BarOndess, Hughes and Parks.

In stating recently that the Court Of
Appeals WAS unanimous in the Barondess
case THE SUN was led into error. The
disposition of the case is thus officially
reported:
Agree to reverse and aff,rm judgment OF convic.
tion on opinion OF DANIELS j., below.
EARL Oh. j., ANDREWS. FINCH and PIcxHAM.
w., concur. GRAY. j.. reads for af',rmancs
O'F3RIEN and MAYNARD, JJ.. concur.
Judgment reversed"
The same bench, however, on Jan, II,
1893 did unanimously affirm the judg-
ment of conviction in the case of the
people against JAMES HUGHES. This ap-
pears to be the latest utterance OF the
Court of Appeals on the questions raised
in atrial for extortion.
The syllabus presents a case similar
to the cases Of PARKS and BARoNDEss in
this manner:
An indictment for e1tortion charged. and the
evidence on tnal showed that defendant. as the
head Ola labor oryanlzat lon, with ranches through
out the country reatcncd TO and did put into oper
alton a scheme termed boycott for lessening and
damaging the business OF frm OF manufacturers
because they failed to obey his commands In refer
ence TO the number OF apprentices they should en-
ploy and when they submitted to his dictatlon. de
manded and received money as the price OF aban :
coning the scheme and ending the mischief. Held,
that defendant was properly convicted OF the crime
charged"
Judge FINCH wrote the opinion of the
Court Of Appeals and, describing the sit
uation presented, said: And when they
submitted to his dictation and apologized
for seeking to do their own business in
their own way instead Of his, extorted
money from the firm as the price of for
giveness.
The Court OF Appeals distinctly held
that mans business was his property,
to which an unlawful injury might be
threatened as HUGHES threatened and
as BARoNDEss threatened and as PARKS
threatened. Judge FINCH wrote:
Such threat within the doctrine OF the Baron /.
dsss ease and within that also OF the dissenting
opinion OF this court amounts TO a threat to do an
unlawful injury to properly"
To this view the same bench which di-
vided four to three in the Barondess case
assented unanimously in the Hughes
case

"Wc Can Care for Our Own

When the city of Paterson was visited
by fire which left many of its people
homeless and destroyed a good part of
the business section of the community,
Mayor HINCHLIFFE announced that no
assistance from without was needed to
repair the damage that had been done
I'VE can take care of our own" was
the message that the community sent to
those who offered aid 1t was mes
sage that the outside world had not ex-
pected, for Paterson had long been
pointed out as an example of all that was
bad in municipalities. Little was known
beyond it's own bounds of the silk indus
try which has reached high develop
ment there, but its Anarchists were talked
of throughout the country. OF it's law
abiding citizens rarely a word was said,
but its rioters had won great fame. Its
churches and philanthropic organiza-
tons had only local reputation, but it's
saloon back rooms and dance halls had
been described throughout the whole
nation. Many virtuous persons pictured
the town as a sink of iniquity, given up
to sin and shame and gloryng in its mis-
deeds
TO all who held this view of Pater-
son, the promise of Mayor HINCHLIFFE
seemed an idle boast How could COM
munity so utterly wicked as Paterson
rebuild itself? It's fires and floods could,
in fact be interpreted only as a judg-
ment on its sins, rebuke from Heaven
for its waywardness But Paterson was
left to itself to work out lis own saliva
ton; and this week its citizens are cele-
bratng the beginning Of the end of the
work
The energetic and public-spirited men
Of the community, Of whose presence no
account was taken by those who looked
upon the city as hopelessly bad. have
rebuilt the burned portion of the town in
modern buildings creditable in every
way TO their enterprise and taste The
fire cleaned ny some parts of the town
that no less searching agent could have
reached. The damage done by the
floods has resulted in new structures,
new payements and new drains The
city has sisen, by its own efforts. TO be a
better place physically, and undoubtedly

One of the last occasions when an Ameri-
can warship was sent into Turkish waters
for the protection Of an American citizen
was in 1873 during the instruction in Thes-
sally that followed the conclusion Of the
Russo Turkish War of 1877. There WAS con-
siderable fighting on the slopes Of Mount
Pelion above and around the seaport Of Volo
at the head of the Gulf OF Volo between
Turkish division under ISLANDER Paohs, a
Hungarian renegade and a large insurgent
band with which was the provisional gov
eminent OF Thesssly.
The Turks were victorious and were COM
hitting excuses in the neighboring villages,
even threatening the foreign residents Of
Volo. who were without protection OF any
kind Among them was Greek nafurslzed
American citizen who applied to the AM
basssdor at ConstantinopIe. The RESPONSE
was the immediate despatch Of the old
corvette Marion under Capt BRADFORD.

British Political Economists OH the
Chamberlain Project.

We have pointed out from time to
time that the preferential tariff pro-
posed by Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN has been
denounced, not only by British Liberals,
but also by many leading Unionists,
including three Chancellors OF the Elk
chequer. Among men, on the other
hand, who have had no practical expe
rience with fiscal legislation and admin
istration he has found some supporters
for example, DR.. JOHN BEATTIE Gro
zIER and MIR. BENJAMIN KIDD, who are
sociologists, and Sir ROBERT GIFFEN,
who is compiler and expounder of sta
,stics. 1t should be- noted, however,
that Sir ROBERT admits that a,system
of mutual preferences holds out no
promise of economic advantage to the
mother country or to the colonies, and
can be defended on political grounds
alone.
But what say the professional political
economists? 1t is their verdict, if nearly
unanimous, which will do more than any
other agency to shape opinion in Great
Britain during the interval preceding
the next appeal to the electorate.
We do not suppose that very much
attention will be paid by Englishmen
10 the condemnation of Mr.. CHAMBER
LAINs plan by Prof. LUJo BRENTANo
in the FortnighHy Rertew, because, al
though political economist Of cosmo-
politan reputation, he writes from the
viewpoint of German free-trader, and
may be accused of being influenced by
the well-founded belief that the adop-
ton Of preferential tariff by the British
Parliament would injure Germany as
well as the United Kingdom itself 1t
is the judgment pronounced by British
political economists that will have most
weight upon the British mind.
No fewer than fourteen OF these have
recently published definition of their
position in the fiscal controversy. In
the impressive list of authorities we
mark the names OF Prof. EDGEWORTH
OF Oxford University, Prof. MARSHALL
Of Cambridge University. Prof MICH

Motor Cycles at Manhattan Beach

Motor Cycles at Manhattan Beach.
Never in the comparatively brief his
tory of the motor cycle in this country
have it's powers Of speed and its economy
of operation been demonstrated more
thoroughly than during the last few
DAYS at Manhattan Beach. The tests
which have there taken place may be
regarded az proving that, of all known
inventions which aim at reducing the cost
of transportation, this power-driven out
growth of the safety bicycle stands at the
head.
With one pint Of gasolene, worth about
three cents, motor-cyclist OWEN, on
Monday, was able to cover with his ma
chine of "a horsepower 10 miles l,34s
yards at a speed of about one mile
in two minutes. With the same quantity
of fuel two other riders covered, respec-
lively - miles and II miles, their time
being considerably less than that occu-
pied by OWEN.
The speed possibilities Of the motor
cycle over short stretches Of smooth
surface were shown to excellent advan-
tage in races of one mile and five miles,
and also in a continuous four-hour con-
test. In race for novices, motor-cyclist
BAKER was able to drive his machine a
mile in minute and 3s seconds, while
the five-mile amateur handicap was won
by the same rider in minutes and 10 3-5
H., or
the power of G. N HoLDEN's machine
to 90 $50 miles in that space OF time, or
at the rate of 37l9 miles an hour. The
scores of six other riders ranged from
lis miles to l42 miles. 1t is significant
that one of the contestants rode 13l l-3
miles without stop, while another, pro-
ceeding more slowly, did not have to
dismount during the whole four hours,
Such exhibitions, together with the
highly satisfactory showing made by
these modern vehicles in their recent
endurance run between New York and
Worcester, speak for themselves. in
that test, it will be remembered, sixteen
riders covered the 394 miles and four
teen of them had perfect scores.
The foregoing facts seem to explain.
to large extent. the increased demand
for motor cycles in this country. Whether
these new machines will ever rival in
number their musole-driven contempo-
raries remains to be seen. That they
will do so is the opinion Of some
observers

The franchise granted by the Aldermen
on Tuesday. allowing the Union Railway
Company to lay tracks and run cars on
Macomb's Dam bridge, will make posi-
bic public improvement Of great value TO
the upper end Of Manhattan and to the
borough Of The Bronx. The west side Of
Manhattan above l36th street has been
without means Of street railway connection
with The Bronx. In order to get from one
borough 10 the other, passengers In the
street cars have been obliged to walk con-
siderable distance, unprotected from sun
and storm. because Of the lack Of railway
across the bridge. From this condition
the residents Of the section are now to be
delivered. The great public Fairgrounds
Of The Bronx will be made easily available
TO thousands in Manhattan who have not
yet learned to appreciate them.
