The result of the first written eXamina-
ton for law students before the Su-
preme court has been rather disastrous
to those who tried it. This was hardly
more than was expected since written
are nearly always more difficult than
oral examinations. The change will
necessitate more thorough preparation
on the part of those who stand for adj
mission 10 the bar i'm the future. The
young men who stood this time were
naturally at disadvantage, as the law
schools have had no opportunity to adjust
themselves to the new standard.

Death of Benjamin Butterworth.

In the death of Benjamin Bntterwonh, oi
Ohio. Commissioner of Patents, the country
has lost one of lis most courageous ana apie
Statesman He was twice Commissioner OF
Patents and five times elected to the lower
house of Congress. In politics he was he-
publican. In the Fiftieth Congress, we be-
Geye il was, he made speech IN defence OF
the retention of steam printing presses IN
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. winch
No other member of the same house had the
courage to make, yet every member applauded
hin. when he finished and wished he had he,
himself made the speech. The knights OF
Labor wanted the presses removed and the
slow and out-of date hand presses re-nstated.
Mr., Butterworth. during that speech, stated
that members had tremblingly voted against
their honest convictions, on account OF The
single representative Of the Knights of Labor
in the gallery. and pleaded guilty of having
done so himself, but he boldly announced,
although the Knights OF Labor were watching
closely the vote on the bill, that he hoped his
tongue would cleave To the roof OF his mouth
if he ever uttered yea or nay vote in Con-
gress against his conviction at the die tatlon
of any person or order.
Besides being courageous, Mr.. Butterworth
was genial man, of liberal views, and two
of his warmest friends were 5. 5. Cox, of New
York, and VIM. p. c. Breckenridge, of Ken
lucky. When the latter was IN trouble he
came to his defence. When Mr. Cox spoke
he sat near by and enioved his ability and
humor, even when the latter was at his eN-
nense. Speaker Reed never stayed III the
House when Mr.. Cox was on the program for
"a speech. Sarcastic himselfhc could Not en-
dure il when directed against him. Butter

That Newspaper Boycott.

Denver, Jan. 1s.-The boycott of the
newspapers of Denver, begun ten days ago by
fourteen department stores, was ended tonight
by the unconditional surrender OF the stores.
The stores made the demand that the papers
reduce their advertising rate 80 per cent or
they would cease to advertise.
The fight has stirred up the community
greatly. the result being that the stores were
almost forsaken by purchasers and the pro-
prietors had to surrender or go out of bust
ness Labor unions have held meeting after
meeting to contrive plans to spread the agl-
tation and keep the people away from the de-
partment stores.
At a late hour tonight the newspaper of
fees were visited By a representative from
each store in the combination. They ac-
knowledged that they were beaten and would
resume their advertising contracts as soon as
ARRANGEMENTS could be made.

From the y. \. sun, Republican
The Hon. Charles Joseph Bonaparte of
Baltimore, a Mugwump of unusual terocity,
lectured in Boston Sunday night for the bene
fit of hospital for incurables. His subject
was Civil and Religious Liberty" but he
managed to weave into his lecture IL distinct
approval of lynching. He said that Iynchings
.!have their drawbacks. but their advantages
are underestimate. Especially by the vic.
Tins, he might have added. ''Lynching is
liable to abuse he continued, ''for mistakes
are sometimes made, but | believe few inno-
cent men are lynched and those that are so
are not desirable members of society, and the
custom is certainly great deterrent of crime.
Mr.. Bonaparte is a member of the bar, and
yet he has no objections to the lynching of
persons who strike him as undesirable mem
bers of society. Would he revise his opinion
If he should ever happen to fall into the hands
of persons who, unfamiliar with his distinction
in Mugwumpia, should by chance regard him
AS an undesirable person?
In considering the elimination of the unde-
sirable by means of lynching, Mr.. Bonaparte
stepped boldly from the abstract to the con

Globe, whose account we follow. pitied Mr..
Bonaparte, and remembered that the day was

science would allow him to be to Mr.. Bona
parte, but he shows us that Wild Man from
Baltimore mentioning United States Sena-
tors identified with the interests of the trusts
as worthy of lynching.'
Mr.. Bonaparte regards trusts as undesra-
BILE, and so he wants persons connected with
them to be hanged by the neck without war,

the lynchng of all spoilsmen and opponents
of currency reform" In fact. in the court
of Bonaparte Lynch, j., anybody unfortunate
enough to be esteemed undesirable by that
remarkable magistrate could depend upon
dancing in the air at the end of a rope. As

his fellow countrymen as undesirable, lynch.
