The Thivagy Tiibune, Tuesday Morning, August 26, 1873, Tho * Eurcka® Court-Houso plan, designed by Mr. Tilloy, was adoptod last night by the County Commissionors ng the plan by which to build the City Hall. The Common Conuncil must concur to mako tho action conclusivo. The Commissionors resorved the right to make such altorations ns thoy and tho Council may detor- ‘minc upon, and to have Mr. Tilloy's estimato of the coat of his structuro verifled. Tho County Commissionora very prudently and promptly reconsidered, last cvoning, their oxtraordinary action of n wook ngo, in ordering the purchasing of tho Ashland avenuo lot for tho sito of tho County Hospital. They wore -informod by the County-Attorney that the lob thoy hind bought was cut up by soveral strocts and alleys, the titlo to which wag In tho ecity, Tho Modical Board, who had ot tho flrst rocommonded the purchase of tho Ashland avonus lot, reported that thoy had since learned how it was disscoted by theso thoroughfarcs. In thelr opinion it was unfit for hospital purposecs. The roconsiders~ tion was carniod by a voto of 8 to 7. Thoso who votad against reconsidoration, and therefora in favor of parchasing tho gridiron sito, woro Commissioners Ashton, Crawford, Harris, Hort- ing, Lonergan, Rocllo, and Russell. Stump-orstors aro naturally prone to dosl in round numbers. ‘Thus r. alorton tolls us that Presidont Grant's Administration has paia off £860,000,000 of tho public dobt, aud reduced tax- " ntion$180,000. Accepting theso round numbors, wo have boon undor the improssion that it was tho people, by means of taxation, aud not Gslg. Grant's Administration, that had mado so large o hole in the public dobt within the past fivo yowrs, Wlat Mr. Morton ought to havo figured out wag, how much more of tho publie dobt the people would havo paid off in tho samo time, if the Ropublican party had not di- vorted a largo portion of tho actusl toxation to tho enrichmont of speclal interosts, If all tho monoy which tho peoplo bave paid out in taxes gnd duties had boon added to the rovonue, and all the roduction which has been mado lind been taken from the specinl intorosts now under pro- tection, Mr. Morton could have mnde n still bot~ tor showing for Gen, Grant's Administration in this particular, though it ia & matter with which Gon. Grant and his pereonal Administration have very little to do, Dr. G. P. Judd, an American gentleman who has been in tho Sandwich Islands sinco 1828, dicd ot Honolulu in July last. Ilo was born at Paris, N. Y., and went to tho Tslands s phy- sicinn to tho Americun Misslon. In 1842, ho xe- signod his connection with tho Mission, and, at the invitation of Kamehameha, ho accepted the position of Recordor and Interprotor to the Government. In 1843, ho was Invited by tho King to organizo a Ministry, which he did, In this Cabinet, which was tho first Iawaii over had, he recoived the position of Minlater of tho Intorior,—all his sssociates boing Americans also. In the following year the Cabinot was incroasod and ho took tho port- folio of tho Finance Dopariment, which ho held until 1859. In 1849, ho wont to Europe and mado troatios with foreign powers. When ho went into the sorvico of the King and organized his Governmont he found it encumbored with o heavy debt. This debt he paid off, and has kopt the Kingdom out of debt ever sinco. On the day of his funoral thoro was gonoral mourning, enpocinlly among tho older npatives, who had lesrned to look upon him s father.’ The Chicago produce markets woro nctive you- tordsy, and most of the londing ones wers stronger. Mess pork was in fair domand, and 1956@20c higher, closing at $10.25 cash, and $16.10@186.12)4 soller Boptomber.

Tho cattle markot was modorately active, with salos at 81.90@0.00. Bheep wore unchanged. Wo diroct attontion to a communication, vrinted olsowhero, from Mr. Edmund Jussou, deseribing the liability of railroads for damages to person or property undor the Inws of the Gere man Empiro. Tho law makes the ralrond liable for sll demngos aceruing in cnso of donth or bodly Injury, *unloas it can show aflirmatively that the accidont happoned by the sct of God or through tho megligenco of tho killed or injured person,” Tho construction of the luw is rondored vory striot by tho oxplanatory preamble which sccompanies it. Even if tho seeidont Is oconsioned by the mot of God, the railroad is responsible M’ tho oxtont of having all tho necosary ndjunots to moaot tho catas- tropho. Qontrary to the custom of this coun- try, thoro f8 no limit to tho damages which may bo rocaverod olthior for death or Injury. Tho ox- collout plan of & lifo-ponsion provails, which fn fixod by tho courts according to tho oxtont of injury and the ciroumstancos of tho party in- Jured, and which may be chianged Ly the court with any matorial change in tho eircumstancos af- focting tho caso, Mr, Jusson Leatiflos that, na o direct rosult of this law, thero is nol n rallroad in tho Bmnpiro without & doublo track, gaten are found at overy crossing with an attendant ofii- ofal, tho wholo 1ino of the rond s constantly patrolled, and the arxival and departuro of ovory train tolographed from atation to station. Thoro 18 littlo wondor that wo have no railrond acol- denta reportod from Gormany. r—— BENATOR MORTON'S OHIO SPEECH, Thero wero indications during tho lagt session of Congress that €onntor Morton sorlously thought of employmng his ability rathor for tho good of 1us country than for tho bonefit of hin party. Tho natlonal olection was Just over ‘Tho euccess of tho party was woll assurod for gomo timo to come. No accaslon could bo more {favorablo for tho introduction of national ro- forms. Mr. Morton was disposed to tako s con- sorvative position on the Louisiana eleotion, and was espocinlly active in prosecuting Caldwell, ono of tho two corrupt Sonators from Kansas, Hia project of oloctoral reform was gonerally con- coded to havo been concoived in o spirit of patrl otism rathor than that of partisanship. Thore was quito a promiso on all sidos that tho sonior Bonator from Indinna intended to abandon hia position a8 & more partisan and strivo aftor that of a statosman. This promise has beon incon- tinotly upset by his Athons specoh. The old fover of politics came back as soon as ho mounted the stump; ho sounded the koy-noto for the usual campaign oratory; he deliberately sbandonod every conscientious desiro he may hovo had for the improvement of our politieal condition, and ho wont to work to domonstrate the toworing, overlasting virtue of the Ropublican party with tho oustomnry parti- #an contompt for facts and tho Intolligenco of tho poople. His relapse, procipitated by tho Obio campaign, 8 o completo that {t would honcoforth be mere folly to expoct from him anything more than a vigorous opposition to any roform that may not contributo to tho intorest of the Ropublican party, There wore juet two points that Senator Mor- ton strove forin tho Ohlo spcooh, to-wit: The oternal necoesity of the Ropublican party 88 & mosns of national ganlvation, and also tho otornal necessity of tho Dom- ocratio party to insure the oxistenco of tho Ropublican party. To a Repub- lican politician the ono Is just s nocossary as the othor, and it was this that -Mr. Morton sought to impress upon tho conduct of tho Ohio enmpaign. To this ond ho was caroful flrat to sot up tho Dowmocratla party, and then he proceodod to hammor awsy at it in the good old style. Wo havo no apology to mako for the old Domaaratic party. Wo havono bottor opinion of it than Senator Morton. We kuow, and ho Xnowa, howovor, that the Domocratic party is in no sense nn clemout of the csm- paign in Obio, or in ITowa, or in tho country 8t Jarge. DBut he alio knows that thero is no dauger to bs apprehendod from the Domocratio party. If he wero o statesman, or disposed to bo » statesman, ho would believo in a vigorons opposition as a heelthful corroctive of political abuscs. As & pariy-londor, ke pro- fora to austain tho bug-bear of Domocracy, and theroby sssuro tho easy suceess of tho'ruling party, withall the iniquity it is now carrying, and all tho dangers of pornicious examplo. ‘Thoe othor effort of Mr. Morton's spoech was o Justification of his party ob all hazards. He ox-~ cusod Crodit Mobilior by implication, tho salary- grab by courtesy, and tho Louisinna usurpation direetly. To bonsts of tho ' gelf-investigation™ of the Ropublican party, thongh he must roly on tho whitewnshing of Credit Mobilier Congrona- mon, tho failuro to imponeh Judges known to bo corrupt, the nntional indorsement of Ponnsyl- aulia eleclion fruuds, ote., otc. o makes tho statemont that tho Kellogg Government in Louisiana haa tho support and the sympathy of tho majority of the peoplo in that State, aod in- timatos that the CGovernment has been mnde lawful by tho decision of the United States Judgo and tho rocognition of tho Prosident. Mr. Dorton opposed both these positions in the Sonate, and, by his statomont of the case to tho Olio pooplo, showed his ontire willingness to misropresent whonovor party intorests scom to demand it. Ho spologizos for the salary-grabbers, though claim- ing for himself the crodit of having not recoived tho back-pay. Tho fact is that Senator Morton's Dack-pay still stands to hus order, and, if ha doos not intend to tako it, he noglects to put it bo- yond his rench. Whether ho loaves it whoro it is in ordor to avail himselt of it at somo futuro timo, or bocauso ho doos not dosiro to offend the party poliey a8 reprosented by Presidont Grant and tho salary-grabbing majority, it is not possible to yny. Ilis wonk effort to condomn it individually and to excuso it politically would indicato tho latter, Mr. Morton's rofereuce to the spirit of the Ro. publican party in rogard to Civil-Servico Ro- form was equally & misropresontation, though bold one with tho resignation of Mr. Curtis, the sppointment of Holdon, tho rotaining of Casey, and the Custom-Ilouso frauds in Now Yorl familiar to tho pegple, All that portion of Sou- ator Morton's gonoral justification which is not vulnorablo by reducing it to detail relatos to what the Ropublican party hag dono in tho past. ‘Thig {6 not tho quostion, It is what tho Ropub- lican party s doing and going to do, If wo may judge of this from Senator Morton's words, it proposes to justify Loulsiana usurpation, oxtonusto Credit-Mobilior . op- orations, indorso Fort Huelllug frands, stand by salary-grabs, sot np the Domocratio party as a searo-orow, keop the brothors-in-law in office, and dofond whatever tho majority of tho presont leadors of tho party sco fit to put upon tho poople. The prospect'is cortainly not vory encouraging for the roform within tho party, of which we hoard so much during the Presidential campaign, How long spooious gon- oralization liko that of Mr. Morton's speoch can Dpass for puro patriotism In the presonco of con- tradiotory fucts, It Is for tho poople to docide. Meanwhilono one knows bettor than Mr, Mor- ton that thoro is no dangor to bo apprehondod from tho Domocratio party, which I paiutod so Dblack ; and very littlo of tho eaviug clomont in tho prasont constitution and purposos of the Ropublican party, which is washed so white, Yot, tho vary contrury was tho burdon of Mr, Morton's spooch. —— Tt Las recontly beon nnuounoed‘tlmt Bogart, tho Brooklyn Paymastors clork, who was ine N - - airumontal {n tho Inntitution of tho inveatigation agninnt Secrotary Robeson, concorning tho Bocor clnims,is nt prosoutaubjected to Government por- socution on tint nccount. 1Io has beon long im- prisoned on board & vessol in San Franclsco Ilar~ bor,and,lthough the conrt-maxl il adjourncd two months ngo, the sonteneo hian ot yot beon pro- mulgatod. If tho nentenco had beon ono afixing a ponalty, It in not lkely that the Secretary of tho Navy would long dofor the promulgation of it ; which loads to tho inforence that the dotention ‘of Bogart Is shnply o polty persocution in the way of rovengo, DBo it as it may, this punish- mont is vory much in tho naturo of n gross nnd dospotio. outrage. If all tho instigators of oharges ngningt the lending: mombors of tho Administration were to be punished, who wonld Lo loft without penalty? Aud if Dogart is to bo punishod, why not punish all ? INSULTING THE SALARY-GRABBERS, If any porsons have supposod that thoro is no substanco in tho populnr denuncintion of the Balary-Grab.law, and of those mombors of Con- gress who havo rofused to roturn tho ill-gotten money to tho Tronsury, wo commond thom to tho Ropublican pross of Iows and Obio. Al- thongh in theso States tho opposition to tho Ro-~ publican Stato tickots Is trented as morely nomi- nel, tho party pross recognizos the oxistonco of o doop popular indignation growing out of tho Balary law. Bo overwholming is this indigna- tion that tho ordinary courtosios of personal lifo aro forgotten, and the Republican pross hiaston to bo foromost and loudest in denouncing by name distinguishod Republican statesmen booaudo of tholr nccoptanco of tho buok-pay. Thoro ara no two mon who would, under ordinary circum- f, stances, bo more acceptable as campalgn orators than Scnator Morton,’of Indians, and Bonntor Logan, of Lilinois. Souator Morton has not drawn the back-pay, butho has not returned it to tho Treasury, aud it romaing subjoct to his order. 1o was annonnced for a long sorios of speochos in Oliio, and dolivored tho firet on Saturday last. Tuo Olovelsnd Leader, fully couscious of tho publio fooling in Olio upon this subject, i oo~ awor to o taunt from the Plaindealer, exprosses itsoll thus: Wo will also atato for tho Plafndealer’s benofit that wo thiuk Sonator Morton makes a mistake in not cov~ cring tho mouoy back into the Treasury entirely bo- yond reach, We Liavo no oxeuse Lo offer for any back- oy grabler, bo ho Ropublican or Domocrat. We do not want such & man to show his brazon front on tho stump this full, as did Low Campbell at 5 Democratic ‘meeting u Hawitton tho other night, This was published on Friday, and on Baturdey night Sountor Morton cancoled his ongagomont to sposk at Cloveland. But whother thia dis- courtony to the Indiana Senator was intentional or not, thero can be no mistako a8 to the pur- poso of tho Burlington (Iowa) Lawkeye, the load- iug organ of tho Ropublican party in that State. Itenys: "Tho Republican platform of Tows declares that the «back-pay steal” wos “most flugrantly improper and infamous,” aud that “it should securo tho po- Utical Tondoumstion of all who werea party to it Aud yot our Kopublicun State Gentral Committe an- nounces John A, Logan ns ono of tho spoakers who s expocted to oulighten Towa volers in the coming cam-. puign, notwithstanding ho was ono of tho supporters of that “ infamoun * measuro, and has novor given auy signs of repentanco! Until ho purges himsolf from “tuls “infamy,” John A, Logan m a sposker for Ro- publicans Lad better be fuvited tostay on Lis own aldo uf tho viver. fu Towa wo aro likoly to hinsve enough of - {his sulary-grab businoaa without importing sny from Iliinols, Wo question whether such s paragraph as that wag over boforo published Ly any raspectablo paper, concorning any publio man, of any party, in any politienl campnign. Tho exigoncies of the Ropublican party in Towa must indeed bo great whon ils landing organ thus treats with norsonnl insult ono of the most distinguished Honntora of the United States, and ono cortainly as ominent in tho Republican party as any othor man in the country. Is thare to bo no respoect for straugors ontoring fowa ? Is thoro no chari- {3 to bo Ahown for a man who took tho back-pay, in tho Blate whore Ilarlan lives, aud whero the namo of Dounan has becowmo historienl ? Common courtesy, and that comity which has al- ways oxisted betwoon tho - States, should forbld any such Iunguago towards an Illinois Republics au, invited to give hisaid to roliove tho distress- ed partyin JTown. We suppose that if Senator Carpouter, or Seuator Howo, or Sonator Morton or Senator Ramasoy, or Senator Cameron, or Bonator Conlkling, should offer to speak for tho Republiear part§ in Town, ho would be treated with insult, and roquested to keop nway, bocauso o hind been declared guilty of o ateal **mont flagrantly improper and Infamous.” Does Ro- publican success in Town depend on refusing to lot tho leadivg Republican statesmen of tho country mnke spcochos in that Btato? THE CHINESE STRIKE, The rocont strike of the Chincso Crispins, in North Adaws, Mass., i8 ono of the moat amusing on record. colostinl ghoemskors wero contracted to the pro- prietor of the factory, Mr. Sampnon, by Charley Bin, for 8o much perannum, Charloy 8in scoms to hinvo been & nonr relative of that blend snd childlike heathen Chinco who played the momo- rable game of cuchro, and ho underatood his ¢famo. Horeceived a handsome compensation himeo!, aud ho paid his countrymon a mongre pittaxco. Ho purchased beef at 8 conts per pouad, ond ho charged thom 16 for it. Io boaght thom a poor quality of rice, and ho clicated thom on the freight from Troy, whore the rico was purchased. In addition, ho re- ceived handsome prosents and commissions from merchants for purchasing from them. Evory- thing, in faot, soorns to indicate that Oharloy Bin is vory sppropriutoly namod. Considoring tho brief space of timo ho hus beon in this country, lio s proved himeolf un apt scholar in learning its wuys aud mauners of acquiring monoy. A Credit Mobilier Congrossman, an Indian Agont, n ring speenlator, & grain- gombler, uud o pawubroker, rolled into one, could hardly surpnss him in sharpnoss, cun- ning, oud Inowledge of human nature, ‘Tho result of all this wag that Charloy Sin waa: rapldly gotting rich and his follow-shoomakors undoratand this conundrum, until it was solved for thom by sorac of the American rosidonts of' North Adnws, ‘who had takon o violont disiike to Cliarles 8in. Thoy osplained to them' that they woro not gotting sufliciont componsation for thoir labor, and that tho monoy which proporly bolonged to thom was going into Bin's capactous pockets. Iaving ‘got this idon firmly fixed in their hoads, thoy ab onco proceeded to express their dissatisfaction &n thoir own poculiar way. Inutoad of leaving in a body, holding moetings, passing regolutions, and loaflug about tha village, thoy assembled In tho factory and com- monced to shont. Thoy rusiied’ from room to room, shouting, and scroaming, and gostioulat- ing, waving thoir arms ubout their heads,.swear~ ing in tho oboicest Chinoso, and crouting such o hubbub that the whole v™ege speodlly gathered in thostre-t, Oliarloy ¥ Sed to pacily, thom, 3 A but thoy rushoed at him in ro violont a'mannor that ho soon bent a rotreat into tho stroot, Mr. Bampeon then tried to address thom, wherenpon thoy seronmed all the louder, Mr. Bampson then lost Lis patienco, and, as lis namesnko wonb into tho DIhilistines, ho wont into thoso heathion Ohineo and ojectod thom ono after the otlior down tho stalrs nnd into tho atreot. This coolod their ardor, and the noxt morning thoy cnmo round and hadntalk, Mr, Bampeon prom- isod to regulate Mr. Oharlea Bin and put tho ‘brakes on hig swindling proponuities, whoreupon the shoomakora oll went to work again witha- good.will, and thero has beou no trouble since. Tho drift of tho story shows that the Chinero aro quito hnman after all. Mr. Oharlos 8in haa probably boon reading the nowspapors and look- ing ot mon and thiige out of his almond oyos, Diacovoring tho fact thot Amoricnns sometimos swindlo on contracts, that contractors buy ohoap and eoll donr, that mon high in station carry ono hand bohind thom for presonts ond commissions, ond that thero is a continnal strifo among mon which sholl got ahiead by emart tricks and cunning dodgos ; he resolved " to do ns othors did, and took & hand in. o was making o nico thing of it, and might sobn have “rotired, hadnot onvions oyos beon watching him, and envious tongues created such o hubbub that .ho liad to let go, Itwas hard upon Charles Sin that, bocauso he was a Chinaman ho should not bo allowod to have and operato his little Crodit Mobilior. Shall thonative-born Christian alono have tho privilogo of swindling? Why this unjust dlscrimination against tho China~ -man ? BUICIDES BY KEROSENE. Ono of tho questions upon which thero isa ! wide differonco of opinion, is whothor overy per- -son committing euicide is not necossarily more | or less insano. It is possiblo thatsomo light may bo thrown upon this subject by tho great number of suicldes which are now committed in tho insano attompt to kindle fires in stoves and furnacos by pouring kerosene oil upon the lighted wood or conl. Within tho last thirty days ovor thirty doaths havo boon rocorded a3 having takon placo from thia caunse. In the light of long oxperience, and of common knowl- edge of the Inflammablo choracter of tho ofl, and tho cortain consequonces if b the firo communicato with tho contents of tho can, mon and women continue day after day ‘4o pour oil upon lightod fires, and are theroby +homsolves burned to death. If any person wero 1o undertake to Lasten the ignition of o firo by pouring ganpowder on it, ho could hardly bo called sano, and yet tho danger of an oxplosion and loss of lifo from tho use of korosono for tho samo purposo is hardly less than from tho uso of ‘powdor. Tho uso of koroseno by poraons in tho kitchon to basten tho combuation of fuel is moro general than is supposed. It is used in hundreds of housos without tho knowledge and sgninst “tho ordors of thio housokecper. In countless cages the fatal nccldont is tho firat knowledgo that tho head of tho family hns of the use of tho lzardous oil. 1t is said by thoss who habitusl- Iyusoit: ““Ihave used it for months, and nover 1had an acoidont ;” but tho accideht, nevertholess, comes, and tho viotiin dies in horriblo pain and suffering. That it may bo usod carofully with- +aut an explosion is posaible, but that tho caro- ful uso of it will soon fall into tho caroless uso, cendiog in tho litoral burning alivo of the unfor- tunato operator, is reduced to an oventual cor- tointy. Socortain is the ultimato fatclity from the ueo of keroaono to hnsten combustion of fuel in a stove that tho person who adopts it for that purpose, and is burnod to death, may b said to commit suicido, As woll exporiment with o londod royolver against the body, or with powdor pourod from s flask, or with nitro-glycer- ino, 08 to pour keroseno from o can upon n lighted firo rud not oxpeut fatal consequonces. With o full knowlodgo of all this, aud with a moral cortainty that death will follow, it is por- sistontly usod in thousands of houses ovory day. In this not socking doath deliboratoly, and with a knowledge of the moans employed ? Ia it not such o reckloss dieregard of probabilitios ag amounts oither to indilference 28 to the conse- quonces, or sn oxpectntion of o fatal rosult? It is difieult to suggest & remedy, or the monus of proventing such tragedios. Lvorybody -kuows tho davgerous character of kerasono when thus used, and it is no use- tolling such persons what thoy know already. But its use ‘mey bo abridged, and tho number of deaths ro- ducod, if hoads of familiea wonld not only pro- hibit tho uso of kerosono, but take effectunl means to provent it being used. It was rolated some time ago, that the hend of a family having somo elight causo to distrust thelong and solemn It nsppoars that tho korvicos of the ' wore rapidly getting poorer. hoy conld not | donials that kerosone was usod to hasten tho kitohen fire, tried the oxperiment of romoving tho keroseno at night and filling the can with wator.

The torm railronds includos strcot-railroads upon which tho cara aro propolled by horso- porwor. ‘The prosocution noed only prove tho accidont, and tho fact of tho injury or killing at tho timo or recelves bodily of tho nceident, and s not required to show duo earo on tho part of tho party injured or killed, nor nogligenco on tho part of the managomeut of tho railroad. ‘Thoro arc only two facts admissiblo in defonse on tho part of tho railroad, viz.: that tho acel- dont happened through vis major (act of God), or throngh tho nogligonco of tho pocson injured or Lilled. In all other casos, tho Company or managomont iy uncondi- tioually linble. 1If, for inutanco, in spito of tho watehfulnogn of tho railroad oficials, an ob- struction is maliciously placod upon the track, and an nceidont aud_injury to pawsongors take place, tho ruilrond isTiablo for dnmages; or if, through tho nogligenco of n drivor, » coach if drivon neross tho track, and tho passengorn of tho conch aro injured by & collision with a rail- road-train, tho railroad is also liable. In the flrst instanco, tho railvoad is held responsiblo bocauso tho managers should constantly in- spect tho wholo lino of the road and remove all obstructions ; and, in tho socond iustunce, tho railrond would bo mulct 1n damagos beeanso it is roquired by law to gunrd all cromsings with gatos, and tho whole lino of the rond with substantisl fences, * Evon if tho nceidont in originally cansed Ly tho act of God, the railroad muy still b linblo, for ita nogligenco 1y ho concurront with tho “vig major”; and tho burden of proof is upon thorailroad to show tho absouce of such nogh- gonco, und tho fact that not only tho accident, but also tho injury, was tho #nunedialo conse- quonco of tho not of God. Thus, for instancs, it o train #hould bo sot on fire by lightning, tho rail- rondis held linble for injuries caurod hy thin fivo, unloss it is shown that tho train was immediately stopped, end all hasto mado to unlock the pas- senger-cars, aud to faciliteto the vecapo of tho pagsongors, The non-observance of tho rules of the Rail- road Company cannot ba plended in dofeuso of an netion hrought by the party injured, unloss this nou-observance was tho dircct and immediato cnugo of tha injury, If o passonger should neg- Iact or rofuso to pay his fare, the railrond may, novortholess, bo lisblo for injurios recoivod by him during tho trip, The provisions of the Gorman Iaw, an sot forlh in tho othor nections of tho act cited, differ in so far from tho lnw of this Btato a8 no maximum of domagos it fixed. In all casos whoro tho partios litigant do not sgrec upon a cortaln nmount in full paymont of all damages claimod, tho Court dotermines tho smount of an anuualor monthly ponsion tobo paid by tho railroad to tho plaintiff ; ond, in addition to this, fixos the sum to bo paid for burinl oxponscs, modical troatmont, loss of wages during illnoss, oto., up to tho time of the trial. This pension may bo do- creased or incrogsed by the Court at any timo,” according to the circumstancos of ench partiou- Tar caso,—in o similar manner, I prosume, to that in which alimony in cases of divorce is con- trolfod and itsamount changod, as circumstancos roquiro, by tho courts of this country. It scews s it thoro was hardly 4 singlo pro- vision in this Gorman law which could not jusily be mnde applieable to tho railroads of this country. In Germsny, this law, aud similar en- aotmonts, which, in some parts of the Empiro, have beon in forco for many yoars, have oporated with miraculous efticiency to induce railrond- mauagers to oxorcise extromo and oxtraordinary cara for tho safoty of the travoling public. ‘Ihere iu not s rond to_bo found in tho wholo Lmpiro without o doublo track.

Tho ling of tho rond is constantly potrolled, and overy traiu iy tolographed from station to station. The consequonco is, that railroad-aceidonts are fow and far botwoon, and novar of tho torriblo and horriblo extont for which this ountry has become so dol)lorubly famous, Thore is not » ninglo safoguard of human lifo contalned in this Gorman Inw which could not proporly bo onncted by any State Logislaturo undor tho woll-recognized gonorul polico power whioh in vested in every Btate. * Under thiy owor oll railways may bo roquired #o to conduot [’humaalvou aa to other porsons, naturnl or cor~ porate, as not to injure them or tholr praporty; and, If thoir businoss is specially dangerous, thoy may be required to Lear the expuuse of Ofesting much sntognards aa will rondot It ordie narlily safo to othors.” Thio anagers of our Ilinols raflwaya should Do the lust mon to complain of this polico powor, Thoy have put lately rocognized it in a vory en hntio mautior.
