IMPORTANT RAILROAD CAsE.-A case of
great importance to the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company was argued In the Supreme
Court few days ago. 1t involved the right
OF the plaintiff to recover damages for the
killing of man on q crossing at public high
way where the plaintiff proved aiHrmatiVely
that the person killed had not stopped, looked
or listened before he drove ON the crossing
Counsel for the company cOntended that this
was negligence in law, and this was doai ed
on the other side. The question was fairly
raised by counsel, and the court seemed duly
impressed with his arguments Great interest
ia felt in the case everywhere, as it is thought
to involve the safety Of passengers and tray
eleFs, and Is an entirely new point. The case
Is Of great Importance to the railroad company
las 1t would hold them responsible In every
case Of injury at public crossing il decided
against them. 1t Is thought that the decision
OF the c0uFt below will be reversed.

Nor CHRISTIAN SrArEsNAN.-Thc
convicted municipal corruptionist and
thief, Tweed, when registered for the
penitentiary at New York, gave his oc.
cupation as statesman, but without 70.
ligion; hence he is not christion states
man. We commend the honesty of this
avowal, and how superior it shows him
to many statesmen of higher pretep.
sions, who defraud and plumber the peo.
pie and enrich themselves with the
spoils of corruption, and cover it all
with the cloak of pretended piety, such
as their peculiar friends delight to de-
nominate "Chfistian statesmen" Tweed
in his cell is truer man than these
smooth knaves In their hypocrisy.
Though a corruptionist he is not hyp-
ocrite. Somebody might want toknow
what it meant.-Baio. Sun.

THE CURSE OF DRINK.

The appetite for strong drink in men
has spoiled the life of more women
ruined more homes tor them, scattered
more fortunes for them, brought TO
them more sorrow, shame aud hardship
than any other evil that lives. The
country numbers tens, nay, hundreds OF
thousands OF women who are widows
to-day, and sit hopeless weeds, because
their husbands have been slain by
strong drink. There are hundreds OF
thousands of homes scattered over the
land in which women live lives OF tor
ture, going through all the changes OF
suffering that lie between the extremes
Of fear and despair because those whom
they love, love wine better than they do
the women they have sworn to love.
There are women by thousands who
dread to hear at the door the step that
once filled them with pleasure, because
that step has learned to reel under the
influence of the seductive poison. There
are women grooming with pain while
we write these words, from bruises and
brutaIities inflicted by husbands made
mad by drink.
There can be no eXaggeration III any
statement in regard to the matter; be
cause no human imagination can create
anything worse than the truth.
The SORROWS and horrors OF wife
with drunken husband are as near the
realization of hell as can be reached in
this world at least. The shame, the in
dignation, the sorrow, and the sense OF
disgrace for herself and children, the
poverty, and not unfrequently the beg
gary, the fear and the fact of violence;
the lingering, lifelong struggle and de-
spair of countless women with drunken
husbands, are enough to make all wo-
men curse wine, and engage unitedly to
oppose it everywhere as the worst enc
my of their sex.

BETTER TIMEs.-Thc New York Tri-
bune of Friday speaks cheeringly Of
business affairs, saying. 1.-The financial
outlook is better, and that ''vislbly and
palpably things are on the mend" 1t
adds:
The result may be seen in the evil
dences of rapid recuperation on all hands
in the advance in .breadstuffs and cot
ton-in the steady export demand-in
the absence of further reports of the
stoppage of manufactories-in the re-
opening of some that have already made
arrangements for the profitable renewal
Of work-in the solid position Of the
banks-the appreciation even of railroad
and telegraph securities-and especially
in the general conviction, that after all,
there is no danger of ''the bottom drop
ping out"
