Show The Farmers' alliance, a granger organisation in Oneida county, New York, has initiated a movement which hay for its object tho keeping of lawyers out of the legislature. It is claimed, aud with aome truth, that, the legal gentlemen are giveu to framing conflicting laws, and creat ing those delightful twists in the statutes that furnish great pleasure to tbe lawyer and such bewildering perplexity per-plexity to the layman. Of course an increase in fees is the purpose. There are a good many honest, excellent guntlemen in the law, but it would perhaps be as well for them to prac tice their profession ia the oourts, and not in congress and the legislatures. |
