Its occupants, will lie held, under the
law as censtrued by our courts, net te
liave been rcsiienslble for the accident.
It Is held that these who seek, afoot or
In ordinary vehicles, te cress a railroad
track must excrcise vigilance nod care,
and that If the approach of tlie train Is
properly signalled by its whistle, any
damage te these crossing its track by
their fallure te hear or observe is at
their own cost. In ether words, the en
ginehas tlie right of way and these
crossing its path must take notice and
beware.
The question is whether this doctrltie
Is the one which best construes the law
and whether, If se, the law properly
conserves tlie public interest. It must
ba admitted that Judicial construction
has heretofore favored railroad interests.
The idea has been that tlie railroad is a
great public convenience and that it
must be permitted te have- its fullest
development and scope. Naturally at u
railroad cressing.the common read which
has existed for centuries, and its users,
would be invested with ancient rights
aud privileges which the new laid rail
road could net take away. Hut the
Legislature gave the railroad the right
te cress the common read at grade,
and the courts have construed this priv
llege te give te the railroad trains the
right of way.
The Legislature undoubtedly madetke
Drat mistake; for most persons new,
Including railroad managers, will say
that railroads should net cress ether
reads at grade. And have net the
courts gene tee far entirely in putting
upon the people who ctes3the railroads
the burthen of watching for tlie rushing
trains V The courts have acted en the
idea that speed is necessary for the
trams aud that it would net de te ham
per them by requiring them te slow
down at every read crossing se as te
bring the train under such control that
it might be withheld from possible colli
sion with anything en the read.
But while It 13 true that speed is im

fastest trains en the Pennsylvania rail,
read are tlu30 which carry the passt n
gers and goods through the state without
stepping fei the accommodation of Penn
sylvania people. Why should Pennsyl
vania permit this dangerous sjiml at the
cost of her people, when there is no ad
vantage te them ? Citizens of New
Jersey are in worse pljght a great deal In
this regard than we nr,e ; for New Jersey
is nothing but a highway of rails bearing
many trains intended wholly for the
accommodation of the people of ether
states. Probably net a day parses with
out the killing of some one in New Jer
sey at a railroad crossing. That condi
tion of things in New Jersey is possible
because the railroads own the state. We
hope it 13 otherwise in Pennsylvania.

reads should be leqtilred in all cases,
where p isslbie, te pass ever or under

ticable and crossings at grade are per
mitted, the burthen of warning the
users of the ancient reads, of the
cemlig train, should belaid strictly
upon the companies, which can
readily meet the responsibility
by putting watchmen at the cross

an outrageous and unendurable thing
that the reads crossed by railroads should

Mind from the Siortlnvest.
Tiiis time it is from away out at Min
neapolis that the positive assurance
comes te us that Mr. TJlden lias been
persuaded te be a candidate for presl presl
dentfthe persuader being Mr. Hendricks,
who is modestly content new with the
second place, which four years age he
would net have en any consideration.
The Minnesota story has it that Jehn
Kelly has lent Hendricks ids assistance
te persuade Tilden, whom he lias assured
that the Tammany hatchet has been bu
rled and that New Yerk will be solid for
the old ticket. The only reason assigned
for Mr. Kelly's regeneration en tlie Til
den question is that he aims te balk the
presidential aspirations of Gov. Cleve
land.whem it is alleged he does net love
Certainly he does net love him a great
deal If he loves Tilden mere. If any.
thing political can ba accepted a3 certain
it is that Mr. Kelly is net an admirer of
Mr. Tilden ; and nothing is surer than
that if Mr. Tilden waits for Mr. Kelly's
invitation te become a presidential can
didate lie will wait forever. Mr. Kelly
is net the manner of man who may be
expected te change his well founded and
deliberately formed opinions. And he is
net for Tilden. Mr. Tilden probably is ;
forheisnot of the sort who abandon
their aims while llfe lasts and a hair is
left tohaugte. The Minneapolis Tri
bunc's story is only notable In that it
thrusts into Mr. Tilden'a besom two
men who cannot henestly get there.
Beth Hendricks and Kelly have record
ed their vlews of Tilden with tee much
emphasis te be able te run well in his
company. There is no reasui at all
te believe (n their reconstruction. Mr.
Kelly particularly, whatever his faults,
has never furnished occasion te charge
upon liim the insincerity and vacillation
necessary te bring him up smiling uew
as 11 Tilden champion. When next the
old ticket Is set nlleat we suggest that It
bj simply stated that Messrs. Tilden
and Hendricks are willing te serve the

In the tlrst place Sir. Spencer, wheu

great unknown te be known as a cause,
' the llrst cause " of everything that is,
This is involved iu that curlier stoue doc
triue which is tlie very basis of his system,
the law of the correlation and conservation
of forces, or, as he calls It, the persistence
of force. Just as net an atom of
matter is evor lest or destroyed 111 the
uuiveise, no according te this law, net a
pirticloef force is ever annihilated, but
only undergoes dilfereut changes of form
or manifestation. That light, electricity,
and all ether forces, are only se many
different manifestations of ene substance,
which is tlie sum of them all ; just as rain,
clouds, dew, rivers, the billows of the
ocean, are only se many d liferent forms of
tlie oue substance water. Yeu can change

" Irem the baldest materiality we rise at

Hemg tixeicims ferce or power' no tells

produea ch itiges, and which sorves te
symbelize the cau.su of changes iu goneral,
is the dual disclosure of analysis." Hy an
exmoiseof thu will I lift a weight aud ex
orclse ferce. Sly neighber lifts a weight
and from analogy we might say, I at ouce
am oenvlucod that my neighber exercised
ferce by an oxeroiso of Ins w.ll. And
precisely se, wheu I sce similar great re
suits wrought iu n iture, I roaseu that
s no ene, greater thau man or nature,
must have exercised his will te nxert the
foieo that did It. Thus Sir. Spencer's
argument te be completo net only ui rives
at the Idea of foreo as a property of the
Abselute Ueiug, but of conscious voluntary
foreo. Fer we really knew and can knew
nothing of foreo oxcept a ojiueious and
voluntary. This Is ail the theorist contends
for. A conscious neiug voluntarily ncuug
is a Persen.
Thus by the very reasoning used In os es
tablishlng evolution we arrive at the aame
truth taught in our religion. When the
earth quakes boneatli our feet, when the
storm bhrieka and howls wildly as it tears
up the Bea, or whoa Hell and forest
