The Cincinnati Enquirer
pleads piteously for the re.
peal of the income tax-thinks
II an abomination aud disgrace
to the age in which We live
SO 1T is with all men of large
incomes-they like the pro.
lection the government affords
like the laws for depressing
the poor in the collection of
debts-but when it comes to pay
ing their share of taxes, then
it is that they whine and talk
OF oppression. The govern
ment must have money to pay
its debts, and for one We pre-,
fer that the income of the rich
should be taxed rather than
the house or COW of the poor
man. But Free Traders havO
become so much attached to
the wealth of the country in
their advocacy of that policy,
that even when it comes to
the question Of taxation, their
sympathies run in the same di.

THERE is a great conviction,
says the N. Y. Times of the alb.
surdity OF the existing law reg
ulating the impanneling \of
the juries md the disa bilities
from serving. Every little
while a notable trial is had
which affords a new demon
stration of the fast and the
wonder is that it has not been
remedied before. The idea
that a man should be disquali>
fed for average intelligence
which is the practical result Of
the existing pracuce--is ridic-
ulous. There is reason for Sk
cluding a person from a jury
who hes become prejudiced to
an extent that would seriously
affect his verdict, but not in a
case where his only impress
sion has been derived from
reading the newspapers. A
man who does not read the pa,
pers and keep posted on cur
rent events, is pretty surely a
Ounce who. is unfit to sit upon
a jury. If newspapers would
confine themselves to legih,
mate comment on crime, the
rule for selecting juries might
very properly be reversed, ma
king it good ground of chal'
lenge for person not to be a
reader Of daily journals. There
Is no doubt that such a rule
would elevate the intellectual
standard of juries.
