Ar Fixed b Law.
The German law 6xes the exact tees
which German attorney has to claim
for all kinds OF professional work, and
the rechtsanwalt can charge neither
more nor less.
These fees apply to all matters OF
the civil code and Of criminal cases.
Tho amount. according to the Green
Bag. depends exclusively on the value
OF the object Of contention.
1t Is an old though still unfulflled
wish of German lawyers to have a
new tixed list OF fees, not made after
the old and low standard Of the year
1879. but made with consideration to
the chanScs-the numerous decided
changes-w which have taken place since
that year

He Knew What Was Coming.

Prof. Hugh w. Ransom of
Harvard, was describing, at a
dinner in Cambridge, his exper
fence as a subway workman
experience undergone in the
cause of science.
"One thing that impressed
me-" he said, "was the happy
home life of these hardworking
men. 1t is a far happier home
life than that of the idle rich.
And yet, the way people talk,
you'd think it was a wretched
and squalid home life.
"The way people talk, you'd
think Jim Jackson's was a typi-
cal poor mans home.
Jim was pale and shaky, stop

1t will not he long before Pleasant
Holt will close his literary bureau, for
the election is not far off. Pleasant
Holt and the negro are enough to damn
the cause for which they are contend
ing, which is the cause against the
amendment. If it were not for the
methods that are being employed there
would be many honest thinking voters
who would vote against the amendment
but these same men will vote for it
simply because the negro is being used
to faint the ballot box will of the white
people of Florida, and wherever it
comes to the issue between the races
in the south, white supremacy must be
asserted at all costs.
