NJ. HAGEN and Admiral George Dewey

morning at the reetoFy of st. Panl'I

The ceremony was performed by Rev

ney O. Hurlburt.
The ceremony was strictly private
and OF the simplest character. The
bride was accompanied by Mrs. Wash
ington Mclean, her mother, and Mrs
Ludlow, her sister, while Admiral
Dewey was accompanied by Lieut.

guests and after the ceremony the

idence of Mrs. Washington Mclean

case appear to be the better and is
only engaged in the abuse of his
office, when he knowingly represents
an unjust cause, and one which isc con-
trary to justice and good conscience.
Sometimes lawyers are criticised
for representing the cause of a dis
honest client, and one which, when
fully investigated, is shown to be un-
just. The lawyer, when it win take
close investigation of facts to deter
mine, has not the best opportunity for
ascertaining the truth. The facts are
presented to him by the client. He
hears but one side OF the case, and
often never knows the facts. and es-
pecially all the truth, till both sides
are presented in court. The lawyer
never becomes guilty of wrong until
he knows he is engaged in an IN
righteous cause. There are men of
our profession, however, who, for
the sake of temporary success and as
enabling them to pose as table law
yers," will resort to most anything
short of criminality to come of tri-
umphant In a case. This class is not
above the arts and tricks of profess
ional gambler, and for morals will
not be favorably compared to the
jockey, who, 1t may be said, at least,
Is not under oath for honest conduct,
and to that extent is better citizen
than this kind of LAWYER.
There is still another class OF higher
character and OF more ability who, In
the discharge of their duty, put the
interest OF the client and the obliga-
tions to the client above every other
consideration, at the time laying aside
his duty to himself and to society.
We have an example of this in the
argument of Lord Brougham before
the House OF Lords in the defense of
Queen Caroline. An extract from his
argument on that occasion will Illus
trate this view of the lawyers duty.
1t Is as follows: "An advocate, by
the sacred duty he owes his client,
knows, in discharge of that office, but
one person in the world-his client,
and none other. To save his client,
Mexico weekly ledger., 1899-11-16

by all expedient means; to protect
that client In all hazards and costs to
all others, and amongst others, to
himself, lie the highest and most un-
questioned OF his duties; and he must
not regard the alarm, the suffering,
the torment, the destruction which
he may bring upon any other. Nay,
separating even the duties OF a patriot
from those of an advocate, and cast
ing them, IL need be, to the winds, he
must go on, reckless of the conse-
quences, If his fate 1t should unhap-
PLY be to involve his country In con-
fusion for his clients protection"
I know of no better or abler ex-
preston in opposition to this view
than that of DR.. .Lieber, who said: "If
there be person who does not see at
once how untenable this remark is let
him imagine, the then Mr.. Brougham
to have said, Sit is the duty of an ad-
vocate to save his client ct all hazards,
even should he bring shame upon his
own mother And why is this more
frightful than what Mr.. Brougham
actually asserted? In short, he for
got, as we are all so apt to do, the
object, and remembered the means
only.
"Justice 10 the object of trials, and,
for the better obtaining It is thought
that council on both sides should state
all that can be said; but the object is
not to save every person. II go, we
act very strangely in trying the per-
son at all. But although different
duties may devolve upon different
individuals, and continually do SO,
still the final object and ultimate duty
remains the same. The lawyer does
not cease to be citizen, nor cease to
be q man, and ell the fundamental OBJ
legations are the same for him as for
all others. / doubt whether a bolder
assertion has been made in the most
fanatical periods respecting the obli-
cations of propagating true religion,
and extirpating heretics. The simple
question fWhy?' puts the whole as
sertion TO naught.
GAS to separating the duty of a pa
triot from that of an advocate, it
amounts to words and words only.
Moral obligations are eternal and i'm
mutable, though the acts which the
same obligations require may differ
in different situations. II it is a duty
to be patriotic at all, we can nowhere
be absolved from 1t, although patriot
ism may demand different acts, in
time of war, from an oHly son, who
supports aged persons and minor sis
ters, and from q son of hale and
healthy father, or q man who stands
single in life." Chief Justice Gibson of
the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
had occasion at one time to speak of
the duty Of the lawyer to his client,
and said: SIT is q popular, but gross
mistake, to suppose that a lawyer
owes no fidelity to any one except his
client, and that the latter lie keeper of
his professional conscience.
He violates his official oath when he
eonscientiously presses for an unjust
Judgment; much more go when he
presses for the conviction Of an inno-
cent man. The high and hon.
orzble Office of counsel would be de-
graded TO that of the msFeenary we're

JESTER FIGHTING HARD.
Judge Eby Rules Out Articles in Met
ropolitan Newspapers.

PARIS, Mo-, Nov. 9.-The fight over
the application for change of venue
in the Jester case has been in progress
three days and promises to last un-
til late Friday night or Saturday. The
defense finished examining its wit
Iiesses Tonight. Out Of fifty citizens,
drawn from every neighborhood in
Monroe county, less than half dozen
have testified that in their opinion
the prejudice against Jester is such
that he could not get a fair trial in
the county.
Ex-Gov. johnson, who is assisting
Prosecuting Attorney Rodes in con-
ducting the states case, expresses the
opinion that the testimony OF the
Witnesses summoned in behalf of
Jester has been sufficient to convince
the court that the prisoner could get q
fair and impartial jury in any part OF
Monroe county.
The state will prove by fifty rep
resentative farmers, merchants and
bankers that there is no feeling
against Jester. The defense to-day
put the local correspondents of the
st. Louis papers on the stand, and
introduced as evidence calculated to
create prejudice the reports thcy FUR
nished of the proceedings of the
preliminary trial. All the newspaper
men In Monroe county were also on
the stand to-day, and every article
they had published in regard to Jes-
ter was added to the record. Judge
Eby ruled tonight that articles pub
lished in the metropolitan press should
be ruled out OF the trial.
Local attorneys pronounce this the
most remarkable and most bitterly
contested change OF venue case ever
known In North Missouri. The tax
payers have begun to show disposi-
tion to complain of the heavy costs
the application ia entailIng on the
public treasury.

From London Truth.
The aristocracy lie led by the pocket;
the Democracy by the passions.
This is the middle-class century;
the future is for the millions.
There are those who regard rellg-

and respectability as an aid to ras-
cality. Give them sufficient respec-
liability and they will commit any

The medieval system was based
upon the principle that "might is

that fright is might"
In these enlightened days the COM
munity is not governed by soldiers,
but policemen; it lie not force which
governs now, but justice.
The press is the popular conscience.
The still small voice of the leading

the other day that he would not be
candidate for reelection to the office
of Representative and that he had
received numerous requests to allow
the use OF his name for State Senator.
Neither MIR, Fry nor Mr.. Hit have
given their consent to make the race
for the senatorship. Mr.. Fry is re-
ported TO have said that he would ao-
cept the nomination If he could get
II without contest. 1t would be q
sacrifice OF business on Mr.. Fry's
part, but Notwithstanding this he
would accept If rendered him on the
foregoing conditions. Mr. Clark ls
always ready to serve his party and
people. Mr., Hit, Mr. CLARK, Mr..
Cullen and Mr.. Fry, mentioned in
connection with the Senatorship, are
all incurruptibls. Wenotice the news

about NJ. r. K. Biggs, Of the east end.

started with a membership OF 107. It's
membership is diffused throughout
the State, and at different times about
1000 lawyers have been members of
the organization.
While the association has not pros
pered as some State Bar Associations
of other States, II is fact that more
Judges Of our courts, Circuit and APP
pellate, and more officers, national

and Williams. OF Supreme Court
