TOO MANY LAWYERS.

hungry Ones Fomcnt Litigation and Clog
the Wheels of Justice.
In IL recent address delivered at Chi
Gag Judge Walter Q. Gresham declared
that the standard in his profession was
not SO high as it was twenty-five years
ago, and that the law drew less and less
upon the ableSt and best men of the ma
ton. David Dudley Field, lawyer of
equal emincnce, asserted not long ago in
an address before the American Bar AS
socia ton, that one of the chief reasons
for this change was the undue multiple
cation of lawyers. He cited the fact that
there were 20. 600 lawyers in the United
States against 1000 in Germany and
5000 in France, the number in proper
ton to the population being more than
seven times as great as in Germany and
five times as large as in France, as evil
dcncc that the courts were clogged,
cases strung out indefinitely and the
whole machinery Of justice hampered
and degraded by the scrambles for bust
ness for three or four times as many
lawyers as are needed.
There is much force in these state
| mentS by two Of the most eminent law
ycrs of the day. 1t is apparent to all
observers that there is a vast amount Of
litigation romcntcd by hungry lawyers,
and that all necessary legal business
could be done as we'll and much more
rapidly with one-half of the bar growing
crops or making cloth and machinery.
| 1t is equally clear that the tendency of
| this scramble for a livelihood is TO make
| the law less attractive to men Of the
| highest abilities and to lower the stand
| ing of the profession. For the interests
| of the public and of good lawyers as
we'll, there should be 4 persistent effort
on the part of law-making bodies to SIM
| plify the methods OF the courts and in
crease the efficiency. If cases could be
| finally disposed OF in half the time now
required, the saving to the public would
| he enormous. hundreds of pettifoggers
| would be driven out of the business and
the legal profession would gain greatly
in the respect and confidence of the pub
| lic.-Clevcland Leader.

Reed makes the rules OF the house Just
what the speaker OF the housv says they

THE wy TO win u battle is to plan
your campaign. Tho way to have a
good garden is to think tho matter over
and lay your plans during the winter.
GARDENING is profitable when the soil
Is not OF too cold q nature and the mar
lict is not at too great Il distance. One
of the essentials is to plant early and to
grow nothing but good varieties.
TIE garden fence should inclose twice
the land needed for the garden, says q
writer. Onc-half should DO seeded
down while the rest is in garden crops,
thus providing for q rotation and renewal
of fertility.
a GOOD garden, we'll supplied with
choice varieties of vegetables and fruits,
Is ono of tho greatest luNurics of the
farm and household. There is no farmer
but can afford TO have a garden and take
caro- of it in tho best possible manner
IN the garden a good seed drill adapted
to sowing the various kinds of garden
seeds will do much better work and in
much less time than is possible by hand,
as the seed can all be sown in straight
rows and distributed much more evenly
in tho row.
If your garden plot is selected rake it
over as soon as the weather will permit
and burn up every vcstiTo of grass and
weeds, so as to destroy not only seeds
but insects. a covering of straw, leaves
or stalks burned over the ground will be
an advantage.
a GARDEN soil that has been brought
into high state of fertility is capable
OF producing two or even moro light,
green garden crops in n season. In fact
it loses less Of heart and vitality to grow
second crop than it would to lie idle
or grow u crop OF weeds that are petty

STANLEY ON LOVE.

Talk to II Woman.

The Unterrificd African Explorer Can't
Talk to Woman.
A very curious letter, in which Henry
NJ. Stanley gives his views on love and
the ladies generally, has fallen into my
hands. The letter is dated from Jermyn
street, London, where Stanley lived be-
fore his departure for his last trip into
the heart of the Dark Continent, and it
is dated August 1, 1854. He says:
For the life of me | can not sit still
a moment when any thing approaching
to love comes upon the tapis. l have
lived with men. not women; and it is
the mans intense ruggednesS. plain
ness. dircctncss, that have contracted
by sheer force of circumstances. Poets
and women appear to me to be so soft,so
very unlike (at least what have SEEM
tho rude type of mankind, that one soon
feels by talking to them that he must
soften his speech and drawl. or effect
singular articulation, lest oifenSe be
taken where none was intended. Hence
men are seldom sincere to women or
poets. Have you ever thought of how
YOU looked when speaking to Il woman?
If my recollcctiOns serves me right,
| have seen you tall< with such an affect
ed softness that | can not compare the
manner of it to any thing better than
that of strong man handling baby
tenderly, gingerly. SO! But my pen is
carrying me away. l wished to say, my
dear friend, thatI am absolutely uncom-
Portable when speaking to a woman, I'M
less she is such rare ono that she Will
let me hear some common sense. The
fact is, | can't talk to women. In their
presence l am just as much of hypo-
critic as any other man, and it gals me
that | must act and be affected, and
parody myself for no earthly reason, but
because | think. with other men, that
to speak on act otherwise would not De
appreciated. 1t is such a false position
that | do not care to putmyself into 1T. -
Stanley then goes on to qualify his
structures by saying that there is one
lady, friend of the poet to whom he
writes, to whom he can speak. because
after the first few minutes of strange
ness have gone. she soon lets you know
that Chatf won't do. Therefore" he adds,
please say hearty friend wishes her
daily enjoyment of her life. "-Theodore
Child, in Woman's Cycle.

Good Advice for Persons Wac Have tn,
Western Fever.
We are asked many times in q wear:
Would you advise me to go West? We
can not answer the question. We can
not give advice upon such a matter
There is the Wost, many parts of it as
splendid land as the sun ever shone
upon, and destined sometime to be as
tlickly settled as Illinois. Much of it
is wild now. There is no civilization,
little government except of the crudest
kind, plenty of rum-shops, and the usual
rough crowd that first finds the frontier
\ mans life and property are safe, how
ever. if he behaves himself, and in time
he will have all the civilization he needs
and wants. Nowif the man has the
pluck and industry to take the rough
diamond that is offered him as free
gift and cut it and polish it, he will
likely become the possersor of some
thing worth having. That is all we can
say.
People are going to Dakota, Montana
and Washington, and some of them seem
to be surprised when they get there to
find that all is rough and wild. What
else can be expected? The prairies are
untouched and the towns are primitive.
If this was not the case the land could
not he had for nothing. Nobody can go
West and find developed farms lying
around loose or citios and towns with
magnificent architecture. building Them
selves. Everybody must turn in, in
new country, and help make it, and out
side of the natural fertility and other
advantages, the community will be just
what the people choose to make it. The
West is rough diamond.-Western

An rmportant Result.

An important contest has been going on
for some time recently in Alabama and has
rust come 20 an end in tho Alabama, State
Democratic Convention, which at the pres
sent writing is in session. IL has been
very warm contest and great deal OF
strong language has been used on both
sides during its continuance. One koLB
made himself the real or supposed farm
ers candidate for the governorship, and
announced that he would conduct his cam
vass for the Democratic nomination as a
Democrat and well within the Democratic
ranks. But he proceeded to attack more
fully acknowledged Democratic leaders
than himself and the Democratic party or
ganization in the State. Heabused both IN
scrupulOusly. according to all accounts. His
method Of warfare has been favorite one
with certain sspirants after fame and place
la other southern States than Alabama
within recent years. 1t is o dangerous one
10 tho peace and well-being OF the people.
II is the method of the demagogue and
not of the patriot. The good people of Ala
bama discovered the danger lurking in MIR.
KoLB's application of il before 1t was too
late. and the Consequence is that the Demo-
cratic Convention when it met voted anti
KoLB from the first by a very fair majority.
Mr.. KoLB had built high on his prospective
strength in the gathering and his loud
boasts somewhat alarmed the true and
tried Democracy But he met with defeat.
and with him went, we trust, for all time
10 come, or il that is too much to hope, for
some time TO come. at least, in Alabama, the
baleful political methods he has been en-
ploying. The South cannot rs yet III any
State permit the disruption of the Demo-
cratic party by any species of independ-
entism" whatsoever. The organization re-
ferred TO stands for the maintenance of
the white mans supremacy throughout
the section and of the existing social sys-
tenn established here at so much cost by
the white mans forefathers. It's destruc-
ton would mean the most serious danger,
not only TO the material interests Of the
South. present and prospective. but even
to the fundamental principles of our
civilization. The Alabama Democrats
have in their turn repealed the insidiOus
attacks of the enemy coming in the gulse
Of Democratic independence so called, and
we are glad 70 say the staunch old Mont |
gomery Advertiser has led in the fight they
have made Az we write the indications
nre that Kolblsm, like Mahonesm in Vir-
ginia and Tilmanism in South Carolina,
has been "squelched."

Dissemination Of the blacks TO house ser.

Disinclination Of the blacks to house ser
vice is beginning 20 be remarkable IN the
South. They are children OF nature and
prefer the free air Of Heaven TO coniine-
ment in houses and factories. have but
little doubt but that with training and ed
ucation the blacks viii become the owners
Of the land which they cultivate.
When they do TINS become the OVID
crs Of other property besides them
selves, they will be good citizens, and pro-
baby prove themselves worthy OF the
right of suffrage, which was prematurely
conferred upon them by interruptions
politicians, thereby creating great peril
which the South has tremendously sur
yived. The danger from that source, how,
ever, now appears to me to bc past, ana II
will be found that the whites and the
blacks will have no difficulty IN hvins
tremendously together, each promoting
the best interests Of the other. Hence, L
have no hesitation IN saying the outlook IS
more encouraging, and that northern men
and capital can transfer themselves 10 tne
South with an unrestrained sense OF ehtire
security.
II see no limit 70 the development of
these great natual resources, but L nope
that my southern friends WIZ keep tne
spirit of land speculation which has set IN
within reasonable bounds. otherwise
there will be a reaction which will be lnju-
nous and retard the healthy growth OF the
South. ! say retard II because do not be-
lieve ANYTHING can permanently arrest the
progress of the South IN the development
of her vast resources and in the promotion
of all the arts Of civilization. Personally,
have 10 thank the southern people Tor
many kindnesses and a graceful hospitality
which is not surpassed anywhere IN the
world. say most sincerely. thank them
all and bid the South God speed
