Reader, did you ever take SIMMONS

LIVER MEDICINES 2" Everybody needs
take a liver remedy. 1t is sluggish or
diseased liver that impairs digestion
and causes constipation, when the waste
that should be carried off remains in
the body and poisons the whole system.
That dull, heavy feeling is due to
torpid liver. Biliousness, Headache,
Malaria and Indigestion are all liver
diseases. Keep the liver active by an
occasional dose of Simmons Liver Reg
ulator and you'll get rid of these trou-
bles, and give tone to the whole sys-

THE SITUATION IN TuE EAST.

as too insignificant to be thought Of Tor
a moment as a possible rival TO Russia.
even though she should have had the
temerity 10 consider her interests as OPP
posed to those of the Car. But things are
all changed now. Japan has proved In
her war with China. that She is power
TO be reckoned with. and though her easy
triumph over the Chinese has no doubt
filled her with exaggerated notions OF what
she can do-notiOns that she will prob
ably be very rudcly forced TO modify

power-she is nevertheless at this time

THE CONVICTED WOMEN.

The circumstances connected with the
conviction OF the two negro women IN
Iunenburc county for the murder or
Mrs. Pollard arc sue as to arouse serious
apprehenslon that Innocent parties may
have been made the victims Of popular
idirnation and clam Or. The people want
Mrs. Ponard's murdorers executed. but
they do not want persons executed TOT
the murder who have had no connection
with it,.
Ali the surroundings Of the case are
inconsistent with that judicial dellnera-
ton which Is absolutely essential TO an
impartial Investigation. The fact that the
prisoners and court " ere surrounded dur
ing the trial by the military to protect the
prisoners from mob violence. tho fact that
the accused-ignorant and helpless negro
womcn-wero tried wi -hout counsel, the
fact that the pOpulace was excited TO
frenzy. and that violence was in the air
and intimidation all around for whoever
might say a word for the accused-ah
these things. when added 10 the utterly
snspicious character Of the evidence on
which the women were convicted. makes
an impartiai man shudd er at the prospect
that VIC may be about 10 perpetraie Il
fearful crime ourselves in taking the
lives Of these women.
We are informed that some time back
Judge Hancock was asked to change 'ne
place Of trial for negro who was guard

-he mob. and that he said at once no ar
eament in support of the motion was Ne
cessarv. as the mere presence of the mil
itarv rnder such circumstances was in
consistent with all idea of fair trial
We confess TO inability 10 suggest what
course should be pursued in this matter
but this we can say. without the shsht-
est dificuity-the Governor should not al
low these women to be executed as the
matter stands now.
In regard to the prisoners being with
out counsel, we do not know VINO the
LAWYERS OF Lunenburg Courthouse are OF
which Of them were properly available Tor
the defence of the prisoners, but, as the
case arrears. it is in melancholy contrast
with the courage and sense Of justice
that has always been the glory of the
profession OF law. that no lawyer was
found to represent prisoners, however
black their color. who pleaded In lorna
