Electric railway bad an experience yester-

be used as an argument Of the opponents
of the proposed execution of criminals by

ed with the Sprague system of motors, the
power being furnished by an Edison ma
chine OF 900 voltage. The trolley wire
broke this morning and one end fell to the
street. The electrician being absent Da-
Wis undertook to repair the damage him
self by using insulated tools. The pliers
were dull and he had some difficulty in
setting the wire but suddenly it parted
and he received the full force of the 900
volt current. 1t knocked him to the
ground and rendered HIM unconscious.
He was soon revived and taken to his
room and beyond considerable nervous
prostration is uninjUred. He described
the shock TO be the same as If he were
struck In the breast with club but says
that while the pain was intense for the
instant it lasted such short time that it
WAS gone before he realized what had been
done.
Other employees of the railway have re-
ceived shocks in a milder form and all as
sert their fearlessness of coming in con-
tact with the supposed deadly current. 1t
leaves some of them qualmish at the stom-
ach but nothing serious has resulted.

A NEEDED CHANGE.

The day has so completely passed awag
in which it was a grave ofense for law
yer 10 take case with the fee dependent
upon the result of the litigation, that a
Court of the State of New York has re-
Gently decided that such practice is
recognizable and will be sustained by the
Colrts-a decision, however, made FIRE
quently before But it is a question
worthy Of consideration, whether return
to the ancient rigor of the law in such
matters would not be better for all con-
members Of the bar who have thought
upon the subject were polled on the ques
ton, verdict would be rendered against
a contingent fee system. There are eases
in which, to the poor man, the system is
an advantage, but all such can be met by
the generous lawyer, and the poor should
90 to no others. Where the client is too
poor to pay the fee and still has good
case, there would be nothing, under re-
turn to the old system, TO prevent the at
torney serving the poor client either in
charity or upon credit, precisely as he does
for what can be made out of them,
IS breeder of litigation, and worse,
of black mail practices. 1t gives
class OF men foothold in the
profession or the law who ought
10 be kicked out of it without cere-
mony. 1t makes the practice OF the law
very largely speculation upon the posi-
bility of forcing defendants to settle,
rather than defend, where they have good
defense 1t substitutes the lawyer, very
often, for the litigant, and leads those not
morally we'll hraced into devices that lack
only detection to land the perpetrator in
prison. 1t puts legal privilege and legal
ability up as premiums for speculations,
and thus prostitutes Office and talent. 1t
tends to lengthen litigation and 10 pile mp
costs, and it encumbers the Court calen-
dars, so that one-half the tribunals in
the land are in chronic state of back
wardness with their business. The best
practice, the cleanest, that which calls
forth the highest ability Of the lawyer
and gives the best tone to his methods, is
that which does not make his reward de-
pendent upon his success. Ii is sad mis-
tale IN the part of clients when they
imagine that the honest, conscientious
LAWYER, proud of his calling and sensible
of the solemnity of his obligations, is
spurred to greater effort and more dill
gence because his fee may be dependent
upon his success. The St. Louis Globe
Denocrat has inaugurated debate upon this
question, and is evidently impressed with
the belief that there may be brought
about reform in this matter Of "encour-
aging" litigation

A PROPOSITION is before the State Board
of Agriculture. and is received with much
favor, for that body to further expand its
efforts to encourage the breeding of fine
horses by holding spring meeting ON the
society grounds in this city, beginning
next year. The idea is good one, and
we trust that it will be adopted. There
are not anywhere on the coast better train
ing grounds. Many of the best animals
are wintered here, and the spring season
finds the stables on the grounds pretty
well filled up. If at that time meeting
for blood horses is held under the direc-
ton of the society, a great many more
ANIMALS will be brought here for trial be-
fore shipment East or to local circuits.
The qualities OF colts can be tested at
these meetings more satisfactorily than
anywhere else, and the breeders of stock
will gladly avail of such meets The
scheme is feasible and ought to be pushed
in the stock interests, which we believe
are to be of more value to California than
the product of the bluegrass" region of
Kentucky has proved to that fortunate
State.

THE ninth annual report of the Golden
Gate kindergarten Association has been
sent from the press. Its President, Mrs.
Sarah B. Cooper, sets forth in the volume,
in detail, the gratifying progress of the
work. From the reports it is evident that
California friends of the kindergarten sys-
tenn for primary instruction and develop
ment have reason to be greatly encouraged.
Great good has been accomplished, the
public has been brought into closer and
more sympathetic relations with the kin
dergartens, and the pushing of the work
forward is less laborious, and engages more
voluntary helpers than ever before. The
report refers to the REcoRD-UNIoN in a
very kindly manner for the efforts put
forth by this journal to popularize the
kindergarten system, and to extend its
benefits to this city. The RECORD UNION
regrets that it could not have done more
than it has in those directions. Its advo-
cacy of the kindergarten scheme is due to
profound conviction that it is one of the
most potent and best-directed of human
instrumentalities for good, and not only
for the correct primary education of chill
dren, but for the amelioration of the thou
sands of neglected and unfortunate little
ones to whom society owes the duty OF en-
ploying all possible means to prevent them
from drifting into Incidence, wretchedness
and crime, and to make them self-helpful
and self-reliaut.

The German press complain that Ger
mans are not appreciated in this country,
which simply illustrates how ill-informed
is the German press concerning America.
1t may satisfy it, however, to learn that
Germans in this country, just as are all
other people, are appreciated at their full
value. And that is, in a word, that the
Germans in America are esteemed frugal,
industrious, sensible, law-abiding, good citi-
zens and as the stock for further excellent
citizenship. We trust them in offices of
the utmost Importance. They are numer-
Gus in our best business enterprises, ener-
getic in promoting the public welfare and
altogether liberal, intelligent and pro-
gressive class of citizens. If the German
press can get that much into its NOODLE it
will be better informed of the estimate, in
which we hold, in America, the people
who left Germany to enjoy the blessings
of better country.

JEFFERSON DAVIS is out in long let

pecially at this day, what were the inten-
tions of the Confederate chieftains in that
matter? 1t certainly possesses no historic
significance, since the intention" even il
entertained, was not involved in the issue
