The Law Of the street.

Judge fDgraham, OF New YORK, has
lust decided against the Manhattan
railway suit brought by n house owner
along It's line for damage done to his
property by the occupancy of the street
by the railway. The street was laid out
by Trinity church and was dedicated by
Il to public use as street. Neverthe-
less the Judge declares that the owner
ship of the street remains in the adjacent
property holders to the middle thereof,
and that the public acquires In this as in
other streets the mere right of passing
aud repassing, and that the Legislature
cannot enlarge this right to the de
triment OF the owners Of abutting
premises by giving railway companies
the special use of the highway. He tnds
that this railroad company can only con
tinue to use the street by agreement win
the property owners or by purchasing
their property under condemnation pre-
ceedings authorized by the Legislature
under the states right of eminent DC
main.
This is as good sense as good law.
Indeed It is good law because it is good
sense, the law being the perfection of
reason, theoretically, as it would be
practically II all judges were men OF
good sense. Unfortunately many Of
them are not, and it is an even
chance with them whether they
stumble right or wrong in Their
legal decisions. Law Interpretation has
come to be matter of guess work, be-
cause 1t is impossible to forecast the
working of the judges mind, when so
many of them refuse to be guided 10y the
ancient charts; sometimes it Is because
they cannot see them, and sometimes
thew wont. Often they think they are
big enough to tit new coat to the law
to suit the changed fashion Of the times !;
and so now 1t comes to pass, that where
once roads were free passage highways
for man and beast, now some judges
uudertaketo say that they may be en-
numbered with all manner of poles aud
structures, aud it would not be surpris
ing to find some Dogberry one of these
days deciding that a mans front door
was closed by street improvement and
his exit be limited to his roof, scuttle
and coal holes.

aud G. NJ. Miller, OF tho Pennsylvania fish
commission, arrived in Allentown, aud
with OK Senator Holbein drove to Schantz's
Springs, four miles west of the city, TO
inspect a proposed sito for state hatch

THE Philadelphia Times is disposed TO
plume ITSELF and disports itself in a
heavy jocularity that is more dismal
than funny. 1t is not the light, grace
full, spontaneous and bubbling article,
but forced and heavy growth. Wit is
very good thing when it is good, but
those who do not incline to wit should
decline to try its manufacture. We are
sorry that the Times does not make out
better in its essay. 1t has something in
the result of the election to be glad
about, if 1t is not much. 1t did not
know the least bit what the result was
going to be, it is true but it did want
Pattison and Cassidy to get scratched
and 1t thinks they got 1t, and so it is
happy; but, as we have said, 1t don't
have the happiest way of showing It's
glee. 1t is not artistic at all

MosT of ths railroads Of the country
will on sunday. the lSsh Instant, adopt
the reg time system, which provides for
four standards Of time, the Eastern, Con

standard begins with ths seventy. Gfth
meridian and will b, uSsl as far ives. rs

arl will bssin, with a tims oae hour latec
than the Eastern system. There are
fifteen degrees of time between each sys
tenn, the meridian OF Detroit being the
dividing line Of the Genital, and point
between Utah and Nevada being the
dividing line Of the Mountain and Plcifc
system. This arrangement will do away
with the necessity of remembering the
difference ia time between places while
travelling, as passing from one system to
another, one need only add or deduct an
hour according rs he goeg westward or
