Someone  else  don't  seem   to fancy the way the trolley company takes care of    its   patrons,  judging from the fol- , lowing in the Brooklyn Times:
"The e(iuipment of the cars on Huh road is lacking in one thing," aaid a gentleman who, with his wifo, alighted from ono of the ears of the .New York and Long islanil Traction Company the other evening.    Continuing, he said:
"The management ought to employ an officer or have their conductors deputized and armed with nightsticks, or else give them an injection which would stiffen their back bones and give them courage enough to close the mouths of genteel rowdies. I have occasion to ride over this road (|uite often during the night, and almost in¬ variably I have the pleasure of listen¬ ing to stale jokes, ribakj aongs and comment on passengers. Three of four regular riders at night seem to think they own the car. One is a diminu¬ tive specimen who can always be recognized by his habit ot holding a cigar in his hand or mouth, making, what he thinks are smart remarks, and looking around to receive the plaudits of the passengers, which come only from his friends. Is thero no remedy?"
