The Benefit of a Doubt.

An intelligent correspondent asks if
1t Is safe to hang Il man as long as Il
lingering doubt of his guilt remains.
Our response, if the question is put to
us, would he, that it depends upon
whose doubt 1t is. Our laws provide
fair safeguards for the innocent. The
prosecution must prove the guilt of the
accused, to the satisfaction of twelve
men, under the Instructions of an in
telligent court. If they, or any one of
them. has Il reasonable doubt of the
guilt of the prisoner, there should be
and will he no conviction. But it will
hardly do to say that no man shall re-
ceive the extreme penalty of the law,
as long as any doubt of his guilt remains
III the mind Of any one in the commu-
nifty. Society would seriously lack pro-
lection if that were the case. Many
murders are committed, where direct
testimony cannot be obtained. Justice
must be permitted to obtain its end
through circumStantial evidence, or
half the murderers will 90 scot free.
But the evidence sifted and tested under
forms of law designed to protect the
innocent as well as to punish the guilty,
must satisfy each of twelve jurymen of
the guilt of the accused. 1t seems to
us that that is enough. Certainly with
Jurles us intelligent as the average jul
ries i'll this State, and with judges as
humane and experienced as most of our
judges, there is little danger of hanging
innocent men. We cannot try criminals
"by newspaper" or 10y jury of the
whole community, with sensations and
penny-a-linel'syarnsf for evidence That
would practically reduce justice to the
punishment of only confessed crim-
nals.-Free Press.

The editor of the Chicago Advapc,

The editor of the Chicago Advance
saw poorly dressed woman enter Il
drug store, lay down ten cents, and re-
ceive Il little package. He inquired
what she had bought, and was told it
was opium, of which a stock was kept
ready for regular customers. He was
also told by a physician of a woman
''whO had been able to conceal this vice
till after her marriage, whose husband
had removed from the city to a country
place, and taken every precaution
against carrying any of the deadly drug
with them. And yet his wife grew
worse and worse 1.-THE deadly palIor of
her face might have betrayed her in
the beginning,) and he found that she
had struggled Il pound of opium in Il
chest Of tea, and so could use unlimited
quantities."

THE
N ational Disease
Is it durable {?

Those who have suffered from the various and
complicated forms of disease assumed by CaGarrh,
and have tried many physicians and remedies with
out relief cure, await the answer to this ques-
ton with considerable anxiety. And well they
may for no disease be mentioned that is so
universally prevalent and so destructive to health
as Catarrh Bronchitis Asthma, Coughs, and seri-
GUS and frequently fatal affections of the lungs
follow, in many cases, a case of simple but neg
legted Catarrh. Other sympathetic affections such
as deafness impaired eyesight and loss of sense of
smell may be referred to minor but nevertheless
serious results of neglected Catarrh bad enough OF
themselves, but nothing compared with the
dangerous affections of throat and lungs likely to

Many interesting personal experiences

family, whom he had reduced to poverty
and want. Some of the brethren found

sANFoRD's RADICAL CURE

Has worked revolution in the treatmement of Ca
tarrh. 1t has demonstrated beyond all doubt that
this disease in its severest forms is curable
and that comfort and happiness may be made to
follow years of misery, years of suffering, by a
persistent use of it. The method of treatment
originated by DR.. Sanford. viz the local and con-
stitutional by preparation prepared by distilla-
ton, is the only offered to the public that will
bear the test of time.
