In the event. of a war with Spain. 1t is
possible that We might see revival Of
privateering.. such as existed during the
late war between the states. An agree
ment was entersd into by a number Of the
European countrisssat Paris in 1856. where
by privateering was. abolished, in so far
as the signers of the treaty were concern
ed, and it was agreed that privateers
should be considered as pirates. But the
United States declined TO be bound by the
agreement. Should this government issue
letters of marque. and reprisal, however,
Spain would probably be justified in fol-
lowing similar course. But the possible
Spanish privateers would not have great
DEALT do. American merchant ships are
not so plentiful upon the high seas as to
warrant any very great expenditures for
privateers to chase. and capture them. 1t
would not be safe for the sea rovers 10
come near enough to these shores to in
terfere with the coasters, which make up
the bulk of our merchant marine.

The wisdom ofnYouth.

Here Is charming story, which ind.-
Gates the acuteness of observation which
the young unquestionably possess, and
also the extremely clever manner in which
they often make use of it to attain oo-
jects they may have in view says the
Milwaukee Journal. A lad of some 10 years
is being prepared TO go to a sort of party
and he is strenuously Directing, as every
healthy and mentally well-ordered lad of
that age may be expected to do. He OBJ
jects when his face and hands are wash
ed; he objects when his best shoes and
stockings are put on; he objects loudly
and persisenty when his Sunday clothes
are brought out, and finally he puts up a
positive roar of protest when his hair is
brushed. But observing all this is in vain.
and that he is certainly to be ''smartened
up for the ordeal ahead of him, he, CEN
ters all his opposition on the question of
tidying his hair, and with truly infan-
tile diplomacy and keen insight into hu-
man nature he says seductively to his pa
tient mother, who is experimenting the
impeded toilet:
Say, mummy do leave out something
yer don't want EN- all to be dead onter
me, do yer?"
Now, If that is not inimitable what is :?
He not only sees himself that the others
will know he is dressed up if all the de-
tails are observed, but he also sees tina,
observation-disclosures from quite a differen,
point OF view-this argument may succeed
with his mother where allothers have fail
ed. oh, humanity! You are an amazing
thing-even at 10 years of age!

"Half-naked profe.slonnls.n

A correspondent at Baltimore writing of
the bill pending in the Maryland Legis-
lature TO regulate admissions to the bar,
refers to it as a step in a needed move
ment against "half-baked professionals"
Those who favor the bin urge that it Is
now too easy for person TO secure admis-
sion to the bar, otherwise permission TO
practice law in the courts of the state,
with the result that there are a number
of lawyers who know very little law,
and who are not competent to give cli-
ent the legal advice and assistance for
which he pays his money They not only
annoy the courts and take business away
from the well-equipped practitioners, but
get in each others way and many of
them are not over scrupulous about bus
mess methods. The "shyster lawyer" of
which class Atlanta has from time to time
had cause for complaint, is the outcome
of the "half-baking' process of making
attorneys and barrsters.
On the other hand, those who oppose
the passage of the Maryland bill find their
chief argument in the assertion that the
provisions of the proposed law would make
it very hard for poor young man TO be-
come a lawyer. 1t does not appear, how
ever, that the bill fixes specified term
OF study. or prescribe that the applicant
shall come with a diploma from a law
school, 1t says in fact, that the can
didate shall not be presumed to be quail
flied lawyer because he is in possession of
a "sheepskin' from a college saying that
he has been through a certain course. but
shall be able TO demonstrate to the salts
faction of board of examiners appointed
by the Court of Appeals that he is quali-
fed by learning and natural ability to ex-
ercise the functions of the position for
which he offers himself. Some law schools
require a three years term, others place
the limit at two years, while there are
some which will graduate student who
has had even less instruction. 1t is the
idea of the Maryland bill to put all of
these. law school students upon precisely
the same footing with the young man who
must grub out his information in a priv
ate law Office and by burning the midnigh,
oil in his own room The requirement of
more thorough preparation, to be dem.
onstrated through a close examination
would, it seems, raise the standard of the
profession. II would not tend to prevent
poor boys who have in them the making
OF good lawyers from becoming LAWYERS
for the simple reason that boys of the sort
that work up to high standing in the
profession and are not discouraged by the
requirement of hard study and thorough
preparation. They defy such obstacles.

Where the Danger Lies.
From the Pittsburg Post Dem.).

We must concede the Spaniards great
national pride and courage. In case Of
war they would be a united people, and
on their own soil not to be conquered,
but it would be quite different waglng an
offensive war at distant points. They
have not and can not acquire the indis-
pensable requisites, either in men or mon
ey for such a conflict The governing
class In Spain know this well. but the
masses Of the people do not believe it,
and are firm in the conviction that Spain
could easily defeat and humble the United
States. In this ignorance of the common
people lies the great danger OF war.

The Glorious South.
Springfield (Massl Republican Qnd.N

The South is receiving high praise from
the Northern press for the unanimity with
which it's senators and representatives
voted for the s5O.OOoOoO appropriation for
national defense. The South is the most
interesting part of this country. 1t has
more inherent poetry and romance than
all the rest of the land put together; its
history contains the most impressive
drama of modern times, and it has pro-
duced statesmen and soldiers as great as
any in the English-speaking world since
William the Conqueror.

1t seems that the New York Legislature
IS laboring under the impression that it
positively must regulate pretty nearly all
of the affairs of men by enactment, and
that 1t is incumbent upon it to finish the
work at the present session. Not only does
it propose to regulate how many people
shall go to the theater and what they
shall wear on their heads, how long a
drug clerk shall work and where he shall
sleep. who shall and who shall not give
a sick horse dose of bicarbonate of soda
when he has the collie, and various other
matters, but il is also reaching out for the
BARRIERS. A bill pending at Albany pro-
poses that no man shall scrape another's
face, or cut his hair, unless ne has been
examined and secured a license. The
mother who turned a bowl over the head
of her hopeful offspring and clipped the
protruding mop would be amenable to the
law. unless she previously procured the
permission of she state and paid 81 for 1t.

Ohio has a corrupt practices act in re-

vent politicians for using money. or rather
using too much of Ii. in elections. The
law says that not more than a certain per
centage of the. salary attached to an office
shall be used by the candidate in cam
paign expenses. The law was recently
tested, in case where the candidate ex-
ceeded the limit prescribed, and the court
held that the law was constitutional, and
that the election was illegal.

A bill pending before the Maryland Leg
islature proposes that the street RAILWAYS
OF Baltimore shall be compelled TO sell six
tickets for twenty-five cents. 1t appears
that the Baltimore street railways are re-
CURED to pay special tax, known as the
park tax" in addition to a license fee.
The whole taxation, it is alleged by the
street railway people, amounts to one cent
out of every nickel fare collected Never
theless the railways are able to pay hand
some dividends upon their investment ana
the people think they are entitled to more
concessions than the roads have a DISPOSE
