THE question Of liability on tho part
Of railroads for damages to dead heads
whilst riding on a free pass has been
frequently discussed and variously de.
cided. The New York general common
pleas court has decided that although
the terms of free passes make the con.
dition ofnon-liability, yet if the holder
when injured, was In a sleeping car or
one where he PAID ioy extra comfort,
the company would be liable for any
damage he might sustain by reason of
accident TO the train. The court hold
that it was not necessary to inquire into
the arrangement between the company
and a sleeping or parlor car proprietor
ship, but that rs no one without leave of
tho railroad could run cars ON their
track, it was presu nablo such cars were
run for tho boned of the road.

THE Montgomery advertiser thinks
the state Of affairs between Russia and
England similar to that which eventu-
ated in the war between the United
States and Mexico, but that war may
be averted by common sense and
diplomacy. The HERALD cannot see it
just in that light. Whilst the circum-
stances of disputed territory and
armies in contiguous sections are the
same, are not the same causes apt to
lead to the same effect? How long will
those armies remain? And which OF
the two great powers would be willing
TO remove its troops? Certainly, so
long as these forces are so near to each
other there is daily, not only posi-.
bility, but probability, OF collision;
nor does it look at all likely that either
England or Russia would consent, or
could consent to the removal of both
armies, as matter of compromise.
Other interests have to be guarded, and
the armies must remain.

The position of post office inspector seems to
be very desirable one in the opinion of great
many who wish office under the government,
and since the 4th of March there have been be-
tween two and three hundred applications re-
ceived by the Postmaster General for these
places. The force of inspectors and special
agents numbers ITO. Recently several were
discharged on account of the reduced condition
of the fund appropriated for their pay. 1t is
probable that other changes will follow soon
and thus give an opportunity for some of the
anxious applicants to serve their country in this
capacity. The Postmaster General is consider
ing plan of getting up special examination,
which the applicants will be required to pass
before the appointment is made. These posi-
tions are outside of the civil service rules, but
Postmaster General Villas is of the opinion that

Ieved his father would enjoy a quiet and easy

rangement. Mexico will insist upon a recogni-
ton of her own claims against Guatemala
These claims date all the way from 1S:s9. and
grow out of a long list of outrages committed by
Guatemalans who crossed over into Mexico,
and on MeXicans in Guatemala. Many Mexi-
cans have been forced to join the Guatemalan
army, and many have been struck by Barrios
with his own hand. Mexican commercial i'm.
terests in Guatemala have been willfully inter-
fered with. In one instance a Mexican house
bought a large quantity of coffee in Guatemala.
on which the export duty was quintupled by a
special order of the government, so that the cof-
small portion only being exported in order to
secure evidence for a claim for damages. The
receipt for these eXtortionate duties is now In
possession of the Mexican government. Mexico
therefore, has a clear case against Guatemala
but will obtain redress peacefully, If possible.
