very man III civilized community ?

every man III civilized community
What is the value of human life, If
it can be snuffed out as candle on the
fimsiest of pretense, or pretext. through
recklessness or carelessncss, or deliber-
ately as in the cases of Hanson and
of Fuchs, of Balfe and of others who
appeal for justice!
The value Of a human life is as 1t is
measured by the community,
IF it be valuable. homicides and mur-
ders will not be tolerated with senti-
mental pleas and pleadings, which con-
tribute to the travesties of Justice and
the encouragement to criminal acts, such
as murder, Or reckless and carelessness
which is equivalent TO murder.
Has il ever occurred to this commun-
ity that an assault and battery is. in 4
sense, more aggravating and conviction
is almost certain. particularly if the ag-
gressor is not influential, while there is
always an uncertainty in the conviction
of murder, unless the proofs are over
wheming and the trial jury stands un-
moved and uninhuenced by the senti-
mental vaporings of the defendants s
counsel. who would paint his red handed
client in the robes of angelic innocence? !?
As the community gauges the value of
a human life: as the community metes
out even-h handed Justice. so is the value
of the life. which if unprotected must
ever be of little worth, not as much as
hog, which when killed commands a
ready demand at a regular price.
When the conservative citizen who
values his life, contemplates diSpassion-
atcly the mistrias and the travcstles of
justice. the possibility of the escape of
murderers. it is no wonder that he be-
gins to realize that life is scarcely worth
the living unless he shall go about,
especially after sunset. walking ar
senal. ready to defend himself if he shall
be SO fortunate as to escape the blow on
the head from the concealed murderer,
And for all this. who is to be held ac-
countable except the community which
tolerates these miscarriagcs of justice !?

THE STREET CAR TRANSFER
ISSUE.

The street car transfer issue is being
developed slowly. 1t is evident that the
Traction Company is not III spirit at
least as aggressive as it has been 1t has
reached the plane where it is inclined to
consider the declaration that the people
have some rights and privileges which
can not be ignored altogether.
The proposition submitted by the
Traction Company at recent session OF
the City Council to conccde two per cent
of its net earnings Is a departure from
its original stand The proposition is
ridiculous, in the sense that it is gold
brick At any rate the gold brlcls IS
something. and gives encouragement to
the hope that the Traction Company will
in a short time give to the people that
which it is the peoples right to demand
transfers on all the lines Of cars ope-
rated by this company in this city.
Franchises such as are possessed by
were obtained for a song Whatever the
favor the company may desire from this
city must be accompanied with a guar
antee substantial. equivalent to the grant
desired
The Traction Company is not sentl-
mental. If, once upon time, the 1rac-
ton Company could deal with a sentl-
mental council and obtain whatever IT
solicited, the time to obtain such favors
as free gift is past.
All the people want is square deal.
If the company were now to yield TO the
demands of the people for transfers
such concession would not warrant nor
Justify the extension of the term of the
charter they seek.
As such franchises are valuable, money
should be paid therefor. Instead of of
fering two per cent of the net earnings
the company must be required to con
tribute per cent of their gross receipts
This would be, in sense. adequate com
Ipensation for the valuable privileges they
enjoy and desire to extend.
There is pending a suit which It IS ex
pected shall be decided favorably to thi
city. In any event the attitude of tho
| people must remain unchanged until th'
people shall be given square deal.

MR.. CAFFERY SUBMITS PROOF

The mass meeting at Washington Ar
tillery hall, New Orleans. on Saturday
night last. was perhaps the most I'M
portant and certainly the most largely
attended meeting of the pending politi-
cal campaign. AS promised, Mr. Caffery
submitted documentary proof of the
charges he had made against Mr.. San
ders' official character, as it relates to
his home political conduct, and drew
from it the reasonable conclusion that !:
"The man who draws salary for doing
nothing but laying wires that he may
draw that salary for another four years
may be gooI friend of yours and
mine, but he is the worst foe to Demo-
cratic institutions and hopes which de-
generacy can produce.
The evidence which Mr. Caffery
brought forward is cohesive and of such
character that mere verbal denial will
not answer in reply. Letters, kilograms,
copies and memoranda, one at least
written by Mr.. Sanders himself, and
court records, are what Mr.. Caffery
quotes from and produces. and theli
truth seems beyond all reasonable de-
nial. That Mr.. Sanders felt SO is evi-
denced by the fact that he rushed Gen
eral Estopinal, his campaign manager
into the breach, who enters mere plea
of denial in newspaper card with nc
other corroborating authority than Gen
eral Estopinal's word, and promise
that the authentic documents will b.
refuted."
In closing his address Mr.. CATER!
| sums up Mr.. Sanders, fully, fairly ant
truthfully, and in these words:
His kind are the bacteria which may
some day, bring on the social and po
litical dissolution of this wonderful ant
puissant nation.
