:
THE COURTS ARE INDISPENSABLE.
We are frank to confess that the editorial appearing in as recent
.ssue of the Lexington Herald entitled, "Why Continue to Maintain
he Courts?" was read by us with feelings of surprise, mingled with
regrets.
The distinguished editor of that influential daily, whom we regard
as a public-spirited and law-abiding citizen, being out of patience with
the courts because of several recent miscarriages of justice, tempora
rily loses sight of the fundamental principles underlying our system of
jurisprudence.
"To begin with, we have just as good gevernment and officials as
we deserve. If we elect men to office who are in sympathy with law
breakers, how can we expect the law to be rigidly enforced? We
have always advocated sure, quick and adequate punishment for law
lessness. It is this, knowledge that makes every one fear the federal
courts. If a law is on our statute books, it should either be enforced
or repealed.
Then again, if the juries, made up as they are from the body of the
people, disregard the law and the evidence, we, the people, are not
wholly blameless.
Of course, we know the editorial mentioned was not to bo taken
literally, yet we feel its influence cannot be for good and for our part
we shall continue to urge the people to respect the courts, to discharge,
when called upon as jurors, the highest duty of a citizen and lastly to
elect men upon whom the enforcement of the law will devolve, who by
their past conduct have proven both their ability and willingness to
deal out even-handed justice to all. Laws, backed by a strong, healthy
public sentiment, can and will bo enforced, by men of this character.

Profess Ptttier of the Unit!
States agricultural department, who
was recently sent to Panama for ho
fonical study, has done some remark
able work for the Smithsonian insti
tution in regard to exploring among
tho original inhabitants of that rev
gion.
He visited a tribe of Indians
known as the Choeoe. They lived
on the southwestern coast of Pana
ma, and Professor Pittier thinks
they arc descendants of the tribes
which inhabited that part of the
world when Columbus discovered
Santo Domingo.
They are tall and stalwart, with
kindly nature a free hospitality and
an innate honesty. Few white men
havo eter been among them. Tribes
of a Bomewhat similar nature are
also found ftn the, southeast coast,
many of them having never seen a
white face in theirives. While the
Republic of Panama nominally rules
this section, the truth is that these
Indians govern themselves entirely,
have absolutely no intercourse with
the whites, do not allow a white man
to visit their lands and still fly the
Colombian flag.
Thpir houses ere grass huts, their
clothing is almost nothing, but they
seem to enjoy life in spite of the fact
that they ore unacquainted with the
benefits of religion, fashion, society
and government.

LENGTHY IMPRISONMENT.
A pit pony which was imprisoned
in on English mine at Bestwood,
Nottinghamshire, by a heavy fall of
roof, was rescued alive and well, the
other day, after a fortnight's impris
onment. The pony was helping to
clear the roads which had fallen into
disrepair owing to the strike when
the fall, amounting to several hun
dreds of tons of rock, took place. The
miners immediately set to work to
rescue tne animal, .blrst a narrow
avenue was forced, and through this
food and water was pushed to the
pony. Meanwhile excavations vwro
steadily progressing, and the pony
was finally liberated little the worse
for its experience.

BIRD MIGRATION.
The rate at which some birds can
migrate under favorable conditions
is extraordinary, and as one listpns
to their plaintive cries coming from
the darkness overhead it is difficult
to realize that in a few hours these
same birds may be within the arctic
circle and little later may be even
crossing the pole itself. . . . Less
is known of the actual dates of the
departure of the migratory birds in
autumn than of those of their arrival
earlier in the year, and this forob
vious reasons. The way in which our
most charming songsters silently
skulk out of the country in the au
tumn is very different from that in
which they make their triumphal
entry in the spring when every wood
and copse resounds with their mel
odies. Windsor Magazine.
