LONDON, Jan 19.-Sir Edward CLARK, the solici-
tor-general made quite a sensation by advocating
in q speech at Birmingham yesterday the fusion
OF the legal professions, TO enable solicitors TO
practice as barrtsters no barrister Is allowed to
accept fee direct from q client, and no solicitor
allowed to appear except In police court or county
court cases 1t Is obvious that this Is not in the
interest OF the public but OF class II Is strange
that Clark, who, although man OF the people, his
father having been a working matchmaker In q
little shop London bridge, is one OF the most
ardent advocates OF privilege In the present tory
government, should propose
50 REVOLUTIONARY A MEASURE.
II only needs the abolition OF the solicitors an
nual tax and Of fees OF the students at the bar
to make the proposal thoroughly radicaL AT pres
ent no poor man is able TO become barr1ster, be-
cause the fees are prohibited This Is so well un-
cerstood that many idle people become barr1sters
not for the purpose OF practicng but because they
can thus obtain q sort OF guarantee ct respecta-
bility.

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EvESISs STAR
LONDON, Jan. 19.-The strenuous Efforts to In
duce Mr.. Spurgeon to withdraw his resignation
from the Baptist Union have failed. and at meet
ing OF the council OF the union In LONDON yester-
day Il resolved to accept his resignation, In
asmuch as the attempts at conciliation had proved
unavailing. There was evident reluctance 10
adopt this resolution. Spurgeons allegations that
certain members, whom he dares not name for fear
OF the law OF libel teaching hereticai doctrines
on the Of the Inspiration OF The Scriptures
and the atonement are not likely TO facilitate the
efforts OF the union to induce the zoo Baptist
churches not yet members TO join. Moreover
Spurgeol Is incomparably the most eminent bap-
tst pr acher OF his day, and even his dissent from
Gladstones home-rule policy, in which he opposed
more than nine-t-nths OF his congregation, has
done little 20 diminish his popularity. hear from
