! remark fully subscribe.
Railroads among the best improvements of

Public accommodation. convenience. trade.

ton Of the country and the other. carried on up.
ON railroads demand tina, the greatest facilities
should be given TO this method of conveyance.
and the highest attanahle rate of speed licensed.
A railroad is public affair. and none the less
so because il il constructed and operated ny pri.
vnie capital and enterprise; and the permanent
affairs of the public are not TO be postponed to
the concerns of individuals.
In view Of the great rate of speed demanded
upon railroads by the spirit Of the age. and con
stituing Of the great advantages Of railroad
travelling, and in view of the imminent danger
from collisions to the lives and limbs of tho thou
sands of persons adopting this method Of trav-
cling, hold that no one has the right to
railroad track without first taking every pre-
caution to safety. The same reason thnt holds
railroad companies TO the striciesi responsibility
Ia the passengers imposes upon every one who
crosses the 'rack Of these great public thorough.
fares more than ordinary care not 10 leopard
the lives Of those who are avuliug themselves of
the benefit of this great modern Improvement in
the mode of travelling. 1t seems TO me thut he
who, without pausing or oven locking. will drive
upon railroad track, is guilty gilmore than care
lessness
The maxim saius popuii suprema Ter seems to
me to be peculiarly applicable 10 the question
der consideration.
In this the train was behind time, an oc.
curfenco which every body knows occasionally
happens. and from the imperfeotion of every
thing human must sometimes happen. 1t is also
claimed Tint the train upon an unusually
high rate Of speed. A train must make the time
necessary 10 fulfil it- eng gem. MS with tho pub
lie. The fact that the train WINS behind time, or
upon higher rate Of speed than usual, did not
ab7ove the plnintiff from the duty he owed to
