TBIU BY JURY.
Tabllo opinion seems to tend towards
the abolition of the present system of
trial by jury in capital eases; and not
'without cause. Examples are every
where cropping up of paoked and bribed
juries, of the acquittal of wealthy and
Influential criminals through, the power
of money. Bnt leaving aaide the de
plorable fact that aueh corruption doea
exist, it baa been pertinently aaked if
twelve men choaen from the ordinary
walks of life are capable of beetowlng
updtrthe adduced testimony that careful
and comprehensive consideration, en
tirely unbiased by any previously formed
opinion, which la absolutely essential to
<tbe rendering of an impartial and strictly
Just verdict.
1 Chosen generally from the Immediate
vicinity of the sceno of the crime, these
twelve men go into the jury box to pas*
judgment upon a human being who shall
be tried in accordance with the tenets
set forth in the old Mosaic law, "An eye
for an eye, a tooth for a tooth If he
bo Ipnocont, let him <go forth with bis
oharacter cleared of the stain of human
blood wantonly shed, but If ha be guilty,
in the name of law and the upholding of
morality and civilisation let him meet
with the untimely end which be himself
has brought upon a fellow creature
Thlajury, fresh from discussion of
the orlme, are called together to take
cognisance of evidence the merits of
which they have already, in nind cases
oat of ten, heard exhaustively discussed
outside. They listen to ingenious and
I nming olnqucncb from oppoaing coun
sel, and possibly after four or five
days of Indurance of lrgal
squabbling and tedious and
unimportant cross-examination o' wit
nesses they retire to the jury room
thero, in one voice, render a verdict in a
case, the earlier details of which are
already dim in the memory.
- That the 'system has its vital defeots
thorecan be no doubt, and with reason
It has boon urged that the cause of jut-
tics would be more effectively upheld
were the judgment and eentenoe entrust
ed to a boneh of justiooa composed of
men folly equipped in legal knowledge
and of known integrity, who could
rightly interpret and dispose of the in
tricate technical points which may at
any time arise
Mb. Juan Alvaukz, who has just
returned from the southwestern part of
Mexico, reports the exist onso of a strange
city that has never been trod by the foot
of white roan. It is an old Axteo city
and the approaohos to it are so guarded
by nature that It la an Impossibility to
reaoh it it the inhabitants do not want
tho traveler to got In, Tho city lice In
the almost inaccessible mountains In the
region lying in tho extreme southwest
ern part of the country, and is so far
away from civilization that tew whito
men have ever been In tho neighborhood,
It was by the purest accident that Al
varez became aware that a city waa any
where In the vicinity, and after be found
It all of hit endeavors to reach' it were
unavailing on account of the penis tent
opposition of the natives.
Tub Constitution is urging upon the
consideration of the country the neces
sity of combining the issues of tariff re
form with financial relief. One Issue,
■ays the Constitution, should not be sep-
arated from the other, but both should
be the leaven that will leaven the Demo
cratic mast in 1692,
Heanr Wattekson’s eulogy of Crisp
is a masterpiece of rhetorical beauty
'and finish. He fin is in Crisp's elevation
tj the second office within the gift of
the American people a copious source
for marvel, since hr secured the plum
over snob vetran statesmen aa Springer
and Mills.
The New York Sun, according to the
Tribune-of-Romo, ta a, paragon of
classical rhetoric, faultless management
of words and strong, pure, virile Eng
lish. Editor Dana’s control of style is
phenomenal, and the Sun’s editorial
page suggests the claasio polish of Ma-
' cauley.
Tub Chilian government is Incensed at
President lfarrison’e allusion In hie mes
sage to Baltimore affair. They claim
that bis opinions wero based on ex-psrte
testimony, and he has been severely
criticized for stretching the blanket.
BnA2iL seems to be "in U” with a ven
geance. The new governor has been re
quested to resign, bnt refuses to accede
to tho request. Martial law will be pro
claimed.
