THE RIGHTS or PULLMAN TRAY
ELEES.

Judge Richie, of the Superior Court of
Baltimore. has recently made decision
as 10 the rights of passengers in Pull
man sleeping-cars, which AFFECTS q very
large part OF the public, and is attract
ing considerable attention. We quote
from the Philadelphia Press the fol-
lowing in regard to it:
THE rights Of passengers on Pullman
cars IS n matter which interests very
large portion Of the public. These rights
have never been exclusively defined,
and the American Law Register and Re
view. for November. does q pubic SER
vice by giving, in It's Progress OF the
Law tho full text of Judge Ritchie's
recent sleeping-car decision. The oe~
cision is rendered by a judge OF the Su-
periOr Court Of Baltimore. and it is 10
the effect that the purchaser OF section
ia a Pullman sleeping-car for given
trip has the right, on leaving the train
before he reaches his destination, to
transfer the use Of his section 10 another
first-class passenger for the rest OF the
trip for which il was sold.
This would seem 10 be a natural right,
at least. one founded in common sense,
and in other affairs of life involving the
possession OF the temporary title and
use OF property. commonly acquiesced in.
But railroad and sleeping-car companies
are not governed by analogies. If
man cannot use in its entirety right
which he has purchased, they prefer
that this inability shall work forfeit
ure, and not give "A right Of transfer
The law uphOlds railroad companies to
some extent in this claim, by constituting
the railroad company's contract OF car
riage to mean "A continuous trip by the
same person and on the same tram
Judge Richie maintains. however. that
there Is no analogy between the railroad
company contract TO carry and the Pull
man COmpany's contract OF a sale OF
given space in a designated car. Nhen
a railroad company has provided accom-
modations for passenger. and has parity
performed its duty. and stands ready 10
perform the rest, 1t would be unreason-
able to REQUIRE IL TO stand ready again
and again to respond 10 the call OF he
messenger. according as he may please
10 break his journey. In tho case OF the
Pullman Company. however, no addl-
tional duties are imposed on II by al
lowing the transfer of his section lot
the rest of the trip by passenger VINO
leaves the train: II is not subjected
,berebv to any additional risks. or 10 any
hindrance or delay, II hahdles 10 p"H-
gage. no additional attentions are re-
ou,red. and It makes no difernce Whe'n-
or the porter makes up the perrin anu
dusts off the seat for one passenger u
or another"
LAWYERS may criticise Judge Rtchies
reasoning. and say that imposing or not
,,,,os,ng additional duties can have no
influence in determining whether one
Ting or another thing was meant oy the
contract actually made. But the puphc
will. nevertheless, be much better saus-
fed If the judges opinion finally GENES

paying less for manufactured goods than
law was In force. Which system. then.
has brought the most good 10 the most
people? We can hardly maintain pa
tience enough 10 discuss such propo-
siton In moderate language.
The Washington Post quotes the Hon.
George a. Motif. of Detroit, as making
the following statement:
Few people are aware 10 what extent
the japanese are becoming our colnpet-
itors in the manufacture OF certain lines
OF goods. and II something is not done
10 counterfeit It, there will ere long 20
up big wall from our people
Not long ago a friend Of mine In New
York was waited on by the representa-
tive Of japanese firm, and shown sam
pies OF buttons made over there. inc
price asked was so low that my friend
supposed there was some mistake, but
ne was Convinced to the contrary and
gave an order of 5000. This is but one
instance. In the matter OF making
matches, they can send every concern
that produces them in the United States
INTO bankruptcy. OF course, the rea-
son lies In the difference OF wages Fifty
cents a week will pay for labor IN
Japan and we can't compete against
that"
And what of It? Comparatively bat
few people in the United States make
buttons. but every man, woman, and
child Of our seventy millions of people
wear buttons. Are all of them 70 pay
more for their buttons In order that
the few who make them may get better
wages? They had better support them
at once by charity. And tho same IS
true OF matches. But = few make
matches. while all use them. Give US
cheap articles. say we, and let every man
look out for himself. and not keep his
eyes on his government, looking out for
protection - which is another name for
robbing one man to give what is taken TO
another.

The Summer Resort Railroad.

PALMYRA, September 30.-The newly

projected line of 1856 miles, originated

Chicago capitalists over their delay
and roundabout journey in reaching
Lauderdale lakes. Palmyra Springs

inland lakes, within few miles radius,
with few or no railway facilities, who
advanced the idea of an electric rail-
way, direct from Chicago, with branch
connections to principal Wisconsin re-
sorts, for the rapid transit of passengers
and light freight. Walworth, Waukesha,
Jefferson, Dane, Rock and Washington
counties will be included in this road
and it's connections. Chicago and
Lake Superior road surveyors are also
at work in this county west of the
town line. On account of the expense
of building a road through the Kettle
Range of bluffs to the south and west,
it is anticipated that Palmyra will be a
branch of the main line of this sum.

Not Entitled to Damages.

An interesting suit in which the
right of farmer to permit the flow of
water from an artesian well to run
through another mans land was tried
during the present term of the circuit
court at J efferson and verdict returned
for William j. Pollock, the defendant.
William H. Green brought the suit for
$3.50 damages. Both gentlemen are
town Of Hebron farmers. The defend
ant alleged that the overflow from the
well had run through Mr.. GREEN'S land
since 1877, and that the right had become
established by the permission thus
granted. In 1892 the we'll was drilled
deeper, which resulted III an increased
flow of water. By the use of plugs the
flow was reduced to not more than the
previous volume of water, and the jury
decided that the plaintiff was not en-
titled to damages.
