THE FIRST RAILWAY COMPANY.

The eth of September. 1925. saw the
opening of the first public railway in Eng
land, when. at Il given signal, the engine
started at the rate of twelve miles an
hour, with four hundred and fifty pas
sengers and ninety tons of coal and mer-
chandisc, and reached Darlington. dis
lance of eight and three-quarter miles,
in sixty-five minutes. When the Man.
chester and Liverpool Railway was be-
fore Parliament in the same year, Ste
phcnson. i'll the face of strong opposition
from interested antagonists gave much
valuable information respecting the prac-
ticability and safety of trains drawn by
locomotives. as yet, be had no idea of Il
speed that exceeded twenty miles an
hour: but even this was SO greatly doubt
ed that one of the members of the COM
mittee remarked that the engineer who
conceived such ideas was only fit for a
lunatic asylum. Opposition crushed and
legal sanction given. the railway company
set to work and with 4 salary of one thou
sand pounds per annum. Stephenson WAS

tons that the line between Manchester

dreary bog known as Chat Moss convert
ed into Il hard and firm way ere the line
was completed: and five hundred pounds
were offered for the best locomotive that
could be brought forward for compcti-
ton in running by certain day. Ste
phenson determined to compete; and on
the Sth of October, 1899, three engines
were brought forward: the "Rocket
by him, and two others by Hackworth
and Messrs Braithwaite and Ericsson.
The test assigned was to run distance
of thirty miles, at not less than ten miles
per hour. along two-mile level near
Rainhill. with a load thrice the weight
of the engine. One locomotive was dis
abled by the failure of the boiler plates:
another attained fifteen miles an hour,
but failed to accomplish the distances
and the Rocket" alone stood the test
and won the prize. attaining maximum
speed of twenty-nine miles an hour This
day was somewhat of an epoch i'll engin-
eering, as coke was burned instead of
coal. and the coke and water were car
ried in tender attached to the engine.

Ponca community to their treaty reservation in Dakota is published. MT. Schurz says that it cannot under the law be done s.Neverthe- less, says the Boston Advertiser, 'sgood law yers are at this moment preparing a case in order to determine whether judicial protection can be extended over the Indians or not. Precisely how this will be done will be known in good time but it will be done, because the wrong has been done, and because there is no dispute about the facts. When Standing Bear was pleading the cause of his people before Judge Dundy, with an eloquence which has touched the hearts of tens of thousands of people who have heard or read his story, the counsel for the government maintained that an Indian was not person, and could not bring suit for his liberty. But Judge Duniy consulted his conscience and his common sense, and let the captives go. Possibly, when MT. Webster and his associates have their case ready, way will be found for determining where the legal right lies in this suit for jus tice. We will not believe it is impossible on any mans word" Secretary Schurz intimates that somebody expects to make money out of the affair, and the Advertiser rebukes him rather sharply, as follows: "When the neces- sary legal expenses of such a suit are paid there will be little money left for counsel; TOT do they expect it. If ever disinterested ser vices for principle and for humanity were un- dertaken for their own sake this is one; and, in the absence of all pretence at redress by other means, instead of discouragipg it, the agents of 8 government which means to be just ought to bid it Godspeed; or, failing in that, to pro- vide B more effectual remedy"

THE IMPROVEMENT OF JUDGES.

THE APPOINTMENT OF JUDGES. Much interest is felt in the proposed con- stitutional amendments giving the power of nominating judges to the Governor, and among the lawyers the general feeling is that such power would be safer in the hands of the Governor than with any caucus or State con- vention. The argument of those who favor the proposed change is that where the entire responsibility of nomination is put upon single man, he will not be willing, for the sake of his reputation, to make bad one; and, if he were, would not dare to send it to the Legislature for them to reject.
 It is also pointed out that there are only three States besides our own, (Rhode Island, South Carolina and Virginia, which still re- tain the plan of letting the Legislature elect, although it was originally followed in fourteen States. In all of them the result is claimed to have been pretty steady deterioration of the bench, as time went on, and it is remem- few years ago, such corrupt politician was elected that the Governor refused to sign his commission, and was generally sustained in so doing by the press of the State.
 We have had no corrupt judges in Connec- ticut, but it is no secret that we have had some very ignorant and incompetent ones, and men whom perhaps no governor we have yet had would have appointed.
 Another proposed amendment to the Con stitution has been introduced in the House, giving the election of all judges to the people. Judges are elected by the people in several States, including New York, and in what has 6ov yv fha nf measure find good arguments against it. If we want, say they. some Barnards and Car dozos in Connecticut this might be 8 good way to get them. It is charged, too, that this amendment has been put forward, at this time, with the purpose of defeating the others. if possible, and then letting it drop, 8 game often successfully played in former years, when redistricting the Senate, changing the capital, or some other measure of importance was up. However this may be, the amend ment does not stand much chance of passing the House this year.
 We have had a very able Legislature for the past two years. That of 1879 passed the amendments giving the nominating power to the Governor, almost unanimously, and if they are ratified by the present one the peo- pie will, we think, be apt to endorse them. There are no public officers whom it is as inn portant to have able and upright as the judges, for no laws are worth anything which are not honestly and intelligently enforced. If the present method has produced judges incapa- ble of doing this it is time to change it for @ better one. But there should be no change if not for the better, and the members of the General Assembly should be very careful to act wisely in such an important matter.

 Running, says the New Orleans Picayune, would not be so bad were 1t not so infectious. Puns leave germs which lie in idle minds until they fructify and bear dreadful crop of more puns. The other day some of us got talking about that witty old oynic, Dean Swift when one of the company took advantage of the opening and gave us this ''jeu de mot of his. 'Why," asked the Dean, lis it right, by the lex talionis, to pick an artists pocket? It was given up, of course, and the answer was: Because he has pictures" A silence fell about the table round until, one by one, we saw it. Then one thoughtful man ob- served, ''It was impossible to give the ans wer-because the Dean had contrived to re- serve the answer to himself. I could not, for instance, say that it is right for me to pick an artists pocket, because he picked yours" Here is another conundrum, founded upon pun, which only the propounder can solve: An old man and young one were standing by meadow. ''Why," asked the young man, ''is this clover older than you?" 'It is not" replied the other. 'sIt is, though" re turned the young man, ''because it is pastur- age."
