PERSONAL
THE
PROPERTY
EXTREME.
The question of ownership in
different things as personal proper
ty, is one of the peculiarities
of human claims. But one of the
most peculiar of these claims that
has come to light recently is the
claim of property in language by
virtue of having coined new words.
The language of a people, in its
perspicuity and adaptability for
the uses of conveying'ideas, marks
the growth of a nation in a civiliza
tion and advancement. Indeed as
a recent eiitarial writer says the
whole story of civilization is em
braced in the record of linguistic
fluctuations ; and thus in a sense
the best histories are the diction
aries. Empires and peoples have
passed away from time to time, but
their words have remained to per
petuate their glories and to increase
the facilities of education jitnd pro
gress. It goes without saying that
while this work of invention and
selection, of trial and adjustment,
was going on, there was perfect
freedom of individual appropria
tion. There was no monopoly of
language, no corner in words. All
were at liberty to use the terms
which suited their purposes or pre
ferences. Thus in the course of
events our own language reached
an aggregate of 40,000 words. That
was a quarter of a century ago, and
it was then commonly supposed
that we had all the words we could
ever adapt to useful service. But
since then the number has been
increased to 200,000, in conse
quence of new demands in various
branches of literature, as well as
in the realm of ordinary peisonal
intercourse; and the indications
point to a continued growth, or
did so point until the other day,
when Judge Bradley, of the United
States circuit court, rendered a
decision whiuii may change the
aspect of affairs in that relation by
shutting off our supply of vocal
novelties and conveniences. This
decision is to the effect that the
coiner of a new word may copy-
wright it and thus make it his
private property, and that no other
person can legally use said word or
any imitation thereof. The parti
cular word in controversy before
this learned and upright jurist was
"celluloid,"- which the plaintiff
corporation claimed as a noun of
its own creation, which it had
copyrighted as a trade-mark. On
the part of the defense, Webster's
and Worcester's dictionaries and
Chambers's Encyclopedia were
offered as evidence that the word
was public property ; but the court
held that the dictionary-makers
had no right to include the word
in their book, and that such un
lawful publication could not affect
the vested rights of the originator.
Assuming this to be good law, it
follows that we must be content for
the most part with the old familiar
words which have descended to us
from previous ages, and which can
not be copyrighted for speculative
purposes. Our civilization has
reached a point, manifestly, where
it becomes in at least one particu
lar victim of its own law of develop
ment, and the new words to repre
sent the hew things which it is
daily bringing to pass it may be
enjoined from using by its own
judicial tribunals.
Atlantic and Pacific roast system
with 14,000 nvles centered round
four ports on the Pacific and three
on the Atlantic and a terminus on
the Carribbean sea, and says "the
railroads of the Pacific coast would
connect with it at Cauca,and every
railroad terminating on the gulf
would le brcugh: within three
days' ferriage. New York could
be brought within five days of
Cartagena, six days of the Amazon,
seven davs of Cerro del Pasc, eight
days of Lima or Cuzco, nine days
of Melendo or La Paz, and twelve
days of Valparaiso. The mails of
Europe for one-half of South
America would pass through 1400
mile., of our territory. A new and
attractive tourists' route would be
opened, trade and travel would
seek new channels, and the com
mercial union of at least five re
publics would become possible."
The English syndicate which
proposes to buy a large number of
oil wells and furnish pipe-line
transportation for other owners of
wells will be a competitor that the
Standard Oil Company cannot pur
chase or crowd out. It is to be
hoped that the English company
will give this remorseless monopo
ly no quarter, but will fight it out
all alon the line. The Standard I
w ill find it has sown the dragon's
teeth as soon as it has a genuine
competitor, for enemies by the
hundred will rise on every hand to
get vengeance for old injuries.
The wine crop of France is said
to have materially fallen off during
the past year, over former years.
This will have a decidedly dis
couraging effect upon the drinkers
of French champagne, but as it is
further said that the entire crop of
French champagne would not sup
ply the wants of the city of London
for one month, American consum
ers of the sparkling beverage need
not worry. Then French cham
pagne is French only in name
anyhow, and they can continue to
gather all the exhileratinj? effects
of it'just as they have in the past.
