THE PRESS AND THE LEGAL PROFESSION

THE PRESS AND THE LEGAL PROFESSION.
We have already anmadverted severely upon
the course pursued by the Democrat towards the
Governor, and we now turn to consider the con-
temptible meanness which has characterized that
paper, in its efforts to drag down to its own level,
the counsel for the defendent, Hon. Aaron Good
rich and NJ. E. Ames, Esq.
These gentlemen appeared for the accused, not
as hired servants to do their masters bidding, but
advocates of justice, of right, of the suprem-
acy of the law.-They had right to be heard
and their speeches should have been correctly re-
ported, but instead of this, in several cases they
were overruled by the Justice, and in the Demo-
crat their remarks were garbled-the testimony
falsifed, and words put into their mouths they
never uttered. But there is a reason for this.
The Democrat editor stands in awe Of them, for
he knows that they are well acquainted with his
perfdious course elsewhere, and in Minnesota
well, and that they can neither be bought nor
driren. Previous to the trial, he deliberately
went to work to forstall public opinion, by pub
fishing malignant article in his paper, which
clearly showed that he was determined to convict
the accused without judge, jury or trial, and when
this article is descanted upon in court, he turns
upon the Counsel with all the fury of fend.
The whole report is stupid caricature of Mr..
Amcs' arguments, and falsfes almost every sem
tence he uttered concocted undoubtedly for the
purpose of making political capital! We ask
the public is this right? Shall venal press thus
prostitute the palladium Of the peoples rights,
the right of speech, without severe rebuke
Who is safe? None that come under the ban of
the editor of the Democrat, none who dare cross
the path of this Justice-lovng journal. None
who have the manhood to stand forth in defiance
of those who pursued by a pack Of blood
hounds that now stand painting weary with the
chase! Foremost among this pack there is
character which Byron has described:
was lurking devil sneer,
MhiCh raised ons q
Aud where his irowncf hatred darkiy fell,
HVpc wilherins fed, anl mercy sighed iarcwel!'
We cannot believe that the community will
justify the course pursued by the Democrat. Its
desire for revenge is great, that justice is per-
vcrted and worthy and respectable citizens are
bcsmeared with its dirty, vcnOmous filth.
Cy"Thc editor of the Dem. says that we pub
lished an ANONYMOUS communication respecting
his former political career. SO we did, and we
would now be glad to hear him deny that the
charges in that communication were false. Will
he deny tha the has ever been Wing and
violent one? Will he deny that he has not changed
his political coat? Will he deny that he did not
seek to prevent the election of the regular nomi-
mated candidates of the Democratic party of this
city? Will he deny that he has not, on more than
one occasion, bent the
"Fckle thrift may follow fawning?'

cy letter in the New York Times, on the
probable effect of the late treaty between the Uni
ted States and Japan, written by gentleman
familiar with the japanese from long residence
in their country, thinks the Importance of the
treaty has been greatly overrated. The Japanse
are extremely averse to any species of trade that
will take away their specie currency, the little
commerce they have being done in the way of
barter. The people of Japan, it seems, have al
ways been content to live upon the products of
their own labor, the mechanic, manufacturer, and
artisan selling their fabrics at home and consul
ming the surplus products of the tilers of the

ance of the war, and to its involving nearly all
Europe in its bloody vortex. If Prussia shall pre-
fer to join Russia against the wishes of the great
mass of her people; the allies will most likely
propose to the Poles to re-establish their King
dom, with the exception Of that part Of it now
claimed by Austria, upon condition Of their unit

There is no doubt but the people of Germany
most anxiously desire to have the power Of Rus
sia curtailed, and her naughty, imperious, dom
ineering tone rebuked while it is equally certain
that the aristocratic portion of Germany, the
Barons, Counts, and petty Princes, warmly sym
pathise with the Autocrat, and look to him as the
great protector Of Legitimacy and the merciless
enemy of alt revolutions and progress.
The heroic courage, and unyielding resolution
displayed by the British troops at the battle of
Inkermann-a courage, herosm, forttude and
resolution which belongs to, and is the pride and
boast of the Anglo Saxon race, have won the
admiration, and called for the warmcst praise
even from those who harbor any but friendly feel
ings towards those who belong to our own race

A NOBLE GIrr.-It is really refreshing, in these
days of selfshness, to find one whose heart is not
callous to the wants of the poor. The gentleman
who has thus generously bequeathed portion of

have the satisfaction of knowing that he has dried

Col. BENToN's PLAN OF THE PACIFIC RAILROAD
The veteran Benton has been lecturing on his ia
vorte theme, in most of the large cities, and his
lectures have been attended by large number
of persons. He thus briefly explains his plan for
building the Pacific Railroad
Now. let us make it. My plan is, to get some
dozens of names in these great cities, known to
the people, and possessed of their confidence
men of means and character-to allow their
names to be put into bill which Congress can
pass without constitutional scruples, giving the
right of way, in one mile wide through its Kan.
sas and Utah Territories to this company, and
others who shall join them-they reserving one
year to accept the grant; in which time double
examination by practical road makers, going out
in summer and coming back in the winter, can
solve in a business way every question which pru-
dent business men ought to have solved--practi-
caIly, expense, settlement, and thepopulation and
cultivation which the support and protection of
the road would require. This is the outline of
the plan, requiring but few details to ell it up;
and of all which principle should be, no aid
from the United States except as a customer, when
she pleased, paying like other customers.

GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

Soon after the delivery of the Message, yester-
day, we issued it in an extra and sent it to our
subscribers.-We have not time this morning to
speak of it as We could wish, but laying aside
partizan feeling, we pronounce it an able and we'll
written document, rejecting credit upon the Ex-
ecutive and honor upon the Territory over which
ne presides. The recommendations are salutary,
and if acted upon by the Legislature, cannot fail
but benefit our citizens. 1t was we'll delivered,
and we think left good Impressions upon the mem
bers of both Houses. We shall allude to it more
at length in our next.

A BRITISH RAILWAY IN THE CRIMEA.-A rail-
way is about to be constructed between Balakla-
va and the camp before Sevastopol. The Eng
lish government has accepted the offer of Mr.
Peto and some other distinguished railway con-
tractors to send out 10000 tons of rails, with a
body of five hundred men to construct the line,
which they have undertaken to complete within
three weeks after their arrival in the Crimea.
The contractors are to manage the whole matter
with their own men, and, when the railway is
completed, they will hand it over to the army at
the exact net cost. They will not except single
shilling for their labor, management or the use of
their capital.

An ENORMOUS PENALrY.-In one of the New

OO0, it being the penalty for the erection of hous
es in the city, without brick partition walls. The
law says the builder of such house shall forfeit
$50 for every day " house shall remain without
PARTITION" and as Mr.. Harrison built the houses
in 1851, the penalty has reached this enormous
amount. The fine goes to the fire department,
which has instituted the suit.
There are bylaws of the city in regard to the
erection end removal of buildings and other mat
ters, which provide for an accommodating fine,
and which are as neglected as the New York law

look out for breakers-they are coming. Save
your loose change-you will want it to buy bread
with before Spring. Deny yourselves the pleas
ure of attending Balls and Suppers, and you will
not regret it. The idea abroad in our community
that the depression of all sorts of business East,
will not materially affect here, is an erroneous
one. When the first brick to line is struck, the
others generally fall, and the last will feel the
shock as severely as the frst-in fact more so.-
Husband your resources then. Study economy,
so that when the storm comes, you will be pre-
pared to meet it.

Disclosure Of an Effort on the part of Forney,
Gushing and the President to Rob The United

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20, 1904.
Disclosure Of an Effort on the part of Fomey,
Cushing and the President to Rob the United
States Treasury Of $4,000.
can send you some rich facts in relation to an
effort made by Forney, Gushing aad the Presi-
dent to force Secretary Guthrie to surrender ille-
gally, $4,000 Of the United States money into
the hands of the proprietors of the Union. At
the close of the last session Of Congress-, the
House passed resolution increasing the pay of
the employees of the House 90 per cent. Under
this resolution Judge Nicholson and Forney put
in nearly $50, extra pay as public printers.
But Secretary Guthrie refused to allow it, as it
did not come within the intention Of the resolu-
tion of the House. Upon this Forrcy went to the
President, who Immediately wrote note to Guth-
rie, asking him to open the case until he could
obtain the opinion of the Attorney General. This
request was complied with, and Gushing wrote
out long argument, fortified by corroborating
opinion from distinguished politician Of Alaba-
ma. With these decisions Forney again called
on the Secretary, and demanded the $4,000 /;
but the old Kentuckian still refused, even with
out stopping to read Cushing's long rgmaroe.
Said he. 81 am good lawyer as Mr.. Gushing;
but this is not question of law at all it is
simply question of fact, and of the intentions
Of the House in the resolution" AT this For
ney took FIRE, and his language was so far insult
ing, that Guthrie brought his sledge-hammer fist
down upon the table, as he exclaimed, s'Well, I'n
be ID if will pay it, -t-.;
Forney went again to the President, and told
him that &c Old Guthrie says he will be ID if he
will pay that money!" when the President few
into rage, shifting the table with his fist, and
exclaimed ''I'll be id if he shan't pay it.'' lie
instantly dispatched a note to Guthrie, asking
him to call at the White House on the matter Of
the "money due the Union" The Secretary
Immediately obeyed the summons, and after some
little talk, said, Mr.. President am your officer.
but still am responsible to some extent, for the
conduct of my department, and to pay this money
would not only greatly damage my character, but
it is opposed to my sense of right. 1t will give
me great pleasure to resign, either voluntarily or
on receiving letter requesting my withdrawal
from you.''
This bold stand taken by the Secretary, put
Forney, Gushing, and the President to their
trumps. Congress was to meet in twenty days,
and to allow Guthrieto resign at that time, under
such circumstances, would be opening breach
which it would be impossible to close. The mat
ter was, therefore, put off until the end of the
present Congress. These are facts without en-
bellishment or exaggeration. .-.t
