the people who are trying to earn an honest
living and are not concerned with wild
socialistic schemes for a division OF wealth,
would naturally rejoice over the speedy cir
culation among laboring classes of SO large
a sum of money. The ball in question may
be an ostentatious and vulgar display, but
there is no more direct means of getting
money into the hands of those ready to
earn it than by just such an entertainment.
Mrs. Bradley-Martin is probably not giving
it for benevolent purposes. but the money
spent by her and her friends on the occasion
will doubtless do more actual good than if
it were distributed free among people who
did nothing to earn it. 1t is not likely that
she would so distribute it if the ball were
not given, and DIR. Rainsford ought to re-
joice over the fact that it leaves her hands
for one cause if not for another, since the
result achieved is virtually the same.

There may be some ground for Justice

gard to the relative rights of shipmasters
and sailors, so far as principle is concerned.
but the law seems to be against him. 1t
is not a question of what our law on the
subject ought to be, but what it is. Some
of our maritime legislation is very anti
quated and not in touch with the spirit of
the age. 1t is based in a considerable de-
gree on the legislation of Great Britain,
where maritime contracts are enforced
with great rigor. Perhaps the law should
be amended, out that is not a question for
the courts to take cognizance of. In the
case before the Supreme Court it appeared
that the sailors who were arrested had
signed articlessand entered into a contract
to make a particular voyage. There does
not seem to be any great hardship in COM
pelling men to comply with a contract. To
use an inelegant but expressive phrase,
Justice Harlan seems to have gone off
