End Of the Lobbyist.
rom the Baltimore American.

From the Baltimore American.
Measured by the standards of his en-
ployment, Andrew Hamilton was success
full. His clients were the largest and
most generous in the world. His income
was enormous. With unlimited means
he was a prince of good fellows. and his
entertainments shamed the prodigality of
kings. But the glory has gone. He was
found dead in bed and now only a few
will follow the rest of the story. Those
who profited most from his bounty will
stay away; those who employed him to
do their shady work will not even notice
his departure.
His kind of success is failure. All eff
fort fails unless it has before it high
principle. clean motive or moral purpose.
The lobbyist finds his excuse in the plea
of necessity, but that does not purify the
degradation of the calling. Hamilton
bore an honored name; he belonged to an
honored profession: he had the choice be-
tween honor and dishonor. and he chose
the lower path because 1t paid better. But
did it pay?

nese themselves complain. but there is
little doubt that the country is suffering
from serious fiscal and industrial en-
barrassments. The cost of the Russian
war taxed the nations resources heavily
The large appropriations for army and
navy since the war have continued the
military burden. The purchase of the rail-
roads by the state has enormously added
to the fiscal stringency, some indeed re-
gardng it as the chief cause of the pres
ent troubles.

Situation in Wall Street.


If there are any of us so welded to the
idols of Wall street as to be looking for a.
bull movement in the prices of stocks at
this. a time when the speculative patient
continues to feel the languor Of con-
valescence, it is in order to point to the
fact that some of those without whom a
boom in security quotations is out of the
question have packed up and hied them
selves to foreign parts.
