TO suppress nsnrreetion, and establish peace in the
Serras. but, this done time should be lost in ex-
tinguishiDg the vandalism of the highways While
acknowledging that the reform of the administration
of justice cannot take place in day, the SgIO takes
occasion 10 argue the importance of the jury system
which few are aware is unknown TO Mex

executions, and experience has shown mat
the penalty of death is sterile The remedy is not

stationed in all the roads; if in all the towns were
national guardsmen; if rural police were created.
and if the haciendadocs and miners undertook to dc
