NOVEL DEFENCE.
Set Up by Richmond Manufac-
turing Co. in a Damage Case.

A remarkable defence Is set up by the
suit brought by George Dion. a minor
OF II years of age. against it.
The case was before the appellate divi-
sion OF the supreme court today on the
companys demurrer to the plaintiffs IS
declaration.
Dion was injured at the defendants
manufacturing establishment by having
his hand caught in cog wheels. The
chief defence Of the company is that as
the employment OF Dion, who was under
the age OF IL, the limit of years that a
child can be employed i'm a manufacturing
or mercantile establishment, the relation
OF master and servant did not exist be-
tween the company and Dion. The en-
ployment being interdicted by law IT IS
asserted that the company cannot be held
liable for any such negligence as is
charged.
Counsel for the plaintiff argue that
having declared on the relation of master
and servant TO allow the defendant. who
was the prime mover In inducing and
procuring the plaintiff 10 enter into this
supposed relationship. and i'm allowing
him to act under Il up 20 and at the time
OF the accident. Is. in effect To allow the
defendant 10 set up the plaintiffs trans
gression of the law as a defence. A party
who violates the law is held not to put
himself on that account at the mercy
OF others.

GATES AND THE L. q n.

1t may be that John w. Gates and
his friends wanted the control of the
Louisville and Nashville Railway and
for that reason bought it, but there is
ground for thinking that their purpose
in purchasing a majority of the roads
shares was to sell it to some one of
the competing systems, most likely the
Southern. They did not take into ac-
count. in all probability, the fact that
there was a suit by the government
pending against the Northern Securi-
ties Company for attempting to merge
the Northern Pacific and Great North :
ern Railways, and that therefore it
would be a rather risky undertaking to
merge the Southern and the Louisville
and Nashville systems.
If neither the Southern nor any other
system should want the property Mr..
Gates and his friends might find they
have not obtained such a bargain. 1t
is doubtless true that the Louisville
and Nashville is fine property, and
If times continue good will pay five per
cent. dividends on its stock 1t is said
that last year it actually earned seven
per cent. Good times are not likely to
last forever, however, and it is proba-
bile that Gates and his friends have
paid full value for their shares.
We have insisted all along that the
Southern was not buying shares of
the Louisville and Nashville, and it
turns out that it wasn't. j. p Morgan
&c Co, the supposed dominating infiu-
ces in the Southern, was asked to be-
come the trustee of the Gates holdings,
in order to prevent a corner in the
stock, and consequent financial disturb
ance in Wall street. That is all the
connection the Southern has had with
the shares of the Louisville and Nash
vile, but If the United States Supreme
Court should decide against the govern
ment in the suit against the Northern
Securities Company the Southern
might think differently about acquiring
the property.

TROUBLE FOR MILL OWNERS.

1t looks as If the mill owners Of Horse
Creek Valley. S. c.. would soon dis
cover that they cannot lockout their
employees without a satisfactory reason
for doing so. The alleged reason now
is that their operatives were assisting
in the support of the striking opera
tives of the King Mill in Augusta. and
! that the plan was for their operatives
to strike as soon as the King mill
operatives were victorious. The lock-
out. it seems. is for the purpose of
preventing the operatives from carry
ing out this plan for winning a fight
against the mill owners for higher
wages.
The Governor of South Carolina has
been appealed to by the operatives Of
the Horse Creek Valley, and the state
solicitor viii undertake to point out to
the mill owners that they are violating
the law
1t is doubtless only a suspicion which
the mill owners of Horse Greek Valley
have that their operatives intend to
strike for higher wages as soon as the
King mill operatives have won their
fight, but even If they have satisfactory
evidence it is questionable whether
stley have a right to declare a lockout
for that reason. Until the operatives
assume a hostile attitude the presump-
ton is that they intend to comply with
their contracts.
The operatives were induced to locate
at Horse Creek Valley by the implied
promise that they would be given
steady work as long as they gave salts
faction and the mills were in a solvent
condition, or at least as long as they
were prosperous The law will not, in
all probability, permit this promise to
be broken.
The state solicitor is quoted as say
ing that the mill owners are trying to
force their operatives to coerce the
King mill operatives to return to work
at the rate of wages which prevailed
before the strike in that mill. Against
this attitude of the mill owners he pro-
poses to invoke the law. The case will
no doubt be an interesting one. Mill
owners will probably find that an in
junction can be used as effectively by
employees as it is by employers.

THE DEPEW AMENDMENT.

AS we suspected at the time it was
offered the Depew amendment to the
bill changing the method of electing
senators was not a bluff. 1t was Of
fered seriously and has been adopted
by the Committee on Elections The
amendment means the opening of the
ballot box to illiterate negro voters in
every state in elections for represent
tatives and senator's. 1t also means a
force bill-a law giving Congress au-
thority to provide the election ma
chinery at elections for representatives
and senators in all of the states
With that amendment, the bill pro-
viding for the election of senator's by
popular vote will lose much of its
popularity. 1t is certain that there
are Southern senator's who have been
favoring the bill who will now, in all
probability, cast their influence
against it.
1t is true of course that the Depew
amendment has as yet only had the
approval of the Committee on Elec-
lions, but there is not much reason for
doubt that it had the approval of the
Republican leaders before it was Of
fered by Mr.. Depew. Some of them do
not want senators elected by popular
vote, Notwithstanding the legislatures
of their states have approved the bill
for that purpose. They could not very
well oppose what their people seemed
to want. So the Depew amendment
haH fhafr
would turn good many Southern SEN
ators against the bill.
There is not much reason to doubt
| that if the Depew amendment comes
to vote it will be adopted. 1t will
receive a strong support in the Repub-
lican states. In fact some of these
states will, in all probability, insist
upon the popular elections bill more
strongly now than ever. 1t is hardly
probable, however, that the bill will
become a law in the near future. The
| Depew amendment has given it a set
back from which it is not likely to re-
| cover soon.
The South does not want any force
bill legislation. She doesn't want leg
islation that is likely to provoke Sec
tional feeling. She has entered upon a
period of prosperity that encourages
her people to believe that within the
course of a comparatively few years
she will be better off in many respects
than any other section of the country
So far as she is concerned therefore
she will not regret it if the Depew
| amendment is not heard of again.

English and Irish.

The late Thomas Dunn English used
to tell this story, says the Philadelphia
Times. One night some boys We're
playing ball near his home, when they
accidentally broke ane of his windows.
DR.. English heard the crash and went
to the door to investigate but the boys
had decarnped. The district police sta
ton was only short distance from
DR.. English's residence, so he put on his
coat and hat and started off to the sta
ton house to report the matter. Al
this time a we'll known joker and teller
of good stories, named Thomas Dunn,
was lieutenant of police in the district.
He was on duty when the doctor came
in and Immediately recognized him.
The following dialogue passed between
them:
'Are you in charge here?" asked the
doctor
Eyes, sir" said Tom.
81 want you to send a policeman to
my house some boys congregate there
every evening and are nuisance to
the neighborhood, and just now one of
them broke one Of my windows"
81 cannot send an officer there now,
for the men are all on duty at present"
What! Have I no redress? | want
you to know that | am DR.. Thomas
Dunn English and have some rights 'as
q citizen"
Tom looked at the doctor with a
twinkle in his eye and answered:
''If YOU are DR.. Thomas Dunn Eng
fish you have some redress as citizen,
but l am Thomas Dunn, Irish, and have
some rights here as a lieutenant"

and the men shook hands.

Here's Difficult Golf.

PerpleXing points come up in every
sport, says the North American. The
story is told of golfer in Manchester,
England, who, finding his ball in a
tuft of grass, gave the ball such an
upward spin in lofting out that it
lodged in his beard. How should he
play the next stroke?
"A ball must be played wherever it
lies or the hole be given up" reads rule
of the rules of golf, except as other-
wise provided for in the rules"
Again, rule II provides Before
striking at a ball in play the player
shall not move, bend nor break any
thing fixed or growing near the bal"
etc.
Rule % affords new difficulties: eff
a ball lodge in anything moving a ball
shall be dropped as near as possible
to the place where the object was
when the ball lodged in it, without PEN
atty" Possibly rule 25 covers the
point: IF the players ball strike or
be stopped by himself or his partner
or either of their caddies or clubs his
side shall lose a hole, or, in medal
play, he loses one stroke"
Another solution may be afforded by
rule 30: IF ball be lost in fog. bent,
whins, long grass or the like, only so
much thereof shall be touched as will
enable the player to find his BALL" Still
another solution is offered in rule 10 of
the special rules for stroke COMPETE
tons: "A ball may be lifted out of a
difficulty of any description and teed, if
possible, behind it, under penalty of
two strokes" ETC..
