THE CAPITAL JOURNAL.
Lawyer and Editor.


Queer world this! a lawyer and
an editor stood on street corner in
an Ohio town and saw man mur-
dered in cold blood. The murderer
is rich man, ard after committing
the deed he said to the lawyer and
editor: "Here is a thousand dollars
for each of you, defend me before
the court and the people for the
crime / have committed" They
took the money and defended him
in their own way aud according to
their own Professionalism through
his paper and the lawyer through
his mouth. The murderer through
their joint efforts was acquitted.
But see the difference-mark the re.
suit. The people said; "rhe editor
is scoundrel, and did so for pay.
10! we will stop his paper and not
pltronize him." The paper was
stopped-the editor ruined finan-
cia,ly and reduced to II pauper.
But of the lawyer the people said:
"He is an able mau, deeply learned
in the law, and deserves ereat credit
for having obtained the acquittal of
a man guilty of murder. We will
give him our law business and pay
big fees" They made him judge
and as such he sent his partner, the
editor, to the work-house, and said
he was a bad man, and should not
only be deprived of the means of
living. but punished.
We don't indorse the act Of an edi- |
tor in laboriug for what is wrong
or against what is right for money
but how about the lawyer?-Leav-
enworth Times.

DEAFNESS Can't Be Cured

By l ocal applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucus lining of the eustachian tube.
When this tube gets infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, (which is nothing but an infiamed
condition of the mucus surfaces.
