AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

AN IMPORTANT DKCIsION.
 A decision which has just been made by the Supreme court of Pennsylvania shows that commercial agencies must be very careful how they deal with the credit and reputation of business men. A com- mercial agency in 8 printed book furnished its customers represented that a manufac- turing company had a paid up capital of six hnndred thousand dollars, whereas that was the amount of.vits authorized capital, while only twenty thousand had been paid in. On the faith of this representation firm sold the company bill of goods on credit, the amount of which they lost by reason of the company becoming insolvent. Thereupon they sued the agency for the recovery of their loss. It seems that the incorrect report of the standing of typographical error. The agency seeks to exempt itself from liability by this clause of tho agreement with it's subscribers: "That the said company shall not be liable for any loss or injury caused by tho neglect or other act of any officer or agent of the company in procuring, collecting and communicating said information; that tho said company does not guarantee the correctness of said infor- nation" But the Supreme court of Penn- sylvants is of the opinion that this stipala- tion provides for exemption from the negli- gencs of the officers and agents of the com pany, but not from its own. In this case the report made to the company by it's agent was correct; the blunder was in printing. 'It was certainly negligence on the part of the company to issue book containing such 8 gross error, and for this negligence the com- pany is liable."

ELECTION EXRENSES

The English election law provides that every candidate for parliament must appoint publicly on the day of his nomination one electien agent, and only one, and every six- pence expended on the election must be paid through that agent, who is bound after the election to make 8 faithful statement of all the expenditure incurred. Both the candi- date and his agent must solsmnly subscribe to the statement before a magistrate, and untruthfulness in the returns is subject to the same penalties that the ordinary law provides for" willfal and corrupt perjury. As the statement is published and closely sorutinized by political enemies false declara- tions are exceedingly dangerous.
 If a candidate is found guilty of making an unthruthful statement of his expenses he not only pays the penalty of perjury, but his election is void, he is declared incapable of ever being elected to parliament from the country or borough he has been contesting, no other constituency may elect him for seven years nor for that period may he vote or hold any public or judicial office.
 The New York ballot reform law which was patented after the English law provides that candidates must file statements of all their expenses. But how this will work was seen at the first trial of the law in the Albany municipal election the other day. The candidates simply stated that they had contributed such and such a round sum to the party committees and there was no means of compelling the committees to tell how they had spent the money. There ought to be, of course, re- quirement for all campaign committees to make sworn and itemized statement of their expenses. Entire publicity of expendi- ture in all particulars is absolutely necessary to the best results. The New York law also falls short of it's English model in not fixing . maximum limit to the legitimate expenses of candidates.

City goes over their proceedings with this result: A large part of the acts passed were legalizing acts, and each one of these was merely to correct a blunder of other law- makers; there were only fourteen bills all told of any importance passed, and of these one 'samounts to nothing," another was ''an adequate attempt to make better blunder- ing law of preceding legislature" two oth- CTS "are of very doubtful benefit to any body" and, the Gate City concludes, ''if in this way all the acts are looked at, it will be seen that parts of them are buncombe. most of them unimportant, and none of them nor all of them worth Q session of the legislature"
 Birds know something. An engine driver on;one of the Scotch lines reports that he has noticed that certain hawks of the merlin or "stone falcon" species make use of the pass- ing of the trains for predatory purposes. They fly close behind the train, near the ground, partly hidden by the smoke, but carefully watching for the small birds, which, frightened by the train as it rushes roaring past, fly up in bewildered shoals; the merlins then, while the little birds are thinking more of the train than of lurking foes, swoop on them from the ambush of the smoke and strike them down with ease. If they miss, they return to the wake of the carriages and resume their flight and their hunt. They can, it seems. easily keep pace with an ex- press train and outstrip it when they please. An interesting question concerning the duties of a policeman has just arisen in Air. drie, Scotland. A patrolman there found at o'clock in the morning the chief of police in state of wild drunkenness. As the chief remained deaf to all persuasion or remon- stranoe, and absolutely declined to abstain from any further assaults on the street lamps and house door-bells, his subordinate at length deemed it to be his duty to take him into custody; and he was conveyed to the police station with considerable difficulty. After his arrival there his conduct became 80 violent that the sergeant at the desk consid- cred it necessary to place him under restraint in cell, and accordingly entered charge of "drunk and disorderly conduct" against him. On the following day the superintendent was brought up before the magistrates and fined. But notwithstanding this judicial recognition of the well-founded nature of tho accusation, both the sergeant and the patrolman were subsequently, dismissed from the force by order of the town council, on the ground of ''insubordination. It was claimed that they had been guilty of "disobsdienee" and s'dis- respect" to their superior officer. A pretty fine point

Tho Prince of Wales's Daughters. Eugene Fields London letter to The Chicago News.l
 It YVES announced with considerable flour ish some time ago that the Duchess of Fife would be formally and officially presented to her royal grandma the queen at the drawing. room which was held in Buckingham palace last Friday afternoon. The drawing-room was given with great eclat, but the Duchess of Fife did not make her appearance. It now tranepires that she has @ mind of her own and does not intend to be buliied by her grandmother, who has always made it her amiable sons household. The Duchess of Fife is in position 10 do about as she pleases. Her husband is one of the richest men in the United Kingdom and he is im- mensely popular; the Duchess herself is one of the heirs to the throne-that is to say, there are but thres people between the l throne and herself-vix., the Prince of Wales, Prince Albert Victor and Prince
 George. So, therefore, the young Duchess doesn't have to ask any odds of anybody and she is the first one of the family to rebel against Grandma Victoria.
 The duchess rebelled when grandma de- cided that Prince Henry of Battenberg Che who married Beatrice)should take precedence l over the duchess at court. The duchess ! never liked Battenberg, and she gave it out cold ana nat that Sne, a5 an nelr GO tn6 crown, didn't intend to follow in the wake of the imported husband of her shrewish aunt. This announcement shocked and scandalized the queen, but she would not relent; so, instead of attending the drawing room, the duchess aounced off to horse fair and hobnobbed with lot of common people while the nobility and aristocracy
 were doing the grand at Buckingham palace.
 The Princess of Wales was to have pre-
 sented her daughter, and she had lovely
 gown made for the occasion. This gown
 was of rich shade of olive green Lyons vel
 vet, trimmed with magnificent Irish lace,
 over an inner petticoat of exquisite olive
 and gold brocade. The train, which was of
 the brocade, was edged with gold fringe and
 ostrich plumes.
 The two princesses, Victoria andNaud of
 Wales, are pretty and bright young women.
 Seeing the good time that their older sister
 (the Duchess of Fife) has had since her mar
 riage they are pining for husbands, and
 they make no bones of saying that they are
 weary of the restraint in which they are
 kept The Prince of Wales has insisted that
 his daughters should be reared in the strict-
 est simplicity, and the plainness of their at-
 tire has occasioned general remark. These
 girls seem to have Inherited much of that
 strength of character for which their
 grandmother is noted. Maud is particularly
 pretty.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Last year the postal telegraph in England put into the treasury @ surplus earning of $4s0, ,000.
 There is apparently.no veneration for age in Los Angeles. A man who is 101 years old has been arrested there for being drunk on his birthday.
 The Lincoln stories arc not all told yet. The latest runs that "once in an office in Springfield, they began to ohaff him about his excessive development in the matter of legs. Finally one person said: Well, now, Abe, how long do you think a mans legs ought to bev In other words they meant, no doubt, 'What is the ideal length of e mans legss" Ar. Lincoln replied, Well, I haven't, perhaps, considered the subject with all the attention which 1t demands; but I have thought that e mans legs ought to be long enough to reach from his body to the ground.'"
 Tho superficial area of tho British empire is slowly but appreciably extending on a section of the coast of the English channel. In one of the rooms of the Dungoness light- house there is an inscription setting forth that 1t was erected in tho year 1792, on . spot distant from the sea by 100 yards, in substitution for an older lighthouse that at this date stood 540 yards farther inland. When this older lighthouse was built 1t was on the marge of the sea. The existing structure, whose centenary will be celebrated next year but one, was, as the inscription sets forth, built 189 yards from the waters edge. It is now fully 500 yards distant and the sea is ever recedina.
 The idea of great national religious oele- bration to take place in 1899 was presented to meeting of Congregational ministers in Boston Monday. The plan Is to call together the leading religious thinkers of all the states of the Union to utter symposium on the theme: "The democratic religious prinoi- pie in government and education" The work of organization will begin at once, and will later be in the hands of central committss; meanwhile these Massachusetts ministers will seek to spread the idea throughout the nation: Rsvs. D. 0.
