THE suggestion we have made that
the professional ethics do not forbid
lawyer discharged by one client from
being employed by his opponent
has been met with the declaration
that such conduct is generally esteemed
unprofessional and lawyers who are
determined to avoid even the appearance
of dishonor in their relations to their eli
ents would no doubt decline employment
by the opposite side, even though they
had been unwarrantably discharged by
their client. The argument is that the
position of client and attorney is conf.
Dental, and that the lawyer who has
been admitted to his clients secrets is
barred from even putting himself and
his knowledge at the service of his
clients foe. That is a strong position ;
but, on the other hand, it is to he said
that in very many, if not most, cases, no
such confidential information is OBJ
tanned by the lawyer and that if a
lawyer may he barred from the other
side of the case by any temporary
employment in it on one side, a smart
litigant might buy off the opposition OF
the whole bar by a five dollar bill to each
member of it. Evidently great deal
must be left to the lawyers own sense of
prOpriety.

REPUBLICAN ROTTEHNeSS.

The delightful revelations which
the ex-Star-Route thief, Dorsey, has
recently been making must be re-
celved with a consideration of their
source, but that cannot lessen the
damage they will do the Republican
party. The fact still remains that
Dorsey was manager of the Republi-
can campaign in 1880. In his capac-
lty OF SECRETARY of the National execu-
tive committee he was the moving
principle of the most wholesale and
shameless corruption that has ever
been practiced in American politics.
his revelations are doubtless made
through pique and motives of revenge,
but the fact that such a man was at
the head of affairs is in itself an evil
dence OF the truth of the story he now
tells. A mOdicum of high cOloring
may be thrown into what he says in
order to compromise his false friends
who deserted him in time of need, but
the very depravity of Dorsey's nature
as shown by these confessions, is proof
that his management was necessarily
a corrupt one.
The name of Dorsey is inseperably
linked with the Republican campaign
of 1SSOand the mention of either is alike
suggestive of rOttenness. The money
that was wrung from the government
employees by Jay Hubbell's assess
ments was deity used by the dexter
Gus Dorsey to purchase votes in Indi-
ana and New York and to accomplish
one of the most stupendOus frauds on
record. This is a sad showing up for
the party of great moral ideas to make
There is a wonderful lack of vital
principle in the organization that
must rely on such means as this and
the great fraud of T6 to maintain its
existence. To use Dorsey's own Ian
guage: "When things come to such a
pass that you have to bulldoze cam
paign through by bargains, trades,
bribery and all manner of chicanery
it looks pretty sick for continued par
ty supremacy"
1t furnishes food for reflection to
know that these Pharisaical Republi-
cans who engaged in the wholesale
buying of votes in Indiana and New
York are the same who did 50 much
preaching about fraud in Southern
elections. The question naturally
arises if all the Juror about frauds in
the South wasn't raised to turn public
attention away from the manner in
which Republican campaigns were
conducted at the North.
1t will be useless for the Republi-
cans to try to discredit Dorsey's state
ments by silent contempt; the posi-
ton he held and the enthusiastic en-
dOrsement the party gave him when
the campaign was over has committed
them to his acts. His subsequent
conduct is an indication that those
acts were the worst that opportunity
permitted, and the public would be-
heve that his management of the cam
paign was tinged with fraud if he had
made no revelations.

The VIRGINIA DEMOCRACY.

The State Convention of the Vir-
glnia Democracy met at Lynchburg
on the 25th ult. Every county i'll the
State was represented and the attend
ance was unusually large The Ohio
tariff plank was incorporated into the
platform, adopted without alteration
another proof of the growing popu-
larity of that we'll chosen utterance
which is to become the organic law of
the party. On the subject of inter-
nal revenue the Democrats of the Old
Dominion express themselves rs fol
lows:
We favor the unconditional and
immediate abolition of internal reve-
nue., menace to the freedom of
election, an intolerable burden on tax
payers, Il source of the greatest corrup-
ton, and in its practical operation a
special burden on this State and her
interest.
The last sentence has reference, of
course, to the tobacco crop, which is
the principal product of the Virginia
farmer For that reason it applies
with striking force to this immediate
section OF country where tobacco is
also staple commodity. The Vir-
ginia Democrats affirm that the inter
nal revenue tax is a special burden ON
this most important industry. We
believe that assertion is true and for
that reason we say the tax on tobacco
should be removed Now that the
governments income is to be reduced
to the basis of actual necessity, the
first step towards dispOsing of the sur
plus revenue should be to take away
this burden. There was never any
more justice in taxing tobacco than i'll
taxing cotton or any other farm pro-
duct. As temperance measure, it is
well enough that the tax ON liquors
should remain, but that on tobacco is
unjust and must bc abolished. 1t is
sad and tlimSy argument that would
convince the tobacco grower that it is
to his interest to let this tax on the
product of his toll remain us now fixed.

A PLEASANT story comes from
Georgia that would afford the frame
work for II romance. Mrs. Flor
ence Jones living near Gerber, in
that State, saw II large fiat stone
that would be nice to beat clothes
on and determined to move it near
the spring where she was accostom-
ed to do washing. When the stone
had been lifted she noticed a cavity
underneath and examining further
found a tin box containing $415 in
gold coins all, $50 pieces except two
tens and one five. None of the
peices had date more recent than
1852. The interesting feature of her
good luck is that her husband had
tried in vain that day to borrow
800 to meet mOrtage on their

SINCE when did those flippant
French expressions, so current now
adays, get to be classic phrases !?
The Democrat tried to use one some
time since and showed an ignorance
of its meaning by following it with
English words of the same purport.
Not content with that display it tried
the same expression in another issue
and mutilated it almost beyond recog-
milton by bad photography. Afraid
that its accomplishments would be
forgotten, these unfortunate words
were alluded to in a subsequent num-
Der, as "a classic phraze in last weeks
Democrat" Those foreign phrases,
used for the sake of the idiom, are no
more classic" than American slang,
and if they were, dear neighbor, they
would lose that dignified character
under your destructive touch.

WHAT TIE sTRIkE PROVES.

Such strike as that the telegraph.
ers have conducted-is in no way OBJ
]ectionable. The right of any man, or
set OF men, to put price on his or
their labor cannot be denied, and the
result OF strike will prove the accu-
racy or falsity OF such estimate. The
orderly and business like manner in
which this strike has been carried on
is cogent argument in favor of popu-
lar education. Telegraph operators
are necessarily men of some education
and their daily employment is calcu-
lated to endow them with general in
telligence. 1t is on this account that
their strike has not been marked by
the crime and illegal outbreaks that
have generally characterized those OF
less enlightened workmen.
Some years ago when the great rail
road strikes occurred, the country was
threatened with an insurrection OF
sHch vast proportions that it was once
thought a large detachment of the
National military would be required
to quell it. So much strength was
shown by the strikers that statesmen
began to study the causes of such &C.
currences as a serious problem incl
dent to the relation of capital and Ia
Dor. The peace of the country was
thought to be in jeopardy, and indeed
that idea was not without foundation.
1t still exists and the mass of unletter-
ed mechanics and laborers who work
in the extensive machine shops and
on the railroads of the country may
be considered kind OF smouldering
volcano in the midst of our social or
ganization. A general strike among
that class with such features as their
former strikes have evinced would
bring about terrible state of affairs.
The telegraphers have shown the
preventive for this threatened evil,
and the secret they have revealed is
popular education. Intelligence takes
the brute characteristics out of a man
and teaches him that nothing is to be
accomplished by a resort to illegal
means. 1t gives him a regard for the
rights of others and subdues the fero-
cious instincts that men have when
they consider themselves outraged.
Universal education will take the ter
ror out of strikes and make them
hurtful only in the damage they do to
business.
