Railway Crossings at Grade.
Philadelphia Ledger.
An article recently published in the
Ledger upon the dangers of trespassing
upon steam railway tracks, by which so
many lives are sacrificed every year
brings up the closely cognate subject Of
railway crossings at grade. AS to tres
passing on the tracks-that is, by using
them as common highways by pedestri-
ans-the opinion was expressed that such
trespass should be corrected by penal
law, vigilantly and steadily enforced, and
this for the safety Of the trespassers
themselves as we'll as in the interest and
for the safety Of the travelling public.
This we repeat, and add that some ade-
quate corrective and compulsory legisla-
lion is needed in the matter Of the cross
ing highways at grade. AS that impor-
tant matter stands now, it is subject to
no effective general law. 1t is all a mat
ter of makeshifts and chance-driftinq

along, either in the laying out Of new
streets, highways or common roads. or in
the changing extension or readjusting OF

tinue, AS we all know, it has been toler

THE News of this morning hastened to
read a moral lecture to the Democratic
editors Of the state and to those Demo
Gratis in general who had given credence
and circulation TO the late campaign yarn
that Mr. John Wanamaker had furnished
money to buy Delaware The News
bases its virtuous indignation on a letter
which Mr.. Wanamaker wrote to Colonel
+. T. Cooper Of Dover who had asked Mr..
Wanamaker in previous letter as to the
truthfulness Of the reports then current.
Both Of these letters were first published
in the EVENING JOURNAL yes
terday. The News borrowed them this
morning without a word of credit. Now,
will it not strike these awfully wicked
Democratic editors that newspaper
which gets its news from other journals
without giving credit for it, has no
moral right to read homilies TO anybody
We have no doubt that a marked copy OF
to-day's News has been sent to Mr..
MananaNer But what will that gen
tleman think OF a journal that under

WIS reprint to-day an editorial express
sion from the Public Ledger Of Phi'adel-
phia on the necessity of legislation that
will uniforml forbid persons from using
railroad tracks in that city as avenues for
walking. The suggestion is timely and
it applies as well to Wilmington as to
Philadelphia. In order TO protect the
persons against themselves It should be a
punishable offense to walk on the rail
road The Public Ledger does not go far
enough however Probably the topography
of Philadelphia, which is fiat, and the
great number Of tracks in the city have
led the Ledger regard any further means
OF protection as impossible. But here it
is different. Wilmington is so situated
that the best possible protection could be
afforded to human life without making
Il a misdemeanor to walk on the track.
Here all the dangerous tracks could be
so placed as TO make IL troublesome for
folk 20 walk upon them. All the more
dangerous trains, because Of their rapidity
which is commonly fifteen and twenty
miles an hour, could be taken through this
city on elevated tracks, which would give
perfect immunity to the ordinary way
farer. II would be entirely practicable
TO elevate the p, w & B tracks in this
city, while the B. & p. tracks would now
be on a safe plane, either above or below
every street crossing if Council had
understood or had performed its duty to
the community few years ago Indeed,
there is no insurmountable obstacle to
putting all the tracks in the state either
above or below the roads. The time will
come when public sentiment will demand
this reasonable provision for the safety
of persons who use the ordinary roads.
A human life. or even a human limb
should be worth more to the state than
the cost Of an overhead bridge. The
practice is the contrary. few dollars
saved to a railroad company is obviously
of more concern TO the state-and this is
the case all over the country-than the
limbs or lives OF score Of citizens
Laws are needed at once that viii deter
persons from using railroads as side
walks but there should be a movement
made towards putting all railroad tracks
ON plane that ensures perfNr. safety to
those persons who stick TO the highway.
