1t is q long-sccepted proverb that cob
blers' children and fsrriers' horses are
always ill-shOd, and that as a general
thing nobody takes care Of his own
affairs. But lawyers have usually been
exempt from TINS reprORch, and Mr..
Dickens was somewhat sharply critic

now comes from England. Lord St.
LsonArds, some time lord-chancellor of
England. died not long ago, and they
are now offering q reward OF $500 for
the discovery OF his will. A novelist
might we'll hesitate 20 make such draft
upon the credulity Of his readers as tC
say that a lord chancellor, OF all men in
lhp world, should imperil the descent OF

such q manner that it could not be found
after his death.

Among the new rules recently
adopted by the Chicago board of trade,
was one prohibiting members from
trading before nine o'clock in the morn.
ing or after four O'Clock in the after
noon. 1t became apparent yesterday
that members were disregarding this
rule, and trading as usual. In conse.
auence Of this fact, and because it seems
unlikely that such trading can be pre-
vented, President Armour and Director
Wheeler yesterday rendered their resig'

AN "ANXIOUS STUDENT"

Among the begging letters with which TIE
TRIBUNE's mailbag is stuffed is all appeal
which merits consideration. Ii comes from a
young man who was ready for college year
ago, but who has been compelled to support
his widowed mother and her children. Ho
feels that he is condemned to dull, hopeless,
common place life. The ardOr is going out Of
him; but his hopes die hard. lie thinks that
if somebody would lend him four hundred dol
lars year he could go to college, educate
himself for literary work, and then pay his
debts and make home for his mother and the
children. A special professional training would
be beyond his reach, but no is sure that he
could succeed in journalism. lilo makes this
appeal:

CORPORATION COTNSEL-POLTCE

Mr.. Z. Delafield Smith, the last conspicuous
relic of the Tweed regime, cannot complain
that his case has been suDmarily dealt with.
lIr. Smith enjoyed the dubious distinction of
having been selected from the ranks OF the
Republicans by the last member Of the dis
solving Ring in the last days of his
power and the commission from Dir.
Oakley Hail. which was early recalled by Mayor
Wichham, has been finally cancelled by the
very deliberate approval of Gov. Tilden..
1t is to the discredt of the Republicans of
th. city that they continued to support Mr..
Halls man, and that in the work of purifica
ton, Mayor Wickham could gain from
them no support, ut the cost OF the
petty partisan advantage of havng-even
on such terms--an administration man
in city Office Mr.. Smith was unquestionably
man ready to uso tho pablo patronage for
his private ends. He had no special quail
tications for this place; he was specially
disqualified for it by the manner of
his appointment, by his methods for at
tempting to retain it, and by the utter
lack of confidence in him which was early
forced upon the Mayor. 1t has been one of
the special difficulties by which Mayor Wickham

city good government, that for over six mouths
of his term, at the period when he most needed
assistance, he has, by the delay in action upon
his charges against Mr.. Smith, been utterly
deprived of tho legal counsel to which
he was entitled. The most malig-
nant partisan cannot accuse Gov. Tilden
of acting with undue haste, or without
the fullest and calmcst consideration of all
that could be said Sin the accused officers
favor He finally decides that acts by tho late
Corporation Counsel are established which
amount to causes for removal of tho nature
contemplated by law, and would at least be
sufficient to induce private client to
change his counsel We should think so.
The private client who, under the cir
cumstances, would have retained counsel
appointed by the representative of tho men
that robbed him, would have been fit candi-
date for lunatie asylum. The Governors
action il just. and both no and Mayor Wick
ham deserve the public thanks for it.
Mr.. Whitney, whom the Mayor promptly
appoints TO tho vacant place. is a trained
lawyer, Of excellent antccedents, ability. and
character. As might have been expected, he
is Democrat, but Democrat of the pro-
gressive school, well represented by his father
in-law, Henry d. Payne, in Ohio, and is
identified in city matters with the admirable

PERSONAL NOTIFIES.

The inNatiOnists of Ohio never open their
mouths in public without bitter denuncatiOns
of the motives of those who oppose their rabid
follies. They are not content to call every one
fool who believes that a dollar should be
worth hundred cents. They spend very lit
tie time in trying to show that this is great
and growing country, and that therefore its
financial policy should be emancipated from
the thralldOm of European principles and En-
glish mathematics. They have almost ceased
to assert, after that distinguished economist,
John A. Logan, that two and two may make
four among the effeto aristOcrats of the Old
World, but that among an untamed democracy
like ours two andtwO may make as much as
they dashed please. The orators of the Allen,
Cary, and Ewing sort prefer to rouse
up their hearers by jumping nimbly
over any such thing as discussion
of principles, and by accusing those
who differ from them of selfish and greedy
motives in 30 differing. IL any newspaper
denounces their whirling insanity they say it
is owned in Wall Street. If man of respecta-
bility and standing refuses to join them in
their drunken crusade against common sense
and common justice, they CALI him a cold
hearted monopolist who is wringins living
from the sweat and blood OF the people.

policy which the Mayor amid many let's and
hinderances, has been trying to enforce. In his
new position he will be able to give the Mayor
moro effective assistance than heretofore, and
may always be relied upon for honest
and strong work in the interests OF tax
payers and of good government. The Mayor
has missed no opportunity thus far. and made
no mistake in the matter Of appointments.
At every chance he has replaced one OF
the old trading set with fresh live
man of character and capacity, selected with
reference to his fitness for the work, on pre-
cisely the principle on which a merchant would
select the heads for the different departments
of his business.
Our readers know that among the very best
of these appointments we have reckOned that
of Gen. Badly Smith, on the Police
Board. The present condition of affairs
in that Board vindIcates our confidence,
and shows the Mayor what we may fairly
claim farther at his hands. If Gen. Badly
Smith has any evidence to warrant his assault
upon lis fellow Commissioners last Saturday
and we do not believe he made it
without the ampest evidence-there is an
opportunity hero for the Mayor to submit to
unworthy officers
The Police Board is the rotten spot in our
municipal government. For years it has been
without title to public confidence, partly from.
intrinsic wOrthlessness among its members,
partly, we fear. from more active causes.
Mayor Havemeycr scaled the doom of his adj
mnistration when he deliberately betrayed the
hopes of roformers by selecting Police Board
of the worst possible partisan character
instead of one composed of citizens
of the highest standing and ability, not
active in ward politics, and disposed to manage
the police in the interests of the city rather
than in the interests of party. Before his
death he realized the mistake, but every
laundering effort he made at patching
up the Board only ended in worse results.
That Messrs. Matsell, VOorhis, Disbecker, and
the rest should have had control of the police
of the first city on the continent was bur-
losque on municipal government. Mayor
Wickham has shown that he appreciated the
situation by the appointment Of Gen. Smith.

We give it np Truth is stranger than fiction. We
don't think that Wilkie Collins himself could man
age harolne with seven husbands all but one living
and lively-and h. could, if anybody. She resides
TOR did before sho fed at LeavenwOrth, and her
name it is Mrs. Cenwel-Wicks- Cross Bowers, with
two unknown aggravations. One Of the husbands Is
dead-we are not informed which-perhaps old Joe
BoNers-but it Is OF no consequence. Cenwell Is the
present actually installed bOsom's lord of this multi
gamic dame. Wicks priaceps and heads the cata-
logue A. ID. 1889 was his nuptial year, and Bruins
wick, Mo-, saw the ceremony. George Cross of
Ravenna Mercer County, espOused her next, regard
less of the continued existence of Wicks. Gross,
ured by tho love of gold, went off to Colorado, and
tempted by gay German lieutenant. Mrs. Cross be-
came for five days. Mrs. Lieutenant. But this war
rior deserted her at Atchison. Then she went back
to No. Cross. but she probably couldn't bear him,
for speedily find her. IIymen, and Joe Bowers to-
gether at tho old accustomed altar. He didn't
prove Bowers of bliss however. Then in rapid
succession she espoused the two unknown agra
vaticns winding up with No. 7, who is printer
named Cenwell and very sorry we are that of
the ancient and honorable craft should be shame
fully abused. Cenwell is described al" "a small
dark completed man, with small eyes and de-
formed shoulder" The dark-oomplected Cenwell
went away with the mach married matron.
III it were not for this circumstance the
chances are that this enterpIsing creature
has now her No. 8. She is depicted rs "a deli
cate, neat little woman, with auburn
rhglets." For all that, We consider the husband
who is dead NO. p the best of Of the lot. Before
his demise, no became the possessor of a lead mine
