EDIToRs AND LAWYERS.

Some of the brethren of the press are having a warm discussion over point which may be thus expressed:
 Which is the more to be excused-the lawyer who advocates case in which his the editor who writes political articles contrary to his own convictions?
 Naturally there are two sides to such a controversy, and as naturally the writers on the legal papers and maga- zines take a different view from that taken by the lay press. Either side has plenty of grounds upon which to sustain its position. Looking at the lawyer from one point of view we might argue that he should never take a case unless he is convinced that his client is thoroughly right, but that would confine the legal profession to very narrow limits. Not only do the most thoroughly honest and conscien- tious lawyers take cases where they know their client is in the wrong, but the judge often appoints attorneys to defend or prosecute cases which both his judgment and conscience disap- prove. It is his duty to see that the case is conducted according to law and that all the requirements connected with courts of justice are complied with. If an attorney is defending a man it is his duty to see that his client has a fair trial, without regard to the question of guilt or innocence, and when he has secured for that client all the rights which the law and the practice of the courts entitle him to he has discharged his duty and is neither morally nor legally responsi- ble for the results. And if he feels any way doubtful about 1t he can fall back on old pr. Samuel Johnson: You are not to be confident in your own opinion that a cause is bad, but to say all you can for your client, and then to hear the judges opinion. You do not know your cause to be good or bad till the judge deteFmines it."
 But those who contend that news paper writer should never write any thing contrary to his convictions fail to differentiate between the responsible editor of a paper and the editorial &Writers. If man is editor. proprietor and everything else on a newspaper he may be blamed for writing and pub fishing anything contrary to his con- science or his convictions. but that is not the case with the large journals of the country. One of them may have two, or dozen editorial writers. but if the paper has a settled and well defined policy all who write editorial matter for it are expected to conform to that policy.
 Why should newspaper workers be confined within narrower linits than other workers are? The employees and

A NOTED INCIDENT.

One incident of the Presidents itin- erary will possess but little significance to the present generation of Americans, but to the elders 1t will recall stir ring era in the political history of our country. That incident was his visit to the venerable Mrs. Fremont, at Los Angeles, Cal, a woman whose very ex- istence has passed from the memory of the great mass of the people.
 Fifty years and more ago the name of John c. Fremont was on the tongues of the people from Maine to the Rio Grande. By his tedious and perilous overland journey between the United States and the Pacific he earned for himself the soubriquet of "The Pathfinder" and during the war with Mexico and the troubles preceding that war he was one of the most prominent figures, and was one of the first to rep resent the new State of California in the Senate of the United States.
 His brief service in the Senate gave him a taste for politics, and in 1856 he obtained the nomination for President from the young, but already vigorous Republican Party. It was in this carn- paign that Mrs. Fremont came promt- nently before the public and became a national figure. A daughter of Thomas H. Benton of Missouri, whose devo- ton to hard money gave him the name of "Old Bullion" and who served thirty years in the National Senate, Jessie Benton Fremont inherited much of the talent and fighting qualities of her il- lustrious father. She possessed a charming and winning personality of her own, and entered with heart and soul into the canvass for her husbands s election. The campaign cry of Ere mont and Jessie" was rallying slogan for the Republicans, or Abolitionists, as they were then called, and we ex- pect the candidate was largely indebt- ed to his wife for the fact that he boiled about B per cent of the popular vote of the Union in that contest.
 Fremont was defeated and was never afterwards a prominent factor in national affairs. During the Civil War he added little to his reputation, as he was not always in sympathy with the policy of the government or with the other army officers. In truth General Fremont was not a man of much real talent or capacity, and such promi- hence as he attained was largely due to his early reputation, and to the talent, energy and family of his wife
 Fremont died in 1890, and now, at the expiration of half a century from the era of his highest reputation, his widow in her retired home is visited by the man who became President through the votes of the party of which her husband was the first national candidate, and who was a prominent figure in the Union wher the present head of his party was a school boy. It was meeting of two eras and two generations.

A Lieutenant Governor.
Birmingham News.

Birmingham News.
 writer in The Montgomery Adver- tiser declares that Alabama should have a Lieutenant Governor. He Is quite right, and the Constitutional Goa yention should make provision for such an officer. Nearly all the older States have Lieutenant-Gov whose duty Is to preside over the State Sen- ate just as the Vlce-President of the United States presides over the Federal Senate. In some states the Lieutenant Governor becomes aging Governor when the regular executive absents himself from the State for any period of time, and in all of the States which have such an official he sue ceeds to the office of Governor upon the death or disability of that officer.
 The necessity of Lieutenant-Gover- nor in Alabama became peculiarly ap- parent when Governor Sanford was taken seriously i'll shortly before the day on which he was due to be inau- gurated. The circumstances of that emergency are too fresh in the memory of every one to call for repetition here
 Let the office of Lieutenant-Gover~ nor be created. It would be an honor able one, and would afford proper pro- vision for carrying out the will of the peor,e as expressed at the polls with out question or bubble n the event thpt the duly elected GoycrIor sltCfd die or become disqualified either be- fore or after he took office.

journeymen empioyed>on | buiJding or q ship or bridge are expectec to do their work in strict accordance with the designs of the architects and super- intendents.s As an individual the mechanic may be thoroughly convinced that some of the work he is doing Is wrong, but if he is following the plans of those who are responsible for the job his conscience is clear. In the same way the clerks in a store may be satisfied that. the prices for certain goods are too high, and that they should not be sold at such prices, but the proprietors have fixed that matter and are alone responsible.
 It may be contended that a man who Is required to write an editorial not in accordance with his settled principles and convictions should refuse and quit the paper. That sounds very well but if 1t was carried through all the depart ments of life and business there would be more men out of jobs than could
 
 standing or influence unless it has a we'll defined policy to which 1t strictly adheres, and which 1t wll not suffer violated. A man who voluntarily takes an editorial position on such a paper does so with the full understand ing that he Is to be loyal to the paper and will carry out its policy. If he Is too conscientiously and firmly i'm bued with other convictions to do that he has no business on the paper. As The Chicago Record-Herald expresses 1t:
 The political writer. advocating things in which he does not believe, in no way sacrifices his principles, and has right to express his individual opinions wher. ever he goes. And it Is we'll understood among his acquaintances that what he writes are not his own views. but the views of A responsible management.
