FROM Ottawa tt►enews comes that
the great Canadian war lord, the
Hon. JC1.IC, C.EOAR PATTessox, is
likely to take the stripes out of his
trousers and step down and out from
the position of Minister of Muskets.
It seems that Sir AtiotenE Cason has
grown tired of the Post -office portfolio
and is clamoring for the command of
the roaring cannon, the Rounding
cwlverin and the rattling small arms,
and that PATTSRRor, who fears to try
another politcal fall with M. C. CANs-
Rox, has decided to go on the bench.
We meet mnf s1 that we hardly under-
stand the bench end of the story, as we
have not been able to find the lame of
J. C. PArrsosos amongst the Ontario
barristers, and it is altogether likely
that a man to become judge must, of
necessity, have been a barrister. But
whether the Hon. J. `C. PATTER -40N be
A barrister or not there is a scheme on
at Ottawa to take the military stripes
out of his trowsera and the epaulettes
from off his tunic.
AN OVERPAID DISTURBER.
)L GEORG. T•YIMR DENTN.tl, of
pronto, is not alone a " warrior bold,"
but by virtu* of the choice of Sir
Omega Mow*r, " in a moment of
weakness," is also stipendiary magis-
trate for that city and enjoys, clay in
and day out, rain or shine, a salary of
$4,000 per annum for dispensing law,
M he understands it. He is at pre
sent enjoying one of his numerous
holidays in the OM Country, and has
lately been letting himself loose on
the American Eagle with a vigor and
ferocity startling and fearful to be-
hold.
Now, the ravings of I)settlor,or any
other man Of the stats -pensioned order,
would be rather amusing than herrn
ful if only heard by those who know
the special kind of insanity that afflicts
the paw fellow, but the braggart lan-
guage. iodwlge.' in by this paid official
is, at this particular junctures more

If every farmer in Ontario had a
guaranteed income of $4,000 per ail
num for two hours' work daily they
could afford to speak ofleurively of our
neighbors, though even then the irad
manners mot vile taste would remain .
but ss our yeomen are not so favored
and must labor for all they get they
are concerned in all that is best cake
latetd to most fully reward their toil.
Hence they feel that Damson's Lon
don after dinner speech was both ill
mannered and untruthful and .alcu-
lated1 to dispose the American Coa-
t/reels to be leas favorable to our conn
try iu' their tariff policy now being

We don't fora moment suppose the
legislators of the States will be in-
fluenced by Usalsolr's froth, for they
have their own silly tali twisters who
serve to entertain them like any other
order of tnania.s, and, of coarse, they
will make all due allowance for this
wild man, but the gravity of his offence
is heightened by the fact of his posi-
tion which ought to be attended by
dignity and decency. We are, how-
ever, tiesitais at knowing hew mace

braggart fellow is paid to the deputy
who is now discharging the duties of
the office, for surely, if, as we believe.

that some one of them will move in
the next session for the necessary
inforuatiol. with the view of arrang-
ing the salary of this official on the

doing the work in a manner fully as
satisfactory as the notorious fire eater
ever did.
ix•rued, the rase is .tried, though by
this tune both the plaintiff and defend-
ant base grown to be old neer, and
then, if the case is large s .sgh, and
the birds will stead more plucking,
the case goes to the Judicial Commit-
tee of the Privy Council of Fongiaod,
where, after paying enormous fess, an
application is made asking leave to
appeal the cars, which, if granted,
only enables the case to be heard, and
then, and only then, does it enter the
court of finality. The cans is ended,
and whoa all is stemmed up it is found
that with what the profession tall arts
between solicitor and client, Sind un -
collectable charges from "the other
fellow " the einem is seldom the gain-
ner while the loser is irretrievably
ruined.
This picture is not overdrawn sad
not a section of our .roantry but is
full of instances of mea whose lives
have been waste.) and whale -fortunes
have been dissipated awaiting a legal
decision which should have been given
expeditiously and cheaply. We join
with The (:lobe in urging on the Leg-
islature, the cheapening of law and
the wiping out of so many courts of
appeal. Let there be an appeal front
the trial judge to the court of appeal
aid let that be the final court. Why
go farther, surely if another court
of appeal at Ottawa or elsewhere is
open, why not a donut, and so on t
Justice delayed is justice denied,aad
and the number of courts •trod multi-
tude of methods to bathos a poor man
seeking speedy justice in effect makes

poor tan's destruction. We wish The
(:lobe *very success in its noble
crusade.
FOR LAW REFORM.
THE Toronto (;lobe is performing ah
excellent work in bringing before the
country the question of "Law Reform"
in so able a manner, and as the evi-
dences of the injury that has been
bene to society by the present iniqui-
tous system of delay and expense to un-
fortnate litigants are so manifold and
wide -spread, we feel sure that the
demand for the exercise of the axe
in cutting down the tree of torture
and legal robbery will prove irresist-
ible. The ways of the legal profession
are dubious and devious and it does
seem as though the stat utas and the reg-
ulations of the Star Chamber known
as the Law Society were trained anti
fashioned to enable the legal fraternity
to keep the poor wretches who go to
law in the toils while a dollar can be
had wherewith to keep the legal pot
)soiling. The liar has got many men
of most exalted character within its
reeks who regret to see the iniquity
continued of forcing suits, after inter
minable delays and unknown chargee
for all kinds of sert-ices,from one court
to another. and who, like our worthy
mender in the Legislature, Mr. OAR -
boa, are in favor of simplifying, cheap-
ening and expediting law.
Take the case of an orhary IRM'
suit, which souk' be settle -1 by calling
in some honest aul competent arbitra-
tor, and look at the tortuous methoela
adopted by the legal gentlemen on
both sides. First the suit is entered
in the diviaoaal court and a defence
is entered! ; then motions for examine
tion follow : after which motions for
production come on ; motions 1 strike
out pleadings, and a thousandand one
so -caked services are rendered to delay,
harass and rob the poor wretches who
are by this time fairly in the spider's
web. Then, after a delay of perhaps
a year or two, during which the liti-
gants are being bleed white, Vie case
conies to trial and a decision by
the trial judge is given. Then an ap
peal to the full meet of the division
is in order, which is got rid of to be
followed by • further appeal to the
court of appeal, which, of course, does
not use up the legal machinery for
draining the greenhorns, and dol
vice is given to follow the rase to (et -
there, where, as a Supreme Court of
.nada,• bent judges site to revise
the finding of ( Ontario fudges on On-
tario law though the majority of the
gentlemen who adorn the Supreme
Court bench are neither Ontario men
nor are they specially fitted to adjedi-
eat. on matter. of Ontario law. Bat.
that does not meteor, for the proceed-
ing before LIDS so called Supremo
Court, draws more and more on the
substance of the contending parties,
and so the battle ragas, for to the law-
yers the powder .std hall mate nothing
but every volley adds to their fess.
