Powers of street Car Conductors.
The Morning News has been requested to
publish the laws relating to the power of
conductors and other employees of railroads
and street railways to assign passengers
to certain cars, or to seats therein The
new Code of Georgia $3.50, vol. III, sec
tons 526. 81. 52S and 529 contains the law
covering the subject. Section 527 gives
conductors on the electric lines in this city
the right to assign passengers to seats in
the cars under their charge. Its enforce
ment would make travelling much more
pleasant than it is at present. The follow
ing is the full text of the law on this sub
ject:
Sec 526. Railroads doing business In
this state shall furnish equal accommO-
dations in separate cars or compartments
of cars, for white and colored passengers
and when a car is divided into compart-
ments, the space set apart for white and
colored passengers, respectively, may be
proportional according to the proportion
of usual and ordinary travel by each on
the road or line on which the cars are
used
Sec 5N. Conductors or other employees
in charge of such cars, shall assign pas
sengers to their respective cars or COM
partments of cars, and conductors of dunn
my, electric or street cars shall assign all
passengers 20 seats on the cars under
their charge, so as to separate the white
and colored races as much as practicable,
and conductors and other employees of rail-
roads and conductors of dummy, electric
and street cars shall have police powers to
carry out the provisions of this and the
preceding section.
Sec. 5& Any passenger remaining in
car or compartment or seat, other than
that to which he may have been assigned,
shall be guilty of a msdemeanor. The
conductor and any and all employees on
such cars have power to eject from the
train or car any passenger who refuses to
remain in such car or compartment or
seat as may be assigned TO him.
See 529. The officers or employees hav-
ing charge of such railroad cars shall not
permit white and colored passengers to
occupy the same car or compartment and
a violation of this section shall be a mis-
demeanor.
1t will be seen that the provisions are
plain and straight to the point. covering
not only the law but the police power for
its enforcement

The Matter Of the Muai.trotes

The grand jury is to he commended for
its action in going so thoroughly into an
investigation of the Offices of the justices
of the peace of this county. 1t is made
plain by the grand jurys report that there
is present and pressing need hor a Teor-
ganization of the roster of justices. It APP
pears that there has been gross careless
ness in some instances. incompetence in
others, and altogether too much confidence
in constables in still others.
These magisterial offices are the head
waters of the law under our system of dis
pensing justice. They are closer to the
masses than any other department of our
judiciary. They should therefore, be kept
as pure and free from suspicion as any
Of the higher courts. in order that prop
er appreciation and respect for the law
should be engendered and maintained In
those who resort to them for satisfaction.
The overhauling which the grand jury has
given the matter will have beneficial ef-
feet, since II is quite sure that the court
will move promptly in the premises
The report OF the grand jury, by the
way. contains much that may be used of-
fectively IN arguments against the fee
system. and In favor of putting justices of
the peace upon salaries.

A new boat Is being built near Toronto,
Canada, and its inventor calculates that
II will roll across the ocean in about for
ty-eight hours. This peculiar craft is be-
ing constructed In the shape of two steel
cylinders, one within the other. the outer
one to revolve at a rapid rate, the
inner one suspended on an axle, to remain
stationary. The craft It Is said. looks ex-
actly like a great gas pipe, and instead of
cutting through the water II viii roll along
the surface sidewise. The inventor claims
that the construction Of the boat will not
only increase speed. but by reason OF the
stationary interior cylinder. viii do away

CONGRESSMAN DinEIey Deeply Hurt
From the Boston Transcript Rep).

In making up his tariff schedules, Con-
gresham Dlngley very naturally did not
forget the industries of his own state. He
had provided a duty of cents a thousand
on toothpicks, and 10 per cent ad valorom
40 cents a thousand on skewers, and three
tenths OF a cent a bundle on kindling wood
But Senator Aldrich and his colleagues
ruthlessly slaughtered the kndling wood
clause, ana took some pretty large shaw
ings of the other items. II is said that
this cruel and discourteous treatment Of
toothpicks. skowers and kndlng wood has
wounded the sensibilitics OF the Maine
statesman more than any Of the other
changes made.

To snare the Bre,vers.
From the New York World Dem)

1t is credibly reported from Washing
ton that the proposed increase of the beer
tax is to be stricken from the pending bill
1t is an ideal tax 1t would yield with
absolute certainty $25, 100000 or $50 900, 900
of revenue. 1t would not add one penny
to the price that any consumer has to
pay for any commodity. 1t would simply
impose upon concrete wealth some small
share of its proper contribution to the
common veal.

From the New YOrk Times DemO.

Senator Aldrich seems to be unaware
that this bill involves the greatest dam
gers for his party. The people of the Unit
ed States have lost confidence in protec-
ton for protection's sake To meet the ex-
pectations aroused by the solemn pledges
and repeated promises of the republican
leaders this tariff bill must produce sur
plus and restore prosperity. What if it
does neither? The disappointment and an
ger of the people will wreck the party
responsible for It.

1t Is hardly two weeks ago that the

now in prison under a sentence Of ten

was indicted, tried convicted and sentence
