THE LONDON strikers are asking for six
pence an hour only, and the manner in
which this circumstance is being worked
up by the Republican press would be won
derful if it were not so common. Sixpence
is equivalent to about twelve and one half
cents; the pu-chasing power of money in
England as compared with the United
States, with reference to actual necessar-
les, averages about 100 per cent greater
so that what the workmen there really
want for days wages, the day TO consist
of ten hours, amounts to about $3.50 ac-
cording to our compensations and measure
ments. We all know that here, where
labor is so fully protected. it does not
nearly command that figure on the average,
and in the extreme east, where coal barons
and iron princes have full sway, it does not
amount to more than half of that. Go on
with your high tariff arguments.

THE OTHER day young man of Pittsburg
was sent to jail for drunkenness. 1t was
not the first time that he had been drunk,
but the first time he had gone TO prison
for over-indulgence in the flowing bowl.
He felt that he was disgraced, and being
ashamed to live proceeded to kill himself.
Weapons were not at hand, but he demon
strated that where there is a will there is a
way, and taking pencil from his pocket
proceeded to stab himself to the heart
with it. The only point Of interest in this
item is the encouragement which it gives
to the would-be suicides. They need not
be down hearted if they have not at hand
the latest improved double-action pistols or
silver-hilted daggers. Means for shutting
off may be found everywhere, and it will
not matter to the victims after they have
gone how they went.

For forty years Mr.. SHAW gave himself
up to works of charity. He loved his fel-
low man, and delighted in making others
happy The only use that he had for money
was to do good with it. In his hands
money was a blessing to all who came
within his reach, and now that he has
passed away his name and deeds will live
in the memory of his fellows.
Unfortunately there are very few HENRY
SHAws in this world There are plenty OF
men with millions, but their dispositions
are unlike his. They accumulate wealth.
not for the good it can do them OF
others, but for the power it brings,
and they do not know when
to stop. They pile millions upon millions,
and wear themselves out in looking after
their wealth. They do not know the
meaning of ease and comfort, while happi
ness on earth is something they never
dream of having. Nor can they find pleas
ure in making others happy if it takes
money to doit When they go, the remark
is, another SHYLoCK gone" and people
are glad when their reckless heirs scatter
the money which has been accumulated by
economy which is closely related to stingi
ness, and by scheming againsttheir fellows

to look about him for counterparts, and

at least 999 times out of 1000, there will be
mo vigilance committee or any other
remedial agency required to cause him to
leave; of his own volition he viii pack up
his effects and not silently, like the Arab,
but openly and with all the outward seem
ing that such case calls for, take his de-
parture. Lawyers, as rule, reform them
selves and their brethren; they do not wait
for some outside pressure to do it,
In taking the position he has, Mr.. FIELD
lowers his reputation greatly. He joins
hands with that class of playwrights who,
when they have occasion to use one OF the
legal fraternity or character in their pro-
auctions, make him either a fool or knave.
sometimes both. The proportion which is
figured out by the foregoing statement IS:
One lawyer to 6,400 in Germany; one to
4, zoo in France, and one to 900 in the United
States. No man except he be in his deca-
dence, would make use of such showing ex-
cept for the purpose of mere statistics; TO
use it as an argument, as we are sorry TO
say Mr.. FIELD does, is to show at once that
the once master mind has lost its bearings
and the soul which gave it birth is no longer
capable of lofty and comprehensive con-
ceptions This is the youngest of the great
powers of the globe, and things not being
so well settled here, require more discus
sion, analysis, comparison and adjustment.
Besides, great interests or interests of any
kind there are more nearly confined to the
few and are also more settled, hence they
require less assistance from those who
make a study of the codes; here it is
different, because here interests are more
distributive aud distributed and the func-
ton of government not being so punched
upn and systematically concentrated, ad-
nit of if they do not require more expans-
i've and widespread opinions Hence,
while lawyer in France or Germany
might not be needed in an ordinary matter
at all, we are here better able to have them
do the thinking for US which falls outside
the routine of our daily pursuits, and we
are also better able TO have them than are
people abroad.
No people have more reason to complain
of the undue action of the courts as relates
to speed, or of the laws delays, than have
those who peopled Utah and made it the
desirable and inviting place it now is.
This is not because of a superabumdance of
lawyers, but generally because of a
lack of them The rule, we take it,
should be that it is better to
have lawyer and not want him than to
want him and not to have him. AS RUFUS
CHoATE replied to the friend who told him
when informed that the afterwards great
legal philosopher was going to study law,
that he thought there were already enough
lawyers, There is plenty of room at the
top This is the proper way to look at any
thing and everybody; no matter how much
the ranks may be crowded no matter if there
be a dozen men to attend to every dollars
worth of business there is to be had, there
is plenty of room-an abundance of it-at
the top.
