THOl'OBTFDL BVCIOISTtONS
There are two essentials for a lawyer in
the preparation of a rate first prepara
tion, second a case, 1 1 Is preparation eou
lists In a knowledge of men nnd sffsirs,
for there is nothing bs must not knew;
an i ducated comuion sunse, for lawil tho
per f ec tioh ot reason ; control of bimself,
for trying rases is an art) an bonesi heart!
tor the guldeu rnle is the foundation of
justice, and a memory well stored with ail
the principles of the luw,
A case ie sometimes bard to get, Blaok
done was sixteen year. wit hunt a cine,
Brougham waited ten years without a cli
ent. Don't make a oase, or take onetbal
bas no merit in It, Ths number of menu
factored easeswe see in cunt from time
to time Is not creditable to tbe manufac
turers. Clients won't pay if told they
have no niK,., hence tbe temptatiou to take
oases without merit it requires courage
tossy to clients," Igree, for Justice ti low,
verdlots and uncei tain and law ie oostly,''
yet the coursgeons lawyer prospers In
fume and finance, clients will some day
leuiu to pay lawyers to keep Utemout of
law.
Having the preparation ami a ess? how
shall a lawyer procoed. It Is marvelous
bow a ciunt will try to deceive bl lawyer
us to the fsots hi the eae, lie must be
compelled to tell the whole truth, A ro
talosr la like oil, it prevents friction mid
tbe machinery works easily. It tnsnrci
cor.t'nlence on the parr of the eh -at. tor he
iniinediatelv culls you ".My lawyer.'' Voll
are his lawyer, hut he must not be permit
ted to dictate how the case shall ba tried.
Sharply define the lsue nnd nuke bin un
derstand it. Let bim know i be difficulties
of the case. It is never Kafo to tell him ue
will rarely win.
In the preparation of the law the funda
mental principles applicable to tbe csie
should be ascertained. These principles
may no Illustrated oy reported ca-es, t he
tendency of both the bench and t lie h tr i.
to neglect principles and reiy ou reported
CflSee. This renderi the law uucert In and
muny times defeats iostice, Let tbe needle
deflect from jus'ice but a fraction of a lie
gree in the tirst case and alter a d ixeu or
more cases following tbe same conrss nd
you Bad yourself sailing away from jus
tice, that Inw and justice are no Unur
the same.
UtQAti woriosa
Ex-Judge H, If. Sevly was called
upon to respond to the toast, "Legal
Fiction?." He sal 1 in part:
There nro legal notions and fictions of
law. .Sow- what is a Qctlonl in order
that we may have tho case clearly before
us I have brought Into court this evening
itch aruml lucid ilellnitl.-n of tlio term.
A legal flotioo is a true lie. It ie a lie be
cause It is a lie, and it is true because the
law enys it is on the principle that we may
do evil that good may result.
After relating n number of Instances
of what he termed legal Sotlon tie sail
there was a moral to all this and it was
that things are uot alW.lVS what they
seem to br.
Attorney Cornelius Comegys followed
the cx-Wayne jurist with remarks
about ''Fellowship of tbe liar." He
declared that no other occupation has
snch n long array of distinguished men
us the law. Iti closing he said:
Lot w drink to Anld Lang Syne and to
the law the law which is aspirit of peace
descending from high places hovers over
all, (aiding the strong, protecting tbe
weak, repressing tne wrong) the law
through and by which tbe productive en
ergy, the inventive genius and mecbauical
skill of our people has created u national
life already, though young with n past o'
wonderful attainment and a future richer I
ami rarer in promise than is the dream of
ambitious otjkvariclons youth.

ten 'I he toast to which he was asked
to respond was "Classification of
Lawyers," During bis ducjurse he
said :
Mr. President, toastmeater and follow,
lovers of retainers:
1 understand perfectly why my frietul
Arcbbald's jealousy was aroused at the
programme presented here tonight. The
committee have shewn me a Very great
compliment -Riving to me the only scien
tific subject that there is on tho pro
gramme. Y"ll Will notice they have us
signed to Judge Archbald the still bunt, to
Iriond Amermnn nil the bard oases, to
my friend Beely all the lying, to my friend
Comegys the bar, to friend Beamish the
lllgbts of the imagination, to McGlnlsy
the bad memory, and to our absent friend
the IWing around the circle, and they nave
given t" me tne only icientific subject . To
tie frank with yon I will any that I ap
pointed the committee. Something has
bet n said about the law and very pro:' irly,
t e nil Know what the law is- a ruls of
human action. Tbe old principsl stands as
pure justice matured w ith the wisdom of
the age. a statute is no more law than
any other written document nntii it is
muted with the principle nnd experience
nnd becomes part of the wisdom of the
people, and in Hint senso it ii true. The
voice of the people Is the voice of God. it
is no more true that the Mchtinley bill is
law than that the NTileon bill will become
law. A statute Is no law, The gentleman
With Whom I lead taw said, if yen matter
the common law yen area lawyer nnd that
Ie all that is required, it embraces nil
principles and all cases are lonadod on
principle.
The llrst classification that would uatur-
aiiv come to mind would be tbs learned
lawyers nnd the unluai neil. W hen I have
'completed the fist there will be no one tc
put Into Iho latter. Wueu I lake the tem
p.i.'inenls of the bar lh lu-! will b'
harder. We have the profound lawyer,
Hie nlirawd lawy-r, the wise lawyer, the
dew lawyer nnd the objective lawver, nnd
we have the man that cannot be
taken unawares, and ho on. The
Lackawanna bar compares with any bsr
that I Know of In tuo state. We will all
have to taken little criticism to reach tbe
lugiiost standard that I spoije or nt ths
start, and that is to labor that we OS "in"
lawyers with n isnss of the dignity and
manhood that we owe to tint law, to BO'
oisty, to the community, to the state and
the nation, Wtere all ready to step on
he last round where t here in room for all,
To dothlewemuet labor while we have
hearts to hope, inimU to tuuili
and lung' to breathe, This h
the task before you nnd promise
me that you will labor in that direction a.
laiibfnlly as you have entered Into tbe ju
bilattou tonigiit.aiidl can make aclns Ifica
