Her Husband Is Not Responsible for
Its Wag ging.
OAKLAND, CAL, April II. - Judge
Greene decided to-day that husband is
not liable for SANDER when his wife is the
defendant. The case was that of J. NJ.
Douglass against ]. II. Mckenzie and wifi
for $1,000 Judgment was given for s3oo
against the wife personally.
The court held that the old doctrine If
the liability OF the husband for the wrons
ful acts OF the wife grew up under con
dition of things where the wife and tho
husband were in legal sense one person
and that person the husband. he could
then control the properly and income OIL
the wife, but with the more liberal poiicy
of recent laws, which recogniZs the rights
OF the wife to her interest in the commu-
nifty property and to hold her separate es-
tate, the reason for the old policy has
passed. The courts, particularly IN Kan
sas and Illinois cases. have held that the
husband is exempt from liability for DAM
ages done by the wife in the matter of
SANDER.
Judge Greene's decision is the first of its
nature d elivered in California.

1t is perhaps we'll to say eyen at

again become formidable candidate

has not brought prosperity, and at
some one has truthfully and tersely
remarked: If Mckinley is the ad

been claimed, them be is long wa,
ahead of his country.
Free silver may or may not be {
panacea, but it is evident that th'
country has little to expect from th'

prosperity comes very soon the Dem

Just as the engine reached the

there was landslide,a and the engine,

the smoker went into the hole. The
train was running slowly and it was
fortunate that it was, as the pas

the accident.

the Democrats Generally Being Op-

New York. March S.-The Journa
has been interviewing Congressman
on the wisdom of calling it and the
probable work of the extra session.
The republicans want higher tariff
as quickly as it can be got; the dem.
ocrats want it unchanged. saying
honesty and economy would make
both ends meet. They also want the
income tax, at least a majority of
those quoted by the journal.
james A. Cooney (dem.) of the
Seventh Missouri District: Il think
the present tariff would produce suf
ticient revenue. And, if not, there
are other methods more direct and
less expensive to the people than an
extra session. First aud best, reduce
expenses and appropriations. Sec
ond, levy the deficit On liquors, to-
bacco and other subjects of internal
revenue. These simple methods
could have been applied by the re
publican party at regular session
of Congress at any time during the
past two years, and thereby have
covered the small and diminishing
deficit. This deficit has not been,
nor is it now, subject of any solici.
tude to that party; without it, what
feast of plunder could it have prom,
ised to the tariff barons to have
aroused their courage to threats aud
violence in the late campaign"
David A. DeArmond (dem of the
! Sixth Missouri District: Il do not
favor the purpose for which the ex.
ira session is to be called I prefer
an income tax to either the Wilson
or the Mckinley bill. The majority
of my district desire no revision OF
the tariff in the direction of protec'
ton"
