please "the people'--and incidentally be returned to their seats.-ra ther than with doing that which Is right? Is 1t not true that they do not at all represent the best citizenship in their respective communities? They repre- sent the average perhaps-though one Is sometimes tempted to doubt even that,-and the average Is neither the best nor the worst. Therefore 1t Is unreasonable to expect them to make wise laws, that is, laws which com mend themselves to the sober judg- ment of the community or State as worthy of enforcement, because needed. Only such laws are wise. for laws are not intended to create conditions but to meet conditions.
 The Presence of Lawyers in the Leg '. .. tslature.
 The presence of such a large ele- ment of lawyers-as usually found in Legislatures-fss a matter for genuine regret. This is so. not because they are lawyers, per se, but because considerable number of any one class of men in a Legislature is almost sure to work harm. It destroys the pro- portion of interests represented. It IS peculiarly true, moreover, of lawyers, because, first, they are strictly pro- fessional men, and professional men are apt to have narrower views about matters in general---and of course leg islation also-than is the case with professional men. It is so for the reason they do not usually touch hu- man life at as many different points. Hence they cannot possibly know as well the needs of the community. the State, in the matter of lawmaking. In a word, professional men-whether lawyers, physiciahs, or clergymen- have continually to fight against ,what may be called "the professional view
 of affairs, and that should have no place in Legislation. Second, because Iawyers-and this Is said in all gentle ness, for 1t is the truth unless the nublie press misleads us--talk so much in the Legislature, other members, whose powers of physical endurance are not equal to theirs, become wear led and utterly worn out, so. in order to get a sorely needed rest, are coerceo into voting for measures which tney we'll know to be perntcious!
 The Number of Unnecessary Laws.
 Then. too, what a great evil the number of unnecessary laws. Tney gtand--paradoxical as 1t may seem--in tbe way of their own enforcement. This is illustrated in two respects first. in the case of the officers them selves who are to administer the iaW they cannot possibly become IamlhA[. as they should, with so many lAWs' second. those who ought to obey the Iaws---and are usually quite willing to do ao-are actually unable to know what laws they ough ito obey! Fur finer. when numbers of unnecessary iaws are made it inevitably weakens the force, authority and practical ap- plication of those that are necessary. This is bound to cause grayest diff ,hculty in administering law, together

 Boston Transcript.
 Russia has the melancholy celebrity of being the first European country in which cholera has made its appear ance in all the visitations of this scourage. The first great epidemic that of 1880. passed into Russia ap- parently from Siberia, thence spread westward into Germany and France. Ieaped the channel barriers and afflict- cd Great Britain. whence it was car ried by immigrant ships to Quebec
 So rapid was it's advance on this con t,nent that though the first death from cholera of which we have any re- cord in North America occurred in Que hec on June 8, 1892, 1t was followed by enother at New York exactly a fort night later. The disease spread over the greater part of the United States. snd was said to have ben carried into the atraREling hamlets of the then far west' by the troops destined for the Black Hawk war. That visitation of the cholera was the most terrible the western world has known. It is estt- mated that on the continent of Euro

 For time the medical profession. confronted by q malady which few of it's members had ever seen. was over whelmed Men died in obscure vil- iages in rural regions, as we'll as in crowded cities, though where popula- ton was most congested the rate of mortality proved the highest.
 Since then the course of every ohoi- era epidemic has been practically the Same, first making itself known in Russia and then travelling rapidly across Europe. When the world recov- cred from its first horror It set to work to study the cholera. and now it is known that pure drinking water is the first requisite for the defense. The cholera germ must be taken into the system. for the disease is not con- tagious.
 An abundant supply of good water, rigidly protected from pollution, ig a much more common possession of large communities now than 1t was 75 years ago. and public sanitation has made giant strides. It is in back ward countries. those which lag In the rear of sanitary development that cholera gains volume. Hence it is that Russia Is the point of departure of the disease for Europe. In Russia there are vast regions which modern santa ton has not touched, where the disease rapidly becomes epidemic even before its presence ts known or needed in the great cities.
