The wholesale appearance of new suits and

Easter would hardly be Easter without
new gown, and the suggestion OF resurrect-
ing last years costume would be received
very irigidly by the majority of woman
kind, and would only be made by some
stern husband or father whose sordid ideas
might prompt it. Thus the day commemora-
tive of the resurrection of the buried is in
reality the occasion of the advent of the new
and the passing of the old. And really if good
fortune would attend for another year, some
thing new must be worn-at least SO says an
ancient and honorable superstition. So, If the

Perhaps no employe of the rail.
way company was responsible for
this particular disaster, but it is con
ceivable that the new ties, which
had just been dropped along the
side Of the track by section hands,
might have been, in the case of one
tie, so carelessly disposed of as TO
have produced this appalling result.
Il that were the case, and if passen-
gers had been aboard the train and
their lives sacrificed as those Of the
engineer, fireman and brakeman Of
this train were sacrificed, their heirs
would have been entitled to compen-
satory damages from the company.

Before o'clock the same evening
a majority Of the Wisconsin assem-
bly, had voted against exte nding the
liability Of corporations for injuries
TO their employees, on the basis of a
committee report that these employ
es had not appeared at Madison in
support of the bill for their own re-
lief. If the honorable members had
read in the newspapers of the same
afternoon of this 81 aughter, as they
might have done, the perusal should
have afforded them hint Of why
the employees were not at Madison,

ter, daily they ask representatives OF
their state to take reasonable care OF
their interests before the law; and
dying they see their representatives
turn away from them with indiffer-
ence. In the meantime railroad
passes have been more plentifully
dealt out by the members of the
present Legislature than ever before
in the history of this state. Among
railroad people in this vicinity, the
9th of April will be a significant
date for years to come.-Milloauket
