THE JUDICIAL INVESTIGATION.

The investigation of the charges
against Judges Reese and Sweat was
begun in Atlanta yesterday by Sena-
tor Carter and the legislative sub-com-
mittee. Since the original charges
were preferred by Senator Carter they
have been amplifed, and the allega-
tions against the accused judges are
now serious. Over two hundred wit
nesses have been summoned, and as the
senator who is responsible for and is
pushing the investigation and the
"culprit' judges, as they have been
termed, are not in amiable frames Of
mind toward each other the exercises
are very likely to be interesting if not
warlike before they come to close.
If indications are worth anything
the committee seems disposed to make
the investigation thorough and COM
plete. The people will not be satisfied
with anything less. If Judges Reese
and Sweat are innocent they are enti-
tied to the fullest vindication, but if
the charges against them are true the
bench should be speedily cleared of
them.

Helpless
RhGunlatiCS!

Rheumatism is no respecter of per-
sons-the healthy and vigorous are
as liable to it's attacks as the weak.
The symptoms of the disease are
almost unnoticed at first, so insidi-
ously do they steal over the body;
gradually the little pains and stiffness
increase, until they develop greater
inconvenience day by day.
The knees, ankles, and other Joints
of the body ache constantly, swell
ing to several times their natural
size; the patient finds himself unable
to get around is soon incapacitated
for business, and later is confined to
his bed, utterly helpless.
1t is great mistake to expect relief
from such condition by the app1ica-
ton of liniments and other external
remedies. The medical profession adj
NIT that the disease is in the blood,
and it is but reasonable that only
blood remedy, one purely vegetable,
and free from potash, can afford re-
lief. S. S. S. (Swift's Specifc) is an
unfai1ing remedy for Rheum atism,
and has cured the severest cases,
where other remedies failed to reach

gested, and after eighteen years of

A Love Of the olpe..ms Animate. u


A Love Of the C,uesome Animates the
The comparative seriousness OF the
Anglo-Saxon and French races Is illus
trated by their mental attitude toward
their respective instruments Of capital
execution. During the Christmas sea-
son of 1895, in Paris, little crowds
might be seen gathered on the streets
around a toy, offered there for sale,
which seemed 20 amuse them very
much. IL was n toy guillotine, in com
pletc imitation Of the real apparatus,
and it was caused by the men who were
vending II 10 decapitate a manilsin OF
lead, 70 the great delight Of the
crowds. Among the watchers OF this
proceeding was Morsieur Deiblcr, the
public executioner, who was the cen
ter of an admiring group.
The guillotine is not new toy in
France. During the reign Of terror, at
the end Of the last century, little cop
per guillotines were worn as "charms;"
and during the present century deli
cate women have, in the cities of
France, worn the same strange orna-
ments.
So far ms is known, the ADglo-Saxon
race has never converted ils gallows
into a toy. Whether or not IL Is re-
garded with positive horror, the tenn
perament OF the people does not lead
them 10 see anything amusing in IL.
IL is believed 20 have n serious purpose
in the protection Of society; but everv-
body would undoubtedly be glad TO be
rid OF IL forever, so that the people
might II possible, forget that there
was such an instrument.
This difference in the habits Of the
two peoples is n PART Of a still wider
historical difference. The northern
races have been as cruel-perhaps they
are now as cruel-as the races of the
south Of Europe; but IL Is not believed
that they have ever made a sport of
human death, as the Romans and GER
tain later Latin peoples have done.
Nor do they take sacred things so
lightly. They may be reused TO cruel
and brutal deeds They have in their
ordinary life much OF the quality of
humor-a clumsy sort Of fun-malSinR
sense, which the Latin races can hardly
comprehend-but they lack the essen
tial levity toward sacred or dark and
bloody things which made the Roman
arena possible, and which, perhaps,
makes possible the French toy guillo-
tine.
There is, particularly in the daily
press, a tendency among us nowadays
20 cultivate this sort of levity. II is to
be hoped that it will not succeed
