But  when  a  right  is  solely  and  exclusively  of  legislative  crea-
tion, when  it  does  not  derive  existence  from  the  common  law
or  from  the  principles  of  equity,  jurisdiction  may  be  limited
to  particular  tribunals,  and  new  specific  remedies  provided  for
its  enforcement.  Then  the  jurisdiction  can  be  exercised  and
the  remedy  pursued  only  as  the  statute  provides.^  Where  a
statute  gives  a  new  remedy  for  a  right  existing  and  enforcible
either  at  common  law  or  in  equity,  and  contains  no  negative,
express  or  implied,  of  the  old  remedy,  the  new  one  provided
by  it  is  cumulative,  and  the  party  may  elect  between  the
two.*     If  a  new  right  is  created  by  statute  and  it  is  silent
