ELASTICITY OF Law.
How AN Albany lawyer ssear-d a
Verdict in HIS FAysr.


A recent incident, related b. the Al.
bany IN. W Journal, pretty well illus.
trstes the elasticity and resources Of the
law. A gentleman bought at auction an
allegeded brick house for s., coo paying
$500 down. The same evening he was
informed by friends that it was not
genuine brick house, but "yeneered"
one-thst is. frame house with single
thickness Of brick outside. He con.
suited Lawye- A as soon as possible, and
the lawyer secured an injunction restrain.
ing the auctioneer from paying over the
$500 to the seller and then brought suit
TO recover the $500 and 81, 900 damages.
Lawyer b, representing the seller Of the
house, looked into the matter, consulted
one or tao artichtects, and became salts.
led that he had no case; that Lawyer A
was right in claiming that the house was
not brick. and that a fraud had been
committed in selling it for brick house.
he therefore compromised with Lawyer
a by returning the $500. The auction.
eer was unable to collect lis commission
from the seller, the latter claiming that |
he had instructed the aucticneer 10 sell |
the house for what it waa, and had not
authorized him to sell it as brick
house. The suctioneer then consulted |
Lawyer A to see if he could aid him.
Bot you advertised and sold the house
Is brick house," Yes" '.Then if
we can prove 1t was q brick house l
think we can recover. replied Lawyer A.
lie looked around and found two or
three builders who were willing to tes-
tify that it was brick hcase. The
foundation and basement were brick.
lie then brought suit to recover the SIS
commission, Lawyer D again represent
ing the seller. At the trial Lawyer A
was on hand with several witnesses to
prove that the house was brick one,
lawyer D was not PREPARED for this line
i attack by A. and had no witnesses ON
'and to rebut him. and A secured
Judgment fir the SO with costs.

The Canadian people in cash and lands
have paid to the Canadian Pacific railway
company $l19,000,0OO. The cost Of the COM
panys right Of way, construction, equip
ment and the handling of its lands was $780,
100000. The company has received, there
fore, from the people S39,OOo,OoO above all
its expenditures. 1t is likely to get another
big sum out of the government for the sur
render of its monopoly in the Northwest,
which Sir John Macdonald has apparently
concluded to buy as the only way of quiet
ing the rebellious province of Manitoba.
Canada's experience in railroad building
very closely resemble ours.

PERSONAL AND PECULIAR.

Governor Seny of Alabama will be the
protectionist candidate for United States
Senator in that State against Senator Nor
gan. and good many papers are advocating
his election.
Richard X. Fox, the editor Of the Police
Gazette and the great patron of the prize
ring, began his newspaper life as writer on
a religious paper in Dublin. Fox's presses
print the Christian at Work.
1t is an odd coincidence that the father of
President Carnot of the French republic
should be the senior member of the Senate,
and by virtue of this should take the Presi-
dents chair and call the body to order.
Attorney General Garland's son and the
son of Senator Jones of Arkansas appear to
have had little mill with bare fists on the
outskirts of Washington few days ago, and
young Garland came out of it with bat
tered face. One story says it was love
affair, and another lays it to game OF BILL
lizards.
Prof. Maria Mitchell resigned the chair of
astronomy in Vassar College last week. on
the plea that she needed rest; but the exec
utiye committe of the trustees, did not ac-
cept the resignation, and granted her indef-
mite leave of absence, her salary 70 go on
until the annual meeting in June. At that
time it is not unlikely the distinguished
astronomer will be made professor emeritus:
She is in her 10th wear, and she had gained
high rank in her science 40 years ago, while
she had been professor OF astronomy at vas
sar since it was started in 1865. Miss
Mitchell is very remarkable and interest
ing parsonage, and one Of the most delightful
takers in the country.

A rumor that the Dominion government is
going to ask for an increase of the appropri-
ations for fertilization and defence is made
the basis of an article in the Halifax Chroni-
Gle, showing the great increase of the cost of
the militia service Of Canada for the last
eight years The figures are certainly sur
prising In 1S79-S0 the Domnion's total ex-
penditure for defence and the militia was
only S69O,0OO In 1888 it was $1,292.oOO or
almost double. This additional sum is not
explained by the expense of putting down
the Northwest rebellion. That is all extra
and is not included in these figures. In the
meantime the expense Of taking care of the
Northwest Indians has increased in even
greater ratio. 1t was 100000 in 1880, and
81, 75l. 1888 in 1867 And notwithstanding
these great increases the militia, according
to the Halifax Chronicle. are not more eff
clent or better drilled than ten years ago.
Most of the added expenditure is for mill
tary schools, larger staff of paid officials, and
general style in the management of the de-
partment-in other words, for fuss and
feathers

The grand jury that has been investigating
the recent election at Jackson, Miss,
report that it was entirely free from
intimidation or fraud. The jury ex-
press regret that the requirements of
their oaths hamper them in particular
izing the extent Of their inquiries. This
is the case that Senator Chandler recently
brought to the attention of the Senate. The
performances of Mississippi grand juries in
the past have not been such as to inspire
public confidence that their findings in this
case are truthful or that they have investi-
gated the charges with any other purpose
than TO whitewash the culprits.

1t worries free trade organs terribly to see
the price of anthracite coal go up. They
doubtless wish there was duty on it, so
they could charge the rise to the tariff.
RECRUITS FOR THE PROTECTIVE ARMY.
lAlbany Journal
The free trade attitude of the Democratic
party drove Pennsylvania into the Republic
can column, and there it has been fixed and
immovable for the last thirty years.
The free trade policy Of President Cleve-
land bids fair to do the same thing for Con-
necticut, New Jersey and Indiana.

Our present prosperity, almost without q
parallel in history. is the outgrowth Of the
American policy of protection to home labor
and industries. Why seek to change It'll
Why not go slow? Least of all are the
Southern States prepared for any radica
change. 1t will be sad day for the South
when free-trade principles shall take the
form of Congressional enactments; and i
viii be sad day fol- that political party
which thus presumes upon the ignorance anC
indifference OF our people. Repeal the nov

people from the iron collar of the whiskey

1t will be observed that the total output OF
anthracite regions is, in round numbers,
thirty five million tons. OF these, as compu-
tation will show, nearly thirty-three million
tons were produced by seven companies,
viz: the Reading Railroad, the Lehigh Val
ley, the Central New Jersey, the Delaware
& Hudson Canal, the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western Railroad, the Pennsylvania
Coal and the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
panies. These seven companies produce
nearly the entire output of anthracite
Their directors are the "coal barons."

The Mormons have by no means aban-
doned their efforts to get Utah admitted into
the Union asa State. The clause of the con-
stitution forbidding polygamy, which was
recently adopted, not having had the desired
effect of hoodwinking the country into the
notion that the Mormons had reformed, they
have now introduced an act into the territorial
Legislature Furnishing bigamy and polyga-
my There is little doubt that it will pass
But as long as polygamy remains the chief
corner stone of the Mormon creed, the coun-
try is not likely to believe that the act would
be enforced after the Territory got into the
Union and the coerciye power of the Nation
al government was withdrawn. When the
church ceases to sanction plural marriage
the country may begin to believe that the
Mormons are on the road to conversion, but
even after that Congress will be likely to
insist that they undergo long period Of
probation before they are allowed to govern
Utah,

Thelgowth of the temperance sentiment
in Missourris something quite remarkable,
especially considering the reputation of the
State for backwardness in instituting re-
forms that can hardly be described by the
word conservatism. The Prohibitory. or
Third Party, is probably no stronger, If as
strong, than in 1884, when it polied little
over ten thousand votes for its candidate for
Governor But there has been gain on the
side of temperance reform, quite outside Of
the political field. Since last June elections
under the provisions Of theWood local option
law have been held in sixteen cities and
sixty-two counties of Missouri. Fifty of
these elections have resulted in majorities
against the licensing of the liquor traffic and
but twenty-seyen the other way. In these
elections 1878 votes were polled, of which
1917, or majority of 1884, were against
the sale of liquor As in Georgia and other
Southern States politics have not been
brought into these local option elections
The votes mark exactly the state of public
sentiment
