"Ambulance chasing." as -a line art. has forced the Ear Association of .. in vonhmUv.- to recistcr a IjOUIMV Hit, ivv.,..i.".' . most violent protest ..against the evil, and while it has not been possible to secure evidence sufficient; to disbar the offenders, the movement holds out some promise of relief in the future. Jt may be assumed that the same cus tom which prevails in Louisville is to be met with in other communities, but we arc speaking generally and without attempting to charge that the quacks are winning profit, in North Carolina. The committee declared itself un able to secure evidence of specific acts of wrongdoing, but felt "called upon to bring sharply to the attention of the Bar Association certain existing evils which are known to every lawyer in active nractlce and which are & re proach and shame to our community. The first principles of professional de cency demand that no lawyer shall solicit suits or employment; the code of ethics of tliis association and the laws ' against champerty alike forbid 'such solicitation; yet this offence has wit h us grown so common and the offenders have become, so bold in their misdirected Industry. Wat a halt must be called unless this association is willing to share the blame which must result If the spirit of indifference which has heretofore, existed is al lowed to continue. It is a ..matter of common report that hardly any acci dent resulting in bodily injury or death occurs but. that one or more lawyers or their 'runners' are upon the scene oi at the home ..r the bedside of the victim, seeking a contract of employ ment to institute suit. Certain law yers, we have reason to believe, have utuchcri to their offices agents or run nels whose sole occupation is that of keeping track of accidents as they occur and soliciting damage suits for I heir principals. These practices at e apparent to the most casual observer; there is no attempt at secrecy in many instances, and these offenders are so indifferent to public opinion that .-their .solicitors or runners are often s.-M in court sitting at the counsels '.,1.1c: aiding Iheir: principals in the .selection of jurors and in the actual trial of eases, and prompting them in ilie examination of witnesses," In commenting on. '-this report Law Notes "'remarks I hat' the committee re- '. reived ii.i lielpi what. Ver in its efforts to secu'ie -.evidence of tangible' acts' of solicitation, nor. i-ven a single instance of such conduct, being reported to it (or investigation. The same authority adds that every'- owner of a light of action 'should be left to take the in itiative in determining this matter for himself. The Tariff Overcoat. The New York World had a very ex piessive cartoon on William Jennings tfrvan the other day. The Nebraska statesman was represented rising out of his grave, with the stone lid of a table tomb held on end in his hand, and on the lid was an inscription to the effect thathe.tad died politically in 1S96 and 5feofk'iIr. Bryan himself was seen with head" and shoulders just out of the dark yaftminff cavity in the ground. His face' wore a very hag gard and troubled expression and his body appeared to wear almost noth ing, only a few tattered rags. Nearby was a valise lying open and marked "Political wardrobe." In the valise was a list of articles as follows: "One pair rate regulation trousers. "One income tax bat. "One inheritance tax coat. "One pair anti-trust shoes. "Appropriated by T. Roosevelt." The cartoon' was entitled "Nothing to Wear." It was a very striking piece of work. Of course there was nothing particu larly new or original - about it. It simply meant to say that while Brya was in tha grave Theedore Rooseve had come along and stolen all h clothes, and now that the free silver candidate is being summoned fqrth again he has nothing in'wtiich 'ap pear before the people. ; r JP'" That was all very well so far as it went, but there was one serious omlsr sion. There was a garment that Bryan always had in his wardrobe that Roosevelt did not take. Bryan has it yet, and If he were to use It he would be completely clothed from head to foot and the fashion of his garment would be followed by a majority of the voters of the country. That garment is the tariff revision overcoat. Bryan can jump right out of the grave if he is really called out by the democratic party, slip on that long overcoat and be ready for any function, and above all be "clothed and in his right mind." The garments that Bryan has lost have not proved of unmixed comfort to the one who has appropriated them, and perhaps had their, original possessor been permitted to wear Iheni he too might have suffered some measure of the discomfort that has at tended their present proud wearer, on the other hand that tariff overcoat Is a perfectly reliable surlout, 'warranted to keep off all kinds of bad' times and to hold its color. And not only war ranted but tried and found good. Bryan always had that overcoat along, but never used to wear lr very much : because the others were new and he was anxious lo put them on. Now that he has lost them and would have to don the old overcoat in case of his emerging from his resting phae, tie wouid find himself far more comfortable and his followers could keep him in sight much more easily. His free silver pocket book was not in evidence at all in that cartoon. Of course Roosevelt never stole that. He had a gold one, and besides he was afraid the silver money was tainted. The cartoon man must have thought Bryan had lost that previously. But however that, may be, he wouldn't need it now anyhow, for there is lots of car fare and other money tod in the pockets of the good old overcoat. If Bryan should not be called Lack some other man could wear that over coat with just as much success." It didn't belong to Bryan originally; a man named Cleveland was the man who wore it and tested it and it 'le gended to Bryan as a sort of legacy. Hitter Postal Cars. Representative Small of North Carolina has intioduced a bill in con gress demanding the construction of better and' safer mail cars, and there is every reason why it should pass. There is no party light in that. The high death-rate among the .employes of the postal service is argument enough. They have no chance of escape in the event of accident, ihov are penned in, crippled, killed luid roasted alive, all because of the cheap and fragile cars provided for them by the' railroads' and' the government, on all trains the mail cars are -immediately behind the locomotive, and in al most every report of a disaster .; 'the clerks head the list of victims. hilo Mr. "Small is giving 'tin' .-matter of safety , his attention he should seciv better compensation for the army, of faithful workers. The question has been before congress for a long time, but the claims of the. employe 'have been, ignored and they continue to serve the public on lit tie wages and when they are in -constant danger ol il.si i urt ion. . The Pullman car- and the properly constructed day coach ofter greater protection. .They will not telescope, but there is absolutely no hope for the man in the postal ear. The conduct of the government here tofore and its failure to make changes and improvements is nothing short of iriminal. Congress is giving away thousands and ; thousands of dollars every year for the free seed graft, but it d'les not provide safety for the pro duct while in transit or protection for the men who must handle it along with tons of other mail. As we have pointed cut the Pullman ticket is really ' an accident policy, for the person, holding it practically . secure against injury. The aggregate number of Pullman passengers is hundreds . of tmes greater than that of postal clerks, yet more clerks are killed than passengers. Mr. Small is on the right line and his bill should meet with the unanimous approval of congress. Mr. Burbank. the California hoi-li-culturalist, who would apply his prin ciples of plant culture to child cul ture, says 110 child should . be sent to school until it is ten years old. Or to work, either, until the child is con siderably older than-that. If Hobson keeps on , denying these kissing stories his constituents will begin to accuse him of obtaining office under false pretenses. '.. Hereafter when boys tie an, empty meat can to a ;dog's tail it will be more of an Insult than ever to the dog. . If they should succeed in ousting Jerome in New York two men anyhow would be glad, Col. Mann and Presi dent RuvsevelL GIFT COSTLY TO RECIPIENT. Lyman Jennings $7,200 Ahead on His Annuity from the Town. Athol, Mass., has awakened to -the fact that through accepting a gift thirty years ago it is much out of pocket, and that It is likely to pay out a still larger amount of money if Lyman Jennings continues hale and rearty. . Thirty years ago, when Mr. Jen nings was fi'ty-eigh!, ho had accumu lated $10,r00 in cash. About that time hard times In business came and work was difficult to obtain; so he thought how he could ; invest his money so as to make sure that he and his wife would ho comfortable the rest of their dajs. The town of Athol was then in debt, and he offered to give the sum of $9,000 tn Ihe town on condition that it should pay him an annuity of $510 during his life, and if his wife should survive him Hint it pay her an annuity of $ 1 SO after his de cease, during her life, and -that it should pay to each of his three chil dren who should survive him an an nuity of $120 after his decease, dur ing their lives. The town eagerly accepted the gift, and in 1S76 the $9,000.' was turned over to it. A few friends chided Mr. Jennings for what they termed his foolishness and others told him he had let his heart run away with his head and needed a guardian. The town meeting passed a resolution, setting forth that "Mr. Jennings will be held In Athol's last ing remembrance." Mr. Jennings smiled and said he wasn't born a Yankee for nothing. Every year for thirty years Mr. Jennings has quietly stepped up and received $in, and at the next pay ment the town of Athol will have paid him $10,200,- or $7,200 more than he gave the town. If has been unnecessary for him to work during till these years, for he has had a comfortable income secured to him for life, and neither has he been obliged to worry over the welfare of his wile and family, knowing that the town is bound to give them a certain amount of support. Consequently he is a very healthy, happy old man, and is looking for ward to living to the age of 100. If he reaches this ripe old age the town of Athol will have paid him $22, (ISO. Mr. Jennings considers his invest ment away beyond gilt edge bonds or railroad stock. Tie town would like to get out of its bargain, but there is no way out of it. New York Sun. Why the Kami's Are Restless.. The Zulu is the finest specimen of the Kaffir extant, with the Mata bele, his ethnological cousin, next, followed by the Hasuto, Beehuana and Swa.ie in the order named, al though the last is also an offshoot of the Zulu race. The average Kaf fir is tolerably honest, but not ob trusively so, for he has associated too long with the white man not to have assimilated som" of his ideas of morality, but sufficiently' -'to he trustworthy to some degree. In his native state ho is. temperate in ..all things. Morally the Kaffir, is far ahead of his American negro brother. The Kaffir, even after "(id years of association with -'the- whites, has yet a strongly developed sense, .of sexual decency. . Immorality, especially among the Cuius, is punished severe; ly, yet he is a polygamis, away from the centers of civilization where his while masters'.-- pract'e" monogamy conveniently relieved by elastic di vorce laws. On the other -hand', it has been .said',-'and. truthfully, that the native is not '.industrious and laws have been enacted to compel him to work. And iti this endeavor to instill the love of work into a constitutionally lazy being lies the secret of the present unrest of the Kaffirs. Harper's Weekly. Greatest Long-Distnnrc Runners. The Tarnhuinarcs. a great tribe of the northern Sierra Madre, are the greatest runners on earth, not in regard to speed but in endurance. They have been known to average 170 miles per da'y:there is an absolute record thai is indisputable of a Tarohumare sent with an important government docu ment that necessitated an Immediate answer covering the distance there and back, a six hundred mile jaunt, in five days, or an average of 120 miles cov ered in each twenty-four hours, not counting the time lost while the an swer was being prepared, and It must be remembered that this feat was not performed upon a fair road or on' an undulating plain. It was over the wild est country that the Sierra Madre af fords; up and down paths that the very deer would hardly esteem a trail: the only level ground encountered was the crossing of a deep river. Also, the journey was done on "pinole," a spe cies of popcorn ground down and mix ed with water, and the runner carried his camp equipment, a native woven white wool blanket. Modern Mexico. Problem of the Anarchist.'... English-speaking people are reluct ant to Interfere with political liberty, but it becomes a serious quest Ion how far they are bound to exercise such restraint in dealing with those whose avowed object is to destroy all civiliz ed society by force, and who regard good governments as worse than bad governments by the very fact of their being good. If the revolutionary an archists of Europe and America choose to make themselves an International menace they may be sure that society will find means of protecting itself. New York World.
