Could Not Get Damages.

Some time ago Mrs. March G. Hinkley
filed SUIT against Turner b. Hungate, ask
ing damages in the sum of 1000 for an
assault upon her. Mrs. Hinkley filed a
complaint in two paragraphs, alleging that
on two different occasions Hungate had
come to her home during the absence of her
husband and made improper proposals to
to her. The first paragraph alleged that
Hungate had laid his hands upon her.
Yesterday Hungate's attorneys moved to
strike out the first paragraph of the CON-
plant. Judge Harper oyerruled the mo-
zion, but sustained q demurrer to the Sec
0nd paragraph. holding that an action for
damages could not be maintained for the
use of words merely.

The courtroom of the United States
Court was yesterday crowded with farm
ers who were interested in the trial of
the case of Charles p. Chisholm and others
against the Van Camp Packing Company.
The litigation involves the use of q newly
invented pea-harvester. which. it is said,
the defendant expected would make the
culture of peas very profitable. A great
many farmers were induced to plant a
large crop of peas. but, upon trial,
the machine was found untitled for
the work. and there were thousands
of dollars worth of peas lost. because the
crop could not be harvested. The Van
Camp Packing Company. then refused to
pay the royalty, which would amount to
5000. The company lntcrposed a set-oft
claim upon the score of damages for loss OF
business. The farmers who went heavily
into pea culture and who likewise lost. are
witnesses in the case.

Duties of our Coast Police.

In addition to feeding the hungry,
saving the imperiled and guiding the
lost, it is also the revenue cutters duty
to suppress mutinies, prevent smuggling,
enforce the neutrality laws and the
quarantine regulations, protect mer-
chant vessels from piratical attacks,
protect wrecked property and guard
the timber reserves of the United
States against depredations. The con-
slant and frequent inspection of the
vast fleet of merchant vessels that
trades along our coast forrnsa very i'm
portant duty Of the service, and one
which, if not, performed, would be fol-
lowed by a very general neglect OF the
customs and navigation laws
Even with the rigid and constant in
spections, from 1000 to. 1900 violations
are detected each year and reported to
the proper authorities. 1t is not alone
in the examination of the ships docu-
ments and the ascertaining that she has
no smuggled articles on board, that she
is engaged in the trade for which she is
licensed, that her marine documents are
in force, that her regularly authorized
captain is in command, ETC., that the
importance of the boarding duty is most
strikingly shown.-Scribner's.

chance to fool the country regarding the
attitude of their party toward
the free coinage of silver.
1t seems to US that as between the sill

are acting in much the more manly way.
They are ready and anxious to have the
attitude of their party disclosed to the

prevention of such disclosure.

The New Yorl, Bar Association has
petiioned the legislature to impeach
Judge Maynard, who distracted the
Duchess county returns from the office
of Secretary of State, and thus made the
Senate Democratic. Of course it is not
to be expected that the legislature will
respond favorably to the petition, but
the bars action will serve to show how
the people who have most to do with the
courts regard Maynard's elevation to the
bench.

THE DEMOCRATS AND FREE COIN
AGE.

DENlON1GA1S AMI OO1IN-
AGE.
The Democratic caucus on the silver
question came to naught. Each wing
was so doubtful of its strength that both
declined in advance to be bound by the
action of the caucus, and so the caucus
took no action. But though no formal
vote was taken the proceedings showed
beyond all reasonable doubt that a ma
jority of the Democratic members OF the
House are in favor of the free coinage of
silver. Indeed the opponents of free
coinage practically admitted that, since
all they dared to ask was postpone
ment of vote upon the question until
after the Presidential election. Had
they asked that free coinage be aban-
doned altogether they would have been
whipped out of their boots.
Confessedly the party is in such con-
dition that all the efforts of it's members
who are friendly to sound money are ex-
erted to keep its opinions concealed as
much as possible. What they say prac-
tically is this: ''We know that majority
z the party are for the free coinage of
silver and If the question is presented to
them directly they will vote for it. Such
action would in our opinion put in jeop-
ardy, if not absolutely destroy, the
chances of the. party to carry the next
Presidential election. We therefore ap-
peal to the majority to let the question
90 over until the next session of Congress
so that the country will not have abso-
lutte proof of the party's views on this
question, and so that we may be able to
argue to our hard money friends in the
East that the party is not committed to
free coinage" In short what the hard

There are two sections of the registrd-
tion,la which should be called to public
attention at this time. They are as fol-
lows:
SECT. 10, Any person who shall cause his
name to be placed upon the list OF voters OF
election or shall cause his name to be placed
upon such lists of voters in any ward knowing
he is not qualified elector therein for the elee-
ton for which the said lists made, or who shall
falsely personate any legal voter, or any person
causing any such act or aiding or abettlng any,
person in any manner in either OF said acts snail
be deemed guilty of an offense and punish he'd by
more than one year.
SECT. IA. Any qualified elcctor in any city
NAV challenge the right of any person to vote
in any ward at any election and he shall be
given the opportunity by the warden of such
ward to make such challenge and the warden OF
such ward shall make a minute OF the fact Of
such challenge upon the voting list OF such
ward.
There will be little occasion, we inn
agine, for application of the first of the
above sections in this city. Elections in
Portland have generally been remarka-
bly, free from any of the frauds described
in it, and there is no reason to believe
that any will be attempted this spring.
But it may happen that names may get
on the list that do not belong there, with
out any intentional fraud, and people
may try to vote who really have no right
to, believing that they have such right.
Under Section IA it will be seen that any
voter may call attention to such cases by
challenge and have them investigated.
Challenges have generally been regarded
as outside the law but the new statute dis
tinctly recognizes them and practically
makes it the duty of persons who may be
aware of any illegality to make them.
