IT 1§ sometimes necessary to fight fire with fire. It might not be a bad idea for the next legislature to pass a law com- pelling the railroads to pass all dole- gates to the state conventions of parties that have heretofore polled 70,000 votes. ESTABLISHED usage entitles every man who has served faithfully and efficiently to an endorsement by his party for a second term. Any official who has shown himself incompetent, dishonest or recklessly negligent should be turned down and made to step out. STRANGERS reading of the resolutions offered almost daily by the various sil- ver camp senators calling upon the sec- retary of the treasury for information that is alrcady in common ecirculation must be surprised at the apparent ig- norance wthu free coinage advocates in the sena THE republicans of Omaha must put on their thinking caps if they desire to make sure of the election of a republican mayor this fall. Assuming that no can- didate will present himself whose record or character would throw the party on the defensive, the main question is who is the most available? In other words, which of the canaidates will poll the largest vote? IT 18 to be expected of course that the stalwart swashbuckler who crawled under the tent through the Second ward after he had been defeated 1n a square up-and-down contest in his own ward, in his own polling place, manned by his own election board, will follow up his great victory by asking that ho be made chairman of the Douglas delogation to the state convention, OCTOBER is now here but so far not a word has come from the president on the subject of tariff reform, Ouly afew weeks ago he said in his message, convening an extra session of congress,that he con- sidered the subject of such importance a8 to demand the summoning of congress not later than Septembeor. The presi- dent no longer seems so anxious to im- press his own individual views upon that demcoratic tariff legislation. — THE fact that the receints of the gov- ernment from the postofice have shown an aotual falling off, as well as those from the customs houses, is additional evidence of the disastrous effects of the recent financial stringencyNipon internal commerce. It supplements the reports of decreased shipments by rail, as com- pared with similar periods of previous years, and emphasizes the necessity of immediato governmental aotion looking toward & completo restoration of con- fidence and monetary stability.

To organiza the fleld a Maxwell out his until delegates have been secured by railvoad boodle or state house patronage has been from the outset the plan of th conspirators who hat the porate forces and their confoderates at tho state Tort to depose Judge Maxwell. The strenuous the railroad and ring to bring candidates into flom every has not proved a howling suceess, It is to the credit of the Nebraska bar and beneh that only half a dozen lawyers have yielded to the temptation of secur- ing notoriety and rendering themselves sorviceable to thei by entering the lists well. domand retirem st and w enov L supporters massed or house ina desperate ef managers state hous the ficld populous county corporate emplo) gainst Judge Max- The field as it s now composed con- sists of the following candidates: Mr. J. E. Cobbey of Gage, who is known chiefly gs compiler of a very wretched revision of the statutes of Nebraska and a bavrister with very moderate practico in Beatrice. In his own county he is generally diseredited and could not be elected county judge, The idea of his becoming supremo judge doubtless has its origin in the same quarters that hatched out the candidacy of straw men and corporation dummies in Dodge and Douglas counties. Next in order comes Joseph Frick, a lawyer and manufacturer from Fremont, sired by the Elkhorn Valley railroad and groomed by Richards and his Man Friday of the Fremont & kkhorn Trilune. Mr. Frick isa lawyer of fair ability. but no principle if we may judge him by the methods pursued to procure his elevation to the supreme bench. Then comes Judge M. L. Haward of Neoraska City, the associate of John L. Webster in the defense of the impeache state oflicials and a railroad republican from away back. Judge Hayward isa good lawyer, fully qualified for the place to which the impeached, acquitted and reprimanded officials are anxious to ele- im. He is also admirably suitcd to fill a long felt want which the rail road and other corporations have had to own the supreme court. In all the polit- ical contests that have ever occurred in this stato he has been their steadfast supporter and champion and he has fairly carned his spursas theiv preferred candidate. Close to Mr. Hayward in the affection of railroad republicans comes Hon. O. A. Abbott of Grand Island. He is also an able lawyer. The railroads do not hire any other kind unless they have some nasty job that requives a shyster or a game of hide and seck that wantsadummy. Mr. Abbott was for years the attorney of the Burlington railroad at Grand Tsland, although at this time it is claimed they have luid him off for reasons best known to General Autocrat Holdrege. Mr. Abbott was for one term licutevant governor and set the prece- dent for 2d Carnes, Agec and Tom Majors in converting the senate nto a corpors tion stronghold, from which the people can be defied. st and also most inoffensive of this galaxy comes M Clinton Powell of Omaha, who is charitably presumed to be afilicted with a temporary hallucina- tion that he is cut out for a supreme judge, when in fact he has been trained as a schoolmaster with a smattering of law thrown in. Mr. Powell is ed by John L. Webster and groomed by Char- ley Groene. He is as innocent of guile as a school girl, else he would bhave dis- covercd by this time that he has been roped in by a brace of political monte sharps, who are taking him to Lincoln on a snipe hunt, where he will hold the sack while thoy bag the same. In real- ity it is too bed that a young man, who has up to this time borne the best ch, actor, should allow his insane ambition for notoriety to lead him to become o party toa despicable and most disreput- able intrigue, which can only terminate in his humiliation and discredit. To sum up, the field against Maxwell is composed of railroad lawyers and railrond dupes. The forces that they muster ave for the most part either mer- cenaries or railroad camp followers with a sprinkling of poor farmers and work- ing men who are enlisted in a bed cause because they are under obligation to corporation men. And with such a mot- ley crowd it is proposed to defeat the choice of the republican party and overthrow popular self-government. THE QUESTION OF STA1E BANK ISSUE! The house committee on banking and currency has commenced consideravion of the bills before it providing for the vepeal of the 10 per cent tux on state bank issues. Perhaps the most impor- tant of these 1s the measure introuuced by Representative Oates of Alabama, which differs from the others i the im- portant respect that it proposes to place the reconstructed state banks under federal supervision. As explained by Mvr. Oates his bill provides, in the first place for the suspension of the tax, but only toward such banking institutions as to certain conditions, Those conditions ave, first, that befoie a state bank shall be permitted to issue circulation free of tax it shall deposit with the state treasurer or some other safe depository an amount in state, county ov municipal bonds of a solvent charactor, or of government bouds or lawful money, equal to the amount of its circulation, and, second, thatin no single state shail the toital amount of this kiad of cireulation aggregate more than #5 a head of the population of that state. The view of the author of this meas- ure s that the first proposition would keop the state banks as much under fed- eral supervision as the national banks now are. The tax on their cireulation being suspended only under conditions, the special agents of the treasury would be entitled to examine the ac- counts of the banks with the state treus- urers, not only to see that proper de- posit had been made, but also to see that that it wus mainteined av the proper subscribe | adequate figure. The solvency or worth of the uld also become a matter for the approval of the treasury ofticials, This appears plausible and it isquite possible that such a system of state banks as the Oates bill provides for would work smoothly and be safe so long as the conditions were complied with, but how would this probably be? How long would the states be disposed to allow sort of federal vision over banking institutions deriv- ing their existence from the state? And as to the proposed supervision it would probably amount to nothing, because it would require an army of examiners to guard against a violation of the condi- The treasury cannot ty the national banks, owing to the force of examiners being too small, and with a host of state bauks tobe looked after several timos the present force of examiners would be necessary. But the great objection to repealing or suspending the tax on state bank is that no matter what conditions may be imposed they would be ecomplied with only so far as the states should be dis- posed to regard them aod they would be modified or abandoned from year to year by congress until the state banks were left absolutely without restraing upon the issue of currency, so far as the general government is concerned. The repeal or suspension of the 10 per cent tax in state bank issues would be the first step toward a restoration of the ante-war systom of a state bank cur- reney It is understood that a majority of the committee on banking and envrency are unfavorable to repealing the tax, and Mr. Springer, chairman of the com- mittee, has soveral times publicl corded his opposition to repeal. Recently he was reported to have said that the tax would not be removed by the present congress. The banking and currency committee proposes to enter into an ex haustive examination of the whole sub- jeet, and if this be done it will not fail to find conclusive arguments against repealing the tax. PECULATIVE SUITS. tly long any super= tions, tention issues re- ETIQ LAW In defending the principal provisions of the code of medical etiquette in his very interesting article upon ‘“Medical Etiquette, Quacks and Sceret Reme- dies,” in the October o;wm Mr. Ernest Hart secks some justification for the at- titude of the medical profession toward nostrums and their promoters in the similar code of etiquette which he says 15 observed among the legal profession. Ths ference, however, is one rather more suggestive than convincing. “In talking this matter over recently,” says he, ‘“a distinguished American lawyer mentioned to me particular cases of legul etiquette in which, as if often the case with our special code of medical otiquette, the element of public advan- tage was not at first sight apparent. Thus it is a rule of legal etiquette that no lawyer should undertake a specula- tive suit; that is to say, one in which he has a personal and financial interest in its success and in which his payment is to depend upon a favorable verdict.” Roference to this particular rule is perhaps unfortunate for Mr. Hart, be- cause if he were more familiar with con- ditions on this side of the Atlantic he would know that it is regarded more in the breach than in the observance. It is a genoral custom among men of the legal profession not to appear in the prosceutionor defense of their own cascs, just as there is among men of the medi cal profession to call in others when they thomselves nced medical advice. But there is no clement of public ad- vantage in instances of this kind. The lawyer or the physician has found by experience that when ongaged upon cases affecting him personally~he is apt to overlook matters that would be per- fectly evident to a trained outsider. The reason that the lawyer does not, as a rule, manage his own case is that he thinks it will be better managed by some one else. . But the example just cited is ovi- dently vot in point, because the lawyer there would receive no payment at all. Ho is the litigant and his intevest in the outcome is the same as that of every oth litigant. What Mr. Hart has in mind is the case which a lawyer undertakes to prosccute upon a contingent fee, The entire fee may be contingent or only a part—so long as any portion of his com- pensation depends upon success the suit is, from the lawyer's standpoint, a spee- ulative one. Lot us ask how many law- yers ave now practicing who have not had cases of this kind? How many of them would not take cne if now offered with a reasonable prospect of success? And if, is undoubtedly the case, the great majoraty of lawyors eagerly take up such cases, what then becomes of the so-called rulo of legal etiquetto? Whatever may have been the uni- written code, there is no such rule ob- served in this country, and there is no ad reason for its observance, The only purpose of retaining a law- yer at a pecuniary compensation is to secure the use of his services in behalf of the litigant 'What better way of en- listing his best efforts than by inciting a real interest in the case? And how can a real interest in the cuse be more easily ereated than by makiog the lawyer's remuneration depend upon a successful outcome? Censider a case in wnich the feo is fixed, Ifthe lawyer is absolutely certain that he will receive the same pay whether he wins or loses, he is not apt to give more than a perfunctory service. If his client is poor, and he knows that he will have difficulty in col- leeting his fee unless the suit turns out favorably, be feels again the same spec- ulative element, although the fee is not nominglly contingent, Regarded from the standpoint of en- couragement to litigation, the specula- tive suit seems to be in line with - publi policy. A reputable lawyer must have @ reasonable belief in the justice of his client’s cause before he will consent to tuke the work upon such terms. Onthe other hand, s sujtor insistent upon prose cuting another,” unmindful of pessible results, will have to guarantee payment to his lawyer il he wishes to have pro- fessional aid. The rule, then, against speculative suits has no adequate justifi- now give | | eation for its existenco and it s to this | that must bo wséribod its gencral disro- gard. Referense to unobserved rules of legal etiquettecan have little weight in support of tottering provisions of the medical code MR, CHURCHILL slipped a cog when he announced *‘the Honorable Phil Win- ters," to the eosunty conyention. Phil has never honored anywhere by anybody and is not likely to be for sev- eral years to ‘eome. There is honor among thieves, and there ought to be among politicians. When Mr. Winters called at this office and voluntarily an- nounced his intention to support Max- well in the eonvention and pretended to speak for two other delogates from his ward, whon in reality he was playing the despicable roll of stool pigeon and decoy, he gave abundant proof that there was not an atom of honor or decency in his makeup. K expects to cover $3,000,000 into the state treasury as this year's pro- ceeds of the collections under the e latcral inheritance tax law. The lucra- tivencss of this means of raising a reve- nue will be one of the chief features to commend it to the consideration of the various state lo buen is islatures, Its general adoption would give no litile relief to taxpayers who are laboring under the burdens of state taxation. The field of the inheritance tax belongs peculiarly to state finance, and is one from which the federal government should be ex- eluded. 1715 to be regretted that the United States cannot have its decennial census begun and completed under the direc- tion of the same man. The work com- prised in our census is such that it can- not but suffer with every change in the personnel or system under which it is compiled. The successors of Superin- tendent of the Census Porter are cer- tainly capable men, but such frequent changes in that important offic are not calenlated to improve the vesults of the combined labors of three census super- intendents, IT MAY be consoling to know that the United States is not the only country which is likely tosuffer from faulty con- struction of some of its naval vessels, having ample company in that respect in British and Germannavies. But that does not excuse the American naval architects to whom the blame is attrib- uted.

Kansas City Times: The letter of Presi- dent Cleveland to Governor Northen ought finally to quiet the carers and gossip-mon- gers.

But the shifting and trading politicians seems to be unable to comprehend steadfastness of purpose and honest consistency as possible ou the part of men in public life. Chicago Record: Mr. Cleveland’s ietter to Governor Northen ou the silver question reveals nothing new in the president’s atti- tude unless it be an increased fixity of pur- pose and an ardent deprecation of any com- promise in the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman law. But it defines that attitude more clearly and succinctly than before and rings onc note which de- serves to be heard now, and must bo heard when the repeal bill has been enacted. Atlanta Constitution: Tne lotter of Pres- ident Cleveland to Governor Northen leaves the democrats of the south as much in the dark as ever except as to one point—namely, that the president is emphatically opposed t0 any movement on the part of the people of this republic toward establishing aud maintaining a currency system of their own, suited to their own needs and thew own re sources, ‘The president’s position ou this point is clear and unmistakable. Beyond this, his attitude on the silver question is still' a mystery. e AGITATING CHLINESE CLUSION.
