JuG~John NJ. Kennedy, Of Pittsburg,
has just ruled that although railroad
passenger travels on a pass the COM
pany Is not exonorated from paying
damages in case the passenger is in
jured. The case Is that Of Albert j.
Edwards, formerly assistant postmas-
ter of Pittsburg, who asks for $4,000
because he was disabled on the Penn
sylvania railroad in a wreck at Steel
ton in January, 1898. Mr.. Edwards had
his hip injured, and will always be
forced to carry Il cane. Superintendent
Robert Pitcairn testified that he issued
the pass on which Edwards was travel
ing, and this was set up by the COM
pany as ground for Il non-Suit.
Says the New York Sun: 80 long
as clergymen are permitted to trave
upon railroads at half rates, so LONG
must the shortage in their fare be paid
by other travellers. The establishment
of cut rates for any privileged class OF
people is demoralizing, and the hon
orable clergy should not only protest
against it, but should firmly refuse tC
take advantage Of it,"

WICKED WILKES.BARRE.
Mr.. Nichols Says 1t IS Difficult to En-
force the Law There.

force the Law There.
Emmett u. Nichols, of Wilkes Barre,
brother of the mayor of that city, ad-
dressed meeting of the Central Prohi-
bition league last evening at Conserva-
tory hall upon "'rhe Present Licensing
System" He traced the authority, re-
sponslbility and results of the system
and argued that the government had
entered into a partnership with the
liquor traffic in 1862 to raise more reve-
nue., and that the interest of the govern
ment exceeded that of the liquor deal
ers. He condemned the alliance I'm
scathing terms and denounced It as con-
trary to the established principles of
Christianity. which should always gov
ern Christian nation.
Mr.. Nichols dwelt on the difficulties
contended with at Wilkes Barre in en-
forcing the laws, and made n powerful
appeal to Prohibitionlsts to remain in
the field and fight the battle politically
until the liquor traffic had been wiped
out of existence"
Chairman w. w. Lathrope initiated
general discussion. in which he ey-
pressed his disappointment at the
granting of license to person in the
Thirteenth ward, Notwithstanding that
the presiding judge had declared that
the applicant had been guilty of viola
ton of the law and that sufficient evi-
dence had been given to warrant con-
yiCtiOn,
