that a decision should net be reached by
merely counting the number of petitioners
and the number of remenstranta.and decid
ing in accordance with the preponderance
of numbers. Reference must particularly
be had te the character of the signers, and
te their knowledge of the subject and their
ability te form au opinion thereon. The
court held that general remenstrances were
of no value and that only citizens of the
township, ward or borough in which the
house is located should sign petitions or
remenstrances.
In the last mentioned point there is solid
wisdom that is recommended te the sign
ers of petitions and remenstrances iu this
county for licenses whereof they knew

Railroad Inspection.
The frequency of railroad horrors of late
may be a very fortunate thing, for many
of them concentrated into a space of a few
weeks are much mere impressive than
when scattered ever a year, and it the
reads will ever be forced te proper caution
it can only be through earnest and con
tinued popular demand for it, stimulated
by the vivid presence of the danger. The
accidents of late have caused the traveling
public te raise a firm demand for state
inspection of read bed and rolling stock,
with laws establishing the requirements
consistent with safety. There are several
theories te account for the collapse of the
" tin bridge " at Rosten, but the discovery
of an old and rusted fracture in the iron
girder is evidence that proper inspection
would have condemned it and possibly
have averted the accident. As the con
stant jarring often changes the nature of
the metal, there must always be an ele
ment of danger in iron bridges, and it may
be very difficult te avoid accidents from
broken rails, but in these days of scientific
method it should net be hard te establish a
system of testing both the materials of
construction and the plaut in use. Sound
may be used as a test and a rail
can readily, in reply te a blew from a
hammer, be made te tell whether
it is reliable. There is no doubt that
science can furnish an expert with means te
detect failure in the sufficiency of bridge
and track and cars te safely de their work,
if it is called upon. Railroad officials are
supposed te be sufficiently Interested, in a
pecuniary way, te endeavor te secure the

sueh thorough and competent inspections
practiced upon all reads as there
should be ; and the question is whether
there should net be legislation te
enforce such inspection. We believe it is
conceded that iron and steel have a limited
life in bridges, especially where constant
jar produces crystallization. It would seem
te be proper that railroad bridges at least
should be statedly inspected by state au
thority. Their cost is se great, and the
consequent reluctance of a railroad te re
place them when they Bheuld ba re
placed, se natural, that the state authority

the public safety.
The Truth About the ileal.
There surely needs te be eeme curb put
upon the disposition of the journals of
the larger cities te announce as facts what
they well knew te be fiction, and te lie un
blusblngiy and in detail. This Baltimore
& Ohie story is the last and worst specimen
of the style. The enterprising journals
of New Yerk and Philadelphia have en
joyed a bonanza in it for a week, and still
have columns of statements te make pur
porting te give the very exactest truth
about it. The work is easy because it is all
of the imagination. Upen a faint fact for
foundation we are told wonderful tales of
combinations and counter combinations
and the great Baltimere & Ohie rail
road is tecsed about from Tem te Dick as
though it was but a mouthful for any tom
tit of a stock speculator te buy and swal
low. The fact about the matter seems simply
te be that Mr. Garrett is still seeking, as he
has long been doing, te get his railroad te
New Yerk. lie was lately unexpectedly
defeated by the alliance of the Heading rail
road's new management with the Fennsyl
vania railroad, after he had built a read te
Philadelphia te jeiu the Beading, under an
agreement with the receivers. It seems
that this agreement does net held water.
Mr. Garrett undertook a negotiation with
Mr. Cerbln and the parties who control a
great system of reads leading south from
Richmond, by which lie carried them te
Philadelphia with the Baltimore & Ohie,
and they were te carry him te New Yerk
by the Reading and Jersey Central, which
they were supposed te control. The ar
rangement seems te hang fire because of
tbe failure of tbe second parties te control
the New Yerk and Philadelphia cennec
tlen. The Pennsylvania railroad lias a
strong grip upon the men who will have
the control et the Reading under the reor
ganization scheme, and te whom Its control
seems already te be confided by the receivers.
