The Youths Companion of Febru-
ary 18th publishe. an unusually valu-
able article for young mon, by the
Lord Chief Justice Of England, on
"The Bar as q Profession" Sound
advice taken from q long and varied
experience, and wise encouragement
are given to young and prospective
lawyers. 1t is as readable as 4 story,
vet will bear careful study.
OF eloquence Lord Russell SAYS:
"The desirable thing il to have some
thing to say; and IS to the manner OF
saying it, Daniel Webster spoke truly
in his celebrated Grafton in honor OF
John Adams when he said, Clear
ness. force and earne.tness are the
qualities which produce conviction I"
Regarding the necessary qualifica-
tions for law: Love OF the profession
for its own sake, and physical health
to endure its trials, cd
common sense and ability to wait are
the main considsrationA to be taken
into account in determining q choice
OF the bar as a profession. II tho
youthful aspirant possese these, sue
cess is, humanity speaking, certain.
The lawyer must remember that
while he is fighting for the interests
of his client, there are greater inter
ests even than these; the interests Of
truth and honor: and he must never
forget, as Sir Alexander Cockburn
well expressed it, "that in the battle
his weapon must always be the sword
Of the soldier, and never the dagger
Of the assassin.
For the next issue Of The Compau-
ion, the Washington. Birthday \ um
| ber, Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes,
| the able inheritor Of a great name,
has written an interesting suppIs-
ment 10 Lord Russell's article, pre-
| senring the subject from An American
point Of view. Appended to the
article are brief rejoinder BY Lord
| Russell and 4 final comment by Mr..
| Justice Holmes.
Each issue Of The Companion con.
| tain. one or more articles Of excep-
tional value, written by the ablest
men and women of the age.

Heartless Has the Senatorial Fight in
Kentucky Become.

Frankfort, KY, Feb. S.-Ths Re-
publicans refused this morning to
allow one of their number to pair
with Senator Ogilvie Dem }, who is
very i'll, They acknowledge that
they expect him to die.
There is less indication of trouble
now than there has been. The
crowds of prospective "deputies"
are smaller and more orderly
Though Gov. Bradley denies the
stories that it has been decided to
call out the State troops to suppress
any possible conflict in the Legisla
ture, he does not deny that the
proposition was discussed in the
Republican caucus last night, but
he said that he had not yet looked
up the law on the subject, and was
not fully convinced that he has au-
thority to call out troops under such
circumstances.
The Legislature is growing weary
Of the fight. In the House this
morning a resolution was adopted
unanimously calling on Congress to
make the election of Senators by the
people direct. In the Senate a Joint
resolution was introduced to adjourn

Congressman Hall, in a speech in
the house Saturday, placed himself
squarely on record in regard to his
views on the silver question, taking
sides in favor of the gold standard
Mr.. Hall represents a 16 to l dis.
trict and certainly counted the cost
before he took the stand he did, and
much credit should be given him for
honesty of convictions and sincerity
of purpose in making change from
free coinage to the single standar d
idea.

Nationally tho populist party has
gone out of business. At tho last
election there were several states
their vote amounted to almost moth
ing, and if they again attempt to
run a ticket it will have to be done
by petition. So the populists will
have to content themselves with
county tickets here and there where
they have an organization.

The London Spectator" has an
article on the prevailing restlessness
of nations, in which it speaks OF
probability that some sort of disas'
trous explosion among them is near
at hand. 1t refers to the develop
ment of socialism in France and also
in Germany. Toe German Emperor
can not be quiet, and dreams that
he is to be the child Of the centu-
ries Russia has fevsrish symptoms
and still oppresses the Jews; Italy is
not happy, and Turkey is inhamed
with it's old murderous passions.
Americans are said to be about to
forego old policies and mix in the
politics Of the world. In England,
with her external calm,' there are
uueasiness, resentments, and unset,
tied points in economics. Whether
these phases OF emotion will pass
off harmlessly remains to be seen.
There is a possibility of furious wars
