for Congress, and John B. Gordon.
Governor,
The betting in New York is ten
to seven on Cleveland, and the re
publicans are not taking the bets
at a very lively rate oven at those
figtn os. Tho confidence of the re
publicans in the success of their
ticket is not as great as they pre
tend it is.
At a prayer mooting in Indian
apolis the other night Mr. Elliott
F. Slicpard of tho Now York Mail
and Express made a political
speech, in which ho abused , Cleve
land and Thurman. Nobody
ought to expect anything bettor of
Shepard. Ho is a crank.
Jumbo Jowott was in Macon, on
exhibition the4th ot July; Jumbo
weighs 649 lbs, Ho has a good
look ing and intelligent face, and
his foot and hands are of ordinary
size, but his body, legs and arms
are simply fearful in sizo. He says
ho suffers no inconvenience from
his fatnesh beyond pain in tho foot,
caused by supporting such an im
mense woight, never has tho boat
and is an avorago eater. Ho
weighed six pounds at birth and
up to tho time ho was twelve years
of ago was an ordinary boy. At
that ago he began taking on flosh,
ami lots of it has boon taken on.
He was twonty-fivo years old last
March, and has no idea when ho
will stop increasing in weight,
JURY TRIAL.
The principle, of being “triod by
tho judgement of our ‘poors’ ’’ of
tho vieinty, is one of the great ele
ments of a republic, and tho great
est characteristic of a troo govern
ment.
Tho Jury room is a school in
which tho citizens of a Republic
learn to weigh facts, to balance ar
guments, and the habit of delibera
tion—in a word it is the school in
which the man is educated into the
citizen. The true popular element
of our judiciary is to make tho citi
zen a member of tho court in the
administration of Justice, between
tho state and the citizen, and be
tween citizen and citizen. And no
consideration should out weigh the
advantages resulting from a person
al Participation by the citizen in
tho administration of Public Jus-
tice.” This view of the Jury ques
tion is an important ono, a view or
point from which our people havo
not as fully considered it as they
should. It is a question which
should be considered by tho Jury
commissioners in all of tho counties
of this state. The quest ion before
them, is not, will 2, 3 or 5 hundred
or one thousand names in the Jury
Box be enough. Thoy should con
sider the importance of tiffs school
ing in a Democratic or Republican
government, to its citizens and give
every “intelligent and upright citi
zen'' of the county a chance to take
part in the administration of the
public justice. This is the magna
charta idea, and there is no star
chamber in it. Oitizen.
