve under htni. Kspcela ly its he dependent upiu the chiefs of bureaus, with whom he conies in direct contact, and upon whom ha must rely for and counsel. In the conduct, of the recent war it has been necessary to refuse the earnest requests of these ollicers for duty with the lleet, where alonej distinction and gioi eouid be. won.

"Tin experience of war ha.s demonstrated the necessity of sn b. isii iitg a na tio.n.'tl naval reserve, to from. lite.se wio served in the Navy ihir.n; the recent war and from the varlems seafaring cassia, to he ma In ta i by il appropriations and to be subject the call of rtio national government in time of war.

A Suggestion That One Is Needed Nearer Business Centers Than Black weli's Island A Few Reasons Why Conservative Citizens Should Not Be Alaramed by the Prophets "Who Are Very Busy Nowadays. Even Chauncey M. Depew Could Not Predict Accurately. A resident of Brooklyn who has large business interests In this borough and chat of Manta'ttan, has 'this to say concerning Mayor Van Wyck'a announcement that be inte'nds to have a bridge built over the East River, with piers Testing on Blackwell's Island: "I have no doubt that in the course of time a bridge running over Blackweii's Island would be a good thing for Long Island and some railroad company. But there is an immediate need for another East River bridge at another point.

We need a bridge that will relieve the already overburdened East River bridge; and that must be apparent 'to any who creeses it. The congested population on either side of the East River far below Black well's Island need more bridges now. The business centers of Brooklyn and Manhattan require prompt relief in the way of bridges; to ignore tnem and spend 000, 000 or $12, 000,000 on a bridge crossing over Blackwell's Island would, in my judgment, be very unwise and unjust. The first to be benefited by the Mayor's proposed bridge would be the owners of large tracts of unimproved land real estate speculators; and, secondly, a railroad would be the next greatest beneficiary of the city's expenditure of millions." Another wideawake citizen contributes the following in relation to the new East River Bridge, now building: "I think that Mayor Van Wyck's removal of the original board of bridge commissioners did cot hasten the construction of this much needed improvement. It is true that the new commissioners are good men, but no one pretends 'to say they are any better than the old board.

The Appellate Court sustained the Mayor In his removal of Colonel Balrd and his associates, but lawyers familiar with the facts in the case have assured me that they are confident tha the Court of Appeals, which is scon to pass on the case, will not sustain Mayor Van Wyck in hjs removal of che old commissioners. It is claimed that the Legislature appointed the original bridge commission to begin and complete the new East River Bridge, and that did not make them subject to removal without cause. The law was amended so as to provide that a mayor should have the power to fill any vacancies In the commission, bu't did not give to him the power to appoint a new commission. The lawyers for the old board further claim that wherever bridges are coo structed over navigable waters of the state the Legislature must confer the authority to construct such bridges. If the Court of Appeals should decide in favor of the bridge commissioners removed by Mayor Van Wyck the incoming Legislature will probably provide for the building of another bridge, in addition to the one now building." These are busy days for prophets.

On the one side men are predicting national decay, the destruction of the Republic and ail som of national and social disasters as inevitable consequences of a policy characterized as Imperialism, and they predict general happiness in case expansion is abandoned. On the other hand, it is confidently predicted that national expansion, the acquisition of the Philippine Islands, Hawaii and one of the Caroline Islands will bring great glory and profit to the United States and make our country the greatest force for civilization on the face of the globe. Amid aii these bewildering environments, his ears deafened by the conflicting cries of prophets, it may be well for the quiet citizen who lays no claims to the gift of prophecy, to bear in mind the fact that modern prophets almost invariably predict' what they desire to happen, or evils which they believe to be consequent upon disagreement with their views. And there are many more false prophets than true ones. We can none of us arrest the march of destiny, nor can we hasten it.

The best we can do is to be prepared for inevitable emergencies when they confront us as individuals or as a nation. We can trust to the people rather than lean on the prophets. Charles H. Pearson, a distinguished English scholar, historian and publicist, writes most instructively of prophets in his celebrated work, "National Life and Character," although he himself could not resist the temptation to prophesy. So It is with most prophets.

"There Is but one true prophet, and he is Mohammed." Writing of the prophecies ol statesmen, Dr. Pearson Fays: "Ever since men have committed their thoughts to record it has been a commonplace exulted in or deplored, according to the temperament of the moralist that It is impossible to predict the future. History abounds in memorable instances of. the rash forecasts made by men whose genius and experience entitled their opinions to the highest respect. "Lord Shelburne was one of the ablest of English statesmen; and he predicted that whenever the independence of America should be granted 'the suu of England would set and her glories be eclipsed Lord I Shelburne was fated to be the instrument of negotiating the peace by which American in dependence was recognized; and he lived till I the year when the battle of Trafalgar estab lished England in the position of the only maritime power.

I "Burke, in the language of his greatest eu i logist, 'had in the highest degree that noble faculty whereby man is able to live in the past, and in the future, in tho distant and the He was ripe in years and experience of men when the French Revolution broke out, and his counsels contributed largely to the part which England took in oppressing the French Republic. Yet Burke so utterly misconceived the nature of the changes that were passing under his very eyes, that in 1793 he was most concerned lest France should be partitioned like Poland, between confederacy of hostile powers. Burke's distinguished contemporary, Fox, parted from him on the question, how the conduct of France ought to be judged; and where Burke was absolutely wrong it might be supposed that Fox would be at least relatively right. Fox told Parliament in 1S0S, that he had opposed war with France because of its tendency to 'effect the total destruction of the influence of this country on the "In day or her greaces: humiliation France was never in danger of being partitioned; t'he longer the war lasted, the greater was the increase of English influence on the continent." The foregoing list is supplemented with many instances of false prophecies, and Dr. Pearson adds: "It will lie observed the cnost conspicuous instances of strikingly fa'.

"All the jokes on those who administer Justice cannot be charged to the squires," declares a now distinguished member of the Detroit bar. "You all know the captain," after naming a citizen whose circle of acquaintances includes thousands. "In the early years of the gold excitement the captain went right ihrough by the overland route and settled down with a dogged determination to make a fortune. He had a tough time of it. but things fkially came his way and he secured a fourth of a valuable claim in consideration of giving a quarter of the proceeds to the owners.

By bard work and personal supervision he made it pay and soon got the whole claim on tho same terms. "It was not long till the sharks who held the title discovered that the mine was a bonanza and proceeded to make the captain trouble. They tried to scare him aod have him driven off by professional jumpers and, falling in this, went to law. The captain sent clear back here to have me help him make the legal fig fit and I responded. They were trying to beat, him out of his lease on a lot of legal technicalities and had two mighty ahrewd lawyers la their employ.

The pre Be Increased. The Secretary says: "The Navy should be Increased; the development of its various branches should be homogeneous, nnd the in crease in ships should he accompanied by a gradual increase in ollicers and men am! in naval stations, coaling stations, repair plants, etc. "The Naval Board on Construction recom mends the following increase: 'Three seagoing sheathed and coppered battleships or about 13.5i.i0 tons trial displace ment, carrying the heaviest armor and most powerful ordnance for vessels of their class, and to httve the highest practicable speed and I great radius of action.

'Three sheathed and coppered armored cruisers of about 12.000 tons trial displacement, carrying the heaviest armor and most powerful ordnance for vessels of their class, and to have the highest practicable, speed and great radius of action.

Estimated cost, exclusive of armor and armament, 1,000,000 each. "Three sheathe, and coppered protected cruisers of about tons trial displacement; to have the highest practicable speed and great radius of action, and to carry t'he most powerful ordinance suitable for vessels of their class. Estimated cost, exclusive of armor and armament. $2,150,000 each. "Six sheathed and coppered cruisers of about 2.500 tons trial displacement; to have t'he highest speed compatible with good cruising qualities, great radius of action and to carry the most powerful ordnance suited to vessels of their class.

Estimated cyst, exclusive of armament. 11,800 each. "With the territorial acquisitions of the present year, if the 1'h ilippines are also annexed to the United States, its outlying territorial possessions will be great ami so extended that this increase of naval forcu will be necessary; and. as two or three years will 'be required for the construction of the ships enumerated, appropriations sufficient for beginning them should ie made now. Otherwise t'he authorization of the second of the above recommendations at the coming session of Congress would be enough." The assistant secretary's report says in part: "The expenditures of the Bureau of Yards and Docks at the Navy Yards and stations during the fiscal year.

ISPS, amounted to $1,772,155.10. A1, the New York Navy Yard the improvements included a causeway across the Wallabout Channel, several sections of quay wall In the yard, dredging the channel, and alterations and modifications in buildings. The obligations of the Bureau under the head of "Equipment of Vessels" during the fiscal year amounted fo $2175,000, and under "National Defense" for the same period to $1,021, 033. Coal cost S2, 122,000. "A board has been appointed to report a course of instruction in naval construction at the Naval Academy.

This is necessary in view of the large Increase of new naval vessels. Bureau of Ordnance As soon as it became apparent that war with Spain was unavoidable orders were placed for large quantities of powder, projectiles, fixed ammunition, small arms and small guns for secondary batteries. All vessels of the Navy, at home and abroad, were filled with ammunition, and vessels laden with a reserve supply were kept in readiness 'to restock the lleets. (lun cotton mines and mining outfits were prepared and issued in large numbers, and torpedo outfits for seventy five auxiliary torpedo boats were prepared. One hundred and twenty one auxiliary vessels and fourteen regular vessels received batteries and complete ordnance outfits at 'the various navy yards.

"During the past year 112 guns of various calibers from 1 to 13 inch have been completed a't the naval gun fncotory. Sixteen 4 inch, fifty four 5 inch, twenty nine Inch, one 12 inch and twelve 13 inch. Thirty t'hroe inch anil two 8 inch gutiis of ordinary type have been converted into rapid firing guns. Twenty 4 inch guns and mounts under with private firms hive aluo been completed and seventeen nthe. partly completed.

Forgings have been ordered for five inch, twenty 5 inch, twenty six 4 inch and one 3 inch (14 pounder) guns, and contractu will soon be made for gun forginns for vessels authorized by the last Congress. Seven hundred and ninety guns for t'he main lw: tefies of veft tels of the Navy have been ordered and 020 have neon comp'leted. Of this nunvner a44 have been as signed to vce els of the new Navy: eighteen to old vessels, nineteen ro training ships, while 100 arc available for auxiliary vessels, and forty three are in reserve. Xew designs have been prep ared for gun of all calibers caicitlatid to insure a. much grea'ter muzzle energy titan Is o'btained from gutiu of flic same caliber now in service.

The first of these new guns will 'be installed on board the battleships Maine, Ohm nnd Missouri, and on of the four harbor defense monitors authorized at the last session of s.

Beginning "With a Beference to the Maine Disaster the Head of the De partment Traces the "Work of the Naval Board and the Commanders Operating Under Their Direction Un til the Day of Final Victory Says the Navy Should Be Increased and Becommends Other Important Legislation. Washington, D. November 2C The annual report of the Secretary of the Navy. John D. Long, issued to day, treats inrgely of the war and the work of separate departments, and many reeommenda'tions are made for legislation.

At the outset he noiarks: "Years of patient, persistent training and development bad brought it (the Navy) to a point of high efficiency, which resulted in 'tho unparalleled victories at Manila and Santiago victories which have given the acnes of our naval commanders world wide fame, and added an additional page to the glorious naval history of our country." He says that last year it looked like war and that the Navy Department, redgnlz.ng uU January ias: airec.c ,1 tne cv.CTi oiander in chief or the European Station to retain those men whose terms of enlistment were about to expire. The Helena, then on her way to the Asiatic Station, was directed to proceed to Lisbon and there await further orders. The commander in chief of tho South Atlantic Station wa informed of the critical condition of affairs in Cuba, and was directed to proceed tne Cincinnati and Castine from Montevideo to Para cm the north coarst of Brazil. The Maine disaster followed Secretary Long praises Captain Sigsbee for his moderate dispatch to Washington after the explosion, saying it did much to calm the public. While the hoa rd examining the wreck was unable to fix the respontsi'Dility for the explosion, the Secretary says it was evident that the cause of the disaster was from the outside.

The movements of various craft are recorded, together with the a p'prc'pria'tion of $30,000,000 for national defease. Of Dewey's lleet the report says: "The commaa der in chicif of the Asiatic 6 taniou and the conKuander in chiuf otf t'he North Atlantic station had beem engaged in thoroug'hly preparing t'he units of their commands for the test ef war. The squadrons, ships, officers and crews were in admirable condition and training, had been for mourns engaged in tactical maneuvers and gunnery practice and were strengthened by the. addition of the auxiliary vessels as rapidly as converted. 'The bureaus of the department hail, by wise forethought, prepared laiui with every facility in the way of men, supplkis, ammunition, information and drills, and as early as April 15, four weeks before Admiral Cervera's lleet reached Cuban waters, the Navy the United States was ready fur the outbreak of hostilities.

The North Atlantic lleet at Key West covered Cuba; the Flying Squadron at Hampton Roads stood ready to defend our own coast, or to threaten that of Spain, and the Asiatic Squadron at Hongkong only ln'rormation ol the ouconak ot nos cili After reciting the starting of the 'n. utie hip Oregvm from San Francisco to recruit the North Atlantic Squadron and the declaration of war, on April 21, came the of Manila, and of this Secretary Long comments as follows: "Aside frcoi the mere fact of having won without the kts a single iife such a brilliant and eletrifying victory at the very outset of the war, with all the confidence which it infused throughout the country and into the personnel of every branch of the service, it removed at once ail I apprehension for the Pacific Coast. The in I direct pecuniary advantage to the United States in the way of saving an increase of insurance rateis and in assuring tlie o.untry of freedom fr cn attack on that const is incalculable." The Memorable hunt for Cervera's the formation of the Flying Squadron, the ilroult lyn, Massachusetts, Texas and Scorpion, tho blockade of the Cuban ports and the final bottling up cf Cervera in San lias i Harbor are told in official dispatches, anil the effort of Hobson on the Merrimae, is spoken of its a daringly executed at.etr.ipt to lose thv mouth of Santiago Hartwr. Secretary I sayts: "It is now one of the well known iii; i toric marvels of naval adventure and enter prise In which Naval Constructor II. in i and his men won undying latne.

The dc I struction of Cervera's fleet is fjid a for mal and vfiiciai manner, as it has tieen told many times.

Admiral Cervera, a'oout seventy ollicers ana i.i.nu men were tnttae prisoners, while about Spaniards were kilied or drowned and 160 wounded.

The fall of Santiago and General Shafter's refusal permit Admiral to be one the signatories cf the capitulation, are briefly treated in dispatches. Of loss the Maria Teresa un Cat Island, the fact is simply mentioned and it is stated that oon.raot for wrecking ether ships have been cancelled. The services of ollicers and men in the blockade are highly praise 1 end a running narrative of events is incorporated in the report. Of the Marine Corps the report much praise tan no: he. given tie unil men for the gaii'jutry and "Tj ers played under the trying comi' i confronted them aimoit np lolling on Cuban soil.

For three eo; and nights thev were compelled to remain tar.tly under' arms, the Spanish atu. ks, this, too, in a seaiitropifal eotvi try. where the dense tyidergrowth afforded sb jlter to the shorptshootttrs of the cnuny." On the Naval Militia the report soys in mrt: "Prior to the outbreak hostilities it was found net essitry In the preparations for i coast defense and for the purpose of nr jvid I ing crews or auxiliary shlni; to u. tk ti large, Increase In the enlisted force of fin Nuvy. i The officers and men of the Tof displayed special aptitude for the work ui.c I i patro'i duty, owing the.ir It 1 edge of home and their a uinee I with the harbors, bases of supply an 1 prevailing weather condition's.

To the Editor of tihe Brooklyn Eagle; The wide open cars of the Nassau system are certainly bad enough, but an additional horror lias been given to li'fe on Vanderbilt avenue by a number ol ramshackle ears which go thumping and pounding along that highway at all hours of day and nigfrt. One would think that the employe 'in cttrarge of the oar house would not permit such vefaicles to go out. They simply murder sleep during the night and render life almost jDt oleraMe during the day. If the head of this company must go to Europe he certainly should leave behind him men who are competent to manage tihe road alike with reference to the interests of the company and the comfort and convenience of the traveling public.
