ATTRACTIONS or THE LAW
Sacrifices That Young Men Make In tn,
Hope OF Fame ana Fortune.

|
Hope OF Fame ana Fortune.
Considerably over two hundred young
men are graduated annually from the
law schools of this city. The grad
yates include not only the usual mum
Der OF well-schooled young men with
friends to help them and perhaps
means at command, but as well con.
siderable percentage of men who come
to their law studies without the advan.
tage OF good grounding in English,
Latin, and the sciences, without money
or financial friends, and with wives
and children dependent upon them for
support. Some of these latter finish
their law studies at an age when most
lawyers have been from three to ten
years in practice.
Persons acquainted with the difficult.
ties that beset the young lawyer in
New York wonder what the new grad.
yates in law of this sort are to do.
They are earning in various occupa-
tions from seven hundred and fifty to
fifteen hundred dollars year. Few
of them can hope to earn Immediately
at the law above six hundred dollars
year. and almost none can hope within
four or five years to earn by his prac-
tice as much as the most successful
now earn by their present occupations
Most of such graduates in law hope to
find law clerkships at five hundred to
six hundred dollars year, but for
these they must compete with the
cleverest and best educated men from
the most famous law schools in the
country. Those who take the alterna.
tive of setting up offices for themselves
must sacrifice ordinarily all of their
present income for an uncertainty that
may not yield three hundred dollars in
the first year, and may yield less than
one thousand dollars in the third or
fourth or fifth year. Some never get
beyond law clerkships; some never find
themselves able to give up the trade
that earns their bread in order to be-
gin that by which they hoped to earn
both bread and fame. Enough succeed
to insure full classes in the law schools
year after year.
AS matter of fact the law continues
to attract men here and elsewhere, in
spite of statistics that prove the aver
age earnings of lawyers to be below
those of skilled mechanics. Men with |
families to support work all dav and
pay from ten to twenty-five per cent. |
of their incomes annually for the OPP
portunity of studying law at night.
Other men work all night for the OPP
portunity of studying law by day.
Naval officers stationed here sometimes
squeeze in law lectures along with
their duties to the government. Ste
Office boys, newsboys and
Ill sorts of Woodworking people share
the belief that chance to practice
aw is worth almost any sacrifice of
time and energy. Country folk still
say of any bright lad, HE ought to
De q lawyer" and the same belief in
he law as a profession seems to be
leld by great many New Workers of
Ill sorts. 1t is still held to be the pro-
ession that leads to dignities and hon
,rs, to political success, and even to
wealth. N. Y. Sun.

WATER POWER.
American and European Methods OF Using
1t in n Large Way.

| American and European Methods OF Using
1t in Large Way.
| The standard American method of
utilizing large amount of water pow
err has hitherto been to distribute the
water to the several consumers or mill
owners by means OF system of head
races. so called, with facilities for it's
discharge at a lower level, to be util-
| lied as the owner orlessee saw fit, and
generally on his own premises. This
| led to long head canals, and to insig-
nificant tail-races, whereas the Niagara
plant consists of a common tail-race, a
mile and half long, with comparative
ly insignificant head-races. The old
time water power company sold or
leased the right to draw definite
quantity of water at defined times,
with the privilege of discharging it at
lower level, and the mill owner did
the rest; whereas at Niagara falls the
right is leased to discharge definite
quantity of water into the tail-race
tunnel, with the privilege of drawing
this quantity from the head canal, or
from the river. But over and above
this the product-power-may be con.
tracted for at Niagara falls, delivered
on the shaft.
To create large group of mill sites
of the older sort there was necessary,
in the first instance, large, continu-
GUS body of land, properly located for
the purpose If this could not be
bought up secretly, and in large blocks,
the whole water-power enterprise
would fail to come to fruition. In Eu-
rope, however, several such enterprises
came into being in spite of the in
ability of the projectors to primarily
buy tracts of land such as have been
described. This was done by estab-
fishing central power stations near the
dam, or head canal. and then trans
hitting the power produced. instead
of the water to produce it, to the con-
sumers or mill owners. Up to within,
say, five years. this had always been
by means of wire-rope |
transmissions of power, and it is easy |
to see that the Invention of the cleo
tricaI transmission of power would give |
this form of the utilization of a large |
water power a great impetus Many |
such plants are, therefore, already in
existence. many are building. but
among them all no one is probably so
celebrated aud is attracting the attcn-
ton of all intelligent men as this n;
falls.-Cassier's Magazine

The Wayne OF populism.

The November elections showed
conclusively that the Populist party is
going to pieces. For instance, in
Iowa that party polled almost IS, 200
votes last year. The Democratic state
feonvention voted down free coinage,
and the Populist leaders believed
they would consequently receive large
accessions of free silver Democrats.
But the result showed that the total
Populist vote is several thousands
less than a year ago. Exactly the
same thing occurred in Ohio. The
Democrats declared for sound money,
yet the Populists vote showed no in
crease. Coxey had few more votes
than the head of the Populists ticket
last year, but the rest of his ticket
was compile of thousand below the
vote of 1894.
The case of Mississippi is also illus
trative of the decay of the party. In
that state they made strong fight in
two or three of the Congressional dis
tricts last fall, and their success in
polling in these cases more than half
as many votes as the Democrats en-
couraged them to believe that they
might make strong showing in the
local and state elections this fall.
But as the canvass proceeded, their
hopes fell, and a solitary member of
the legislature is all that they can
offer as evidence that they were in the
contest.
There are other signs of the decay
of the party in the West Populist
papers ara saspending, and the Or
ganization dropping to pieces in va
rious parts. Nowhere do. they show
any increase. OF course the chief fac
tor in this decline Of Populism is the
-unsoundness Of the theories
of the party advocates; and
another is the bad character of Popu-
list government where 1t had chance
at office-holding. Kansas Colorado
and North Dakota were foolish
enough to be takenin by the arguments
of the Populists, and elected such men
as Waite and Lewelling for governors.
The attention of. the whole country
was challenged by the riot of misrule
that followed. and the people refused
to support an organization that stood
for corrupt administration Of public
business. The party is dying, and it
is we'll for the country that it is so.
