Justice in Repeal
When all sides shall have been heard,
it is not too hazardous to predict that the
Legislatures of both States will recog-
nize the justice of the appeal and re-
trace a step which was taken improvi-
IDENTIFY and without full knowledge of the
facts.-PHblic Ledger, PHILADELPHIA
Evidence to Public
The public is ready to hear the evil

pie will see the point and have their rep
resentatives in the two legislatures re-
peal the Full Crew Laws.--Evening

railroads and make them throw away

of common sense-Pldin Dealer, Phila-
delphia.
Turn On the Light
The fact that the opponents of the re-

the light.-Moyning Sas, Baltimore.
