Juries and Judges.

'T arl not a firm believer in juries," !" said a
young lawyer, who doesn't want his name
mentio ned because he is afraid the intelligent
jury might try to get back at him. II don't
believe we would miss them very much. If
a criminal is guilty he would prefer to be
tried By jury, as there is greater chance
Of escape if he has a shrewd lawyer than If a
judge clone were to act upon his case. On
the other hand, If a man is innocent he would
rather have judge investigate his case, as
he kno VS. that he will be moro likely to escape
when clear head, with lots Of experience, is
to decile as to his innocence or guilt. Every
one knows that jury is apt to be influenced
by pre- ejudice or sympathy, while a judge
looks at the evidence alone. How many of
the damage suits against corporations and
breach of promise actions would be successful
were il not for the intelligent juryr'-St.

CHEEKY Worda

From q gentleman of Texas to his own
people, and all others over the country.
Hear what he says:
have been a practical druggist in
Tyler for number of years, and in that
time have had occasion to examine. try,
and notice the effect of nearly all the
highly recommended preparations or pat
ent medicines on the market, and as l
have suffered untold misery myself, the
past number of years, from severe form
of inflammatory rheumatism, and could
find nothing to cure or relieve me. l had
almost drawn conclusion that all pat
ent medicines were more or less frauds
until about one year ago. l was in
duced ty friend now living in Tyler, to
try preparation known as B. or Bo-
tanic Blood Balm. and after long per-
suasion on his part. l finally made up
my mind to make one more effort to rid
myself of the terrible affection; and it
now affords me the greatest pleasure of
my life to state to the citizens of Smith
county that am entirely cured, with no
traces of the disease left, and all effected
by the magic healing properties of B. B.
B., which consider the grandest, purest
and most powerful blood remedy known
to man. have been subject to in>
f1ammatory attacks since ten years of
age, and up to the present time have had
four. The last spell came on me in
November, 1885, over year
ago. at which time was
confined to my bed for eight weeks, pass
ing the nights IN misery, with no sleep
| except when produced by narcotics and
various opiates. The week previous to
! using B. B. B. up to that time had only
| eaten six meals, and could scarlely sit up
without support; but after using three
| bottles was able to relish my meals and
| to walk up town, and after six bottles
had been used. thank heaven, 1 was en-
tirely cured. and not the slightest pain
felt since that time. When | returned to
business in February, my weight was 145
pounds. but gradually increased until my
regular weight was again attained. 21O
pounds. The noticeable fact in what /
have so cheerfully stated is, that this uh-
psralleled and remarkable discovery, B.
B. B. cured me in mid winter, at the
very time my sufferings and misery were
the greatest. take it on myself as a
| practical druggist to heartily, cheerfully.
as well as conscientIously, recommend
this glorious blood remedy to all sufferers
of rheumatism or blood troubles, and not
only myself, but the firm OF Mckay &
Adams, who handle it, will cheerfully in
dorse its superior merits.

The great day has come and gone, new pres-
dent has been inaugurated, and the Republican
party triumphantly announces that they are once
more engaged in business at the old stand. The
cabinet has been selected and all uncertain minds
are therefore at rest. Triumphal arches, banners,
bunting and bands of music were the order of the
day in Washington City. Patriotic Republicans
bration, while the Democrats mustered the signal
service and Mother Nature to their ranks. Nature
and the marble and bronze heroes of the nation
wept with them; the bunting and mounted ban
ners looked sad in spite of the general rejoicing,
and an o'ershadowing fate created a flaw in the
manipulation of the gigantic floral ball that was to
shower floods of flowers and focks of canaries
upon the new head of the nation. However much
the devices of nature or man may have worked in
sympathy with the retiring democrats, yet nothing
could overshadow the trumphal entry of the new
incumbent of national honors, and in all hearts is
a silent prayer that the next four years may bring
prosperity unalloyed to this grandest of all nations
of the earth.

Mid glorious crimson bars alight,
With its dying CLEANS richly bright:

And ringing in ears of the little one pressed

Flashed quickly with fervor unsurpassed,
Through the mind of her who sang-"There is resl"
cover the stars is our restp-She paused
And the laughter of childish glee
Burst full and loud, and the welkin rang
With the happy songs her children sang

And lighted the hall ways somber gloom

and publishes statement that there were 5000
votes cast upon fraudulent registration papers
The statement affrms that hundreds were voted
from domiciles where no such persons had ever
lived other hundreds were registered from vacant
lots where no domicie has ever existed, while still
other hundred were registered and voted who had
been domiciled in the various cemeteries for years
past, and must have materalized for the especial
purpose of carrying out the dictates of their
former parties to vote early, often and late. Being
dead, they yetspeak, and help to shape the destiny
of the nation, where the voice of real live woman
goes for naught, and has never been heard in the
halls of legislation. Oh man, that is born of
woman, thou ar indeed most wonderful creation,
when thy dry and musty bones are of greater
worth than flesh and blood woman, even though
that woman may have been mother to dozen
men.
WoMAN's resources are great-her ingenuity and
natural aptness in conforming to circumstances
have helped her over many rough road, and out
of many hollow on to dry ground. Woman's
sphere is the home; it takes woman to make a
home; the man who can make home is a rarity
among his kind; yet just now there is howl 60
ing up that advancement Of women, higher educa-
sion raises her shove heraastuln sphere, ,that of,
motherhood.
The women of the world who would seek any
other sphere than that of the cared for and pro-
tected wife, are as great an exception as the man
who could keep house satisfactorily to himself.
However, the disinclnation to marry on the part
of men is ysibly on the increase. This fact,
added to the one that there are so many more
women in the world than men, has thrown women
upon their own resources. If she is not called
upon to fill her position in the world as wife and
mother, she will do the next best thing-be as use
full and intelligent a member of society as it is
possible for her to be through her own exertions.
That is very beautiful sentiment, which settles
the matter by saying every woman should stay at
home, or have man to protect and support her,
but as the supply of women appears to be so much
greater than the demand, the only solution to the
problem would seem to be the one in vogue in
Utah.
The man with the ideas about woman's sphere,
who bubbles over with sentimentality about the
chivarous system of man bearing the burden and
heat of the day for the sake of lovely woman, is
usually an old bachelor who doesn't even do in
ever so trihing way, his part by caring for any
living thing on earth but himself.
The March number of the Chautauquan says of
women that while in other centuries, occasionally,
a woman has merited praise for literary work. that
in this, the nineteenth, among the names to be
transmitted to the ages to come, "as those of our
BEST" perhaps the names of women will be found
as numerous and conspicuous as those of men,

This article also says there is no longer any
doubt as TO woman's literary capacity. That fifty
years ago women had no part to perform in the
literary world, authorship being looked upon at
that time as the business of men, but now, the
competitors in the book and periodical market are
so largely women that an actual count is necessary
to determine whether they are not in the majority
In connection with this subject it notes the open
ing of the doors of learning to woman, and Says
chat her entrance into the intellectual domain is
just beginning to produce its effect. One point
more in the article attracts our attention, and we
quote
