Herald: Some day thoro will be a
popular movement to curb the rapacity
OF the lawyers. know an instance
where three lawyers employed by n
recoivership. were retained by ono OF
the receivers 10 defend him against
charge Of misconduct In the manage
ment Of a railroad. They charged tlO.-
600 apiece aa their fees and took tho
money out Of the treasury OF the baak-
rupt corporation they were regularly
serving a. attorneys. I know another
case OF o lawyer being employed to at
tend to n little business connected with
the transfer OF the ownership OF a gas
company. His services would have
literally compensated with $500. lie
had lot Of securities In his hands and
he put In a bill for i0.G6G. and got tho
money before he would give up tho
securities. Another case came 10 my
notice lately OF the same sort or legal
robbery. A jobblng house sent out n
collection to a lawyer In Montana for
$4,000. The lawyer brought suit. coll
lected the money and kept II all. send
Ing In bill for s. 900 for HIS services.
On smaller scale. but In the same line.
Ia case in this city. A ARA gave n
lawyer a bill OF SI75 TO collect. lie col
lected Il, but failed for long time to
report on II. After number OF letters
had been sent him asking him TO call
and settle he sent In n bill for $500 for
collecting the si75. Many eminent
lawyers. avowcdly scale their fees TO
the amount OF work involved. Apply
this theory OF compensation TO tho
medical profession and a doctor who
aayca q mans life would be warranted
In taking large share Of tho property.
II takes no moro brains and no moro
experience to be- a good lawyer than to
be n good journalist. yet the good
lawyer ordinarily charges n thousand
dollars for an amount or time and spe-
cial knowledge and skill for which tho
good journalist would be gald to get a
hundred.

Absolutely no provision Is made by
the constitution for a regency or for q
Vice presidency, and Il is difficult to
conceive what constitutional course the
French Government could possibly
take we're Germany to steal a march
upon France during the absence OF the
president, say In Russia. In such an
event no one save himself could respond
TO an ultimatum, no one but himself
would have the power TO legally con-
yone the national legislature. and II
It met Of It's own accord Il could not
take any legal action whatsoever. not

he might experience difficulty In re-

pie alliance would hardly permit him

an endeayor would be made to inter-
cept Gny French cruiser or man-Of-war

II would be seen that there are certain
drawbacks even 10 the office OF tho
