Hitherto England's laws have beer
liberal with the railroads ofthat coun.
try, and every opportunity has been
afforded the stockholders for reaping
the largest possible returns from theii
Investments. The present session OF
Parliament is considering some bills
which the railways consider exceed
ingly hostile to their interests. One
provides for the regulation of the
hours of railway employees, and anotll-
er requires all roads having termini
in London TO put on cheap trains for
the laboring classes. Those, and
other anti-railroad bills, are being
vigorously fought by the companies,
but it is believed they will become
laws.

The first opinion written by Justice
Jackson, of the Supreme court, has
been handed down, and is a pleasant
surprise 10 those who looked upon
him as a defender of the doctrine OF
state sovereignty. The question was
whether a person extradited from
one state to another can be tried for
any other offcnense than the one on
which the extradition was secured
The court holds that such exemption
is not provided for by the constitution
of the Unitsd States. The decision is
a strong anti-state rights paper.
