VIZ. nerner,s PIatform.

There appears to be but one plank in
Mr.. Berners platform, and ii may turn
out that that plank is a rotten one. stin,
Mr.. Berner has so much faith in it that
he insists that both Col. Gambler and
Judge Atkinson are trying to get on 1t.
Mr.. Berner's plank is that the railroads
of the state should be compelled to obey
the state constitution. Who is there that
denies they should? Does Mr.. Berner
know anybody who thinks the railroads
should be permitted to violate the
constitution? If he does, he ought to hold
them up to the public gaze. If he doesn't
he ought to get off his platform. There is
no use trying to convince people of that
which they already admit.
Is there any railroad in the state which
is violating the constitution? We have
watched Mr.. Berner's speeches pretty
closely, and we have not noticed that he
has named any such railroad? Why
hasn't he? Is 1t because he doesn't know
that any railroad is violating the consti-
tuition? 1t would seem as if he would
have named the roads which are violat-
ing the constitution if he could do so.
Perhaps he has a little delicacy about
making such an important piece OF infor-
nation public without being asked TO do
so. He could easily arrange that. Let
some one of his friends when he makes his
next speech rise and say, MIR. Berner, you
are doing a lot of talking about railroads
violating the. constitution. please tell us
which roads you have in mind, and what
evidence you have that your state
ment is correct" Mr. Berner would
need no better opening than such
question would afford him.
1t might turn out of course that Mr.. Ber-
ner is mistaken. In that event he would
be practically without a platform. STILL
we arc sure he would rather be in that
predicament than TO continue to lead the
people 10 believe their constitution is being
violated if such is not the case.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-04-01

In Montreal man has brought suit in
court for the purpose of ascertaining, he
says, whether a pedestrian or a bicyclist
has the right of way when the former
desires to cross the street. Leaving out
of consideration the question of legal
right, 1t may be said that the pedestrian
who pursues the even tenor of his way
and quietly crosses the street as If there
were no wheelman nearer than Mars, runs
very little risk from the great majority of
wheel riders. IL is the vacillating, spas
modic, nervous pedestrian who is in dan
ger. There are, of course, a few foolish
and reckless riders who are liable to bowl
over the most seIf-p possessed pedestrian
who ever trod street crossings; but these
persons would still be foolish and reckless,
and would knock down just as many vic
tins, If the laws covering such matters
were printed in red ink and posted at
every corner Police courts and jails and
chain-gangs are the only remedies for
them.

First Night in a "sIeeper.y

A traveller from the short grass country
boarded No. at Dodge City a few nights
ago, says the Topeka State journal. He
wore long, white whiskers, and a wide
brimmed white felt hat, and he stood 0
feet g.
His boots were neatly BACKED, and he
had on a new suit of clothes. 1t was APP
parent that he was not at home in his
new toggery. He was going to California,
he explained, to visit his Oldest son, who
was prosperous fruit raiser on the coast.
He had engaged a berth in the Pullman,
and he asked the conductor where it was.
Right here, sir" said the conductor, as
he pointed out the section.
do you sleep in it that way, all curled
up on a seat?" he asked, in amazement.
NO it will be made up when you are
ready 10 retire"
The man did not exactly know what
made up meant, but he asked no more
questions. He sat in the drawing room
and smoked, and finally he said to the con-
ductor:
''Well, guess I'll turn in
''All right, sir; your berth is made up"
The man walked into the main part of
the car. Then he went back to the draw
ing room.
'They all look alike" he said, "you viii
have TO show me mine.'
The conductor showed him to his berth
and left him. The man looked at it. then
he went back to the rear platform of The
car and closed the door. In a few minutes
he stuck his head in the car and shouted:
Look out, I'm coming" and he made
run for his berth with his clothes, or most
of them, under his arm. In the morning
he stuck his head out between the curtains
and called the conductor.
How in thunder am I going to get out
on this platform to dress with all these
people looking2"
The conductor explained to him that he
would have to dress in his BERTH He did
so, but it took him two hours

Personal.

Mrs. Martha B. Conine of the Colorado
Legislature, in the course of an address
made to womans audience in Brooklyn
the other night, said: my legislative ex-
perience has been pleasant throughout,
and l have never found anything more
disagreeable than women meet in getting
up a church affair"
Among the school teachers Of Philadel-
phia is Polish nobleman, Count Antanas
Jocis. While a student at St. Petersburg
he was arrested, charged with seditious
practices and sentenced to Siberia, but es-
capped He was reeaptured, but escaped
once more, and, after short residence
in Germany, sought a quiet residence,
naturally selecting Philadelphia.
w S. Cowdy, negro who says he rep
resents a new world-sweeping religion
which was revealed to him in Guthrie,
Ok, has started for Washington on cru
sade He has many disciples Those VINO
join him are saluted with the holy kiss"
and when one has received that salute he
is a disciple. Cowdy conceives his mis-
sion to be to preach what he thinks is the
truth to the President and to Congress.
That is why he is going to Washington.
He has some remarkable ideas. Among
them is this: That Col Ingersoll will be
converted and will become "a second Paul
of Tarsus." Cowdy believes that his mis-
sion calls him to preach to the rich classes.

Hnve We a cnure for war.

In the resolutions introduced into the
Senate and House declaring war against
Spain several. reasons are given as causes
for war. But are any of them such as
are recognized by the law of nations? MIR.
E. J. Phelps, ex-minister to England, and
a high authority on International law, in
a letter to Hon. Levi r. Morton, says not
one of them is a valid reason.
These reasons are three in number,
of the Maine. even though she had no
part In that ships destruction, that our
commerce with Cuba is being destroyed
by the war and. lastly, that we are bound
to put stop to the war for humanity's
sake.
Mr.. Phelps makes the point that it has
not been shown that Spain is in any way
responsible for the Names loss, and that
even if the destruction OF the ship was
due to SPANS negligence in not offering
her proper protection while in Spanish
waters, Spain's liability is questionable.
If we should undertake to hold her liable
under such circumstances she might, with
equal right. hold US responsible for al
lowing flibustering from our shores in aid
of the insurgents, thus prolonging the
struggle in Cuba. If we should demand
indemnity, therefore, we might make a
rule that would work to our disadvantage.
The claim that the war in Cuba inter
rupts our commerce has very little weight,
and would hardly be urged seriously.
Great Britain has suffered greater loss
than we have through the war In Cuba,
because her commerce with Cuba is great
er. A neutral states loss of commerce
because of war is not cause recognized by
international law for intervening in the
war for the purpose of putting an end
to it,
With reference to the third reason Mr..
Phelps says: 'Tt is true that international
law recognizes as the sole and rare ex-
ception 10 the rule above stated in respect
to Intervention, that a nation may inter-
fere where to prevent unjustifable slaugh-
ter and outrage in another country it be-
comes absolutely necessary. But this ez-
ception. which has very rarely been acted
on, applies only in extreme and very clean
cases, and has no application whatever to
this case"
Mr. Phelps gives a number of reasons
why it has no application-reasons which
appear to be quite satisfactory. If Mr.
Phelps is correct in his position that there
exists no good ground for intervention in
the Cuban war, Congress should not take
the Cuban matter out of the hands of the
President until it is certain that he can
accomplish nothing towards settling il.

The Nearby Drnins.

The Casey canal is being cleaned out.
1t is reported that a part of the force of
convicts heretofore at work in far away
BuckhaIter swamp viii be put on drain
age nearer the city. These things would
seem to indicate that the County Com
missfoners have at last concluded to ac-
cede to the tems nd of the people that the
settled portions of the county should have
attention in the way of drainage before
the advent of hot weather. Whether the
commissioners purpose standing by their
position, that the city must attend to the
drainage Within a two-mile limit, or
whether they will extend their distin-
guished consideration to the city of Sa-
vannah and have the nearby drains clean

drainage around the city, then the city
authorities must or should, take steps to
look after the matter. 1t might be a good
idea for the city and the county authori-
ties to confer together and see if some
arrangement cannot be made under which
the needed improvements may be begun
at once and carried to a speedy conclu-
sion.

Col. LivingstOn's Complaint.

Col. Livingston, the Representative in
Congress from the Atlanta district, is sure
that the Democratic politicians and wire
pullers of Fulton county are an migrate
full lot They haven't treated him with
the distinguished consideration to which
his services entitle him. While he was at
Washington struggling with the Cuban
question these politicians took "snap judg-
ment' on him-at least he takes that
view of their action-and fixed the date of
the Fulton county congressional primary
for April q. That date is pretty close at
hand, and Col. Livingston won't have a
chance to look after his fences in Fulton
county, He says he is needed at Wash
ington-it is important that he should be
at the national capitol at this time when
the question of peace or war is to be
settled-and he will attend to the nations
interests even if he should lose his seat
in Congress by doing so. He does think
that in view of the fact that he cannot
get away from Washington in this crisis
of the nations affairs the Fulton county
primary should have been fixed at a much
later date.
Col. Livingston cannot expect the same
sort of gratitude from the Atlantians
as he received from the Venezuelans. At
lanta is a hard hustling town, where
every man is looking out for himself. If
Col Livingston wants sentiment he must
go to Venezuela. He may be free to so
there If what is said about the congress
sional prospects of one of his opponents
is reliable.
