Campbell Judge. l''; c. The plaintiff purchased a ticket from the defendant from Winona to Grenada and in attempting get aboard tho night train was injured, by a fall. The plaintiff had never traveled on the cars, and in attempting to get into the cars she walked up tho Mcpson" one side of the car, and over the -platform and fell down the steps on the other side to the ground, breaking an arm by the fall. I ho train was not in motion.

1 his is brought to recover damages from the railroad. The plaintiiF claims that the platform of the car was not sufliciently lighted to enable her to see where she was going, and that neither the conductor nor any of tho employees were near when the accident occurred. 1 here is however a conflict of evidence, on these points. The Court, inter alia, gave the following instriictldns for the plaintiff: a. in the evidence ot proper skill and care of common carriers ot passengers, the law requires that they shall have their cars properly lighted and their platforms and entrances so protected itsainst danffer, that a person ot ordinary prudence would not he injured in getting on their cars, and if the jury believe from the the evidence that the plaintiff in attempting to get on defendants cars was injured, and they further believe that plaintill exercised ordinary prudence under thoacircunistances, then un less the lury believe by a preponderance of evidence that defendant was without fault in such injury, they will find for the plaintili.

10th. "If the jury bclievcfrom the evi dence, that plaintiiF purchased a ticket from defendants, for the purpose of taking passage on defendant's cars, fell and was injured, then it is prima fans evidence of tho want of reasonable skill on the part of said defendants, and un less the jury irom the evidence believe that defendtints have shown by the evidence that the injury wag not owing to any want of skill or care on their part, then tiiey will find for the plaintiff." The jury found for tho plaintiff and assessed damage at $2,409. W. P. J.

B. Harris for appellant. Mclnnis, Knox McLean contra. Cooper, Held 1. A common carrier of goods is an insurer, and proof of injury or loss entitles the shipper to a recovery not because, this is evidence of negligence, but because whether negligence or not, the carrier is responsible for their safety.

2. In an action by a passenger it is not sufficient to prove injury alone. Negligence must also be shown and the burden of proof ia upon the plaintiff. 3. Section 1059, Code 1880, is not ap plicable in cases of suits by persons standing in a relation of contract with carriers.

The words of the statute are appropriate only when considered as referring to suits by persons, neither shippers or passengers property or persons have been injured. Reversed and remanded. To be reported. Bishop Green's Spring Appointments. MWTt.

L. Plain Talk. The New York Globe, a colored man's organ edited by colored men, indulges in some plain talk about the relations of their race to the Republican party, and its treatment of them as mere matters of convenience. It says: The negroes of the.Nbrth have never entered into the calculations of the party.

Their allegiance has always been taken as a matter of course. But of late, elections showed, and future elections will further demonstrate, that the black vote of the North is no longer in Whether the Southern blacks will "realize that the party has cast them off, and whether the loaders of that section will-show manliness enough to resent the ingratitude, remain to be seen. We tell them that the Republican party ft no longer the "party of the people," we tell them that it is controlled by millionaires, grown rich by thievery, by favoring legislation in the interest of corporations and olies in which they had a direct interest.

During the long and wearisome sessions of the Senate since January 10, Mr. Beck has been by far the most industrious of the When the Tariff Bill was brought up, defended singularly enough by the framer of the war tariff, Mr. Bayard was absent, and Mr. Beck by common consent became the leader of the enemies of the bill. He works as he talks, without circumlocution.

He had come from the room of the Committee on Financo with a knowledge of every paragraph of it; and he at once declared it the most ingenious trap ever devised by man. He has never made a long speech about it he has wasted no time; he has not used rhetoric or any other weapons of delay; but he has pointed outline by line the occult ns well as the defiant injustice of every part of it, and ho has offered more amendments than all the other Senators. In his knowledge of the details of the bill he has an advantage over all his Democratic colleagues; but he has not allowed any clause which he did not understand to be passed over without explanation. Randall on Tariff Matters. We are glad that a recent debate in the House has caused Randall to explain his views about revenue and incidental protection.

As we understand his plan, it is substantially that which we have upon several occasions urged upon the attention of the country. Revenue is the first object sought for: Protec tion, in sufficient amount, will come as an incident of the revenue rate. A large and judiciously arranged free list, Randall thinks, ought to exist, and we agree to that, and take comfort in the reflection that by virtue of the free list we have so much free trade. There is no practical use in uttering abstract theories about total free trade. It can not come to pass with us, because of the demand tor a laree revenue, which can not be easily had in peaceable times without a considerable tanfl.
