In the death Of Isaac Pussy Gray the
State of Indiana and the field Of Amer.
lean politics lose a most familiar and
interesting figure. During a lifetime
which was filed with activity and use
full work, he held and discharged ac-
ceptably a number Of posts from which
he often seemed prepared to step into
the coveted office Of the Presidency.
His public career began with the civil
war, when he assumed command OF
one Of the Indiana regiments. After
tho war he became President of the
Indiana Senate, being elected as a Re
publican. 1t was not until seven years
after quitting the battlefield that he
Joined the Democratic party, In which
he figured SO pr Sinently. During
his terms in the GoS.eieorship Of Indi-
ana he acquired the prominence which
made him a presidential possibility"
but for some reason due either to the
man himself or the destiny which or
ders the affairs Of politics his career
never brought him higher than a State
position. 1t was in recognition Of good
and faithful services that President
Cleveland made him Minister to Mex.
leo. but it would seem that the limita.
tons of the man confined him to a ca.
reer In which he could do valuable
work as n State leader, but could not
break out Into the larger field Of ma
tioual politics

The worm has turned. The bitter he.
been bitten. Let the unusual fact be
duly recorded. A few days ago Farmer
John Sheffield, Of Manchester Cross
Roads, N. Y, received a mysterious cir
cular letter inviting him to 60 to New
York City and buy green goods" He
went. He was taken In tow by a green
goods" operator as soon as he reached
the town and was steered into a den in
an obscure hotel, where he met two
other men who had money to sell at
cut rates. These gentlemen showed
him $1,000 In crisp new bank notes, and
assured him that he could have tho
bundle for 5000 spot cash. Whereupon
Farmer Sheffield, while examining the
alleged counterfeits, hastily gathered in
the pile, planked down $500 in pay
ment and pocketed his purchase. The
three swindlers made a united rush
upon him, and In just ten seconds he
had pummeled all Of his assailants into
insensibility and sauntered out of thu
place humming, "This is the way ]
long have sought and mourned because
1 found 1t not" Farmer Sheffield re.
ported the occurrence to the New York
police, and is held to await the appear
.ance Of some me to lodge a complaint
against him. Let him go-and give him
medal for being the only man who
ever beat a gang of New York sharpers
at their own game. The Sheffield cur
rency game Is a daisy.

In one of It's latest decisions the Su-
preme Court declares that negligence
as a cause of action against a rail-
road company must be proven, and
that the finding Of the body Of a man
on the tracks does not create a pre-
sumption that he came there by reason
of the company's negligence. This
ruling will have a far-reaching effect
upon damage suits brought against
railroad companies for injuries re-
ceived on their property, The assump-
ton will be made that the tracks were
amply guarded, and the plaintiff will
be compelled to prove his point and
show by evidence that they were not.
1t is notorious that the law regarding
protection at railroad crossings Is con-
stantly and fagrantly violated. When,
however, the victim to this negligence
has been killed 1t becomes almost i'm
possible to bring witnesses to the fact
If violation at the particular time.
