Excessive smoking, especially by
boys addicted to the cigarette habit,
is ‘doubtless an evil, confesses the
Philadelphia Record, but the tenden
¢y toward making complete codes of
laws of State Constitutions is regret
table. The fundamental law should
_be an enumeration of the powers of
the various branches of the Govern
ment, with such limitations expressed
in goneral terms as may be found
wise. It involves a lowering of Con
stitutions in public estimation to
make them repositories of trivial reg

Does the man who puts or insists

violates the statute because he knows
it is a dead letter? asks the New York
Tribune. Each contributes in his own
fashion to bring law into disrepute
by the practical truce under which
each has his own way and the city
has strict laws and a liberal Sunday

calls for self-restraint in violating
laws once enacted, it equally calls for
self-restraint in trying to get or to
keep on the books in a country like

GUT NOT ALLOWED
Wage Scale on the Southern
Remains in Force,
HOLDS GOOD UNTIL JULY
Finding of Mediators in Favor of Em.
ployees—Three Months' Further
Tria! Will Decide Ulti
mate Action.
At Washington Wednesday night
Charles Knapp and Dr. Charles P.
‘ Neill, the mediators betweon the South
iern railway officials and their employ
€s, reached an agreement by which
the present wage scale on the South
ern railway, for all the organizations
concerned, will be continued until the
first of next July,
The mediators, after a full considera
tion of all the conditions incident to
the inquiry, were of the opinion that
the railroad should not insist on a re
duction of wages at thig time. The
company, through its officials, and the
‘ employes, has accepted this judgment,
The Mobile and Ohio ang Queen and
Crescent lines are inclad®d in the
agrecment. Messrs, Knapp and Neill,
late. Wednesday night, gave out a sign
ed statement covering the result of
their efforts to bring about a settle
ment ag follows:
“The mediators who have endeav
ored to settle the pending controversy
between Southern railway and allied
companies and their contract labor, in
accordance with section 2 of the Erd
man act, have found the employ@s un
willing at thig time to accept a reduc
tion of wages, because of the opinion
of these employes that the present de
pression in business has not continued
for a sufficient period to Justify a re
duction, :
“Under all the circumstances of the
case, irrespective of its merits, we are
of the opinion that the interests of the
public will be promoted, as well as the
interests of all parties to the contro
versy, if the companies shall not insist
upon the proposed reduction at this
time,
“Accordingly we have recommended
to the companies to continue the pres
ént schedule of wages until July Ist,
wext, upon the understanding that if by
that time business conditions have not
substantially ‘improved the matters in
dispute will be taken up again by the
mediators with the view of reaching
Such an adjustment of the wage scale
as may seem to be just under the con
ditions then existing, ‘ o }
“We take great pleasure in announe
ing that this recommendation has been
accepted by the companies and by their
employes in the operating, mechanical
and roadway departments represented
by their organizations.” .
ATTACKS PROHIBITION LAW.
Case from Augusta, Ga, Before Court
of Appeals as Test.
Because it contains a coastitutional
question for construction, .the Georgia
state court of appeals at Atlanta, on
Wednesday, certified to the supreme
court the case of Frank McNelis of
Augusta vs, the State, which is the
first suil in the state court attacking
the constitutionality of the state pro
hibition law, - .
MecNelis was convicted in the city
court of Richmond county, ' before
Judge Eve of violating the state pro
hibition law, and was fined $250 and
costs or sentenced to spend six months
on the chalngang. McNelis demurred
to the indictment in the lower court,
but the demurrer was overruled and
the fine imposed.
McNelis attacks the state prohibi
tion law op the ground that it is un
constitutional because, he states, the
constitution requires the general as
sembly to levy a tax upon the sale of
liquor for the support of the public
schools of the state. There is noth
ing new in this ground, the same claim
having been made by certain brewers
who sought but did not secure injunc
tion from the United States court.
The state prohibition law is also
claimed by MeNelis to be invalid on
account of irregularities in the maan
ner of its passage by the general as
sembly, a charge in connection with
which his petition goeg into minute
details, The case will go on the su
preme court docket for hearing in reg
ular order.

DEMOCRATS FILIBUSTER.,
House Session Extended Far Into the
Night by Dilatory Tactics—A Bat
tle Royal Wag Waged,
-
Formal notice was served on the
democrats in the house of representa
tives late Thursday by Mr. Payne of
New York, the leader of the majority,
that from that time on the republi
cans would Jock horns with the demo
crats and carry through the program
of the majority, in spite of the attempt
of the minority, under the leadership
of Mr, Williamsg of Mississippi, to dic
tate the character of legislation to be
enacted. Immediately undertaking to
carry this schedule into effect, hie forec
ed the latest sitting of the session.
Both sides were able to keep their
members in their seats, and it scon be
came evident that the threatened dem
ocratic filibuster wag “on” in real ear
nest, and that the republicans were de
termined to at least test the sincerity
of their opponents.
The democrats, after the passage of
the agricultural appropriation bill, had
interposed obstructive tactics against
any businesg being done. After sever
al measures had been refused consider
ation by reason of thesé tacflcs, Mr.
Payne called up the resolution to re
fer to the several committecs: the
president’s recent special message. to
congress,
Observing that the democrats were
preparing to place obstructions in the
way of its consideration unless 'ample
time should be given for general de
bate, Mr, Payne asserted that “be
cause of the hypocrisy offl those on the
other side,” meaning the democrats,
no general debate would be allowed.
~ Mr. Payne denounced the democratie
filibuster begun fixst Monday, in pursu
ance of the notice given by Mr., Wil
liams a week ago, and characterized
the action of Mr. Williams as “puerile:”
The democrats, he contended, were in
no position to lay down a program of
action for the republicans. “The ma
jority,” he said, “have charge of the
business of the house, and the business
will go through just as the majority
decide it shall go through.” : : i
“Go to your own leader, the gentle
man from Mississippi,” he shouted at
the top of his voice, “and ask him to
stop this filibustering. Ask him to cease
his objection, and when he stops his
objections and nis filibustering, then
the business of the house will proeeed
in the usual way—" e X
“Do nothing,” a voice on the demo
cratic side was heard to say.
“—Otherwise,” said Mr. Payne, “we
will transact business in our own way
in spite of your opposition.” .
m?latory tactics were i:%pi‘i.'ifi) T
10:09 p. m. when the house, by a vote |
of 121 to 81 adjourned, and the strug- |
gle for’ the time being was over.
POPULIST CONVENTION MEETS.
Bryan’s Adherents Make Trouble by
Threats to Bolt, :
The National Populist convention as

Nebraska delegation, which wasg trying
to procure a postponement of the popu
list national convention in the inter
est of W. J. Bryan, made no progress
during the day, and neither did tae
convention except as to speeches. Af
ter two sessions were held, at the con
clusion of which permanent organiza
tion had not been accomplished, the
convention adjourned until Friday.
The Nebraska delegates declared
they would bolt if the convention at
tempts to place a ticket in the field
at thig time. Their leader said:
“Nebraska is in earnest about this
matter, and we shall bolt if the con
vention attempts to nominate Thomas
E. Watson or any one else. We are not
alone, for we have assurances that Min
nesota, Georgia, and possibly Michizan
and Kansas will walk out when we

Root, in Strongest Language, De
mands That Vigorous Action Be
Taken Against President of
South American Republic.
The long expected correspondence
between America and Venezuela re
‘Spect!ng pending American claims
against the latter country was submit
ted to the senate Tuesday and is almost
certain to create’ a profound impres
sion. It will ba difficult to digest the
vast mass of material which Secretary
Root has placed before congress, but
even a cursory inspection of the docu
ments makes it evident that the ne
gotiations have reached a critical
phase, The president’s realization of
that fact is shown by his transmission
of the matter to the serate without any
comment, regarding the correspond
ence, and especially Secretary RoouUs
strong presentation of the American
case, as sufficient to instantly enlist
the attention of congress.
All the correspondence and docu
ments were referred to the senate com
mittee on foreign relations, ‘
Those members of the senate com
mittee who have already familiarized
themselves with the situation have ar- |
ranged tentatively a program™ as fol
lows: . ‘
“Place a prohibitive tariff on Venezu
elan coffee, {ne expeorts of which con
stitute 45 per cent of the entire Ven
ezuelan foreign trade and 90 per cent
of the coffee is taken by the United
States.
“Exclude all importations of asphalt
from Lake Bermudez the product of
which has been taken almost entirely
by the United States.
“Authorize the president to exercige
the general power invested in him to
take whatever steps he may consider
necessary to treat with Venezuela in
the future.”
In isuing general instructions to the
American ministar, Secretary Root
said:
. “You will call the attention of the
government of Venezuela to the et
that notwithstanding the long and un
broken friendship manjfested by the
- United States for Venezuela; notwith
standing the repeated occasions yon
which the United States has intervened
@s a friend in need to relieve Venezue
la from disagreeable and dangerous
complications with other powers: not
withstanding the patience and consid
eration which has always character
ized the action of this government to
wards Venezuela, the government of
Venezuela has ‘within the last few
years practically confiscated or destroy
ed all the substantial property inter
ests of Americans in that country. This
has been done sometimes in accordance
with the forms of law and contrary to
the spirit of law; sometimes without
even form of law, by one device or
another, with the action of the gov
ernment apparently always hostile to
American interests until of many mil-
Hong of dollars invested by Americans
nothing remains.”
MINERS LAY DOWN PICKS.
Nearly Three Hundred Thousand Out
2 in Northern Coai Fields,
A special from Indianapolis, Ind.,
says: Two hunared and fifty thousand
picks dropped from the hands of as
many bitumincus coal miners of the
United States Tuesday evening, not to
‘be used again until a wage settle
ment has been reached and a scale
adopted between the members of the
United Mine Workers of America and
the codl operators of the various fields.
Wednesday morning 260,000 men were
idle, < .
The gituation, however, does not indl
cate a prolonged strike. An open win
ter and industrial depression have left
a large stock of ccal on hand, and the
differences between miners and opera
tors are very slight. It is practically
agreed that the present wage scale
will be continued, but some policies in
connection with the change in the na
tional officers of the miners’ organiza
tion which went into effect Wednes
day and local differences Between op
erators and miners have resulted in
temporary suspension from work until
an ew wage scale is agreed to eithep
by districts or individual mines.
