Prnsecutions Needed.

The other day a driver of an express wa
gon. having occasion to cross local rail-
road track at grade. finding the safety"
gates raised. ventured upon the track,
only to be Immediately struck by a moving
engine which had been concealed from his
view until he reached the track. The man
was badly hurt, the vehicle demolished.
What Is to be the outcome?
Such accidents as this are almost certain
to happen from time to time until the rail-
road companies. under the pending bills.
complete their terminal improvements. The
railroads will probably be compelled. in
some cases. to pay damages, but there is no
assurance whatever that their carelessness
will be visited by any more severe punish
ment. In this case the gateman respon-
sible for the blunder which lured the
victim upon the track may have been dis
missed by the corporation, but this will af-
ford no real guarantee to the community
that his successor will not quickly repeat
his performance and MAIN or Kill some
body who is invited into danger.
The Commissioners have the power to
supply this guarantee in a measure by
making the continued occupation of the
streets at grade without absolutely reliable
safety appliances so onerous to the railroad
companies that they will hasten to employ
trusty gatekeepers and supplant their often
ramshackle apparatus with the best de-
vices. A few prosecutions in the courts
would bring the roads to time on this point.
Those prosecutions, however, should not be
perfunctory. or lenient spasmodic, but
rigid, thorough and systematic. They
should strike at the ultimately responsible
officials.
1t matters nothing in this connection
that the railroads face prospect of early
changes. Life must be protected during
even the five years of terminal construc-
ton. Doubtless during that period the
streets In the rairoad-invested sections will
be more dangerous than ever, unless the
precautions to prevent disaster are in
creased.
The people of Washington have prayed
for the elimination of the grade crossings
for many years. but they have never grant
ed that they stood to reap all the advan-
tage from such a change. They have urged
! that the railroad themselves are prospect
lively the largest beneficiaries of the expen-
ditures which are proposed through the
greater ease of approach and egress, the
right to run Swifter trains through the
city, the immunity from -amage suits
growing out of accidents and the like.
This belief becomes a certainty under con-
ditions of an exact accounting in the courts
whenever life is destroyed or limbs are
broken or property is wrecked. If the
Commissioners were to insist upon a full
enforcement of their own regulations they
would make the railroads very speedily APP
preciate the fact that 1t is profitable for
them to raise or lower their tracks. This
point was demonstrated effectually in
Chicago that the railroad companies were
glad to accept the privilege of eliminating
the grade crossings at their own expense.

The suggestion of the possibility or con-
STRUNG the words UNITED States in the
uniformity-o duties provision of the Con-
stitution so as to exclude from their scope
territory belonging to the United States and
not yet organized into state has been de-
nOunced as an attempt to overthrow the
Constitution and to enslave helpless Ameri-
can citizens But 1t is now conceded that
in at least three cases the Constitution
uses the words United States with pre-
cisely that limited meaning, and that Curl
ously enough one of these instances Is in
the very provision by which slavery and in
voluntary servitude prohibited No one
dis putcs that these words in the provision
concerning the time OF presidential cleo
tions throughout the United States" in
clude only the States and not the non-vot-
ing territory belonging to the United States.
When the Constitution says that the Prest-
dent shall not receive any other emolument
than his salary from the United States or
any of them the latter phrase unmistak-
ably limits this United States to the States
of the Union and excludes everything but
the States. When the fourteenth amend
ment says that slavery shall not exist
within the United States or any place
subject to their jurisdiction the Constitu-
ton affirms that there are places not with
in the United States which are subject to
their Jurisdiction. in other words that the
United States In this provision mean only
the States united. and that territory be-
longing to the United States is not In this
connection and consequently Is not inva-
riably within the United States. The SUI
Premc Court is to determine whether the
words United States in the uniformity
clause are properly construed in the same
fashion as similar words in the three in
stances Just cited.

WEAVER CONES and GOES

Commodore Weaver of Norma and
Samoa fame was a visitor in Honolulu
for the last two days. He came un-
heralded and to the majority of his for
mer friends his presence in Honolulu
was unknown. The cause for the quiet
of the Commodore's entrance was be-
cause he kept his presence on the
Sierra a secret except to a favored
few.
The Commodore does not now take
the public into his confidence when he
contemplates his various flying bust
ness enterprises so it is not very
surprising that many would not know
of his being in this place when he was
last heard from at the head of an eX-
plOring expedition in the wilds of Low
err California or Mexico.
The Commodore did not take passage
on the Sierra until quite late. In fact
he did not secure passage until after
the manifests had been made up SO
his name could not appear on the reg
ular passenger list. He took cabin pas
sage to Page Page as he intends to
start work on his cocoa plantation near
Apia. He says that the affairs with
his company have all been straighten-
ed out and that his difficulty with the
German government has also been adj
justed and he can now begin to devel-
op his concessions near Apia.
The following appeared in the San
Francisco Chronicle:
SAN FRANCISCO, July 2S.-Nicholas
j. Weaver, the erstwhile owner of the
yacht Norma said today: when l came
up from Samoa eight months ago the
Honolulu papers declared that l had
robbed the company of all it's money,
and would never dare to show my face
again in the Islands. And they said a
lot of other disagreeable things They
said the lady who accompanied me was
not my sister, but a notorious woman
from New York. Now, that was un-
kind. My sister is with me at the Pa
lace Hotel, and will accompany me
back to Samoa. I'm going to show
some people that they are mistaken.
SO far as the Samoan Estates Company
is concerned it has not robbed any
body, and | have not robbed the COM
pany. l am going back to the islands,
and we are going to engage in the ma
nufacture of chocolate on a large scale.
We have our entire mechanical plant
installed, / have Strengthened out all
differences with the German Govern
ment and do not expect any further
friction with the authorities"
Commodore Weaver was at the Mo-
lulu. 1t is said by those who know
him that he was accompanied by a
handsome looking woman but whether
she was his sister, his cousin or his
aunt, Weaver did not say. From the
San Francisco interview she is evident
ly passing as his sister.
