OI'INIOW* OF THE vj J SS.UJE, The message of the President is tbe topic of favorable comment in political circles at Washington Tbe older members speak of it as one of the ablest messages which lias ema nated from tbe Executive for many years. Tbe Speaker regards it as the basis of a line of administrative policy upon which tbe party can harmoniously act, and is in itself a wise exposition of tbe Republican doctrines of government. General Henderson says that those portions which more directly interest the people will bo most cordially ap proved, especially those portions which relate toliberal appropriations for rivers and harbors and for the recognition of the soldiers of the late war. Major McKinley is very enthusiastic in bin approval of the economic features of the message. The leading men in the Pennsylva nia delegation are pleased with the President's recommendation respect ing tariff legislation, the building of additional ships for tbe navy ant] the establishment of closer relations with Central and South America !• > the encouragement of lines of steam ers with the ports of thosecountries. Senator Quay 6aid that the mes sage would make a magnificent cam paign document and should be placed in the hands of every Republican voter in tlic United States. 1 lie President was highly complimented bv his more intimate Senatorial ■friends upon the statesmanship dis played in bis first annual communi cation to Congress. Congressmen Henry P. Cheatmau, of North Caro lina, the only colored member of the House of Representatives, is highly pleased with that portion bearing on the civil and political rights of the colored people. "The President," he said "shows liim-eli to be the firmest l'rieud to my people who has set in the Executive chair since it was filled by General Grant. The dissatisfied colored element, which has been pretty noisy of late, will now vanish like a mist before the rising sun. On the negro question President Harrison is pure gold and solid to the center." THE H 1.1.K l > efIXUKESJi. Forecast of »l«e frulralilc Work- I'lic I.owl Salaries. WASHINGTON, Dec, B.—The re cent defalcation in the Sergeaut-at- Arm's office, and the consequent loss or inconvenience of many Congress men, have been the engrossing ques tions of interest around the House of Representatives during the past few days, and little thought has been given to the course of business in the coining week. If the com mittee investigating the defalcation completes its work in season to make a report to the House to-morrow, it will undoubtedly give me to much discussion but the committee does not expect to be able to finish its labors until some later day. It is thought that resolutions will be introduced and pressed to prompt passage, to provide for the payment of the lost salaries, though there are intimation■; that this will meet with determined opposition. COM MITTS I: AI'POINTM EIFTS. The Committee on Rules has not yet held a meeting, and when the lions'- assembles to-morrow it will governed parliamentary practice. In former years it was the custom to permit Representatives to intro duce bills before the committees were appointed, but \his led to such confusion in the docking of raeas.il ea that in the Fiftieth Congress the practice was discontinued, and it is hardly probable that it will Lo re established. There is reason to be lieve that instead of waiting as usu~ ally to complete the entire list, Speaker Reed will announce several of tin* more important committees this week. In fact he has indicated to one or two members ofthe House T: strong probability that lie will do 60. Until these are announced, ■ .owever, : hort sessions and long rece imay bo expected. Wednesday at the Cap'tol will b devoted to tbe program of exercises commemorative of the Centennial celebration of the inauguration of George W nshington. IN THE SEN YXE. It, is not expected that any busi ness of importance will be completed in the Senate this week. Hills will be introduced and referred, and some of the committees will begin their r> gtilar work. Senator \ oor hcus will probably call up bis resolu tion this week in accordance with the notice given at the,time it was introduced, declaring in favor ol tariff reform, and make a speech in support of it. Action will probably be taken upon the nominations sent in by the President last week. These number 133; all are recent appoint ments, except that of Judge Hi ewer, to be an Associated Justice of the Supreme. Court. The holiday recess question will probably come up this week for settlement. It iS believed on the Senate siele that the recess will begin December 19 and end January Gth.— A'c. Arc 'i'liovt! Too .Tinny This question is asked by John J. Wickham 111 the current issue of the Pittsburg Legal Journal. The writer is president judge of the court of Beaver County, and speak ing from Lis own observation and knowledge be declares that there arc too many lawyers and that the result of this excessive supply is the impoverishing of the profession, taking it altogether, and the multi plication of shysters whose base instincts and impulses are intensi fied by the increasing dilPculty ot making an honest living at the bar. This prompts them to create busi ness for themselves by promoting and prolonging litigation and re sorting to every despicable form of professional knavery. David Dudley Field, addressing a wider forum, takes substantially the same view. In his address before the American Bar Association he gives the number of lawyers in tbe United States as 70,000, or one to every 900 of the population, while France liss only one lawyer to 47(52 of its population and Cerruany one to 6-133. The business of turning out lawyers has clearly been over done. The profession has great at tractions for ambitous youths. They are filled with hope and u laudable spirit of emulation by the substantial rewards and high honors gained by the few and tbe best known, succeed. Then, too the most direct gateway to public life is through the bar. It gives aspirans greater opportunities than any other to show their metal and win a political support, while its duties and demands tend ?•'. develop the gifts most requisite for success in deliberative bodies. There will al ways be. therefore, a large body of candidates for the legal profession and as long as admission is as easy as it is now the profession will be crowd- d. Sucli warnings from the bench as Judge Wickham has just given is a real kindness to those who are still weighing in their minds what cal ling to adopt. That there is plenty of room at the top is a maxim which is responsible for a great deal of misery. There is room at the top because so few are able to get there, and the newly admitted lawyer must know that his place is at the bottom, where competition is keen est and the fierce struggle for ex istence consigns all but the fittest to life cf comparative poverty Judge Wick ham proposes to make admission to the bar more difficult by adding to the requirements and the years of preparation. His strictures apply to the bar in nearly every state, certainly in every East ern state, where according to un contradicted testimony, th. number of lawyers has increased unduly, is K? ill increasing, and ought to be diminished, not simply for the sake of the lawyers, but because the pub lic would be better served by a smaller number having a higher average capacity and learning.— Mx.
