TIE CHARGE.


Judge Robinson had not been to
Halifax before and his charge was lis
tened to with close attention. Il was
a most unique charge and contained
many happy and impressive hits. In
discussing the work Of courts and the
influence of faithful grand juries, Judge
Robinson said. "There is no thought

knows that our condition as a people IS
incalculably better than that Of our
forefathers." He scored the pesslmists

the violation Of the liquor law. lie
said that the statute concerning the de
bauchlng OF young men by liquor deal
ers who will sell OF give liquor to mi
nors, is OF far more importance than
the statutes that relate to property

On the law against cruelty to animals
he was particularly pronounced. lie

Not Fresh, But Fresh Enough.

The Wheeling Register has Just
come upon the item of news that Col.
Z. l.. Smith, of Marion, will be can
didate for the nomination for Gov
ernor, before the Democratic conven
ton, with Avery strong support.
1t may be fresh news item to say
that Col Smith will be candidate
for the nomination; but the fact is
several months old that very large
proportion of the Democracy had
picked him out as favorte to lead
the hosts in the coming campaign.
This sentiment has continued to
grow and make itself felt without
Col. Smiths agency or assent until
he has yielded to the solicitations of
his friends and put himself in their
hands. And when the convention
meets the surprising part of this
news item will probably be the mum
erosity" of his friends.
All this for the benefit of the es
teemed Register, which has been so
busy with the interests of its favor
ties in the southern part of the state
that it has failed to observe what is
going on at home.
