It la true in every instance that when comtunities or countries are experi- a enoing a general- depression in busi ness they seek for some real or imaginary cause from which to trace the depression. We find in our own State at present an example of tbis truth., Our State, and in fact it Is true of all sections of our country, is ex pbrioncing, and has experienced for several years, a general depression in every business in which our citizetse are engaged. Front this condition of affairs a certain class of our citizens have traced the cause, and have organ Ized Into what is called the farmers' movement to relieve themselves of the evil. In this istance.they seek to lay at the door of the lawyers the cause of the general business depression of our State, and in an open letter one of our most prominent citizens has gone so fhr as to charge that our Stae Is ruled by an "oligarchy of lawyers." This Is the pith of the complaint, says the author'of the article referred to, and Is too plain to be denied. Do the aicts warrant the assertion? We take It to be a fact that since the Democratic party caie Into power in the State, a maiority of the members of the Legis lature hav6 ben farmers, and that in the Senate they have had li most cases an actual majority, and in every in stance a majority over any other pro f9en. If this be true they must have controlled the proceedings of the Gen oral Assembly, and possessed the power to pass or defeat any measure brought before that body. Once this is true, the only conclusion which can be drawn is that they are responsible for the laws which hate been passed sluice 1876, and are accountable to the people of the State for the administra tion of the government. 7f this con dition of affairs has existed we atro un willing to admit that a minority of the General Assembly could control the government, and as a consequence It could not have been controlled by the lawyers. But, further, Captain M bla-dm its that no charge of or ruptioni or ia Tamreerarh.ri' uaft- De made, and as lie cites no instance of laws which have been passed by the Legislature, detrimetal or in any a way prejudicial to the rights of the farmers and in the interest of the law yers, we take it for granted that no such have been passed. Where, then, Is the just ground for thae compialumt that the State is ruled by an oligarchy of lawyers, or that, our gove spent ie -not administered In a propc-'ay? We facts Vtarrant the assertion. ( But, Captain McMeekin charges further that the Senate is composed almqst entirely of lawyers, the Speak er of the House is a lawyer, and the chairman of a majority of the commit teas are lawyers. Upon the fiest as sortont we bog to differ, but for the sake of argumnat we wvili admit that it is true. Did not. the House, a majori ty of which were farmers, hold a I veto power, aand could thtus de-i feat any obnoxious legislatiou proposed by the Senate? As to. the Speaker of a the House, what great power is vested a in him that makes him a dictator in I that body? Hie Is generally selected from the legal profession sihnply from the fact, that the probabilities are that lie would have a better knowledge of parliamentary law tihan one from the agricultural profession. The third assertion that tihe chair mean of a majority of the Legislative oommittees sinuce 1876 have been law yer's, we challenugo him to prove. Bunti he continues, anud lads fault with the present judicial system of the State, ont account of the power which it hats of I construing the laws passed by the General Assembly. He would rob the Courts of this power and thus defeat, to a great extent, the object for which c they were eated under the Constitu. g tion. lHe would introduce a reform I whieh would give t~o the Legislature the power to construe its own Acts. a A single illustration will show that ci the supposed reform would result in 7 an ignominious failure. Suppose tho Sgiature of 1885 had passed an Act -, Makiwg it a crime to, do or ntot do a d a#Ntticular tbing. When the Act be- tl .omes a law it is found that it admits s' et two entirely different constructions. 0 (and this is firequetntly the case), and i under this criminal statute some paarty s< Is arrested and tried before the Court fi of Sessions. One conttruction of the .stattite wouhl make him guilty of a e crime, but-the other would not. The hi ctrettit judge does not know exactly E what the Legislature Intended, but the accused Is found guilty, and his coun -el appeals to the Supreme Court. Blut when he get. there, to his sorrow, he Is Informed by their IHonors that they 1 - have made a lifelong sitidy of the law -and the rules of construction, but the ki .Legislature has taken from them the mi power of lanteipretationa, so they can to give hipmuso relief, and lhe must file ii proeb4lnge to have, the Legislature to iaterpriot -the Act. In the meantime A theprisoner is condhted in jal, and ** when the Legislature of 1888 convenes we1T4 that onhy twenty-five members 8a hqe former body have been returned M '(th Iis ls the average returned, as iyth te 'subatantiate( by statisties) -n4 we have almost an entirely differ nt Lgisatusre. Titon we are placed in he osiionof haing a Legislature Interpret ah Act which admits of ro. construetions, when perhaps a ajority of the members never heard- sil tho Act, and haven't the remotest lea of what the former Legislature u itended, Such a reform would have similar efibot upon the clvil side of to court, and the result would be )mfion. C Our friend in his postserlpt disclahns ny intention to array the farmers 0 gainst the lawyers or any qther.class. 1 t the same time ho says that the 4 tate Is ruled by an oligarchy of law ers-and this is the pith of the com laint. From our construction, the isue has been made and we admire is candor. E In conclusion we can only pay that C )aptain MeMeekin's letter proves the ruth of the proposition which we tated ino the beginning, and that from a he general depression of the country to sees an imaginary cause in the fact hat lawyers have been elected by a :onstituency of farmers to seats in, -the 3eneral Assemably of South Carolina. BLIND CIHAPLAIN MILBURN. Some of the Characteristics of the Parson Whose Publio Prayers Please the Pe. ple. (P"rom the WasMngton Post.) l The Rev. Dr. Milburn the blind Chaptain of the House of Representa tives whose prayers are just now creating a sensation, Is a remarkable man in more than one respect. Forty three years ago he was told by oi. nent, doctors teat he would be dead within six months, and since that time he has traveled, by actual comn putation, a million and a half miles in his voca tion. ie is now physically, although in his sixty-fourth year, as strong and robust as inost men of thirty, and his intellect is of more than common power. Ile can give more accurate descri[ptioins of Westminster Abbey, Cologne Cathedral, Notre Dame and the other Old Word monuments than can the majority of those persons who have not been dopendent on other people's eyes and on their sense of touch. lie can describe the rocky outlines and mountalinons declivities of the SIerras and of the Rocky Mountains and of the picturesque beauties of the Blue Ridge with a force and vigor combined with acecuracy rarely equal ed, even by writers who still retain their sight, while he has been blind since lie was five years old.' At Is his wonderful power of thus dcescriblng in simple language the concrete tl a life that renders his sern anic prayers so forceful and a4 g to thon such widespread aJtfr6n. Ilis first invocation to -fict notice ini the Howa* rons denunciation of o0' gainbling, but recently he cast ll previous utterances in the shade by -eferring to the present labor troubles .n such a manne r as to call forth from 6 lepresentative the remark that It was "an incendiary apeech." A reporter of the -Post found Dr. Uliburin enjoying the delight of a ong-stemnmed pipe. At the reporter's mntrance the Doctor arose, and, in a )earty voice, said lhe was "glad to see" 'dln. The reverend~ genutlemanm is of ~all and cominanding presence.

PAuL, April 14.-Privato advices I say the storm struck the railroad be tween the round house and depot, and swept a path 600 yards wide through the city, levelling between 150 and 200 houses. H. M. Clark, a well-known lumberman who lives in St. Cloud, says ninety persons'were killed and more than 100 injured, many very seriously. Superintendent Wakeman of the Manitoba Road says that be tween thirty and forty persons were killed at Sauk Rapids, a few miles southeast of St. Cloud, and nearly double that number injured. ST.
