Why Hoods Wins.

President Lincoln said: "You can
not fool the people a second time. !"
They are too quick to recognize real
merit or lack of it, and cling only
to those things which they find to be
what is claimed for them.
1t is especially gratifying that the
sale of Hoods Sarsaparilla increases
most rapidly in those sections where
it is best known.
The inference is plain. Hoods sar-
saparilla has proven that it possesses
genuine merit. 1t maintains high
standard, which others cannot even
1t is the peoples favorite
blood-purifying and building up medi-
cine, and is more popular this year
year than ever before. All this be-
cause HOODS CURES.

There is more catarrh in this Sec
tiOn of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be uncura-
ole. For great many years doctors
pronounced it local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure by local treat
ment pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a cOnstitu-
tioDal disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by +. j.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio. is the
only constitutional cure on the
market. 1t is taken internally in
doses from 10 drops to teaspoonful.

The town of Beauford, at it's last
town meeting, voted tax to pay off
their railroad bonds of $500 due the

to the light wheat crop and the low
price of that article, it is causing
some squirming among Beaufort farm

RELATING TO THE INSANE.

MANKATO, Mimi, Feb. 9th, 1894.
MR.. EDITOR:-l see by the action of
the trustees Of the state hospitals for
insane on the 7th inst, and by the
attorney general submitted to them,
that all persons now in said hospital S
who were committed there under and
by virtue of the law of 1893 are illegal
ly detained therein: And wherein they
also instruct the superintendents of
said hospitals to turn at large among
hundred lunatics.
1t is also recommended bV the same
authorities, that they be re-commit-
ted under the old law.
1t seems to me, that by adopting
the last suggestion, matters will be
in much worse condition than at
present. If the parties are illegally
detained under the present law, now
will they be detained. when commit
ted under no law, for by sec, So of the
law of 1893, sail acts and part of acts
inconsistent with the provisions of
this act, are hereby repealed"
In my opinion if persons cannot be
committed to said hospitals under the
present law, then there is no power in
this state, or in any of the courts of
this state to commit patients oany of
said hospitals.
| never considered the law good as
to the form of examination prOvid-
ed, and never adopted it in any of the
commitments made by me. In all
cases, / required the examining ply
siCianS to appear at my office the
same as l did under the old law. l
al % had the county attorney present
in every case, and | am satisfied tina
the investigation made in each case,
was, if possible more searching and
thorough than ever under the old law,
as l think all parties taking part
therein will testify to such being
the fact.
ALI commitments made by me GER
tify the facts therein as above stated,
and / doubt if there is court in this
state, who would discharge one of the
persons committed by me, if brought
before it on a writ of habeaS-cOrpus.
Notwithstanding the opinion of the
attorney general [ shall continue to
act under the present law, in cases
coming before me, in the same man
ner as l have heretofore, as | consider
it to be the only law in this state, by
which persons can in any manner be
committed to the insane hospitals.
The matter has assumed very
serious aspect, and l deem it the duty
of the courts to overlook technicali-
ties, and to make all examinations as
perfect and full as possible under the
law as we have it, setting forth such
facts in their commitments.
If this is done, there can be no per-
son wrongfully or illegally committed.

REvERsES THE SUPRElE COURT.

Judge Torrey's letter upon the lu-
macy law, published yesterday, is Gre
ating considerable comment among
the attorneys. Many of them take is
sue with him on some points of law.
In the first place Judge TORY assumes
that the declaration of the Supreme
court that the new law is unconStitu-
tional leaves the state without any
law relating to commitments. Sec.
So of the new law says that "all acts
and parts of acts Inconsistent with
the provisions of this act, are hereby
repealed" 1t is potent that if the
new law is declared null and void,
there is nothing Inconsistent" with
the old law on this point, and that
the old law is still in force. This is
the ruling of the Supreme court in
similar cases.
Judge Torrey says that he never
considered the new law good and
never adopted 1T in any of the COM
mitments made by him. While this
might easily have been an.unwarrant-
ed assumption and while it was his
duty to have obeyed the new law IN
til it was declared unconstitutional,
it is probable that ,Mr. Torrey did
the best.thipg, as his action served to
throw more safe guards about the eX-
animation and commitment Of luna
tics.
In conclusion, Judge Torrey states
that notwithstanding the opinion Of
the attorney general he will continue
to act under the present law in cases
coming before him in the same man
ner as he has done heretofore, as he
considered it the only law in the state
by which persons can in any manner
be committed to the insane hospitals"
The Supreme court ruled upon the
constitutionality of the law, and the
opinion of the attorney general had
no reference to commitments to be
made hereafter. In Obeying the old
law row, Mr.. Torrey is simply doing
his duty according to law, and is
doing nothing opposed to the opinion
of tn attorney general.
1t has been left for our Judge of
Probate to define the statutes accord
ing to his own Interpretation In
other words, the Supreme court be
d-n. Sic 'em Judge; We'll bank on
your knowledge of law against all the
courts in ChristendOm.

form numerous other duties requiring
