10 PAY GOOD LAWYERS.
The Government Needs More Money to
Get ne Lost AaaornaHa.

Get the Best Attorney.
WAsHNGroN, Feb. 16.-The Pacific
railroad litigation and various other suits
In which the government is Interested,
have directed the attention of the house
committee on appropriations to the
meagre means allowed the department
of justice for the employment of special
counsel. The railroads and other private
interests retain the ablest lawyers in The
country, but such special counsel as is
retained by the government must be
brought within rate which few lawyers
of standing VIII accept
While Dir Miller was attorney general,
the fund for the employment of special
counsel was $4,000 annually il was
reduced to S20,OJO last year, and IL stands
at that sum in the suudry civil appropri-
alton bill recently reported to the house
The attorney general Is obliged TO spread
this $4,000 over the entire country and
through the entire year.
1t was found that the total was so
small that no retainer beyond $4,000 was
" warranted 1t has been urged I'd MEM
beers Of the committee that counsel Of
sufficient ability to manage the vast in-
terests involved could not be secured for
s.. 100.
One of the officials of the department
of Justice recently talked unOlicially
with the members of the committee as to
the needs of larger special fund.- and it
is probable that the attorney general VIII
authorize an official request for an adj
vance ina the appropriation
The proposition for am advance may be
opposed IN the committee on the ground
that the regular legal officers of the gov
eminent should attend to government
litigation without the employment of out
side counsel But to this the answer is
made that the Pacific railroad litigation
and other important suits demand that
the government should have q legal arr
ray. equal at least TO those representing
private Interests.
While the theory is admitted that gov
eminent attorneys should manage gov
eminent suits, it is said thar the applica-
ton of this theory to important suits viii
seriously cripple the government side of
cases involving MANY millions.

audacity to ask the workinRmen OF the
land to. support their party and its
principles of antagonism to the poor OF
the country. Any Democrat who can
be led astray by the specious arguments
of the Republican party must be entire
10 ignorant of the fact that In every
part of this great land there IS
now going forward a most wonderful
boom in all classes OF business, bought
about the benehcent results of the great
tariff reform bill passed By the Demo-
cratic Congress. This fact is so evil
dent that one can read as he runs. The
furnaces, the mills, the mines are open
once more, and the hum OF reviving in
dustry can be heard on every side.
In conclusion, Col. Arnett paid
glowing tribute to John a. Howard,
candidate for Congress from this dis
trict, and warned every Democrat
against being weaned from mis- true al
legiance when it came to selecting
man to TO 90 to Washington and help
swell the Democratic msjority in round
ing up the work begun in the last Con-
gresS.
The audience was largely composed
of workingmen, and Col. Arnett ad-
dressed himself 10 them particularly.
The speaker was frequently applauded,
the applause being exceptionally en-
phatic at every mention OF the name OF
Mr.. Howard.

CENTRE AND RITCHIE'
VOTERS LISTEN TO ABLE DISCUSSIONS BY
DEMOCRATIC SPEAKERS.
A Big Meeting in the Fifth Ward-Col. Arnet'
in the Righth-Prsparations for
RcKinlsys Coming.

Last evening a Democratic rally and
mass-meeting was held at Remele's
place on Main street below Twenty-sec-
ond. The meeting was large aud en-
thusiastic one, and was addressed by
several good orators.
Mr.. Hugh ClearY was chosen Chair
nan and in few words introduced as
the principal speaker of the eve
ming Mr.. John J. Coniff, the
eloquent young Democratic orator, who
made an address OF over an hour in
length, which delighted the audience.
He arraigned the Republican party aud
exploded, in a concise manner all thelr
boosted utterancss 10 regard to the
workingmen and farmer being oene-
fitted by 8 high tariff. During MS
speech Mr.. Coniff was frequently inter
rupted by loud and vigorous applause
whenever he scored point In FAVOR OF
the Democratic party and the present
administration.
Among other things, he said: THE
foreigner does not pay the tax on goods
imported to this country, as is claimed
by the supporters OF the Mckinley bill.
As an instance of this take the large
packing houses OF Swift. Armour, and
others who import large quantities OF
salt and tin pals, in which they ship
the lard. tallow, etc, TO other coun-
tries. These men are instructed TO
keep an account Of these things, and are
allowed a rebate Of the duty. Now, II
the foreigner pays the tax, what right
have those firms TO this rebate? II l
were foreigner and had TO pay the tax
/ would sue these men for that money
they got out Of treasury, as II certainly
belonged TO me when l paid the tariff
duty"
Mr.. Coniff made many other good
points in favor az the Wilson bill and
against the Mckinley bill in speaking
OF the duty on wool, lumber, etc.
Hon. J. 3. Wilson, candidate for
House OF Delegates, was the
next speaker introduced, and he
spoke very sntertainingly on
the issues Of the campaign, and showed
in a clear and convincing manner that
things were not as the Republicans
would have the people believe.
Mr.. Julius Pollock followed NJ WIZ
son and shoke for a short time. The
attention of the large audience, mum
bariuC between 900 and 400 people, was
riven 10 the speakers without inter-
ruption for over three hours, and each
speaker was loudly applauded.

ouE NEIeHnoK PLANET.

The opposition Of Mars TO the sun,
which occurred yesterday, was not
looked forward to by the astronomers
with the expectation Of any decidedly
new discovery. The near approach Of
the neighborly planet has already al
fordsd the most important confirmation
of the recent epoch-msrking Marian
observations reported from the Falstatf
(Arizona) Observatory.
Astronomer PEECIvAL LOWELL re-
Gently announced to the new world that
he had sspled q great snow line upon
Mars, which was gradually vanishing.
The latest observations through the
telescope reveal that every vestige Of
this snowy cap has disappeared, Mr..
LowELL's previous explanation that the
peculiar phenomena were due TO melting
snow caps seems to be corrobsrated by
this sequence, aud bis hypothesis Of
sprlng freshet upon Mars be-
comes more credible. The discovery by
his associate, Mr.. DOUGLAS, OF length
wise division Of the prominent Lake Of
she Sun" will also inspire fresh inyesti-
CATION Of the canal-lIke markings Of
Mars.
