the English law. which makes those rights
good. There was a young woman in Eng
land who told me that she and seven or
eight other young men had tramped IN
single file through a gentlemans dining
room one evening while he and his guests
were at dinner in order TO establish rlgnt
of way. The Englishman had built his
house on a meadow directly across a path
way that had been used for centuries, and
once year the young people OF the neigh
and up his stairs. and through his house,
In order that he should remember that the
right of way still existed. She was an ex-
ceedingly shy and well-bred young person,
and of family quite as old the right or
way, but IL apparently did not strike her
strangers house or indeed, that she was
doing anything but public duty. And the
interesting point of the story TO me was
that the English householder, instead or
getting Winchester and driving the young
treSpaSsers off of his lawn, should have
had so full an appreciation of their right
10 question his right that he simply bit his
lips and went to law about ii.
There was an Irishman in the same coun-
ty who lived in a small cottage on an es-
tate and who was in the habit of crossing
from ii to another through the gateway
OF very distinguished and noble gentle
man. He had done this for twenty years,
and when the noble gentleman came into
some more money and hung two fine iron
gates between the posts, the Irish laborer
took croWDar and broke the hinges on
which they hung, and tramped over them
on his way. He was put in Jail for this for
month. at the end OF which time he went
after his crowbar and tore the gates down
again. When he had been in jail five times
in six months, the people round about took
up his case, and the right of way was de-
clared q just one, and the gates came down
forever. The Englishman will go further
than this-he will not only fight for his
rights, but he will fight for some other
mans rights; ne will go out of his road TO
tramp through gentleman's property, sim
ply because the people in the nelghborhoOd
are disputing for right of way with him. 1
heard of three young barristers when was
in London, who went on a walking tour,
and who laid out their route entirely with
the purpose in view of taking in all the
disputed rights of way in the counties
through they passed, and who cheerfuly
sacrificed themselves for the good of others
by forcing their way into houses and across
private grounds and by tearing down
hedges.

THE RIGHT OF WAY.
EngIishmen VIII Not Submit to I'm
position, but Fight for Their Rights.

Richard Harding Davis, IN harpers weekly.
This is a true story, and one that is in
tended TO illustrate n characteristic of the
English people. Ii shows | think, to what
lengths an Englishman will go 10 gain his
rights when an American would say. "Oh,
what is the uSe?' or, Never mind" one
Of the reasons England is such a comfort
able place in which live is due 10 the fact
that the English people have this peculiar
habit of fighting for their rights, by letters
to the Times. or by taking the numbers of
cabmen and policemen and appearing
against them in the morning. or by sending
war ships into strange harbors where the
window-pancs of some English merchants
have been smashed If there were elevated
roads in London the clerk who lives In
Kensington would not hang and swing from
"A strap on his way 20 and from the city.
He would see that he was given the seat
for which he had paid. The American is
too busy and too gOOd-natured TO fight for
his rights. 50 he continues 10 stand from
Rector street 70 Harlem. and TO walk over
uDcIean streets. and sees the beautiful green
park at the Battery taken from him and
turned into a railroad terminus. He will
learn i'm time. that the reason the English
man has better roads and better streets
ard better protection for his life and prop
ertv is because he makes a kick about
it and protests and gTowls, and is geneT-
ally disacreeable until he gets what he
wants. Good nature is not always a virtue
ard sometimes the easy-going person is
very selfish one, too. Equally strong with
his desire 10 have his rights is the En-
glishnan's Difference Tor the rights OF 9TH

WALTER p. BROWNLOW.

EDITOR HERALD AND TRIBUNE no.
ted with pleasure the editorial copied
by you from n of your exchanges,
suggesting the candidacy of Mr.. Brown
low for Congress in this District.
The First District has several good
sticks of Republican Congressional
timber, but no one quite SO straight or
so peculiarly fitted for the place as
Walter P. Brownlow. In fact, for sew
eral years past, while an employee in
Washington, he has been a most efici-
ent agent and representative of the
people. His mode of accommodating
those who need assistance in Washing
ton is not that adopted by a large num-
Der OF Congressmen-allowing the bus
mess in question to lay over several
days, and then sending a note of re-
quest or inquiry by a clerk but he
goes at once to the department, and
what he fails to have accomplished is
beyond the reach of the test average
member of the House or Senate.
He is deservedly popular at all the
administration departments; and, when
elected in 1894, as he deserves to be, he
will take hold of the work as does the
old, efficient member, and he will moi
be treated or esteemed anywhere as q
new and inexperienced man.
His excellence will consist largely in
his ability and force in the committee
room. There, by the way, is the place
of real power in Congress. The mem,
Der who conceives the idea that his con
stituents can be best served by occa.
sionai howery speeches, is more than
half a failure. Representative work
that tells best is the organization OF
business in committees, and then push.
ing it well to the front.
do not know that he desires the of.
flee. He has generally manifested q
greater interest in harmonizing the
party, and in promoting the claims OF
others than pushing himself forward
for place and power.
One of his many acts of a public
character which has placed him prom,
nently before the people of the District,
was an order he secured constituting a
pension board of examiners in each
county of the District, to save disabled
applicants the expense and toll of long
travel GENERALLY on FOOT to the exist
ing few places for examination. Such
a change would have added but little,
if any, expense. The only special
change would have been that the fees
of examiners would have gone to a
large number of boards rather than to
some two or three. The real member
for the District, however, objected to
this order secured by the ''acting men,
Der" and caused it to be revoked.
When the First District is represented
by Walter P. Brownlow the people will
find many changes of a salutary char
acter, and will realize the fact that it's
Representative will be one of the most
active, efficient and sensible members
OF the House. OLD REPUBLICAN.

PENSIONS IN THE SOUTH.

Often, in some of the ultra Demo-
cratic papers of the country we see
statements to the effect that the pres
emit pension system is unjust to and a
burden upon the South; that they are
heavily taxed to help pay the pensions
OF ex-Federal Soldiers and the money
never comes back to them. That a
portion of the money paid by the
Southern States to the General Govern
ment goes toward paying pensions is
correct, none will dispute, but that
none of 1t comes back is not a fact; it
comes back in a multiplied degree and
Is a powerful factor in keeping the
wheel of business moving.
In the debate on the Pension bill
Representative Pickler of South Dakota
called the attention of the Southern
soldiers haters who were denouncing
the pension laws to a few figures
which rather surprised those individu-
ais. Soldier haters, both Southern
and Northern, have been in the habit
OF proclaiming loudly that pension
legislation is essentially sectional, and
that the money disbursed in pension
payments was expended almost alto
