Trial bu JurU.


Lei us look at one positive advantage
from abolishing jury trials. The rules Oh
evidence. which have been accumulatlng
for centuries as lights and guides to The
temple of Justice, have become SO nut
merous and contradictory rs to dazzle
and bewilder. aud moro often shut ont
the truth than aid in its production. Now,
if The Jury system were abolished, nearly
All OF these blind guides could be safely
swept away. The admission and rel'c-
ton ol testimony could bs safely leit TO
Judge. with only few simple rules 10
limit his discretion. -,
But, after all, the decision OF civil
cases by lurics is humbus 1t Is said
that iurics in civil cases decide the TACT
in criminal oaes both the fact and the
law. But in civil cases they do not even
decide the tact. In every State there is
a court of last resort, which is entirely
composed of judges, and nearly every
case tried in the inferior courts may be
brought before this Tor review. 1t the
Judge of lower court makes All errone-
Gus decision, the party aggrieved appeals
to the higher court, in which the case IS
reviewed, and the judgment, if wrong
reversed or corrected. The very same
thing happens in trials by juries. lfthsy
decide against the weight of evidence
their verdict is set aside; il they pass
upon a question OF law which 1t was the
duty OF the Judge to decide, a ne" 'f'aI
!. granted In short. the trial OF civil
case by jury amounts simply to this
that il the higher court consider the YER
eict to be right, it stands it not, then IL
is reversed.
Therefore, since civil cases are IN
reality tried aud decided by Judges. why
retain tho fiction that a jury composed "I
twelve ordiuar, men decide the ease
which are brought before thrm' WA,
not abandon that mode of trial, and thus
save the Inconvenience, expense, and de
Law hat we have shown To exist. : LIP

Aver s
HairVigor,
For restoring to Gray Hair its
natural Vitality and Color.

gloss ana JTeSHHtSS ~ yOHtb' ihIil
hair is thickened, falling hair checked
and badness often, though not always
cured by it's use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands strophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and Stimu-
lated into activity, so that a now
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with pasty ssdi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so IN
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.
