THE DEATH Of FORD STITH The death of Fobo StiTh of Tincin nati, O., remove** from the axens of Ohio politics one of the most remarka? ble Afro-American character eves known in its history. He was a man of indomitable will and untiring perse? verance. As a shrewd, calculating worker he was a marvel, and his organising ca? pacities were of the moat positive and successful kind. Treachery was a thing unknown to him, and his friendship was a boon which many craved. Hia word was his bond and a promise made would pass as- current among those who knew him as "gilt edge psper" in the business articles of the world. As a husband and father, he wa* kind and indulgent. No wonder then that multitudes hastened to do bin honor, and political foes paid to hia remains the proper respect. To the query of "Who will take hi? place," comes a multitude of confused words from which no intelligible an? swer can be framed. He has gone tt join tha silent majority. We admired and loved him in life. We honor and praiae him in d?-ath. hoping tbat at the expiration of the few years of life now left to us we ma-, grasp his glad hand and receive his welcome plaudits upon the shores be? yond.

On the other hand had the colore man been accused?whether guilty c not?of committing criminal aaaau upon a white girl, he would never hav been allowed to await the action of grand jury.

An Editor's Predicament. tl [Cleveland, Ohio, Gazette] W. L Jones, Editor of the Galveatc (Texas) Times, "roasted" the atret car conductors of that town for the mistreatment of Afro-American lad passengers, with the result that t was arrested on a charge of libel ai. sentenced to twelve months in prisoi which really means long month*' lab on Texas' chain gangs. If ever thei was an outrage that cried to big heaven, Jones' caae is that one. It i luatrates to what extremes prejudie will carry the white "chivalry" i some sections of the south. It migl not do any good to appeal to the go* ernor, but such an effort ehould t made just the same.

Then there is the "refressher" if tbe leader and tbe " rcfreabera" of be subordinate lawyers. In EnglsMsd ihe leader's refreshment, which is due after tivr hour*, the brief fee being sup? posed to cover only the getting up of the case, is 10 guiueas, or a little over $50, while $25 must be paid to the leaser lswy> ? According to English etiquette, no counsel can leave his circuit to plead in another without a special retainer, which, in meat cases, cannot be Ieee than 800 guineas. Thia is probably to discourage "poaching." A would be client once wrote to a famous American lawyer, stating a case for his opinion and iuclosing a $20 note. Tho lawyer did not reply, where? upon tho client wrote a second letter anti rt-ceived word from the lawyer that he had read the cast* anti formed au opin? ion, but s?>iiii how it stuck in bis throat. The client took thc bint and sent a $100 note, receiving the lawyer's opinion by the next mail Nobody does anything for nothing, especially a lawyer. Lord Mansfield waa so sensible of this that on one ooca aiou, when he had attended to some legal business for himself, he took some guin? eas out of his purse and put them in his waistcoat pocket to give him tbe necessary stimulus. Sir Anthony Ma? lone, an Irish attorney general, waa bo imprudent aa to forget this fact and was grievously punished for it, for he was so inattentive to some property of his that ho lost $15,000 a year by it, and in thc future he required his clerk to make abstract deeds of any property he might buy aud lay them before him, with a fee of 5 guineas, properly indors? ed, which the clerk was to scrupulously account for, after which Sir Anthony made no more mistakes in regard to his own property. ?Chicago Newe.
