THE TELEPHONE LAWYERS.

They Demand an Advance of $1,000 Each
on Their Prospective Salaries
Special to the Indiana polls Journal.
WASHINGTON, March pa very unusual pro-
ceeding has already taken place in the forthcom-
ing telephone suit to be instituted by the gov
eminent at Columbus, 0. All the government
attorneys number half dozen, and, excepting
Judge Thurman, have applied to Attorney general
Garland for advance of 81 900 each IN their
prospective salaries. The Attorney general re-
ferred them to the Secretary of the Treasury
and he has returned their bills unpaid and un-
signed. His excuse for this is that there is no
appropriation yet for this suit aud no fund out
Of which to pay the legal gentlemen. The
remuneration for the attorneys has not yet been
fixed, but no objection was made to their
receiving this advance if it could have
been provided for. There is little
nervousness at the Department of Justice,
through apprehension that the lawyers may strike
and refuse to go to Columbus unless they get an
advance and some kind of an assurance about
the magnitude of their pay. There is rumor
that the Attorney general intends to put up his
Pan electric telephone stock as collateral for the
moor LAWYERS

COMMISSIONER OF PENSIONS BLACK was an
alleged lawyer before his installation in office.
If he followed the practice Of making charges
and letting his cases come to trial before he
had secured any evidence in support of them,
it is not surprising that, as claimed by his
friends at the time, his income over and
above his pension, was small He never
could attain wealth or fame at the bar by in
aulgence in the peculiar tactics which have
distinguished his course in the Dudley in

SUCH individuals as may have felt inclined to
objur.:ate on occasions when the bell hanger
failed to keep engagemens-as he usually
does when most needed-may be somewhat mol
lifted when told that Secretary Stanton owed his
escape from assassination to the fact that the
man who was to repair the broken WIRE of his
bell neglected to do so at the time promised.
When the assassin called to do his bloody work
he could not gain entrance to the house by reason
of the fact that the wire of the bell was broken,
and it could not be rung. Evidently the bell
hanger is not without excuse for living.

also, that a general rule limiting debates upon

to defeat political methods in the consideration
of non-political subjects, or subjects which
should be clear of politics, the rules would be
made much more serviceable than otherwise
