Frank Leslie's Illustrated.
We give an illustration repre-
senting one of the drawbridges
over the Hackensack river, IN New
Jersey, with a lighter creeping
slowly through, causing a serious
delay TO thousands OF business men
travelling by rail, who are compell-
ed TO wait the sweet will of the
tide to help the boat through and
the draw to close. Delays similar
to this are of frequent occurrence
on the railroads crossing this and
other watercourses, and the ques-
ton naturally arises whether the
ancient law enacted in the days of
our forefathers, when sail predomi-
mated over rail, and vessels we're
the means of communication,
should not be abolished, Or at least
modified. Several communications
have recently appeared in the New
York Tribune from commuters on
the lines of the New jersey roads
complaining strenuously of the re-
cent DELAYS by insignificant craft,
and ii is hoped that the Legislature
of that State will take The matter
into consideration and afford the
reliefso urgently desired by ihous-
ands Of suburban residents. In
Massachuse sets the law recognizes
in the modern railroad equal rights
with those accorded to the use of
navigable waters-that is, neither
the RAILROAD nor the water craft has
the right of way-that while the
vessel has forever had a right TO pas
sage through navigable channels,
the State also has a right to OBJ
struct navigable waters for public
purposes. Upon inquiry, we find
that the Old Colony Railroad in
Massachusetts, closes its draw for
fifteen minutes,before and after The
time at which a tram is due, ex.
cept In Boston proper, where such
a rule would probably keep a draw
closed continuously, on account of
the numerous trains. Vessels are
let through this active draw, how
ever, at the best convenience of
passenger trains without regard 10
statute which permits the fifteen
minute arrangement. The Boston
and Maine Railroad requires a yes
sci 10 wait a reasonable time-the
matter having been amicabIy ar.
arranged between the vessel-own-
ers and railroad officials. The New
York and New England Railroad
has an arbitrary schedule, The draw
being closed during certain hours
in the morning and evening when
travel is heaviest.
This is certainly more in accord
ance with the changed condilIun
and increased magnitude of trans
interests, and could be
initiated in this vicinity without
prejudice or serious inconvenience
to the craft that navigate the Hack
ensack or other similar rivers. We
certainly have outgrown the rule
Of the English common law, that a
corporation which bridges a navig-
able stream is an intruder.

TIE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
Cleveland, Thurman and a Clean Ad-
ministration,

We are pleased 10 place at ouI
mast head, as the standard bearer:
of the National Democratic party.
the names of Grover Cleveland, OF
New York, tor President, and Allen
G. Thurman, of Ohio, for Vice
President.
Mr.. Cleveland, the present in
cumbent, has proven himself the
man for both strength in a contest
and stability az an executive off.
Ger. AS he was the fortunate choice
OF the party in 1884 he is the indis-
pensible candidate for 1888. lie
has been severely tried, and the
country has found in him a man
for emergency. UnswerYing recti.
tude of purpose, true fidelity to
Democratic principles, honesty and
have marked his admin.
istratiOn, and now unsought and
unsolicited he receives, as a matter
of course, the denomination and
welcome plaudit swell done,
thou good and faithful servant"
II seems, indeed, that he Is some
thing more than an available,
party man, but is a political
necessity. In the midst of dlvi-
SONS, facilities and disturbing ele.
ments, Grover Cleveland is to the
States Government what
was to the French EN-
pire.
Hon. Allen g. Thurman, the Old
Roman of Democracy, leavens the
loaf. A purer representa-
live of Democracy of the old school
could not have been found. He is
now far advanced in years, but
finding him still in harness after a
life of faithful service, the
party could not do a better thing
than to elect HIM to the Vice Pres
idency, both as a tribute OF respect
TO him, and 10 preserve in the tick
ct the identity of The Democratic
in power with the party of
and disappointments. 1t
was with this idea, doubtless, that
a st. Louis delegate remarked, in
of Thurman !: "We want
one Democrat on the ticket" We
congratulate the party that, indeed,
there is a Democrat on the ticket.
