mmmm, i TgE BkOOKIYN BAILT EAGMiE TUES DAY, DECEMBEK 12. 1893. TWELVE PAGES. 9 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ta, owing to confounding tho terms diocoso and city. With your kind permission I will say briefly, that tho city of Wiohita contaius, accord itii to the late United States census, a population Itisonoof tho largest citios in Kansas.

Its oublio buildings are costly and imposing. It? citizons are public spirited, enterprising and generous. Comprising adherents to almost every form of religious be liof, the body of tho people is singularly tolerant. Though at the present time and for the pn.t five yoars aufforing the consequences of inflated prosperity, I am firmly convinced that Wichita will grow to bo ono of the greatest citios in tho Wost. So much for the city of Wichjta.

Now the diocese of Wiobita is an Episcopal Jurisdiction embracing thirty seven counties in southwestern Kansas having an area of about OS.noo square miles. This territory had a Catholic population six years ago 10,000. The Catholic population to day it about 7,500. Of this number about 1.000 are residents of the city of Wichita. Tho causes which reduced the number of people have been alludod to by your reporter.

The words, however, which ho quotos ns from me, and which ond his able description of these causes, are not mine, but are. word for word, takon from a pablishod letter of C.Wood Davis which appeared reooutly in a New York paper. This, however. I do not regard as material. The error whioh does injustice inadvertently to tho city of Wichita I wish correoted.

Hence this letter. Jouk J. Hesessv, bishop of Wichita. Bbookxyn, Beoember 7. 189H.

Jamea F. notwithstanding his carriages, could not get voters out, and ennett's then constantly added to the line which stretched, between 7 and 9 o'clock, for fully one hundred foet. Wiiile the vote was being" counted a mob stood on the street peering through the windows and every now and then broke out Into cheers for Jennett.

The latter quietly watchod the "count, whioh consumed nearly two hours. In their anxiety to learn the result some mon pushed in a plate glass window and when it was carried to them they broke out into a howl that was simply glgantio in its immensity. A few minutes later a brass band hove in sight playing dismal airs, but it did not make tho sheriff weep. It was tho musical contribution of the Loo lyceum, attached to' the churoh of the Sacred Heart nearby, the members of which were nearly all Jennett men. Shorlff Courtney besaved with great fairness during the counting of the vote and was courteous to friend and opponent alike.

He said at the close that "tho opposition had it, but he would try again. TWENTY BTJOBT WABD. The largest primary ever held in the Twenty first ward was that of the Democratio association which took pjace there last evening. It was also the bitterest. The fight was between tho old machine element that formerly controlled the club and the new men who want a reorganization ot the Democracy of Brooklyn that will retire all the old leaders.

In order to placate the revolutionist? Quarantine Commissioner Anderson, formerly president ot the club and ward leader, had no place on the, regular tioket. and all other office holders, with the exception of. Frank McCaffrey, a police court olerk, were also retired. County Treasurer Frsd Kellar, Billy MoGulre of the county treasurer's offloe and Denis Haggetty were tbe leaders of the regular forces and John Maguire and John P. Fagan organized the opposition.

They had entered into an alliance with Charles F. Walz, clerk of Judge Patterson's court, an offloe holder and a part of the old ward machinery. On the surface it was a fight to down Anderson and his followers. tJnder the surface it was a struggle between County Treasurer Frsd Kellar and Olerk Charles P. Wolz tor control of tho 'ward machinery.

Both their terms run out at the same time next year, and the man who can get control of the ward machinery will get re nppointod, as it is not likely both offices will go to the snow ward again. The polls 'opened as in every'othjBr ward at 1 o'clock in the afternoon and closed at 9 o'clock in the' evening. Seven hundred and thirty six votes wore cast and nearly three hnndrea men were still in line unable to cast their ballots when the polls closed. The regular tieket got 456 votes and won by about two hundred majority, as there was a little scratching. TWENTY SIXTH WARP, The no vice.

in ward politics would have thought last night that Harry Adams and his friends were buried out of sight at tho Twenty sixth ward primary. There was only one ticket, and that was headed by John of the dtstriot attorney's office. Mr. Maguire, however, is not in favor of reorganization, and his victory is not also one for reform methods in party expression. Beside, Mr.

name was on the ticket. All this, too, after the litter's lieutenant, Louis L. Happ find Captain French, the leader of the alleged opposition, had several conferences. Captain French, it be remembered, supported tho machine ticket at the last elootion. a few days before which ho was promised a transfer back to his old prpcinct in this ward.

The primary held in the rear of Jar din's litfuor store, on Wyona street, near Atlantic avenue. The oouut demonstrated that Mr. Adams had been scratohed more heavily than any one even anticipate J. The total number of votes oast was 756. Some of the inspectors, including George polled about the full, strength.

John Magnire received 737, while Adams only trot 552. Tho couuty. treasurer, ran 204 votes behind. TWEUT SZVENTH WABD. Excitement, suppressed but intense, marked the Twenty seventh ward primary.

The election wa? hold in Bassweiler's hall, at 105 Evergreen avenue. With the exception of spontaneous outbursts of enthusiasm from time to time things ran smoothly till the' close of the polls. It was the old fight between Justice Robert E. Connelly and Alderman J. Jefferson Black on the one side and Justice Adolph H.

Goetting and John Weber on tho other. Both factions have aired their differences at every primary since the division of the old Eighteenth ward, and success has Invariably roosted on the Connelly Biaok banner. The light hag really had as its basts the coutlnuanoe or subversion of John Cottier's infiuenae in tne politics of the district, and the Goettiag Weber contingent has invariably been bitterly hostile to the county clerk. Reorganization didn't enter into last night's light at all. It was tho same old difference fought out on the same old lines.

The Connelly Black'' tieket was headed by Dr; Charles H. Ermentraut; that of the opposition by Jonn Goyer. The. ote, though reasonably' heavy, was lighter than usual, Beth sides worked like boavors. Justice Connelly, Alderman Black, John Lang, John Justice Goetting, Denis Winter and a score or two more hung round the polls all the afternoon and evening.

The count showed how hard the Weber and Goetting men had worked and how exasperat ingly near they eame to success. The poll stood thus: Total number of ballots, 787; Er mentrant, 372; Goyer, 365. Majority for Ermentraut, 7. "It was a close shave," said Justice Connelly, ejeultingly, as be buttoned up his overcoat, "but I pulled through one primary once by a single vote. I felt snaky, though, at one time this afternoon.

Daniel McLeory; THE SAME OLD I Wiiloughby Street, With One Exception, Ruled at the Primaries: Cenrtney Was Defeated In the Twentieth Ward api William R.

Jennett Wilt Lead the Democ 7 There Cute Politics in the Twenty ixtli ames of the Successful Tickets. i Victory for machine politios was, not general Llast night at tho Demoer'atio primaries, but I Willoughby street managed to get enough of the ohl gang in to satisfy its craving for the total annihilation of reorganisation. The ancient octopus stretched out its aims in all directions and sucked in all one of its in tended victims, the ward. At most of the primaries there was only one ticket, and there wore only few contests, which are de scribed below. 1 FOCBTH There was considerable opposition to the regu lar ticket beaded by John H.

Martenhoff in the Fourth ward. For some time Walter F. Buckley and Sylvester Shaughnessey have opposed to gas law, packed meetings and other tactics of the machine; and have been in favor of reorganisation. They made an appeal to the voters on that score. As a result they launched a ticket in the field.

Thore wan considerable activity around tho polls, but no tronble occurred, both factions doing their best' to inoresse the vote. The re suit showed that of the 330 votes cast the regulars received 271 and the opposition 59. The Buckley Sbaugbnessoy faction intend to organize and at the nest primary will be augmented by a large number of voters who believe in fair arid square methods. TUntTEENTH WABD. The Thirteenth ward primary was hold at 76 l' Sout Eighth street, and, although there was openly expressed opposition to leader Pat rick Hayes, his lieutenants proudly spoke of his kindness in allowing the young men to eomo to the front.

An examination ol the ticket showed, however, that it was simply a case of "change partners all around. President Mahoney gees' to the general committee, succeeding Thomas Cook, who becomes assistant secretary, who in turn succeeds John D. Walsh, who becomes treasurer. David L. Wnseh, tho first vice president, succeeds Mr.

Mahoney. and Bichard BLatourctte is. promoted from second first vice president. Tho old secretary, Francis Van Horcn, and the old treasurer, John P. Tighe, are tho only ones who got lost in the shuffle.

Still the ticket seemed to moeT with the approval ol tho members of tho association, for all ot the 164 ballots cast read the same way. EIGHTEENTH WASD. The primary in the Eighteenth ward was hotly contested from to last, and it was anybody's flghf up to 9 o'clock, when the polls closed. The counting of the baliots disclosed the fact that the regular ticket had won, and Peter Bielman, the present president of the ward association, will be the leader for.anothor year, although he retires Irom the presidency. The new president is Lawrence G.

Scanlon, who, i at present a member of the general bam mittee from, the Eighteenth Tli opposition ticket was headed by Edward Olinnen. who is the leader of tna faction opposed to Bielman. The primary was held in the hall on the corner of Olivo 'and Powers streets. Both the leaders, Binlmnn and Glinnen, were present moat of the time to aid their followers whenever their help was needod to bring some donbtful partisan into The whole primary was very orderly and there was no needfor the half dozen or more policemen who had been seat by Captain I Campbell to preserve order. Thore were numberless, wrangles between tho adherents of tho two factlora, but nothing serious was attempted, and 850 votes.had been east when the poll? closed.

This is the largest number of votes evervcast in the Eighteenth ward since it was out its present size. "Of this number the roguiar ticket received 497 and the Giianea tioket 359 'votes: Scanlon himself wa not at the polls at all; ho being sick at his home. The lendor'of the opposing faotion was not at all cast down by his defeat, but expressed himself as being highly gratified at the large vote ho rsceivort. NINETEEN TH WABD. the inspectors neariy two hours to ascertain the result in tbe Nineteenth ward primary 454 ballots, a music hall programme JilSiUia personal memorandum about laundry "were voted.

"'The primary was held in a stable adjoining the Sixteenth precinct station bouse on Ciymer stroet, and as soon as the polls were opened, it was discovered that; there was an opposition ticket, although Leader Bankeu had retired from the field because of. ill health and in favor.of Alderman Thomas A. Beard. For John B. Lyon wanted to go back to the general Mr.

Lyon has boen a member ot that body for some time, arid lias quite a following in tbe ward. When tho Beard peoDle were expecting they would have to tight lor harmony they invited Mr. Lyon to come on their ticket, and he said he would. The ticket wa3 finally made up on' Thursday, but at the last moment Mr: Lyon baoked out and decided to stick to leader Ranken. This was on Thursday, and the next day Sir.

Ranken formally announced that he was done with politics, and the Beard tioket was indorsed as' the regular one. When Mr. Lyon found that ha had perpetrating a Dadyism he tried to hedge, but was told that it was too late. Consequently' ho got out a ticket of his own, bearing the names of all the regular candidates, exoept that he substituted his own name for that of Allan McBarron. John Ranken voted this ticket.

So did his lieutenant. Samuel Guthrie; Seoretary Gehrhardt and a number of the other ox loaders, but all the votes Lyon managed to get was 77. Out of tho 454 ballots cast about 150 were or less scratched, and the inspectors swore softy to themselves, for hardly any two wore scratched alike. It could not bo ascertained who votad laundry memorandum or the music hall programme and they were thrown out, although It was suggested that as the doors 'have been thrown wide open since election these vest pooket votes should be counted lor some one. TWEKTIETH WABD.

Sheriff Courtney was turned down in tho Twentieth ward. The primary is tho largest remembered in the neighborhood, 600 votes being cast, with many nu left in the lino when the polls closed at 9 o'clock precisely. William J. Jennett lad the opposition, which was a lusty one. It was made up principally of young men, who saw an opportunity to get on "top.

They lost no time in doing all that could promote their' victory. In ten days or two weeks they have defeated tho combined efforts of tho sheriff and his regular corps of workers. Theyseooped everything except a member of the general committee, who tied John H. Carroll, one of the strong pieces of timber on the tegular ticket Each man received 300 votes. For president of the ward association William J.

the leader of the opposition, received 304 votes, and Edward J. Dooley, his opponent, 296. The rest of tho opposition tioket was substantially elected. At 7 o'clock last night the sidewalk on Myrtle avenue, 100 feet from Adelphi street, was impassable 'with crowds of men. Tho primary was held in a little tin roofer's shop, which was utterly dovoid of means of comfort for Inspectors and electors.

It was the sheriff's wish it should fee located as it was, although the opposition desired to carry it to a hall which would better accommodate the crowd that was expected to vote. Inside the polling place tho in a sporty collar, with a big diamond tucked in his tie, watched tho easting of the votes, and every now and then, pulled the broad leaf of a highly polished tile over bis eyes, the better to study a poor fellow who was down as a. suspect. The sheriff did a good deal of challenging, but the votes were all sworn in and no bluffing' on tho part of anybody could keep them out. It was astonishing to see how the humblest citizen talked for his right and how utterly unconscious ho was of the sheriffs persuasive genius or politieal power.

Somo of the encounters' had a considerable element ot humor hi them. For. instance, John Green of 728 Atlantic avenue, a plain appearing young man in working clothes, approached the b'ox with his ballot in his hand. 'How many times have you voted to day?" said tho sheriff, and he looked like a Sleuth in one of tho detectiye stories. 'Never you mind." was Greon's calm reply.

"I'm going to vote now and you can't prevent me. I have my rights as well as you." "Where did you live before you moved to Atlantic avenue," continued the sheriff. "At 465 Carlton avenue," replied John Green with good deal of vim.

Work of the Commission The Power of Fixing Itatcs Importance of tho Long and Short Haul Clause Transportation Statistics Oaf line of Special Legislatlen Desired. Spocial to tho Eagle. Wabhinotox. 0., December 11 When th Inter stato commerce commission was organizod thore was much comment about its utility and even about the constitutionality of many of its functions. These criticisms, if they have not died a natural death before this, can hardly exist after tbe commission's seventh annual report Is Issued.

This Is now under way. The Eaole correspondent obtained from Secretary Edward A. Moseloy a synopsis of the important points treated in the report Attontion Is called in tne report to the peculiar office of common carriers and the dependence of every occupation upon their facilities; the right of every person to receive Just and' equal treatment all that pertains to publlo' transportation, and the paramount purpose regulating enactments to secure to the people the actual enjoyment of this right. There must, bo a common and publio rate, prima facie Just' and reasonable, which measures the lawful, charge of the carrier. Two classes of questions' are involved in tho consideration of a rate: one' relates to the methods by whioh the justice and reasonableness of a rate is determined; the other to the measures by which observance of that rate is to bo secured.

Departure from tho established tariff includes the offenses of rate cutting, rebates, under billing, false weighing, false classification and endless othor devices by which unjust discrimination is elTeoted. Tho only effoctivo modo of dealing with disorlmlna tlons arising through departure from the publio rate is to place them in tho category of criminal misdemeanors. Any redress by meant ol civil action for damages is manifestly inadequate. It such offenses escape detection and punishment, it is not because of defects and weakness In the criminal machinery for that purpose, but because those oharged with the administration of criminal law are unable to inforoo it against this class of offenders. In cases arising under tbe act te regulate eommorcs the guilt does not consist in determining what constitutes a criminal uct, but In uncovorlng the guilty transaction and bringing to justice those who engaged in it.

That tbe publio tariff charges are ire quontly departed from in particular localities and that rebates are paid and other problbi tlons of tho statute disregarded is believed by many to be true. The legal truth of these violations may not bo obtainable, yet the faot ol their oocurrencs is a moral certainty. To attempt the extermination of illegal preferences by executing penal provisions of the act, to ferret out tho vast number of oondemnod transactions, to discover the parties who participate In them and secure legal evidence of their guilt and proseouto them to conviction and punishment is, of course, diffioult undertaking. In vlow of these faots, it may bo suitable for congress to consider whether legislation should not sesk to lessen tho evils ot secret discriminations by endeavoring to remove thoir cause. Of the loifZ ond short haul clause the report says that thu enactment of this provision was deemed a public necessity.

It is nothing mora than an extension to plaoes of tho rule forbidding unjust discrimination between persons. These long and short haul and unjust discrimination sections apply directly to purticulnr transportation services and are essential to successful regulation. They prevent a largo number of abuses which would exist with impunity until separately con demned in actios brougbt under genaral provisions of the statute, like tbe first and third sections. Tho operation of tbe long and Bhort haul provision is stated to have been satisfactory under the oonstruotlon put upon it by tho commission and acoepted generally by the carriers. But tho effeet of a decision of the court of appeals In an Iowa case, wherein the word "line In tho statute was given a wholly different meaning from that which the commission had held was the proper construction, hits been stnrtling.

This court decision has been followed and expanded by other courts. Those decisions hold iu effeot that one railroad Is a line, and that the same and another railroad is a different line, and that three railroads are still anothor limn and so on; and that rates on one Jine are not to bo compared with rates on another. Tho commission holds that tho word "lino" means a physical line the track of one or mare railroads and that a line may be extended over other roads by simply connecting the tracks. The court construction says that the lines are separate and independent, while tho commission contends that the shorter line is a part of the longer Una, In the first case the fourth section rarely applies; under the commission's ruling it always applies. The interests of nearly every place where connecting roads join, and of every looal station, aro vitally concerned, and the need for prompt remedial legislation iu urgent.

The commission states that there is no showing upon which any railway insolvency can iustly bo attrlbutod to tho operatien of the law. amount of stock paying no dividend has oonBiderably docreasod slnco 1888 and a great reduction is noted In the amount of bonds paying no interest. If the issue of railway capital had been restricted to the amount necessary to oonstruct and equip the proporties, thore would, under normal conditions of business, be muob more satisfactory returns. A groat portion of railway securities do, however, yield little or no return, and many railway managers claim this us evidence that the law doprives carriers of adequate revenue. Tho law can.

only operate to limit raiiwoy revenue by preventing unjust charges and undae partiality. The claim of these managers must rest then upon the proposition that the law by prohibiting wrongs works injury to railway prosperity. Such a plea Is anomalous. The evils which carriers bring upon themsolvss by mistaken policies of rate making or management, if not removable through their awn efforts, are to be remedied by specific legislation; not by attacks upon the law with a vlow to its repeal or radical amendment. The topic of railway statistics is discussed at considerable length.

Tho total railway mlleogs on June 30, 1892, was 171,303.52 miles, an increase of miles; the total number of railway corporations was 1,322, boing a net increase of 87 during tho year: 899 maintalnod Independent operating aocounts, and 712 were independent oporuting companies. Of the 761 subsidiary roads, 820 were leased for a fixed money rental and lots lor a contingent money rental; 9 roads were abandonod. There wore 19 mergers, 17 reorganizations and 11! consolidations. The capitalisation of roads reporting was 748,184. There were passengers and 706,553,471 tons of froint reported as carried during tho year ending June 30, 1892.

The gross earnings reportod wore 31.171.407,843, and the operating oxponsos wero leaving net earnings of to which add as income to railways from Investments. After payment of 1416,404,988 as fixed charges, $97,611,745 was paid in dividends, and 4,314,390 in other payments, leaving a surplus ot 14.0S6,oati. The passenger revenue for the year was and freight revenue amounted to Thero wore 831,415 persons employed in railway service at tho end of that year, whom 2,554 fc ore killed in accidents and 28,267 wero injured. Three hundred and seventy six passengers woro killed and 3,227 wore injured. The commission recommends additional legislation on the following subjects: With respeot to proceedings to enforco the lawful orders ot the commission: to give legislative construction to the word the statute; to provide for establishing through routes and joint through rates; to give tho commission power to prescribe minimum ns well us maximum rates to competitive points: to provide for the adoption of uniform irelght classification; to make corporations subject to the not liable to indictment for violations of the law: to provide a penalty lor failure on tho part of carriers to file their annual reports within a specified time; tho coiutuiiMion aiso calls the attention of congress to the sabjocts generally considered In tho body of the report and 'the suggestions therein made, with a view to further extension of the act by additional amendments.

Suggestions to Prevent Accidents From the Trolley Cars. One From a Sinn Who Says That Bo Is Not a Crank and Another From a Han Who Is Willing to lie Called a Crank ir His Plan Is Not Successful. To th Editor or the Broofctwa Ennlt; I write to ask a favor for one of your readers. In last night's Eagle, December 8, I saw' an account of the Hfo guard to be used on tho trolley cars in Brooklyn. I would like to say a few words in regard to it.

It sooms to mo that it is not a practical life guard. What is needed is one that will save tho lifo or a person without terribly injuring and crippling him for life, and a guard can be made that will do it at less cost than was specified in your paper. There are only two practical ways of applying a guard to trolley oars that will be of use and do their duty without the driver's assistance, whioh should not be required, as he always has enough to do aud think of when a person is in danger of his oar. Most all accidents are through carolessnoss that happens in tho city. Have you ever considered the consequence of a person boing picked up ou a life guard such as was illustrated? Should be be struck by a car traveling flvo miles an bom, which is a slow rate of speed, he would be prstty badly crippled, I think.

The writer says it has done service in Boston. That it ever saved a lifevwithont injury I think you will find if a perBon iked up and stays on the guard he will be to have a froctnrod skull or a broken nino oases out of ten I think he would bo Zjjjirown "from tho guard. My idea is that a guar should sava life without injury to the person, also that the driver should not have to use bis handj and foot. I do not moan to condomn the guard illustrated, but I think it is not the one for this city. You may think I am a crank, but I am ready to provo what I can do in regard to it.

I have studied tho systom from the start, not only in this city, but in New Itorkoity and Bingham ton, N. Y. Bbooklts, December 9, 1S03. Hdmasitx. LETTER FROM A CRANK.

He Has Plan to Prevent tbe Namer oam Trolley Accidents. To the Editor or the Brooklyn Eaate; With all the devices, plaus, suTgestions, otc. by which the new system of car travel in the city may avoid the many accidents to passengers, almost daily oocurring, I am surprised that a plan so simple aud effective as I suggest has not boen thought of before this. Tho man (oow?) catcher about to be adopted by tho Brooklyn City Railroad company I hope may realize its promts ond fulfill our expectations. The closing of tho inner gate is also a good plan, batit is a source of danger until the public get bo accustomed to it that one will not rush, as some do, across the track of the oar coming in the opposite direction, hoping to esaape it by Jumping on the car he wishes to board and finds the gate shut against him.

Then it is hustlo to get away and save his lifo. When a passenger gets off on the curb sido but wishes to go to the other sido of the stroet he (or she) darts behind the oar whioh hides all of the street on the oar side and bohold 1 just as he steps over to the other track, whizz! axiar coming the other way flashes on him and ha is in imminent danger of being run over by it. Now tho plan I suggest is for the pro tection or savins the lives of women and children the men must look out for themselves, for (thoy will get on and off while the car is moving womon never do it is to compel women and children always to go forward and get off the front platform. By this moans the motorman oon know when there is danger from on approaching oar: ho oau hold his gate till such a car has passed; he oan know when they are off and safe from injury by his car and can kuow when to go ahead. Let there bo a conspicuous notice posted up in the car "that for the porfeut safety of women and children getting off the car they must go to the front platform to get off." Try this plan, and, if it don work, put me down Cbakk.

Bhooixtx, December 1803. THE TROLLEY MAN CATCHER, One Objection to It la That It Will Not catcb Oblldreu. To the Editor or Out JirooKlvn Eaole: Brooklyn at last has a car fonder or life guard fonts trolley cars. But what is ltr Bimply a projection rrom tne car in order to strike a person sooner than tho car would do so without it. But why was it adopted? Simply to pacify the poopls by a pretended guard and to forestall the action of the Brooklyn grand juries, who demanded a protection for the people's lives and limbs.

The fender adopted, and for whioh the oiaim is made that 35 each is the purchase price, is nothing more than a gridiron, and any one conueoted with tho iron business oan make up his mind readily whether tbe parch aso price should be nearer 35 cents than 35. If your paper will institute search in the Boston papers you will undoubt edly find that this fender has failed to be of any oonerjt regard saving the life of children, as it is elevated ten inches from the ground, and ohildren, and even grown people, unless extremely Btout, would be crushed uudernoath it. The fendor adopted, as I understand it, was simply a manosmftand invented by a mechanic nudor the employ of the West End railroad of Boston, which directed him to find some means of pacifying the peoplo of Boston by tho cheapest contrivance consistent with the doniands of tho people. I think that your paper will find it interesting to investigate this matter. Bbooklin, December 8.

1S0J. A Citizen. TROLLEY "NGS. A Correspondent Recalls) the Good Old Tinltlie klorae (Jan. To the Editor ofUw Brooklyn Eagle: Is there no way of escape from the terrible trolley gong Must all submit meekly to this outrage, for it can be called by no other name.

I live on a street where two lines of trolley oars paBS constantly. There is no intermission, not one moment of quiet or peace by day or night. The oars oeme round the corner close by thumping and humping in a most awful way, one would imagino an earthquake. Thou, as soan as the corner is turned, the oars are started at full speed, with tho gong banging and clanging in a frightful, ear pieroing, norve destroying man ner. It really is simply unbesrabla.

What is to be done Must the peaco, comfort and quiet of our homes be completely destroyed and the resi dents all along the Unas of the trolley be driven mad? For that will soon be the result, unless some change is made. What is the use of this startling gong, that con be hoard severs! blacks off and only frigb tens people out of their wits 7 Is there not something else that could be used instead I How one longs to hear the old tinkling car bolls on the good old horse cars 1 Will you not exert your influonee in doing away with this intolerable nuisance, ae you have done so often in the past in every good cause, and receive the everlasting thanks and blessings of many sufferers, whose nerves are unstrung by this fiendish trolley gong?

Unintentional injustice is done to our eisy of Wiohi Why i'oi JLevy a Tax on All Basinets men? To the Editor orthf Brooklyn Eaole: The article whicn appeared in the Eaole on Deoeraber 7. setting forth the condition of tho poor of thin city, and your oppsal for aid In behalf of same was, indeed, timely. Through the medium of your great paper I respectfully submit the following: Let tho managers of the various play houses in the city arouse them to tho situation and by mutual agroenient, or by roller oommittee ooinposed of citizens, set apart one or more performances a weok. tho entire proceeds of which to bo distributod among the deserving poor of this fair city. If such were adopted the charitable organizations of the city would be enabled to meet the ureent demand of the poor, suffering mass of humanity now knocking at our doors, clamoring for subsistence.

Now is the time for those with much at their command to come forward with thoir generous contributions and thereby aid in placing before somo at least, of the thousands, mon. women and childron, having starvation staring them in their faces, tho common nocessarios of life, for nover before was there suoh need as at present.

803. PUBLIC DOCDMKNTS. To the Editor as the Brooklyn Eaole Noticing a short article in your valued paper to day on tbe snbjoot of piiblio documents and the number printed, I think I can throw somo light on that subject, and why so few are read. I have, in search of information. written to members of congress for conies, but am told they have none to give away.

If I write to a department for any I am told I must apply to the member from my district. Application has been made personally at the document room at Washington and tho address put on Mo, and that is the last of it. Now if you look in noarly every secondhand book storo in this city and in New York city, you will find numbers of books for sale, issued from the government printing office. You can even see the names of tho members printed ou tho covers of somu. It is true there are dry and tedious reports printed that few care to read, but thero are many issued that people would like to read and study more.

I think that some men seem to forget who it was that helped to pat them in tho high positions they have in congress, and oonslder it almost beneath their dignity to answer a letter, much less a request for a oopy of a public document when it is issued. Henry Stickulud. 384 Bbxdok street, December 10, 1803. THE SALE OF INDULGENCES. Kor, J.

O'B. Panlvtv Addresaes a Large Audience ou tho Subject. The Church of Bt. Agues, ou Sackett and Hoyt streets, was crowded last night with tho parishioners and many outsiders who ware de slrious ot hearing the Itev. J.

O'B. 1'ardow, S. of St. Francis Xavier college. Now York, preach.

Tho lecturer was eloquent aud in part he said So many things have been written about tho sale or indulgences tnat tneri is a tiilcic cloud ef prejudice surrounding the subject in tho minds of many people who are not of our faith. Now, projudioe means a pre judgment; that is, a judgment on a matter bofore tbe one who pronounces the judgment knows what he is talking about. This is proelsely what most people do; they do not know what an Indulgence means, and what's more, do not take the slight pains required to find out. If those people were living in what some historians cali the dark agos we might perhaps understand thoir refusal to be enlightened and their deoided preference for ignorance; but in the nineteenth oontury, when men profess their desire to know faots and wish to Btudy question on its owa merits, this obscurantist ignorance is inexplicable. One little remark, and the sabjeot begin to clarify at once.

In every sin or crime two things may be considered, the guilt and the punishment or penalty. Indulgence have to do with the guilt, only with the penalty. The Catholic ohurch aeviir bo proclaimed any indulgence for the guilt of any offense. She never will, never can. Sho has at times mitigated the penalty, which Is the same ns to say she has granted an indulgence.

This distinction of guilt and penalty is dearly givan in the Bible. David had committed two great Times, one ot them murder. He sincereiy roponted, and the prophet Nathan told him that God for gnvo him. The guilt wus remitted, but tbe prophet added, the child sliull die, and tbe sword shall never depart from the house; that is to say, the penalty of the crimes bad still, to bo paid. In this great country of ours indulgences are often grantod by tbe governors of states.

A man is prououncod by tho jury guilty of murder and condemned by the judge to pay the full penalty, death by electricity or tho rope. Seme one gets up petition to the governor; it is signed by thousands They allege some extenuating air cumstancos in favor of the condemned man. The governor commutes the penalty from death to imprisonment for fifteen years; that is to say he graats an indulgenoe. Did anyone ever ac cuse tne govornors ol our states of giving men permission to commit murder, becauso they sometimes commute the penalty. Yet lor 300 years people have ueoused the Catholic church of giv ing permission to commit sin, becauso at times she commuted tho temporal penalty.

And what is more surprising still is that the people who mako those absurd charges are not Ignor ant people, but thuy uan read and writo and, bo make a special prolession ot doing their own lainKiag. so aiucu tor indulgences now one word about the sale of them. Our Lord in tho gospel Bays: "Conio ye blessed, possess tho kingdom prepared for you: becauso I was hungry and you gavn me to eat, I was naked unu you oiotneu me. wow wnetner give too bread and the clothes directly, or. not bavlsur these, give somo ono the money to procure these necessities and distribute them, the argument is the game: Possess the kingdom because you gave monny.

Why, tnls looks not only like the sale of Indulgences, but the sale of tho kingdom or neavon Itsell for money. Does Christ, then, mean tbat a man cuu go on committing sin after sin and then at the closo of a life ol sin without any true iutorior reuentauco. glvo bushels of bread to tho poor and cartloads of I clothing to the naked aud then receive the rc ward promised. "Come, re blcssod. possess tho kingdom." No one could dream of uuerinf such blasphemj Yet the words us they stand seem to say mat.

What, then, doos Christ meau i He moans tunt almsgiving, that is. giving I money lor charitable pur oses, diminishes the penalty due to one's sins," irovidod, of course, thero is true interior repentance. This is what i tho sale of heaven uijuus. of iudul i gonee means the sains iiiiu; nothing more. True Borrow belug always supposed, if you will givo aims lar worus oi iiarfrcy.

tor me iceuing or the souls of men by menus ol instruction, or the feuding of their bo lies by broad, ibmi ttio church, in tho naoio of God, offers you whin Christ offerod, tbe mitigation of the inanity dun your sins. Tho cbur. in the nauio of "linst. aocopts the alms oart uf thu penalty; and then Christ gives you sooner, than you would have otherwise dc. erved it.
