ALL propositions to prevent the Snug

lie conveyanees by search Of freight or

would be just about as easy to stop all
passengers and search them for watches,
Almost the sole safeguard i, the general
honesty Of people, In another direction,
il seems to ia that there ia possible a
regulation OF the business, and that is,
by beginning at the fountnin'head and
compelling every manufacturer Of nitro
gycerine to give bonds for the wherel.
bout. ard proper use Of the explosive.
For it is not Improbable that this agent
will become a terrible auxiliary oicrime
The manufacture ,houldbe made crime
except by Those legally licensed and
complying with the law. In short, the
manufacture should be put under as
strict surveillance "a the distilIer5 are
under by the revenue law; the cost Of su'
peryision should be taxed upon it, and
the makers should be responsible for its
legitimate use and sale carriage. The
common carriers should also adop. some
general regulations as to its transportA-
ton. Prof. Mowbray Of the Hoo.ac tun.
