DEMURRER TO THE ARCHER IN.
DTCTMENT SUSTAINED.

In the Criminal Court of Baltimore city
on Tuesday last Judge Stewart sustained the
demurrer to the indictment against Steven.
! son Archer for enibezzement in office. In
giving his opinion, Judge Stewart said
"There was but one point to be considered,
and he did not see how Mr.. Archer could
embezzle money from himself don't see
l can construe the language of the statute
to cover this case and must sustain the de-
murrer." The case will now go to the Court
of Appeals, an appeal having been noted q,
and it is thought that decision can be had
at the June Term. The case was ably ar
gued by Messrs. Bernard Carter and Edgar
Cans in favor of the demurrer and by At.
torney General VIM. Pinkney Whyte and
States Attorney Charles G. Kerr in opposi-
ton.
There yet remains two indictments again st
Mr.. Archer to be tried-one for embezzle-
ment, based on section 70, the one just tried
being on section 80 of article 81; and one
under an indictment for malfeasance found
by the Grand Jury OF Anne Arundel county.
Malfeasance is wrong doing in office and
the penalty is fine and imprisonment in the
county Jail or House of Correction

THE HOAR ELECTION BILL.

The subjeined extract, taken from one Of
our exchanges and credited to the Neao
York Times, which, in discussing the bill of
Senator Hoar, says:
what does he propose, with the sanction
OF the majority OF his committee? Some
thing which ought not to be done, if it
could be, and which we are firmly persuad.
ed cannot be done without ultimate conse.
quences the reverse OF what he seeks He
proposes, in short, to turn over the direction
OF the entire machinery of elections, as pro.
vided by the States, TO the federal judiciary
Of the various circuits The Judges are TO
be required TO take into their hands the
delicate and difficult task of selecting and
appointing election officers; they are to re-
tain these officers under their immediate
control during the proceedings attending
an election, and ii the case requires-that is
TO say, if disputes arise-they are to review
the entire election and practically perform
the functions of a returning board coupled
with those OF court
This, we repeat, is something that ought
not TO be done, if it could be done. II i'm.
poses upon the judiciary duties which can
not be performed by ordinary judicial meth.

making grave errors, no matter how honest
and faithful he may be; which must entan-
gle the judiciary in partisan passions, and
completely destroy the confidence Of the
public in its impartiality, however solici.
tious it may really be to preserve impartial.
ity."
The distinctive feature of our scheme of
government is not the universally of the
suffrage, which many other nations share
with us; not our parliamentary system,
which does not differ radically from that in
operation in several other countries; not
the veto power of the executive, but the
position of the judiciary This is the only
government under the sun of which the
judiciary is one of the co ordinate branches,
the only one in which the courts possess
the power of destroying the acts of the leg
islative department because of their incon.
sistency with the organic law. Our Supreme
Court is an absolutely unique institution,
without precedent or parallel in any other |
system of government, ancient or modern, |
and has received more attention and elected |
more comment from foreign students of our
constitution than all Of its other features |
combined. The inferior federal courts are es-

"The recent exhibition in Baltimore city
of double primaries and double conven.
tons in every one of the wards and legis-
lative districts Of the city was striking
evidence OF how little interest certain OF
the city managers and ward bosses have in
the future success of the party at general
elections. At the close of the first year of
the Republican administration they inau-
gurate bitter factional struggle to secure
control of the local party organization,
looking already to the machinery through
which the next delegation to national con-
vention is to be chosen"
The above is the opinion of our sincere
Republican friend, the Frederick Erans'ner
and is shameful admission that the interest
for the good Of the people in matters OF State
manifested by the Republican party is q
pretense and sham.

A Republican Critic on the Tariff Bill.

Representative Butterworth, of Ohio, on
Tuesday last, made speech in criticism OF
the pending tariff bill that must have caus-
ed cold chills TO pervade Mr.. McKinleys
vertebra column. 81 respect" he said, "the
wisdom of the committee, but why is Paul
favored and Peter turned down.? Getting no
answer to this inquiry, he proceeded to tell
of protected industry which, by reason OF
excessive "protectlon," had paid S60, 900 900
of dividend on capital of 81 ,25O,0 900. Such
pets of protection could better be given hand
some fortunes directly out OF the treasury
than be authorized by law TO prey thus up
on the people. He could name manufac,.
turers whose profits exceeded those of all
the agriculturists in any State of the Union.
He was for equal protection. "The time
has come" he said, "when some little con-
Germ should be shown TO American homes.
There is such thing as paying too much
for an industry. Such is the case with the
proposed tin-plate industry. The proposed
duty on tin.plate will be tax on every
farmers patch, on every can of goods. II
would amount to $50,000,000 before the
| Pittsburg makers Of tin-plate can declare
their first dividend" This would have been

Sickness Among Children.

Its cause is undoubtedly to be found
in the way they are fed, and the neglect
of their medical treatment. Many moth
ers are strong in their belief of the good
state of health EFF their little ones, and
1T is only when sickness in a mild OF
strong form comes upon them that the
mother fully realizes the mistake OF her
over-confidence, and thus unwittingly
brings painful suffering to her child and
uneasiness and trouble to her own heart.
To prevent such state of affairs give
your children DR.. Winchell's Teething;
as a curative for diseases common
children, it hes no equal-a trial Of one
bottle proves it. For sale, wholesale and
retail, Lockert & Reynolds, druggists.

Street Lights for RussellvilIe.

has made a contract with the Central
Thomson-Houston Electric Light Co.
for ten arc lights Of 1000 candle
power each, ito burn all hours of
darkness" says the Herald, "at the
rate of one cent per hour for each
light" At this rate a light burned
for twelve hours thirty nights in the
month would only cost $43 20 per
annum, or So 60 per moth. If the
GAINESVILLE Electric Light Co. loses
money on twenty-eight lights at $4.00
per month burned on dark nights
until midnight, how much will the
Russellville company lose on thir-
teen (the L. & N. road taking three)
burned all night at the above rate?

found that she was a fraud. This
was on last Saturday. A description

Clarksrille Tobacco Market.


Our market continues without ma
terial change, and though prices for
really desirable tobacco seem very
high, yet there is so much inferior
stuff bringing low prices that country
dealers are not making averages on
the breaks sufficiently good to save
themselves from loss. Evidently
they have again paid too much for
loose crops, and will have to try to
make up the loss next season. Sales for
the week will run close to 400 hogs
heads, without any quotable change in
the market.
