FUNERAL ORATORY.
It is very cruel of the New York
Sun to prick the beautiful bubbles
of funeral oratory at Washington.
D. 0. Haskell, member of congress4
of Kansas died, and half a day was
spent in hearing thirteen members
tell, in carefully prepared speeches
what a great- and good man'he was
where he had gone, and what he, was
doing. Mr. Ryan of Kansas pro
nounced' the death of his lato ool-
league a "national calamity." He
went on to say;
"I seem to see now in fancy my de
parted friend on that far shore, his
once soaring spirit in peaceful repose
at least, basking in the glad sunrise
of an eternal morning. From that
infinite .bight may we not fancy him
comprehending in the sweep of his
perfected vision the places, events,
and interests that attracted his
thoughts and engaged his energies
in life? "So shall he look down upon
a grateful country, her reverent mil
lions paying the tribute of tears to
one who." "served their interests faith
fully, whose devotion to the cause of
social regeneration, and whose
championship of the rights and digni
ty of American labor challenged their
sincere "admiration. In the van of
them all we behold the sorrow
ing hosts of his own state,
watering his grave -with tears
and bedecking it with lily and immor
telle. When these flowers fade and
their fragrance perishes, surviving
affection will rear a sculptured col
umn above the dust, and the enduring
marble itself shall crumble and decay
ere his name and fame fade from
recolleotion."
The others followed in the same
strain, and the Swi says: "This sort
of thing should stop in congress, It
is an absolute loss of valuable time.
It is no honor to the momory of
worthy and respectable members like
Mr, HaskelL It is largely humbug,
for often the most lachrymose funeral
orators on the floor are congressmen
who are believed to be the most jovial
of junketers when they go in Pull
man cars to carry the remains to the
grave." Tiie editor of the Suji should
remember that he will die soon, and
somebody may waste valuable time in
eulogizing him. And some stone may
carry an epitaph as full of bitter irony
as his newspaper does daily, on moat
earthly affairs. He would do well to
prepare a model funeral oration to be
delivered over his remains that mt n
may judge whether he treats himself
as he does his fellows.
The administration gallantly stands
by Mr. Sargent, our minister to Ber
lin, in the conflict forced upon him
by Prince Bismarck. The corre
spondence on the subject leaves Sec
retary Frelinghuysen the victor in the
controversy. The German, chancellor
went to the trouble and the postal
expense of sending back the Lasker
resolution. The secretary of state
declined to receive it, and now the
German minister must either give it
storage room at the embassy in
Washington or tear it up. The latter
course ho cannot pursue, and the
only thing left him is to file it away
for reference. The dignified action
of the administration is in striking
contrast with the petulant, peevish
policy of Mr. Bismarck. It is a sting
ing rebuke to the German autocrat
Probably the best thing to do next
would be to call Mr. Sargent to a
higher place and save the treasury
the expense of maintaining a minister
at Berlin until we are assured that he
will be treated with the respect due
the representative of fifty millions of
people.
Another of our foreign ministers
is in trouble. General Low Wallace,
our representative at Constantinople,
sent his card to the Grand Vizier a
few days ago, when the Turkish Bis
marck sent back a curt message that
he was busy and asked him to oall
again. Naturally General Wallace
was incensed, and in polite diplo
matic phrase threatened to tear the
whole establishment down unless he
was given an audience immediately.
He was admitted in an instant If
the slights to our representatives
abroad are continued we shall have
to adopt a pretty vigorous policy and
teach the minions of despotism a les
son they will remember. The Grand
Vizier is indisoreet. The next suc
cessful assassination plot may strip
him of his power and property and
send him to Castle Garden as an im
migrant, and then what would be
come of him?
It sounds rather pleasant to hear
a paper like the London Times, say
that "the happy fortune of the-Amer-ican
people has left them for the time
with no more difficult problem to set
tle than how to avoid accumulating
so enormous a reserve of public
wealth as not to know what to do
with their taxes." The standing army
of the United States, the Ti7iesmen
tions furthermore, "is the minutest in
existence," and yet "no country would
dare gratuitously to offer the govern
ment an affront or do it an injustice.'
The time was, and not very long ago,
either, when such remarks from the
Timet would have been considered
ufficieatjostificatioh for every truly
patriotic Briton to stop the paper.
WHAT IS A SEA?'
Becektu in New York state, a
judgment was rendered which in
volves the question "what is a sea?"
-Che judgment of the lower court in
the case of Charles Snowden and an
other, against William H. Guion and
others was reversed and a new trial
ordered. It appears that Mr. Snow
den secured a verdict for damages
done to cattle which he had shipped
by the Guion Steamship Line; of
these 156 were killed, maimed in a
heavy storm which prevailed between
February 14 and March 2, 1683. Mr.
Snowden brought the suit upon a
policy of marine insurance against
the loss of cattle shipped on the
steamship. Tiie case involved a con
struction of he phrise "directly by
sea," -which was contained in this pro
vision in. the pelicy: "Liable only
for loss of animal or animals caused
directly by a sea, stranding, sinking,
burning, or collision," eto. The ani
mals had been injured by being
thrown from their stalls through the
pitching of the vessel. Chief Justice
Sedgwick, who writes the opinion re
versing the judgment which Mr.
Snowden secured, says:
"Policies generally have 'peril of
the seas,' but writers upon insurance
and judges often use as an equivalent
'peril of the sea? The word 'seas in
the general provision has no specific
or limited reference to the ocean as a
body of water. It is contrasted to
land. It refers to the peculiarities of
the contingencies of living and trad
ing upon water, as distinguished from
living and trading upon land.
The definitions " of dictionaries seem
to give what is the use of the word
'sea1 among seafarers as well as
among people generally.
"Webster makes sea to mean 'A
wave, a billow, as to ship a sea; the
swell of the ocean in a tempest; mo
tion or agitation of the water's sur
face.' Falconer's 'marine dictionary,'
byBurney, says: 'Sea as variously
applied by sailors to a single wave, to
the agitation produced by a multi
tude ol waves in a tempest or to their
particular progress of direction.'
Thus they say; 'We shipped a heavy
sea;' 'There is quite a sea in the off
ing;' The sea sets to the south
ward.' Hence a ship ia said to head
the sea when her course is opposed
ta the direction or setting of
the surges. This is given after 'sea'
is defined as a, separate word to mean
that vast, tract of water encompassing
the whole earth, more properly called
ocean, and also as another word more
properly used for a particular part of
the ocean, as tho Irish sea, the Medi
terranean sea, the Baltic sea, the Bed
sea.'
"There may be doubi,"" continues
the judge, "that parties to such con
tracts could accurately state the dif
ference between the articles 'a' and
he,' yet if they use one or the other
in a way that exhibits a discrimina
tion in tact, that discrimination must
have, its proper weight Writers on
language say that the definite article
always grows out of a demonstrative
pronoun, the indefinite out of the
numeral one; that 'an' or 'a' is the
numeral one; 'the' is the demonstra
tive 'that
"The parties meant by a 'peiil of a
sea not a peril of the sea that might
be in the winds as well as in the
water, but a risk connected with a
movement of the water of the sea.
As it was described as a or one, sea,
the intention was to designate some
part of the water for example, a
wave, of which there might be sev
eral, each of which would be a diffor
erent object from the general body of
water and would involve its peculiar
or characteristic risk. A sea in the
sense of a general agitation of the
water or waves wns not meant, be
cause that is a collective term embrac
ing many waves, and it ceases to be
applicable when tho individual waves
which compose it are intended to be
designated A loss could not occur
from the particulars considered col
lectively, but only from their proper
individual effects.
"X do not mean that the parties
confined themselves to a wavespe
ciBcally, but they intended a definite
and separated part of the general
body of water and a risk that would
be peculiar to that and a loss that
might be definitely traced from that
In this particular case
the ordinary motion of a vessel would
ba likely to throw animals down and
lessen their valHe - endanger their
lives. A loss that
follows the direct action upon ani
mals of a sea shipped would as praoti
cally us possible distribute between
the parties the risks each would be
likely and willing to take.
There was some ovidence tending to
show that soe of the cattle died
"from want of air, tie hatches having
oeen battened down. None of the
cattle suffered inju.ry from the direct
action of the -waiter nnnn fhmv
There was no evidence that any water
reached them. Y am of the opinion
that the general, tossing and laboring
of the steamer -which caused the in
jury to the anima is was not the result
pf a sea, in the t sense of the policy,
but of the general commotion of the
sea and of the. winds, and that for
these reasons tbj 3 defendants were not
liable for the loa s on the evidence as
given."
The judge accordingly ordered a
new trial.
