THE L4WYER'S CONSCIENCE.

The question whether a lawyer can properly
undertake what he knows to be bad cause
is an old one. The Rcv DIR. BartOl. In q
thoughtful article on Bribery and its near
relatives" in the current Forum" takes the
ground that for lawyer. who, being an officer
of the court is a minister Of the law. 10 take
money TO advance cause he knows TO be UNI
deserving, is to accept bride and raises the
question whether lawyer who receives re-
tanning fee which is obviously given simply to
prevent his being engaged by the other side,
has not come dangerously near the same
offence especially if there is any reason to
suspect injustice on the side that is so anxious
to silence him. Scruples Of this kind are
likely to seem fantastic at this day. when, ap-
parcntly, the body of the profession considers
almost any fee legitimate provided it Is big
enough and even on the older question as to
whether a lawyer is to take and push case
whether it be good or bad, even lawyers of
admittedly high character would not always
agree with DR.. Bartol. He admits that he was
not able to convince so upright judge as
Chief Justice Shaw. who went so far as to hold
that contendng councillors should do their
best to represent or misreprescnt they having
naught to do with absolute equity or truth"
In opposition to this can be produced the dec
Iaration of still more eminent authority, the
late Chief Justice Chase. that "lawyers are
not bound to tell any lies" to which he added
that II he were engaged in defending man
for crime and became convinced by indsput-
able evidence, such as the clients confession,
that he was guilty, he should withdraw from
the case.
Probably to most lawyers this will seem an
cxtrava gantly high standard of professional
conduct, and it would probably be attacked
also on the ground that such course would
tend to give the law an unfair advantage over
the criminal, who is supposed to be innocent
until other testimony than his own has proved
him guilty, and who is expressly protected
against eliminating himself. 1t happens FAR
moro frequently, moreover, than the public
realizes that lawyers believe In their cases.
The authority just quoted once said that in the
whole course Of his practice he had but one
case in the law Of which he did not sincerely
believe. The court decided in his favor. and
years afterward he came TO the conclusion that
he and the court had been right. and his secret
doubts were mistaken.
Extavagantly high standards Of professional
conduct would work far less harm, however,
than standards cxtravagantly low, which are
altogether too common nowadays. These arc

in maintaining that the old way is the better
way. His recommendation that an occasional
hour should be set apart for exercises which
would lead children to revere and love their
country - should be acted upon in every school.
But this is not enough. In such city as
New-York, whose schools are full Of children
either foreign-born or born Of parents who are
citizens by adoption, it Is necessary that
knowledge Of American institutions should be
a specific and required feature Of the course
American history should be taught with great
thoroughness. The corrupting influence OF
alien and even revolutionary ideas is actively
at work in the cities. It can only be met by
bringing up boys and girls, too IN the doctrines
of democracy. They must know how properly
to estimate the opportunities given in land

NEW SOUTHERN EXODUS.

Arrangements have been completed In Nam
sas for an extensive emigration movement OF
the colored race. While Topeka has been
selected as the headquarters Of the permanent
organization the recruiting ground Is the
American cotton-belt with its outlying tobacco,
supar and rice fields. network Of secret
agencies Is to be established throughout the
Southern States, and by the end Of the year
the projectors Of this enterprise expect to be
able to offer hundreds of thousands OF planta-
ton laboers tree transportation to South
America. Three years ago agents were sent
to Brazil the Argentine Confederation and the
Guiapas to ascertain what assistance could be
obtained in transplanting colored people from
the United States to those countries. These
agents have made an exhaustive examination
of the comparative merits Of sections and
climates and have learned that important con-
cessions will be made by the Brazilian and
Argentine Governments respecting lands, i'm
munity from taxation and aid in transportation.
The promoters Of the enterprise represent
that they have 100000 Of capital pledged
and that by the close Of the year they will be
prepared to send out colored emigrants from
ew-Orleans, Mobile, Savannah and other
Southern ports to Brazil and Central America.
While it is probable that the Topeka organ
izcrs take too sanguine view OF the prospects
of this movement they arc making deliberate
effort to deprive the Southern States Of their
best classes Of laborers. They look confidently
for success because they are aware that the
negroes throughout the cotton belt are discon-
tented, restless and anxious to find new homes
al that is needed. they assert. to set hundreds
of thousands Of colorcd families in motion is
cheap transportation to somo country where
they can live in peace ave are offered a
welcome" says the leader Of this exodus, " In
a country where we can have our homes and
not be driven from them, where VIC can earn
our money and not be cheated ont OF it. and
where our votes will be counted when We vote
We have waited in the South until our hearts
have failed u.s." Chimercal as the colonial
ton scheme may appear. the despairng tone
of the well-to-do colored leaders of this move
ment is significant of the feeling OF unrest and
bopelessness prevailing among the Southern
freedmen.
The migration Of negroes from Louisiana
Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee to Kansas
and other Western States caused widespread
alarm among Southern planters in 1879 and
the two following years. Associations
were formed to concert measures for
preventing the removal of the blacks;
meetings were held for the pur-
pose of asccrtaining grievances and holding
laborers where they were needed for the cul-
tvation Of plantations and agents were sent
West to offer companies of colored emigrants
free transportation II they would return to
their old homes. This feeling Of alarm will be
renewed with increased intensity if steps are
taken during the year to carry out these col
onization plans on largo scale Such an
exodus would be fraught with ruin to the agri-
cultural classes of the South

The first impression made by Mr.. Gcrry's
protest against the strain put upon the boy
pianist Holman is that the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children is exercising
undue authority and is over-anxious to score
point Reflection, however. shows that there
is ground for the fear that the boy is doing too
much and that check may well be placed on
his too frequent performances and the severe
demands made upon him. The suggestion
that an examination by competent medical
authority be made to determine whether and
how far he is suffering Is one to which no
reasonable objection can be. offered.
