A REFORM DEMANDED.

Edward Stokes was convicted of the
murder of james Fiskand sentenced to be
hung in New York just one year from the
day of the murder. During that year he
had had one mistrial. He was defended
by the most eminent counsel of that great
state, and every delay was procured that
money, influence and able counsel could
suggest. Yet he was enabled to delay his
second trial but one year, and though sur
rounded by high social and political infiu-
ences, he is now under sentence of death
for murder. The law and practice of the
courts of New York is far different from
that of Tennessee, or his first trial would
not even yet have taken place.
We refer to this subject now,
Legislators to it. Our criminal laws as now
administered are farcieal. We know of
cases of murder standing OIL the dockets Of
our courts for years and the defendants
have not yet been even brought to their
first trial in the inferior courts. The prac
counsel criminal trial can be deferred
from term to term until years have passed
and the witnesses are either scattered or
dead or public patience so worn out that a
trial amounts to but little.
While defendants should not he forced
prematurely into trial in criminal cases or
should not be tried when prejudice or ex-
element is so intense as to prevet a fair tri
al, yet there is no reason why delay should
be longer than few months, in the worst
cases. Public policy demands that crimi-
nal trials should come off within a reason
able time from the date of the offense. LII
Tennessee the trial may sometimes be de-
layed beyond the recollection of the wit
nesses. -Four and five years of delay are
not unfrequent. Is not this a mockery of
Justice? Is not a reform needed? If the
practice has become too liberal in our
Criminal Courts, let it be remedied by Leg
islation. More stringent laws will insure
greater diligence in the preparation of
cases and speedier trials and punishments
will ensure fewer crimes. A reform is
demanded, for criminals seem::to have no
terror of the law.

A HEALTHY public sentiment is begin
ming to operate upon large class of of
flee seekers, mailing from all political par
ties, who use their money as means of
obtaining office. They corrupt voters,
they corrupt Legislatures and always find
enough time-serving politicians to do their
dirty work. The people must learn to look
with suspicion upon any man who at
temps to corrupt voters with his money.
He is not to be trusted and no matter
whether he aspires to a United States Sen
atorship or to the meanest subordinate's
place, if he uses money corruptly, he ought
to be watched.

LAST week. was one of the coolest OF
this cold winter. All over the North and
Northwest the thermometer sank to, from
zero, to several degrees below. Our ex-

abundant evidence of the severity of the
winter, and the suffering of man and
beast. We have complained in this local
ity, but the weather here has been mod

The Senate Committee to investigate
the charges against Senator Caldwell, of
Kansas, charged with having secured his
election b.y money, has developed testimo-
ny sufficient to establish the charges. A
Washington telegram Of the 18th says:
The revelations of Governor Carney to-
day before the Senate Committee on Priv
ileges and Elections confirm the rumor
that Caldwell paid him 900 to with
draw from the Senatorial contest.
II admit it, says Caldwell "but what
Senator has not seen that rival candidates
who withdrew at the proper time had
foreign missions or consulates or Indian
agencies. Let the Senator who has no
glass in his own electoral house throw the
first stone"
1t only remains now for the Senate to
expel him, and this it should do speedily
and without much ceremony.
Similar charges are preferred against one
Patterson, elected from South Carolina.
There is little doubt of his guilt. His case
should be disposed of as soon as possible.
The influence of few explosions would
be wholesome.

OUR dispatches this morning speak of
the arrival of General Mcmillan at Wash
ington. He is one of the Senators elect
from Louisiana. Mr.. Ray also claims the
position. They have been elected to fill
out Senator Kelloggs unexpired term.
Their credentials will be referred to the
Committee on Elections, which committee
will have to decide who is the rightful
claimant. In this connection, the ques-
ton rs to which of the existing State Gov
ernments in Louisiana is the legal one,
will come up. AS only abont six weeks of
Mr.. Kellogg term in the Senate remain,
neither of the claimants will have long to
serve. B..

Canadian was q shiftless, worthless, strange
Acting man, but not addicted to strong drink.
Oracle and her father and mother lived in an up

badly in other respects Mrs Love had deter
mined to go with her child to Bridgewater, which
move was not agreeable to Mr.. Love. He was
Wiling that his wife should go. but he wanted
to keep the child. To this the mother would not
consent. Mrs. Love was about to start, and
dlacie was ready 10 go along. MIR. Love came
III and insisted once more upon the child staying
with him. The mother would not listen to it,
Then MIR. Love said he would carry Oracle and
accompany his wife to the depot. Mis-. Love
would not agree even to this, for she feared her
husband would try TO steal the little one The
father picked up his child and went down one
night OF stairs, followed by the mother. Here
thefe was some more talk and the man put down

Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation !;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard /;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruf; and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair a splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, Md,
State Assayer of Massachusetts, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and 1 consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"
