demand for this legislation we do not know. Travellers, and railroads seemed to be getting along fairly we'll though. of course, there may have been some grievances. There was also the ques- tion as to whether the railroads could, as a matter of fact, simply, by one of their own rules, limit liability to the extent of exempting them from pay ! ment for actual loss. ButHit was de- cided that a statute was necessary. Perhaps after the law has been in op-. eration for time, there will be- less delay and confusion. And it may be round that it serves useful purpose.
 But just now it does not seem to be popular. The fortunate folk who are on their way to seashore or mountains, With wagon loads of trunks, would ratner-it is believed-take their chances under the old system than be suoJected to the delays and incon- Veniences of the new. Perhaps this is a IeIorm for which there was an in siseent and genuine demand-and per- .i' maps not Just now it looks as though It were not. The law is having a try out and by the time congress meets again the people will, be in a position 70 say whether: they like it or not.
