He lived to enjoy the realization of his vision. , THE ORPHANS' APPROPRIATION THE appropriation bill that the Legislature is fast whipping | into shape carries an item of $3.0i)J for tilt care )i orphan ( children and the children 01 indigent parents. The item. , though small, is probably more than wiii be required. However, that is not the thought that has called forth these lew lines, it is rather the purpose of the appropriation than its amount that cre ates comment. It indicates that tin Legislature is alive to the re- ? sponsibilitieso government, f his is a humane age. Government ; , everywhere have got away from Cain's philosophy, and men , have come to feel that they are. after all. their brothers' keepers. The indigent miners' bills and the orphans' appropriation place Alaska in step with those that aft going orward toward letter things. The item should b; and doubtless will be retained in the appropriation bill. THE POST-INTELLIGENCER. THE TARIFF AND "VILLAGE LAWYERS" THE Seattle Post-Intelligt ic r thinks there was gross incom petence in the preparation of the Underwood bill, and it as signs as a reason for ti e conclusion that nine of the four teen majority members o the committee that fashioned the measure resided in towns o;" less hin I:. 000 inhabitants befoiv they went to Congress. Of course, the Post-Intelligencer in its endeavor to adversely criticise the tariff bill, failed to say that all of these men have served long in Co. .ress where they have been in close touch with govtrnnwnta! a 'airs. Bu' lei the Seattle, paper tell its own story in its own way. It sums up the tarilf makers like this: "One comes from Sherman, Tex., a town of 12,412 inhabitants: one from Brunswick, Ga.. a town of 10. 182 inhabitants; one fr a, Jeife:v >: City, Ai?., a town of 11.851) in habitants: >ne from Sco '.and Xe-k. X. C., with less than 2.500 inhabitants; one from Carrollton. 111., less than 2.500 people: one from .Mount Vernon, Ind., 2.015: one from Carthage, Tenn., a village of some GOO: one from St. James. Minr... less thai 2.500. and one from Stroudsburg. Pa.. 1 U ). Th; se nine village law yers constitute ratlu " more than two-thirds of the com mittee which framed a measure which -will directly a feet every man employed in manufacturing and in com merce throughout the whole United States. How well qualified they are by education, by past experience and by the environment which surrounded them until their entrance into Congress can be judged by the simple facts recorded above." But why this aspersion upon "village lawyers?" If we are to infer that "village lawyers" are incompetent, perhaps the Post Intelligencer will explain how the American Xation came to grow great, for. unfortunate as it might be. the keeping of the country has usually been in the hands of residents of villages. Jeff erson. and Marhsnll, and Madison, and Dickinson, and Randolph, and Rutledge, and Livingston, the great lawyers of Washing ton's time, were "village lawyers." The Father of His Country, himself, came from the farm an i had not even a village exper ience behind him when he became a public character. Henry Clay, the authoi of protection as a principle, was a "village lawyer." So were Jackson, and Benton, and Calhoun, and Van Buren, and Hayne. and Polk, and Cuchanan, and Walker, and Cass, and Corwin. and Uessenden, and Crittenden, and Tyler, and Pierce, and nearly all the other statesmen of the ante-bellum days, "village lawyers," every or.e of them. Abraham Lincoln, the first Kepuoncan rresiaenc, was ou years of age before he had had experience outside of a village so small that some of those mentioned by the Post-Intelligencer seem like thriving metropolises in comparison. Johnson, and Grant, and Hayes, and Stevens, and Conkling. and Blaine, and Ed munds. and John Sherman, and Bristow, and the Hoars, and Ileid, and Cannon, and most of the other Republican statesmen of their day, were village products. The first Republican high-tariff bill was the "Morrill bill" named for a "village for lawyer," and it was found by the "Kelly," the "McKinley." the "Dingley" and the "Payne" bills, all high-tar iff and all named for village inhabitants. Beginning with Marshall and ending with Waite nearly all of the chief justices, and associate justices, too, for that mat ter. were "village lawyers." But why go further? The same story would apply to nearly every line of endeavor in this country. The history of the United States is the story of achievement by village residents. Even Mr. Taylor, principal owner of the Post-Intelligencer, was a res ident of Everett until a few months ago. "Village lawyers," indeed! If that is the best the priests of high-tarifT can do the Underwood bill will stand the test. That Essad fellow is refreshing. He fought like the Turk he is for six months at Scutari and leaves it with his defeated army only to proclaim himself a king; and, probably, he will fight mother .^ix months in defense oi his kingship if necessary. He I s a game old sportsman anyhow. i Jarni > P.ryce the economist, publicist and diplomat, has been altled to the admirers 01 V, illiam Jennings Bryan. f ormer Senator Bevm idge says he will be the Progressive , andidate tor President in 11)10. What of The Colonel? Are j .ve :o undeistand that ihv Hoosier statesman expects Frank j d..nse.\ to succeed in getting the Republican nomination for the | Strenuous One? It is at least an even bet that those gunners on the Talahas- ' <ce that <ired an 800-pound shell at eleven members of ihe Sen ;le and Hous" nav.il affairs committees did not accomplish any hing in the direction of securing larger appropriations for the iavy.
