From the St. Louis Globe- Democrat. A New York court has lately decided that it is perfectly legitimate for « law;er to make his fee dependent upon the outcome of his case; or, in other words, to prosecute a claim for a stipulated share of such sum as may be re- covered. There was a time when this method of maintaining lawsuits was accounted a grave impropriety; but the progress of civilization appears to have made it respectable. It is not to be doubted that a great deal of unneces- sary and troublesome litigation is thus brought about, for the benefit, chiefly, of the attorneys who do that sort of business. In fact, it is very well known that in most of the cases involving claims for damages, particularly against corpor- ations, the lawyer rather than his cient is the real party in interest. That is to say, there are lawyers who invest their professional services in such suits as @ spec If they win, thes appropriate the lion's share of the profit: and if they lose, their clients are ly re- quired to pay the costa. A man having any kind of a cause of action can always find a law- yer who will agree to manage the matter for a certain portion of the It is not in- sisted that the claim be a manif valid and proper one, but only that it have wome degree of technical plausibility, and furnish a chance for argument before the aver- age jury. There are some instances, perhaps, where this practice is an advantage to the poor and defenseless; but it is very much oftener a source of mischief, Thousands of cases which now cecupy the time of the courts could be ami- cably and honestly adjusted without recourse to legal procecdings if the lawyers would consent | to methods of reasonable concession and com- | promise. The simple truth is that the lawyers | find it more remunerative to encourage and | prolong litigation than to act the part of peace- makers; anit the result is that the business of the courts is made idfinitely Jarger than it should be or need be, solely for the benefit of the legal fraternity. In theory the lawyer is supposed to dissuade his client from going to law when the case is of a doubtful nature, but in fact he rarely gives such advice under any eircumstances, He thinks it his professional privilege to swell the docket as much as he can in his own interest, and to incite contention wherever an opportunity is presented to do so, instead of using his influence to prevent it. Nine times out of ten, it is safe to say, the dis- putes and misunderstandings which lead to law- suits might be peaceable and mexpeusively ar- ranged if the lawyers who are consulted with regard to them would recommend their right course. Litigation is unprofitable at best; but the lawyer does not consider it his duty to im- press this fact upon his client, even in cases where he knows that defeat must ensue, | Herr Tisza, who was received witl This does not imply that the lawyers are all leagued together in a systematic effort to in- erease litigation for their own profit, regardless | of the obligations of honor, justice and fair- | ness; but it does signify that as a class they might doa great deal more than they do to promote the peace and welfare of society. The | majority of them are honorable men and good citizens; but at the same time they accept and practice certain views of professional liberty which are not consistent with the true philos- ophy of duty. They do not stop to think that it is in their power to bring about compromises and to lessen the burden of trouble and expe which is represented in the records of the v: ous courts. They may answer that they are not bound to injure their own business in that way; but such a plea is superficial and petti- fogging. If they con serve their clients better by keeping them out of court than by causing them to go there, then they are bound to adopt the former course. There are some lawyers | who take this exalted view of their relations to those who seek their services, but they are not nearly as numerous as they should be. The | pressure of competition bas had a deterio- Tating effect upon the general morality of the profession. There bas been a decided depart- ure from those high standards which once pre- | yailed; and the situation in that respect will be improved only when the present methods of securing business shall be superseded by others of a more diguitied and creditable character. soe, New York Angiomaniacs. From the New York Star. The present stage of Anglomania in New York is not particularly attractive. The men have the surliness of the English without the solidity or good n: It is too much on the surface. Englishmen are curt and reserved in public because they ere afraid of the presump- tion of a class or grade lower than the one they chance tobe born in. They are always on guard in public. From the keeper of a public house to a prince of the blood there is always the same stern and unrelenting endeavor to | keep the man below from climbing up. Hence { the heavily fortified armor of snobbery and austerity. This manner the New York Anglomaniac has succeeded in copying. but the cardinal mistake | be makes is not knowing when to throw it all | off. That is where there is such a difference | between the English snob and the New York | imitator. No matter how austere an English- | man may be in public, the instant that one 1s | alone with him and he is fally satisfied that you have a right to be in his house, he ia gen- jal, frank and hospitable. Not so the Anglo- maniac. He isa cad first, foremost and for- | ever. re. Peer Ore Gladstone Insists on Full Discussion. | ME PROTESTS AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT CUTTING OFF DEBATE ON ATTORNEY-GENERAL WEBSTER. Sir William Vernon Harcourt in the house of | commons yesterday announced that he intended | to challenge the conduct of the government in | placing Irish officials, paid by the public, at | the service of the Times mm connection with | that paper's charges against the Irish members of the house. He also announced that on the | vote for Attorney-General Webster's salary he should ask what state services the attorney- general had rendered during the last nine months, and why any salary should be paid to him. ir. Gladstone denied the right of the Hight Hon. G. J. Goshen, chancellor of the ex- ebequer, to calculate beforehand what time should be allowed for the discussion of the vote. | He said that questions of great delicacy must be discussed, He denied the right of the gov- ernment to take away the right of the house to the time necessary for a full discussion. Sir William Vernon Harcourt, in opposing the motion of Rt. Hon. W. H. Smith, the gov- erument leader, to give precedence to the vote on account until it was passed, accused the ! government of shirking discussion and of try- | img to mtroduce a new and surreptitious form ofclosure. He said that the time was drawing | near when the house of commons would be- | come simply a vestry for the registering of | government transactions. Lord Salisbury spoke at Waterford last even- ing. He declared that nothing short of a vote ot want of confidence would bring the govern- ment to a premature end, and that those who theaght otherwise were amusing themselves with vain dreams. =e eo Mail-Carrier Katie Reimer. From the Atwood Journal. Little Katie Reimer, of Scio, now carries the mail from Atwood to Selden three times each week. The distance is about forty miles, and the trip is made in a buckboard drawn by one pony.

Boston Correspondence Hartford Post. AsI told you would be the case several weeks ago, the bill giving municipal suffrage to women has been defeated in our legislature. The vote stood 127 against and 78 in favor. This is a great dissappointment, but hardly a surprise to the woman suffragists. Itis a curious fact, and one that speaks volumes for the insincerity of the average political platform, that both parties in this state have declared squarely in favor of the full political entranchisement of women. The republicans pronounced them- selves unequivocally in favor of complete vention in 1872, The democratic party declared in favor of it with equai emphasis in their state convention of 1882, and Uncle Ben Butler was elected governor on the platform which con- tained that suffrage plank. Nevertheless, though both parties have constantly declared in its favor, neither party has ever favored it Lia it came to the test of a division on Beacon il An analysis of the vote cast last Tuesday shows that neither party is ready to give wo- men even so much as municipal suffrage. The republican party is being charged by the lead- ers of the women’s cause with ingratitude in not supporting the bill more generously just after the inanguration of a republican mayor of Boston, whose election was secured by the energy and enthusiasm which the women threw into the municipal campaign on the school question. It is probable, however, that the turnout of 20.000 women at the polls last De- cember had the effect, contrary to expectation at the time, of deferring the further grant of political power to women. It aroused the fears of the timid politicians on both sides. The women threw themselves into the municipal contest with a passion—and, it may as well be admitted, with a religious intensity—which ea genuine shock to the nerves of the po- itical leaders. The timorous republican man- agers have long discussed the question at their Saturday club tables, and have for many years dreaded what might happen if women were given the ballot and the Catholic church should waiye the objection which it has always had to their participation in politics, The projection of the parochial school question into our re- cent politics has tended to accentuate this fear, end you may set it down as certain that until this specter is laid woman suffrage will be post- poned in Massachusetts, Cumberland and Boulanger. THE AUTHOR OF ‘‘ MARKED FOR A VICTIM” READS THE GENERAL'S MIND. From the Pall Mall Gazette. Mr. Stuart Cumberland met Gen. Boulanger at Count Dillon's at dinner on Sunday night, when the thought-reader did some very extra- ordinary experiments with the general, In one Mr. Cumberland asked the general to think of the number of days, weeks, months or years he would give M. Carnot. Gen, Boulanger thought, and after a little while Mr. Cumberland said it was six months, which was the exact time the general had in his mind. The most remarkable ‘iment followed, thought-reader experi It was the one in which ‘he asked the general to imagine he was once more on active service, and at the head of an army which he wished to move to a certain place on the continent. For this Liga woag @ map of Eu- rope was placed upon the table. Mr. Cumber- land withdrew for some minutes into an adjoin- ing room, while the oo studied the map, and chose his route. When summoned back the thought reader was blindfolded, and then, — the general by the hand, he very slowly traced with a pencil on the map most accurately the route thought of by the general.

From the Albany Journal, March 18, The Hon. George S. Batchelier, who has ac- cepted the assistant secretaryship of the Treas- ury, was found in his office at the family resi- dence on Elk street this morning. Regarding some of the interviews attributed to him, he said they were incorrect in some instances. Then he gave the following as his statement to the Journal reporter interviewing him: “There is no political significance in my ap- pointment, I did not seek for the place. It came to me unsolicited. I was recommended to the position by Gen. Tracy and Senator His- cock and others. It is neither a Miller appoint- ment nora Platt appointment. Iam nobody's man. Iam a republican. My department of the Treasury is the one throagh which applica- tions for appointments are made, and it must be that everybody knows this, for the mail brings me daily from seventy-five to one hun let- ters asking for positions; besides, the personal applications are constant and innumerable. It should be understood that the appointmentsare made by the Secretary of the Treasury. There are @ great many places to be filled, Civil service rules will be respected. My opinion is there will be numerous changes. Under a re- publican administration official positions belong to and should be filled by republicans, all ques- tions of fitness being equal. GRATIFIED BY SENTIMENTS EXPRESSED. “The reception accorded my appointment by the press of the country,” continued Mr. Batch- eller, “irrespective of party affiliations, has been both a pleasure and a surprise to me.

THE THRILLING EXPERIENCE OF A DARING WHEELMAN AT PASSAIC CITY. Froin the Newark Advertiser. De Witt Roumain, a prominent member of the Wheelmen’s club of Passaic city, N. J., had a miraculous escape from a horrible death the other day. He wheeled down Passaic avenue, and on reaching the Delaware, Lackawanna arid Western railroad crossing he suddenly turned and went spinning down the hard beaten ath between the tracks. He had proceeded at a short distance wh shrill whistle at- tracted his attention to a locomotive which had just rounded a curve ahead and was run- ning rapidly toward him, Roumain was about to dismount when he heard a sharp whistle be- hind. Glancing backward he saw another engine close upon him. To dismount and cross to either side was impossible. The wheelman threw himself backward off his machine, laid down on the ground, and grasping the handles held the bicvcly perpendicularly above him, The trains thundered by without doing dam- age to himself or his wheel. Roumain lives to tell the story, but doesn’t want to take such chances agai: toe A Connecticut Blue Law. THE MAYOR AND ALL WHO ATTENDED THE PARNELL MEETING LIABLE TO ARREST, A New Haven special to the New York Sun, March 18, says: One of the blue laws enacted by the Puritans in 1784 provided that “Any person who shall be present ataconcert of music, dancing, or other public diversion on Sunday, or on the evening thereof, shali be fined $4.” Some of the most prominent citi- zens of New Haven narrowly escaped arrest be- cause of having violated this law on Sunday evening. The mer brothers, of New York, engaged the New Haven opera house, and ad- vertixed to give a spiritualistic ’ seance. As the time for opening the theater ap- proached hundreds congregated in the street and on the sidewalk anxious to secure good seats, Just as the doors were about to be opened a messenger from City At- torney Dailey arrived with a formal notice to the manager that all who attended the enter- tainment would be prosecuted. The Palmers consulted and fiaally Mayor Peck was asked to issue a permit for the entertainment. The mayor consulted the corporation counsel, Prof. W. K. Townsend, who informed him that he had no authority to iasue a permit. The Palm- ers then abandoned the attempt. Mayor Peck and other leading citizens express the opinion that every citizen who attended the ‘nell meeting on Sunday evening, which was pre- sided over by the mayor himself, violated the law in question. Unquestionably the Parnell meeting was a “public diversion,” and now people are wondering whether Mayor Peck and 2,000 other promment citizens who attended the meeting, including Congressman Vance, who delivered an basins will be arrested. A Dinner to American Prelates. WORDS OF PRAISE AND ENCOURAGEMENT FOR THE NEW CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY PREFECT. The American college in Rome gave a grand dinner Tuesday evening in honor of the leaders of the American pilgrims. Many prelates were present. Bishop Keane, the president of the new Catholic university at Washington, spoke in English, Latin and French, His remarks were much applauded. The pope's vicar, Car- dinal Parocchi, delivered @ powerful Latin oration on bebalf of the pope. He expressed the pope’s admiration for American institution: and spoke of the deep interest taken by hi holiness in the birth of the Washington uni- versity, which he regarded as one of the chief glories of his pontificate. Cardinal Schiaffino eulogized the Washington university as the crowning work of Christian education—a work that was destined to display America to the world as a living exemplifica- tion of perfect accord between the highest learning and science and the Catholic faith. Mgr. Jacobini traced America’s wonderful progress, and contrasted the strong and vigor- ous life of America’s institutions and people and of the Catholic church in America with the sadly painful situation of the people and church in the old world. Rector Pacquet, of the Quebec university, tendered his congratulations on the birth of a sister university and wished it prosperity, Cardinal Mazella wrote, as an American citizen of Georgetown college and a Jesuit, regretting his inability to be present. ————ee A Pretty Aeronaut Weds a Fortune.

In presenting THE EVENING STAR in its new Grese and improved form, attention is called to ite peculiar merits as a news and family paper, ae well as to the extraordinary advantages It affords to advertisers. aligh professional authority—which in this im stance only expresses public sentiment—has de clared that “THERE IS NO BETTER EVENING NEWSPAPER IN SHE UNITED STATES” tag THE Stan But even more than this may be justly claimed fori, In all that relates to the composi+ on of @ first-class journal, devoted to mews, dusie ness, family and local affsirs, it takes rank with the very best in the world, and in the special qual ities named it is not surpassed by any. With alert, intelligent and irapartial special correspoud- ents at all centers of interest, by the free use of the telegraph, and with the superior mechanical facilities with which ite office is equipped, it covers: the whole field of news, and is able to presenta reflex of the entire civilized world each day up to the very moment of going to press. In these re spects THE Stak is absolutely without a rival, and fearlessly challenges comparison, within range of the territory it occupies. In its treatment of public affairs it is impartial and aims to be fair end just to all taithsand inter ests, and it is absolutely independent, in the high= est and broadest sense of the term. In the publi- cation of news it records facts without bias or color, and in the expression of editorial opinion is is as steady and firm in advocating and promoting only what it believes to be right, as it is persistent in condemning and opposing what it believes to be Wrong. It is, in brief, wholly untrammeled by any other interest or coftsideration than that of serving the public, and securing as far as possible the wel+ fare of the family circle, and of society as a whole, ‘With these general objects in view, what Tas Stam specially concerns itself with, and that te Which it gives its best efforts, may be briefy de- scribed as THE INTERESTS OF WASHINGTON AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. To these the paper has been unswervingly devoted since its present management assumed its direction, nd this policy will characterize the future career of the paper as prominently as it hes marked its past history. 48 AN ADVERTISING MEDIUM. ‘The EVENING STAR claims to be, and can com Clusively establish thet it I8, the best local advertise tng medium in the world! NO OTHER PAPER PRINTED CIRCULATES 80 MANY COPIES IN THE CITY OF ITs PUBLICATION, IN PROPORTION TO POPULATION. It ig hardly too much to say that it is read by the mem- bers of every family in the District of Columbia. It is peculiarly the favorite of the home circle, and 18 no less esteemed in the counting room and the Work shop. It follows, therefore, that as an agent of publicity within the National Capital and con- tiguous territory it has no rival An announce- ‘ment in ts columns practically meets all eyes, and, in proportion to the service it gives, ite advertising rates rank with the lowest in the country. Being low, they are rigidly adhered to. There only re- mains to be added on this head, as an indication of the esteem in which the paper is held by the business public, which best understands its own interests in this respect, that, both in the number of subscribers and of new advertisements printed, each year ln the bistory of the paper shows a large umber of new advertisements printed 39,693, against an average daily circulation of 25,427 copies and 38,504 new advertisements dur- ing the corresponding period in 1887. In short, THE STAR has never taken a backward sep, and its conductors are determined that it never shall vakeone. 1B WEEKLY stan Is especially commended to that portion of the reading public who desire to be keptadvised of affairs at the seat of government, and are #0 situs ated as not to need or care for a dally paper. Itis in every respect @ first-class family journal Ite news is carefully collected, and may be depende@ upon to be fresh andauthentic. Its scientific, Hte. rary, household and agricultural departments are edited with the view of meeting the wants and | tastes of an intelligent and reading public, and of affording assistance to the student and those im | pursuit of general information. Some of the most noted and learned men and women of the country are contributors to its columns. Its ample tele, Braphic arrangements and full corps of spediad correspondents enable it to lay before its readers every week all important happenings, foreign an@ domestic, and expecially «uch political, social, an@ current events as are worthy of note, in the states, of Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, North Care, Mpa, and thove adjacent therew. ‘The low price at which it is published, ONLY ONE DOLLAR A YEAR, brings it within the reach of all.
