To Henry VIII belongs tire honor of
having conferred judicial rights upon a
woman. Lady Anne Berkeley of York
was allowed by the sovereign, who had
the widest experience of the virtues of
women, to sit as a judge, appoint COM

some men who had been killing her deer
and despoiling her park. The sentence
is not recorded. but the fact remains
that at least one woman has exercised ju-

An Unique Operation.

An unique surgical operation was
performed upon Mrs. Michael Brod-
erick. residing on Twenty-frst street
and Third avenue, yesterday by Drs.
Carter and Craig, assisted by Daven-
port physicians. About two months
ago while chopping wood in the yard
Mrs. Broderick was seized with 4
pain. much like cramp, in one of
her limbs, and was unable to use it..
She was carried into her home and
has not been able to stand since. In
the operation yesterday, a small
bone under the knee-cap was found
to be diseased, and this was removed.
1t is now hoped that Mrs. Broderick
will regain the use of her limb.

Migratory fish are Matched and partly

grow in the sea, but they are never
caught there, so that their protection

making them a salable commodity. Be

Il recent report to the local govern
ment board of England:
OF every 1000 unvaccinated chill
dren under 10. 101 had small poX; of
every 900 vaccinated children under
10. five had small pDX. In other
words. unyaccinated children are %
times more liable to an attack of
small poE than those who have been
vaccinatcd. OF every 1000 unvac-
cinated persons over 10. - had small

vaccinatad persons, over 10 years Of
age. are i've times more liable to take
small p)X than vaCcinatcd OF the
same class. OF every 100 unvaccIn-
ated children who took small poN. A
died; of every 100 vaccinated chill
dren who took small poN. two died.
An unvaccinated child under 10, i
20 times more liable to take small
pox. anC - times more liable to die,
and its chance of death Is 40 times
greater than that of vaccinated
child. of every 100 unvaccinated
persons over 10 who took small poN.
81 died; of every 100 yaccinated per
sons over 10 who took small poX, five
died. An unvaccinated person, over

while his liability to death during an
epidemic is 80 times greater.

sCRAPE OFF THE BARNACLEs.

No person who cares to keep himself
even casually we'll informed but knows
that the prohibition of American pork
enforced by France and Germany was a
protectionist move, pure and simple, in
the Interests of the agriculturists and
in pursuance of BIsMARCK's protective
policy. The plea that our pork was in
tested with trichin8, and that the
health of the people was the end sought
to be attained by the inhibition, was a.
mere subterfuge to cover the real pur-
pose. 1t was to force them to show
their hand that this country adopted
the meat inspection system; and it
served its only purpose except that
other one, so dear TO practical politi-
clans, of making places whose emolu-
ments would compensate their workers
for their partisan activities.
1t has served its purpose. and can be
abolished entirely as useless and ex-
pensive Institution. With the fall of
BISMARCK and the rise of CAPRIvI and
the young kaiser came a reversal of the
protective policy of BISMARCK which
was shown in the removal of the pro-
hibition of pork, and more signally in
the reciprocal trade treaties negotiated
with neighboring nations. AS far as is in
his power Secretary MORTON. ap-
preciating the uselessness of inSpec-
ton, is reducing its work and expenses,
and the country will wish him god
speed. This will elicit snarls and
grOwls, OF course; but the secretary will
hard" be deferred from doing what he
considers his duty by that.

THE MISTAKES OF MIR. BLAND

Mr.. BLAND, of Missouri, is man of
one idea. For fifteen years he has sat
in congress, and his name is only asso-
ciated with the Introduction of infect
ual bills to compel the government to
prevent the price of silver from falling.
Mr.. BLAND poses as Democrat. 1t is
possible that he sincerely thinks that he
is Democrat. On the tariff and some
minor questions he has voted in a man.
ner to indicate that he may understand
what Democracy in government is, but
his efforts in behalf Of silver values
show that his Democracy is of that
kind that comes from heredity, associa-
ton or environment, and Is not the
product of a succinet grasp Of its under
lying principles. This remark applies
to others besides Mr.. BLAND.
Mr.. BLAND's mistake is in not sens
ing the Fundamental principle of Dem
ocracy that 1t is no function of govern
mentto attempt to fix, regulate or control
the prices or values Of anything which
is the product of human labor. Dem
ocracy asserts this principle because it
is just to all, and because such efforts

principle because there is no logical
limit to the objects to which it may be
applied or its application attempted.
Silver, like gold and wheat and pork,
| is commodity only. 1t is the product
of labor devoted to supplying demand.
Its value, like all the others, depends
on the supply which labor can produce
and the demand for it. As commodity
| it finds use in thousand directions. 1t
