BUTLER ON LABOR.

From the N. Y World.
1t was to be expected that if General Butler
delivered an address at a county fair 1t would
not be like the agricultural addresses OF otner
men. For it is the ambition of General Butler
to attract attention to himself by behaving
unlike all other men in whatever situation ne
may happen to be. His address was sure,
therefore, to be sensational. But we own 10
pleasing surprise at finding it sensible as
General Butler begins by differenoing the
agriculture of the present day from other IN
duStries by pointing out that its prohts are
still small while theirs are large already, ana
yearly growing larger. But these large pronts
are unjustly divided. The capitalist gets the
mons share Of them, and large fortunes are
growing larger, while the laborers lot Is very
little lighter than it was before the introdqc-
ton OF the machinery which has SO greaty S
multiplied the profits of his labor Ihe
strikes which have been so rife OF late years
are revolts, on the part of the worklngmen,
against the unjust distribution OF the Ir1ts
OF their toll. But the profits of farming are
still small, alike to the farmer and the farm
laborer, for the machinery which has so SIM
plifed other industries has not yet, TO any
thing like the same degree, increased the pro-
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1869-09-27

And for ourselves, we are unable to see the
slightest prospect of improving iuries COM
posed of those classes by merely changing
their sex.
This writer, however, seems to think that
this would be an improvement woman,
he says, sin her verdicts would temper JUS
tice with mercy. II is brutal cruelty to ex-
pose women in the prisoners box, before a
jury, court, and bar of men only. IL is
enough to harden the erring and to cause the
innocent to err. Woman's presence in the
jury-bo would be consolation and qua
rantee of justice to her if she were innocent;
a protection against needless and indecent
exposure of her crime if she we're guilty"
This again is mere assertion without tounda-
ton. The facts, as we believe, are noto-
riously otherwise. Men are not so harsh
in their judgments of women as women are.
But if it were not so, we deny that in
criminal cases where women are concerned
which are all that this writer seems to have in
mind, there is any need of tempering Justice
still further with mercy. 1t has always been
a difficult matter to get verdict against a
woman from the days of Phryne down to
those of Mary Ann Burroughs--as for ''caus-
ing the innocent to err we have never heard
of any woman that committed crime for the
sake of being tried before court and jury of
men, but we have no doubt that instances
could be tOunu IN winch women COmmltbed
crime, relying on their sex to shield them
from the verdict which if they were men they
could not escape.
Baron Bramwell, an English Judge of large
experience, was recently called upon to give
his opinion as to jury trials before a COM
mission. He was asked whether he thought
that trial before a jury or before judge
was to be preferred in the majority of cases,
and though he gave his opinion with hesita-
ton, it was that if he wanted the truth to
be ascertained in the particular case, he
should prefer san intelligent man who had
been in the habit of exercising his faculties
all his life on such questions, to twelve men
who had not been in the habit of exercising
theirs, and who might not be so intelligent
men," We apprehend that if the question
had been put as to a jury of women, the
Judges hesitation would have quite vanished
What changes may be wrought in the femi-
nine mind by throwing down all the barriers
which divide the duties of the two sexes, nc
one can tell. 1t may be that another genera
ton of women, brought up to know that they
were to be called upon to perform all the
duties of citizenship, might be better able tC
perform them than the present race of women
whose lives have not been pervaded by that
idea; but as to the present race, we have nC
doubt that the entry of women into the jury
box would aggravate all the evils there which
now need reforming, and that nothing would
tend more powerfully to the destruction OF
the present jury system and the giving oul
trials exclusively into the hands of single
Judges.

WOMEN IN THE JURY-BoX.
From the N. Y. Times.


The arguments in favor of giving women
the right of suffrage are sometimes met by
the query whether when women vote they
are also to be called on to do military duty
and to sit upon juries, and bear all the other
burdens of citizenship. One writer in behalf
of women has met this query squarely at
least as far as the jury question is concerned.
He announces boldly that ''if the petit jury
shall continue it must owe its perpetuity to
the advent of women as jurors. They can
redeem it. They alone can do so in this busy
age. For they would be willing to assume
the high and noble offices now impatiently
relegated by our educated classes to the court
loafers and swarm of illiterate teamsters
and laborers."
We are quite willing to agree with this
writer that our juries are not what they
should be, but we should have liked it better
If he had given us some foundation for his
statement that admitting women to the
Jury-box either can or will reform it. On
what ground are we to assume that, if women
were admitted to the jury-box, the Influences
winch now work upon educated men and
/ make them impatient of jury duty, would
not tnen work upon educated women We
suppose " viii not be thought of that the
giving TO women of the right to vote and to
bear arms and do jury duty, is not to give
them the right to be ''teamsters and
laborers, and even to be ''court loafers. "
