LAWYERS PRIyILEG ES.

The return of SEELY, the bank thief,
to New York and the prompt conclusion
of the episode by the plea of guilty 10y
the accused, suggests series of retiec-
tions that are more or less interesting.
One of these is the attitude of lawyers
toward crime, previous TO the arrest OF
guilty parties.
The lawyer who represented SEELY
soon as it became known that SEELY had
apparently committed the crime and had
fled from justice.
1t is impossible to judge to what
extent justice was balked or hindered
by the attitude Of this lawyer, because
1t was never apparent what he knew.
He created the impression that he was
in SEELY's confidence and might have
given the authorities important informa-
tion had he been so inclined. The Sc
quel showed that SEELy had no defence
and he had The good sense to plead
guilty and saye the State greaS expense
and trouble. He did it, however, in the
the absence of his lawyer, who seemed
to resent the action, though taking 10
steps to have it set aside.
OF course it is not possible to Judge
this particular case, nor any particular
case but it serves to illustrate phase
Of the activity Of lawyers that has be-
come very prominent, in New York,
especially.
Is there any justification at all for a
who is fugitive from justice, when
such action manifestly delays justice,
and often defeats it?
Has q lawyer the right, under the plea
of confidential relations with a client, to
stand between that client and prelimi-
nary operations Of courts, that are
intended to clear the innocent of unjust
suspicion as well as to convict and
punish the guilty?
Ii has seemingly been admitted, by
the forbearance Of the machinery of JUS
SEELY's, that lawyers have right to
advise clients who are evading arrest,
and that they are to be left unmolested
in doing so. 1t Is difficult to regard
such action in any light other than one
that suggests compounding with felony.
In sense, vital sense, a lawyer be-
comes an ofIicar of the court before
which he is licensed to practice. There
is grave obligation resting upon him
to assist in the administration Of
justice. When case is Lefore
court the counsel for the
defense is allowed wide liberty in his
attempt to break down the case against
his client. 1t is the prosecution that must
work out a perfect theory and fortify
every point with facts that cannot be
disputed.
But the extension to the period be-
fore arrest Of the lawyers prerogative
to employ all means to avert from his
client the consequence Of crime COM
mitted, aud allowing him to labor
for the defeat of all action against
his client, by advising him
in avoidance of arrest, or by thwarting
the efforts of police to find him, seems
to raise a question in legal ethics that
will eventually attract the serious atten-
tion of the judiciary and of law makers.

Mr.. GRESHAM will not be able to see it
in this light. AS long as England Is
having her way he will be content TO
maintain all the neutrality the strictest
Interpretation of the Monroe doctrine
calls for.
Whether Japan will submit TO be
bullied by England and Russia remains
to be demonstrated. She has not mani
tested a disposition to listen to foreign
advice or interference. but the presence
of large squadrens OF English and Russian
war ships near China and Japan is an
argument that has to be reckoned at its
full weight and significance. Japan
cannot cope with)them in action; but
Japan can, and doubtless will, take full
advantage of the. diplomatic possibili-
ties. IL may be that England
and Russia may receive civil hints
from other European powers that
their attitude in the East must not be-
come beleigerent beyond the phrasing of
messages of diplomacy. 1t is not the
easiest thing in the world, nowadays,
for any nation to pursue its own way IN
matters affecting others, even remotely
or contingently.
The Star in the East, Japan, does not
seem as yet to attract alteration from
the wise men of the West, and its course
toward IN sured place in the con-
stellation of nations will be watched
with the greatest interest by the whole
world.

The rapidity with which values increase
when IL is known that property Is wanted for
public purposes is signally illustrated at the
hearings given in Providence by the State

rarely deviated from, that when city or state
desires TO purchase IL must pay at least three
times as much for II as private citizen
would BE- asked for the same property.

A ROMANCE OF THE WAR.

Union and Confederate Soldiers Meet Thirl
ty Years After One Saved the Other.
After quarter of a century q brief
acquaintance begun under peculiar
circumstances has been renewed by
Capt. Creed Milstead, of Portsmouth,
o., finding the confederate soldier
whose life he saved. The famous bat
tie Of Lynchburg began on the after
noon of June H. 1864 and lasted two
days, at the end of which the federal
forces, under Hunter, were forced to
retreat after stubborn stand before
the forces of the confederates under
Gen. Early, Hunter, after the bat
tie of Port Royal, where he defeated
the confederates, moved his troops up
the Shenandoah valley, and at Staun-
ton, Va, he was joined by the First
brigade, Second division of the Eighth
army corps, with Gen. George Crook as
division commander and Gen. r. B.
Hayes as brigade commander. In this
brigade was the Fifth West Virginia
infantry, Gen. w. II. Enoch's old COM
pany, and in this company was Private
Creed Milstead.
After the fight of the first day, June
II, the federal forces had been steadily
advancing under a heavy fire, and with
sharp and bloody contest for every
inch of ground. All about were the
dead and dying-federal and confed-
crate, ''in one red burial blent." The
union forces were bivouacked on the
field. About the scene of carnage
moved the medical corps to alleviate
the sufferings of the wounded and dy-
ing. Also over the field moved the
dark and stealthy forms of those
jaclals which only put on their hid
eous forms in times like this. Many a
groan was stifed by hands which
sought to rob when resistance was i'm
possible. Through the darkness Pri-
vate Milstead observed a form of one
of these fends in the attire of the
