LAWYERS.

The true lawyer is far more absorbed
in his case than if il was his personal
business, and he feels that sacred trust
has been put in the keeping of his integ
rity, ability and Judgment. He is never
caught unprepared he asks no favors
because of his own negligence he has
50 mastered the law and the facts that
he knows the real issue, and his enthus
iasm and partisan ardor impress with
their earnestuess and lucidity courts and
juries. He rather prevents than encour-
ages litigation, and finds in the end that
his own best interests are promoted
thereby. Attorneys who add fuel to the
feuds OF the neigbborhood, seek technic-
al flaws in titles to compel settlements
and secure peace, and hunt for skeletons
in the closets of the living and the dead.

THE CIDER LAW,
Brings Home to Farmers the Workings of
Prohibition in This State.

Brings Home to Farmers the Workings oi
Prohibition in This State.
The cider law passed by the last legis-
lature is being enforced in this vicinity
and is the occasion of much hard criti-
cism, -Four or five people were fined at
the recent term ofcourt for selling cider
all of them pleading guilty and the fine
iD every ,csselbut one being $50 and costs,
and one case 5000 and costs. The sellers
were in nearly every instance farmers
and claimed that they had done very
little If any selling, one protesting that
he had not sold drop, but had given
away cider. only on one occasion.
Whether they deserve 80 seTere pun
ishment or not the fact remains that
many people sympathize with them,
who have not heretofore opposed the
prohibitory law. They say we have come
to pretty state of things when a man
cannot sell or give away a glass of cider,
made from the innocent apple, grown
on every farm and source of consider
able revenue to many of thefarmers in Il G
state. 1t brings the question home tU
them as it has never been brought before
and will no doubt seriously weaken the
hold prohibition has in this state.
1t is true that fermented cider is intoxi.
eating; but the old law forbade its sale
at places of public resort and to all per-
sons known to be habitual drunkards.
Under the old law the worst feature of
cider drinking could be prevented, while
the honest use of cider was not restrict
ed.
In temperance, as well as other re-
forms, it is not best to go too fast. Such
laws cannot be effective withouta strong
public sentiment in their favor, and any
action that will be likely 10 seriously
weaken public sentiment can but be det-
rimental to the reform itself, This is
not the sentimental view of it but we
believe it is the common sense view Of
it,
Some people confidently believe that
our next Legislature will pass high Ii
cense law. They bsee their hopes on the
opposition the cider law has raised, and
also the more stringent enforcement of
the prohibitory law in other directions.
The law is on trial as it has never been
before. Both friends and foes of the law
are anxiOusly Watching the result. In
other states the tide seems to be turning
in favor of high license. 1t is said that
real reforms never go backwards. This
saying is not strictly true, If it were pro-
hlbitionists would have reason to des-
pair. Prohibitonists who will accept
absolute and total prohibition and op-
pose a restriction short of that have rea-
son to despair; but we believe that hon
est temperance people who will accept
what they can get and make good use
of it when they get it are still in the ma
jority.-Herdld Summary from Mdn-
chester Journal.

EPOCH.

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life ofthe individ-
ual. Such remarkable event is treas
ured in the memory and the agency
whereby the good health has been at
tained is gratefully blessed. Hence it is
that so much is heard in praise of Elec-
trio Bitters. So many feel they owe
their restoration to health to the use of
the Great Alternative and Tonic. If you
are troubled with any disease Of Kid
neys, Liver or Stomach, of long or short
standing you will surely find relief by
use of Electric Bitters. Sold at SOC. and
