There is more catarrh in this sec.
ton Of the country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be
incurable. For q great many years
doctors pronounced it a local dis.
ease and prescribed local remedies
and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced
it i%ncurable, Science has proven
Catarrh to be q constitutional dis
ease, and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by~F. J. Che
ney q Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market.
1t is taken Internally in doses
from 10 drops to tablespoonful. 1t

Lesson from the 1Iennery.

Mrs. Suburb-My! Such n time as I
have had todayl Every now and then
the hens would get into the garden,
and the more l tried to drive them out
the more they wouldn't go, but just
squawked and cackled and flutter,
ed and went hither and yon in every
imaginable direction but the right
onc No matter which way you try to
drive n hen, she's bound to go some
other way.
Mr.. Suburb (houghtfully)-I don't
believe ROSTERS would act like that

an affection 0 the kidneys. 1 tried
n number of remedies without any

I|t
The troubles among the miners
Of Last Tennessee grow out OF the
system of leasing convicts In vogue
IN that State. The miners dislike
TO be placed in competition with
convict labor and from the present
outlook they are resolved not TO
submit to 1t In peace.
So long as they conduct them
selves with reasonable moderation
ard yet refuse to yield an Inch of
the bold ground they have taken,
the ADyERTIsER sympathizes with
them and wishes that it were able
to afford them substantial encOur-
agement.
The miners have "under holt" on
the only principle involved and It
is n worth a long and tight grip.
The State is the owner of a def.
mite amount of convict labor. 1t
puts 1t on the market at q lower
price than free labor commands.
The State is able to do SO only be-
cause 1T is a powerful corporation,
can get along on small profits and
does not pretend that money MAX
ing is its legitimate end. But when
the State becomes a hirer it be-
comes a SPECTATOR; and by reduc-
ing the miners wages, interferes
directly with his private rights.
When citizens are punished for
crime, it is to preserve the public
peace, the Suites majesty and dig
nlty, and it is not of the genius of
imprisonment as q form of punish
ment that it should be subverted
10 system of remuneratiye
slavery.
In order to secure the rights of
all the people, some must be de-
prived Of liberty and it devolves
upon all to contribute to the sup
port of those who become examples.
But when the State puts convicts
to work accumulating money, Grip
pling the earning power of a spec
ial class of citizens, it simply i'm
poses an indirect tax upon such
class for their support.
The States ability to furnish la
Dor to employers at rates unnatu-
rally low is an incident of its state
hood-an individual could not do
it.
1t will be said that the miners
should observe the law and seek
redress through the usual channels,
but it must be remembered that in
Tennessee they are in a desperate
minority. 1t is only by twitching
the public ear that they hope to
get the public attention. Nor is ii
for them "the applause of listening
Senates to command" by silver
tongued oratory, and the eloquence
of action is their last resort.

The Seventh Circuit has a solic-
itor, who always shows great abiI-
ity in the performance of duties
as a prosecuting officer and it takes
an able lawyer to successfully cope
with him. Observing this in
canneetion with the fact that in a
population like ours many accused
persons are too poor to employ a
lawyer at all, we are forced to con-
clude that there should be q public

and Trial justices ire not required
t. hand over their books to the
grand jury. The General Statutes,
Sec. S52, requires that solicitors in

The solicitor should appoint a day

The solicitor is competent and in
this way justice would be eXpe-

there is anything wrong suspected,
the grand jury should call it to the
