ARE AFTER THE NORTHERN PACIFIC
District Attorney Sullivan Alleges the
Company Has Violated the
Safety Appliance Law.

Under orders from the interstate
commerce commission at Washington
the United States district attorney, P.
c. Sullivan, has filed charges in the
federal court alleging that the North
ern Pacific railway has violated the
safety appliance act of the interstate
commerce law. The charges set forth
in detail the nature of the alleged in
fraction, and the Northern Pacific is
sued for $500 and costs as penalty for
the violation. In two instances a de-
fective coupling is complained of. De-
fective brake shoes and braking ap-
paratus and a drawhead bar on the
"B" end of the engine that is only
20 inches from the ground instead OF
34k, as prescribed by law, are the
basis of other charges.

protection For the Hired Man.
Divorce ia not the only field wherein
the state laws conflict. as is shown oy
the effort to establish by national law
some rule for indemnifying employees
who are injured while about the busi-
ness of their employers. Under the
common law it has been easy for en-
Movers to set up the plea that an In
Jury resulted from the negligence OF q
fellow servant Of the victim, and there
fore the employer in the case could not
be held responsible. Several states
have practically annulled that doctrine
with respect to railway men. while oth-
ers leave the question on the old COM
mon law basis.
It is proposed to protect railway en-
ployees on lines engaged in interstate
traffic by making owners and operators
liable for damages to employees In
their work which result from misman-
agement or negligence on the part OF
either the officers, agents or ordinary
employees of the roads involved. 1t ID
also proposed to have the United
States courts governed in all actions OF
the kind by the laws Of the state
wherein such injuries are received.
This would leave the legal tangle just
where II was before, but would affirm
the justice of the special laws In Ger
tain states, and we would be spared
the anomaly of plaintiff for damages
In a state where the law gives him re-
dress, being denied the same II COM
PEELED to sue before a United States
court.
Some of the states referred to as hav.
ing special laws for employees include
in the benefits men engaged In other
fields of hazardous labor than railroad
ing. In France and some other Euro
pean countries all proprietOrs are held
strictly responsible for accidents to
employees. Where wages are fixed by
the market the rate often does not pro-
vide for "rainy day." and the victim
of accident in operations where the
employer has the best of the bargain
in the long run should receive protec-
ton without having to fight for 1t In

Americas First Rice.

The very Introduction Of rice into
America seems almost providential
having been brought about by accident,
when in the year 1864 an English yes.
sci, being stOrmbound, put into Charles
ton harbor. The ship, beaten by the
storm and in need Of repairs, was
compelled to lay in harbor for some
time, and it was while there that her
captain gave to one Of the citizens,
Thomas Smith. small quantity of
rice, which principally constituted the
cargo. Smith planted the grain in his
garden, and the plant thrived and
bore most abundantly, whereupon
Smith gave seeds to his neighbors,
which they also planted, and were
successful in raising crops. Prior to
that eventful occasion the grea
stretches of lowland along the Caro-
lima coast (now very valuable) had
proved barren waste, and in the
planting of this little parcel of the
wonderful cereal and its successful
harvest is found the logical beginning
Of rice culture in America.-Sunset

be no quarrel with the application of a
law which excluds the ignorant from
the polls, provided it. works fairly.
The ignorant whites, however, are pro-
tected in their suffrage in some south
ern states by the grandfather clause"
while the uneducated negroes, having
no grandfathers to fall back upon, are
excluded. No law, he claimed, could
be framed upon the fifteenth amend
ment, which did not work ultimately to
exclude from the ballot both whites and
negroes who lack educational qualifica-
tons. By framing their law fairly, by
giving up the grandfather clause" he
attempted to show the men of the
south they could provide themselves
with alternative parties in their local
affairs without the least danger Of ne
having two parties equally capable Of
taking hold of the government was OBJ
vious. The one could be used to pun
ish the other in case of an abuse of
power.
The south ought to be able to see
the point. 1t must be tired of sending
up United States senators who vote
against a rate law on the ground that
it is contrary to a provision Of he
confederate constitution adopted for
Alabama during the war. Such legis-
lative back numbers must be as weari-
some to the south as they would be to
the north. The peace and prosperity
of the islands of the Caribbean sea are
of the utmost Importance to the south.
The question of the application of the
Monroe doctrine is not a party ques-
ton, yet the south has supplied the
senators who endeavor merely for a
possible partisan advantage to call a
oppose a particular treaty settlement.
These are but a few of the many in
stances of the backwardness of the
politics of the south, to which it has
condemned itself by giving out in ad-
vance that no matter what the va
carries of the democratic platform or
of democratic statesmen, the votes of
the south must go to that party
Judge Taf's statement of the disad-
vantages of the south under the theory
of sOlidity is complete. His remedy
calls merely for fairness, for a square
deal between the white man and the
black man on the basis of their capac-
ity to administer the government. 1t
does not involve ignorant negro domin-
alton nor does it permit ignorant white
domination Under it's workings the
white people would still dominate, but
not all in one party. They would di-
vide into two parties, the one watching
the other and their rivalry tending al
ways to improve the character Of the
administration. The working out of
the problem belongs to the SOUTH but
it cannot be denied that a northern
man has suggested a plan.

1t was not an intensely partisan

plea was that the industrial south

POLICY HOLDERS COMMITTEE.

The policy holders committee of the
New York Life and the Mutual Life of
New York held it's first meeting in
New York the other day. and issued
an address to the policy holders
throughout the world. The point Of
this address is that the committee, CO.
operating with members of the COM
panies everywhere, will endeavor to
give effect to the Armstrong law,
passed by the last New York legisla
ture Lest any should think the legis-
lature had done a new thing the COM
mittee takes pains to explain that the
Legislature did nothing but restore
original conditions. Under the char
have no capital stock. The duty Of
eecting the trustees devolves upon the
members. But through many years
they have been in the habit of delegat
ing this duty by giving proxies or of
neglecting it entirely. Less than one
fifth of per cent of the members have
voted The administration held proxies
for most of these votes and thus be-
came self-perpetuating. 1t abused it's
powers. 1t paid exorbitant salaries,
wasted money in extravagant commits
sions, sold it's own honor and the honor
Of the companies in bribery and gave
away enormous advantages which be-
longed to the members through syndi-
cate deals, in which favortes of the
officers drew down profits on transac-
tons in which they put up no money
of their own.
These facts induced the legislature
to call the attention of the policy
holders to their duty. In order that
they might be able to cooperate it
abrogated all existing proxies and
should be made public three months
before the election. These lists will
become available on July q. The
committee which met yesterday will
make up a ticket for directors in the
two companies and submit it to the
policy holders and urge them to vote it
by mail at the election to be held in
October
The committee admits that it has a
difficult task before it, that it will cost
$4,000 merely send a circular to
each policy holder, but there is little
doubt the amount will be raised since
there are many members who will
subscribe to a fund to Dust the Wall
street crowd. Meanwhile the present
trustees will not be idle. They are al
ready busy sending out circulars. at
the policy holders expense, showing
what marvellous things they are doing
for their constituents They will pre-
sent a rival ticket and it will take or
ganization and hard work on the part
of the independents to beat the ma
chine. The plea will be made that the
present officers are not the men who
abused their trust, that they are re-
formers themselves. But it should be
borne in mind that they are merely
stop-gap officials, that they were
placed in power by the same influences
which ruled before and that the only
real safety for the policyholders lies in
voting their own ticket and putting
their own men in charge
