FAST DRIvING.-Nearly every day We
hear of accidents and narrow escapes from
being run over, resulting from reckless
driving. Yesterday boy on Friend
street was run over by one of these care
less drivers and had his leg broken.
Since the completion of the Nicolson
pavement men drive the ryeriest old
plugs as well as horses that ''tret way
down in the, thirties' at a terrific pace
on High street, endangering the life and
llnbs of pedestrians. We agree with a
reportorial cotemporary that this thing OF
converting the public thorOughiares of a
city into trotting courses on which to test
the superior qualities of ''fast nags," is a
matter for consideration and action. Men,
women aud children who have to
ge afoot, have some rights which the men
who go on wheels or in saddles are bound
to respect. The fact that an individual Of
little Wit and no conscience happens to be
In hurry, or ambitious OF making 9
splurge, and unhappily has a horse to drive
does not give him the right to run dowr
human beings, like foxes, and bring hasty
dssolation to dry goods Snd polished shoe
leather, or perchance to bones and muscles
This is principle that should be more
generally understood than it is. The mis-
fortune is, that those who most need tt
understand it are the small witted indi
viduals aforesaid, who gain an idea will
difficulty and lose it with facility. w
will not say that all the sensible me-
90 afoot, but all the fools go in buggie
or in wagons or on horseback, fo
nobody but fool or crimina
would indulge in such tantrums of fas
driving on crowded street as We witneS
every day, and the number OF men who d
indulge in such performances is most dis
couraging. That there are not more peo
pie run over Is due to the circumspectio
of the people who are liable to be run ovel
and not by any means to the good sense o
decent practices Of those who are liable
run over them. A brisk interference wit
the performances of these men is needed
People who go by the aid of horsefies
have undou bted rights, but so have peopl
who, GO without such aid. The former wi
takecare Of their own rights, but the latte
must have help, it seems, and that hel
should Ie extended by the powers that b
Thelaw on this subject should be strictl
enforced against all offenders. .fs.e
