WAIVING THE WEED.
the Candidates and Parties had to
Pay Out Yesterday.
N. Y. World. *
In the gray dawn of election day about
three hundred express wagons rattled over
the pavements of New York, carrying lit
tle Punch and-Jady boxes to the election
precincts. As the Ucket-peddlers are not
allowed close to the polling places, these
stalls had to be furnished by the candi
dates for office, that their workers might
be on the spot. To accommodate the sev
eral parties and factions required about
five booths in each election district, which
made a total of 3 50) for the city, and at
$5apiece, the cost was $17,800. Around
these were gathered the party workers
who numbered twenty-five for each box,
making a total of 17,800 men. They got
$5 apiece, which called for $89,000 for the*r
services alone. Wien they found an un
decided man they did not lead him nnder
a tr ie and talk him to death, but took him
directly to the nearest saloon and gave
him all he wanted to drink, The good
man was grateful and did as he was di-
vtsttdj bat the heeler tow on candi
dates for the money expended. Fifty dol
lars was not a very big roll yesterday, and
supposing that each of the 17.800 workers
had that much, the total food was $890,.
000. Each worker had a handful of
ballots, and it was estimated that the coet
expended about $1,000 for personal tick
ets to be distributed at the polls. The
combined candidates had to meet the fol
lowing personal expenses:
Boxes for ticket peddlers .*. $17,801
Services of workers -... 89,001
Fund for the heelers 800,001
Cost of printing tickets 230,oot
This wss the cost of the go-as-you-please
ace of Republicans, Democrats. Bntler-
troller, alderman, .
trict-attorney, civil justice or Assembly
man. Each candidate was in the hands
of his friends, who spent his money for
him, and his only trouble was drawing
checks when the several committees made
their demands. The expense varied great
ly for the several candidates, being great
est for mayor. Congressman, comptroller
and jndge. It is said that Grace and
Grant were called upon for about $100,000
each and OthhJ for $15,000. The Judges
of the Court of Common Pleas were as
sessed $50 for each election district, and
there are seventy-seven in some Congres
sional districts, making an item of $3,850.
which some had to pay to one faction of
their party. If the County Democracy
bad the most power in a particular dis
trict they assessed the candidate for Con
gress very heavily, Tammany being con
tented with less and Irving Hall with still
less. The same was true of the Republi
can factions, and this money was placed
by committees of these several org mira
tions in the hands of trusted workers who
used it to the best advantage. Tbo print
ing bills were paid by the candidates in
person, or by their right hand men, who
hsd charge of the canvass for them. The
boxes were paid for by the party or faction
interested, bat with money collected from
the candidates. Assembly aspirants paid
about $400 into the general expense fund,
and aldermen paid the same, except the
would be presidents of the aldermanlc
board, who were assessed $1,000. The pri
vate expenses incurred by these minor
candidates in dinners and other favors
were also great, so that few escaped with
leas than 92000 expenditure. The mayo
ralty aspirants were pat to the acldf

LAWYERS' MORALS.
Legal Gentlemen Should nor L?e nor 8ell
their Brnlna to Defend injjatice.
NoTembcr Century.
1. A lawyer ought to a gentleman.
His function as an attorney gives him no
dispensation to disregard the ordinary
rales of good manners/and the ordinary
principles of decency and honor. • He has
no right to slander bis neighbor, even If
his neighbor b£ the defendant in a cause
in which he appears for plaintiff. He has
no right to pally or brow-beat a witness
in a cross-exsminatlon, or artfully to en
trap thgf witness into giving false t<
mony. Whatever the privilege of the
court may be, the lawyer who is gallty of
such practices in court Is no gentleman
out of coart.
2. A lawyer onght not to lie. He may
defend a criminal whom ne knows to be
guilty, bat he may not say to the jury
that ue believes this criminal to be inno
cent. lie may not in any way intention
ally convey to the jury the impression
that he believes the man to be innocent.
He may not, in his plea, pervert or distort
Uia evidence ao as to weaken the force or
conceal the meaning of lL He is a sworn
officer of the court, and his oath shonld
bind him to the strictest veracity. It
would be qnixotlc to expect him to assist
his adversary, bat his obligation to speak
the truth outranks every obligation that
be owes to his client. It is notorious that
some lawyers who think it scandalous to
tell a falsehood oat of court in any busi
ness transaction lie shamelessly in court
in behalf of their clients, ana seem to
think it a part of their professional daty.
That bar of jnstice before which by their
professional obligations they are bound to
the most stringent truthfulness is the very
place where they seem to consider them-
i(4res absolved from the common, law of
veracity. So long »s the legal mind is in
fected with this deadly heresy we need
uot wonder that our courts of jnstice of
ten become the instruments of unright-
eooanesa.
3. A lawyer ought not to sell his ser
vice for the promotion of injustice and
knavery. Swindlers of all types are aid
ed by lawyers in their depredations upon
society. The mock broker who operates
in Wall street, and strips green country
speculators of their hard-earned gains by
the most nefarious roguery, always has
an able lawyer a* an accomplice. The
S ntieman by whose agency a nest of
eso rascals was broken up says: “The
great difficulty in stopping swindles of
this class is that the rascals make enough
money to be able to employ the best of
legal advice, and are. moreover, carefnl to
do nothing which will render them liable
to arrest.” This is the testimony of a
lawyer, Mr. Ralph Oakley, of New York.

down very solemnly, and watch me with
an expression that said, plainer than
words:

But I'd go on and take the gun out and
rub it up a little, and he’d shake his head
and look doubtful and say:
“I wouldn’t go out if I were yon; what’s

And when I’d sit down and oil the locks,

from the engine. There’s the conductor
on top of the train passing signals with his
hinds to the engineer. The engineer
don’t want to kill anybody, but he can’t
see the whole length of the train, and it’s
hard to tell by the motion of a man’s hand
jast how much more to back. The brake-
man gets in between the cars, hoJdiug a
pin in one hand and waiting to lift the link
with tbo other. Along comes the train
like the hammers of hades; the draw-bar
gives way, retreats clear to the head, or
the brakeman loses his footing in the
shock. They carry him home, tell his
folks that Johnny got killed on the road,
and get another brakeman.
Then in the winter there’s ice and snow-
on top of the cars. Everything lssl : pnery,
and it's awful easy to miss a step and go
down between the cars. Overhead bridges
break a good many heads, too. It.s dan
gerous work, and wo get prid $1.85 for ten
nonra’ work. It co9ts a brakeman $39 a
year for $1,009 life Insurance, and about
six times wbat it would cost yon. In some
parts of the country the brakemen have
associations, and when one gets killed the
association pays his widow or his mother
or his sister $2,000. There is no associa
tion like tha* here. I wish there wa\ or
that the companies had to pay for ns. The
only coupler that will ever catch them will
bs one that saves money. That may sound
roug bat it’s God's trath.
Get np a coupler that doesn’t cost much
more than a link and a pin and doesn't
lose pins, and yon’li have ’em. L«t me tell
you why. The average loss of pln9 Is five
a year to each freight car. Boys steal ’em
for jnnk. and they get Inst in a hundred
ways. Pins cost GO cents each; That’s $3
a car per year. There are nearly 1,000,000
freight cars in this country. That’s $3,-
000,000 worih of pins lost every year.
Looks big, don’t it? Well, knock off a
third for pins that are recovered and yon
•till have a sum worth saving. Show the
railroads a* self-coupler that doesn’t cost
more than $5 at the most, and saves pin:,
and the brakeman will get a better show
for his life than seven chances in eight.
An Eccentrto Lord.
London Letter in San Francisco Chronicle.
As might be expected the aristocracy
yields a fine harvest of cranks. Just at
present Lord Savernaks is exciting a good
deal of attention by reason of his extrava -
gances and his eccentricities. This youth
tia-< only yi't nun* of Hg». an l is the
grandson and heir of the wealthy Marquis
of Aylesbjry. Lord SavernaKe drives
about the west end of London in a coster
monger’s barrow drawn by a fa3t trotting
donkey. The barrow is highly ornament
ed with brasswork, and the donkey carries
a very handsome set of harness, liis lord-
get-up, as I saw him driving down
Church street and Marylebone the other
day was .-imply a ariniug. Hi* wore a
long, light coat buttoned tight!}' down the
front, and adorned fl am moderate in my
computation) by at least a hundred pearl
buttons. His trousers, which were ue
tight as they could bosslblv be made down
to the ankles, terminated in miniature
balloons, well nigh hiding the patent leath
er boots, which were also studded all over
with pearl buttons. These wonderful
trousers boro triple dark stripes on a fawn-
colored ground, and on the bottoms the
‘ pearlies" again figured prominently. A
few evenings ago I had occasion to visit
the Marylebone theater, one of the minor
low-priced houses, and there I again en
countered hts lordship. He was drinking
at the refreshment bar, and this time was
accompanied by on individual who, in all
-av* f«*;tture*». w .11 an actu.»! ! >*i»»lt* of tli»*
nobleman. On inquiry I found thisyoung ■ —
man was his groom. "There is no beastly neAiir
pride about Lord Bavernake,” said my in
formant. “What is good enough for him
to wear he thinks is none too good for bis
servant.” This young lord Is a strange
mixture <>f i-Mify and .-hrewdiie-s. as he
has a large number of hansotn cabs run
ning on the London streets, which, I
doratand, are paying him remarkably
well.
