heretofore been.

cannot hope 20 be so autocratic as ne has
heretofore been.
Our party has very largely reduced the
Republican membership In the House and
will. therefore. be more OF stumbling
block In the way of Reed and radical
legislation than they have been for son'e
time past.
When we remember the disorder Into
which our party was thrown by the cor
test OF two years ago, we cannot but lie
encouraged by our achievements In Tues
days elections. True. We have lost ground
fin some of the Western States, whesc
we had hoped for better things. but W.
have made great gains in New York
Pennsylvania. Maryland. and other
States.
When we remember. too, that we went
into this canvass with party that was
divided and disorganized in many States,
and that we had 10 contend against OPP
ponents who pleaded with the people i.ot
10 down" an administration that was IN
the act of concluding n treaty of peace
with Spain, we are thankful that we did
so well.
Though we have not been able to
wrench the House from Republican con-
troll, we have rallied our forces grandly,
and will be able TO meet the enemy upon
more equal terms when next the battle
is joined. Even i'm New York, where we
failed to accomplish as much as many
~ our friends trusted we would, and
where Mr.. Croker undoubtedly made some
grave plumbers. we polled vote and ex-
hibited a strength and vigor that must
be very encouraging to true Democrats
everywhere.
The Democratic party in the State Of
New York. and throughout the Union, is
a very Give" and vigorous organization
yet, and must always be reckoned with in
the politics of this land.

DR.. Chauncey Depew recently received
from q suppostitious Chicago girl a
polite request asking the loan OF enough
money TO buy a wedding outfit. The
young lady had never seen the suave
New Yorker, but she ala not hesitate TO
give him her conildsncs and ask the loan
Nor did Or. pepew hesitate TO refuse
the request although ne expressed re-
grets that he was Nable 10 supply the
required trousseau.

which the epistolary mendcant claims as
her residence takes the whole matter

the conduct of the inpecunious fiancee.
1T was not request" says the editor,
that young woman Of nue feeling ana
proper self-respect would have urged, even
upon her intimate friends. let alone an
entire stranger"
And, hereupon, our contemporary drifts
into all able dissertation on matrimonial
requisites, and suggests that Or. Depew's
correspondent should have told her young
man of her difficulties instead OF taking
the rather strange course to which she
resorted.
After trying TO persuade inexperienced
men that matrimony does not require
wealth, the Chicago editor adds the fol-
lowing advice, which is unquestionably
good:
Let candidates for matrimony make up
their minds to start clear OF the world or
not start at all. 4 man and woman who
contract to pass their lives together can
not afford to discount the future They
must, If they hope for happiness and sue
cess. begin rightly. and, though they may
have little material capital. they can. If
they will. start out together with what s
more important-s reserve fund of indie
pendence and self-respect.

A northern contemporary BiNes "'''i
| ance 10 certain musings on the subject OF
lawyers and their whims and comments
| on the fact that the average attorney OF
the present age avoids the criminal courts.
| whereas. I'm the good old days gone by.
| they were the schools where giants OF the
bar were trained.
| In former years the chancery and COM
| mon law courts OF civil jurisdiction were
places where lawyers went through force
| OF necessity, and the criminal courts were
| the great forensic arenas. But things have
now completely changed, and the crimi-
nal courts are avoided by many attorneys.
our contemporary seeks TO explain this
70 some extent by stating that the crimi-
nal courts are rapidly becoming the Jf-
bunals of petty personal grievances. and
that those who figure therein usually rep
resent the poorest classes of our citizens
persons generally too poor, In fact. to pay
the fees demanded BY counsel with we'll
established names. But It concludes that
the real cause of the change in the GUS
tom Of the legal profession is due to the
fact that juries are no longer moved by
eloauence, and that the days Of the adj
vocate are gone. The passing Of the be-
lief that a man who had sufficient in
telligence to read a newspaper was in
competent as a juror had much TO do
with this. Nowadays the twelve gentle
men so persuasively appealed to are sup
posed TO be individuals Of more or less
ability, and capable Of thinking for
themselves And what is more. often
they prefer to do their own thinking, and
are suspicious Of the lawyers who waste
too much eloquence upon them
The conditions in Virginia are very
much like those described By our con-
temporary, and here, as elsewhere, but
few Of the lawyers practice in the crimi-
nal courts. 1t cannot be denied that the
average young man with self-confdence
and ambition as a speaker yearns for pro-
fessional business of this character, but
their teachers generally warn them
against IT, and declare It is but an uncer-
tain road to wealth. And so the lucrative
business Of the criminal courts flows into
narrow channels, and generally falls to
the lot or rev abe men, VINO mako IL
their specially, and leave but little for
beginners.
And we are pleased to say that in this
State, too, the standards by which juries
are selected have grown much higher,
though there is still room for improve
ment. The function of the Juror is. in
the eyes OF the common law. ono Of the
highest and most honorable which citi-
zen could enjoy, though It Is very hard
to persuade the intelligent businessman
that such is the case. When they are
forced to serve they do so with the air
of martyrs, and certainly offer no en-
enlargement TO the lawyers who would
bestow upon them the oratory which
swayed the court-rooms of former days.
