Value Of Legal Services.


A singular cass has been on trial in
the San Francisco courts for the past
two weeks, being suit to recover $685.
900 for legal services. The plaintiff in
this case is George w. Tyler. muscu-
lar lawyer of that city who defended
Mrs. Laura Fair. the golden haired
man-killer, on the occasion of her &C.
quittal; and whose thumbless left hand
bears witness to fearful hard rough
and tumble fight with Billy Burke. in
the early days of Yreka. The defendant
is Mrs. Anna A. Pratt, wife of one O.
G. Pratt. formerly lawyer in Oregon
and subsequently District Judge in
San Francisco where he has made a
great deal of money in dead men 8
bones-as executor of estates whose
heirs are not always to be found. He
owns one ranch in Butte county. alone.
worth $3.50. 900. His practice is said to
be worth $50. 900 per year.
About two gears ago. Mrs. Pratt sued
the bland and sffable Judge for di-
vorce on the ground of his affinity for
the charms of another lady whose con-
dition was that of "neishe wife, maid
nor widow" The case was compro-
missed. as Mrs. Pratt demanded half the
Judges estate and only got about one
fourth, of it. And now comes the mod.
est Tyler with a demand for $99. 900 for
his services as counsel. Some men
place very high estimates on their ser
wees. He was less than year in OBJ
tanning the divorce, nor does it ap-
pear in evidence that he was obliged
to employ counsel to assist him in his
labors. The following from Col. Barnes
was good: "While Mrs. Pratt wanted
the divorce and the division her letters
to Tyler always concluded Yours, CRATE
fully Yours. affectlOnately;' after she
had got the divorce and tie division
she wound mp with Yours. respectful
JJ,' and Yours. and SO forth. ="
So goes the gilded misery of that
great city wht Sc millionaries have an
anatomical museum of private lite in
nearly every house. Better to have
ages of poverty than one year of wealth
accompanied by results like these.

Ethics of Trade.

It is crrious how differently Ameri-
cans regard the value of trade mark
or patent. When they first bring ont
an article. no pains are spared to make
it as good as it cap be made and in
every way worthy of patronage. But
inst as soon as the article gains a repu-
tation. then cheap materials are en-
ployed in its manufacture and an effort
Is made to make fortune in year and
then go into something else.
Some four years ago. firm in San
Francisco obtained the agency OF q Ten
nessee distillery. the whisky from which
commanded a ready sale. Now the very
same brand Is miserably inferior mix
ture. only fit to send men 10 the mad
house or penitentIary. Townsend's q
Sarsaparilla was an excellent blood
purifier when frs, introduced. Now it
is only a mixture of molasses and water
favored with winteigreen. and put ur
at cost of ten cents per bottle. includ-
ing labels and wrappers. Cheating
thus becomes matter Of every day life
in too many branches of trade.
In England. Young men are brought
up differently. There. the man who
cheapens or deteriorates the quality of
anything made by himself, is set down
for a lunatic. A trade mark there, if
the article Is possessed of any merit
whatever. is fortune to a man and II
legacy 10 his children. Look at the
great breweries of Barclay. Perkins Il
Co., or Guiness & Co.; do you suppose
that any fame til y may have gained
would induce them to deteriorate what
they make. for the sake of mere tell
porary profit +? On the contrary. it
would only stimulate them to improve
it in the hope of increasing their trade.
We must educate our youth up to a
differenu standard of mercial NOR
ality, before we can hope to realize the
solid prosperity which characterizes
European commerce.

The "silver mnd springs" in Oregon
have about subsided. We hear nothing
more OF it. But that silver was found
in mud spring there, we have NO
doubt. Then the question arises, who
put it there? 1t never came there by
any natural means. Thorpe Il Leathers
had great deal to say about it when
they first came here but found they
couldn't work that and the artificial
stone. too. So they hung to the latter
as paying the best. We guess that with
their exit ends all hope Of millions in

The Public Printing.

Tho Public Printing.
The time approaches when the
printing contract gratuitous lin .
horny granted the lntelhgencer will
expire; and we suppose that the
farce Of putting in sealed proposals
will be re-enacted. 1t may not be
generally known but the advertising
business in Seattle is probably done
at lower prices than in any other
city of its size and importance in
America. There is not business
house in this town which advertises
in all three papers, but would have
to pay as much to either the Alta,
Call or Bulletin as it pays to all
three here, for the same space occu-
pied.
Now. if men are to do business for
the public let them proceed by some
method recognized as legitimate in
business circles. If the county is
entitled to have its work done at any
less cost than a private individual,
we fail to see 1t. Nor do we know
of any man whose patriotism per-
mits him to charge cash figures for
his work when he knows that his
compensation is to be in scrip that
has fuctuating value.
1t is a matter of public record that
while the L~telligencer claims to do
the work for nothing it not only re-
ceived $176 for printing the report
of Burke and Rowland, as experts,
but also wanted additional compen-
sation for circulating 700 copies as
supplements to its weekly edition.
The Court allowed the bill which
was just about 500 in excess of
what either of the other papers
would gladly have done it for,
though not perhaps Gin q single
issue. The whole matter was
wrong from top to bottom. There
was no law to warrant the letting Of
a contract gratuitously, for the law
expects every man to be paid for his
labor; there was no law to warrant
the appointment of Rowland and
Burke as experts, for the examina-
ton of the books of public officers
is the proper work of the Grand
Jury; and when it comes toprintlng
the report, there was no law to allow
a man compensation at onefigure for
what he had bid to do ut another.
We don't believe we shall put in
any bid for printing "by the lump"
at the commencement of the new
term. No proposals made that way
are fair or equitable. The specifi-
cations should state what advertis-
ing is needed and what blanks are
required for the use of the county
officers. Then there may be some
thing legitimate in the transactions
of the county with the printers.
