Recently New Jersey Justice Of the Peace
threw out Of court n whcelmans suit for dam
ACES on the ground that bicycling on Sunday
was n pleasure. and, according to IN ancient
law illegal. So, Of course, the luckless rider
who met with grief the first day Of the
week had no redress. With this as a text. THE
New-York World remarks that "in the inter
"csts Of the State Of New Jersey and Of COM
"mon-sense, il is 10 be hoped that there will he
"a reversal Oh appeal Of the recent NewJerscy
decision that a bicycle rider cannot recover
damages for injuries received while riding on
SUNDAY. This decision OF n Hackensack Jus
"ico is based on an obsolete but unrepealcd
blue law. Inasmuch as the law antedates the
"invention Of the bicycle. It can be only a
strained Interpretation Of 1t which makes the
Sunday bicyclcr an outlaw without redress
for either accidental or malicious injury"
II happens that the decision was entirely I'M
warranted and had its origin in ignorance of
the law. The Legislature of 1893 enacted n
statute providing thus:
1T shall not be unlawful for any person or
corporation, on the Christian Sabbath, the
FIRST day Of the week. commonly called Sun
day, to print. publish and sell newspapers, to
sell and deliver milk or to walk. ride or

In the first quarter these important exports
have already risen about $1,000 ,000 above those
of last year, when the aggregate for the year
was the largest ever known. But they exceeded
by S37 100000 for the month and by S56.lOO,OOO
for the quarter those Of 1890, although In that
fiscal year also the aggregate was one rarely
equalled The time has not yet come for the
full movement of cotton in somewhat belated
season, but within week or two that branch
of exports will begin TO make enormous de-
mands upon foreign resources.
The total exports in September Of last year
were $S3 74636o against SJ7,0G3,SOS in 1890.
and S57 $40, 1877 in 1894 IF no increase should
appear except that now reported in the principal
classes, the aggregate for September this year
would reach $lo1, 100000. the largest ever
known In that month making the aggregate
for the quarter $253.O0O,0OO. This would be
sS1.0O0.0O0 more than In the first quarter Of
1891 95, and $50 100000 more than In the same
