JUDGE VAN HozEN, of New York,
in common pleas court, decides as fol-
lows. upon demand for bill of parti-
culars in a lawyers fee of $4,000:
II do not think it proper to require
a lawyer who has prepared a brief to
state what time he took in preparing
it. The value of the brief depends
upon the ability it displays. If the
subject be inherently difficult, and if
research be proved by the learning
collected in the brief, the cOmpensa-
ton of the lawyer may well be large,
though his familiarity with the class
of questions disc Used may have en-
abled him to prepare the argument
without the labor that one exploring
a new field would have found impera-
lively necessary. The title spent in
the closet by the lawyer is, in my
opinion, matter of no consequence to
his client. The time spent in attend
ance upon a court or in attendance
upon the authorities to whom the ar
gument is to be addressed may, with
propriety, be called for by the client.
But it cannot be necessary that the
time should be accurately measured
in minutes
The LIGHT regards this decision as
eminently proper and just. The in
formation gained by lawyer through
years of study and experience is as
much a part of his capital as the cash
in his safe, and it is no business of the
client how long it takes the lawyer to
put this capital to practical use. The
discrimination made by the court is
wise and equitable. The idea that a
mans attainments must be measured
by the yard is not at all to be counte-
nanced. 1t is the value of the opinion
and not the time taken in its formula
ton that counts. Property in brains
and acquired knowledge is property
as much as are possessions lin lands
and bank stock and railroad invest
ments and cattle herds.

THE st Louis @%Republic becomes
very republic of ignorance when it
ostentatiously announces, as it does
in recent issue concerning Blaine's
declination, the following as its creed:
when it's declared that Blaine
would accept a unanimous nomina-
ton, it is meant that he would take
any kind of nomination that he
could get. Every nominating con-
vention makes it unanimous after
the result is reached. If there is any
dissent, it is from 'bolters,' and the
nomination is still unanimous. No
body is absurd enough to believe that
there is the least hope for Blaine to
get unanimous nomination in any
other way"
The Republic now knows better,
but it will not have the manliness to
say so.
