The Manhattan Elevated Railway Com
pany Of New York city is trying 10 have
twenty or thirty lawyers indicted for
champerty. According to the common law
champerty is "a bargain with the plaintiff
or defendant in any suit to have part of the
land, debt. or other thing sued for, if the
party that undertakes it prevails therein"
The Manhattan Elevated Railway Com
pany has never paid property owners
along its line damages for injuries their
property may have suffered from the pres
ence of the railway. There was good deal
Of litigation over the question whether the
railway was liable for damages to property
holders. The court Of appeals of the state
settled the questi several weeks ago. 1t
held that property owners could recover
whatever damages they could show they
had suffered.
A good many lawyers at once sought for
clients among the property owners They
agreed, for a percentage of the amount re-
covered, TO conduct the litigation and bear
all the expenses. This sort Of an agree
ment, the Manhattan company holds, is
champerty and it is endeavoring to have
the lawyers indicted for it.
1t seems, however, that there is no such
thing as champerty recognized in New
York. The statutes and decisions of that
state permit the lawyers to make just such
contracts as those which have been made
with the property owners along the line Of
the Manhattan railway.
The action Of the grand jury in the mat
ter is awaited with a good deal of interest
There does not seem to be much ground,
however, for thinking that the thrifty law
yers will be disturbed. They are not trying
to stir up litigation. They are aiming only
to reap a harvest from a decision that
leaves nothing but the amount of damages
to be settled. The prospect is that the rail-
way company will be a great deal poorer
when it gets through with these lawyers

Liberty Street.

The city ought to decide upon plan for
improving the unpaved part of the side
walks and the neutral ground on Liberty
street If nothing is done the street will
soon be in a very unsightly condition.
Every rain washes the soil into the street
and every wind raises clouds of dust.
The first thing to be doue is to lay brick
cutters in front of each house across the
unpaved portion of the sidewalks to carry
Off the storm water from the roofs. Either
the city or the property owners should do
this at once Gullies are being cut in the
soft soil by the rains, and pretty soon the
residents Of the street will wish it had not
been paved.
The improved parts Of the street ought
to be sodded or sown in grass. The strip
in the middle of the street and those on the
sides should be made beautiful with grass
and flowers. Liberty street can be made
into a beautiful avenue, and improvements
looking to that end should be inaugurated
at once

Hamlin on a Historic Scene.

From has Speech at q Chicago Banquet.
/ witnessed thissincident in the Senate, in
which Thomas Fl. Benton paye prominent
part: Senator Foote Of Mississippi had assaed
MIN violently daily until dr. Benton deliber-
ately arose one morning in the Senate and
declared that if the rules of the Senate were
not enforced by its presiding officer he would
take the rules into his own hands. He notified
the senator from Missss ppi that ''f he continues
MS personal assaults on myself, [ will take care
OF him myself Well, | was quietly writing
one morning when my ear told me that Foote
was pursuing precisely the same course of pro
ceedngs as h day before; the char Of Benton
on my left was thrown back with great violence
and he passed me in the area and went toward
Foote as though he had a purpose in his mind [
never doubted that he had Foote glided out
from his seat down amid the senators taking
from some part of his person a pistol and at
tempting to cock it. / suppose it was one of
that kind of pistols that had guard in the
rear, and he had forgotten to pull the guard
around, and couldn't cock it; but W en- lie was
passing down and trying to use the pistol Ben
ton literally tore his vest open and said: "Sena-
tors, stand aside and let the assassin shoot -
Well, the assassin finally reached the seat of
Daniel H. Dickinson of New York, who dis
armed him, and there was a cry all over the
Senate: No quarrelingi No quarreling!" Ben
ton had returned to his seat, and with the dig
nifty Of a Roman he said: Mr.. President

Some Of the republican organs suggest
that the habit OF presidential handshaking
shall be stopped. Probably taey made the
suggestion because President Harrison
seems to be failure as a handshaker. 1t
was stated the other day that at one Of his
receptions he extended his hand and allowed
visitors TO shake it as they filed by, while
he turned his head away and carried on a
conversation with friend at his side. II
the President doesn't improve on that, the
handshaking habit certainly ought to be
stopped.

Canada Of the New England states The
republicans happen 10 be in power just
now. II the bill had been introduced when
the democrats were in power, the republi-
can organs would probably have hurt
themselves laughing. 1t is queer how
these things blunt ones sense Of humor.

A Washington politician says that Presi-
dent Harrisons finances have run very low,
owing to the demads on his purse since he
was nominated, and that he is really
Strapped" As the President is now get
ting about $1,000 a week, however, he
ought to be able to supply his needs and TO
lay up nest egg besides; but unless the re-
publicans want TO save the $4,000 cleared
during the Inauguration exercises for vote
buying in 1892 they might give it to the
President.

He was formerly republican. but he voted
Tor Mr.. Cleveland. Except that he was a
republican, these things are quite credit
able to him. and they direct attention to the
wickedness of his uncle Whitelaw, who not
only is a republican, but is also a high pro-

burg who married the alleged Count di
Montercole, and afterward found out that
her husband was the gardener of the real
count, will probably go on the stage, hay

From Scribner's Magazine.
Vest erday is dead
And lies at rest.
No breathing stirs
The white-rCb d breast;
The groans and sobbing
Are hushed at last,
Thanks be to heaven,
Such pains are past.
Seek not to rouse
Its unquiet ghost;
COnjure no phantom
OF what is lost;
Come away softly.
And make no moan
Leaving thy persisted hope
Dead and alone.

Because he is a democrat and because he has

here this morning is destined to be here

Is an occasion Of undisguised qualification
to the 100000 members of the order
throughout the State and particularly to
Grand Master Lowrie. 1t was originally
decided to hold the thanksgiving festival
and commemoration week ago but j,
was subsequently though better to post
pone it until after holy week and toda.
was accordingly chosen as more accept
able date.
