The banana peel accident is becoming 80 fire.
qrent and the broken limbs and bruised per-
sons attributable to it are increasing at such a
rate that IN order to remedy the evil police
ordinance might well be put into effect making
it punishable offense TO throw banana peels
on the street or sidewalks, and such an
ordinance should be followed closely by few
arrests and fines for violation. All that is
necessary is to impress upon the minds of care
less and thoughtless people that it is an offense
against the law to infiict bodily injury upon an
other carelessly or otherwise. One or two ar
rests and the banana peel thrower will organize
watch on the rind and prevent further acct
dents.

Our Esteemed contemporary, the Congress
sional Record, has finally struck the path of
progress and the issue of yesterday Che LAST
contains a number Of full-page cuts illustrat-
ing Gen. Wheeler's speech on drivers and
Hsrbors." Naturally the topic is not one to
produce sensational results through illustra-
ton and the artist has not exceeded his sub
ject It is unfortunate for the truth and
clearer development Of history that the
Record had not begun its sketches several weeks
ago, when the subject matter, in the House at
least, was much meatier and the genius and
skill Of the artist could have found a wider
field Of expression. What is past is past, but
there is a session yet remaining, with Mr.
Reed in the chair and the minority as demo-
cratic as usual and the Record may still redeem
itself

The International Literary Congress in Lon
don has thanks for the friends of international
copyright in America, but not much hope of
anything being soon accomplished. The view
of Count Kerstry is more hopeful He told the
congress that a fresh bill would be discussed in
December and would pass. The difficulties in
the way are increased by a short session, but
they may not be insuperable. The STAR feels
that IL the United States Congress Is wise in its
day and generation it will pass the bill in ques-
ton as an act Of justice and honesty.

The heroes are not all in gilded life, on field

The decision of contested elections by the
American mode is apt to leave a sting and work
N injury in the repetition of Whatever evil
may attend the decision These decisions have
been so frequently in accordance with the bias
Of the party in control that large portion Of
she public seems to expect nothing else. There
. perhaps nothing singular in the expectation,
10 matter what party is responsible for the
1scision. Party feeling Is often high and it
always exists The very best men are under
its sway. Perhaps it is impossible to be eman-
sipssed wholly from its thrall. If possible in
srepubIic it would not be desirable for the
sitizen to be free from prediction in favor Of
ZONE party. And the prejudice that exists in
Sther respects is apt to exist in the matter of
deciding upon the right of a member to a seat
in Congress. 1t is not proper feeling never
70 consider the merits of the case but to de-
tormine all points blindly in favor of ones
party. Il is but natural for an honest man to
study the outlines OF such cases and then to
give his own party the benefit OF such doubts
as remain after such examination. The English
Parliament does not decide it's election con-
tests. They are determined for it by the law
courts and there Is no complaint. so far as The
STAR is aware, that the decisions are regardep
with suspicion by the party which loses the
seat. 1t has been suggested many times that
the Congress Of the United States should fol-
low the English example. 10 this there is the
sufficient reply that the habits and thoughts OF
the two nations are now very different and that
the constitution of the courts is also very
different in the two countries. The American
courts are more political, that is they are con-
stituted by parties, but not as a rule-let US
say and hope-to be the implements of party.
Mr.. Bryce has done the federal courts of this
republic the high but deserved credit of as
sorting for them as a whole absolute inparti-
ality snd disinterestedness. The few excep-
tions he has indicated and has assigned rea-
sons for the same. There is, however, a GER
tain repugnance on the part of our people to
place the Judiciary in any position where its
candor and purity would be impeached or
strongly suspected. Hence, in spite Of the
evils of the present system, the decision Of
election contests is likely to long remain where
1t now is-with the houses of Congress.
