LAWYER AND CLIENT.
At the last meeting of the Junto Club
the lawyer was late and the other
members remarking the fact, the con
versation naturally drifted around to a
discussion of lawyers In general. The
discussion was rather one-sided, how
ever, and the members of the legal
fraternity were being pictured in no
enviable light when the lawyer appear
ed upon the scene and settled down In
a big chair to listen till he could pick
up the thread of discussion.
"We were Just hauling you lawyers
over the coals." volunteered the doc
tor by way of drawing the attorney in
to the conversation.
"Yes? Well, I hope you enjoy It as
much as we lawyers enjoy hauling you
over the coals when we get a chance,"
Teacher "We were discussing the
honesty of lawyers or rather the dis
honesty of lawyers."
Laborer "We have agreed that law
yers are the most dishonest and unre
liable class of men that we have ever
had any experience with."
Lawyer "How many of you have
ever been defrauded or Injured In any
way by an unscrupulous lawyer?"
All were silent at first, but after a
moment the merchnnt said: "I have
dealt with lawyers a great deal and
have never been mistreated by them,
but I have known many men who were
defrauded by lawyers."
Lawyer "Do you know from your
own knowledge of the facts, that the
lawyers were dishonest, or are you tak
ing some other man's word for it?"
Merchant "I can't say that I know
from personal knowledge but I have no
doubt of the truth of the statements
I have heard."
Lawyer "Yes, that is what I have
often noticed It is always some other
man who knows of the fact, while the
one who makes flie assertion kn.nvs
only by hearsay. And I have noticed
also that the less a man has to do with
a lawyer the more he knows about the
dishonesty of the profession. The man
who Is continually dealing with law
yers never las any fault to find with
their Integrity, Now let me tell you n
few things that perhaps yrtu never
thought of. There Is no class of men
entrusted with property and transac
tions of such untold value as the law
yer; and yet I have the statement of
the attorney general of this state as
authority for the assertion that there
are fewer defaulters among Inwyers
tliun among any other class of people.
It l astonishing to one who does n"t
know the facts In the matter to find out
whut people will trust to a lawyer.
Money, property, securities, all sorts of
papers, business transactions and fam
ily seerets are given Into the hands of a
lawyer without the least guaranty of
faithfulness. Men never ask for a
receipt when they leave Important pa
per with a lawyer even If the trust Is
one that Is to extend over the space of
several years. In no other class of
people, bankers, merchants, doctors,
or ministers, would a shrewd business
man confide as he does In a lawyer,
and no other class of men has as many
opportunities to profit by a breach of
trust as does the lawyer. Of courre
there are a few dishonest men in our
profession as In all others, but we are
not afraid to have a comparison of
numbers made with any profession
that may wish to question our claim In
regard to honesty."
"Then how do you account for the al
most universal opinion that lawyers
are untrustworthy?"
"In two ways; by the Ignorance of
the facts, and by the mistaken concep
tion most people have of a lawyer's
duty to his client."
"The extent of his duty is measured
by the fee he receives, Is It not, as a
rule, at least?"
"That Is what most people think;
but I had reference to a lawyer's moral
and legal obligations what an attor
ney may and should do for his client,
and what the cause of Justice forbids
him to do."
"We will be glad to listen without
Interrupting you Jf you will tell us
what you think a lawyer la under obli
gations to do and not to do In his rela
tions to his client"
"The extent and limitations of a law
yer's duty to his 'client Is a subject
upon which opinions differ widely. It
Is a question w hich each attorney must
examine for himself, for by his own
conclusions and not by the conclusions
of others will be determined the prin
ciples which govern his conduct in pro
fessional ofTalra. '
"In regard to a lawyer's duty in giv
ing ad v lea, no on wilt question that
strict honesty requires a lawyer to
counsel a client In accordance with
Justice and equity. The temptation to
eneouruge needless litigation Is one
that few lawyers, especially those
young in the profession, can resist. It
holds out the Inducement of at least
temporary employment, and with the
employment the much-desired fees. But
the attorney who, for mere personal
gains, gives advice which tends to liti
gation not made necessary by the de
mands of Justice, is unfaithful to bis
trust, and wrongs not only his client,
but also the state and society at large,
The lawyer should be a peacemaker,
striving to settle disputes without re
sort to the expensive process of trials If
that can be accomplished without
wrong to either party to the controver
ay. "When the lawyer has examined the
facta upon which the client bases his
cause of action or defense, if he finds
that his client has no rights to be pro
tected It Is unquestionably the law
yer's duty to refuse to have anything
to do with the case. But If, aa la usu
ally true, the client has some right,
however small it may be, then it is the
attorney's duty to take charge of the
case, and endeavor by all Just means
In his power, to secure the legal rights
of his client, even if in so doing, some
seeming injustice Is done.
"It frequently happens that a lawyer
can further the Interests of his client
by methods right according to law but
morally unjust. What then Is his duty?
If he takes advuntage of the opportu
nity offered, he works a seeming injus
tice in this particular case; while If
he waives the right given his client
under the law, he perhaps makes It
possible for some innocent man to be
wronged on some future occasion.
"Courts of Justice have the same
object as all other departments of or
ganized society, the greatest good of
the greatest number. Legal proceed
ings are governed by certain fixed
rules, and wrongs, both public and
private, are defined with great pre
cision. It is held to be better that ten
guilty men escape than that one inno
cent man suffer. For these reasons it
becomes the lawyer's duty to take ad
vantage of every possible legal means
of securing his client's discharge or a
verdict in his favor. It Is a duty he
owes not only to his client but also
to the cause of Justice, for when an in
nocent man can be punished or depriv
ed of his rights, tyranny and oppres
sion will reign, and courts of Justice
will be transformed Into courts of in
justice. In a legal controversy truth
can be best discovered by having the
opposing sides conducted by the best
legal talent, for by that means the con
nected circumstances will be examined
as thoroughly and critically aa possi
ble, and all proceedings will be requir
ed to be strictly In accordance with
law.
"To the legal fraternity Is due the
credit for the advancement that has
been made In the administration of Jus
tice. Though an uprising of the masses
In revolution may overturn the throne
of a tyrant, only the learning and abil
ity of a lawyer can successfully guard
the lives, liberties, and possessions of
the people when once 'reed from des
potic rule." JUNTO.
HOT IX CHICAGO
Administration Democrats and Silver
Men Are Not Frater
nizing. AULA I STEVENSON IS NAMED
Mis fflcsd-t Thlsk Me Weald .Hake a Good
Use Altijeld Says tie Could Sot
Carry a Single Silver '
State.
Chicago, July 4. Considerable per
sonal feeling has been aroused by the
appearance of Gov. Boles, and the man
agers of the other leading candidates
are openly declaring that It Is contrary
to precedent for a candidate for the
presidency to personally attend the
convention.
Some of the administration Demo
crats are advocating the nomination of
Adlal Stevenson for president. They
have as yet received no encourage
ment from the free silver advocates,
and are to all apearances making no
harmony. Gov. Altgeld says Steven
son could not carry a single silver
atate.
It la settled as far as anything can
he that (he national committee will not
name Hill for temporary chairman. It
la aUo certain that the silver men will
not accept 11111, and will probably vote
in a temporary chairman of their own.
Senator John P. Jones, of Nevada,
Is among the recent arrivals. He is
ranked as a Populist but he has been
circulating among the sliver Demo
crats. He tells them that if they will
only nominate a sliver man upon whom
all the silver men can unite, he will be
with them for the nominee.
"What we want," he said, "is uni
fication of the silver forces. The Dem
ocratic party has an opportunity now
to put Itself In a condition to control
affairs In this country fcr the next
forty years; but If it falls to avail itself
of the opportunity offered it is doom
ed."
Senator Jones had a -long conference
with Gov. Altgeld during the after
noon.
There are about half a doxen dele
gates In the New York delegation .who
are giving Messrs. Hill. Whitney and
Flower no little trouble on account of
their predilections In favor of silver.
They are headed by C. L. Lock w ood,
of the Thirty-second congressional dis
trict, who openly defies the leaders,
saying he will vote for a silver candi
date and a sliver platform If he gets
the opportunity. The sliver men from
New York and Pennsylvania are pre
paring to act together.
Senator Cockrell. of Missori, called on
ex-Governor Boles today to pay,hla re
spects to the Iowa candidate. Senator
Cockrell says he went as Mr. Bland's
representative and assured Boles that
It was a friendly competition that they
were engaged in and that they were
anxious for sliver first, and then to se
cure the most popular man for presi
dent Editor Holden, of the Cleveland
PlaJndealer, who Is a delegate at large
from Ohio, says that he will offer a
resolution endorsing Teller for secre
tary of the treasury If no other dele
gate makes any such proposition.
The anti-silver men have been at
work all day. All delegations now in
the city have been visited by men from
the East, and earnest arguments been
made by those who hope to stem the
sliver tide. Their success has not been
marked. No converts have been made
and the silver men have met them flat
footed with the declaration that they
intend to carry the convention, make
the platform and nominate the candi
dates. One of the New York leaders
thinks some progress has been made,
and instances, among other things, that
they have been assured that the silver
men will not attempt to abrogate the
two-thirds rule, and that the unit rule
will be observed.
There is still much discussion among
the delegates aa to the time that will
be consumed by the convention. There
Is a general desire to have the ,tlme ab
breviated as much as possible, but
there is no longer much talk, aa there
was a few days ago, of being able to
reduce the time to one day. On the
contrary the belief is quite general that
the convention will be In session at
least three or four days.
The silver people were much encour
aged upon the arrival of some of the
delegates from Minnesota today to re
ceive the assurance that the sentiment
favorable to sliver la constantly in
creasing In the delegation. It was at
first supposed to be solid for gold. To
day's arrivals report there are seven
who are sure to vote with the silver
people and that there are two others
who are on the verge of allying them
selves with that Interest. The silver
men have also assurances that no less
than six of the Massachusetts, an
equal number from Florida, and four
of the Maryland delegates, will stand
with them. The changes Increase their
former calculations to the extent of
fourteen or fifteen vote, and If their i
previous figures were correct, am urea
the necessary two-thirds vote beyond
a peradventure. The gold men do not.
however, admit the claims.
THE t'NITY OF THE INTERESTS
OF MEN AND WOMEN.
(By Rachel Foster Avery.)
Much Is said of the movement toward
equality of political rights for women
with their brothers, as being an at
tempt to set men and women against
each other. This la a view held only
by those outside of the movement and
who fall to comprehend Its true mean
ing. To those who stand prominently Iden
tified with this great cause, it is as sa
cred as the freedom for which our fore
fathers and foremothers sacrificed so
much in fact, to many of ua It seems
even broader In Ita Inclusiveness be
cause it affects one entire half of the
human raca the world over.
Whoever has read the history of the
stage, no matter what may be bis or
her attitude toward It as an educator
of the present day, can not fall to ad
mit that it has now a higher standing
both morally and artistically than in
the times when men alone occupied the
boards. Then no one was surprised at
a delay once in the production of Ro
meo and Juliet, when the explanation
was made from behind the footlights
to His Majesty who was present, that
"the play would proceed aa soon as
Juliet was shaved." Think of Shake
speare's dainty heroine personified by
a man!
In so many ways both amusing and
provoking, men have felt themselves
called upon to "represent" women, that
it is difficult for them to realize any pos
sible advantage to be derived from lis
tening to the woman'a aide of the ques
tions presented by herself, but Just as
certainly aa do the mothers of the land
take better care of their children than
could any number of men trying to
"represent" them In this relation. Just
so surely will women do better by mak
ing their opinions felt directly upon the
policy of the country than by being
"represented" by men. It Is the anti
suftiraglsts who wish to separate the
interests of men and women.' not the
woman suffragists; the former draw
an Imaginary line between the lives of
men and women and wish the two
sexes carefully separated lest their In
fluence upon each other should be for
evil and not for good; the equal suf
fragists have faith to believe that the
Creator made men and women to be
together in all walks of life, made them
to have a reciprocally good Influence
upon each other. They feel that what
God hath Joined together no man-made
laws should put asunder in the govern
ment any more than In the church. In
society or in-the home.
THE REGATTA.
Even the Ladies Are Working for It
With a Will.
The special committee yesterday gave
over to the new committee charge of
affairs in connection with the regatta.
President Kendall was out of the city
during the day, but had previously an
nounced his intention of appointing
practically the came committee who
formerly had the matter in band. Col.
E. C. Hughes, Harry Hamblett, and
others who have been working on the
matter during the last few days, re
port that the regatta has been secured
beyond a doubt New life was put Into
everyone yesterday upon learning of
the letting of the railroad contract and
the determination to push other large
enterprises In the Immediate-future.
Even the ladles have taken hold with
a will and are corresponding with
friends at a distance, and urging their
attendance at the carnival In August
It is safe to say that no other public
enterprise could possibly do the same
amount of good to the city as the re
gatta. The entertainment offered Is
one which appeals to the sensibilities
of all who love outdoor sports. Is par
ticularly fitting for a city situated like
Astoria, and will accomplish for this
port what thousands of dollars of ad
vertising could not. The regatta, to
gether with the firemen's tournament
which will be held at the same time,
will this year form an attraction never
before held In this city. It Is probable
that about the same time the railroad
will be formally opened to the heart
of town, and that among other visitors
will be a portion of the O. N. G., who
will make noise enough with their big
guns to be heard at least all over the
state.

New York, July 4. At the Tammany
celebration of Independence Day the
following letter of regret from Presi
dent Cleveland was read:
"I regret I am unable to accept the
courteous Invitation I have received
to attend the celebration by the Tam
many society, of the hundred and twen
tieth anniversary of American Inde
pendence. "The situation that confronts the
country and the Democratic party at
this time Invests with unusual Impretv

firm financial ground which we thus
far have been able to hold, should sot
be abandoned in pursuit of a poller

EXAMINERS WIN AGAIN.
Defeated the Lewis and Clarke Team
Yesterday Afternoon.
In the language of the street urchin,
the Examiners aren't doing a thing to
the other baseball nines In the coun
ty. They have yet to meet with defeat
Are their heads swelled? No; Just
swollen. YeBterday the team went to
Lewis and Clarke. The farmers want
ed to play the game. They're still play
ing. Bufflngton pitched for the Examiners,
while Twilight did the grand behind the
stick. Both men played Bplendldly, aa
did every man In the team. The game
was quite Interesting for the Lewis
and Clarkes and the score was 16 to 8.
Bo another scalp Is dangling at the
Examiners' belt. The boys can play
ball, with the accent on the "can." The
team will no doubt play a championship
game some time this week and will
have an opportunity to exhibit its abil
ities before the state. May they win!
