DR.. Robert Newton, late President of the
Eclectic College, of the city vf New York,
and formerly of Cincinnati, used DR.. VIM.
Halls Balsam very extensively in his prac-
tice, as many of his patients, now living,
and restored to health by the use of this
invaluable medicine, can amply testify.
He always said that so good a remedy
ought to be prescribed freely by every
physician as a sovereign remedy in all cases
of lung diseases. 1t cures consumption
and has no equal for all pectoral coma
plants.

THE Justices OF the Supreme Court,
whom D. s. Terry has assailed, decline
and very properly-to appear before the
Assembly inquisitorial committee. They
admit the jurisdiction of the houses of the
Legislature to try them, but justly hold it
to be subversiye of the independence of
the Judiciary to submit to the inquisitoral
action of committee seeking to ascertain
whether proper charges can be laid. In
this action the people will support the
Justices. They fill Offices conferred by the
people-places of high trust and dignity
and it is their duty to maintain them upon
the plane of their character. The Consti-
tuition provides for their trial by the
"houses,' not by committee of either
house. We do not believe this Legislature
has power to try the Justices, and that
if presented for judicial determination the
question would be so decided. The JUS
tees might, therefore, very properly deny
the jurisdiction of the present legislative
body in toto.

Now that the folly of the extra session

AN Eastern journal believes that moth
ing would better please the Democracy
Just now than foreign war. Something
is needed to divert the attention of the
country from the misdeeds and shortcom-
ings of the party. This is probably true ;
foreign war would certainly benefit the
Democratic party, unless we managed to
get ourselves "gloriously whipped But
if out of the Cutting case conflict ought to
come. no obstacles should be thrown in the
way because political party will gain
some capital by the prosecution of the
war. A breaking off of amicable relations
with Mexico ought not to result from so
small cause as Cutting. But the principle
involved is great one, and for its mainte-
nance we can afford to spare few weeks
in which to thrash Mexico, even if the
Democratic party profits thereby.
THE Boston Journal charges that the
reason that the Senate Committee on APP
preparations struck out the item from the
appropriation bill for printing the "Of-
fetal Records of the War of the Rebel
lion," is that the compilation of the
records is under charge of ex-rebels
There must have been some powerful rea-
son for the action of the committee, COM
posed as it is of Senators Allison of Iowa
chairman, Dawes of Massachusetts,
Plumb of Kansas, Hale of Maine Malone
of Virginia, Logan of Illinois, Beck OF
Kentucky, Cockrell of Missouri, Call OF
Florida, and German of Maryland-six
Republicans and four Democrats. We
have no means of knowing how much Of
trutl. or of falsity there is in the charge,
but it is certain that some unexpressed
reason actuated the committee.

pie who are willing to submit to such dangerous
practices. or doing other equally foolish and
hazardous things? It is only few years since
the attempt TO take ones life was made Il crime
in this State. Would it not be wise TO supple
ment this law with one making it felony for
man to put in jeopardy his own life or the life
of friend or associate unless some humane or
useful end is to be served?
The suggestive inquiries of our contem-
porary must, of course, be answered in the
affirmative. 1t is scarcely probable that
as the law stands the Brooklyn Bridge
jumper can be prosecuted, for clearly he
did not intend to die, but to survive, and
this is also true of the whirlpool idiot. In
every State in the Union there should be
laws to prevent foolhardy attempts to do
things that put human life in peril for no
good purpose.

THERE was marked division between
Democrats in the Senate on the election
of United States Senator. One lot pro-
posed to filibuster in order to defeat an
election another wing believing that the
law imposed on them duty rising supe-
rior to partisan demands, and these voted
to go on with the election. These men
had true conception Of duty, while, we
must be pardoned for saying, the views of
the first mentioned did not rise to the level
of statecraft but sank to the lowest ebb of
party tide.

It is useless to call the election of United
