Liability of Railway Directors.
New York Herald

Mr.. Chauncy Nj. Depew regards the arrest
Of the New Haven directors as absurd and
ridiculous and declares that there is no law
under which railway directors can be held for
the consequences of accidents. He remarks
that he is a director in more than thirty such
corporations, and President Roberts. of the
Pennsylvania in more than hundred Are
they TO be held personally responsible for uc-
cidents on each and all Of these lines? Rail
way directors are the responsible man
ayers of the corporation. On them
depends whether the road shall be
safely equipped and operated, whether life
or limb shall be secure or exposed to peril.
OF course the directors are not liable for the

THE recent orgy in the funeral train in
which the body of the late Senator Hearst
was being transported TO California has called
the attention of the whole country to the dis
grace which always attaches to COMPRESSION
a funeral. These occasions, instead Of being
solemn and impressive as they should be. are
too frequently converted into regular holidays,
and made the opportunity for ndulging in
drunken sprees after the style of the tradi-
tional wake instead OF showing respect TO
the honored dead. II is about time Congress
sional funerals were abolished, and that the
bodies of deceased Congressman be quietly
and decently inferred in the earth. All gen
tlemen desire such disposition of their
remains.

a GREAT and important question Of state
has at last been settled. Hon. Jerry Simp-
son. of Kansas, does wear socks. He him
self has said It, for he made confession TO
that eject at the Farmers Alliance mass
meeting last Wednesday in Annapolis. Nd.
lie said that it was true the high protective
tam weighed 80 heavily upon the Kansas
farmers that many of them were too poor to
buy socks. but that AS far as he was con-
cerned, when he ran for Congress lie was
opposed by e silk-stocking Republican. and
when the battle came of he captured his OBJ
ponents stockings, shoes and all. So il
turns out that the Hon. Jerry not only wears
saokA but that bis socks are silk stockingA
