Law Reform. To the Lditor of The Tribune, Cnicago, Dec. 81.—Mr. Fauntleroy, in his an- swer to me, advances one proposition, which, were It ndopted, would strike at the root of all the abuses of the law as st preseot adminis- tercd. but in this as In other rurgestions he {alls to consider the Insurmountable dificultics in the way of its adoption, cauard by the faults In our political system and the weaknesses of human nature. He would have the laws revised by a commit- tee of the ablest lawyers. There could be no exnibitfon of wisdotm more profoumd on the vart of the Legislature of [linols thon the en- forcement of this very plan, but nothing, T be- leve, could be further from tbelr tastes and fn- uinatfons. p /The whole course of American government has been steadily driftine awey from tlhie em- ployment of the ablest inen by efther the Fed- eral or Stats auttior ftics. With a few noted exceptions it is notorious that the most prominent membera of the Bur are employed by the raitroad and other corporations, nm( that whenever they come fu contact” with a 8rate Government thelatlerisata disadvantage. It 15 only too notorlons that tn elcctive uilicers ability Is the least Important’ qualification, but in appointed officers it Is strange enough that as a matter of pure business futcrost the Govern- ment dues not rlaw It salarics bigh cuough to obtain the services of the most uscial men. Tt Is well known that it would be of no avall to uffer Evarts or Curtls the last vacant posi- tion In the Supreme Court of the United States, and nothing Is more certain than that neither Ager, Jewett, Dexter, ur others of equal rank would leave their practice for the precarious tenurc of a sent n the hizhest Court of this Biatc with a salary of $5,000a year, If there 18 anv way of obtalnine the scrvices of such gentlemen it Is by giving them a quid pro quo for their work at what It is worth, and it would be beyond all precedent that the Legis- tature should appropriate 810,000 n year for cach of them to give their whoic time for ten yu ! Evyen should the Leglslature commit this act of etatesmanstnn, which would startle the coun- try from one cnd to Lhe other, it s most likely tliat tho appointments would be made from those who would return the most volltical fne fluence, and eacl, I fear, woutd be duly as- seascd his sharc of the next campaign fund. Still there will vo no thorough change in the Inws worthy the name of reform until this yery thing s dong. In all departmcuts of sclenve, mechanies, medieine, it has always reguired the greatest miuds to simplify and systematize, ond when we conslder how complex are the bresent transactlons fn social llfe, 1t is plain that thero s no task more difficult than to frame laws to govern them, and bo ot once clear and comprehiensive. Nevertheless, althogh the most profound learnin may be applicd to the problem, it is certaiv that the understanding and apptication of them must always remain a special study, and the objeet to be sought is, that thelr con- structlon should be kept from tho control of igoorant men. ¥ ‘Tho jury system Is In most cases, T will not say in all, as'painful o farco as would be that of a hod-currier lu cburge of the Natlouat Observa- tory or the Patent-Oltice, and the ca)l for such & simpliiication of the Jaws as will enable them to be Intellizently applied by any and everybody Is as unreasonable as to call Tor the constriction of a locomotlve that cas be managed by the in- tellizence required to handie a vickax. ‘Thenca ! am surprisedjthat Mr. Fountleroy should fu one breath call for & reform of tlio laws h{ competent men, and then proposs to leave the dectalon of causes to-orbitratcrs who aro absolutely beyond the control of all law, nelther required to know auythiog about It nor toapplvit if they did know ft.
