Jacob sharn,s I,nwYers.

The investigation that is now going on
before a legislative committee in New
York city Of the charges that Jacob sharp
purchased the Broadway Surface railway
franchise from the New York Aldermen
for very large sum Of money has been
productive of some rather remarkable
testimony, and not the least remarkable
is that for doing some sort Of work in con-
nection with the franchise, the exact
character OF which does not appear,
/ half dozen reputable and very prominent
lawyers received between 100000 and
$780, OO
An inquiry mas been started whether
the enormous fees which were paid to
these lawyers were honestly earned, and
whether there was any part Of their work
which was Of character that strictly
honest and honorable man could not have
consistently done?
1t has been suggested that the New
York Bar Association institute an in
quiry for the purpose of discovering
whether the lawyers in question have
done anything in connection with this
Broadway franchise business that they
would be ashamed to have made public.
1t is important that the honor and dignity
OF the legal profession should be main
tanned. Lawyers who consent to do dirty
work, whether for big or small fees.
should not be permitted to pose before
the community as honest men. If the
lawyers who advised Jacob Sharp and
others who are believed to have secured
the Broadway Surface railway franchise
by bribery, knew that they were aiding a
scheme that was contrary to good
morals and hostile to the public
interests, they should be as strongly con-
demned by public opinion as their clients
will be If it is shown that crime was
committed. The New York Bar Associa-
ton, if it proposes to maintain high
standard in the profession, cannot afford
to overlook questionable professional con-
duct on the part OF even its most promi-
nent members.

The Mateless Bird .

From the Southern BioOudo.
Full half a warm and budding day
Within little grove lay,
And still from noon to evenings fall
heard lonely wood-bird call,
He wandered south, he wandered north,
With restless lifting back and forth,
And still bis tender p aiming cry
Smote on my ympathiztng ear:
And still marked him wand'rlng oy,
Now hurryiDg on, now pausing near.
The happy birds the boughs among
Were singing blithely as could bs,
Loves bites the theme Of every song;
But still that pensive melody
Upon the tranquil air would noat,
A sweetiy melancholy note.
At last for that one sound of Wos
/ felt my foolish eyes o'erilOw.
pitied so the birdling's grief:

Has nature been unfair to thee
And LETT thee single and forlorn?

Thy only task thy fate 10 mourn,

Nay. little one, It is not so;
Somewhere, In some secluded SPOT,
There mourns little bird know,
As dscOnt'nted with her lot.

With cries still ease thy burdened breast:
Fly on, dy on, fly fart and fast,
For thou ahalt ind thy mate at last"

A Costly CanifnI.

Doubtless there are public buildings
which we're completed at a cost not ex.
ceeding the original estimates, but Il
would not perhaps be easy TO find many.
When it was drst proposed to build new
capitol for the State OF New York it was
estimated that So, 900, 600 would provide a
much handsomer and larger building
than there was any occasion for. Nine
teen years have passed since the plans
were approved, and the building is not
yet completed. The amount expended
thus far is $17,502 90, and a sum not much
less than 81, 900, 600 has been called for to
complete it. 1t is perhaps within reason
to say that before it is pronounced finished
$40, 100000 will have been spent upon it.
Has all the money that has been appro-
priated for Il been honestly expended?
This, no doubt, is a question that many
New Workers have asked without getting
any satisfactory answer. The general
impression doubtless Is that in the con-
struction of the building there has been
great deal Of waste, extravaganza and
perhaps stealing.
The cost OF the New York capitol is a
matter Of some little Importance in this
state, in view Of the fact that the people
OF Georgia are wondering whether the
new capitol which they have ordered
built will exceed the cost which was
originally decided upon. At the
last session of the Legislature
indications began to crop out Of
desire to make changes in contracts
that would have resulted in Increased
cost, and II may be that they will be
apparent again when the next Legis-
lature meets. There is not much proba-
bility, however, that Georgis's new capt.
toll will cost much, II any, more than il
ought TO. The men who make her laws,
as body, have more regard for the
peoples interests than the average New
York legislator has.

The Hawaiian Treaty.

Our reciprocity treaty with the Ha-
waiian islands appears to be a most
excellent thing for the Hawaiian sugar
planters, but not very good thing for
this country. 1t has been in operation
nine years, and in that time the amount
of duties RENTED is so, sos, OPS. But
how about our exports to the islandsf 1t
was said when this treaty was proposed
that our exports would be so stimulated
that we should have in profits each year
far more than our loss from remitted
duties. T1is statement was made so.
positively, and backed up so strongly by
figures, that enough Congressman be-
lieved it to secure its ratification. The
facts show, however, that there was very
little truth in It. The whole amount of
our domestic exports to the Hawaiian
islands since the treaty went into opera
ton is $22. 27237l. IL will be seen from
this statement that we made the islands
| a present of about every dollars worth of
goods sent to them. IL we had main
tanned the duties and gwen them the
goods we would be just as we'll off as we
are now.
The outlook for the future, however,
promises even a worse condition Of affairs
for us. In 1885 we RENTED duties to the
amount of 81, 225,50S greater than the
total value of our exports, and the pros
pect is that this year we shall not oply
give the islands all they import fromius
but also make them present Of 81, O00,-
600. q

In view OF the fact that the larger share
OF the benonts of this treaty goes to a lot
Of San Francisco spectators would ID
not be a good idea to abrogate it? ~

Commenting on the Presidents message
on the Senatorial demands the Philadel-
phia Press says; 1.-THE position taken by
the President is illogical, un-Democratic,
and unjust. His elaborate defense does
not bear examination. He has invited a
controversy with the senate in which the
latter has only TO do nothing in order to
win, and it does not require "a very san

winning must be very unsatisfactory
