are daily tried in our courts, in whlch

lawyer, with no other hope of reward

A lawyers Ambition.
Mr.. oliver admitted that it is the
ambition of most lawyers to become
judges. In most instances, at the very
outset of his professional career, he
said, the bench is the lawyers goal.
While lawyers are, as a class notori-
ously addicted to politics. and if not
now, formerly were accorded nearly all
the political honors, yet the public
makes a grievous mistake if it sup
poses that legal acumen and political
sagacity are synonymous terms. Il
venture the assertion said Mr.. Oliver,
that in nine cases out of ten, back OF
the lawyers efforts to acquire polit1-
cal honors, is the belief that such hon
ors will be stepping stone to the
dignity of judge. While he may be
honest and frank enough with himself
to admit that it is hardly probable that
he will ever be able to ornament the
ermine with that profound learning
and wisdom characterizing the labors
of. Bacon, or a Story, a. Mansfield, or
a Marshall, nevertheless he covets ju-
dicia1 honor. The lawyer knows that
from the moment a judge mounts the
bench, he has place little apart
from his fellows. He knows that
above all offices men bestow upon each
other, that of the judge is the one of
real veneration and real confidence.

most free from the dark shadow of po-
litical subserviency. 1 would, if 1

a species of doubling Thomas said
MI. Hitch. On a comparatively re-
cent occasion he expressed himself,
1.-THE daughter of modern civilization
dressed at her utmost best is a mar
vel of exquisite and beautiful art and
expense. All the lands, all the chimes,
and all the arts are laid under tribute
to furnish her forth. Her linen is
from Belfast her robe is from Paris,
her lace is from Venice, or Spain or
France, her feathers are from the re-
mote regions of Southern Africa, her
furs from the remoter home of the
iceberg and the aurora, her fan from
Japan, her diamonds from Bravil her
bracelets from California, her pearls
from Ceylon, her canoes from Rome,
her watch is from Geneva, her card
case is from China, her hair-that is,
her public hair, her Sunday hair-I
don't mean the hair she goes to bed
with-her hair is fronl-from" but
being myself a married man." said Mr..
Hitch, prudence demands that omit
the remainder of Mr.. Clemens re-
marks.
A Creation of COntraries.
woman is naturally an extremist"
said Mr.. Hitch, 'despising conserva-
tism and disdaining ever to stop short
of going all the way. The tendency of
her nature is to go by contraries.
Offend her, ana she knows not to for
give;
Oblige her, and she'll hate you While
you live"
has been said of her with perhaps as
much truth as poetry. She is gayest
when she should naturally be IN the
depths of woe. She is saddest when
she has greatest cause to rejoice. She
is least loving when those she loves are
prosperous, but sublime in her devo-
ton in the hour of disaster. She is the
most fearful and beseeching advocate
of peace always, and in war always
the most intense, unreasOning and viO-
lent partisan. With the fury of a
tigress she will incite to the fierce at
tack and an hour afterwards wiring
her hands and weep over the corpSes of
her vanquished foes.
But in spite of all her foibles and
weaknesses" said Mr.. Hitch, ''her lack
of logic, her vanity, her tyranny, her
sometimes seeming fickleness-despite
the quarrels she has caused, the friend
ships she has severed, the parting of
brothers in anger forever, the wars
she has caused to wage and the blood
she has caused to flow, this Self-same
beauteous and enchanting creature has,
for 5000 years, been the inspiration
for the highest effort and the incen-
tive TO the MODEST ach1eVement-ha
been the most uplifting and ennobling
power that the human race under the
providence of God has ever felt-has
given to the world its highest types of
fidelity, of loyalty and 1ove-has estao-
lished for the emulation of the sons of
men unapproachable standards of self
sacrifice, and of accomplishing forth
tude and courage in the hours of ad-
versity. All in all, she is the most
delicious and adorable compound of In
constituencies and delights that the In
genuity of omnipotence could have con-
jured up, and in an lands, among all
races, and in all times she has illun-
ined and glorified every page of human
history as only the unimaginable SPLEEN
doris of the Borealis lights illumine
and glorify all the Northern skies"

There was no real effort to build I'D

Oglethorpe landed there was not a

out to the colony on charity, 900 of
whom we're British subjects. These

500 foreigners, Germans, Saltzburgers,

There were well-to-do Englishmen and

Georgia was the youngest and weak

Australia, Canada and other British

brought themselves and the
business of the country into a
sort of cu1-de-sac. The modern
business principle is not that
large industrial combinations
should be broken up, but that
they should be 50 regulated as
to prevent them from doing
any act Of harm of oppression.
AS for railroads, the remedy
lies in the direction Of legaliz-
ing pc cling arrangements,
agreements, and combinations,
accompanied by marked in
crease, on the other hand, of
the direct authority of the
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, or some other public
body, to enforce fair and equit-

SMASHING VERSUS REdULAT-
ING COMBINATIONS.

Now that our business life is
coming more and more under
the cognizance of statutes and
the judiciary, and that the
courts are exercising an ever
widening authority in their
interpretations, it is highly i'm
portaut that judges who desire
to protect the public in the
economic sphere should them
selves comprehend economic
laws and principals. It this
recent decision had been con
tent to base itself simply upon
the fact that inferior courts
were practically bound by the
previous interpretations of the
Supreme Court, there could
have been no ground OF
criticism. But, unfortunately,
there breathes throughout this
decision a certain air of having
accomplished a good days
work in breaking up a railroad
combination; and between the
lines there seems to be a strong
invitation for others to go and
do likewise, and smash the
combines generally. There is
hardly a railroad system or
combination in the country
that could stand the test under
this Northern Securities de-
cision; and there are probably
of industrial enter
prises and combinations that
are open to condemnation on
the same ground, namely, that
they are powerful enough to
influence prices or affect the
course of trade in their particu-
lar directions if they should
choose to do SO. Stripped to
it's logical essence, this decision
says that it is unlawful to at
tain any position of influence
Or power in interstate COM
nerce, because that position
night at some time be harm
;u1ly exercised. AS Justice
White put it in dissenting from
he decision in the Trans
Missouri case, it meant in the
Ultimate analysis that there
must be no trade" It is plain
enough that the courts, in
on truing the law, have
