The Chicago woman's foot can't be kept
In the background. A Chicago young
woman has started on q roundabout rail
road trip by way of Portland, Or, San
Franoisoo, El Paso, City of Mexico, Laredo,
st. Louis, New York and Boston and
thence home. "without once putting her
foot to the ground"
The poor often have to suffer injustice
because they cannot hire lawyer. A law
dispensary has been establi shed at the
University of Pennsylvania, where poor
people may get legal advice and assistance
just as they get medical treatment and
medicine at the medical dispensaries. The
students of the law school are to do the
work and prepare cases, and leading attor-
neys will make the necessary appearances
In court.
Some people think something of their
rights. A consul general stationed at
Hanover engaged bsrths in q sleeping car
for himself and wife from Frankfort to
Hanover on the evening train. When he
arrived at the depot he found no sleeping
car attached to the train. He demanded
his money back. He was refused at the
ticket Office. After his arrival in Hanover
he wrote fer his sleeping car fare to the
deduction of cents. In addition he had
to pay one cent postage. He sued for
these cents, and received Judgment for
their recovery.
Some people have an idea that the
English are not gaining ground. but the
idea is a mistaken one. Great Britain is
now far In advance of Russia as far as re-
gards extent of possessions. The recent
partition of Africa has added 1000, geo
square miles (nominally at leasD to the
British possessions. At the end of 1892,
the British empire, including protector
ates, spread over 12,20S, 500 square miles,
while Russia, the next largest country, In
oluded only s,457. .2S9 square miles. It
may be remarked thatnesrly one-fourth of
the immense area of the British empire
has been added within the past five years.
The Salisbury government appropriated
more land than the whole area of the
United States.
A writer in the March Atlantic gives
this ingenious theory of the origin of the
word ''soedollager," which was current
some time ago. "Socdollager" was the
uneducated mans transportation of ''doIol-
oger," which was the familiar New Eng
land rendering of 'doxology." This was
the puritan term for the verse of ascrip-
tion used at the conclusion of every hymn,
like the "Gleris" at the end of ehanted
psalm. On doctrinsl grounds 1t was proper
for the whole congregation to join In the
singing, 30 that 1t became triumphant
winding up of the whole act of worship.
Thus 1t happened that "socdollsgern be-
came the term for anything which left
nothing else to follow: decisive or over
whelming finish, to which no reply was
possible.
Those who have been kicking themselves
because they didn't know what recogni-
tion is needn't do 1t any more. The Phil
osophicsl Review says: Recognition by
other oonsciousneesss, it may be freely sd-
mitted, is an all important test of trans
subjective reality. That whloh Is recog-
mixed by others certifes itself to me as an
objective or trans subjective fact, not q
subjective fancy. The recognition is de-
eisive ratio cognoscsndi of its Independent
existence, but, conversely, 1t is the eIis-
tence of trsns-subjecive reality that is
the ratio essendi of the recognition. That,
at any rate, Is the only hypothesis which
can be got to work with more than super
aoial plausibility. Because an independent
fact exists, everybody recognizes 1t; but
no multiplication of subjective recogni-
| tions can in themselves manufacture q real
| object in any other than Berkleian sense.
