Si 'K fik t mi. 14 h AMATEUR SOLDIERY. - A Spirited Discussion of the' Rational 'luard by Able Writers. KIND WORDS FROM GEN. SHERMAN Shot at the Militia Ij Elder Evans and William Kinvan Xorcross. HOW IT STBIKES FEMININE HEAETS trEETAIUED FOB TUX DISPATCH. 1 Our National guardsmen may be sur prised that anybody should raise the cry, "Away with them!" It is a Quaker elder who thus demands the abolition of amateur soldiers, and his reasons are below set forth, to be answered at once by several distin guished contributors to a symposism on the subject. There has of late been current a rumor that General Sherman regarded the militia contemptuously, and would like to see the regiments either disbanded,.or offi cered wholly by "West Point graduates. The Teteran writes a precisely contrary view, aftd advocates a substantial support of the different State military organizations by the National Government. There is a decorous Quaker condemnation by Elder John B. Evans, and a much more violent outcry for abolition from William Kirwan Xorcross. But these two articles are onset by those of the Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage, D. D., and the Kev. Howard Crosby, D. D. There is a strength of statement in H. It. Elliott's favorable arguments. Then we have, also, some feminine admirations of the handsome soldiers, worded in a heartfelt way by a woman. On the whole, we think that the National Guardsmen who read this matter will be encouraged to remain about as they are. A QUAKER DISLIKES THEM. They Should bo Abolished In the Interests of Peace and Itelicion. As a consistent Quaker, it is no wonder that I am opposed to soldiers of any sort, aud I cannot understand how preachers of the gospel of peace, no matter to what de nomination belonging, can consistently act as chaplains of military organizations on parade. Not long ago I saw Talmage rid ing at the head of a body of citizen soldiery, bowing proudly right and left to the crowd; and I suppose there is no difficulty in ob taining a clergyman as chaplain jf every regiment in the land. Away with the Na tional Guard! Do wp officially educate men to be thieves or murderers? Then why train men to be homicidal fighters? It is a dis grace to civilization, and especially to Christianity, that a free government should drill its people to proficiency in the taking of human lite. "Would there have been a "War of the Bebellion it military science had been unknown in our country? But it may be asked, should the United States leave itself defenseless against foreign invasions? I say yes. But even granting that de ensive warfare is excusable, it should be conducted largely almost entirely by mechanical and material means. Destroy chips and forts, ruin properties and possess lands, but do it with as little sacrifice of life as may be, and never educate civilians as Boldiers. Let the profession of arms, if we must still tolerate that remnant ot barbarism at all, be taught at "West Point and An napolis only. But abolish the amateur soldier. He is a disgrace to himself and the rest of us. John B. Etaks. SHERMAN'S COMMENDATION. Etate Soldiery Should te Supported Re cardleai of Went Point. My belief is that the several States should encourage their select militia or State guard utterly irrespective of West Point; and that the National Government should lend a hand by providing arms and equipments, tents and camp equipages, and pay when they are called into service. Our theory on the subject is that our own standing army is merely a nucleus, around which an army can be organized. Although we have now but about 30,000 officers and men in cur regular army, yet we could easily assemble around this little nucleus, within 60 days, an army of a million or more if necessary. But this theory and practice compel the Government to keep nearly all our troops on our Western frontier. At this dav there are not sufficient troops in all our Eastern cities to suppress a well-organized riot in either of them. We are almost entirely de pendent on our National Guard. Fortu nately lor us, we have in most cities disci plined and reliable regiments. The cost of suDporting them is but a trifle, while their value in the protection of lite and property cannot be estimated. Their very presence has on many occasions prevented threatened disturbance. In another point of view these regiments are ot great value to the country at large. Our great difficulty at the breaking out of the rebellion was in obtaining competent officers to lead our men. In providing our volunteers with officers, every well-organized regiment of State troops was of great value to the country. But to return to my proposition that the National Government should help the States in supporting the militia, no reasons for such a policy need be sought outside General Washington's urgent appeal to Congress in his several speeches addressed to them during his administra tion. William T. Sherman. DR. TALMAGE APPR0TES. The Gnzrdimen Are Defenders and Promo ters of CiTiltzation. There have been occasions when the Na tional Guard, the great civil-military organ ization, has been absolutely necessary as a conservator of peace. It is for such emer gencies that the military is of inestimable value. Nothing is more complimentary to our American institutions than the calm after the elections. "It is unsafe to give Iree ballot to the masses of the people," said foreign despots and monarchists. "Re publicanism is mobocracy." "You are a bubble-bursting nationality," said Lord John Bnssell. Before the elections it some times seems that anarchv is about to take possession of the people; but by the time the people have read the Wednesday news papers their pulses begiD to slacken. The Toters go back to their places of business perhaps a little jaded from being out to near the late returns. The political clubs are disbanded, and a few men left to pay the larger expenses. The stump orators go home to eat troches for sore throats. The victors for a little while feel jubilant, and the minority are somewhat depressed, but in a little while all is placid, as though nothing of importance had happened. So we have again illustrated that Bepub licanism is not mobocracy, and if this is a bubble-bursting -nationality, it takes it a great while to burst. Our Government has made her trial trip so successfully, that in all the political dockyards ot the world there will be Governmental craft fashioned after the same pattern. T. De Witt Talmage. MORE CLERICAL SUPPORT. Howard Crosby Deems tbe National Gaard a Necessity of Cities. A citizen soldiery may never be called upon to fight a battle, and yet be a genuine defense of the community. The prevention of insurrection and anarchy is a better de fense of the State than their extinguish ment In every large city there are lawless elements ever ready to promote confusion for private benefit and crazy philosophers ' ever ready to second them. Law, as such, Juu no moral weight with these characters. They can be restrained only by the idea of force. In a country like ours, where a national army is needed only for the Indian frontier and the tenanting "of forts, the na tional farce is not sufficient to repress'city ruobb. Nor can a local police, with its com paratively small numbers and its limited armament, be expected to do more than check the sporadic ebullitions of crime. The citizen soldiery meet the requirements of the case exactly. Hade up of citizens in terested in the city's welfare, and taking pride in its order, they form an army in themselves with the full apparatus of war, the knowledge of whose existence is an effectual curb to the vile and violent pas sions of the lawless. Howabd Cbosbt. PRAISE AND REASONS. In Peace Prepare for That Warfare Which Happily Slay Never Come. In no direction does the theory of self government show to better advantage than in our militia system. "While the aristocrat governments of Europe are staggering under the expense and waste of standing armies, we are able to maintain order within our own borders, and command respect and good usage abroad, at a nominal cost and a small drain upon the best time and strength of young men. The existence of standing armies is a good proof of the artificiality of monarchies; for it may well be doubted if any people, left to themselves would sustain costly, brutal and wasteful armaments. For tunately, one reason and one excuse for their maintenance, the vicinity of rival nations, does not exist among us. It is simply of vital importance that our regular army should be kept down to the smallest possible streneth. A certain famil iarity with the most efficient methods of de fense and enginery of destruction is part of the duty of the citizen, and should form part of his education. It is a satisfaction to teel that this truth is recognized by young America. At present our militia is strengthened, and lor many years to come will be strength ened, by the presence either in the ranks or among tbe masses from which it is drawn, of trained soldiers who demonstrated on many hard-fought battle fields that they were the equals in nerve and discipline of the armies ot Europe. General Yon Jloltte probably would not call our troops "armed mobs" if he had to fight them among the swamps, wild land and mountains which formed the theater of the civil war. If tbey deserved that name during the early cam paign of the war, the close of the contest showed the world armies which would be formidable anywhere. The efficiency of the militia in the several States varies greatly, and in some sections of the country needs raising; but it is not too much to say that, were war to burst out suddenly between any foreign power and ourselves, we could instantly show a de fensive strength which would compel an enemy to use the greatest caution and ad dress 'in attack, and in a short time we could put into the field an army sufficiently strong and efficient to protect us,against any prob able armed invasion. H. B. Elliott. GIRLS SO ADiltKE THEM. A National Gaardamaa Appeals Strongly to Feminine Fancy. Rub-a-dub, rut-a-plan, hurrah, hurrahl The soldiers are coming, and every feminine heart, from "the -ae that throbs under lace and satin to that under the bib of a linen apron, beats faster. What is the witching fascination of epaulettes and brass buttons? We have all seen it. Nay, is there a girl of ns who has not felt it? Is it the man or his clothes? This question I propounded to a young lieutenant the other evening. He was a blonde-haired, sweet-faced boy; an ideal military beauty; a sort of Onidaesque hero. I knew him to be an idol of women, petted and lionized wherever he showed his handsome face and erect, manly figure in uniform. He was an excursionist to the National Guard Convention in Washington. "Well, both." he answered with some hesitation. "A handsome man always looks better for a picturesque costume, and our uniform is rather becoming, you know. Even a plain fellow looks well in it. Then women love strength and bravery, and soldiers are supposed to be both brave and strong, even if they are not. A woman likes a man who she thinks can protect her, and one of our men helmeted and panoplied, looks able to care for any bit of feminine fragility, does he not?" "But your military men are such wretched flirts." "Pardon me," he said with gentle depre cation, "you are mistaken. We can always meet a flirt half way on her own ground. It is one of two fates to conquer or be con quered." "Then having conquered, you go away and lorset?" "Not always. The soldier has nothing dearer than the picture of his sweetheart who began a campaign with malice prepense perhaps, and ended by yielding to the sweet captivity of love." "What are the souvenirs most sought by your lady admirers?" "Buttons alwavs, though I have known fringe from epaulettes and gloves to have gone as trophies ota ball or a parade. I know one little Washington coquette who festooned the walls of her room with strings of them. Each button meant a shattered military heart." "Why is it that the girls love the military so?" I asked a brilliant woman, a thorough paced coquette, a belle, a dashing, stunning brunette. "Why! What a question," she responded. "Why because O, pshaw! If you had ever strolled out on a moonlit balcony with a handsome young guardsman and he had stood so close to you that your cheek almost grazed "bis epaulette, you wouldn't ask such a foolish question. The sisht of brass but tons is as exhilarating as champaene. The men in civilian dress look all alike a dreadful sameness. But the uniform sets off a man's beauty if he have any, and traas forms an ugly chap into a possible hero. A well-bred military man has an indefinable charm. He is at once tender and command ing. By his air he tells you that he can protect yon, and yon mnst respect him. He is not merely a dancing young man to dawdle about and hunt your fan. He is willing and ready to do you any service, however slight; but you cannot order him about as you would a lackey, or the average society youth." "W"hat do women do with their military souvenirs?" "I will show you what one woman does," she said, as she showed suspended from her neck by a ribbon, a tarnished brass button. "It has lain on my heart for many a day," she whispered, "and it will lie there in my grave." On the principle that imitation is the sincerest flattery, the women copy the mili tary fashions in" dress as far as possible. It may yet be the correct thing for women to give the military salute to acquaintances, and I am positive it will always be fashion able for them to "present arms" to those they love. Nell Nelson. CRITICISM AND RIDICULE. A Proposal to Substitute Something; Else for Citizen Soldiery. The disbandment of the National Guard is demanding by several dictates of reason. In writing that for publication I believe that I express the real sentiment of a ma jority of the officers of the regular army. Nor is this an outbreak of jealousy. How could there be any? The professional man is seldom or never jealous ot his amateur rival. But tbe physician and the lawyer are protected by law against quacks, while the diploma-bearing military officer has no such sanctioned safeguard against the pre tender in his calling. The only tolerated military officer should be a graduate of West Point, and there should be no other entrance to military rank than through the Government's own academy. Would I deprive the country of a body of men to act as protectors or aggressors in cases ot necessity? No, no. I would create a system which could not fail to prove as val uable and successful as it would be unique. The police force in every city, and a sheriffs posse in every county containing no police organization, would consist of enlisted sol diers, commanded by professional officers. Every police superintendent and captain, every sheriff, would be a graduate of West Point. The men under him would be drilled in military evolutions, taught how to use firearms, and, more important than all else, would be kept automatic by means of regu lar army discipline. As it is, in the larger cities, the policemen are under fair control, and one of them is worth a dozen militiamen in a case of riotous uprising. How much bet ter it would be if West Pointers were put in command of these minions of the law, to convert them into veritable soldiers, to lead them in all warfare, small or great, and to ntterly abolish the moblike National Guard. The mimic soldiers are apt to be sociable good fellows, they are abundant in intelli gence and good intentions, they make hand some pageantry on Fourth of July and Dec oration Day; but for actual value in any emergency they are bound to be a failure, because their training is desultory and in complete, and they are, in fact, soldiers for amusement and not for business. Let us do away with them, and substitute in their place such an organization as I have briefly indicated. Even in the event of a great war, this army could be so commingled with raw re cruits as to very speedily produce a far pore efficient multiplied army than the National Guard of amateurs could yield. Ahl civilian soldier, you are pretty to look at, but you are not cf much UBe. William Kiewan Noeceoss. THE BOYS IN BLUE. These recruits Joined the Washington In fantry last week.

Formerly large detachments of both the Fourteenth and Eighteenth Regiments might be seen on the streets in honor ot the "i amer of the Country," but of late years a feeling of ennui has crept into the Guard in this vicinity, the tendency of which seems a stoppage of all local displays. An election for Captain and Second Lieu tenant will be held in Company S, Eighteenth Regiment, Tuesday evening, February 23, by Major J. C. Kay. W. H.

NTIL, Lent puts a stop to fashionable gaiety in New York, which it will a lew days hence, the pur. suit of pleasure will ' be a mad one in Fifth 2 avenue. Everv wo- s2iftwt Ss3oSrkman in swelldom is counting the hours and trying to crowd into them the greatest possible amount of social activity. When I saw a girl friend imbib ing a milk punch through a straw in that one particular restaurant where usage seems to permit of mild feminine alcoholism, I re minded ber that I had seen her making the same indulgence only the previous day. ' 'Oh, I'm taking one everyday now," she replied, "because I never drink them during Lent" Thus you see that religion tempers, if it does not control, the customs of our modish people. The Aston and the "Vanderbilts, or at least the more socially consequential ones among them, will sail away for Europe next week; but, in the meantime, they are giving dinners, receptions and balls at a furious rate. Chauncey M. Depew, you know, is not only a business associate of the Vanderbilts in railroading, but he mixes familiarly with them in society. At the opera the other night I heard Mrs. William Astor remark: "I do believe, Mr. Depew, that you have been helping Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt to make out a time table. Surely, she crowds in more enter tainments without collision than I can suc ceed in doing." DEPEW MADE HER TIME-TABLE. "Did you ever see a man making a rail way time table?" Mr. Depew jocosely re sponded. '"Well, this is the way he does it. A thread of a certain color represents every train that is run over the line close to oth ers. With two or three of these different col ored threads stretched along the route, and by means of markings of their running time he lays out the new schedule. Wherever the threads have to cross, owing to the compara tive slowness or swiftness of the trains and their relative times of interfering with each other, the lay out of threadVenables him to fix the figures exactly and successfully. Now, this is a secret," and he glanced with twinkling eyes at the group of a dozen hear ers. "I spent two days laying out a time table in that manner tor Mrs. Vanderbilt, and if any of her entertainments should come into collision she wonld hold me re sponsible." There are two tiers of boxes in the Metro politan Opera House in which the ladies wear full dress. The lower tier projects fur ther into the body of the house than the up per, so that any object falling from the latter might readily strike a person sitting in the former. While Ferotti, the tenor, was revel ing in his piercing high notes the other night, a much bejeweled woman in one of the boxes of the second tier chanced to lean over the rail to gaze at the orchestra stalls. The movement shook'a PIECE OP DIAMOND JEWELRT from her hair, and it fell swiftly down into the box beneath. Under some circumstances the ornament would have been lost, but it so happened that it found a sweet and safe rest ing place. A fresh, big-eyed beauty in tbe lower box suddenly startled her friends by clutching her pretty neck and exclaiming: "Ohllthinkl'mstabbedl" Everybody bent solicitously toward her demanding what was the matter. She tapped her chest and gasped: "I felt a sharp weapon strike me here." Her mother looked keenly at the girl's throat, bnt there was no sign of a wound. Of this she strove to assure her child. "It is lowfer down," whispered the young woman. At that moment a gentleman entered by the door at the back of the box. "Pardon mfy intrusion," he said, "but my wife in the bbx above dropped a jewel from her hair a moment ago, and she saw that it fell in here,' Have yon seen anything of it?" The lovely girl who thought herself stabbed sat' upright in ber chair and looked a trifle frightened. Then she dashed into the back room, from which she presently re turned, her face wreathed in timid smiles. "Here is the jewel," she said, holding forth a handsome diamond dagger. "TOTING MEN IN CLOVER. Among the products of modern society there is none more remarkable than the juv enile attendant-cavalier. A dozen rich and highly; respectable New York matrons now provide themselves each with what she is gleafted to call "a useful boy," and, to do er .Mist ice, it mnst be acknowledged that she Compels the young man to earn his qual ifications.

It being part of his duties, too, to attend to fans, bouquets, opera glasses, programmes, dogs, and altauch im pediments, it is necessary that he shonld not indulge in the old-fashioned occupation of; wool gathering, while on no account must hi permit himself to cherish the usual mas culine aversion to "shopping;" for when he isjnot dispatched alone to execute my lady's onders, which may range Irom a box at the opera to a box of pearl powder, he is re cuired to be in attendance when she makes tbe rounds of drygoods emporiums.

They live on the metaphorical milk and honey of the land, they bask in luxury and revel in all the best entertainments, pick up "good tips" and eventually, if they are smart, secure a rich bride. NOT nTHEBITED BEAUTY. "That is the most beautiful woman I nave ever looked upon." It was at a theater the other night that I heard these words. The actress who had called out the remark from the young lady who sat near to me was undoubtedly a creature of marvelous physical splendor, Tjrobablv as well modeled and tinted as anv woman in New Tort:. Between the acts the young lady who had been dazzled by the beauty rapturized about her to her escort, md among otner questions sne asKea was. his: ''How was she evermadeso thoronehlv "Well." replied the gentleman at her tide, "I have no doubt that her parents we e loosune people."

They were the most ordinary looking lot in the" theater, an old man who could never have been of prepossessing appearance in his best days of youth,. a raw-boned, large featured woman, with hard month and ugly ringletted hair, and two girls of 25 or mpre without a grain of beauty to serve for both of them. This discouraging assortment were obviously closely related to one another, for a general plan o'f ugliness overspread them all. The old parties were the parents of the unlovely girls. A UABBIAQE TO BE BEGBETTED. It seemed unfortunate thatchildren shonld be compelled to inherita total lack of physi cal attraction, and the artist, as well as tbe physiologist, would have regretted in look ing at them that a marriage which could perpetrate such a painful profusion ot home liness should have ever been consummated. But the interesting part of it all is that that old couple are the parents of the mag nificent actress as well as her excessively plain sisters' How very little of true character even the wisest of men can divine from the outward appearance of feminine beauty. The other day a minister of the gospel, who is noted for his profound moral convictions, and also for his attractive physical appearance, was walkine along the sunny side of Fifth ave nue when his eye caught sight of a charm ing young woman who tripped across the muddy pave. She seemed ot most evident excellence of mind as well as body, for on attention was not more pleased with the wholesome grace of ber handsome figure than with the thoughtful and refined ex pression of her pretty face. TAKEN BY HEB LOOKS. "Now, there is a lovely child." said (he minister to his friend. "What is there more encouraging and sweet to see than a pure minded and noble example of girlhood such as I make no doubt that one is? It is the fresh yoqng faces like hers that speak as plainly as flowers or stars of the worth and meaning of total cleannesss. There is noth ing coquettish in her." f As the minister was 'speaking, he, with his friend, drew nearer and nearer to the fair-faced danghter of a rich family, and it was noted that she had fixed her large, ex pressive eyes upon the fine countenance of the divine, as though she felt an interest in him. Presently she was within a few paces of him, and at thai instant a pronounced flash of eloquence followed by an ingenious softening oi the eyes almost made the minis ter's heart stand still. As he stopped in amazement, and turned to look at tbe bold beauty, the encouraging smile that met' his gaze drew a deep sigh of despair frorn his breast. As he walked sadly away he mut tered: "I thought she wasn't a flirt. Am I, then, such a fool?" Claba Belle. Copyright, 1890. WEEKLY ART REVIEW. Mr. M. Bleikan, who has the fine collection of paintings in the Gillespie gallery, has been called away from tbe city snddenly on account of the serious illness of his father, 'but will re turn, if possible, on Monday. In any event, tbe pictures will remain on exhibition for about a week longer. One of Mr. E. A Poole's pleasant sunny landscapes is shown this weelc at Boyd's. The title of the picture, "An Autumn Forenoon," very clearly indicates its character. As Is usual. In Mr. Poole's work, the keynote of the picture is its effect of brilliant light that floods the scene, with tbe exception of tbe fore ground, which reposes in tbe shade of some stately trees. In the drawing of these trees maybe noted the most serious fault in the artist's method of handling, and that is tbe lack of flexibility in tbe twigs and smaller branches, which also aids in destroying the ap pearance of softness and looseness in the foliage. A small but excellent collection of paint ings, the property of J. D. Waring, of New York, is now on exhibition at the Anderson Hotel, this city. Among tbe number was noted a Paul Selgnac called "Picking tbe Cherries," a pleasing arrangement of figures In the artist's usual and clever style: a charm ing bit of color by Miralles called "At Nice;" a Louis de Scbreyrer representing a Paris street; an Antonio Gisbert, a splendid piece of work by a comparatively unknown artist to Pitts burg, and others of equal excellence by paint ers of reputation. A number of others, among them examples by Eenner and Schreyer, will be added to the collection during the coming week. i Tbe display of paintings at the Carnegie Library in Allegheny is almost a revelation even to those who were best able to judge as to what could be accomplished in the matter of collecting fine art works for a loan exhibition. It is a notable fact, too, as indicating the rapid growth of appreciation of the fine arts by the people of the two cities that tbe major portion of the finest pictures have been acquired dur ing the last few years, many of them, indeed, baring been purchased during the year jnst closed. Through the courtesy of tbe many gentlemen who have so kindly lent their art treasures for tbe entertainment of tbe public, the managers have been able to extend the time aurine 'which the exhibition will remain open until Thursday next A labqe and somewhat roughly, bnt at the same time vigorously and cleverly handled, study of lilacs, the work of Q. Zeaming; Is noted at Gillespie's. The picture is rather striking In character, showing a cluster of leaves and blossoms of the lilac thrust in an ap parently careless manner into a large flower bowl. Altboush but a very simple study as re gards both form and color. It is, nevertheless, an extremely pleasing picture, and is possessed of many excellent features, even If judged solely from a technical standpoint. It presents quite a rich effect of color, and this is dne In a creat measure to the judicious choice of a background, which serves to bring the flowers into bold relief. Tbe style of handling is such that, when viewed closely, the work appears rough, and its painted character is apparent, but when seen at a distance of five or six feet, the effect is as natural as could be desired. A labqe painting by Artzberger, the well known Allegheny artist, has attracted con siderable attention to the window of Boyd's art store, where it has been exhibited for the past few days. The work f3 a copy of Hoffmann's famous picture, "Christ Disputing with the Doctors In the Temple." This subject has been treated in various ways by different artists, but the painting which Mr. Artzberger bas reproduced is one of the most famous among a number of justly celebrated works on account of tbe fine expression on the face of tbe young Christ, and tbe strong individuality of the surrounding figures. Mr. Artzberger has succeeded remarkably well in rendering tbe spirit of tbe original work, but, since he studied tbe picture from photographs, the col oring is not just the same, and whatever merit In this particular is possessed by the copy is entirely due to the artist who executed it, while the drawing, expression and chiaroscuro are as nearly as may be the same as in the original painting. Work of this character serves a good purpose provided it is carefully and conscientiously executed, and Sir. Artz berger deserves credit for having taken a step in tbe right direction.

LAW FOR RAILROADS. The Becent Criticism of the Pennsyl vania Supreme Court INCONSISTENCIES OP DECISIONS. Cases Bearing on the Besponsibility for Injury of Employes. PURCHASE OP TICKETS AT STATIONS iwarrrxa von the disfatcit.1 The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania is supposed to be the fountain of legal wis dom, and the barrier between the people and the State Constitution and laws on one side, and tbe misguided, the, offender, the op pressor, the schemer, the monopolist et id omne genui ontheother. The court haslately been very much criticised for some ot its decisions and, in recent years,' especially, lor its railroad decisions, which are claimed by lawyers to be strangely at variance with decisions of other courts in other States, and with the decisions of some of the most eminent Justices of the United States Su preme Bench. Knowledge of the peculiarities of its railroad decisions has reached beyond Penn sylvania? From St. Louis comes a legal text book published by John D. Lawson, en titled "Leading Cases Simplified," on page 236 of which the following severe language regarding our highest tribunal is used: "Here is perhaps the place to warn the stu dent, so far as the law of carriers is con cerned, not to pay much heed to the deci sions of the Supreme Court of Pennsyl vania, at least during tbe past 10 or IS years. The Pennsylvania Bailroad appears to run that tribunal with the same success that it does its own trains." To give color to this assumption is the fact that the railroad companies of the State have arisen without law from the chartered position of public highways, to whom the Legislature loaned for a period of years the operation'of the State's exclusive right of eminent domain, to be, not lessees or pos sessors of easements through the State, bnt absolute masters of everything in their line or interest, through the action or passive acquiescence of our high authorities. Judge Black, who was considered one of the best constitutional lawyers in tbe State, decided in the case oi the .Erie and North east Bailroad versus Casey (2 Casey 287), that lands for tbe railroad "were taken for public use, otherwise they could not have been taken at all." Bedfield on Bailways, page 229, says: "A public highway is not private property, any more than a public office," and that "if by any reason a railroad neglects its public duties or abuses its cor porate privileges it forfeits its charter; and its franchises and rights are extinguished and revert to the Stale." Justice Grier, in an important case, said: "The grant ot a franchise is of no higher order and confers no more sacred title than a grant of land to an individual." AX APPABENT INCONSISTENCY. But the Supreme Court seems to think the railroads of this State are under its fostering care and need tender nursing, and appa rently forget that they are mere public high ways and are only entitled to fair dealing. It has been decided many times by national and State Supreme Courts that no Legisla ture can part with wholly to any corporate or private body the right of eminent domain. The Supreme Court of this State has said that charters can be forfeited by misuse or breach of privileges, in which case the fran chises return to the State, "and the highway remains as it always was, public property. Corporations must furnish a true highway in fact as well as in name. Justice Baldwin, in the Camden and Aniboy case, said that "the declaration in the charter that it (the railway) is for publio use does not make it so if the effect of the charter is to give the exclusive use to the corporation." Bailroad charters were originally given to corporations and assistance lent them through tbe State's exclusive right oi emi nent domain, so that the State's highways might be improved. The case of Beese versus the Pennsylva nia Bailroad Company, decided January 6, 1890, by Justice Mitchell, ia widely com mented on as peculiar. Beese having no time to buy a ticket at the East Liberty sta tion, got on a passenger train at that station at 11:14 P. M. to go to Pittsburg. Begular fare for that trip was 11 cents. Beese offered this to the condnctor. It was refused, unless he would pay an additional 10 cents, which was a demand for more than 3)4 cents per mile, allowed in the railroad company's charter. It does not appear from the evi dence that plaintiff knew of the duplex ticket arrangement. As a matter of fact he did not know anything about it, nor was he told anything about it by the conductor. Mr. Beese refused to pay more than the customary 14 cents. His money was refused and he was ejected from the train toward midnight, thereby sustaining an assault for which he lower court allowed him damages of $250. The railroad appealed the case. Judge Effing was reversed. This case is now exciting probably more attention than any other, as it is fresh from the august quill. MAT TOBCE TICKET PCECHASINO, The decision starts out with the assertion that a railroad may refuse a passenger alto gether unless he purchases a ticket. Yet the laws governing common carriers don't say so. No person may be refused unless for contagious diseases, or being disorderly or dangerous; and carriers are bound to carry for the whole route for which they stipulate according to their pnblic notices. There is nothing in the railroad charter which gives the right to require a ticket before taking a seat in the car, but common usage has fos tered the system. The Court decides the extra charge of 10 cents is not unreasonable; that it is not a charge for transportation; simply a loan (it don't say forced). Would a bankrupt road be allowed to collect this extra 10 cents, or is this a wink of the judicial eye toward a friendly power? What right has any high way to collect a forced loan of 10 cents? And what right has any highway to put off ignominiously at any station day or night a passenger who has offered the usual fare to his destination? The Court says that, authorities are uni form in the opinion that companies may charge an additional sum or higher rate to those who do not purchase tickets, and says that the reasons mostly given point to 'the furthering "of the honest, orderly and con venient conduct by the railroad company of its own business." And so the Conrt, through this decision, assists the railroad in keeping its conductors honest at the expense of tbe public, by compelling travelers to buy tickets, or pay 10 cents extra, or get off of the train, simply that one conductor may handle the train and thereby save the hiring of more conductors. Says the Court: "It is scarcely jnst ground of complaint that he (the passenger) has to present his refunding ticket at the end of his journey instead ot getting an ordinary ticket at the start" NOT ALL ABE TICKET STATIONS. Suppose a woman gets on a train where no tickets are sold, and gets off at a similar station? She gets a check or slip calling for 10 cents, which she has to carry until she, at some distant time, reaches a ticket station, or else throws it away, as many do, thinking it some system of red tape, which it is. The Court says that the rule would be unreasonable unless the passenger were furnished a place to buy his ticket. Does not the Court know that not every station is a ticket station? If every station were a ticket station, it would not be such an aggravating, imposition, for the duplex could be redeemed wherever the passenger landed. Only 5 out of 11 stations in the city limits on the Penn sylvania Bailroad are ticket stations. Space will not permit a review of the whole decision which Judge Sterrett refused to concur in. The decision is labored throughout, but it it clear enough to de prive Mr. Beeie of the nsall damages he was awarded in the lower court. The mat ter is now decided that a man must buy a ticket or lend the railroad 10 cents, or else the train is stopped and the train gang makes an assanlt on the passenger .who of fers what the company charges in money for his fare according to the railroad company's charter, and he is ruthlessly pushed off the train in the day or night The case of Bell versus the New York, Lake Erie and Western Bailroad Company (112 Pennsylvania Eeports, page 400). is much commented on by lawyers. At Sus quehanna, a junction of two branches of the road, the.foreman of the turning department of the .foundry, having charge also of gas and steam fitting, ordered a gas pipe laid under tbe tracks to the foundry. Instead of laying it through the frozen ground the workmen placed it overhead. Bell was knocked off the top of a car by it He made complaint to tbe foreman; bnt it was not taken down accord ing to promise. Bell was knocked off again the next morning and severely hurt Suit was brought, and a verdict secured for $7,000 damages. The railroad company took the case to the Supreme Court Its unanimous decision was : MEN IN COMMON EMPLOYMENT. It is too plain for argument that the men en gaged at work in these different shops, includ ing the different foremen and gang bosses, were in tbe same common employment It is also equally clear that tbe plaintiff and tbe rest of the gang, who with him were running cars in and out of tbe shop to take in supplies and to take out finished work, were in the same com mon employment The difference in rank or position makes no difference as has been re peatedly held. The gang laborer and the gang boss or foreman occupy precisely tbe same posi tion. It is only where the master or superior places the entire charge of his business or a distinct branch of it in the bands of an agent or subordinate, exercising no discretion or over sight of bis own that the master is held lianle for the negligence of such agent or subordinate. The latter most have a general power and con trol over the business; not a mere authority to superintend a certain classof work era cartain gang of men in order to make the master liable. There was nothing of the kind here. The ac cident was caused by tbe negligence of the workmen who put up the gas pipe. If they bad been ordered by the master mechanic to place tbe pipe where and as It was placed, the negligence, if any. would have been the negli gence of the master, for which tho defendants would have been responsible. Such was not the case. Tbe most that can be urged was that the master directed that a gas pipe should be carried from tbe paint shop to the foundry. If In doing so the men employed In putting it updid so negligently and a fellow workman was injured thereby, it was tbe negli genco of men engaged in tbe same common employment Hence it was not the negligence of tbe master, and consequently not that of the company. Judgment reversed. A Pittsburg lawyer in extensive practice and high standing calls attention to the fact that this decision is contrary to the rulings in other States as well as the United States Supreme Court, and to the heretofore commonly accepted law that a corporation is liable for the actions of its agents. A negligent workman, to sate himself the trouble of putting a gas pipe through the frozen ground, put it overhead. An equally negligent foreman failed to notice it, but when Bell was knocked off the car by it and complained to the foreman he promised to fix it, but did not, and Bell was knocked off again next morning, and got from the lower court a verdict of 57,000 for his injuries. The Court acknowledges that the lault was with the negligent work men, but says nothing abont the negligence of tbe foreman. If the work had been or dered by tbe master mechanic to be put up, when and where it was put up, the company would have been liable. Bnt as the master mechanic did not order it pnt up in that place at that time, the accident was attrib utable to the negligence of the men engaged in a common employment, and the railway was not in any way responsible for the negli gence of their agents. The gang boss or foreman and the gang laborer are made to occupy the same position, and can kill each other by negligence, or otherwise as much as they please without damage to the com pany. Is the logical and legal inference to be that all that a railroad company will have to do in the fnture is to have no orders is sued from anybody above a foreman o f a shop, and then the company is not liable for dam ages if bones are broken or life destroyed through negligence of servants? JUSTICE tield's views. In opposition to this,bear Justice Field in Boss versus the Chicago, Milwaukee and St Paul Bailroad Company. A conductor had orders to stop but he misconstrued tbem and went ahead, causing, a collision, where in Boss was injured. The case got before the United States Snpreme Court on the company's claim that the conductor and brakemen were co-employes and consequent ly the company could not be held for dam ages. That illustrious tribunal decided: A conductor, having the entire control and management of a train, occupies a very differ, ent position from the brakemen, the porters and other subordinate employes. He is in fact and shonld be treated as tbe personal repre sentative ot tbe corporation, for whose negli gence it is responsible to subordinate servants. This view of his relation to the corporation seems to ns reasonable and just and it will in sure more care in tbe selection of such agent?, and tbns give greatersecunty to tbe servants engaged nnder blm in an employment requir ing tbe ntmost vigilance on their part and Sromptand unhesitating obedience to his or ers. The rule which applies to such agents of one railway corporation mnst apply to all, and many corporations operate every day several trains over hundreds of miles at great distances apart, each being under thn control and direction of a conductor specially appointed for its management. We know from the manner in which railroads are operated that subject to the general rnles and orders of tne director oi tne company, tne conductor nas entire control and management of the train to which he is assigned and all persons emnlovedonit aresubiect to his orders. In .no proper sense of tbe term is he a fellow serv ant wun tne nreroan, tne oraKemen, tne por ters and the engineer. As tothem and tbe train, he stands in the place of and rep resents the corporation. Tbe United States Supreme Court evi dently does not think it necessary for the superintendent or manager of a railroad to order a train to start before the company would become liable fordamagesfor injuries arising" from the negligence of some of its employes. It very clearly decides that a railroad company is responsible for the ac tions of its agents in tbe line of their duty. The language of Justice Fields seems to commend itself to the intelligence of the or dinary reader. A DIFFEBENCE OP OPINION. In Fisher versus the Monongahela Con necting Eailway Company, Judge Sterrett shows a remarkable difference of opinion to the decision in Bell versus New York, Lake Brie and Western Bailroad Company. Fisher was badly injured before daylight by a train carrying no lights, running back ward, through stacks of pig iron. The plaintiff was nonsuited by the lower court, but the Supreme Conrt differs with it and says: "The evidence tending to prove that the injury complained of was caused by de fendant's (railroad's) negligence, was clearly sufficient to not only carry the case to the jury on that question, bnt also to war rant them in finding in favor of the plain tiff." There is nothing in that decision about the company not being liable, but "on the contrary quite the reverse." If the princi ples of the Bell case were applied- to this case the order of the superintendent to take that train out backward without a lookout or even lantern on the end car, wonld have been necessary before the company could be made liable for damages, and yet the man who failed to place a lantern on the foremost car, orjing the bell or blow the whistle while going over a dangerous crossing was no more negligent than the foreman at Sus quehanna wno neglected to take down the gas pipe which hurt Bell, and that, too, after he had been warned about it A rail road should be just as responsible for the broken bones or the life of one man as an other, whether he is an employe or not for his life is just as valuable and sacred to him, to his family, to his country, whether he works for a railroad or not OTHEB INTEEESTtNO QUESTIONS. Space will not permit us in this review of some recent railroad decisions to go into .the broader, question as to the reserved rights of the State in the railroads. It is perfectly well known that the charters by which railroad companies, have been created which contemplated, originally at least, a pnblio .use of the roads, are, like others,, forfeitable for non-use or mis-uses.
