fair extent, steadier and could not be bought

There was, however, no marked advance in any
grade, but we have revised our quotations to ac-

To Preserve Hams.

When first butchered rub the hams
and shoulders with salt and let them
lie thirty-six hours. Then covered with
brine for six weeks longer will not hurt
them. Then remove them from the
brine, insert strong string in the large
end and hang them up in the smoke
house hook end downward. by this
means tenderness and flavor are given
to q portion of the ham often thrown
away. Smoke with green hickory
chips, and when they are sufficiently
smoked and dried, wrap them each in
a large sheet of brown paper and put
in loose bag of brown domestic. Tie
up the mouth of the bag carefully,
leaving out the string by which it was
hung up, and return to the hook in the
smoke-house or any other safe cOnve-
nient place. Hams thus treated will
keep for years. So says large pork
raiser of Indiana whose hams COM
mand the highest price in the markets.

OUR jury system must be amended.
A qualification better and higher than
those now required of jurors is de-
manded. and must be established. II
is shameful to see important questions
of law, involving the value of proper
ty, handed over too often to lot of
seedy, needy fellows, some of whom
are in want and some incapable of re-
sisting temptation and corruption. No
wonder verdicts are not always OH the
side of justice. Where are the presi-
dents of banks and the railway mag
mates? Where are the rich real estate
men, hotel keepers and merchants :?
Why do they never appear in the jury
box? And hundreds of other wealthy,
able and well known citizens, why are
SO very, very few of them ever seen in
a jury box? Almost all Of them decry
the jury system. but they do nothing
to purify it. They shirk duty they
should seek as a matter of conscience,
yet they leave it to unworthy hands
too often, not regarding the quiet,
stealthy injury their neglect is surely
working against the common good.
The jury system, that is, the mode of
selecting and qualification, must be
amended so that the riff-ratf will be
kept out of the jury box.

The Texas and Pacific In Congress.

The bill now before congress author
lzing the government TO endorse the
bonds Of the Texas and Pacific railway
for forty thousand dollars n mile, In
exchange for n mortgage on all the
lands and property Of the company,
will be reported from the committee
about the first of February. A special
to the Galveston News gives the result
of an interview with one of the roads
friends, who Is very confident of n
favorable action by congress. He
says "that the bill was strong on its
merits. 1t was an act of juctice to the
south, giving that section assistance to
enable it to reach the Pacific coast, al
though the aid proposed was much less
valuable than that given to the north.
On this account it would receive the
solid southern vote and substantial
support from fair minded northern
representatives In the next place,
the construction of the road would do
much to revive the prostration of the
industry Of the country, and this argu-
ment had already proven efIectual with
several members representing iron-pro-
ducing districts. He counted on u
heavy vote from Pennsylvania on this
account, as well as on account of the
controlling influence exercised by Col
onel Thomas A. Scott over members
from that state, with the south unit
for the bill, backed by Pennsylvania
and the Pacific coast, he believed there
would be no trouble to pick up enough
members here and there in other states
to make majority. Once through
the house there would be no difficulty.
On the other hand, the northern Pa
cific will urge its friends to vote for the
Texas Pacific, which will give it some
strength in the northwest. The senate
had long been ready to pass the bill
whenever friends of roads desired.

laurels in the campaigns Of the army

William Sharon, the California ma
bob, and prospective United States sem
ator from Nevada, was n resident of
Carrolt0n. from 1916 TO lSi9, when he
was on his first legs as n lawyer. James
ID. Ralston, who is Sharon's partner in
"Palace hail." the great San Francisco
hotel, now being erected at Sl,750 900,
married the beautiful Miss Lizzie Red,
of Carrolton. Colonel Il. ID. Baker, an
other distinguished California lawyer,
who was killed while in command of
the federal forces at Balls Bluff, during
the late war, first put his shingle out"
In Carrolton. Ex-Governor Harvey
and ex-Judge Delahay, of Kansas, eX-
Governor Warmoth, of Louisiana, and
Ex-Governor Throckmorton, of Texas,
were formerly citizens of Green county.
The newly elected secretary of state
of Kansas, Il. II. Cavanaugh, was u
Carrollton boy, and ex-senator w. M.
Fishback, of Arkansas, is another.
One of the Knapp brothers, of the st.
Louis Republican, was once "a Green
county farm hand" And Mrs. Mayor
Brown, of st. Louis, is native of
Carrollton. AS Douglas used to say,
"Vermont is a good place for one to be

The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Times says: "a German paper
comments on Field Marshal MoitSe's
scrupulous performance of his duties
as country squire at his seat in Sile-
sia. Under recent legislation assigning
certain functions to landed proprietors,
the same hand which has sketched the
boldest compaigns registers the birth OF
a child, and the tongue which can be
silent, in seven languages, unites
couples in the blissful condition oi
wedlock. IL is only when he is absent
that deputy performs these duties"
The writer suggests that the marshai's
celebration of marriages had better he
kept secret from the English, for he
fears that many couple might repair
to Creisau in lieu of Gretna-G Green OF
the abolition of which he does not
seem to be aware, and that many a
lady would prefer a certificate of the
birth OF her firstborn in the handwrit-
ing Of the old warrior TO the signature
of any English clergyman, the dean OF
Westminster not excepted.
