Now Is tho proper sime for she public officials
to prepare such suggestions for legislation as
thoir experience may have taught them to bs es-
sontiA to tho conservatism Of public order and

ture may bo materially shortened, and money
thereby saved to tho people. il the deairable
measures bo presented promptly and In an intel
ligent Rbnpe for action. Among those regulates

ptahea in the way Of reform by the laat jury law,
providing for cartain rotation syatau, which
has crowded out largo proportion Of the pro-
{sssional jurors who formerly swarmod our

to some extent by tho practice Of employing sub
stitutes, whom Taxpayers are usually willing to
pay in order to escape the vsxatious sorvice.

would accomplish moro in tho way Of breaking

PROSPERITY IN THE WEST.
In tho general Talk as the East Of hard times
and depression Of business, accompanied BY tho
closing Of mills and tho reduction Of working
limo in otherH, 1t Ia comfort to turn to tho
more cheering figures which indicate tho PROB
rortty OF the West Last winter after tho panic |
had stricken tho general business Of transporta-
ton, tho rates on grain we're so much lower that !
notwithstanding tho close Of navigation the |
movement Of grain WAS 30 l,oavy during tho |
whole winter that the surplus Of tho Northwest
standing ovcr in tho spring was very much ro-
iucod. So great was this reduction that, ut the |
opcning Of navigation In tho spring. the or
diuary high ratea Of freight on the lases for
moving tho winter accumulation did not prevail.
The Western producers, therefore, begun tho
aeason Of 1871 With moro cash In hand, received
all during tho winter, than had ever boon known
in any previous yoar.
Tho cash value Of tho corn receivod in Chica~
20 during tho twelve months of 1873 waB s14,-
000000 The cash valuo Of the corn received
in Chicago In ls74--not allowing for the six
woeka yht to expise-is $21, 900. .0o0,.-an in
crease OF cash to tho producers Of 80 per cont
over Inst yoar. Tho crop OF 1874 was 1ess in
quantity, but the advance In prices has placed In
tho hnnds Of the Western producers more than
50 per cent mora cash for less quantity than
they received last year. The additional seyen
millions OF dollars ia Of itself handsome and
hnndy thing to havo Oh baud.
Assuming that the whole number Of hoga to
be packed in the West this scaaon--thas Is. from
Oct l. 1874, 10 Fob. !, 1875-wiA DO five millions,
tho actual sum to bo paid tor them IN caah will
not fall short Of s85, 900, 900. Tho SEASON prom
ises to be alorter one than usual, as farmers
are sending their bogs to market to avoid feod-
Ing them on hiGh-priced corn. This crop also
foota up handsome advance over last year.
There has been pothaps half az much corn
shipped from tho West which has passed ro,tnd
Chicago aa has beon received hero. During tho
bame period-from the close Of harvest through
tho wutcr-the1o will bo perhaps $15.ooo,o 600
