B Norra, ‘Treas. Evening Star Newspaper Co, Sworn to aud subscribed before me this six- teenth day of April, A. D. 1888 Joun T. C. CLare, Notary Public, —_ «$= ‘A sign of the times scarcely less striking than tue movement to establish munletpal home rule in ‘England is the introduction of a bill in parila men to abolish the distinction between solicitors and Darristers {n British law practice. from time tm- iwetmorial a traditicn has prevailed in the mother country that barristers are a patrician class, who ‘Work Without expectation of reward, and only in the cause of justice for people in distress. They are gentlemen, and therefore never stoop tothe drudgery of preparing a case for a client. A solicl- tor who belongs to the middle social stratum and ‘Works for his liviog must do all that. The barris- ter’s partis confined to the management of the case in court, Lawyers in this country are both attorneys and counsellors, the American terms corresponding generally (0 solicitors and barris- ters under the English system. To the cireumlo- eution of the British system many miscarriages of Justice are to be credited; for the barnster has mo active sympathy with the client, and cam get the benefit of no coufidential sug- gestions from him during the progress of the case, except at second hand through the solicitor, who way himself have a plodding, unappreciative inind incapable of grasping the mertts of the ideas advanced, Moreover, the fiction that the barrister takes no pay for his services, which formed the basis for the pursuit of so round-about a method, 1s now an antique and moss-grown joke—a digni- fed humbug. The more progressive spirits among we English afe therefore in favor of a reform ‘which will sweep away this ridiculous barrier be- tween the ornamental and the business branches of the profession. The wonder is that such a measure should bave been brought forward by a ‘Tory government, committed by the articles of its party faith to the preservation of tne most venera- bie of social Isndmarks. _————— ‘Matthew Arnoid’s death, occurring suddenly and So soon after the publication of his contemptuous essay on American civilization, will prevent, in this country at least, the just discussion of his mnerits asa maa of letters, a critic and a gentle- man, for many of our countrymen who would glad- ly have indulged thetr analytic powers upon the ‘apalyst who so lately worked upon themseives, Will be moved by a feeling of delicacy to withhold their comments, and disprove by their charity the accusation of coarseness which he was so fond of bringing against them Mr. Amold was, unquestionably, 2 workman of ‘uncommon ability. No literary man tn Europe commanded a wider audience when he chose to speak, and Irrespective of the rhetorical medium 4m which he clothed his thoughts. As a poet, even, he was read, and poetry was by no means the happiest form of expression for him. But in prose, and especially in his essays in theological polemics, be was recognized as a master. His “Literature and Dogma,” and the later “God and the Bible,” created a sensation among the thinking people of England and America which has had no parallel in its own Geld, even im the France to which ‘Renan preaches bis heretical sermons. That a mab of such talents and so broad an influence should have come to America, enjoyed its open- handed hospitality to the utmost, and gone home ‘wo write of our people in the petty, caricaturing spirit of a Dickens or a Trollope, must always re main a cause of extreme regret to his sdmirers on ‘this side of the Atlantic, and a vivid filustration of the contradictory traits which can be asso- ciated in a single character. ee General Boulanger’s triumph in the election in ‘the department of the Nord yesterday probably exceeded his own boldest expectations, and must have carried dismay to the hearts of some of his political foes His vote was about douvle that of Doth his competitors put together. By many itis Delleved that his election last Sunday fm another ‘department was not an accidental honor, asit pur- ported to be, but one regularly arranged by nis political managers as a part of their program, and with & view vo impressing the popular mind ‘with a due sense of the esteem in which his coun- trymen everywhere hold him How far this episode may have gone toward influencing the result of yesterday's balloting will pernaps never De Known, Dut 1t could scarcely have failed of ‘some effect. It will be impossible to interpret the meantug of the general's victory till he has taken his seat in the chamber and begun his work as a lawmaker. Then France will see what stuff there 4 in Bim; bow far he deserves his reputation asa Jeader of men; whether bis tendencies are revo- Jutlonsry in the broader of only in the stricter sense, and whether it 1s his Bonapartist or his radical supporters who are deceived in bim, It ‘Will be interesting to see what figure he cuts asa statesman and a man of peace. —$<—<— As the time for the republican convention draws ‘igh and the champions of the several aspirants to the Presidency grow notier in zeal and leas tole- Fant of the claims of others, Mr. Cleveland's chances for & second term would seem to grow brighter. Says the St. Lowls Globe-Democrat, an organ of @ section of the republican party, speak- Ang with a tone of apparent authority : “in 1888, as in 1880, Mr. Biaine will resolutely Geclare that Mr. Sherman shall not be nominated.” ‘If this singular proclamation 1s inspired, or should it turn out to be true, It would be the most natural thing in the world tor the friends of Mr. Sherman to determine, thougn they may not actually declare, that neither Mr. Blaine nor his irect representative shall be elected, even if nominated at Chicago. It has been noticed that the waving of the red flag sometimes proves dis. astrous to the matador as well as irritating to the bail ———_— Ic is to be regretted that unfavorable weather luke Uaat of to-day should fall upon the apniver- ‘sary of the abolishment of slavery im the United States, but it isa subject of still greater regret ‘that those most directly interested in hat momentous event are not able to observe it iw a spirit of unity and good feeling. Instead of Whaat we see our colored citizens split up into fac. ‘ons, each Intent upon belittling the motives and efforts of the other, and fomenting discord and sirife where nothing but complete harmony ought prevail A day fraught with memories so Precious not alone to the colored race but to the ‘whole human family ts entitled toa more suitable recognition, and It is to be hoped that by another year, through the efforts of the conservative por- tion of our colored population, factional and per- Sonal jealousies may be put aside for one day, and @ harmonious observance of the occasion secured which shall be creditable to those who celebrate 1, and worthy of the great event commemorated. ———$ Shrewd observers in Utah Territory report that A Dagss Surr For $15.
