THE SHELDON FAILURE.

The 'Sheldon week. of the Topeka
Daily Capital has come and gone.
Whatever else is to be learned from
the so-called Christian daily, it is
plain from the vast circulation that
there is very large number of the
public keenly interested in every
effort that is intended to make for
righteousness.
Apart from that, Mr.. Sheldon s
experiment in journalism has been a
failure, as it was bound to be from
the very nature of the case No man
can successfully revolutionize daily
newspaper in the course of single
week, and the Topeka Daily Capital
under Mr.. Sheldon's management was
a failure as newspaper, while as a
religious paper it fell far short of the
ordinary religious weeklies Except
as a passing curiosity the paper would
have found no readers, for it consisted
largely of dull moralizing, some of it
of the most common place description,
and of a rehash of socialistic litera-
ture gathered from many quarters
Mr.. Sheldon seems to have his own
ideas as to what Jesus would do if He
were a newspaper editor. and acts up
to them, though some things are hard
for an ordinary mortal to understand

in that city can fix roof? The adj

The whole paper abounds with

THE LAW OF THE ROAD.

|
In view of the fact that the automo
bile is just now prominently before
the public as a business and pleasure
vehicle it will be of interest to review
recent court decisions on the law o.
the road.
A street or a road is in law public
highway. and as such belongs to the
public and to all the citizens thereof
and all have the right to travel there
on by their own selected modes OF
conveyance, whether it be as foot pas
sengers, bicycle. OK team, fourth
hand or an automobile (Coombs V.
burlington, AZ Me-, 1872; Barker V.
Savage, 45 N. Y, 1876; Commonwealth
V. Temple, IA Gray, "a.
1t is now we'll settled that bicycle
is carriage, and as such has an equal
right to the road with all other car
riages, no more, no less. G4add v.
lien, Supreme Court, New Hampshire,
1891.
When a traveller goes upon the pub
lie roads the law presumes that his
carriage is in such good roadworthy
condition as to make it fit for the
journey which he undertakes, and if
by the neglect of the proper care
which prudent man would give to
his carriage or harness. it breaks and
thereby causes damage to an innocent
traveller the offender may be held to
answer in suit at law welsh V.
Lawrence, 2 Gritty, 1862.
The law has never yet undertaken
to restrain citizens from constructing
their private vehicles in the manner
best suited to the individual tastes, or
to give any form of private carriage
any rights or privileges superior to
those of any other form, provided the
form is not such as will injure the
roadway.
1t has even been held lawful to
operate a steam traction engine on
roadway, Notwithstanding it was
urged that horses had been frightened
by il.
The drivers of horses have no more
rights in streets or carriage ways than
those using the common modes of
and the mere frightening
of horses is neither actionable as a
tort nor complainable as a nuisance,
nor an obstruction which city officers
or public boards are accountable for.

Farland v. Brown, 1 Bicycling World,
27.)
To say that a new mode of passage
shall be banished from the street, no
matter how much the general good
may require it simply because streets
were not so used in the days of Black
stone, would hardly comport with the
and enlightenment of
the present age. Moses V. Pittsburg,

WHAT THE WORLD THINKS

In answer to correspondent, who
recently asked the New York World if
it was not too cocksure that the free
silver issue was dead, - that Demo-
cratic journal responded
Free coinage at is to 1 is dead
issue since the passage of the Gold
Standard law, for three reasons:
l. The Republican party is united
IN favor of sound money for the first
time in its history. The Colds Standard
bill passed the Senate finally by a
majority of eighteen. Every Republi-
can Senator save one voted for it
including eleven from the mining
camp and other far Western States

Senate over the next Presidential term.
preventing any disturbance of the set
Element which they have made, no
matter how the election may result.
3. Free-silver coinage cannot be
authorized unless and until the CHEAP
money men shall control at one and
the same time both houses of Congress
and the President.
This is something which they never
did, even at the height of the various
monetary delusions of the last thirty
years. With the world tendency all
the other way and the fallacy rejected
by the voters of this country in seven
successive elections, and now copper
fastened i'll its coffin by new law,
such conjunction is quite impossi-
BILE.
The question of the monetary
standard in this country is settled.
The only open question is, as The
World has said, which party will gel
the greater benefit from the settle

THE ENTERING WEDGE.

There is probably no doubt that the
voters of Hudson County will give
their assent to the law which provides
for the reduction of that county
Board of Freeholders to nine men,
bers, elected at large. Hudson will
then furnish an object lesson in coun-
ty government which the taxpayers of
other counties may study with deep
interest. If the change shall be fol-
lowed by the anticipated saving in ex-
pense and honesty in administration,
it is naturally to be expected that
other counties will not fail to follow
Hudson's example. But the success
of the experiment will depend alto
gether upon the character of the men
chosen to constitute the board. =

BRAVE MoLLIE PITCHER.

The Daughters of the Revolution
of New Jersey have very wisely de-
cided to erect a tablet on the site of
the old we'll whence heroic Mollie
Pitcher drew water during the battle
of Monmouth, June 80, 1779, which
she supplied to the battle begrimed
soldiers
History describes the fierceness of
the fight, but all through the heat of
the battle Mollie Pitcher, an Irish
woman, the wife of member of one
of the New Jersey artillery companies,
went fearlessly from place to place,
with bucket of cold water drawn
from this well, in her hand. Men
were falling all around her, bullets
were flying over her head, but she
never fiinched in what she believed to
be her duty.
Captain Mollie was of masculine
build and on the day of the battle she
wore one of the strangest costumes
ever worn by woman. 1t was a
thoroughly mongrel suit. The petit
coat was the property of her own sex.
but above it she wore an artilleryman' s
coat and on her head cooked hat
with feathers She was sturdy
woman, who looked much more than
her twenty three years, and her devo-
ton to her husband was typical of her
character as a native of the Emerald
Isle.
When the battle commenced the
young woman stood beside her hus-
band, who was cannonier. but she
soon left him to minister to the needs
of the men. Suddenly she saw her
husband, fall. A shot from the enemy
had killed him, at his post, and the
officer of the day. having no one
competent to fill the piece ordered it
removed from the field.
Mollie, who had dropped her buc-
ket to hurry to her husbands side
when he fell, heard this order In an
instant she was on her feet. The man
J lying dead upon the ground had
, taught her how to load and fire the
cannon, and, Selling the rammer,
she vowed that she would take his
place at the gun and avenge his
death
Captain Mollie kept her word, and
during the remainder of the battle she
stood beside her piece. performing
her duties with such skill and courage
that she attracted the attention Of
all the officers. The next morning
while still covered with blood and
dirt, General Greene introduced her
to General Washington, and the latter
not only conferred upon her a commits.

see that she was placed up on the list
of half-pay officers for life, promise

tain Mollie's last fight. She left
the army soon after it, and died near
Fort Montgomery among the Hudson
Highlands, few years after the close
of the war.
