Are LAWYERS the Fittest?

y
Wichita Eagle
The editors Of this country do the
talking and the lawyers fill the pOliti-
cal positions; the editors the thinking,
the lawyers rake in the political per.
quisities. While the editors solve the
knOtty problems Of state the lawyers
utilize the pointers thus given them
and proceed to officially pose and
enunciate. The editorial profession
is the most progressive, that of the
lawyer the least.
An analysis of the occupations OF
members Of the new congress shows
that more than One-half Of the sena-
tors and representatives are lawyers.
This does not vary materially from
the usual proportion. A great pre-
ponderanCe Of lawyers is also the rule
In the state legislatures, except in the
purely agricultural commonwealth.
In other words, our legislation is
largely, as it always has been, in the
hands of lawyers. The character Of
the legal profession is therefore a
matter Of vital importance as regards
the character Of our law-making bod
les. This being true the progress and
character Of that profession becomes
OF importance. Is the personnel Of
the profession greater than formerly
or less significant and prOnouncedP 1t
would be presumption in an editor to
pass upon so important a question.
But one OF these our fraternity has.
Chief Justice Field Of the MaSSaChu-
sets supreme court, in late address
said that as he looked over the audi
euCe came the reflection that in the
representatives of the generation Oh
the arts and sciences he found marked
progress everywhere except in the
legal profession. There is he thought
too little advance in the science of
civil government and the failure must
remain at the doors of the legal pro-
fessiOn. He said he doubted if the
men in public life today are wiser
than our fathers, or even our grand
fathers.
When the inbred repugnance of ev-
cry lawyer to Criticise his brethren is
taken into consideration, the words OF
Chief Justice Field are significant.
The question is, or the trouble seems
to be, with the profession too much
politics and too little the science of
law

GOld-Bug Baker of Kansas.

Silver Knight.
Senator Baker, of Kansas, distin-
guished himself on January oath BY
making an elaborate gOld-bug speech
In which he practically Endorsed the
crime of 1873 and labOred to vindicate
the secret methods by which the SEN
atcr from Ohio deceived the Senate
and the President and excluded the
silver dollar from the list Of coins in
the codifcatiOn of the mint laws.
tits true Mr.. Baker denounced gold
monOmetalliStS, silver monOmetallists
and declared himself a bimetallist
but said he was opposed to the coin.
age at the ratio of l6 to l, which he
and everybody else knows is the only
way TO obtain bimetallism. He said;
II am a firm believer in what | under.
stand to be bimetalliSm. Our legisla.
ton should be along the line of equal.
ity and parity between the metals at
the ratio of 16tOl."

New Conditions Demand Progress.

Christian Standard.
The newspapers are crying out
against the pool Of the trunk-line
railroads. They are astonished taat
the railroads should thus combine iD
defiance of law and public opinion.
But we believe that this pool is a
necessary and inevitable step in a
movement over which neither legis-
latiOn nor public opinion" has any
control. For a hundred years the
concentration of capital into larger
and larger aggregates has been going
steadily and resistlessly onward. The
means of production are passing out
Of the hands of the many into the
hands Of the few. Manufactures are
no longer carried on in small shops,
where the wOrkmen own their tools
and machinery, but in great estab-
lishmentS where everything is owned
by corporation. Transportation is
no longer carried on by individuals
owning one or few teams, or a boat
or two, but by corporations owning
thousands Of miles Of railroad or
whole fleets of steamships. As small
operators have had to give place to
these large operators, so it is now
coming to pass that single corpora
tions must give way 10 huge cOmbina-
lions of corpOratiOns-trustS, pools,
syndiCateS, or whatever else they
may be called. 1t is useless to CON-
plain of it, or kick against it. 1t is a
phase of development for which
neither capitalists nor workingmen
nor statesmen are responsible. Nat
ural agents and instruments of pro-
ductiOn and transformation are being
speedily subjected to single con-
trolling and directing power, and the
question is, whether this power shall
be private, and for the enrichment of
the few, or public and for the welfare
OF the many; whether the industrial
world shall be organized as an aris-
tocracy or democracy.

Old Party Men Join the Silver Move

y '~t>f menL.
Daily American, Creston, Iowa.
We are pleased to note that such
strong men as Hon. Fred White, ex-
member Of congress from the Sixth
District, Frank Stuart, Of the Charlton
Democrat, ex-senator L. R Bolter,
Amos Steckel and ex-State Auditor ].
A. Lyons have identified themselves
with the new silvermovement. There
are no more ADLER men in the state than
these. Hon.; Fred White was one of
the ablest men this state ever sent to
congress. His record there will al
ways stand as one of the best of the
most brilliant. His tariff speeches
were by far the best campaign litera-
ture circulated in Iowa by the Demo-
Gratis, and the people never had an
ADLER campaign nor purer man than
Mr.. White.
Hon. L, R. Bolter, of Harrison
county, was for years, one Of the
champions Of the Democratic party,
when that party advocated democracy,
and Frank Stuart, of the Charlton
Democrat, who made such a splendid
run for congress in this district two
years ago, has no superior as a writer or
thinker. Mr.. Lyons has heretofore
been a'Republican Of the Abe Lincoln
variety. He is a strong, resolute man
and fighter for principles. With
such men coming to the front as the
champions of such popular move.

The Eagles Position.

Topeka Journal.
The Wichita Eagle appears to have
a leaning toward Allison as a choice
for PRECEDENT. The Eagle favors silver
and Allison is a pronounced gold
standard advocate. The Eagle says,
however, that Allison in reality IA
vors bimetalism, but that his position
as a leader demands conservatism.
Conservatism, which always means a
compromise with the oppressOrs of
the people, may be necessary in a cam
dldate in order to win the support of
the men who furnish the money to
run campaigns, and profit by the re-
suits. But when was conservatism
ever demanded by the people? They
have been demanding the restoration
Of silver ever since its demonstration
in 1873. Conservatives have succeeded
in being elected always on the pre-
text Of preserving the party. The
result has been that all the silver
legislation has been In the nature OF
compromises. Each succeeding COM
promise has been more damaging to
the cause Of silver and the people
than the last until it has finally been
compromised clear out of existence as
a part Of the money OF the country.
Principle has given way to policy and
the action dictated by policy inevita-
bly, includes an element of wr6rg. In
the present condition Of national
affairs conservatism is not needed.

say silver must not 0e coined until
the commercial value of 4l2H grains
Of silver is equal to the commercial
value Of 25.S grains Of standard gold.
In other words, they have succeeded
by fraud in demOnetizing silver and
thereby destroying the demand for sill
yer bullion for purpose of coinage and
throwing all the demand for coin upon
gold alone, and they now say that sill
yer shall not be coined until its market
price, withOutany demand fer coinage,
shall be as great as the market price
of gold with an unlimited and univer.
sal demand for coinage. This is the
position Of the Republican party OF
Kansas, represented by their new Sen.
ator. We call the particular atten.
tion Of the people of Kansas that Mr..
Baker is the first Senator who ever re-
presented that state who was not for
the free and Unlimited coinage OF sill
verat the ratio ofl6 to by the United
States alone. ingalls, and Plumb who
served that state so long with such
eminent ability, were foremost in the
ranks Of those who favored the restor-
alton Of the money Of the Constitution
by the free and unlimited coinage of
silver by the United States acting in
dependently and at the ratio of IL to
l. Senator PETER, the successor of Mr..
ingalls,, has been from the time he
took his seat an earnest, intelligent
and able advocate of the COMA. Of
both gold and silver at the established
ratio by the United States alone.
Senator Martin, who took the place of
Mr.. Plumb, spoke and voted for the
free and unlimited coinage Of silver
at every opportunity which offered
him. But Mr.. Baker is for free silver
after parity shall have been secured.
Plumb, ingalls,, Martin and PETER
have all favored free coinage to pro-
duce parity. Baker is in favor of
gold alone to produce disparity and
assigns the disparity thus produced as
the reason why he is opposed to the
free coinage Of silver. 1t cannot be
expected that the Republicans of
Kansas, who made up their minds to
serve in the ranks of gold monopoly
will object to Mr.. Bakers course but
we call upon all independent citizens
OF that state to mark the position of
their Senator. If he represents his
party, which he undoubtedly does in
the East II he does not in the West,
Wnat nope IS there OF relief through
that party. Does anybody suppose
Mr.. Baker would have been a goldbug

had not found that such was the party

from the far West, it is hardly to be
supposed that he would pursue course

against his constituents. We must
therefore excuse MIN as best we can by
according to him selfish and sinister
motive rather than a wicked and
