The only embarressment eon nected with the Judge's caree has manifested itself during th past few years, but it occasions ; good deal of talk in New York" financial circles, where the mat ter is of importance. This is tin number of reversal* of his decisions which Judge Simonton has had to endure or, to speak more accurately, the reversals of his 2 fundamejital rulings on great l" questions of constitutional law. s | The fact that a Judge's decisions 1. are over-ruled by the higher courts i* not, of itself, significant. v Hut, when the fundamental theory upon which he bases a ruling is pronounced unsound on appeal, the consequences are apt to be si ru us. Cases, which i themselves are of little importance, t are of vital interest because they involve principles affecting nu< morons pending suits. Now, it y has aroused comment during the t. past few years that Judge Simon_ ton manages by a singular fatality to get on the wrong side of the Supreme Court in his exposition of the constitution He is :l also singularly infelicitous in his quotations of precedents, and somewhat original in his rulings. Those who best know Judge oimoiuoii account ior inese Tilings in various ways. It happens that the railroads within his jurisdiction have been tangled into most confusion disorder through ro1 organizations and combinations and bonded debts. Wero rail' roads nothing but railroads pure and simple, .Judge Simonton would not have so much to do. Hut railroads, at least in this county, are tinancinl institutions, and the most important of their ' i functions is by no means transj portation. The financial aspect of railroading, its bonds and stocks and dividens and generals j mortgage creditors and so on, are things concerning which .Judge Simonton is thoroughly posted and can lay down the law ^ with marvelousness. Hut railroads are required to carry passengers and freight, and it is in the branch of the law relating to this matter that the Judge is not so much at 1 home. To this effect runs tho ex1 planation of those who attempt to account for the circumstances in .FudgeSimonton's career which, * from the nature of things, are pu'./ding to the lay mind, ignorant of the law and unable to pass any competant opinion upon the proceedings of a court. To return, now, to the decision ju^t rendered by .Judge Simonton, declaring the South Carolina dispensarv law null and void, Senators Tillman is quoted as saying that ".Judge Simonton has rendered an infamous decision." It.? further intimates that the whiskey ring, knew in advance what Judge Sinionton's decision would be, but the friends ??f tie* Judge cannot he expected to credit this, even though the attorney of the whiskey ting and Judge Simont ' i ton are personal friends. The fad is that a judge, no matter how upright. i- forced to tie more t>r b--s on intimate term- with members of the bar, and it is due to Judge Simontou to siy that he lias fro <111( 1111V "called down" the attorney of some vast corporation who lias ventured to assume swaggering air in his court. Senator rillman. who litis been a judge himself, says that in the dispensary law ruiiiiir, "J udge Simonton reverses himself, for ho once up hold flio Wilson law. which pre1 vouteil this very thing His decision to-dav neutralizes the law passed in by ( ongress. alter the original package decision." Thero is little doubt that before ' many years the government of r the county will be in a condition n i ~ i i ui wraij-iocK owing to tho passing !l of laws hy one department, their M enforcement hy another, and their - nullification hy a third. This game F5 of check-mate grows moro comi plicated year by year, even if it does not involve the anatnaly of the nullification of laws made by the people. HOW TO FIND OUT. Fill a bottle or common water glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or i settling indicates a diseased con-j Jdition of the kidneys. When j untie stains linen it is positive ( evidence of kidney trouble, 'loo ' frequent desire to urinate or pain , in the back, is also convincing (. I proof that tlie kidneys and bind der are out of order. WHAT TO DO.

Col., has a phenomenal re- ; cord as a wheelwoman. She was ji an invalid when she learned to j ride, and, though always riding ; for pleasure, has earned llScen-M tury bars. She also won the Journal-Kxaminer continental relay t race medal. She has frequently If ridden 200 miles a day. I She says: "I believe that any | woman can acquire sullicient will power to ride loo or 200 miles a j day without tiring. Healthy wheeling depends so much upon the dress. I'm sure that the so- { called disastrous effects credited i to bicycling are induced bv im- 1 proper Jress, as well as by itn- t proper position. 1 prefer a di- 1 vided -kirt because 1 ride a dia- J inond frame.
