Zoe MANY Lawyers in oonsreps.

Most Of the questions that come be-
fore congress now are business ones.
About all the great constitutional ques-
tions have been settled. Consequently
there is much more need of clear-headed.
practical business men in congress than
there is of lawyers. The great majority Of
congressman, however, are lawyers, and
although the most of them are men of ex-
cellent ability, comparatively few of them
are we'll fitted for dealing In practical
and common sense way with the matters
in which the people are now particularly
interested.
They can talk and talk we'll, but much
of what they say fails to show they have
a comprehensive knowledge of the sub
jects discussed. The parts of the tariff
speeches, for instance, that receive the
most applause on the floor of the House
are those which make some pretense to
oratory, not those which show a thorough
knowledge of the various phases of the
tariff. A warm political debate be-
tween two political opponents COM
mands the attention of full
House, while clear and well considered
the tariff bill receives little or no atten-
ton. The reason is that the lawyers are
not particularly interested in the tariff
because they know very little about it,
and they are not willing to make thor
ough study of it. When one of them
desires to speak on the tariff he reads up
on the subject sufficiently to enable him
to make creditable speech, but what he
says helps very little to bring about the
kind of legislation needed.
More than two months ago the Secre-
tary of the Treasury called the attention
of congress to the condition of the treas
ury, and said that relief legislation of
some kind would soon be needed. There
has been no such legislation and there is
not likely to be any. Those who oppose
the issuing of bonds want the seigniorage
of the silver bullion now in the treasury
coined, and Others want paper money is
sued directly by the government. The
Secretary of the Treasury is sharply criti-
cised for announcing a bond issue under
an act passed eighteen years ago, but no
steps have been taken to authorize the
coinage of the seigniorage of the silver
bullion nor has anything been done for
the relief of the treasury. The lawyers
of congress talk, but they do nothing. A
few capable business men would dispose
of the tariff and financial questions in
half the time it takes congress 10 do it,
and they would dispose of them much
more satisfactorily than the lawyers in
congress are likely to. The people ought
to send more business men and fewer
lawyers to congress. The change would
certainly be for the better.

The republicans in the House, notwith-
standing they are high protectionists, vote
for free trade amendments to the Wilson
bill whenever they have an opportunity.
They do it, not because they love free
trade more, but their country less, and
are willing to continue the suspense Incl
dent to tariff revision in order to hurt
business and make, if they can, party cap
ital out of the ruins. If the republicans
were sincere in their professions they
would vote against free trade amend
ments with more spirit than against
amendments to reduce the tariff.

Seventy years ago to-day that great
leader of men who stood before Bee at
Bull Run like a stone wall' was born.
Owing to the anniversary falling on Sun
day, there viii be few celebrations of the
occasion besides that of the Stonewall
Camp of Confederate Veterans at Ports
mouth, Va, to-day. Nevertheless, Jack
son, the beauideal of southern bravery
and chivalry, will be fondly remembered
throughout the south, more especially by
those who wore the grey with him, and
who, on day before yesterday, joined the
parades in honor of "Old Stonewall's"
great friend and compatriot, Lee.
Secretary j. Sterling Morton is another
man who will be loved for the enemies he
has made. Populistic organizations in the
west continue to pass resolutions con-
demning him.

Inc PltJSOurg DlSpatch has a Tallahas-
see dispatch telling queer story of the
visit of Manager Bowden, of the Duval
Athletic Club, to Gov Mitchell. The
story goes that Bowden, at the Leon
hotel, proposed to pay sos, 900 to the char
liable institutions of the state if the gov
ernor would withdraw his opposition to
the prize fight. The governor listened
till Bowden was through, and then re-
piled: "Florida is not rich state, but
there is some money in its treasury
There is no necessity for Florida to enter
into compact with the so-called Duval
Athletic Club. an organization without a
character, Mr.. BOwden. Why don't you
so and bother Gov. Northen, of Georgia
with your schemes ~ The storyis absurd
on It's face. Owing to the spirited oppo-
sition of Gov. Mitchell, it is a matter of
doubt that the Duval clubwili sell tickets
enough to make up the $4,000 it has put
up as purse. And il is certain that
the club would not give away a fortune
with absolutely no hope of return, merely
for the pleasureof seeing the tight and the
notoriety Of having brought it of.

II combines the joint business OF the
Plttsburg, Lehigh Valley, Central New
Jersey. New York Central, West Shore,
