6 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. MONDAY..... --.October 29, 1894. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the comb the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. t7In order to avoid delays, on a a absence, letters to ot be addressed to ected with the o: Imply to THE STAR, or rial or Basiness De} to tenor or purpor Washington has among its inhabitants at least a fair proportion of those who live by the law. Some of them are very good law- vers, many are very much better than the average throughout the country, a few must honestly be classified as inferior. It is to these latter that The American Lawyer addresses itself with considerable vigor and at length. That journal insists that it is he duty of those who undertake to practice ‘aw not only to understand the legal rights snd obligations of persons and property, but to thoruughly know the established rules whereby such rights are to be maintained or such obligations enforeed. The present and most pressing need, therefore, is an accurate knowledge of legal procedure; easy familiarity with the details of court pro- cesses. Having stated this with emphasis, the critic insists that the great body of the profession today is sadly wanting in that essential. This is a country of much Itiga- tion, but it is Litigation of the slowest sort; the Lawyer says that “very often the ques- dion at issue, involving the actual merits of the controversy, is lost to view, and for long periods of time, if indeed not ultimate- ly, is beyond the reach of judicial action.” That such a condition of affairs ts serious aust be at once admitted by all who are acquainted with the working of our courts, yat there has been a tendency to blame the telay upon the unreasonably-slow-moving machinery. The Lawyer does not hesitate 9 charge that the trouble ts mainly due to he ineffictency or chieanery of the legal »rofession as a whole. This is a matter in which the public must surely be interested, or when, through ignorance or any other cause, litigants are compelled to suffer ong delay, they lose confidence in law and jawyere and frequently do themselves tn- justice rather than appeal to the courts which have organized and are maintained for the purpose of dealing equitably with alt who are within their jurisdiction. Support- ing its accusation by an array of figures, The Amertcan Lawyer avers that one-half of the time, expense and labor Incurred by our highest courts in determining the legal questions they could not evade, was spent ‘In correcting the mistake of lawyers, in teaching lawyers how to practice law.” Locally the showing {s not satisfactory, un- less satisfaction can be derived from the statistics which show that thirty-one other states and territories are greater sinners by anything from one to sixteen per cent. fiundreds of young men are being educated ‘or ghe bar In this city and it is more than 4 probability that they are superior as to squipment at graduation to those who study law elsewhere, but there is evidently a sfeat deal of room for improvement. The Cawyer very sensibly says “it ts apparent that if legal science is to preserve its lofty prestige and merit the public esteem which t craves, prompt measures must be taken to Insure that its practitioners be qualified to minister at its shrines.” — 202 Dem s and republicans, followers of Tammany and anti-Tammanyites, are all urying to secure comfort from the extremely hy rezist-ation In New York city. The cogistration pre: ing that which closed on Saturday was lorgely fraudulent, yet this year's registration exceeds that of last year by more than forty-two thousand. Careful serutiny of the figvres by non-partisan eyes indicates, thot thie phenomenal increase in the numbe- of those qualified to vote at the fort'iceming election Is largely among those who have hitherto been without interest in the governraent of New York eity—the men ‘ho stayed away from the polls because hey did not want to associate with the nany undesirable persons who have hitherto deen prominext in matters municipal in a ity where, for many years, the government tas boen co i to the last de Check- ng the registration off by districts, it is ap- varent that Ta neighborhoods show t decided felling off, while in those parts of New York where Tammany is not, there nave been t 2s. From the day when the ned there has been a general imp: ot confined to persons of any on> shade of political bellef—that Tammany wouk at the polls ir elming cefeat > registration t imp and it now seems as though, with a little exertion, the lecent people of New York must surely suc- ceed In driviny the ‘Tammany tiger into a cage wh should b ton. There were fifty-six men employed cn the city post-office building today, The Star's extremely liberal calculation, first made public a month ago, has it that fifty-six able-bodied and willing men could com- plete the structure’ by April 1, 1807. De- velopments during the past two or three weeks show conclusively that 1807 Is sev- ral years too carly. Unless there ts con- siderable increase in the force of artisans snd much more of activity on the part of the contractors and the sub-contractors and the deputy sub-contractors, the new post- office will not be open for the transaction of business be August 17, 1906. It ty now two years, eight months and nine days since the building hy from Mr. Wil- son. Recent news from Wille ap 3 tends to show that M. Jules Verne, the great romancer, was not so far ahead of his time in his culations as the reading public might think.

There 1s skepticism to be met at every new furn of scientific thought, and it is not to be doubted that there will be much scoffing at the thought of fighting battles with the same toys that children use to draw metal boats and swans and fishes to the edges of wash bowls on rainy days. The tendency of the age in matters pertaining to warfare is two fold; first to make war horrible and disastrous, and, secoud, to make it harm- less, The first must precede the second, for as soon as the world learns that war is a hindrance to every phase of national life, the tendency will be to minimize its de- structiveness. Just where the world is today in ‘this regard may never be known until after the great European war, which is. acknowledged by most Continental writers to be inevitable. There will then come a struggle between nations equipped with the finest of murderous tools and the most terrible of machines. That may mark the climax of the struggle between the kill- ing and the sparing tendencies of nations. Then, maybe, will come the military mag- net, to reduce the fatalities of warfare by gently pulling ships out of active service and so rendering an enemy helpless. Be- neath the apparently simple side of this new question there is a very important subject. ——_ _~+e2+- —_ After making remarkably good showing in the rifle competitions that have taken place during the season now almost gone, the rifle team of the District National Guard added materially to its reputation on Sat- urday by the victory which it achieved over the New Jersey state team. The non- existence of a range upon which to practice has been a serious drawback to the local sharpshooters, but they have risen superior to adverse cireumstances and have elevated their reputation to an altitude greater than it has hitherto »ccupied. Such competitions as that which took place on Saturday at Marshall Hall emphasize the difference there is between such professional athletics as Washingtor. knows of and cleanly ama- teur sport. New Jersey’s team is an.espe- clally strong one this year, and in one of the Sea Girt matches in September—where the distances were the same as those shot over on Saturday—succeeded in defeating the local marksmen by a few points. The District score on Saturday reversed the sit- uation, and left the representatives of the national capital on top, with a handsome majority to show for the skill and industry they expended. + 0 New York is so much flattered by a com- pliment from A.
