THANKS DUE TO LAWSON.

1.-THE adieus of Lawson to his notable

a moments pause, for reflection on the
man and his role as critic of the time.
The series, 10 our opinion, has done
much more good than harm. The fact
that it ends 80 mucn sooner than was
recently announced shows that the pub
lie have not gone mad about it, perhaps
even are trihs tired Of it; and on the
other hand the insurance investiga tons.
in their present state of thoroughness,
are due in part to Lawson, and testify
to the usefulness of his exposures. He is
part of the pl resent awakening, however
far from ideal his own methods of con-
Quoting business may be deemed. Mr.,
Dooley says that Mr.. Lawson has used
