Judge Peasants Rulings on the law.

Some criticism on Judge Peasants has
been INDUCED 10 as to the recent trial for
murder on the ground of the time con-
sumed in obtaining jury. Every person
conversant with the matter knows that the
Judge had no control over that question;
the attorneys on both sides are to be
blamed for that. if any one is IN fault. re-
ally there was no fault. the jury were Sc
lected in very short time considering the
public interest which had been excited and
the recent occurrence of the murder.
1t has also been thought that the con-
tinuance should not have been granted to
Ross, but the judge could not have done
differently without having the entire YER
dict reversed by the supreme court and
the case sent back for another trial at an
enormous expense to the county. The
leading attorney for the prosecution, stated
to the court when the application for con-
tinuanea was made, that il was impossible
for the court to do otherwise than to grant
it and the people should be very glad to
know that the verdict cannot now be re-
versed or the county be put to further ex
pense on account of these two murders.
Many republicans in this section prefer
John G. Pepper to Judge Smith for the
position of circuit Judge Is the party
collar SO strong that they will vote against
their preferences simply because Judge
Smith was nominated by q so-called re-
publican convention? Shall the people be
sadd!ed for six years with an unfit man
because he managed to get delegates
enough to nominate him.
The Way Vanderbilt Succeeded.
When Commodore Vanderbilt was
running steamboats,, he beat all rivals
by trowing on steam to the utmost,
and even running down his enemy if
necessary, to accomplish triumph.
When he went to railrOading, he ad0p-
ted much shreWder and more success
full way, by uniting vast lines and their
tributaries under his own management
thus capturing all rivals, by sharing
with them the immense pool of profits
that were made by his skillful manipu-
lation. Messrs. Lawrence & Co., Ban
kers, n. Y, accomplish much greater
success in stock operations by their
new Combination Method Of
dealing. By this system the orders by
thousands of customers are pooled into
one vast sum and co operated under the
most experienced management, thus
giving to each shareholder all the ben
etits Of large capital and best skill.
Profits divided monthly. Any amount
from SIS to $4,000 can be used with
great success. SIS will make SIS profit.
$50 would return 1920 or per cent. on
the stock during the month. according
to the market, The now circular
(mailed free) has two unerring rules
for success aud fall explanations, SO
that any one can operate proftably.

HOW WEALTH IS ACCUMULATED.

AS rule, wealth is the result Of in
dustry, economy, attention to business
and as rule, poverty is the result Of
idleness, extravaganza, and inattention
to business, though to these rules there
are thousands of exceptions. The man
who has wasted his time, who has
thrown away his opportunities, is apt to
envy the man who has not. For instance,
there are six shoemakers working in one
shop. One of them attends to his busi-
ness. You can hear the music of his
hammer late and early. He is in love
with some girl on the next street. He
has made up his mind to be man to
succeed F.; to make somebody else happy;
to have home and while he is work.
ing, in his Imagination, he can see his
own freside, with the freight falling
upon the faces of wife and child. The
other five gentlemen work as little as
they can, spend Sunday in dissipation,
have the headache Monday, and, as a
result, never advance. The industrious
one, the one in Love, gains the conf
dence of his employer, and in little
while he cuts out work for the others.
The first thing you know he has shop
of his own, the next store because the
man of reputation, the man of character,
the man of known integrity, can buy all
he wishes in the United States upon q
credit. The next thing you know he is
married, and he has built him house,
and he is happy, and his dream has
been realized. After while the same
five shoemakers, having pursued the old
course, stand on the corner some Sum
day when he rides by. He has got car.
riage, his wife sits by his side, her face
covered with smiles, and they have got
two children, their eyes beaming with
joy, and the blue ribbons are huttering
in the wind. And thereupon, these five
shoemakers adjourn to some neighbor-
ing saloon and pass a resolution that
there is an irrepressible conflict between
capital and labor,-R. q. IngersolI.

THE HOUR OF DEATH.

Leaves have their time to fall
And flowers to wither at the north winds breath
And stars to set-but all,
Thou hast all seasons for thine, oh, Deathl
Day is for mortal care,
Eve for glad meetings round the Joyous hearth,
Night for the dreams OF Sleep the voice of prayer
But all for thee thou Mightiest of the Earth!
The banquet hath It's hour,
It's feverish hour of mrth and song and wine;
There comes day for Grief's Overwhelming power,
A time for sober tears-but all are thine!
Youth and the opening rose
May look like things too glorious for decay,
And smile at theel-but thou art not of these
That wait the rlpend bloom to seize their prey
Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wlther at the north winds breath,
And stars to set-but all,
Thou hast all seasons for thine own, oh, Deathl
We know when moons shall wane,
When summer birds from far shall cross the sea,
When autumns hue shall tiDge the golden grain
But who shall teach us when to look for theeP
Is 1t when springs first gale
Comes forth to whisper where the vlolets lie?
Is 1t when roses In our path grows paleP
They have one season-GH are ours to die
Thou art where blllows foam,
Thou art where music melts upon the air;
Thou art around us In our peaceful home,
And the world calls us forth-and thou art there
Thou art where friend meets friend,
Beneath the shadow of the elm to rest;
Thou art where foe meets foe and trumPets rend
The skies andswords beat down the princely crest.
Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the north winds breath,
And stars to set-but all,
Thou hast all seasons for thine own, oh, DEATH

In Russia taxes are collected in this
way: A peasant, representative Of dis.
trict, comprising several villages, is char
ged with the duty of collecting certain
amount of money, and it is the business
of the people to distribute the taxes
among themselves, as they like the best.
For the prompt collection, in the first
place, the representative is responsible;
and in case Of tardiness he is imprisoned
for week with common criminals, and
furnished with food at cost Of three
cents day. A district is forced to pay
for all its members, whether they are ac-
tual residents, or have gone elsewhere,
or are in the army. In case tax coll
lector is unable to do his duty, he reports
to the authorities; then the police appear
armed with rods, and if the rods do not
secure the desired result, the property
Of the delinquents is sold at auction.
