trated when one analyses the desperate
claim that tariff on island goods is ne
cessary to prevent the United States from
being flooded with cheap products. and the
American laboring man from being smoth-
cred under the competition of tropical
cheap labor. If free trade with Porto Rico
means such dreadful things, why in the
name OF sanity has a bill just passed the
Senate providing for absolute free trade
with Hawaii? Hawaii Is tropical and It IS
full OF japanese and Chinese coolies, who
supply the cheapest labor in the world
Does Senator Hanna maintain that the

fear from free trade with Hawaii while
free trade with Porto Rico would mean
his ruin? Come, MIR. Hanna, treat the

hazy. There are different manners of

as vote-persuaders; in Indiana voters are
separated into blocks of five arid per-
suaded with 81 bills; in Pennsylvania they

them regularly; in New York they colon

Eight years ago Mr.. Cramp, the ship
builder, wrote in an article in the North
American Review, that he could build a
ship that would do the work of the Ma
jestic, or the City of New York. in all re-
spects. for the same cost,-oR. within as
small a margin as would be likely to pre-
vail In similar case between any two
British shipyards. According to the data
collected by the Commissioner of Naviga-
ton, quoted by the New York Journal of
Commerce, the cost Of building a first
class steamer in an American yard has
been reduced 20 per cent. in the last eight
years. During those years, it would seem
that our ability to compete with Europe
must have been increased considerably.
Nevertheless Mr.. Cramp, who favors the
passage of the ship subsidy bill, was quot
ed recently as saying that it cost Is to %
per cent. more to build ship in this
country than it does in England. There
seems to be a discrepancy somewhere.

WHERE A PHYSICIAN PROMISED
A SPECIALIST THAT 1T HE
WOULD CURE HIM HE WOULD
EITHER GIVE HIM A CERTIFI-
CATE AS TO HIS SKILL, OR PAY
HIM $4,000. THE SPECIALIST
COULD RECOVER THE MONEY
1T. AFTER AFFECTING A CURE,
TIE CERTIFICATE WAS RE
FUSED.
This was a suit upon contract.
From n Judgment for defendant the
plaintiff appealed.
DR. Johnston. q. physician, who had u
sore upon his face, called on DIR. Bur-
COON, of whom he had heard as q
specialist. to be treated, and they
agreed that IL Il cure was affected Bur-
COON was TO have IL certificate from
Johnston OF his skill and efficiency as Il
specialist in the reatment OF tho trou-
bic from which Johnston was suffering
or $4,000 in cash. This was Dungeons
version of the contract. The court in
structed the jury that the $4,000 was
penalty and could not be recovered.
The court says:
Assuming this Dungeons version of
the contracO to be true. did the court
properly instruct the jury? If this sum
is to he considered as a. penalty, the
instruction was correct. Upon no ques-
ton have courts doubted and differed
more than in determining whether the
terms OF n contract make Il stipulated
sum n penalty or liQuidated damages
No definite rule to dterminc the Ques-
ton has been established, each case be-
ing determined more in direct reference
to it's own facts than TO any general
rule
Johnston was n physician, and appar-
entity, not having been able to heal him
self. sought BurGOon. thriftingly in
curing what the lattcr's charge would
be. Burgcon testiiics that 1t would be

dcmurred to giving the certificate, ask

and n cure effected. Considering the
subject matter and surroundings OF the
ease before us. as we must, and bear
ing constantly in mind that the intent
ot the parties Is the principal object of
ascef3ainment, we arc not pcrpleXcd as
10 what we ought to do with this np-
peal. Johnston was himself IL physi-
clan, seeking cure ut the hands of an
other. lie was not the ordinary patient
ealing upon specialist, but n mem
Der himself of the medical profession.
Knowing, according to his own testi-
mony. what his trouble was. and pre-
suned to know what would he n proper
charge for the services TO he rendered
what he himself might ashland. no
matter what our Judgment might he
under different conditions. we cannot
approve of the view of the court hollow
that the $4,000 was penalty. If Bur

January ., 1900
AN ELECTRIC LIGHT COMPANY 1s
LIARIE FOR INJURY TO 4 BOY
WHO WAS LAWFULLY ENGAGED
ABOUT y HOUSE. CAUSED BY
a WIRE BROUGHT WITHIN a
FEW INCHES OF TIE HOUSE
AND DEFEGrIVELY INSULATED
This was an action for Injuries
caused defective electric wire. The
court directed Judgment for defend
-2hl--and- plainLiW- annealed
The plaintiff. n boy. was engaged i'm
cleaning off a roof over a store win
dow and came in contact with nm elnc-
trio wire placed within n few inches
o. said roof by the company, which wire
was effectively insulated, and he was
injured.
The court says:
outside of any contractual relation
between the parties to this suit. the
very nature of the business conducted
by the appellee imposed upon IL a legal
duty towards every person who. in the
exercise of lawful occupation in n
place where he had Il legal right To he.
was liable to come in contact with the
wires charged with this invisible and
deadly power. AS applied to the man
agcment by the appellee of its wires
charged with the high-tension current.
this legal duty would require it to see
that it's wires. when strung where per-
sons were liable to come in contact with
them, were properly placed with refer
ence to the safety OF such persons. and
were properly insulated
In the case at bar the boy was en-
gagged in 4 lawful occupation ut a place
where he was entitled to be when he
was injured, and there is no evidence
showing Il want of care on his part. If
his own evidence is to be believed. the
injury would not have occurred If the
wires of the appellee had been properly
insulated or if the high-tension cur
rent had not been brought so near the
house. We think the case presented
such strong prima facie evidence OF
negligence on the part of the appellee
that it should not have been taken
from the jury. Reversed
