Judges, like doctors, are prone to
disagree, and litigants, like patients,
suffer in consequence. A distin-
guished lawyer used to say that it
was impossible Tor the ablest of the
profession to know what the law in
any, case vas until the Court of APP
peals had q chance TO guess at 1t.
Now comes Gircuis-Judge Boyd de-
claring from the bench that "a man
who would form an opinion from
anything he reads IN the newspa-
per1is unfit for jury service. Wick
dictum Circuit Judge Morton re-
verses IN his own court, declaring
with equal emphasis that "one of
the highest qualifications for juror
is the fact that he has formed an
opinion from what he has read in
the papers, and man who is not
capable of forming an opinion is
not qualified to sit in the jury box.
1t looks very much as if the latter
decision were based upon sound
reason and the former were che off
spring of spite or prompted by
some newspaper criticism. AS in
most cases where eminent practi.
TONERS disagree, the truth generally
lies about halfway between the two
extrsmes.-Commonwealth::

II should be demanded ofteach
member of the Legislature by his
constituents that.he shall use his
influence in behalf of law to estab-
llish Bureau OF immigration. This
is the surest and quickest plan for
bringing about the most reedful
movement in connection with the
development of our State-that is,
tine immigration of foreigners; not
pauper strangers, but that class with
money enough to buy homes. The
enterprising spirit which comes
with such immigration is Invariably
impaired to thesnatives, whose pros
perity Is in Consequence greatly in
creased. Laurel, one of the poor
est counties in Kentucky, has had
her value doublebsince 1880, and
the credit is unhesitatingly given by
all to the colony of thrifty foreign
ers who settled there nine years ago.
The home people have prospered
equally as well as the foreigners.
+ Lawrence county's hills, under
nearly all of which lie undeveloped
deposits of various kinds of wealth,
would make fortunes FOR foreigners,
even though used only as grazing
lands, vineyards and orchards. To
speak plainly, our people need an
awakening by few practical exam
pies of what can be done in this part
of the country-education ID the
matter OF improving our natural ad-
yantages. A departure from the
old beaten paths OF the fathers.must
be taken in the manner of living,
and the sooner the better. 1t is no
longer considered sufficient to raise
enough corn, potatoes and hog6 to
make both ends meet from one
season to the next, and trust to
Providence for health and favora-
bic seasons. 4 surplus must be
produced FOR the foreign market.
If our hiiI-Eides are not suited tc a
production ofcereaIs why
not put them to the other uses for
which they are eminentIy adaptedg

The Owensbqro Inquirer is en-
lirely correct in the following:
THE inquirer hopes there is not
d Democrat in this collection dis
trict, or in the Union, fer that mat
ter, who has so little self-respect and
SO much greed of office as TO accept
an appointment which of right and
Justice belongs to Republican.
This is not only justice but it is
good politics, and not only good
politics but good public policy. The
only way for one party to get the
full benefit of another party's blum
ders, ond the only way for a nation
to net The full advantage OF the re-
spectivc policies of the parties, SO as
learn which.is best for the public
good. is to let the party in power
be in power all along the line. To
mix the parties in Office and divide
the responsibility for good or evil
results, confuses public judgment"

E The acquittal Of Mellow, at
Charleston, is a tsaVesty upon jus
'tice. If anything was proved upon
the trial il was that Mellow shot
Dawson from behind, Dawson be-
ing unarmed, and that having kill
ed his victim, the murderer did
his best to conceal the body. Back
of this, it appears that Dawson had
all the moral right Of the case ON
his side; that Mellow was not only
in the wrong, but in no danger OF
bodily harm, and, in short, a baser,
more cowardly assassination was
never committed. South Carolina
will suffer in reputation, and partic-

The following appears iu'thoCov-

-
ingtoh Commonwealth:
All persons selling toy pistols
will be Immediately arrested by
the police and fined according to
the ordinance. The ordinance fix-
es the fine at not less than ten nor
more than fifty dollars The police
have been notified to see that this
is strictly enforced. Those firing
chem off are also subject to fine.
This is wise proyieion, which
should prevail in every city and
town in the State. The toy pistol
is loaded with death. While it
may not do its fatal work, its pos
session by a boy leads him to desire
the more dangerous and deadly
Smith &Wesson or Bulldog, and as
soon as his means will permit he
supplements it with one of these
and becomes one o. those cowardly
creatures who walk our streets bear
ing concealed deadly weapons. we
use the word "cowardly" advisedly.
If a boy or a man be not coward
when he first puts a pistol in his
pocket, he is on the high road to
become one. and after that perhaps
a murderer. That legislator who
will devise means By which the
miserable practice OF carrying con-
cealed deadly weapons msy be
stopped viii have performed a great
er deed than he who taketh city,
and will deserve a monument at the
hands OF a grateful people.

A Dog Samaritan.

My st. Bernard, named Isla, had a
friend in dog that lived at cafe.
He met the cafe dog in his walks and
took him with him, but for more than
a year his friendship never went so
far as to invite the cafe dog, which
was pointer, into the house. One
day, to my surprise, he came from his
walk, bringing the pointer, whose
name was Antonio, in with him, pushed
his nose on to my breakfast table and
made me understand that he. wished
mo to feed his friend. On inquiry
/ found that the pointer was starving,
having been day or two before beat
en and kicked out of the cafe for
breaking some flower pots. It is GER
tain that Isla must have known of his
distress, for from thatmoment he made
Antonio ut home in his own house,

This Snake Drank Whisky.

A correspondent near Hamilton,
Marion county, sends the following:
''Mr. Owen Hatch, who keeps small
grocery store in this neighborhood,
can vouch for the truth of this. Mr..
Hatch sells liquor as well as family
groceries. Keeping only a small stock
of liquor on hand he keeps most of it
in jugs. One day last week two gal
lon jug of corn liquor was left stand
ing on the floor behind the counter.
Mr.. Hatch stepped behind the counter
and was surprised to see large black
snake cooled around the jug with its
head inside. He watched it for mo-
ment and soon discovered that the
snake was drinking liquor. 1t was not
disturbed. and after several minutes it
slowly uncoiled itself from the jug and
attempted to crawl away, but was too
drunk, and stretched itself out on the
floor where it remained apparently
asleep until next day. Mr.. Hatch
examined the jug and found that the
snake had drank more than quart of
liquor. Two days later the same
snake returned, and when it crawled
under the counter Mr.. Hatch watched
it. By coiling itself AROUND the jug
and giving its neck twist around the
stopper it was able to remove the cork,
and again thrust its head inside and
began to drink liquor 1t was allowed
to drink its fill again, after which it
was lkilled.-Birmingham (Ala.) Age.

Verbatim.

Doubtless many people who indulge
in warmth of language would be
greatly surprised if they could see q
verbatim report of their conversation.
In "Uncle Sans Medal of Honor"
the following story is told of Col.
Harvey, who, in 1889, was stationed
at Key Biscayne:
The lighthouse had been burned,
and the keepers family massacred by
the Indians, the year before, and Har-
ney one day bethought himself that
the lighthouse should be rebuilt.
"Mr. Saunders" he said to young
officer, that lighthouse ought to be
rebuilt. Whose duty is it, among
those fellows in Washington"
1.-THE secretary CT the treasury has
charge of all the lighthouses, l believe,
said Saunders.
well, write q letter to the secre-
tary, confound him, and tell him the
lighthouse ought to be rebuilt Tell
him it ought to have been rebuilt long
ago. Tell the idiot that if he will give
me the authority, will rebuild it my
self"
''But there is no stone here"
Tell the fool to send to Boston for
the stone. Have you finished? Read it.
Saunders read precisely what his SUI
perior had dictated. Not a single
syllable had been omitted. AS Horace
Greeley used to say, the letter furnish
ed mighty interesting reading" but,
sad to relate, its author did not seem
altogether pleased with it.-Youths
Companion.
