In the case of the state of Kansas vs.
George Morris, tried before a jury at the
last term OF the Allen county District
Court Judge Talcott instructed the jury
as follows:
THE defendant stands charged with
having knowingly and wiIfully commit
ted an assault upon the person OF Syl-
vester Morley, and in beating and
wounding him; and upon the questions
of law by which you are to be governed
in arriving at your verdict, you are in
structed:
'If you find from the evidence that
the defendant was school teacher, and
that the person alleged to have been as
saulted was pupil, attending the school
kept by the defendant, he, the defend.
ant, had discretionary power and right
which he might reasonably exercise in
the inflictiOn Of punishment. This pow.
er and right extends to all pupils in at
tendance, and the teacher cannot be
held liable, criminally, for the exercise
of such discretionary power, unless the
punishment was excessive or cruel, or
wholly .dispr0pOrtionate to the offence
committed by the pupil; or unless it was
inflicted merely to crafty the evil pas
sions of the teacher.
"The defendant has introduced testi-
mony tending to show that the punish
ment inflicted in this case was merely
the correcting Ut pupil tor misconduct,
and that, under all the circumstances it
was proper and necessary in order to
maintain correct department among his

evidence, that this was the case, and
that the chastisement did not exceed the
bounds of moderation. and extend to
that of cruel and merclless punishment;
and that there was reason to believe it
necessary for the purpose Of enforcing
discipline in the school, the defendant
cannot be held criminally liable therefor.
I'm exercising the discretionary power
to which your attention has been called,
the teacher must be reasonable. and
must be governed as to the mode and
severity OF the punishment by the nature
Of the offence, and the age and strength
Of the pupil. The mere infection of coz
porsl punishment by teacher upon a
pupil is not unlawful, but the excess Of
it is; and what is to he regarded as ex-

"The fact that the boy in this case

The News has not supported Jshn J.. BagIsy
or any other candidate for senator. In the es-
timation of the News not one OF them is con-
trolled by the sound views on the tariff that q
senator from great agricultural state should
hold The News has not thrown dirt upon any
OF the candidates or their friends. 1t has fair
ly presented the relative standing Of the can
didates and the influences operating in their
favor, as obtained from its representatives at
home aud abroad. It is OF no consequence to
the News what these indicate. In describing
the situation in the Lansing congressional DIS
trict the representative of The News said:
"The opposition OF the Lansing Republican to
Mr.. Bagley is easily accounted for. In his in
augural message Of 1874, Gov. Bagley called
attention to the state printing contract, and
made certain recommendations in the direction
of economy. BY comparing the printed pages
OF the laws OF 1873 and 1875 the extent to
which the state printers we're affected by these
recommendations can easily be SEEM"
Desiring to be courteous a. well as fair, the
sentence quoted was stricken from the copy in
the appending article, although Its truthfulness
wonld not be questioned outside OF the Repub-
lican Office. The Republican, which does not
appreciate independence or courtesy in jour
nalism, can at least comprehend the force OF
the excluded paragraph now brought to light

The FORGER PHILP HELD.-Judge Davis
held Kenward Philip for trial last Saturday
on the charge of malicious libel against
General Garfield. The decision was very
long and full and reviewed all the import
ant facts in the case, and the evidence in
detail. In most convincing and forcible
manner Judge Davis showed that there
could not be the least shadow of doubt
that the Morey letter was forgery. He
exposed all the blackness of the foul con-
spracy, and commented severely on Mr..
Hewitt's course in connection with the
letter. 1t is said that Colonel Ii. II.
hadley has acted as a confidential agent of
the Democratic National Committee in this
conspiracy, and that he was sent to Cum
6erlard, Nd, to assist in the plot. Mr..
Hewitt has written letter defending him
sell againt Judge Daviss criticisms. Mar
shall Jewell, Chairman of the Republican
National Committee, stated at Detroit Sat
urday, that the Committee intended tc
pursue relentlessly all persons connected
with the forgery of General Garield's name
In the Morey letter. Counsel for the pros
ecutlon Of the conspirators are busily en-
gagged in following up the clews which the
confessions of the two perjured witnesses
James OF rien and S. S. Morey, have giveI
them.

W uo
We tell of these things in the news
papers, because there are thousands of
you who don't know what we are
doing; thousands of you don't know the
character of the stock that fills these S
acres; thousands of you who, therefore,
buy where you pay more money.
We are every merchants fair and
open competitor. We do not expect to
gather millions of trade from all over
the country without meeting opposition
and misrepresentation. Some will be-
lieve whatever is said against us. The
only answer we make is: Send back
whatever you don't want at the price.
We want your trade. You want our
goods; or would want them, if you
knew. No matter how far away you
may be; you will do we'll to send to
us for some things. We ask you to
write to us about something you have
present occasion for.
When we get in communication with
you, we shall have one means of winning
your trade, viz, by pleasing you. When
we have won it, we shall have one means
of keeping it. viz, by dealing with you
as we deal with everybody: giving you
large return for your money, and sup
plying your wants so intelligently that
you will write us for what you want as
naturally as you say good morning"
to your next-door neighbor.

THE STORE AND THE TRADE.

A study of this ground plan, incom-
plete as it is, will give you better idea
of the store, and of what is in it, than de-
scription can do The store covers III
acres; basement is under, and galleries
are over, a part. The whole affords
somewhere about acres of room.
This particular business is 4 years old;
it began in 1876 with clothing; in 1877
itbecame a general store with such goods
as you see in the plan, with carpets, up
holstery, furniture, and kitchen-furnishing
upstairs. Since that time gallery after
gallery has been added and there is
not an inch of room to spare anywhere.
To the surprise of many, it has hourished
while trade was languishing almost
everywhere else.
To us there is no mystery about it;
nothing surprising even; unless it be
surprising that so conspicuous business
should ever be misunderstood. We do
nothing more than simply to provide
facilities for your getting what you want.
We don't mean to say that other
facilities are not provided for distributing
goods but that's a different thing.
We provide SO that you get what you
want exactly gOhat you a0anti In the
first place we've got it. In the second
place we send it. And if we send you
the wrong thing, or if you think the
charge is too much, you bundle it back
