The democracy is a great national par
ty." he added. land has a foothold over
the country that new party would not
have and by working jointly the repub-
1cans and democrats of the west would
have great chance of carrying the day
for their candidate. l believe in giving my
own political party the first opportunity
to keep us in the fold, but if it does not
come out in it's platform for free silver
plainly and Enthusiastically and with no loop
hole left TO crawl out of the position, then
I am going to leave the party and vote
for the candidate, no matter what his
politics may be, who will support and
carry out the free silver principles. For
these reasons 1 would have the delegates
to the national conventions definitely in
structed SO that should the national con-
ventions refuse to champion the cause OF
silver the delegations could leave the con-
vention honorably and afterward unite
upon their own candidate. Let the east
and the doubtful states construe 1t as a
threat If they choose, 1 believe they should
be made to understand our position at once
and in plain terms"

II do not see what the democrats can do
about the income tax law" said Mr.. Rich
ardson to a Star reporter. so far as I am
able to judge that matter will have to be
dropped, as the next House OF Representa-

the republicans.
Il unde-~tand that Mr.. Carlisle believes
that when the present tariff law gets into
operation :, will raise sufficient revenue
for the needs of the government. and even
If it should fail to do that l have no idea
there will ae any revision of the tariff. 1
uSderstonc that Mr.. Reed was in favor,

should run SHORT, I should think the def
cit might be made fI1p in that way.
"EverybodySis forrsilver down in Tennes-

SHORT oetART BASKETS.
They Are being largely Used for the
Sale of Straw rries.

They Are BEING largely Used for the
Sale of Strawberries.
Some time ago The Evening Star called
attention to the fact that there was a gen.
eral custom among hucksters who sell
stra ~vberriesl to dispose of them in what
arr popularity known as 'short-quart' bas-
ke' ! or boxes The Star published inter-
views with local dealers in such boxes in
which they stated that they sold thou
sand shorts" where they sold hundred
full-quart boxes, the former holding only a
pint and half. There seemed to be no
remedy for the evil other than a watchfui
care on the part of purchasers and a de-
mand on their part for a full quart of ber-
rieS when they paid for such guam tity.
Now that the berry season is reaching it's
height, and thousands of quarts of straw
berries are being sold in Washington every
day, the Market Dealers Cooperative AS
ISOLATION is making vigorous war against
the use of the short quarts.
1T Is but just that berry consumers
should be informed that they are being i'm
posed upon every day by peddlers of ber-
ries who use the short-quart boxes" said
Mr.. ]. X. Mangum, the president of the
association, to a Star reporter today. I'VE
are taking active measures against their
use, and we are determined never to let the
matter rest until we have driven this de-
testable understood measure from the Dis
trict. If the consumer will compare one of
these short quarts with a regular size
quart basket he will readily see that he has
been only receiving three-fourths of a
quart for his money. A committee from
our association has waited on the whole
sale dealers in berry baskets and requested
them not to purchase any more short
quarts We have condemned the practice
by resolution. and have appealed to the
District authorities to prevent the use of
these short-measure baskets or boxes, and
we hope berry consumers will refuse to buy
from street peddlers or dealers who use
them. In this way their use may be stop

DEFECTIVE BRAKE.


1t Caused n Serious Accident ON the
lexington Road.
An accident occurred on the track of the
lexington Soldiers Home R.R. at Brook
land station last evening, which might have
proved very serious. trailer had been
derailed at the end of the track and de-
tanned the cars coming to Brookland. Two
motor cars. each with trailer, were
strung along waiting, when car No. S, Of
which Charles Radey was motorman, came
down the steep incline. Radey tried to
put on the brake, but It would not work.
and although he reversed the motor the
Roadway gained was too great. and his car
crashed into the rear Of the trailer in
front The vestibule on car No. was
smashed. and Radey was pinned in the
wreck so that he could not move.
He was evidently stunned by the sh ock,
for 1t was some minutes before he uttered
word, and 1t was at first thought he was
killed. Quite crowd gathered, and a
couple of mounted policemen aided the
railway men from the other cars In ex-
Treating the motorman from his unpleas-
ant position. He was finally lifted out
and taken into a trailer, when 1t was as
certained that he had fortunately received
no injury except a cut back of the ear by
broken glass. The other men said that
they heard Radey tell the superintendent
that the brake on car No. 5 would not
work, and that he was afraid of 1t, but tn 1T
the superintendent while admitting that,
said that he guessed it would work until
O'Clock. The accident took place at $50.

TRAINS NEED NOT STOP
Judge Kimball 0verrules sa,ety Regula-
ton of the Commissioners
Right to Make b. and O. Engfneery
Stop Their Trains at H Street.
An Interesting Cnse.

Judge Kimball has rendered another de-
cision favorable to the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company. The decision annulf
one of the regulations of the District Com
missioners, which the people of Northeast
Washington believed gave them some pro-
lection from the railroad trains at the Del
aware avenue and H street grade crossings
The case was brought against Thomas Col
Inns. an engineer. for failure to stop his
train before crossing H street after COM
ing around the sharp curve. President
Tucker and William ]. Frizzell of the
Northeast Washington Citizens Associa-
ton were in court, but they were not sur
prised at the decision. Although this regl-
lation has been wiped or the statute books
they say they will keep watch over the
fast-running trains, and cause the arrest
of the engineers.
The facts in the case were virtually ad-
mitted. George E. Hamilton, counsel for
the company, argued that the Commission
ers had no authority to enact such a regu-
lation.
Mr.. Pugh. the prosecuting attorney, ar
eued the case for the District, but his ar
gument had not much weight, for Judge
himball had decided similar case several
weeks ago. and 1t required him no time to
reach a conclusion
Judge Kfmball's DecisiOn.
In disposing Of the case Judge Kimball
said he sympa thized very strongly with the
people of Northeast Washington in their
desire to be protected from the evils of the
surface railroad
But, he said. 1.-The Commissioners are
limited in their powers. They undoubtedly
nave power to limit the speed of trains and
TO compel the company to erect gates and
put watchmen at the crossings. The law
gives them the power to make reasonable
ana usual regulations, and the question is
whether this is a reasonable or usual regu-
laton. Is 1t usual to require trains to stop
at street crossings? 1 think not Under
state laws some Of the railroad companies
are required to stop their trains before
crossing other steam road tracks, but it is
certainly not usual to require the trains to
stop at street crossings.
II the Commissioners had power to COM
pei the trains to stop at H street they could
compel them to stop at other streets and
alleys, and could SO hamper the movement
of trains as to require half an hours time
to move through the city.
while l Sympathize with the citizens of
Northeast Washington and think the tracks
ought to be either overhead or underground,
| l think that Congress intended to give the
Commissioners no such power az they have

RESTORE THE OLD RATIO.
President Andrews on Relations {
Gold and Silver.

BOSTON, May pa largely attended
meeting of the Mystic Valley Club was held
last night at the Quincy House. President
z. B. Andrews of Brown University, Provi-
dence, and Mr.. Brooks Adams of Quincy,
spoke on Honest Money" President An
drews delivered the principal address. He
traced most of the difficulties of the last
twenty years to the great currency change
made in 1873. Through the rupture of the
ratio in the value of gold and silver it is
impossible to determine values. By the
diminution of the amount of the funda-
mental money, through cutting off silver. a
regime of falling prices was inaugurated.
What is to be the outcome of the present
condition of affairs the speaker said he
could not state, but his conviction was that
the old parity should be restored and the
two methods be permitted to work together
In the business world.
