An American Politician.

From the Springfield Republican.
Mr. Germans performance should not be
allowed to become ancient history without
A review of his remarkable record on the
money question during the past twelve
months. 1t is not a wild statement that
nothing surprising IT can be found in the
history of party politics.
Previous to the last campaign Mr.. Cor
man. according to the platforms adopted
by the Maryland Democracy. was a gold
man. In the convention that chose dele
gates to Chicago II was declared not only
that I'VE re~soIutely oppose the free and IN
limited coinage Of silver at the ratio of Is
to l." but also that I'VE favor the main
tenance of the existing gold standard Of
value" That was Mr.. German before Bry-
an was nominated. Then he repudiated
his gold STANDARD views and strenuously
advocated the plunge TO a silver basis.
Hardly a year has passed. and now he be-
gins anew with some deft word painting
about the equality of both metals before
the law. Within twelve months. therefore,
the senator has Endorsed everything and re-
pudiated everything. He has stood on his
feet, he has stood on his head, and now he
passes the hat while resting comfortably
on his middle.
The elasticity of some mems convictions
can never be known until put to the test.
No one doubted that Mr.. German was agile,

Interesting Bicycle Law.

From the Chicago Post.
A decision which every member of the
great bicycling fraternity will read with
interest and satisfaction has recently been
rendered by a judge of the supreme court
of New York. The view taken on the es-
sential point at issue comedies with that
of right reason, hence there is ground for
believing that the court OF appeals will
sustain it.
1t appears that a wheelman who had an
accident insurance policy was badly in
iured by falling from his bicycle. He was
disabled and prevented from pursuing his
ordinary occupation for over a year. His
contract with the insurance company. as
set forth in the policy. provided for the
m of $40 a week during any illness
caused by any accident. There WERE. how
ever, two conditions limiting the right to
this compensation. One bound the insured
10 submit the question Of the amount Of
damages to arbitration IN the event of a
disagreement with the company. The sec
ond ard important condition was that il
the policy holder should be injured while
engaged temporarily in any occupation or
exposure Of an extra hazardous nature he
should be entitled to a lower rate of in
demnity, specially fixed for extra hazard
Gus employments.
The company resisted the holders claim
on these grounds and suit was brought.
Justice Davy has ruled for the plaintiff on
both points. The agreement for arbitrating
the question Of damages, he declared, in
the opinion. while perfectly valid. did not
e~xtinguish the right of appealing or in
voking the aid of the courts. We do not
quite grasp the courts meaning on this
point. 1t was certainly competent for the
parties to make the submission to arbitra-
ton a condition precedent to legal recovery.
and If this condition was explicitly laid
down. the failure to observe IL undoubtedly
did e%xtinguish the right of invoking the
aid of the law. OF course. II the provision
was a mere side stipulation. and not a con-
dition precedent, the courts ruling is sound
and in accordance with precedent.
In regard to the question Of extra haz-
ard. the court held that bicycling as prac-
ticed by the average citizen is no occupa-
ton at all. but a pleasurable pastime. and
A reference in a policy TO extra hazardous
occupations cannot he deemed applicable
TO ordinary cycling. Even where bicycling
Is specifically named along with baseball,
football. polo and other games, II must be
construed to refer to professional bicyclists
who make their living by racing on their
wheels. True. the contract speaks OF Eek
posure' as well as occupation" in the
extra hazard clause, but the court rules,
as a matter OF law. that wheeling for
pleasure is not an extra hazardous expos
ure in this age Of universal use OF the
wheel by men. women and children.
Commercial law was the product OF COM
merciaI necessities and conditions. Bicycle
law must similarly follow practice and
usage. It would be anachronistic to class
with extra hazardous exposures.
and Justice Davy merely accepted the gen.
eral verdict of mankind.

The Crime of o

From the New York Sun.
Our esteemed contemporary. the New
York Times. has discovered a new enormi-
ty of the Dingley tariff. and thus unveils
ii TO a shrinking world:
"A duty on coal is a national blunder
an economic crime. Our supply of coal
may last 200 years. It may last a thousand
years. But II will last longer II we allow
foreign coal to come in freely At points like
San Francisco, where its importation is
commercially possible
1t is true that, with the cautiousness OF
science. the Geikie Of the Times postpones
the coalless day from two hundred to q
thousand years. He might have postponed
II even longer. as nobody except himself
knows how much coal is still hidden in the
bowels of the earth or can tell where a
vein may dip and reappear. But we have
no disposition TO inquire too searchingly
into the credentials Of a seer or TO yank his
robe from his shoulders because Of some
trivial pickering over a matter Of a thou
sand years or so. "A duty on coal is a
national blunder. an economic crime" If
il were SO. it were a g]rievOus fault, and
what shall be done to amend it?
It seems clear that congress at its next
session should pass a joint resolution Of
apology to posterity, and amend the tariff
by a proviso that nothing in this act
shall prevent posterity from putting coal
upon the free list. if posterity feels so in
clined.' No good man would Willingly
cause any inconvenience TO posterity. To
be sure. there may be coal enough to
stoke posterity sufficiently. Or il may hap
pen that posterity will find some cheap
and effective substitute for coal and will
look upon coal as a coarse and useless sub
stance which the primitive ages thought
so much of as to take preat pains and
incur much CRIME in bringing IL to light
Posterity will he sure to have all the i'm
p~rovements, and may be too busy in its
discoveries and enjoyments to forget the
national blunder and economic crime of a
duty on goal
Still. II fs sansoling to the excited imag-
ination to know that there are protesting
hands raised against the blunder and the
crime. Fol the noble purpose Of saving
coal for posterity the Times Posterity and
Coal Supply Self-Denying League will
soon be formed. The members will be
pledged to eat cold food at least once a
day.

.The Litigant, Out of Court.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Mark Twain proposed some time ago to
start a crusade against the insolence Of
menials and the -encroachments upon indi-
viduaI rights by corporations or servants
He must have mourned the death in En-
gland the other day of Rev. William Jen-
kins. rector of FTllingham, Lincolnshire.
Jenkins was a man after Marks own heart.
He had during his whole life carried out
the principles which the novelist adyocat-
ed. He was known in London by every
cabman and tramway conductor. for ne
was a terror to all who tried to extort from
him more than the law allowed. He never
went abroad without a copy Of the acts OF
parliament. from which he e~xpounded the
law to those who tried to get more than
their share. He knew to a penny what
the legal fare to various parts Of the city
was. and he was versed in all municipal
regulations. II the cabbies tried to gouge
him. as they frequently did. he hauled them
before a MAGISTRATE and insisted that the
law deal with them. He became the terror
of all drivers in London. and gained the
sobriuuet OF "the litigant." He compelled
the railways TO provide everything which
the law demanded and to grant every priv
iiege which their charter called for Many
considered him a very disagreeable person
by reason OF his sturdy insistence in his
rights, but he is responsible for many ac-
c-ommodations being granted to travellers
and citizens generally which would never
have been granted II II had not been for
his severe sense of justice. The fact that
he died of liver complaint is said by the
London newspapers to explain much. but
his irregular liver has done a great deal
for his fellow citizens.

THE SPELL BROKEN.

The remarkable heat of the past few days
has been broken, even If the temperature
has not been radically reduced. The heavy
rainfall of Tuesday and Wednesday, which
covered a large territory, where it was
needed to revive both the crops and the
people. was a most grateful relief.
The West has been unusually fortunate
this year. Indeed. the good things have
been so abundant that a few weeks of
uncomfortably hot weather can be endured
without serious complaint.
With the greatest yield Of wheat the
country has ever known, and relatively the
highest prices for the product; with a year
OF special abundance in fruits and vegeta-
bles, and with general business improve
ment, it seemed for a few days that there
was 20 be a compromise In the great crop
and business festival by the burning up
Of the corn. This catastrophe was averted.
however, by the timely rains, and there
is no longer anything TO prevent a well
rounded harvest, the most abundant in
years, bringing riches TO the farmers and
prosperity to the cities.
