THE Tunnel ACCIDENT.
The Evils of Conflicting Legislation
from the Christian Union.

From the Christian Union.l
Growing out of the recent terrible tun-
mel accident, the directors of the New
York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad
company have been indicted; not, how
ever, for manslaughter, but for misde-
meanor in having the cars of the railroad
heated by stoves instead of by steam, hot
water, or hot air, as required by the law
of New York state. That law directs
every road of over fifty miles in length,
after May 1, 1888, to take the stoves out of
its cars. The New York & Hartford rail
road is chartered in Connecticut, and has
but twenty-five and one-half miles of road
bed in New York. 1t had previously been
prosecuted for violation of the law, and a
demurrer interposed. The court of appeal
had overruled the demurrer and sent the
case down for trial, from which we Judge,
though we have not the text of the opinion
before us, that the court holds the railroad
amenable to the Law, although only twenty
five miles of it's roadbed is in the Empire
state. 1t is not for us to judge what the
law is upon this subject, nor whether the
directors of q corporation are criminally
liable as individuals for violation of the
law by the corporation which as board
they control. 1t would not seem to us just
that each individual director should be held
criminally responsible for violations OF
law by the corporation unless a criminal
intent or a criminal negligence were
brought home to him personally; and it is
equally clear that an interstate railroad
ought to be under national, not State
| control. Otherwise it would be quite con
ceivable that the Connecticut Legislature
might pass law forbidding corporation
| to use steam, and the New York legisla
ture pass law forbidding them to us
stoves, whereupon the corporation mus
either violate the law of one or the othe
State, or all passengers must change car
whenever the boundary line of the Stat
is reached; and this would be onl

RECENT PUBLICATIONS.

Sermons upon Faith, Hope and Love,
together with Hor@ Homiletice," is the
title of a book whose author is Professor
James NJ. Hoppin. He says in his pre-
face: "The prospect is not exhilarating
to him who puts forth . volume of ser
mons" The last of, these two modest
sentences is somewhat qualified further
on in the preface, when the sermons of
Frederick W. Robertson and Phillips
Brooks are referred to. And if the ser
mons put into this book by, Professor
Hoppin are not read it will not be be-
cause they do not well merit
reading. We believe that they
will find many readers who
will be helped and cheered by them. They
are nine in number, and their titles are:
The Energy of Faith; The Enlightening
Quality of Faith; Faiths Increase; Faiths
Lesson; Christian Hope; The Childlike
Spirit; A Song of Freedom; The Fold of
ChriUt; Love of an Unseen Saviour. Not
the least interesting and profitable part of
the book to many, and especially to theo-
logical students, will be the Hora
Homiletice. The answers to the questions
propounded are full of good sense, fair
ness and useful instruction. The book is
published in a very attractive way by
Dodd, Mead & Co, and can be had in New
Haven at the booksellers.

DEMoCRATIC DIsAPPOINTMENT

DEMOCRATIC DISAPPOINTMENT.
Awhile ago some of the Democrats were
chuckling over what they thought the Nc
Kinley law would do in furnishing them
campaign material for 1892. They made
such good use of it before its benefits were
realized that they were encouraged to ex-
pect still greater help from it. But they
will be most wofully disappointed. For
instance: For the seven months preceding
October, 1890, when the Mckinley bill
went into effect, the exports from this
country amounted to $426, ,044, 500, and the
imports to S499, ,345, lis. This left balance
of s73, 300, ,5s6 on the wong side of the
public ledger. 1t must be remembered
in this connection, of course, that
large quantities of dutiable goods were
hurried over here in anticipation
of the new tariff schedule The
first five months of the operation of the
Mckinley bill, however, puts very differ
ent complexion upon the public ledger
aforesaid Here are the figures: Exports,
$40, 1928, ,097. and imports 1914, 779, ,474
This shows that we exported nearly S27,
0O0,0 more during the five months COM
mencing with October than in the preced-
ing seven months, although it was stated
when the Mckinley bill went into effect
that our export trade would be ruined ,and
it also shows that s97, ,213, ,623 more money
came into the country from October 1 to
March l in payment for exports than went
out in payment for imports.
Facts like these cannot be distorted or
explained away. The Mckinley law is
fast proving its wisdom and value

If they are not there is sure to be conflict
ing legislation, as there is in the present
case. We have no idea that the violent
action of the New York authorities will be
sustained. 1t certainly ought not to be.
An English admiral, Sir Provo Wallis,
completed the one-hundredth year of his
age and his eighty-seventh in the British
naval service yesterday. Americans feel
9 special interest in him because in 1918
he was a second lieutenant on board the
frigate Shannon, which captured the Ches-
apeake off Boston harbor; and his two
superior officers having been killed in
that action, it devolved on Wallis to take
his prize into Halifax. For his conduct
in this engagement he was promoted to
the rank of commander in the royal navy
and specially thanked by the admiralty.
He is now the ranking officer of the royal
navy, and it appears that they are making
much of him in England.
A bill has been introduced in the Min
nesota legislature prohibiting any foreign
insurance company-that is, any company
whose home Office is outside the United
States, or the majority of whose stock is
owned or controlled by parties not citizens
of the United States-from doing business
in the State until it has deposited with the
State treasurer not less than $500, 900 in
vested in Minnesota securities. The pre-
tended reason for this is that the deposit
shall be held for the benefit of the policy
holders, although the policy-holders are
already secured against any possible fail
ure of these foreign companies by the pro,
visions of the federal law, which requires
each of them to deposit with the treasurer
of the State wherein is its principal Office
in the United States securities amounting
to $500, 900 and trust funds in the hands
of trustees to the amount of $500, ,00t
more-or half a million dollars in all.

IL o'clock
Town Sergeant j. d. Frier, had re-
ceived postal as follows from Peters
burg.
"Please lookout for my daughter who
run away from homo on June IS with
Charley Taylor. Her name is Rosa
Ramsey or French. She has short black
hair, small white spccks on sight of her
left eye. He is n tall, slim fellow with

Officer Lowry had just read the postal
and went down to the depot, where in
about half an hour he espied young
man and girl tramping down the rail
road. r.
Walking up to him he inquired if
they were not from Petersburg. The
girl said: NO we came from Rich
mOnd, then began to cry. She said
she knew if they came back here they
would get letched.''
They we're taken up town and locked
in the mayors office for while. Here
THE TIMES correspondent saw them and
the girl said here rame was Rosa Cor
don. She ran away because she was
badly treated by her father, who was
no doctor, and could not pay the reward
of $50 or half that sum. because he did
not have it.
He made her beg for him, and told
her never to refuse any money that was
offered her. Once her brother, who is
IL years old, ran away, and her father
never could pay the reward offered for
him, she said, when he was finally cap
tured. She said further that her father
had come to Petersburg from Norfolk,
where he was painter. They lived at
3O6 Bolinbrook avenue.
When Charlie Taylor, whom she had
known in Norfolk, told her u month ago
that he was going off to hunt work she
asked him to take her with hi n. They
went to Dinwiddic Court House, Hack
stone. Farmville, Lynchburg, Bedford
City, Roanoke, and had gone past Salem
when they found they were not getting
and were looking backward" when cap
tured.
Taylor said that he was going TO Lex
ington to work at his trade painting.
When TIE warrant was sworn out by
Sergeant Fries and issued by Squire c.
nj. Weber. charging that Charles Tay-
lor abducted. Rosa Ramsey, alias French,
for purposes of coDcutinage or prostitu-
ton, was read to them, the girl said:
"How's that, Charlie?" and Charlie re-
marked: II bedog if know"
He was lodged in Jail, but Rosa cried
SO hard at his departure she was al
lowed to stay in the hallway Of the
prison, where She could see Charlie
through the grating in his cell door.
They will probably be taken TO Lexinr.

from.
