From the N. Y. Press. The case against the motorman rests wholly upon the fact that the deceased and his wagon were thrown so great a distance as to show that the car must have been running at a criminally dangerous and unlawful speed. Upon this fact alone the coroner's jury charged the mctor man with criminal responsibility, censured the railroad corporation (as though that amounted to any thing) and said nothing of its officers and direetors. The censure of the corporation necessarily implies that it directed the undue speed of the car; that is to say, that its officers and directors directed it. Such a discriminating administration of the criminal law will not do. It is both ineffectual and demoralizing. If the motorman was running on schedule, then he was only obeying the orders of the officers and direc tors of the company to run at that dangerous speed, and if such speed caused the death, the chief criminal responsibility is with them. The inquiry seems to have been conducted upon the mistaken theory that only the motorman could be criminally responsible for the crim inal speed, whereas the law is quite the reverse.—(From Justice Gay nor’s opinion in the case of a motor man whose trolley car killed a man in the street.) UPHOLDS THE PBESS’S VIEWS. Justice Gaynor in the Supreme Court delivered an opinion yesterday which will cause the officers and di rectors of the trolley companies to do some thinking. As the Press has said from day to day, these are the men who should be held directly re sponsible for the indiscriminate slaughter of human lives in the streets of Brooklyn. The officers and directors defy the law and refuse to place safety fen ders on the cars. The ofliiersStid directors shorten the time schedules so that the motor man has to crowd on all possible speed to “get there” and make up the time spent in stopping at cross ings. HAD TO WORK WHILE HALF ASLEEP, j It was an officer of the company . whe sent out Fred Bliss, a motor- ■ man, on his trip despite the fact that j Bliss, for lack of sleep, could not ■ keep his eyes open and begged for j a lay-off. Bliss got his lay-off after i little Ethel Denham had been mangled under his car. The baby’s life was crushed out before her mother’s eyes. The authorities in Brooklyn, the Mayor, the District Attorney, the police, have treated the officers and directors as though they were not amendable to law. When an arrest is made it is always of a motorman whose yearly income is less than S7OO. One cf these unfortunate motor men, James B. Elliott, was arrested last Friday. His car ran into the carriage of John J. Read at such speed that Mr. Read was hurled to the ground and hie neck broken. STRUCK AT THE ROOT. The coroner’s jury held Elliott criminally responsible for Mr. Read’s death, and yesterday the prisoner’s lawyer brought him into the Supremo Court and asked that bail be fixed. Justice Gaynor ordered that the stenographer’s minutes of the in queitbe read to him. Then he handed down an opinion which strikes at the very root of the trolley evil. The justice made the point which the Press has made day after day, that the officers and directors of the trolley companies are responsible for the killings in Brooklyn streets. He criticised the manner of conducting PEOPLE’S PARTY PAPER, ATLANTA, GA4 SEPTEMBER 20, 1895. »IT’S PROVOKING To miss a train.

We have seen it in constant use for 1 nearly two tcore years, and found it to be the best remedy for looseness of the bowels ever yet devised. It is to be commended for several reasons. It is not to be mixed with liquor, and, therefore, will not be used as an alco holic beverage Its ingredients are well known among the common people and it will have no prejudice to com- | bat.
