If cold wave of reform like that shoulG

We describe these people specifically, so
that in case of future legislation they may
not be confounded with another class who
are not lobbyists, but only officers or
agents of trusts, who spend the winters
here for the benefits of the society and
climate. These gentlemen. who are not
lobbyists, are generally members of the
bar: not as often of the supreme court bar
as of that at Chamberlins. They practice
there principally and before commit
tees" to some extent. After committees
they go back to Chamberln's.
If they exert any influence over legisla-
ton, it is a salutary one. 1t leads to the
announcement of many worthy enter

merchant and the dealer in costly cigars.
May they never be classed with mere
vulgar lobbyists Washington Times.
