Il Is far cry to the days Of Justinian,
when "orms. cloquence, and the study OF
the civil law promoted a citizen to the
honors Of the Roman state" but the agita-
tion which is now going on both in Eng
land and in this country indicates that
there is a revival OF the disposition to en-
courage the study Of Jurisprudence as a
necessary part Of the education of every
citizen. II IL was an accomplishment with
which no cultured or ambitious Roman
could expediently dispense, il is infinitely
more so today. when our great industries
and enterprises have become so complex
that the incident functions cannot be dis
charged TO the best advantage without at
least a general familiarity with the legal
provisions which hedge them about. "The
codeless myriad OF precedents. the wilder
ness OF single instances" no longer means
the strife and contention Of yindictiye liti-
cation or the equities which are to be ad-
justed before petty magistrates. It has
taken on a new and a broader meaning and
directly aE-cts the successful prosecution
of every line Of business.
The London Saturday Review in n re-

Governor General Davis. Of Porto Rico,
declares that nothing but the opening OF
markets for the accumulated productions
of the island, will save it from a terrible
famine. Free trade with all other parts
of the United States is an iualienable right
which accrued to Porto Rico under the
Constitution, when it passed under the
flag and sovereignty created by that Con-
stitution. That sacred right is crimlnally
withheld. and Porto Rico is treated as for
eign soil, by the Republican majority in
the House Of Representatives. solely at the
command and for the benefit OF the oil,
