rroney Car pIntform RIaer,.

Recently a jury In the Montgomery
county, Pa, court gave verdict Of 81 900
TO trolley car passenger who had sued
tho Pottstown and Reading Railway Co.
to recover damages for an accident. The
company sought 10 have the verdict set
aside on the plea that the passenger was
standing on the rear platform Of the car
at the time Of the accident, and therefore
was guilty Of oontributory negligence;
but the proof being that there was no
available room inside the car at the time,
and the passenger was compelled 10 stand
on the platform, the court refused the
motion to set aside and affirmed the YER
dict
The decision, however, has very inn
portant bearings. II sustains the right
of the trolley car platform rider to dam
ages as compensation for injury when he
is riding on the platform by reason Of ina
bility 10 find room inside the car. But
does II apply TO those who ride on the
rear platform from preference
There are riders who prefer the rear
platform to the inside Of the car. Most
Of them, Of course, are men who desire
10 enjoy the smoke which they may not
indulge in within the car, but there are
others who, without the excuse Of a cigar
or pipe, prefer TO ride on the rear plat
form Of the car even when there are ample
accommodation inside. Surely, in the
event Of accident, such riders would Law
themselves open to the charge Of contribu-
tory negligence.
The introduction Of summer cars re-
moves this phase Of the situation for the
present, and also affords accommodations
for smokers without compelling them to
resort to the platforms. But when sum-
mer is over the reign Of the closed car will
be resumed and platform riders will again
assert themselves They may not be so
numerous when they realize that in the
event Of accident they may bar them
selves from redress through an action for
damages.

Bradstreets says: Settled bright
spring weather iavors the passage Of largo
quantities Of products into final consump-
ton as evidenced by the reports of ex-
panded retail trade, Of enlarged jobbing
recorder business. and Of trade at FIRST
hands in excess Of the volume usual at
this season Of the year Reports from the
leading industries arc OF sustained great
activity, except in some few divisions Of
the fuel and iron trades. where strikes
ourtail operations slightly. The crop
situation is, on the whole, quite cheerful.
the only drawback being the irregular
distribution of rainfall in different dis
tricts. Fall trade, as usual. waits on
crop development. but is Of larger volume
than ordinarily at this season, evidence
that so far the agricultural prospect is for
yields, az least, equal TO those Of last year
on which the wonderful prosperity Of
1905 was largely founded Prices dis
play all their former strength, the slight
upward movement in cereals being based
as much on manipulation of an unwieldy
short interest in the current wheat option
as in the reports Of the crop deterioration,
common at this period"
r. G. Dun & Co. s Rivew says: "Mer-
camille collections are still somewhat
irregular, but at most cities payments are
improving, and the financial situation is
more encouraging now that the San Fran
cisco banks have resumed business with
out any disturbance. Manufacturing
plants are well occupied and building
operations are heavy, but there are indi-
cations Of a lower level for commodity
quotations for the month Of May. Gus
tomary summer quiet is noted in some
departments, although there is less than
the usual interruption, and preparations
are already in progress for a very active
fall season. Labor conditions have inn
proved, the only new disturbances Of note
being locally among the painters, while
the steel industry suffers less delay from
old disputes Railway earnings thus far
reported for May exceed last years by
II per cent, and foreign commerce at this
port for the last week showed gains OF
1884 ,259 in exports and 81 ,134,60l in
imports over the movement Of 1905.
Failures for the week number 1888.

week and 2ll the corresponding week last
year. Failures in Canada number s.,

date are S9,272,e06, against S7,26l ,523

Iaws should D. Enforced.

There is no lack Of testimony 70 the
effect that the need Of the country for
securing the redress Of manifest evils
arising from various combinations in
restraint Of trade is not more laws. but
the more rigid enforcement Of existing
laws
The Interstate Commerce Commission
at present is investigating certain trans
actions by railroad officials which have
all the appearance Of valuable favors eS-
tended for the purpose Of securing dis
examinations which uniustly affect others
who are either unwilling or unable to
pay for them. Thus. officials Of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Co. have confessed
10 receiving large financial favors from
coal concerns which have need Of cars
for the transportation of coal, the natural
inference being that those who accepted
these favors took good care to sec that
those who extended them did not lack for
facilities for sending their coal 10 market.
That other shippers Of coal suffered in
consequence is only natural.
10 appears from the investigation that
these illegal practices have been going
on for years and have long been matters
Of common notoriety Then, why we're
not the offenders prosecuted by the officers
Of the law All these wrongful acts
were In violation Of statutes made for the
express purpose Of guarding against them,
but the laws have been permitted to be-
come q dead letter
The success that has attended recent
efforts TO punish violations Of these laws
is assurance that the trouble is not due
to lack Of law, but TO a lack Of enforce
ment. The Interstate Commerce law
has been in existence nearly a score Of
years, but Il was only recently that the
agents Of the government began to en-
force its provisions. Since then railroad
companies have been mulcted In heavy
fines and railroad agents also. There
is no doubt that other prosecutions along
these lines would result successfully.
The law is all sufficient if it is properly
availed Of.

Calling Of a special Session.

A great deal Of rubbish and nonsense
have been written and printed in relation
to the proposition Of a special session
Of the Legislature for the election Of a
United States Senator. Most Of Il has
the special session as good as called and
the Senator as good as elected
But the public may rest assured that
Governor lea will not call special
session Of the Legislature for the election
Of United States Senator until he feels
absolutely assured that there will be an
immediate election to the Office Of some
man who has his personal approval.
There will be no conjecture about the
matter so far as Governor Lea is con-
cemed. The assurance that there will
be no hasco must be ample and absolute.

The snakes Are saulrmlnR.

The mere suggestion Of a special session
Of the General Assembly for the ostensible
purpose of electing United States Sena-
tor, has set the legislative snakes to
squirming. They have been sleeping in
their holes since the adjournment of the
regular session Of 1905, but when the
special session subject was broached they
Immediately awoke and began to get
ready for a fresh campaign.
Those who are ordinarily conversant
with the surroundings of a session Of the
Legislature know what these legislative
snakes are. They arc schemes Of per-
sonal legislation, under the guise of public
measures, designed 10 put money in the
pockets Of their promoters. Generally
they are aimed at public service corpora
tions, under the pretext Of correcting
abuses from which the people are alleged
TO be suffering grievously, but Of which
the people themselves do not seem to be
aware. These measures are simply black
mail methods, intended for the purpose
Of compelling the corporations against
which they are aimed to pony up" in
order to have them defeated
Then there are the political snakes.
These are in the form of bills relating to
the city government Of Wilmington, from
q complete new charter to amendments
10 the existing charter providing official
places for party favorites or opportunities
for graft in contracts for public work No
sooner had the special session subject
been broaohed than this particular legis-
lative snake awoke from its slumbers,
stretched itself vigorously and thrust its
head out Of its hole.
Should a special session be called these
legislative snakes would at once vrithe
their sinuous way to Dover and have the
Capitol surrounded before the FIRST roll
call of the members.

Rarrv WIN Hold On

William H. Berry, elected treasurer Of
Pennsylvania last fall and nominated by
the Prohibitionists for governor this
week, announces that he will hold on to
the Prohibition nomination and seek
the Democratic nomination for this office
also
Since Berry does not seem to have the
grace TO recognize the proprieties Of his
position, It is hoped the Democratic state
Convention viii give him a peremptory
suggestion by refusing to consider his
name in connection with the Demo-
cratic nomination for governor.
Berry was nominated for State trea-
surer soon after his election as mayor of
Chester, and by his election was COM
PEELED 10 resign and throw the Chester
mayoralty back into the hands of the
Republican machine. During his cam
paign for the treasurership he promised
to effect many needed reforms in the
Office, in the event Of his election.
He should be required TO make good
these pledges, instead Of manipulating
for a transfer to a higher office before he
is fairly installed in his present one.
There are plenty Of more able and avail

campaign as candidate for governor.
