second track to thei, road, though they know
the want Of it jeopardises hundreds Of lives
every day Of the year!
Now, We submit to every fair person whether
conduct Of this kind ought not to be--if in
deed it is not already-punishable by courts
Of justice. How can you punish the fool who
fires pistol carelessiy out OF window and
shoots his neighhor, if you allow equally gross
negligence, springing from far baser motive,
and causing far more disastrous results to go
unpublished? 1t is hopeless to expect reform
from the guilty. 1t will always pay to kill
people rather than build double tracks. Nor
can we in this case look with the least hope
for any salutary action from the State Legis-
lature of Jersey. That body is much more
likely to pass statute extending the powers
of the railway than to rebel against its Old
Man of the Mountain. If our laws for
the prevention of homicide are to be pre-
served on the statute book, they must
be made to cover the case Of loss Of life on
railways Manslaughter is manslaughter,
whether it is done with an axe, a pistol or q
railroad car; and where the malice or the
negligence is the same, no solid distinction
should be drawn from the instrument used.
In the meantime we hope that all the parties
who have been injured, and the relations Of
the killed, will lose no time in instituting ac-
tons against the company for damages. The
Camden and Amboy monopoly is rich it must
be made to pay the price Of blood
