They listen to ingenious and burning eloquence from opposing coun sel, and possibly after four or live days of indurance of legal squabbling and tedious aud unimportant cross-examination nesses they retire to the jury room there, in one voice, render a verdict in a case, the earlier details of which are already dim iu the memory. That the system lias its vital defects there can bo no doubt, and with reason it has been urged that the cause of jus tice would bo more effectively upheld were the judgment and sentence entrust ed to a bench of justices composed ol men fully 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 A UNITED PARTY The election «<f Speaker Crisp on Monday wan a decisive step In this direction. It unites tho democratic party in Congress nDd throughout the country. It Is a victory for conservative democracy, a victory f< mon seme. It Is not a persona triumph for Crisp, Hill or Tammany, nor for Smith, Brown or Hotiiusoii, but a triuuph for the whole party. Its effect w ill be to destroy all cliques, all mugwumps, cranks Isms and hybrid local factions of every stripe. The conservative forces of dtnmcacy uowstand «d as a truly national party and appeal to the sober common sense of the American •le, who have had enough of narrow minded extremists.—Herald. The Herald holds the opinion that the election of Speaker Crisp will mark the brightest day the Democrats have seen for many years. Taxation for revenue only is the cue, and with moderation and conservatism as the trump cards, there remains no reason why the record of the 52nd Congress should not stand in vivid contrast with the “billion dol lar'’ one. The Democratic rag-bag will be turn ed iuside out in search of a suitable standard bearer who will offer the assu rance of victory in 1802. Crisp is a con servative, calm,’cool leader, pledged to such measures of reform as the time is ripe for, and that will be feasible and popular. When his gavel fell it called to order a united Democratic party, zealous in tariff reform and pledged to an improve ment in the financial conditions of the countrv. OFFICIAL FOOD TESTS.

The Democratic newspapers of New York were practically solid against Crisp for the Speakership, with the exception of the Sun, which espoused the cause of no .candidate, preferring to leave the matter entirely to the Democrats of the Bouse. Hut Crisp's election could not have been more gracefully accepted if the metropolitan newspapers had been for him from the first. Those sturdy cham pions of Democracy, one and all, hear tily congratulate Speaker Crisp upon his success, and unanimously predict for him a wise and conservative career iu his new field of action. Our New York contemporaries express * vain regrets. The choice of the party is their choice, and they urge both wings of the Democracy to flap together at once. This is manly and sensible. It is the good old fashioned way.—Atlaut.i Constitution. Wk would very much like to see a late picture of Speaker Crisp in order to sec what sort of a looking man lie is. Our esteemed contemporary, the Picayune, presents him on its first page this morn ing as quite a handsome young man with a dapper moustache, and neatly combed locks brushed back from bis brow, while the artist in the Times- Demoerat makes him appear as a stout, bald-headed man with a double chin. Hither the pictures have been mixed in the offices of our contemporaries or .Judge Crisp has outgrown recently his hair and old clothes —New’ Orleans Daily States. Sullivan in Sun Francisco and Slavin in Loudon. That doesn’t seem as if the two master spirits of the ring wilf ever come together. Still their preliminary restiveness is a good symptom. The public is always responsive to suggestions about the food it eats. Great interest lias been taken in the in vestigations made^by’the United States and Canadian governments and by the different boards of health to show the purity or impurity of milk, baking pow ders, spices, and other articles of daily use in the culinary department of our households. •Just now the subject of baking pow der is claiming public attention. We all desire pure and wholcsome^bread aud this cannot he had with; the use of im pure or poisonous baking powder. There can be no longer any question that all the cheaper lower grades of baking pow ders contain either alum, lime or pirns phatic acid. The official analyses by the United States and Canadian governments have therefore been studied with interest and have pretty clearly established the facts upon this subject. The United States government report gives the names of eighteen well-known powders, sumo of them advertised as pure cream of tartar baking powders, that contain alum. The report shows that the Royal bak ing powder was found the highest in leavening strength, evolving 100.0 cubic inches of gas per single ounce of pow der. There wera eight other brands of cream of tartar powders tested and their average strength was 111.5 cubic inches of gas per ounce of powder The Canadian government investiga tions were of a still larger number of powders. The Royal baking powder was here also shown the purest and highest in strength, containing 129:02 cubic inches of leavening gas per ounce of powder. Niue other cream of tartar powders were tested, their average strength being reported to be 89 cubic inches of gas per ounce These figures are very instructive to the practical housekeeper. Tiny indi cate that the Royal baking powder goes more than 33 per cent, further in use than the others, or is ono third more economical. Still more important than this, however, they prove this popular, article has been brought to the highest degree of purity—for to its superlative purity tills superiority in strength is due—and consequently that by its use we may bo insured the purest and most wholesome food. The powders of the lower strength are found to leave large amounts of inert matters in the food. This fact is em phasized by the report of the Ohio State Food Commissioner, who, while finding the Royal practically pure, found no other powder to contain less than 10 per cent, of Inert or foreign matters. The public interest in this question has likewise caused to bo made investi gations by our local authorities. Prof. W. S. Haines, of Rush Medical College, c 'iisulting chemist of the Chicago board of health, Ills found results similar to those reported by tlic national and Can adian authorities I)r. Haines says: Rush Medical Coli.kuk, Cud ado, III.—I have recently obtained samples of the chief baking powders in the market, and have subjected them to careful chemical examination to dotermiue their purity, wholesomeness and leavening powers. As the result of my test I find the Royal baking powder superior to all the others in every respect. It is en tirely free from all adulteration and un- wholsomc impurity, and in baking it gives off a greater volume of leavening gas than any other powder. It is, there fore, not only the purest, but also the strongest powder with which I am ac quainted. Walter 8. Halves, M I)., Consulting Chemist, Chicago Hoard of Health. The statistics show that there is used in t^ie manufacture of the Royal baking powder more than half of all the cream of tartar consumed in the United States! I purposes. The wonderful sale j thus indicated for the Royal baking | powder—greater than that of all other j biking powders combined—is perhaps even a higher evidence than that already j quoted of the superiority of this article, and of its indispensableness t cookery.—Chicago Tribune. WASHINGTON LETTER. A Coll i<! Pointed Washington, December 12.—Mr. Harrison’s annual messages to congress is a strong bid for renoraiuation at the hands of his party, and all that now re mains to make his nomination certain, is that Mr. Blaine shall write the letter which the public lias for a year or more been periodically informed that he was just on the eve of writing, declaring that he will under no circumstances accept the nomination. He may or may not write such a letter; just now it is again positively stated that, lie will do so in a few days. The of t.lu nmendation is understanding that it would then ad journ to the following Wednesday. Even if lie devotes his time entirely to the subject it is hardly probable that Speak er Crisp will be able to announce the committees before the Christmas recess. The first bill introduced in the senate was that prepared by Superintendent Porter, providing for a permanent cen sus bureau. Mr. Harrison does not men tion this subject in his message. There lias been a good deal of nonsense written about the election of Speaker Crisp shutting out a prominent candidate for the demociatic presidential nomina tion. The national convention only lias authority to settle that question. If .Jerry Simpson does not catch speaker's eye as often as lie wishes, it will not be because of liis location, as he GETTING RIGHTS OF WAY.

It happened in the following manner: Mr. Smith was handling the lever to the engine, hoisting a very heavy piece of timber, when the engine turned over, and the end of a piece of shaft fell on Ills foot, mashing his toes in such a manner that two of them had to be amputated.
