Radical Reforms Needed.


Among the changes needed in the ex-
isting order of things to simplify justice
and equaliZe human rights we note the
following.
lst. The abolition of the Grand Jury
system. 1t is useless and expensive
humbug, and its duties can be better
discharged by committing magistrates.
1t gives the accused no opportunity to
face his accusers; thus the reputation of
innocent persons is often blackened by
indictments founded in malice of one
sided witnesses.
ID. \ change in the trial jury system
I from the unanimous to the majority
verdict-the same as in the State of Ne
vada. The idea of forcing men to agree
is an absurdity, and is subversive of
! justice. Trial juries in criminal eases
/ should also determine the nature and
duration of the punishment, which
should be divested of everything like
vindictiveness, and be made reformatoTy
wholly.
5. The abolition of capital punish
ment. 1t is Il relic of barbarism -bru-
taliZing in its effects upon the public
mind, and is not needed for the prOtec-
tion of well organized society. 1t pre-
vents the culprit from making that rep
aration to society which he justly owes,
and which he can only pay by a life OF
service to the State.
1. y change in the probate laws to
give the widow the same control OveI
the common property that is now en-
joyed by the husband i'm case of the
wife's death; and thus do away with the
whole business of administration during
the lifetime of either party to the mar
riage contract. Small estates are now
absorbed by the expensive probate bust
ness, and widows, who are frequently
more competent to manage business af
fairs than were ever their defunct hus
bands when living, are hampered by al
: sorts Of unjust restrictions.
5th. A change in the law of descen
: and distribution, so as to take it out c
the power of a man to dispose by will c
more than a certain sum-say $4,000
; to any one person or purpose.
9Th. Graduated taXation-eXemptin
{ all homesteads, or implements of trad
: whereby q person obtains livelihood
t to the value of 900, and fixing grad
= uated scale of taxes upon all other prop
erty, until it reaches a figure beyon
which it would be impossible to accu
? mulate; thus preventing the aggrega
: tiou of vast estates in the hands OF in
= dividuals to the injury of the many.
: When these reforms are brought abou

Conversational Power.

Conversational power is gift Of
birth. It is some mems nature to talk.
Words flow out incessantly, like drops
from a spring in the hill-side-nOt be-
cause they are solicited, but because
pushed out by inward force that will
not let them be still. From this ex-
treme there is every degree of mOdifica-
tiOn until we come to the opposite eX-
treme, in which men seem almost una
bic, certainly unwilling, to utter their
thoughts. Some men are poor i'm simple
language. They have thoughts enough,
but the symbols of th0ughts-WOrds-
refuse to present themselves, or come
singly and stingily. Others are silent
from the structure of secretivenes. 9th
ers cautious, and look before they speak,
and before they are ready the occasion
| has passed.
In regard to language itself, the habit
/ of reading pure English, and of employ
ing it every day, is the best drill for a
good talkeT. People always act more
naturally in their every day clothes
than they do when dressed up for Sun
day; and the reason is, that they are un-
conscious in the one case and self-eOn-
sciOus in the other. 1t is so in speech.
If one allows himself to talk coarsely
and vulgarly every day and out of com
pany, he will most assuredly find it not
easy to talk well in company.
Habit is stronger than intention, and
somewhere the common run of speech
viii break through and betray you. To
/ converse well ut some times requires
/ that you shall converse well at all times.
/ Avoid on the one side vulgarism, ali
street cOllOquialisms, even when they
are not vicirus; for by-words and slang
/ sentences amuse only while they are
new. As soon as they become habitual
! they corrupt yonr language, without any
/ equivalent amusement.
I On the other extreme, avoid magnilo-
quent and high-hown language of every
kind. Nothing is more tedious than a
/ grand talkeT. Everybody laughs at a
/ pOmpOus talker, who lugs into his con-
versation big words or pedantic express
siOns. The best language in the world
is that which is so simple and transpar-
ent that no one thinks of the words
: which you use, but only of the thought
or feeling which they express.

Mr.. Mcintosh at once recognized the
Colonel, much to Sonora's astOnishment
at first, but her father soon informed
her that he was the gentleman of whom
she had heard her mother speak. She
thereupon treated him more as friend,
and taking his offered arm, proceeded
with him to speak to her mother.
Mrs. Hewitt was delighted beyond
measure at meeting him once more, and
more so to think her daughter had al
ready formed his acquaintance, and
seemed pleased so far. Now, thought
she, she will get over her love Of Clar-
enee, for this gentleman is so much
more captivating.

Conspicuous among the ladies who
have become journalists in this country
may be mentioned Miss Margaret f.
Buchanan, of the Chicago Erening Post.
For two years she has been the princi-
pal assistant, writing leaders on every
conceivable topic, political, literary, re-
ligiOus, financial, etc, and doing any
amount of small work in the way Of
dramatic and musical criticism. Dur
ing the month succeeding the fire she
wrote more than q column and half q
day. Readiness is her strong point.
She is an Irish Catholic of the strictest
sort, a Radical in politics, and a girl
who is said to have never thought Sc
riously of marrying. She knows so
much about ''leaders'' that she probably
don't want one to dominate her.
