aforesaid is very largely problematical. II

Is peculiarly within the province OF the
jury TO determine after hearing all OF the
evidence bearing upon the situation and
standing in life of the parent, the physical
and mental condition OF the child, his
surroundings and prospects. and all the
other circumstances OF the case. They
see and hear the witnesses, they are
generally heads OF families and have
children OF their own, and therefore have
peculiar knowledge of the pecuniary
value OF children's services, as we'll as
the expense attending their support and
education. and hence are in a position TO
approximate more nearly to the correct
solution OF such a difficult question than
any other tribunal can be.
ut follows therefore that unless Il be
made to appear In a given case that the
dice or some Improper motive or that
they failed to be governed by the law and
the evidence In the case, their findings
upon the question of damages will not be
disturbed"
The court holds that the trial justice
did not err I'm limiting the time for which
the plaintiff could recover the period be-
fore the boy should reach the age OF 81
years. The chances of survivorship, OF
his ability and willingness after he should
become of age 10 support the parent are
matters too vague, uncertain and remote
to enter into an estimate OF damages
merely compensatory"

WHAT WILL THE PROGRESSIVE POP Dor

The last DemoPop mixup constitutes case in
which it is hard to decide whether the whale or
Jonah is the sicker. The Populist sheets are very
limp, and the Democratic organs in being pale

large element Of the rank and file Of the Populists
yehemently protesting that they were never
swallowed, anyway and cant be. The reason for
all this is not far to seek. PROFESSIONALLY a major
fly Of the Pop party were original Republicans.
They did not foreswear their allegiance because the
Republican party too radical, too progress
sive, but for exactly the opposite reason The Popu-
lists have claimed to be as far in advance of the
Republican party as the Republican radicalism is
ahead of the conservatism of the Democratic party
There was never anything in common between the
Democratic party and the Pop party farther than
the desire TO defeat the Republican party There
has been mutually aside from this wish They
Joined hands in fusion not with any expectation that
either Democratic that Populisc principles would
prevail, but that the Republican party might be
downed With the first victory of fusion over the
Republican party the Democratic contingent was
rudely awakened to the fact that so far as Kansas
was concerned their organization was threatened
with humiliation only, but that the Pop end of

butter Finally came the supreme effort of the old
party to survive and rehabilitate by assimilation
The motion has been successfully gone through

Can a progressive Pop become a nuIliier and
mossback? Can man who left the Republican
party because would come up to his initiative
and referendum ideas, now fall back and down the
political steps of a hundred years into the arms
and service of the rock-rbbed, unprogressive and
carping old Democratic party? We doubt it as to
many. There are many Populists who have done
little politically for several years but denounce the
Republican party that cannot be Democrats of their
own free wills be forced to profess love for Demo
cratic doctrines to vote to uphold Democratic prin-
ciples Then what will they do? They will come
