REMoyAL OF DISTRICT JUDGES.

Mr.. Collins, of Stearns county, intro
duced in the house on Friday bill for
constitutional amendment providing for
the removal of district judges for just
cause by two-thirds vote of both houses
of the legislature. The object of the
amendment is the saving of the expense
and scandal of impeachment trials. AS
far as we can see, the expense will be the
only saving wrought by the amendment,
and it is open to some grave objections
that should not be overlooked.
Happily, it is exceedingly rare that men
elevated to the bench disgrace themselves
and their Office by the commission Of acts
that properly render them liable to re-
moval. They are but human, and no
doubt are sometimes guilty Of indiscre-
tions and errors OF Judgment. But sell
dom, however, do their indiscretiOns be-
come vices or their errors SAVIOR of
dishonesty. When either occurs, our
elective system usually permits of their
retirement without either expense or scan
dial to the judiciary.
It is greatly to be feared that the pro-
posed change in the law would largely
increase scandals connected with our judic-
larry system. It would render the Judges
liable to petty prosecutions from personal
or political enemies. and in some instances
might result in the removal of judge for
no other offense than his political opin-
ions. The trial of a judge be-
fore Legislature would be no
less scandalous than it would before
court of impeachment, and there would be
no more likeliho of securing just YER
dict. It would also have tendency to
make judges more than they now are sub
servient to political parties. They would
feel it incumbent to be en- rapport with
the dominant political party in all mat
tiers not only in order to secure their places
on the bench, but to maintain them. This
would inevitably degrade the Office and its
incumbents, and lessen the public respect
in which they are held.
We can see no necessity for the amend
ment proposed. At the best it would only
save the state few thousand dollars once
in decade or less frequently. It is prob
able that we have had the last impeach-
ment trials that will ever disgrace the
history of Minnesota. It is to be hoped
80, at least. The methods of bringing dis
grace upon the judiciary, at any rate,
should not be simplifed without better
reasons than appear at the present time.

Secret OF an Old Mail Car.

An old mail car was destroyed in the
repair shops Of the Philadelphia. Whining
ton and Baltimore railroad, Wilmington.
Del, on December 20. Beneath the slant
ing false bottom Of the car were found 81
letters, which had apparently been there
IL years they had been sfted through the
cracks in the wooden flooring in 1871.
Twenty four of the letters were addressed
to Wilmington, Del. 10 to Dover. Del.
and one each TO Warwick and Kent Island.
Md. and to Little Creek Landing, Del. A
number Of unaddressed newspapers were
also found. The letters were forwarded
to Superintendent X. &. Jackson of the
Railway Mail Service in New York. and
he. on December %. sent them to their
different destinations. December 20. he
received a communication from Postmas-
ter w. j. Swigget. OF Wilmington, Del,
in which was described the distribution of
the letters and their contents. Some of
them paid old debts and others reminded
the receivers of creditors. One contained
bank check for go. and another had
within its envelope draft for S24S. There
was in one of the letters an order for fresh
fish. A gilt-edged card was an invitation
to attend u ball in 1871 Several persons
received letters from people whose funerals
they had long ago attended.

A Man Who Swallowed a Frog.

Ignaiiez Sablik of Glencoe. Mimi, kept
wasting away In flesh. while his stomach
was becoming swollen and almost contin.
ualIy disturbed. This continued until he
attended a dancing party near Silver Lake,
and drank freely Of beer, this seeming to
axree with and relieve him. The morning
after he felt much worse, and started alone
for Koniska, where he was to meet team
which was to bring him to Glencoe TO con-
suit IA ply sician. Before reaching Koniska
he became very sick and was seized with
vomiting, during which there was thrown
from his stomach full-sized frog three to
four inches long. alive and able to hop
few inches. Overcome with weakness and
fright the fellow tainted away, and COM
ing TO himself shortly after. he found the
frog frozen and dead. He left the animal
there and made out to reach house near
by where he was kindly cared for. The
accuracy Of this story is vouched Tor by
others besides Mr.. Sablik. When the
writer saw him he showed traces OF suffer-
ing, but said he was rapidly regaining his
health He thinks he swallowed 1t while
drinking from an almost stagnant marsh
during haying time. This seems rea-
sonable snppOsilion, and in that case the
frog lived IN his stomach for at least six
months. II was very remarkable oc-
curence but may be relied upon as true in
every particular.

was the first preparation perfectly adapted to cure
diseases of the scalp, and the first successful re-
storer of faded gray hair to its natural color.
growth, and youthful beauty. 1t has had many
imitators, but none have so fully met all the re-
quirements needful for the proper treatment of
the hair and scalp. HALLS HAIR REVIEWER has
steadily grown in favor, and spread its fame and
usefulness to every quarter of the globe. Its un-
paralleled success can be attributed to but one
cause: the entire tui6iment Of its promises.
Theproprietors have often been surprised at the
receipt of orders from remote countries. where
they had never made an effort for its introduction.
The use for short time of HALLS HAIR
REVIEWER wonderfully improves the personal
appearance. 1t ceanses the scalp from all i'm
purities. cures all humors, fever, and dryness
and thus prevents badness. 1t stimulates the
weakened glands, and enables them to push for
ward new and vigorous growth. The effects of
this article not transient. like those of alco-
holic preparations. but remain long time, which
makes its use matter of economy.

NO USE FOR Them.

Concerning Certain Relics of the Past-Dogs
that have had Their Day.
George Stephensou's Rocket and the magnif.
cent locomotives of to-day, are built upon the same
general principal; yet the machine with which the
great eugineef astonshed his age Is interesting no"
only as an illustration of the beginning of the in
yentiop. There were plasters with holes in then
long before BENoON'o CAPClNE POROUS PLAS
TER surprised both the public and the ply sicians;
and the triumph of the Capcne is founded upon the
partial successes, OF the utter failures OF its prede
cessors Everything OF value IN the old porous plas
ter is retained the Capcine but at this point all
comparison ends, and contrast begins. FOR
example:
The old pIasters were slow In their action; the
Capcine is quick and sure.
The old pasters lacked the power to do more than
to impart slight mporary relief in cases easy OF
treatment; iii. Capcine penetrates the system and
permanently, cue, the troubles for which II Is rec
commended.
The old plasters depended for any good results
they might obtain, upon accident Of their makers
and the naked faith of their wearers the Benson's
reaches its ends by means of the scientific comhna'
ton of the rare medicinal ingredients which il
contains.
In trief, the old pasiers. like Stephcnson's dis
carded engine, switched of the track. while the
Benson's goes on its WAY winning golden opinions
from all sorts of people.
Yet in this very fact lies the leading danger 10 the
people who buy and use this reliable and scientific
remedy. Hypocrisy is the tribute vice pays TO
virtue" Imitation is the concession failure makes
to success. Benson's Plasters ae parodied in name
