EMPLOYERS LIABILITY.


Among the excellent laws which the
Congress past at the last session was
an employers liability law II was a
marked step IN advance 10 get tho rec
ogniton of employers liability ON the
statute hooks; but the Law did not 40
far enough, I'm spite Of all precautions
exercised by employers there are un-
avoldable accidents and even deaths
involved IN nearly every line Of busI-
ness connected with the mechanic arts
This inevitable sacrifice Of life may be
reduced to a minimum. but It can n0J.
be completely eliminated. II Is a gre1
social Injustice to compel the employee
or rather the family of the killed or dis
abled victim. to bear the entire BURDEN
OF such an inevitable sacrifice. In
other words. society shirks its duty
by laying the whole cost on the
victim, whereas the injury comes
from what may be called the le-
ultimate risks of the trade. Com.
pcnsstion for accidents or deaths
due in any line Of industry to the
actual conditions under which that In
dustry Is carried on should be paid by
that portion of the community for the
benefit Of which the industry Is carried
on--that Is, by those who profit by
the Industry. If the entire trade risk
Is placed upon the employer he will
promptly and properly add It to the
legitimate cost Of production and assess
II proportionately upon the consumers
of his commodity, 1t is therefore clear
TO my mind that the law should place
this entire risk OF q trade upon the
employer Neither the federal law, nor
as far as ] am informed. the state laws
dealing with the question of employers
liability are sufficiently thoroughgong.

CORPORATIONS.
stiIl Need to Enlarge Powers of Inter-
state Commerce Commission.

The present Congress has taken long
strides IN the direction OF securing pro-
per supervision and control OF the
national government over corporations
engaged IN Interstate businessman the
enormous majority Of corporations OF
any size are engaged In interstate bust
ness. The passage of the railway rate
bill. and only to less degree the pass
age Of the pure food bill, and the pro-
vision for increasing and rendering
more effective national control over the
beef-packing industry, mark an import
ant advance In the proper direction. In
the short session II will perhaps be diff
ficult 10 do much further along this
line; and II may be best TO wait until
the laws have been In operation for
number OF months before endeavoring
to Increase their scope, because only
operation viii show with exactness their
merits ana their shortcomings and
thus give opportunity to define what
further remedial legislation Is needed.
Yet In my judgment Il viii In the end
be advisable In connection with the
packing house inspection law To pro-
vide for putting a date on the label
aud for charging the costs Of inspection
TO the packers, All these laws have
already justified their enactment. The
interstate commerce law for instance,
has rather amuslngly falsihed the pre-
dictions. both OF those who asserted
that II would ruin the railroads and
OF those who asserted that II did not go
far enough and would accomplish MOTH
ing. During the last Ave months the
railroads have shown Increased earn
ings and some OF them unusual divi-
dends, while during the same period
the mere taking effect OF the law has
produced an unprecedented. q hitherto
unheard OF, number OF voluntary re-
auctions IN frCights and fares by the
railroads Since the founding OF the
commission there has never been a time

HAMPTON AND TusKEGEE.
Graduates OF Them Turn Out Well I'm
Majority OF Cpses.

There Is another matter which has a
direct bearing upon this matter OF
lynchlng and of the brutal crime which
sometimes calls il forth and at other
times merely furnishes the excuse for
fits existense. 1t is out of the ques-
ton for our people as a whole perma-
nently to rise by treading down any
of their own number, Even those who
themselves for a moment profit by
such maltreatment Of their fellows
will in The long run. suffer No more
shortsighted policy can be imag-
terest OF one class, to present
the education of another class. The
free public school. the chance for each
boy or girl to get good elementary
education lies at the foundation of our
whole political situation. In every
community the poorest citizens those
who need the schools most would be
deprived Of them If they only received
school facilities proportional TO the
taxes they paid. This Is as true of one
portion of our country as Of another
Ii is true for the negro as for the
white man. The white man, II he Is
wise will decline 10 allow the negroes
IN a mass to grow TO manhood and
womanhood without education. I'M
questionably education such as Is OBJ
tained In our public schools does not
do everything towards making a mana
good citizen; but IL does much. The
lowest and most brutal criminals those
for instance who commit the crime or
rape. are In the great majority men
who have had either no education or
very little; just as they are almost
invariably men who own no property
for the man who puts money by out OF
his earnings, like the man who ac-
quires education, is usually lifted above
mere brutal criminalty, or course the
best type OF education for the colored
man, taken as whole, Is such educa-
tion as Is conferred in schools like
Hampton and Tuskegee, where the boys
and girls, the young men and young
women are trained industrially as well
as In the ordinary public school
branches. The graduates OF these
schools turn out well IN the great ma
jority of cases, and hardly any of them
become criminals, while what little
crimlnality there IL never takes the
form OF that brutal violence which IN
vites lynch law. Every graduate OF
these schools--and for the matter of
that every other colored man or wom-
an--who leads a life so useful and hon
orable as to win the good will and re-
spect of those whites whose neighboi
he or she Is. thereby helps the whole
colored race as It can be helped In no
other way; for next to the negro him
self, the man who can do most to help
the negro is his white neighbor who
lives near him; and our steady effort
should be to better the relations be-
tween the two. Great though the bene-
At OF these schools has been TO their
colored pupils and to the coored peo-
pie Il may well be questioned whether
the benefit has not been at least as
great TO the white people among whom
these colored pupils live after they
graduate.

mob's terrible lust is once aroused. The
lesson Is this: No good citizen can
afford to countenance defiance OF tAe
statutes, no matter what the provoca-
ton. The innocent frequently suffer,
and. II Is my observation, more usually
suffer than the guilty. The white peo-
pie of the south indict the whole colored
race on the ground that even the better
elements lend no assistance whatever
I'm ferretlng out criminals OF their own
color The respectable colored people
must learn not to harbor their GRIM
inals, but to assist the officers IN bring
ing them to justice. This is the larger
crime. and II provokes such atrocious

SEES DOOM OF UNITED STATES
Destined to Perish as Country, Says
Mexican Journal.

To judge from present appearances
the United States is not likely to
reach old age. Administrative immor-
ality, the eagerness to win wealth,
name and power without regard to
the means; the RELOCATION to oblivion
of the democratic practices of other
times and many other similar causes
are actively contributing TO the disso-
luton OF the United States as a ma
ton. Moreover, that nation, which
was born, and had the rapid growth OF
a monster, is bound also to come to
sudden ending, and having now reach
ed its highest point, its course hence
forth must be downward until it
reaches the lowest depths. By the end
of the present century the United
States. which will have caused days
Of bitterness to the nations Of Ameri-
ca in general and to Mexico in par
ticular. will be split up into several
nations and probably they will no
longer be republics, but will have
some other form OF government. per-

Yankees are becoming monarchical
and they already regard many of the
uses of institutions of democracy as
mere formulas.-Mexico City FL ITEM.

The Cell in the Closed Corridor.
No one hesitates-indeed. the agent
of police gives no time for meditation
he means business. No doubt he is
armed with some authority, vested in
him by the project, which gives him
the power and the liberty of search
ing the house of NJ. Girard. AT any
rate, he does not appear to have any
fear regarding the consequences, and
shows about as much animation as the
two comrades.
The driver has his orders now, and
brings the trio directly in front of the
door belonging to NJ. Girard's resi-
dence.
Rap, rap, goes the ponderous knock
er, the sound reverberating through
the corridors within and arousing
some of the inmates, who begin to
shout, some of them to swear, because
they have been disturbed in their
sleep
A minute elapses, and then a wicket
in the door opens, through which pro-
trudes a head-one almost expects to
see the cowled head of a monk; but
instead a shock of hair surrounding
a red face pushes into view. while the
owner, in thick voice, demands what
they will have at such an hour.
