many people depend on it. Cars are
said to he run on ten minutes head
way. Even this would be poor SER
vice, but it is not given. Cars are
often fifteen and twenty minutes
apart. This line is used for the cars
to Newark, on which all passengers
are charged ten cents. This. we be-
lieve, is in violation OF law and of the
company's contract with the city. II
the company expects this illegal pro-
ceeding to be tolerated, it should COM
pensate by giving fair service on the
five cent ears running within the city
limits.

Damnum Absque Injuria sounds bad
But the only thing bad about it is its sound.
1t is a well known legal maxim and stands
for a sound principle. It asserts a fact, that
there is a case, in law, where a party may
be subjected to loss or damage, without hay
ing a right OF action against any one, to re
cover his loss. This principle comes home to
the man who has bought some real estate
and had the title searched, and, through no
fault Of the searcher, the title subsequently
proves defective. He has no remedy against
the searcher, and, if his grantor conveyed to
him without warranty, he must make good
his loss out of his own pocket. When The

THERE is one thing, however, for
which the. Traction Company is al
together responsible. This is the
very insufficient service on some OF
the lines. The GreenvilIe route is
abominably bad. Every day in the
week the service is atrocious during
the busy hours of the morning and
evening. Yesterday. when the travel
to Greenville was heavy, the condi-
ton of the cars was shameful. 1t is
the same way every Sunday. The
oyercrowding is as bad as In the worst

The Asphalt Pavement Matter.

The Asphalt Pavement Matter.
The vour4dt came to the rescue OF
the asphalt paving contractors last
Tuesday. This is bad for the con-
tractors. A cause must be pretty bad
when the Journal takes it up enthu-
siastically. Apart from this, we do
not undertake to say that there is
anything wrong with the contractors
or the contract. We simply insist
that the "chewing gum" scandal in
Philadelphia places the whole matter
of asphalt paving in new and doubt
full light.
In Philadelphia asphalt from Trini-
dad Lake is in use. 1t is SO bad that
pavements laid with it have come to.
be called "chewing gum pavements.
Heavy wagons stick in them. They
cannot be sprinkled to lay the dust
or facilitate sweeping, because water
rots the asphalt. The company which
laid them has guaranteed them for a
term of years, and threatens to with
draw its guarantee if the watering
carts are allowed to operate.
Now, these facts, all of which are
beyond controversy, make it incum-
bent upon our city officials to ask the
asphalt contractors some further
questions about the work that is be-
ginning here, and especially about
the quality of the material. Trini-
dad Lake asphalt is to be used here.
Will it be the same sort that Phila-
delphfa is so bitterly complain
