PERJURY.

How, even in a trial by jury, justice may
miscarry and the innocent be punished
for the guilty, is strikiDgly illustrated by
the sensational dcnouement of the LANCER
man case in New York. Upon the testi-
mony of an apparently guiieiess girl,
thai HE prisoner in the dock had done
her Erievous wrong, the man was con-
victed and brought up for sentence. Then
the Judge who, by an extra judicial pro-
ceeding had secured from the girl n con-
fessioD that she had perjured hers elf
and the man WIS not guilty OF the par
ticular crime for which he was convicted,
set the accused free, and Barbara Aub
will have to stand trial for the grave
offense of perjury.
If this man had suffered punishment for
an offense of which he had not been guilty,
it would have been poetic justice, for his
character was vile and brutal and he had
broken the heart and marred the life of
many a Poor girl. But the fact that he
narrowly escaped a long term OF imprison-
ment, though not guilty of the particular
offense with WHICH he stood charged, shows
may commit grave and, under circum-
stances, irretrievabie errors. Suppose this
to be case in which jury had found
the accused guilty OF a crime the penalty
for which was death and sentence had
been pronounced and executed, con-
template the harm which would have been
done to the very cause|of Justice itself.
1t may be said, and truthfully, too, that
no contrivance of human ingenuity or
thought is perfect, but for that very rea-
SOD the creates: possible safeguards ought
to be thrown about the work of courts
and juries. Special care should be taken
to guard against the machination of the
perjurer, of which, unfortunately, there
is only too much in our courts. Against
deliberate and sometimes skilfully con-
trived perjury, even the most inno-
cent person and the most perfect char
acter cannot prevail, and scrutiny of evil
dence can hardly be too close.

Lead Pencil Timber,

A carload of redwood for use in making
lead pencils was shipped from Sanger, Cal

A SURE BAROMETER.
The Circulation of The Times and
What 1t Means.


Circulation is the barometer indicating
the favor in which a daily newspaper is
held by community, and is also testi-
monIal to the correctness OF its policy and
the soundness uf the theories 1t advocates
That The Times has met with the full
Endorsement of the Washington public,
its sworn circulation statements for the
mouth ending Saturday, November 80,
gives ample evidence. In this connection
the interesting fact is established that the
daily editions of The Times are read by
about 20 per cent more people than any
other daily paper published iu the District
of Columbia.
The Times Is proud Of It's record and will
continue to endeavor to merit the approval
OF the people of the District.

RECEIVER AS BAD AS SENDER.

EECEiN EN- AS BAD AS Sen DEh.
There is no doubt whatever that the
bill introduced yesterday by Senator Villas
relative to sending obscene matter by ex-
press, cannot become a law any too soon.
II strikes at one of the chief elements of the
evil-the receiver OF the Objectionable
stuff He is Just as guilty as the sender
and his punishment should not be less
severe.
or all the means by which the youth of the
country are corrupted and their minds
poisoned. none is so banefully effective
as obscene literature and pictures. Both
assume variety of forms and there are, of
course, gradations of vileness. but Condem-
nation should and must be visited upon
them all. In some stages the obscenity is so
gross as to be disgusting: in others, how
ever, it Is In u measure insinuatinE, es-
pecially to the young and inexperienced.
whose Imagination 1t influences and in
whom 1t arouses any dormant tendency to
immortality.
The individual who purchases such stuff
and takes it from the express company
its transportation through the mails being
already prohibited gives prima facie
evidence of his willingness to disseminate
it and to become an agent in debauching
the youthful mind or catering to the ba Sc
inclinatio of adults. As such Il is lnfanly
is as deep as is that OF the manufa cturer
and sender of the stuff. and he ought TO be
held as strictly responsible. He Is danger
GUS element in the community. and his
elimination from it via the courts and the
penitentiary is desirable from whatever
point of view the case may be looked at.

success. Manager Allen has set an exam
pie worthy of emulation in donating a

are donating books and money. Here's a

Pittsburg bankers formed "A syndicate for

SPEEGHE.S ON THE FOURTH-
 THE DIFFERENCE.
iClarksvllle. Ark., Herald. ]


 State Senator Adams and Senator Jones were here on the Fourth and each delivered an address. The speeches were devoted mainly to a discussion of the silver question, and were frst=class in every particular. To be brief, Senator Adams in a masterly way sustained the admins tration and Democratic bimetallism, which demands both metals on terms of perfect equality Senator Jones pursued pretty much the same line of thought and argument except that he ignored the Democratic de- mand for parity" and advocated free, unlimited coinage at the ratio of 16 to l.
 The difference between the distin- guished speakers, in other words, the Democracy and it's fifth wheel which is represented by free coinage Demo crats, may be summed up in a word or two: Adams and Democracy de- mand gold and silver on terms of equality; Jones and Democracy Gts fifth wheeD demand gold and silver on terms of equality if possible, il not, on any terms.

denied that. he had been caught in a house of ill fame at Clarksdale, that the Mayor of the town was Catho- lie, and then used an expression about having carried the keys of a Catholic nunnery for years, etc, which is too vulgar to print. Re garding the publication in the Gagsteer he denied that he was the person referred to, that he had brought suit against the editor for islander and found before the same came to trial that there were fifteen or twenty John w. Hicks, etc.
 Hicks also claimed to have been with Slattery at Savannah and to have been his right-hand man dur ing his troubles there, but it will be remembered by our citizens that Slattery denounced Hicks, from the stage of the Opera house in this city as a fraud and impostor, and said that he knew nothing whatever of him, except from reputation. The Conemercial-Appeal also says:
 He claims to have run for Con- gress in Texas, and to have met and vanquished Roger Q. Mills and Gov. Culberson, of Texas, in joint debate. He was itching for a joint debate with some gold bug" at h. dianola, but no one accommodated him.
 This will be something new to our readers. Hicks yanquishing Roger O. Mills in joint debatel Hicks, the foul-mouthed blatherskite and black guard, whose. vile language is dis gusting to all decent peoplel Neither Mills nor Culberson would deign to notice so cowardly a cur, and we doubt if either of the distinguished Texans ever saw or heard of him. This is simply another one of Hicks numerous claims.
 We desire to call attention, how ever, to Hicks ready adaptability. He is all things at all times. In a Populite community he is a Popu- list; in an A. P. A. community he pretends to be an A. P. A. lecturer and ex-priest, and in a free silver country he is free silverite ''itch- ing for joint debate with some goldbug." The fact, though, that to his lectures(9 he charges an ad- mission fee and after his sermons(A he takes up a collection explains if all. He finds it easier to gull the gullible than to work, and no doubt he thinks the world his oyster.
 Hicks is an adventurer and impos- tor that should not be tolerated in any community, and the people ol Mississippi would give him his just deserts in a coat of tar and feathers

DINA AMITEe(?) HICKS.

]. w. Hicks, who recently hear aided himself as Dynamite Hicks, an A, P. A. lecturer, in this com munity, is now raising sheol over in Mississippi. The Memphis Cooamer- ciol-Appeal of Sunday gives an inter esting account of the doings and acts of this impostor and scoundrel. Hicks appears to have learned noth- ing from his late experiences in this city and is still up to his same old tricks.
 It will be remembered that Hicks was arrested here and confined ln iail for several weeks on the charge of islander, bnt was afterward given his liberty on the condition that he would leave the city never to show his ugly mug here again. lie after forwards went to Stuttgart and Brinkley, and was run out Of the former place because of his vile lan- guage in the presence of ladies. It will also be remembered that while here undoubted evidence was re- ceiyed of the fact that Hicks had been an inmate of the Joliet (llDpen- itentiary, where he had served two terms, and that in the campaign of 1892 he turned up in Scott county, this State, as tramp, and being glib of tongue was taken up by the Pop ulists, given new suit of clothes and started out as F. r. lecturer. His conduct in that county, which came near exciting several riots, was duly exposed by the GRAPHIC while Hicks was here last April. Accord ing to the Jackson, Miss, cores pondent of the Memphis Comnaercidl- Appeal, Hicks is now over in Missis- sippi making free silver speeches, de livering anti Catholic lectures(O Oand, as Baptist divine, conducting re vival meetings throughout that State.
 At Winona last Friday, several citizens who had come into posses sion of Hicks record from the Deni- son, Tex, Gozeteer, confronted him with the facts after he had concluded one of his so-called sermons, at which he was not the least abashed or discomfited, but, according tc the Commerciol- Appeal, held up his photograph to the light and said
 ssYes, this is my picture and I an proud of it. It is the picture of ; good looking fellow. He denied however, that he had ever been ; convict, and claimed the trick to b' an old one worked by the Catholic Church to destroy his influence; tha some one in Texas had secured { copy of his picture and that the nun Der had been added tos produce th' impression that he was convict He also made the point that the pic ture was in citizens clothing.
