rear. Certainly it is not beyond the ca
pacity of human ingenuity TO devise a
better method. The block system is such
q method and should be required Of every

its passenger trains, where it could be
adopted IL the block signals were put

We are not sufficiently wakened up in
this country to the idea that it is the duty
OF the legislature and the courts to pre-.
tect life and property as well rs it can be
protected, against the economical disposi.
tion of railroad managers, who adopt life
saving devices only when they pay.
We have a wonderful extent Of rail-
road in our country and we have all the
devices that make railroading profitable ;
and If it was profitable to have life saving
devices we would have them. But life saw.
ing is not prime consideration to the
railroad manager, and will not be until
life taking through his indifference sufii
ces to put him in the penitentiary. The
