It was a time for lightning thought and ac- tion; but by attaching a heavier cable,to the parted one and taking a hitch around the steam capstain, we finally disentangled it ““This excitement was no sooner ovtr than a great berg that wes passing near us split in two of its own accord, a cube of some twenty-five or thirty feet drop- Ping toward the ship, and just missing our | Quarter by only a foot or two. ‘‘Bergs to |the right of them, bergs to ti left of | them, bergs on top of them.'

A wire from the battery had, of course, peen connected with one of the primers buried in the dynamite. Pole, wire and dynamite were thrust down through a- crack in' the lce at several places in the adjacent floe. The other end of each wire was then connected with the battery, every one got away to a respect- Tul distance on the far side of the deck, and a quiek, sharp push on the plunger of the battery sent the electric current along the wires. “Rip! bang! boom!

With the contlict and variance in the laws of different states and the constant dis- turbances that arise becausé of this vuri- ance there seems to be an absolute nec sity for some uniformity of legistation dpon all subjects that affect the commercia. welfare and domestie happiness of the peo- ple of the United States. Our empires within an empire make frequently disas- | trous and ruinous conflict, and there 1s no remedy for evils that increase as time goes on except an education not only of the legal profession, but of the masses, to the neces- | sity of greater uniformity in legislation. The American Bar assoclation has nad this in view for yéars, but, unfortunately, has been able to accomplish very little to bring about the much needed result. Your profect is worthy of all credit and ald, and I greatly hope that before much time elapses your effort will be crowned with full suceess. Anything that I can do at any time to forward this excellent work I will_gladly do. My own opinion has been so fully cov- ered by those with whom you have had correspondence that I feel that nothinggls needed from me excopt to endorse what fak been so well put by my friend, Everctt P. Wheeler, Esq.. when he quotes from Lord Bacon in saying: “That a country In which the laws are Indefinite and uncertain 'ls subject to an i~on servitude’ We cansbe rid of some of this servitude by uniformity of state legislation, and a definiie and well settied doctrine firmly established showing the distingtion between leglslation ~that should be extended to the states and that that should come from the congress of the United States. I have examined with some care your plan for a corpus juris. There cannot be the slightest doubt that such & work well carried out would be the greatest contri- butfon ever made to our low. While the in estimable value to the profession, its ohief advantage would accrue to the people as a whole who suffer more than any except mwyers realize from the present enormous volume and confused state of the pre- cedents from which the law in & given case e pe developed. The undertaking is colossal and Dbeset by difficulties, On the one hand, the work must be authoritative. Comparatively little good would be accomplished by a mere comprehensive treatise on the lawm eral, which would relegate us to the same study | of old cases as the only real authority. The work should solve the problem so long confronting us and arising out of the enormous and Indsed appalling growth of the reports, We cannot hope for any work which would enable us to throw on the junk pile the thousands of accumulated volumes, but we may reasonably hope for & work which will render a resort to them rarely necessary, and when necessary at all chiefly for historical purposes. On the other hand, legislative codification leads us Into a new and inner maze without gotting s out of the old one. The au- thority must be derived not from legislative flat but from the character of the work itself. Judge Pound. 1 do not doubt that such & work s you propose, though difficult of execution, because it would be & ploneer work in the system of our Anglo-American law, is en- tirely feasible. The utllity of the work i beyond dispute, and, I might fairly say, beyond measure. Our jurisprudence of rules s breaking dowp obviously, and in the process is in- Juring seriously public respect for law. A great deal of our law_ In. books is not law in action, not only because the mass of legal detall is too cumbrous for actual ad- ministration, but often because, at the crisls of decision judges cannot but fes! that' they ought not to apply the mechan- | lcal detalls they find in the books in tha hard =nd fast way that rules, as @istirct | from principles, are to be applied. But where are they to find the principies? | There are suggestions here and there, and a powerful judge now and then draws & principle from the mass of rules. In gene however, the courts are too offen forced to reach a conclusion on the large equities of the cause and forage In the | books for cases to support it. This makes our written opinions a mere ritual. Soomer OF later & system of our law must come. Such & work must be done for Its own Sake. It must come from (a) the gradual, but extremely slow progress of academite Tesearch and publication, from (b) & state- appofnted commission or from some private . foundation. Commercial enter- prise ‘will demend immediate profits—and this work must be done thoroughly for ultimate net fmmediate results. The work of the comtmissloners on uniform state laws, for example, will not sell; byt wigo shall estimate its value? It has been said that the crimes of a MBonaparte and the bigotry of a Justinian will be forgotten because at thelr bidding the /rough places in the way of fustice were made smooth. The pnlum under whose auspices the way of Ium-r Jus- tice shall be made smooth will s done A abd. wht be the aresion P inaL he devoted his own while they com- manded the resources of states. ©
