| Under the car coupler law the railroads en-
gagged in interstate commerce will have until
January I, 1898, period Of FIVE years, to pro-
vide the locomotives and cars with the saftey
appliances required by the act. This is ample
time and the railroads ought to be we'll salts
fed with it, but it is to be expected that they
will make vigorous effort in the next con-
gress to have the law repealed or amended SO
as to extend the time. The popular senti-
ment OF the country, however, is SO strongly in
favor of this legislation that the next congress
will hardly dare to interfere with it.
