Railroad tickets usually contain
printed condition limiting liability of
the railroad company for loss of bag
gage to necessary wearing apparel not
more than 500 in value. The highest
appellate court in New York State has
recently decided that this applies only
to baggage regularly checked and car
ried by the road, and does not cover
handbags taken by the passenger in
the passenger car with him. In tins
case the handbag was taken by n
trainman to the other ond of the car
10 or Is minutes before arrival az the
station. and was ont of tho custody o.
the passenger on landing at the station.
Money and jewelrY werc missing from

now held liable. The result may he .
new regulation by the railroads. that
arainmen and conductors shall not help
passengers to carry any bags or par

It may be natural to attribute tho
view that President Tafts strength
has been improved by reciprocity and
other influences to republican partial
itv. IF we find this same view IN
democratic newspaper It will not be
possible to take this view 81 the sit
uation.
Tho democratic News and Courier
printed IN Charleston, 8. c., comments
as follows:
"Mr. Taft comes out of the fsht with
his hands clean. his wisdom vindicated,
and his hold on tho people stronger
than IT has been since Its Inaugural
ton insurgency is wreck. II
promised much and accomplished moth
ing. Yet some measure Of rehahilita-
ton is possible II the insurgents even
now join with the democrats 20 secure
revision Of the wooden schedule and 20
enforce such other relief from protcO-
trvc duties az tho democrats have mi
tiated in tho House. But insurgency
will never again reach high water
mark A. a political movement it is
cbhinE"
II will lie interesting to note what
the republican Insurgents have to say
IN reply to this diagnosis.
