For the English speaking section of
the American people, English politics
will have greater interest for the
next few months than the rush for the
offices which has SO closely followed Har-
rison's election. The commission which
is trying the Parnellites are dangerously
partisan. The members affected impair
TALLY to begin with so as to gain con-
tidence in its proceedings. But it is now
evident that the purpose is to ruin the
Parnellite leaders by creating the i'm
preston among the unthinking that they
were privy to all the crimes committed
in Ireland. The introduction of testi-
mony wholly foreign to the case in issue
is clearly for the purpose of prejudicing
the public against the Irish leaders.

GEORGE III. BRICKNER ran considerably
behind his ticket in this district. He
failed to hold his own in the town in
which he lives. Mr.. Brickner is a man
of good sense but is too confounded
stingy to run for Office. Manitowoc
county did well for him though there was
not particle of enthusiasm and indeed
almost feeling of indifference as to
whether he was elected or not. Notwith-
standing that.the county nominated him
and then gave him the largest majority
of any county in the district, he is SO
economic of courteous acknowledgment
that he has failed to return thanks.
1t is usually the custom for candidates
for congress to subscribe for one or more
papers in each county in their district.
Mr.. Brickner did not ask that even a
sample copy of any paper in the
county be sent to him. 1t may seem
small" to mention this matter, but it has
always been the custom of The Pilot to
refuse to accept the subscription price
from candidates for congress, SO that
there is nothing mercenary in the fault
finding with Mr.. Brickner. On inquiry
it is learned that he has not subscribed
for any paper in this city. The same
thing is doubtless true of every other
county in the district. Congressman
elected invariably pay their pro rata of
the expense of printing tickets. The
local candidates are under heavy ex-
pense in engaging workers at the polls
and getting the voters out. In this
county they usually decline to receive
what is offered by the congressman as his
proportion. But they want to see dis
position on his part to pay his share of
the legitimate expense. Nothing would
be taken but his share of the cost of
ticket printing the whole cost of which In
this county this year amounted to $50.

mo. we nearly all have a sliding
scale Of prices. like physicians and il
no prior arrangement has been made'
when the ease is concluded and a set
tlement called for, the means OF the
client and the result Of the suit enter
into calculations. In damage suits the
fee OF the attorney for the plaintiff in
variably depends upon the amount re-
covered. An agreement is made that
he shall have a certain per cent. OF the
amount recovered and il he fails to
procure judgment he gets nothing for
his services. In criminal cases, tho
sum is generally agreed upon at the
outset, and a portion of the amount
demanded before the case is taken is
paid to the attorney. The fees
in that branch OF legal work do
not compare with the amounts
paid here for defense in the earlier
days of Criminal Court practice. In
former days, when crime was much more
prevalent than now, our best criminal
lawyers were remarkably well paid.
| know several who each received o
fee of $500, and | am told hat double
that amount has been paid by one or
two men to attorneys who had them
acquitted of murder"
What kind of litigation is most
common now?'
divorce suits, | should think.
They are very abundant, and growing
more numerous all the time. There
are quite a number OF firms that make
a speciality of divorce business, and it
is said that they sometimes incite do
nestle disturbances for the purpose Of
getting a case. The minimum charge
for obtaining a decree is S25, but when a
contest arises the fee frequently
reaches from 800 to $3.50. In cases
where the parties are well up in social
circles lawyers frequently charge as
much as $500 for their services.
Commercial and railroad litigation
pays best, doesn't it?"
yes, nearly all large business
houses make annual contracts for the
handling of their routine legal bust
ness, of which they necessarily have a
good deal. Such a position is gener-
ally worth from 900 to $4,000 to a
legal firm, and if it has several clients
of that kind, you a see it pays quite
well. The tendency among business
men is to compromise all suits, and the
work of the attorney is generally
along that line. All the railroads
have their regular salaried attorneys,
and they pay them quite well. These.
however, are the plums of the legal
profession, and they fall only to the
favored few. n-IadidndpoIis Journal.

one On the pit Of the stomach. They not
only ward off the cold. but act as a tonic.
We are frequently affected with rneunia-

FITTING A WOMAN.
a Glimpse in the Trying-On Room of
Fashionable Ladies' Tailor.

"a Ia hAhS st Va
Fashionable Ladies' Tailor.
ut is q good deal more difficult to
fit a lady than you would imagine"
said a fashionable ladies' tailor the
other day. you see," he continued.
''ladies are very peculiar. have been
in the business for years and have had
dealings with every kind Of women in
this country and in Europe. How r
ladies measured? Well, first they tako
off their outer waist, leaving their
neck and arms bare. Then the filter
measures them from the collar to the
waist in the back; the width OF the
back is taken at its widest and mar
rOwest parts, the front from the base of
the throat to the waist, next from the
under arm to the waist, and then the
size of the throat is taken. After that
we take the measurement Of the bust,
waist and hips. That done. the inside
length of the sleeve is taken, and the
circumference of the biceps. The
measure OF the skirt is.neXt taken, up,
down and around. Then we have three
fittings. Firse in the rough. second
with more perfect Innings, and lastly
when every thing is completed.
"Who does the ftting?"
Men and women. Some ladies will
be fitted by none but men. They don't
seem to like women about them. Some
don't like the idea of wearing SO few
clothes and allowing men to handle
them. Fitting is a rather embarrassing
thing at times, let me tell you. Then
women's vanity keeps a great many
from allowing men to fit them, es-
pecially where the figure is not well
rounded. Most of the ladies wear
skin-tight web undergarments, which
show all the outlines and yet are not
immodest. Good filters practically
command their own prices. They
work only during the seasons, which
are very short here, and they make
$4,000 to 5000 a year. They are
born filters, just as men are born poets
and orators"
How do you make up a poor
fgureP"
That's an art. For instance, q
lady will come who is as thin as a
rail, with no bust, no arms, no Shout
ders. We have to use cotton wadding
to support her deficiencies. That's
where a good filter comes in. A bum
gler would make her look lumpy, but
an artist in his line turns her out a
model. Then suppose a big aeshy
lady comes along. She has al i'm
mense expanse of breast. OF course,
that must be broken. We usually
break the bodice into four lines by a
rever OF same cloth. Your eye can
only travel from one line to tho
other, and before 1t has passed around
all Of them the mind forgets to notice
the expanse. A perfectly plain bodice
is very trying except to a perfect
figure. In that event, Of course, 1t
only sets it of. 1t is not often that
| advise plain fronts, SO few can
stand them."--N Y. Letter.
