There is one thing / hope the legisla-
ture will do at this session. viz: Repeal
the existing law relating to admission
to the bar. The present law is an out
rage on the rights of citizen who as
pires to practice law in this liberty-lov-
ing commonwealth. The supreme court
has no right to nolle pros. my ambi-
ton to fill the late Iamented B. f. But
ler'S shoes; it was not intended by the
fathers who framed the constitution
that the supreme court of any state
should stand between the citizen and
his inalienable right to engage i'll any
profession or business. / want to prac-
tiee law, but the supreme court says
shall not unless [ study law three years.
and file half-dozen affidsiyitS esides.
The great lawyers who nave illu-
mined the Americen bar spent no more
than year III the preliminary study OF
the law, and 1t is unfair for Minnesota
to erect barrier over which none but
the rich and scholarly can climb.
Give the Door man chance to prac-
ice law in this great state. l am grow

SECRETARY GRESHAM.

Those who think Democrat ought to
have been appointed should remember
that, for one reason and another, several
DISTINGUISHED Democrats have declined
the offer of the place, and they should
not forget, either, that Judge Gresham
is very much of Democrat Philadel-
pha Record.
Apart from the fact that Judge Gresh-
am is man of the highest character
and of decided ability, his selection is
new guarantee of the disregard of mar
row political considerations on the part
of Mr.. Cleveland. The appointment
would be regarded with enthusiasm in
the West.--New York Times.
In Offering him high place in the
councils of the administration, whether
it is accepted or declined, the president
elect gives to the country supreme
guarantee that the Democratic party has
not invited the confidence of its ''bon-
orable allies" in order to betray it
New York World.
He is quite as much Democrat in
faith today as either Cleveland or Ste
venson, and he has large following,
especially in the West. that accepted
his Judgment i'll the late contest, as is
shown by the large Democratic majori-
tiCS HI lioldiId anu liiltIOIS.-I HliduCl-
phia Times.
Judge Gresham is so much better than
the Republican party that he is to all
intents a Democrat-and long ways
better Democrat than some of those
who pass for Democrats in New Eng
land and New York.-St. Louis Re-
public.
The conversion of Judge Gresham to
rnnIIipn I,l,,n iS
haps one of the most distinguished serv-
ices that Mr.. Cleveland has yet rem
dered to his party.-New York Sun.
1t is nonsense to say that there are no
Democrats of sufficient bigness to fill
the office. However, that is matter Of
Democratic concern ne.-MllWaukee

Written for the Globe.1


T stood in Justice halls An air of gloom
And melancholy DER me crept, an alt
Peryading sense of some impending fate
Possessed my heart. and made it culprit seem
Against Itself. In lounging attitudes,
About the room, men stood in groups or
strolled 81
Uneasily about as if pursued III
By haunting dread or fear.
But one there was more pale than all the
Who sat apart and vacant stared like one
Preoccupied. Ashamed, he hung his head.
A prisoner, this man; q criminal
At least so charged by cold relentless law,
Which he admits by self-confessed plea. n
Young and handsome he, with looks Ill
suited
Such morbid scenes to grace; unhardened,

By life to crime allied.
But soon
The Judge appears. Respect and Awe BIZ
Close follow in his wake and take their place
Beside him where he sits. OF grave dem can,
A hasty glance those traits of mind discern,
Which closer scrutiny, kindly eyes belle. !,
Now at the bar the young man trembling
stands,
And by his side youthful advocate,
A sym pathetic friend of boyhood days,
Who speaks, in measured words, mournful
plea,
And begs for mercy at the Judges hands.
And aged mother now bereft of him,
The prop and stay of her declining years.
On hearing this. the accused most bitter
Weeps,
And tears course down his cheeks in cop1ous
streams;
A piteous spectacle for men to scan.
Aye, e'en the judge accustomed as he is
TO witness sorrows of poor sinful men,
Is moved to deep compassion by the scene.
The plea is done,
The sentence Of the court pronounced; the

Severe has been avenged. and that young
In grief retires, the convict's garb to don.

In His last agony, forgaye the thief,

KANSAS CITY. Feb. 1S.-The body of

following to say about the delinquent

A delinquent tax bill has been intro

per cent on the taxes until paid. This
does away with the 10 per cent penalty
on June l and the additional per cent

II to per cent. A most righteous pro-
vision. Hitherto the state has assumed
the attitude of robber.

Another Lot of Opium by
Express.
An Effort Made to Catch the Mon
goI COnsignee, but He Was
Just Too Cunning.

Another seizure OF opium was made by
the customs authorities yesterday. The
stuff had been struggled in in the same
manner as the two lots seized by the in
ternal revenue agents last Friday and Sat-
urday, namely, by Wells, Fargo & Co.'s
express, except thatit came fro IN the north
instead of from Mexico.
Collector Wise had a conference with
Deputy Surveyor Ruddell the night be-
fore. and as result Inspector d. 5. Nc
Kenna was detailed to watch the express
company. He found among the waybils
that package marked 81 mat" of a value
of $3.50 had come IN from Portland by the
Oregon express and vas consigned to
Quung Lung at s13h Dupont street II
was followed up by him and Inspector
Shepman until the eXpress-driver reached
QuOng Lungs store. There the willy
Chinese merchant refused to sign for it,
saving that 1t did not belong to him. The
two inspectors had hoped to catch the con-
signee as well as the drug, but Quong
Lungs cunning defeated their plans.
The seizure was made early in the after
noon. When the box in which the opium
had been shlpped-a common nut-oil box
covered with ricestraw matting-was
opened at the Custom-hOuse It was found
that 1t contained JOG flve-tael tins Of the
Victoria Lai Yueu brand of manufacture,
worth about 5000.
There were regular import stamps upon
the tins, but of very ancient date, the
same as the lots struggled in from Mexico,
via Fl PasO The theory at the Custom
house is that the stamps have been secured
by the Illicit dealers at seizure sales and
are made TO serve their purpose by being
carefully Sweated off the original tins and
pasted upon the Mexican and British
Columbia articles. To an uniformed
person it would appear that the duty had
been regularly paid upon the contrabrand
stuff.
Collector Wise proposes to have the ex-
press companies and the malls closely
watched to prevent, if possible, the illegal
business.
Speaking. yesterday, of the Government
sales of opium, Collector Wise said he
would not rest satisfied in the future with
the stereotyped values placed upon opium
by the Appraiser. Heretofore one ap-
praisement has served for all, whether ii
was Hon g-Kong opium, Victoria manufac-
ture or domestic dope, but from now on
the opium is to be appraised specifically,
and If at the sale it does not bring the
amount fixed the Collector says it will not
be sold at all. Thus he hopes to break up
the Chinese combinations.

The Davie Ferry VIII Undoubtedly
Resume Operations.

Inc DaVIe Ferry VIII Undoubtedly
Resume Operations.
The creditors Of the DAVE Transporta.
ton Company met yesterday afternoon in
the company's Office to receive the report
of a committee appointed to investigate
its affairs.
A statement was read showing that the
liabilities were S146S0, $500 OF which is
a disputed claim of the Whitney EXPRESS
Company. The assets consist of the
steamer Frank Silva. valued at $4,000.
The committee had not examined the
hooks, but had taken the statement as
given by the officers of the company as to
its affairs.
Ii was stated that the Rosalie had been
purchased for S75, coo, although member
OF the committee said she is worth only
$4,000. One payment of $4,000 was
made on the steamer, but the second pay
ment was deiaulted. The committee
recommended that receiver be appointed
to act for the creditors, and that the COM
paEy be allowed TO operate the ferry in
the meantime.
Another proposition was made that all
attachments should be dissolved; that j.
IL. DaVie and other members of the CON-
pany should give their personal notes,
properly Endorsed. as security for the liza
bilities. Then Mr.. Davie would be allowed
to operate the steamer and pay off the
debts in eighteen monthly installments.
Mr.. Dayie stated that the expenses
amounted to $50 a day and the receipts
to 500. SO that the venture was profitable
enough. The trouble had been that The
receipts had been all applied to the pay
ment on the Resale.
The meeting was finally adjourned for a
week to give the mem bers of the company
time to consider the proposal made that
personal security should be given by the
directors. a general disposition was mani
tested to give the company all needed Iati-
tude for the adjustment of its affairs.
