THE SENATE SPECIAL SESSION


The message of President Roosevelt
to the senate, which convened yester-
day In extra session, briefly asks at
tention to the canal treaty with Co.
lombia and the Cuban reciprocity
treaty. remarking that they are of far
reaching importance to the welfare Of
the United States and that there Is
urgent necessity for their adoption. AL
though something more than this was
to have been expected. in view of the
presidents great interest in the con-
ventions, it is sufficient, since there is
really no new argument to be pre-
sented in behalf of either treaty.
1t is presumed that Senator Morgan
will continue his opposition to the canal
treaty, though it would seem that he
should by this time realize the hope
lessness of keeping up his fight. The
Panama company has extended the op-
ton for the purchase of the property
without making any new condition, the
sentiment of the country is very largely
in favor Of the Panama route and there
is the necessary two-thirds majority in
the senate for the ratification of the
treaty. Mr.. Morgan ought to realize,
therefore, that his opposition is useless
and if he does not senatorial courtesy
should not permit him to delay ratifca-
ton Of the treaty much longer There
is no very definite information as to
the chances of the Cuban reciprocity
treaty, but 1t is thought they are favor
able to ratification. There will be a
fight made against it. however, and II
has been reported that some senators
who would have voted to ratify at the
regular session will not do so now.
There is reason to believe that the ad-
ministration confidently, expects the
ratification of both treaties.

TRAGEDIES ON THE RAIL.
Limited Damage in Death Cases
Premium Care1essness.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.

So long as human life is cheaper than
properly raised or depressed tracks grade
crossing tragedies will continue. So long
as II is good business" for the railroads
to pay nominal damages to the heirs OF
train wreck victims rather than provide
adequate equipment and capable employees
disasters by rail will continue to shock the
country. On last Saturday alone dozen
people were killed and injured in railroad
accidents. week ago today the New York
Sun printed a list Of a score OF such acci-
dents during the previous week and took
occasion TO say in conclusion: 1T is re-
corded that the total number OF persons
killed on railroads in this country during
the year ended June 80, 1902 was 2,s1s,
while the number injured was $4,000. In
1901 the number OF killed and injured was
even greater than this
These accidents continue to be recorded
with alarming frequency and the present
winter has been even more remarkable for
the exceptional number of wrecks involv-
ing large loss of life. These facts are
being used with telling effect by those who
are now urging the Illinois legislature to
SApsSl the law fixing the limit for life
at ., ,OOO In Ohio, too. this is the maxi
mum amount that can be obtained as dam
ages In New York and some other states
the question Of damages is left to the jury.
In the cases arising from the New York
Central tunnel wreck Of a year ago large
verdicts were returned, based solely on
the earning capacity Of the victims and
what the insurance men call their "ex-
peetation OF life"
Many who oppose the repeal OF the 5000
Limitation argue that, were 1t not for this,
the sympathies of jurymen would be worked
upon and excessive damages obtained which
the reviewing courts might not have the
courage to set aside. AS matter OF fact
the setting aside OF excessive damages is
a familiar experience in every state and
arouses no comment. Moreover, why should
not the courts be trusted in this as in
other matters?
1t is not TO be forgotten that in personal
Injury suits the door is open to frauds which
would be impossible in cases brought to
recover damages for loss OF life- In the
latter there can be no dispute as to the
fact of death or as to the victims earning
capacity and expectation OF life. In the
former there is a wide margin to be al
lowed for perjury and honest error.

The people of Nebraska have lost
more than half million dollars through
the BARLEY embezzlement The larger
part Of this sum has never been ac-
counted for. Part of it has doubtless
been lost in gambling and speculation,
but a larger part was either repre-
sented by /. o. Us. in that famous
cigar box, or by investments in mines
and real estate, or by private account
in unknown repositories.
When Bartley was paroied the people
were given to understand by Governor
Savage that the parole would be jus
titled by restitution. BARLEY, himself
has time and again asserted that he
proposed to pay back every dollar the
state lost while he was treasurer
Bartley has been at liberty for more
than n year, but not a dollar has yet
been repaid out Of the contents of the
cigar box.
1t is up to the legislature to make a
searching investigation and exert all it's
influence to bring about restitution of
at least part of the money the state
has lost. The resolution calling for an
investigation should be pushed through
the house without division and a Wig
orous effort should be made to bring
about the recovery of whatever is left
in the hands of Bartley or his confeder-
ates, whoever they may be.

CRITICISM OF THE SENATE.

The remarkable speech of Mr.. Cannon
in the house of representatives, in refer
ence to the rules of the United States
senate, particularly that requiring
unanimous consent. should not fail to
attract the attention of the country,
since 1t points out a most marked and
important contrast between the two
houses of congress not commonly under
stood, but which ought to be better
known. The next speaker of the house,
with that candor and courage that are
characteristic of him. said that while
the house of representatives has rules
that permit majority to legislate, the
senate has no such rules and legislation
in that body is had by unanimous con-
sent.
The result of this Is that single
member of the senate can block legisla-
tion and If he have the physical en-
durance prevent action on any measure
to which he may be opposed. This has
been done more than once and In the
last congress one senator was able to
prevent the ratification Of a treaty
favored by more than the necessary
two-thirds majority and force the call
ing of an extraordinary session of the
senate. An analysis of the proceedings
of the upper branch of congress will
show that they rest almost wholly on
unanimous consent and the practice is a
part of that courtesy" which has come
to be a reproach to the senate. Says a
Washington correspondent: "As long as
every senator continues to feel that in
wrecking the plans of any other senator
outside Of the lines of debate or party
organization he invites directly the
wreck OF his own in turn. so long the
disposition of most senators will be to
| let the secondary interests involved in
a measure take their chances, or to let
the president call extra sessions if he
wishes to; the one thing to be careful
about is not TO overstep the almost in.
visible line of courtesy for ones col
leagues" Thus the will of a majority
can be set at naught in the senate, and
more than this the action OF the popular
branch of congress may be thwarted by
an individual senator.
The protest of Mr.. Cannon against
this condition will be approved, 1t is
not to be doubted, by the intelligent
judgment of the country. We think
there will be very general acquiescenct
in the opinion he expressed that the
senate must change it's method of pro
cedure or the house of representatives
backed up by the people, will compe
the change" else the house shall be
