jim CROW LAW FOR LABORERS.

Certain papers and people OF the
country have had more or less to say
about legislation iii the South requir-
ing the separation Of the races Oh
railroads and street cars. At long
range they cant see-or profess i'll
ability to see-thenecessity for adopt
ing Jim Crow cars, socalled. But the
South has not gone so far as to in
augurate a movement to divide white
persons into classes on public con-
veyances and make the laboring
people ride in separate coaches. Read
this from II recent issue Of the New
York Commercial:
While there are some serious diff
culties to beencountered in trying to
draw class, as we'll as race, lines on
the cars and coaches OF railways, the
railroad companies of the country
are confronted by some problems
that seem to demand discrimina-
ton. According to an order issued
by the "Big-Four" company in Illi-
nois, white and colored laborers, when
travelling in groups offifteen or more,
are no longer to he permitted to ride
in other than smoking cars. In
issuing this order the railroad
company simply takes cognizance
of growing nuisance perpe-
trated by the "grent unwashed,"
in forcing their company, in dirty
and otherwise offensive working
| clothes, upon passengers who have
paid for seats in car where reason
ably civilized conditions are presumed
to obtain. Action similar to that
: taken by the Big Four will have to
be taken not only by other railways
but, most likely by our local electric
lines. Today the Subway is driving
respectable travel to other lines at
certain hours OF the day by it's per-
hitting OF bathless, respiratory,
filthy Italians and other foreigners
anywhere in it's cars on their trips to
and from work. Between O'Clock
and 6 in the evening the Subway
trains from the Bronx and Harlem,
where thousands of these laborers are
employed on excavations for build
ings, simply reek with them; and the
cars have become neither a respecta-
BILE nor ID sanitary safe place for the
| cleaner classes. That some segrega-
ton of the laboring element, so far
as travelling in offensive clothes is in
| dulged in, must speedily come is evil
dent. The Subway should be first
among New York lines to appreciate
this and act upon it.
AFTER all, however, the negro will
find that the chances are against him
in the North just as they are some
times in the South. At Pittsburg a
mob organized to lynch the negro
coachman employed by Hartje be-
cause he swore to lies to injure Mrs.
Hartje's character for few hundred
dollars.-Raleigh Times.
In this case if any mob violence had
been done they should not have stop
ped at Furnishing the negro. Hartje
himself, his lawyers, brother-in-law
| and the INSCRIPTIONS detectives who
manufactured testimony in behalf of
the prosecution, showed themselves
eminently deserving OF a coat OF tar
and feathers to say the least.

There ought TO be something equivalent
to removal by address, Further On he
spoke Of the decisions OF English Judges
and English courts as -the pretended
foundation Of judicial power" in this
country,
This sort of talk sounds very much
like something we have read recently in
communications TO Congress from the
White House. II suggests the question
whether the political leaders Of both
parties are not going a little too far in
their denunciation of the Judiciary. Is
it true, as this kind of criticism suggests,
that there is an alarming tendency in the
country on the part Of the courts to as
sumo and exercise a power which they
really do not possess under the funda-
mental law? We doubt il. There may
have been instances in which particular
Judges in the Federal tribunals have
gone too far in the assertion Of jurisdic-
ton; but such cases are the exception
and not the rule. We are strongly in
clined to think that such attacks upon
the Federal Judiciary as that contained
in this speech of Mr.. DE ARMoND are to
a great extent u~nfounded, and that their
influence il most pernicious in mislead-
ing the public and creating a lack Of cor
idence in the courts, which confidence
cannot be destroyed without serious
detriment to the public welfare. The
specific criticism of improper judicial
acts is to be encouraged rather than
deprecated; but it should be specific and
should point out the particular acts
which are deemed wrongful, and the
particular officials by whom those acts
have been done. II criticism is thus
restricted we are confident thai the cases
in which condemnation is merited will
prove to be comparatively few.

In Yemen the old Arabs tell the tale
of their discovery of coffee. The pastors
feeding their flocks on the bare noun
tains observed that after eating from a
shrub the goats became frisky beyond
the ordinary hopping way of goats.
Surely a stimulated goat must have
challenged the attention of the man
whose task it was to keep him in the
flock. The ~goatherds chewed the leaves
and became themselves duly exhilarated.
This is said to be the discovery Of coffee,
and from the intoxicated goat has de-
veloped the whole trade in java and
mochamixed.
In the South Sea Islands the field rats
were seen to chew the common pepper
bush until they lost control of their
commonly sedste demeanor and frisked
about in most indecorous intoxication.
This led to the discovery of the kava,
the only stimulant of the Polynesians.
Fortunately the finding of the antidote
went with the disclosure of the bane, for
it was seer that when the jag became
too great for the rats to bear they nibbled
the sugar cane and were promptly re-
stored to sobriety.
These are all discoveries along the
line Of that which has interested the
Dutch in Java, yet they have added not
at all to the physicians supply of remedy
against disease. Temblekan may be good
for monkeys, but past experience gives
little hope that it will avail with men.
Its appearance as a patent medicine,
however, in view Of the publicity which
it has received is not unreasonably to be
expected.

der in the first degree. The defendant
has been found guilty by the jury as a
matter Of fact, and the highest court in
tho State has declared that the defend
ant was fairly tried as matter Of law.
Under these circumstances there would
have been no Intervention by the Cover

that the decision of the Court Of Appeals
was made by a majority Of that tribunal
instead Of being unanimous. Three of

Judgment the defendant ought TO be
tried again. The dissent Of these Judges
from the conclusion reached by the

regarded by the Governor as a sufficient
reason for mitigating the penalty; and
he has therefore reduced the punishment

Of course. always be more satisfactory
to have the judgment Of tho court OF

Of this State have not seen fit to require
unanimity in such Judgments in order
to make them effective. The affirmance
in the Patrick case was therefore in all
respects as valid and binding as though
it had been pronounced by a united
court; and so far as judicial action il
concerned il amounts to a solemn declar-
alton by the Judiciary that PATRICK was
fairly tried and justly convicted. Sub
sequently to that affirmance the defend
ant sought by application to the Federal
courts to review the action Of the courts
of this State; but he recently abandoned
his efforts in that direction, and it can
not be supposed that any Federal tri-
bunal would now sanction q renewal of
the attempt on his behalf thus to secure
a new trial.
Nor ought there to be any possibility
of further Intervention by the Executive
to reduce his punishment In the absence

lative discussion, ia ended.

Transfers.

II is hardly to be expected that the
new rule regulating the issuance of
transfers on the cars Of the New York
City Railway Company can be put into
operation without friction, but it appears
to be perfectly reasonable in its pro-
visions. Under this rule every passenger
wanting a transfer must get it when
paying his fare. Transfer agents will
not be kept on the street after January I.
Two results will be obtained by abolish
ing these stations. The congestion caused
by crowds of applicants for transfers
in rush hours will be done away with,
and the opportunities for robbing the
company will be curtailed.
The city passenger transportation COM
ally to swindlers who do not pay their
fares. Transfers are sold for a cen
each by n~ewsdealers in some parts of
the city, and are given as premiums with
drinks in certain saloons. They are
good for ride, and the conductors have
no way OF distinguishing them from
transfers properly issued. To prose-
cute the persons guilty Of such frauds
is practically impossible. When the
cases come into court the complaint
names a sum 80 small-five cents-that
public and judicial sympathy is pretty
likely to be with the offender, and the
company is lucky to get OF without a
severe denunciation.
The row that resulted from the en-
forcement of the rule requiring passen-
gers TO ask for transfers when they paid
their fares was a curious exhibition of
the attitude OF certain elements in the
community toward the street car lines.
From the abuse the company received a
stranger would have thought il had sup
pressed the dearest liberties of the nation.
Rowdies who assaulted conductors were
commended by the courts. The hideous
nature of the outrageous requirement
that patrons Of the road should complete
their purchases at n time, and not in
instruments, was ventilated thoroughly
in letters to the press. IL was contended
with much heat that the roads were
cheating their passengers, and it was
solemnly proposed that every passenger
demand a transfer whether he wanted it
or not, and give il away, after complet-
ing his ride, to some n who might Use
it. The action thus suggested is a mis-
demeanor. and persons guilty of COM
bining to effect it may be indicted and
tried for conspiracy. The excitement
caused by the regulation has subsidized
and it's justice is pretty generally recog-
nized now.
Operating a street railway In New
York is one of the most exciting occups-
lions imaginable.

The End OF the Patrick Case.

The action of Governor HIG0INs i'm
committing the sentence of the defend
ant from death To life imprisonment
brings the Patrick case to an end-or
at least ought to have that effect.
We think that there is some misap-
prehension about the legal status Of the
case, however, which ought to be cor
rected. Under our system Of juris-
prudence the jury is the sole judge Of
questions of fact in a prosecution for
murder. The jury which tried PATRICK
found him guilty-that is to say, its
verdict was tantamount to a deolara-
ton that he was guilty of deliberate and
premeditated murder beyond any rea-
sonable doubt. The verdict vas sub
ject to review by the Court of Appeals,
which could inquire into only two ques-
tons: First, whether there was any
evidence to sustain it; and secondly,
whether any rule Of law was violated
upon the trial, either in the admission or
exclusion Of evidence, or in the instruc-
tons given to the jury by the trial Judge.
IL cannot seriously be contended that
there was not evidence to sustain the
verdict; and the Court OF Appeals has
determined that no error of law was
committed upon the trial. Here we
have, then, all the elements essential to
the maintenance Of q conviction Of muir
