Rescript, by Judge Walton. An agreement to
be champertous, must stipulate for the prose-
cution or defense of suit Litigation is an es-
sential element of champerty. Scott V. Har-
mon. 1913 Mass. 237.
In this case the defendant agreed in writing
''to endeayor to collect note,' the plaintiff to
have SIS, If that amount should be collected,
and the defendant to have all over that sum,
and to pay all expenses incurred in the collec-
ton; but no mention was made of a suit as one
of the means to be employed in the collection;
and no suit was in fact employed.
Held; That the plaintiff cannot maintain his
suit upon the ground that the agreement was
champertouS.
The presiding justice instructed the jury that
such an agreement between an attorney and
his client Is prdnoG fdcSe fraudulent: and that
the burden is upon the defendant to satisfy
them, by a fair preponderance of evidence, that
he acted with all due fidelity towards the plain
tiff. The jury returned verdict for the de-
fendant A careful examination of the evidence
fails to satisfy the law court that the verdict
should be set aside. The evidence was con-
,.licting, but the case came fairly within the
pr oyince of the jury to decide.
The jury have found upon competent evidence
that there was no fraud,
Motion and exceptions overruled.

A Cherished Anniversary, Says. Mayor
Grant.
The glorious 22d of February should be
a cherished anniversary in our land. What
ever serves TO inspire patriotic feeling in
the younger generations or rsvives it in the
older is a benefit to our free institutions.
To my mind nothing could be of more SER
vice in this direction than the observances
of the 22d, which direct attention to the
lofty patriotism, great craftsmanship, high
ideals and wonderful foresight Of the
father of our country. His DEVOTED efforts
to secure the blessings of liberty to those
of his time md posterity are made plain
to US in the story Of those DAYS, and the
ability with which the men Of that time
disposed of the problems in hand and pro-
vided for those to como are equally appar-
emit in the Declaration of Independence
and in the constitution Of tho United States.
The anniversary Of W~ashinRton's birthday
and these documents are the fitting foundN-
ton of ceremoniss of celebration. Then

"Fallinc Into Desuctude."

! believe Washington's birthday should
have a more general and definite observ-
ance. It looks as if the celebration Of the
day we're falling into desuetude. Now, as
much rs any other time, VIC need the con-
centration of public attention on a figure
in tho worlds history, associated with the
most pregnant epoch in the development Of
the history of human liberty. Washington
was peculiarly a man fitted for the admira.
tion and veneration of posterity. In no
other character Of history whose life was
crowned with glittering success was there
such a combination OF military sagncity.
civil pride and patience in disaster as in his.

I, He Hasn't ANY Doubt.

Can Cleveland carry New York? Sem
ator Hill is on record as saying that had
the campaign Of four years ago been
prolonged fortnight the ex-president
would have won. The senator was
speaking in Albany two days after the
last presidential election and he said:
"The principle Of tariff reform has only
met with temporary defeat. Sooner Or
later it will ultimately triumph in this
country. President Cleveland and the
Democratic party were right and de-
served to succeed. The argument was
with us and two weeks longer Of discus
sion would have given us the victory"
The discussion has now been going on
for nearly four years, and if the governor
Of New York believed what he said then
he cannot have much doubt now con-
corning the triumph of the Democratic
host of next November Springfield Re
publican.
