THE oUTRAaEs of the jury system as
practiced in this country are aptly IL
lustrated by the fact that man has
just been liberated in Nebraska whose
innocence has been conclusively de-
monstrated after seventeen years OF i'm
prisonment, and whose attorney, Judge
Mason, says that in his career at the
bar he has defended ffty-two men
charged with capital crimes and of the
fifty-two the man referred to is the only
one that had been convicted. He then
added that upon his honor as man he
believed the released prisoner is the
only innocent one of the entire num-
Der. But there are men who really
believe that upon the jury system de
ponds the security of the liberty of the
people of this country.

Trough the U. S. Senate is so press
ed for time that it has to remain in ses-
sion on Sunday, it devoted two or more
DAYS last week to the consideration OF
a resolution demanding the release of @
Cuban who was imprisoned for violat-
ing the laws OF Spain, and that, too,
though some of its members knew all
the time that the papers for the liberia

made out as rapidly as possible.

THE INAUGURATION PARADE.

! The INAUGURATION PARADE.
Washington is taking on its inaugu
ration regalia. Many houses are gaily
decorated, and all the available open.
ings on the avenue, including the tri-
angular intersections, are defaced with
two-story wooden stands, where seats
can be procured on or before the 18th at
prices ranging from IS cents to So each.
| The commissioners of the District have
| allowed the inaugural committee the
most unrestricted privileges in the erec-
ton of stands. In numerous places
the view of the avenue is completely
cut of from the houses in rear of the
stands, and the property owners and
lessees of these places are deprived of
the privilege of looking at the process
sion from their own windows. In sew
eral pieces these unsightly stands at
present shut out from view great por-
ton of the statuary which embellishes
the openings adjacent to the avenue,
and which many visitors would rather
see than the parade.
The outlook for big crowd is nei
Their bright nor encouraging. AS COM
pared with previous inaugurations, the
grand parade will be failure. The
Pennsylvania and New York troops,
which formerly swelled the procession,
will not be in it this time. Where
there were thousands on former occa-
sons, there will be hundreds next
Thursday. The military organiza-
tons of Ohio, McKinley's own
State, will he very scantly represented.
No full regiment is expected, and
few companies are coming. So that the
military portion of the parade will
have to depend largely upon the United
States regulars, the marines, the Mary
land and District of Columbia soldiers,
and few companies from West Vlr-
ginia and Virginia. 1t was at one time
estimated that there would be 10000
men in the parade. Now the inaugural
committee will be glad to see half that
number in line on Thursday.
The turnout of civic organizations
from New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Maryland will be fair, and there
will be On abundance of music, as al
most every club and company will bring
its own band II the day is fine, there
will be ample crowds to witness the
quadrenDial ceremony, and many peo-
pie are congratulaing themselves that
the immense mobs and crush of people
of former times will not be repeated
this week.
Gen. Porter has appointed o. S.
Grant (third), Webb G. Hayes, Harry
A. Garfield, Chester A. Arthur and Rus
sell Harrison, all sons of former repub-
lican presidents, as special aides on his
staff.
1t is proposed to illuminate every
public building in Washington, and
from the roofs Of all the larger govern
ment departments strong search lights
are to be used, the rays of which are to
be thrown to designated points about
the city with view to artistic effect.
Orders have been issued which will
prevent interference with the parade
lines by street car service. No cars
will be run on the avenue, but it is eL-
pected that the Seventh and Ninth
street lines may cross the avenue when
the parade is not passing.

WHY is 1t.

if catarrh is a blood disease, as some claim,
that physicians frequently advise change of
air and climate to thos1 suffering? Catarih
is climatic affection, ard nothing but a local
remedy or change of climate will cure it.
Elys Cream Balm is so efficient as to do away
with the necessity of leaving home and
friends, causing instant relief and is real
cure of catarrh.

A DEATH AT A DANCE.-The gayety
of the senior german of Norfolk, while
at its height, was brought to a sudden
and tragic termination at midnight
Friday night by the death of Ex-State
Senator A. E. Herbert. While leading
his partner to his seat Mr.. Herbert sud-
denly fell to the floor. AS he had long
suffered from fainting spells, due to an
affection of the heart, nothing serious
was apprehended, but when he was re-
moved to an adjoining room it was dis
covered that life was extinct.
AS the news of the tragedy spread
among the dancers they dispersed to
their homes before the german was
quite half over, paying silent tribute
to a man who was one of the most
popular social favorites in the South.
MIR. Herbert was forty.eight years OF
age, and was unmarried. He was elect
ed to the State Senate in 1898. and
made a brilliant record in that body.
He was son of the late Edward II.
Herbert, of Princess Anne, in which
county the deceased resided on large
estate.
The remains were viewed at the
Temple, where he died, by the coroner,
who deemed an inquest unnecessary.
