NEW ENGLAND BANK CURRENCY.
The Reform Club has just issued New En-
gland Bank Currency redemption
developments" as No. 10 of its "Sound Cur
rency" series As its name implies, IL is a con-
densed but exhaustive review of the experience
Of the New England Colonies and States in
bank-note currency, from the earliest times
until the establishment of the National Bank
system.
This summary is not merely valuable from
the great variety ana wide range OF expert
ence covered; but specially so for its full ac-
count Of the natural development under busi-
ness exigencies Of the volunteer system OF
bank-note redemption, which not merely
made New England pre-eminent, but gave
her bankers an advantage over those of the
rest of the states.
Not merely is the Suffolk Bank system
fully treated, but there are also noted the cir
cumstances which led TO its adoption, and the
rival plan, copying its methods, which was
put into operation Just before the war.
In a sense the pamphlet may be said TO be a
history of bank-note development. After all
allowance is made the showing is n most
creditable one for the New England States,
and especially for the banks of Boston, 20
whose enterprise and tact the Suffolk Bank
system owed its origin.

Rights of Bicycle Riderr-

who were themselves put to fright and
danger by the fright of their horses to
bear for the time being no good will for
the novel vehicle, but now that horses
pretty generally have become accustom-
ed to the noiseless wheel there would an
pear to be no longer any reason why
drivers should prosecute riders of the
wheel. But there are always . few

their opinions and never forget their
spite.

rested and held to bail to answer at the
county court. And now we notice that
two suits have been brought in the su-
preme court for damages-one against
person who carelessly left some plank in
the roadway opposite his premises,
against which wheelman collided in
the dark and was badly injured, and an
other by gentleman who while riding
on the streets Of Bloomfield was run
down by vehicle and seriously injured.
In both these cases damages were laid at
5000. and the suits are brought as well
to test the rights Of the bicycle rider to
the common use Of the highway as to
redress their own private injuries.
These are said to be the first bicycle
cases ever begun in the supreme court
OF our state, and their decision will
probably mark new era In the history
