1t is Of entirely new and novel de.
sign; the frame and net are wholly
concealed in the handle, making a
convenient parcel to carry, and can
be strapped up with the rod. The
handle is brass tube, nickel plated,
about 1916 inch in diameter bv two
teet long. The net frame is made of
highly tempered steel, which springs
into position when drawn from the
handle, and cannot collapse until
drawn back into the handle. Bv pull
ing on cap in one end of the handle,
frame and net appear ready for use.
by pulling on cap at reverse end of
handle, the net disappears within
the same. BY unclasping spring
catch from cap, drawing net frame
from handle, running end of chain
through buttonhole of coat and re.
fastening the cap, you have a net all
secure as used while wading streams.
1t requires but a second to open or
close the net, and but two seconds
to change it into wading net or the
reverse.

The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1895-09-10
Hill on Personal Liberty,

Senator Hill, in his speech at Eimira
last Saturday. laid down the issue upon
which the Empire state Democracy will
seek to capture the next legislature
He made long, ardent and scholarly
plea for personal liberty in those details
Of conduct for which each individual
Is morally responsible to nobody but
himself; and then twisted this proper
and reasonable argument into a de-
fence of the open violations OF the
Gotham excise law during the sway Of
Tammany. thus entirely neutralizing
the abstract merit of his forceful pro-
logue.
The senator charges that the meth
obs Of enforcement adopted by the
Roosevelt regime In New York city are
unusual, unfair and unpopular; that
they are adhered to through fondness
for notoriety and from a vain pleasure
In personal prominence; and that the
general effect of such an era Of thea
tric and arbitrary execution of one Sc
lected law. without the devotion Of uni
form attention and energy to all the
statutes against public nuisances and
nisdemeanors, is calculated rather to
bring the institutions of Justice into
public disrespect than to conserve the
forces of public order. This argument
is skilfully evolved and set forth with
ccnsummate cunning. Indeed, this lat
est speech Of Senator Hill impresses us
as being by far his cleverest and as a
bit of workmanship, his most effective.
But It Is difficult for us to see how,
In spite of his deft evasions of the real
issue, senator of the United States
can seriously quarrel with city official
for doing his obvious duty in executing
the plain Letter Of a newly-enacted and
therefore still vital statute. Let us
concede that, as contrasted with
Tammany's iaxity, the present
sharp and decisive methods Of en-
fOrcement are UNUSUAL" that among
violators of the excise law, they are
unpopular" and that the law itself,
as put upon the statute books by Tam
many influences. is structurally ''un-
fair'-let US admit. also, that because
of their zeal Mr.. Roosevelt and his off,
cial associates have become prominent
figures on the stage Of official activity,
overshsdo for Q time. even the
