TuE New York Tunes has. "out Of
curiosity, kept 2 record of the accidents
on the railroads of the United States that
have been noted during the month of June
in the columns of four of the newspapers OF
this city" The results are somewhat
startling, Although no great and especial
ly fatal accident occurred during the
month, there were "a accidents in all, with
the death of - persons and the injury of
1870 persons. This makes no account of
the damage to property. which must have
been considerable. But the fact that rail
way travel is still accompanied with more
dangers than it should be is the important
thing to bear in mind after ALL We have
made great progress of late years in the
direction Of luxury, and much also of safe
ty. But has our progress been as rapid IN
the one direction as in the other? The
Times says that most of the accidents
! could with greater care and caution have
been avoided This means that IN many
cases the blame Is to be imputed to the
victims themselves. Nevertheless il is
clear that the railway companies have not
wholly fulfilled their duty to the public
until they have protected travellers, so far
as they can, against the results of their
! own careieSsness. This sort of protection
| we shall not have so long as there are
many grade crossings, platforms, access tc
which is gained by crossing the tracks,
passenger cars without gates, freight cars
without safet couplers, and so on through
the list of methods now tolerated on many
! roads.
