RAILROADS AND PASSENGERS.

1t is beginning to be pretty well under
stood that, however arbitrary the rules
which a railroad company may print upon
their tickets, the passenger who purchases
q ticket does not thereby surrender any of
his W rights, and does not, by the pur-
chase and use of q ticket, enter into any
contract with the company to the prejudice
of his rights under the common law. The
Rdilrdy Age has lately been ut the trouble
Of compiling the decisions of the courts in
suits of passengers to recover damages for
ejectment from trains, md draws there
from the following conclusions, which are

travellers, for whose information VIC repro

/. A railroad company may make reason.
able regulations for the carriage OF passen-
gers Conversely, a passenger cannot be
compelled to obey regulations of an un-
reasonable nature. Whether n regulation
be reasonable or not must in case OF contro-
versy be determined by the courts.
2. A passenger must exhibit his ticket
when SO requested by the conductor, or he
may be removed from the car.
b. A passenger must surrender his ticket
when demanded by the conductor, or he
may be elected but if the conductor takes
the ticket before arriving Mt destination, he
must give the passenger a conductors check
or some other evidence of his right to ride.
4. 1t seems that if q passenger persists
in his refusal to pay fare until actually
elected, he forfeits his common law right
to r%e.enter the ear, even though he tender
the demanded fare.
8. A railroad company has the right t.
make a moderate discrimination in the rat.
of fare between those who purchase ticket
and those who do not. If a passenger ha
| not procured n ticket he must INV the nd
ditional rate, or be removed from the train
6. A railroad company must afford rea
sonable facilities for procuring tickets, bu
the ticket ofiice-noed not be kept open aftei
the advertised time for the trim to depart
The decisions Of the courts fully sustain
these conclusions, which show that q pas
senger has all the rights which he needs,
and that he can compel tine railroads to re-
spect them. N Nec York Paper. ,

Down the River.

On our 4th of July excursion down
the river, we saw much fine country,
Fine crops everywhere abounded, but
the most luxuriant cotton we saw is
adjacent to our town. Crossing the
river at Martindale. the rest of the
route was new to us. The multitude
of wild grapevines, many Of them full
of fruit, gives the strongest evidence
that this might be made a great pro.
ducing region of the cultivated article.
We saw a hedge nearly complete al
though evidently neglected for years,
demonstrating that hedges can be
made to do we'll in this country. 1t is
high time q beginning was made. We
passed nice church methodist we
are told) with too parsonages near by.
And yet we saw a flock of fat turkeys
parading about the premises, as if to-.
tally unconscious of their peril We
passed in sight Of the big Thicket'

land. thickly overgrown with bushes.
once (and still to some extent) q great
resort of wild animals, including cat.
tie. The region we visited was the
more interesting because Of the effort
once made to annex it to Hays county,
BY the mutual desire of the people liv-
ing there and our own. This righteous
movement was defeated, owing to the
interference of politicians, but We
learn another effort will soon be made
to effect the object, which We hope
will be crowned with success We be-
lieve in local self government" in
matters Of this sort.

A FEW days ago we accepted the
hospituble invitation of our genial
friend, Capt. H. b. Cof6eld, to visit
his suburban home, and partake OF the
fruits of the season. with which his
orchard abouuds. We found grapes,
apples and pears in abundance and OF
the best quality. and of all we literally
tasted and enjoyed. The Captains
home is not deliberately adorned with
an expensive building, but its attrac,
tons consist 10 comfort, neatness and
plenty. The interest he manifests IN
the care and cultivation of these fruits
eyinces commendable spirit which
we are sorry to say is wanting in many
others in West Texas.
