Folly of circumstantial Evidence.

Folly of Circumstantial Evidence.
The laws Of most states of the Un-
ion permit convictions for heinous
crimes upon circumstantial evidence.
Men are even convicted Of murder aud
hung upon circumstantial evidence.
This is barbarism, pure and unadul-
terated
Occasionally instances prove the
great injustice of this foolish law. At
Detroit, Mich, few days since, Otto
Schulters, young man in the last
stages of consumption, swore he had
killed William Knack, crime for
which his uncle, George Bossenberger,
had been convicted and sentenced to
prison for life. A new trial was grant
ed on the affidavit Of Schulters. The
dying man was unable 10 walk, and sat
propped in chair with pillows. Two
physicians stood by administering
st1mulants. Schulters was kept on
the stand for one hour and half by
the prosecution. When released he
wss in a state Of profound collapse,
The murder was the result 'of q
neighborhood row year ago. Bos-
senberger will undoubtedly be ac-
quilted.

Our Prosecuting Attorney.

-Arkadelphia Siftings,
The following well-deserved COM
pliment to j. M. Carter, our present
prosecuting attorney, we clip from the
Washington Telegraph, and would
say that his success in the Hampstead
Circuit court is only equaled by the
record he made here during our last
term of court. Jacob Carter is a
Clark county lad, and a graduate of
our Ouachita College, and we have
every reason to be proud of him and
hopeful of his future career
That young man Carter ifrhe goes on
improving with age and experience, will
become a terror TO evil does and law break
ers. He has already developed into a
forcelul and successful prosecutor Thir-
teen convictions ont OF seventeen cases
and two of them without leg or crutch
to stand on-iS a splendid record for his
first terms work in Hampstead county
He studies his ground carefully, comes be-
fore the court well prepared, pumps wit
ness with skill, is quick to take advantage
of a point, watches his adversary like a
hawk, parties his attacks with deXterity,
and presents the evidence to the jury
adroitly, logically and convncingly, He
is fluent of speech, at times rising to the
heights of eloquence without being YER
bose or timid. He has sefpoise without
selfesteem, selfcon6dence without selfas-
sertion, and is aggressive without being
offensive.
Texarkana now lays claim to Mr..
Carter, and it is with pride we repro
duce the high encomiums paid him
above by the Telegraph and Slftings.
He also made good record in the last
Miller Circuit court of which we have
spoken heretofore. Mr.. Carter is one
of our most worthy young gentlemen,
and we, too, expect to see him to earn
an honorable position in his chosen
profession, the law.

MIXED DRINKS:

Say" said an imported bartender,
the other night, to Buffalo Express
man, what kind of town is this,
anyhow? Are the men of Buffalo crazy
or are they simply trying to knock
themselves out as, soon as possible?
I've tended bar in pretty nearly every
big city in this country, but Buffalo
beats me. I have neverseen such hair
raising, mania-producing drinks used
anywhere as am obliged to hand out
over this bar every day. Nearly every
mar drinks mixed drinks, and most
men have a mixture of their own. I've
got TO such state now that,if a man
should come to me and say: Mix mo a
little tomato catsup and champagne
I would mix it without lifting an eye

sherry and Rhine wine mixed.

men of this town make me tired. They
don't know how to drink-that' is to
say, good portion of them. First day
l was here laptern-javved young fell

ginger ale and port wine. l looked
over at him and listened. He said: L
want little ginger ale and port wine
and I want it mixed and l want it
quick. See?' 1 saw and handed il. out.
Then another fellow came in and asked
for some Tom gin and a dash of hard
cider. Say, 1 came near falling through
the floor. l mixed it, though, and be-
fore had finished making change n
big, strapping fellow, with Vandylle
beard, called for absinthe and milk,
and another man wanted whisky and
creme de menthe blended. l began to
tumble tothe fact that was up against
a queer game, and mixed what was
asked for without a question. III was

n fellow came in and played the mixed
business to the limit. Half an hour
ago a consuInptive-loolzing little cuss
waltzed in and said: Say, bar-boy, L

A lawyer in this city who has been
counting pretty Louisville girl for
long time has always lacked sufficient
nerve to- propose, says the Louisville
Times. The girl has helped him along
as much as she could but the proposal
still hangs fire, and it looks as; if he
would have to resort to the Miles
Standish style of courtship unless he
does better. Even hint as broad as

effect upon him, as, the following Incl

not, at least he has not found it SO,
and she playfully remarked that she
would like to begin reading law at

Nnrns and tho Tariff

It is believed that the manufacturers
will insist on an important and signia'
cant stipulation in making the next iron
and steel wage scale, The understands
ing is that the manufacturers will res
quire that the scale shall slide down
wards with any revision Of the duties on
their products,
The Democrats are committed to re-
duced duties. II they stand by their
declarations duties will come down to
revenue basis. The question would
then be presented, shall the United
States drop out OF the business or try
to hold it down in tho face OF the
keener foreign competition?
Manufacturers think the wage'earners
will readily perceive that the only way
to keep their business moving, would
be to get down nearer to the foreign
wage.level, Having in mindthethreat-
ened reduction of duties. the employers
are not willing to tie themselves up in
a wage contract impossible to perform.
This is putting forward tariff revision
in a coldly practical light. II does not
sound at all like Democratic stump
speech in campaign time.

Tho West Virginia Strain.

1t isrepresented-perhaps incorrectly
that the West Virginia statesmen in
Washington are worried. They have
backed Mr.. Miller for all they arc worth
and waited for the President TO say he
will or he won't.
They are said to have rested comfort
ably and conldlngly in the executive
promise that il itwere found impossible
to make Mr.. Miller commissioner of in
ternal revenue the delegation would be
notified in time to sail in for something
else large and juicoy.
Thus far they have advanced, and
still the oracles are dumb. No word
comes from the white house. The fight
is still on and West Virginia continues
to back her man. The good things are
going, will soon be gone. 1t may be
that Mr.. Miller will DO gone, and with
him the opportunity to work in some.
body else for desirable job.
This state OF affairs would worry any.
body who has at heart tho welfare OF
his country and reasonable share of
the good things going. Ii the Prosi-
dent can be brought to understand tho
strain Of the situation he may be glad
to relieve it without the misery OF
further delay.
