NEWARK, July 20, 1S97.-Harry R.
Johns, OF No. IS Rector street, is nursing
a sore thumb, the result of an accident
which occurred last Friday night. The
victim had been in a dry goods store on
Broad street, in company with his brother
l.. Ray Johns. AS they stepped out of
the door Mr.. Johns raised his umbrella,
which Is of the steel rod variety. His
brother took his arm and they turned to
look at the window display. A large arc
light hung down in front of the store,
and as the men turned, the tip of the UNI
brella came in contact with the iron
framework of the arc lamp.
An electric current passed down the
steel rod and hurled Mr.. Johns to his
knees, while his brother was sent stagger-
ing across the sidewalk, he having re-
ceived the current as it passed through
the first victims body. In the instant OF
contact the electric fuid burned a deep
hole in Harry Johns right thumb, where
that member rested against he steel rod
of the umbrella.
II thought for an instant that / was
done for" said Mr. Jones, in telling of
the occurrence.

THE News" revelation yesterday of
the ~scoundrelly practices of a number of
individuals, calling themselves adjust
orrs," in respect to accident damage law
suits, gave great pleasure to all the re-
spectacle lawyers in the city, while 1t car
ried dismay into the ranks of the shy
sters. These 'adjusters" are only re-
moved one degree from common black
mailers. They prey upon both parties in
interest. Not only are corporations their
victims, but also the foolish people who
sign away their rights to them.
The Bar Association ought to take some
steps to have this traffic legally prohibit
ed. 1t is a disgrace to the legal profess
sion. The lawyers of the Consolidated
Traction Company ought, also, on the
trial of every damage suit, bring out the
status of the "adjuster' and his confeder-
ate slawyer.v and hold them both up to
public shame and for the guidance of the
jury In assessing damages.

PATRIOTISM FOR PLUMBER ONLY.

That patriotism which, according to Ursa
Major, Is the last refuge Of scoundrel is mar
yellously we'll exemplifed just now ir the Bo-
hemian capital The Slavs, especially the Young
Czechs, led by Gregr and Vasaty, have raised
the cry: "No German domination! Bohemia
for Bohemans"' They want the official use or
any language other than CZechish forbidden,
and they want Francis Joseph to he crowned
at Prague with the ancient crown Of Wences-
laus and Bohemia to be connected with Austria
only as Hungary Is All Of which makes a
brave show Of Patriotism, and might command
n certain degree OF sympathy throughout the
world II honestly urged.
But In what practical form Is the Czechish
demonstration Of Patriotism made? The daily
dispatches tell u.s. Resort Is had to violence
But It is not the heroic violence OF old. the ex-
pulsion Of offensive rulers, even the dropping OF
them from palace windows. No; but II takes
the form OF theft plumber loot. The Patriots
do not attack German officers. but German
shopkeepers They do not raid the Government
House. but jewellers shops II is a revolt not
to throw Off shc German yoke. but to steal Ger
man property. 1t may be inspired by Patriot
ism, but It Is Patriotism for plumber only.
This reproach is not TO be directed against
the Czechs OF Prague alone The Communist
mob OF Paris and the Socialist mob OF London
have been guilty OF the same practices. The
anti-draft mob in New-York n generation aga
did exactly the same thing; It ragged against
Government offices. II burned negroes asylums
and murdered negroes. but It devoted Its chief
energies to stealing from shops and houses for
the personal profit Of its members. That, In
deed IS the usual record Of the mob In every
land. and II Justihes the belief that plumber Is
the real object OF such outbreaks, and the pre-
tence Of Patriotism Is assumed merely n
mask for sordd crime.

S3S co. the United States, 81 to $50 TO- and the
German 81 to no less than $02 80. Taken IN
conjunction with the former statistics these
figures indicate that the foreign trade OF France
Is not large and Is conducted in great measure
In foreign ships; that Great Britain does vast
carrying trade for other nations; that the Unted
States is in some respects in the same condi-
ton as France, and that Germany is developing
an enormous foreign trade. largely in her own
ships. The Emperor could scarcely ask Tor
stronger argument for the prompt and ungrudg'
ing passage Of his Naval bill. AS for this couh-
try. the lesson OF the figures is equally obvious:
The need OF proceeding with equal zeal ana
enterprise in the works Of naval expansion ana
rehabilitation OF the mercantile marine. Ana
since the showing of Great Britain In these
tables is so conspicuously favorable from the
commercial point Of view. 1t Is well to bear I'D
mind that In her case trade has invariably
followed the flag. and that. as hitherto maze
clear In these columns. her enormous mercan-
tile fleet was created under far more extreme
system Of protection than the most ultra Amerl-
can Frotectionist ever ventured to propose
