The meas- has reached the point where the whole question is involved in th right of judicial review and in this provision if any where will be concealed joker that is to make the measure acceptable to the railroads. For the benefit of the uninitiated, it may lie said the now is for an agreement to an amended bill that will provide for a more or loss broad court review. The object of the friends of the measure will be to frame this review provision s- that i will not interfere with the obvious lent of the law and make the delays, possible under the bill more than offset any benefits that the measure might confer. Naval officers as a whole are pleased over the sanction of the Naval appropriation bill by the committee, not only because it gives a little short, of for the execution of the plans that the department has on hand but because it also provides for at least one battle- ship that will rival the English in size and effect- There is a provision in the bill for one battleship of not over that will be all that the Navy department could desire. While the work of defensive naval construction is going on, there is appropriation made also for a new dry dock that will equal the Dewey in size and will be retained in American waters. The prop headquarters of this dock will be Solomon's Is- land in the Chesapeake, but though-this spot affords unusual facilities in the way of deep water and a good channel, the dock, once it is be avail- able for use anywhere on the At- coast where there is water deed enough to submerge it and whore the exigencies of the call for its presence. It is estimated that an agree- on the statehood bill is in sight. This is more or less cheering news, not that it makes any vital difference whether or not the territories that have been waiting years fur admittance to the Union are admitted just at this time or not, that agree- foreshadowed has the show of reason and decency about it and consequently reflects the same qualities on the Conferees The President has to Congress the enact- of the laws recommended by the Waterways Commission with a view of saving Niagara Palls.

Demand of your that your industries shall be treated as others, equal as to benefits and equal as to burdens. To do this you have got to be more careful who represents you in the Senate branch of your Legislature. One term to vice in the House has taught rue that there is not any use of send- men representing the man- the agricultural and commercial interests to frame good laws, to be killed in the Senate by lawyers nominated and elected by railroad and influence.

Some years ago the town was nearly ruined and hundreds of lives lost by a flood from a breaking mill dam, and recently it has almost been swept aw by fire- by his client. Thia represents the true lawyer. Now for the other kind, and I believe they are greatly in the majority. The lawyer that will the truth, foment discord, tamper with witnesses and bribe jurors, knowingly mislead the judge; knowingly use false testimony and make himself a party to the crime. Principle with this class are things to use, to trade on and desert. Truth, honor and are so many stage habits which he may or may not as- as occasion requires. There is a much larger part of the latter class now than there was or years ago. It is the latter class that a prominent Southern railroad official is with saying that must control the Senate.

It is in line with an editorial that appeared in The Reflector a few days ago, and the letter also drew forth a strong editorial in the News and Obs. warning the people against the danger of electing lawyers to our legislative bodies. The people cannot be pealed to too strongly along this line, as there was never a time in the history of our State and Nation when this danger was greater. The trusts, the railroads, the great in- companies and large generally are using every to control our legislative bodies, and they can readily accomplish this through their lawyers and being elected to seats in these bodies. will.
