TIE RIGHTS OF RAILROAD TRAVELLERS.

The daring adventurer who would explore
New-Jersey on railroad trains may hereafter
find n new danger among the risks involved.
When he purchases ticket TO travel on any
train he thereby makes himself party 10
whatever matter may be printed on that tlcket
and is assumed to have made contract on
that basis with the company. Perhaps the
ticket will say that the company does not Dlnd
itself to cover the journey at a greater rate
than ten miles an hour, or it may set forth
declaration refusing absolutely to be RESPONSE
bic for accidents, no matter how they occur.
Hundreds of other conditions or the most up'
usual. extraordinary and preposterous charac-
ter might be put upon the tickets II the respon-
sible officials so ordered, and every purchaser
of n ticket would be held to have assented to
everything lust the same as II he had know
lngly signed an agreement to that effect
This is no fauciful picture. but Is merely
rough outline Of what is possible under the law
in New-Jersey as Interpreted by the Supreme
Court. In n case decided last week Justice Van
syckel laid down this principle:
The rights Of the passenger must be measured
by the contract he made with the company.
Whether the conditions annexed to 1t are reason
able Is q matter Of no legal Importance what-
ever: the parties were competent to contract,
and made the contract for themselves ana IL
could not be altered or abrogated by one OF the
parties TO it without the consent OF the other.
That decision, it is true, may be reversed by
the Court of Errors and Appeals II the case
should be carried up but the probabilities are
that it will be left for the Legislature to say
whether or not passengers are bound as II by
contract 10 conditions printed on railroad tick
cts regardless Of their reasonableness.

Alas that this explanation though plausible. is

"a simpler mode OF life is the cry

unless 1t is followed by action? We
are all agreed that we ought to live
more simply. but we are all afraid to
make any change ourselves. We do
this and have that, not because we wish
