train ut the station at Lawnside. and
was struck and Instantly killed bv an
other train running on n track which
lay between the train from which he
alightcd and the station. There was
nothing to prevent his seeing the train
had he looked before stepping upon tho
track. 1t was contcnded that he was
negligent. The lower court gave iude
ment Tor the plaintiff and the railroad
company appealed. The court says:
What is the duty of passengers where
after they have alighted, there is ne
cessity to cross a track in order to
reach the company's station? We are
asked to apply the same rule Of duty to
look and listen that is rigidiy enforced
upon the traveller OH Il highway. There
Is plain difference between the case Of
such traveller. about to cross rail
road and the case OF passenger enti-
tied TO safe conduct to or from the COM
pany's station. In this state, ana in
most other Jurisdictions this difference
is recognized by the courts. "They (the

to pass over it. at the point where pas
sengers are required to cross 1t, while
a train is receiving or discharging pas
sengers." Mr. Justice Dalrimple said
that O. passenger. crossing n track

M Bryan States The Platform
The democratic leader in 1900
will not only be William j.
Bryan but the header will die
tate the platform. Every con-
/ ference, committee meeting or
/ assembiage OF the national de-
mocraEy makes this fact plain.
The speeches of Mr.. Bryan are
therefore not simply arguments
IN support OF Il possible propo-
5itiol burt have well nigh the
weight Of Il party platform. III
his Chicago address he stated
with ClearnesT and courage his
views upon the Chief issues OF
the next campaign.
The endea vov to secure inter
national bimetallisln, he deClar-
sd, is a confession that the GOLD
standard is unsatisfactory. The
failure to secure international
hilnetallism makes independents

necessary. The obligations Of
this government are payable in

on this proposition is, therefore.
Il simple one. Do the voters,
wish to perpetuate the gold
standard or do they wish to,
commence the payment OF coin
obligations, if need be, in either
gold or silver
Upon the question of trnst
Mr.. Bryan says that tie attor-
ney.general Of the United
States should seek to enforce
the antitrust laws IF these.
are not sufficient new ones.
sll~pld be enacted and, if neces-
sary, an amendment to the con-
stitution should be adopted.
The present encouragement
has failed or refused to make
attempt to enforce the federal
anti trust laws. The second
question, therefore, is Whether,
the voters wish to seek to sup
press trusts by federal legisla
ton or not.
Upon the question of irnperi4
alism Mr.. Bryan proposes It
welldetiued policy. The Fill

Independence, he says, and pro-
teCted from outside interference,
while they work out their OVID
destiny. The voters may thus

tain the principles Of the Dec
laration of independence.
It will be we'll for the AmerJ-
can voters, If the republican,

the world OF the almost limitlest

with this country. We fought a
victorious war all on a cash basis
and we have a cash balance in our
treasury of about $55,000,00O
more than we had one year ago.
