Judge Wakefield Reversed

The supreme court of the State of
Iowa, yesterday reversed the decision
of the Monona county court in the
case of j. j Fitzgibbon VS. the Chicago
& Northwestern railroad company, for
injuries sustained by the plaintiff in
the Logan wreck several years ago.
The Monona county court awarded
Fltzgibbon $1,000 damages, but the
higher tribunal thought differently.
The Des Moines Daily Capital yes
terdaY had the following to say con-
corning the case:
The most important case handed
down this morning was from Monona
county, an action at law to recover
damages for injuries sustained by plain
tiff in q collision between trains on de.
PENDANTS line of road. The case was
tried before George w. Wakefield,
where decision is reversed by the court,
Judge Granger absent and taking no
part, with Judge Waterman dissenting,
Judge Robinson concurring in the
dissent. 1t is alleged that on the 11th
day of July, 1896, plaintiff was pas
senger upon one of the defendants
trains from Logan to Loveland; that
after the train started from Logan it
collided with another train coming
from the opposite direction and that
by these reasons plaintiff received the
injuries for which he asks damages.
The defendant issued a general denial
Of all the allegations of the petition.
The railway company on the above
date, carried party of excursionists
from Omaha by the way of Council
Bluffs to Logan, and run special ex-
Gprsion, sold the tickets to the man
ayers OF the excursion party, it being
left to the association to see that no
one but members of the party and
their families we're carried on the
train. The train was not a regular
one and did not run on schedule time
and no tickets were sold for passage
thereon. The company also claim that
the plaintiff was not 2 passenger on
the train; that he was a trespasser and
that 1t was not responsible for the in
juries which he received.
In the evening when the picnic party
was ready to return home the engineer
and conductor on the excursion train,
overlooked THO fact that freight
train running on schedule time was
about due, and they negligently, after
proceeding short distance, collided
with it, causing number of deaths
and injuries, the plaintiff being among
the injured The court holds that
even If the train was not made for the
carrisgs Of passengers in general, the
defendant, through its eonauetps, tsh
the right to accept SUCH passengers.
The supreme court als0 points ont q
number of errors and reverses the
judgment of the supreme court.
Judge Waterman, dissenting, says
that he "does not agree with the ma
iority, in that the case will have to be
rsversed for the error in submitting
to theJdry the issue OF gross neglis
gence, but In all other respects think
the action of the trial court was cor

husband hunting with $4,000 proiectiles

MARRIED WOMEN AND PROBES
SIONS.

One of the clever magazine articles OF
the spring is that of Sarah Grand. author
Of 1.-The Heavenly Twins" upon Should
Married Women Follow the Profess
sons?" She discusses situations, posi-
bilities and probabilities with astuteness.
but she leaves the whole question up in
balloon to some extent by saying Each
case must be dealt with singly. In one
case 1t might be a great. hardship for a
married woman to have to follow a pro-
fession; but in another it might be an
even greater hardship to prevent her do
ing So. or course this may be charater-
lied as naive Indebtedness. In the main,
however, Sarah makes strong plea for
the womanly woman, whose first duty
and desire is TO make her married life
success. To do this, she points out,
it is generally necessary to give ones
attention to making the home comfortable
vote much time to the rearing and educa-
ton of the family. The abnormal women,
who have no aptitude for motherhood -
she dismisses in a short paragraph with
the remark: Let them take up law,
literature, medicine or art, If they like,
and distinguish themselves if they can -
The author brings the whole question
finally to one of means to an end. 1t
is always necessary for somebody in the
family to earn the family bread and
butter, and sometimes, unfortunately,
the woman is the one. Her conclusion.
that a woman should have the same
chance in the professions as a man. is
one that has often been disputed. but
has many arguments in it's favor
Miss Grand's closing words. 1.-THE care
of a child is the sweetest of professions;
and that woman is neglectful of her best
interests who goes out into the world
to work when she can get nice man
to do the work for her." do credit to

The fathers and founders of the re-
public and the trainers of the constitu-
ton have been apotheosized as the Gre
ators of new system of political liberty
and popular self-government. No doubt
they deserve reverence and euiogy.
Among the builders Of nations they stand
pre-eminent; but the fact remains that
they were monarchists and aristocrats
at heart, and had little faith either In the
intelligence Of the common people or
their capacity to govern themselves
They believed that wealth. education and
brains. rather than numbers and majori-
ties. should select the rulers and direct
the energies of the nation, and so they
committed the choice of president and
vice president to college of electors. to
be appointed by the states, and provided
that senators should be chosen by the
legislatures rather than directly by the
people
In theory the electoral college was to
assemble on a given day at the different
capitals, and, in secret session, choose q
president and vice president, as the con-
clave Of cardinals selects q pope. The
people were to be entirely excluded.
They were to have no part nor lot, nor
voice in the matter. This was the con-
sent of the governed. The electorate

THEORY. AND PRACTICE.
But democracy soon demolished this
o1I
obsolete. Through the successive stages
Of a private caucus, a legislative caucus,
congressional caucus, and the perfected
organization Of township, county, state
and national nominating conventions the
people have abolished the electoral col
lege. The machinery remains. but the
electors are the servants ard rot the mas
tiers. They meet and vote, but their func-
tons are diverting anachronism. The
trainers of the constitution intended he
should do-exercise his own judgment
and In so doing vote for any other man
that the candidate named by the party
of which he is member, would outclass
Judas Iscariot in the eXecration Of man
kind. Had a Bryan elector cast his vote
Tor Mckinley, or a Mckinley elector cast
his vote for Richard Croker, as each had
the constitutional, clear right to do, 1t Is
difficult to estimate the measure of the
penalty which popular indignation would
have inflicted.
This Is one of the many unwritten
amendments to the constitution, which
have so changed that venerable instru-
ment that George Washington and the
other deputies would with difficulty rec
ognize their work.
The senate is undoubtedly the most i'm
pressive and dignified body in our political
sy stem. Sharing executive power in the
ratification of treaties and the confirma-
ton of the appointments Of ambassadors,
judges and other officers, 1T has gradually
encroached upon the prerogatives of the
president. and dictates the policy of ad-
