civilized man and woman hopes. Of course, that
physical conflict may be avoided, but II tn
temper developed at the Belfast demonstration
is accurately portrayed then there is ample au-
thority for tie conclusion that real trouble
is an easy probability. 1t can hardly be
disputed that an Irishman will fight at any
time in any place and for almost any sort Of q
reason. This national tendency was not re-
tarded by Mr.. Balfour's Belfast speech, which
was palpable Indictment to lawlessness. He
said he was not surprised that the indignation
Of Ulster men had overfiown all bounds and
that they had threatened extreme measures In
their own defense, and then he added fuel to
the fame by practically pledging the active
assistance Of friends in England "who would
spare no sacrifice to save them from the fate
which had been planned for them by the men
in power" He hoped they would not have to
fight, but il they did their acts would be
justi6able. Such words are ominous. Win

by the experiences Of those who dwell in cite
and who are thankful day after day that theil
lives have not been crushed out on some Of -.
too-numerous grade crossings. There il nj
material difference between trains impellet
by steam and trains that owe their movement
to electricity. Wherever the tracks cross &
public highway there should be either elevation
or depression and when the line closely paral-
lels road there should be substantial separa-
ton by suitable fence. No portion of trav-
eled thoroughfare should be surrendered.
Years ago the county of Alexandria presented
what ia now the Pennsylvania Railroad with q
magnificent highway, first making q condition
that that portion Of it set apart for vehicles
should be properly maintained. Having taken
all 1t needed for railroad purposes the company
neglected its contract and is willing to return
to the county what it does not need. Corpora
tive disregard of public obligations Of that sort
is too common; it should not be possible to du-
plicate it at this day. But the dwellers on the
boulevard route will have to be eternally
vigilant
