Rights on the Cars,

From the New York Tribune.
Court decisions have now made it clear
beyond dispute, at least in this state, that
motormen and conductors on cars of all
kinds-whether the motive power is steam
electricity or cable or equine whether
on the surface or on bridges, in tunnels or
anywhere else-must give people reason
able allowance of time for getting on or
getting Off. If such reasonable time Is not
allowed and the cars are started too quickly
while passengers are getting on board or
are leaving their places, then, the highest
judicial authorities have determined, the
companies running the lines are liable for
the payment OF damages in case accidents
occur. The general verdict of intelligent
people will be that what is good law in
these cases Is also right and equitable.
be thoroughly understood Every one
should bear In mind that motormen and
conductors have not the least color of legal
Justification when they try to hustle pas
sengers on or off cars with intemperate
haste and at peril Of life or limb. These
young men In many cases need self-re-
straint to regulate, govern and balance
their wild and irregular movements.
But for a number of years New Workers.
OF either sex and Of any age have looked
upon the managers of these companies
with nervous dread which has astonished
visitors from abroad. Most of the unfortu-
nate people who are compelled to travel to
and fro on our overcrowded street cars
have borne themselves with forlorn ser
Witty, as il they feared the crack Of a

when they Will straighten their bended
backs. throw aside the stoop of humility
and abasement which has been so long the

Senator Vests Platform.

Senator Vest offers these planks for in
sertion in the next democratic national
platform;
T. A declaration for graduated income
tax
. Unrelenting opposition to trusts.
g. declaration against Imperialism ana
the colonial system.
1T would be suicidal" said the senator,
Ito thrust the silver issue forward again.
Although it was formulated at Sweet
Springs, Mo-, this suggestion will not be
sweet to David b. Hill. The probability is
that it will leave a bitter taste in his
mouth. The proposition for an income tax
in time of peace has never been accept
able to him. He fought it with great en-
ergy and ability when it was brought for
ward as a feature of the Gorman-Wilson
tariff bill. and voted against that measure
on it's final passage because his democratic
associates refused to strike it out. This
is populism, not democracy he warned
them, "and if you surrender in this in
stance you will presently be forced to sur
render in other instances" This proved
to be prophecy. for two years later the
democratic party in national convention
wrote a platform so populistic in tone that
hundreds of thousands of democrats re-
fused to support it. Moreover. the SUI
tional contention that the tax thus im-
posed was unconstitutional And yet, with
New York necessary to democratic sue
cess, and Mr.. Hill the leading New York
democrat. Mr.. Vest again brings forward
the income tax.
AS for trusts, how can Mr.. Vest hope
for party capital out of that issue? I'm
relenting opposition to such trusts as are
monopolstic in their operations and tend
encies will be proclaimed by both parties.
Does Mr.. Vest imagine that the advantage
of rhetoric is with the democracy when
it comes to lambasting trusts for cam
paign purposes? Does he imagine that a
show of names of those interested in trusts
will reveal more republicans than demo-
Gratis? And would he undertake to main
tain in campaign of four months that
the protective tariff is the mother of
trusts?
AS for imperialism. why declare against
something which has no supporters? Who
is advocating Imperialism? Who fears it
except for campaign purposes? And when
1t comes to the colonial SYSTEM" decla-
ration simply against that will not suf-
flee in dealing with the question of our
new possessions. If We are not to hold
Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines.
what shall We do with them, and how
soon? If we are to hold them, under what
form of local government, and to what gen.
eral end? Mr.. Vests proposition does not
touch side, edge or bottom of the diff
Guilty. 1t is at best but a negative sort OF
campaign cry, while the people Will de-
mand something to the point.
Mr.. Vest should try again. The waters
of Sweet Springs may tone up the physi-
cal system-and everybody on the senator s
account will be glad 10 believe that-but
they are clearly no aid in the preparation
OF a substantial political platform.

Those are the conditions. Emergencies

This is frank, and startling. Here is a
body of about hundred members, able
and honest men, we may believe, but GER
tainly not infallible. They were elected to
this convention to perform a service of the
highest Importance to the whole people.
and at the same time instructed to submit
the results of their labors to the judgment
of the people to be expressed at the polls.
Their deliberations have taken a wide
range and the new constitution as it
leaves their hands is certain to contain
features that were not discussed or even
thought of when the convention was
chosen. We have then this very good rea-
son, in addition to the promise made. for
the submission of the work of the conven-
ton to the popular judgment.
But Senator Turnbull. speaking for the
other sde says no. And the reason he
gives is that, if submitted the child of the
convention will probably be rejected by
the people, and there will go our work.
That is to say. these hundred gentlemen
In convention assembled no longer bear al
legiance to the people, although they are
bearing the peoples commission. and may
proclaim as the constitution of Virginia
an instrument which they have reason to
believe is repugnant to the majority Of the

At no time in the history Of disease has there

Today relative a friend ac-

trouble-Bright's disease.
Kidney trouble often becomes advanced into
acute stages before the afflicted is aware of its
presence; that Is why we read of so many sudden
deaths Of prominent business and professional
men, physicians and others. They have neglected
to stop the leak in time.
While scientists puzzling their brains to find
out the cause each individual can, by little pre-
caution. avoid the chances Of contracting dreaded
and dangerous kidney trouble, eradicate 1t COM

Many precious lives might have been, and many
more can yet be saved, by paying attention to the
kidneys.

fit its readers at every opportunity, and therefore

or bladder trouble to write today to DR.. Kilmer

And. If 1t has. how long will the fruits of

Tammany's ups and downs afford an in

with the gamblers spirit. If fortune smiles
Tammany makes hay while the warmth
continues Its stocks were never higher
than now. II fortune frowns, Tammany
shrugs its shoulders, but Is patient. 1t
never despairs. 1t never relaxes its vigi-
lance. 1t bides it's time. 1t acts upon the
theory-well established in it's history-that
the public's condemnation will pass and
that the enemies of today may be the allies
OF tomorrow. So that if Tammany for

From the Buffalo Commercial.

Senator Tillman condemns Booker T.
Washington's scheme of educating the
negro even along industrial lines. as an
attempt to place him on an equality with
the white artisan, something that would
intensity race hatred In the south" In the
same speech at Marinette, Wis. the sena-
tor made an eloquent plea in Justification
of lynching." He declared that 1.-THE white
people of the south would remain on top in
spite of the devil" and that Is doubtless
true. But 1t Is no reason why the blacks
should not be treated with justice and good
will. Booker T. Washington Is far

His Labor Ended.

In this city, Saturday, January
5. 1901, at 5 p. M, d. J. Schnebley,
aged 83 years, passed away.
Mr.. Schnebley was one of the
Oldest newspaper men of this coast
and also the first man to start a
paper in the state of Oregon. Many
years ago he came to this town and
started the Localizer, or rather
came into possession of the plant
shortly after the paper was started.
Some time ago he disposed of his
plant because of his feebleness. He
was at one time assessor of this
(then Yakima) county, before the
division. While an ardent sup.
porter of the principles of the re-
publican party, he seems never to
have been one of the favored ele-
ments of that party, as he was often
misused and abused by that organ
ization. But it is ali over now.
The funeral took place from the
family residence Monday at II a.
m. Peace to his ashes.
