Sou can sec him loading about the
court house almost every day, aIwnya
shabby and generally dirty. lie has
no visible means Of support, and Is
about rs thriftlcss, bibulous and fnwn-
ingaspecimen Of American sovereignty
us il IL possible to find. Once this fell
low gets taste of jury fees, he hauilts
the court house and Is always conven-
iently on hand TO make up the requisite
number. Mortally lazy, the j. j.
leaves his family often to scuflle for
themselves, while he Is content to live
on such scraps of an income as few
precurious jury fees give him. Instead
of making an honest effort to work at
some one thing regularly, he floats and
drifts about official places like an ltal-
ian beggar around II church door,
Such men are II nuisance to the law
officers, the bar and the community.
Often the sheriff has no recourse but
to put them on, because they are always
ready for u job and never dodge. They
bother the sheriff, they devil the depu-
ties, they annoy the amiable district
attorney and are an eye-sore to the bar
and bench generally.
The presence of one of them on a
jury disgusts honest farmers and hard
working men of every kind, and the
association of these Jeremy Diddlers
with respectable men who are doing
jury duty in good faith, is exceedingly Of
fensive to them and q first class NUS
ance generally. The law gives man
trial by II jury of his peers. What
must the prisoner he if one of those
fellows is his peer? There is but one
way to abate this growing evil and 1t
is for the legislature to so amend the
law as to prohibit a man from sitting
on jury more than once a year. This
is the law in another state and it works
like charm.
The citizen taken from his Office, his
farm or his work bench to do jury duty
and who leaves his work to serve the
state, not for the fees, but because it is
his duty as Il citizen, and who dis
charges it cOnscientiOusly to the best
of his ability, is u man to be honored
and respected. The professional juror
is maggot in cheese, and is entitled
to nothing but contempt, inasmuch as
he makes business of duty, ana
thrives by his available convenience.
The course of justice is hampered by
these creatures. They are OF no adj
vantage to the state or the prisoner,
the plaintiff or the defendant. They
degrade the position of juror, which
is one of honor and responsibility, and
not to be entered into lightly, but So
berry and discreetly.
The bench and the bar, Us well as the
officials and people, would gladly hail
with satisfaction any action which
would relieve them of the abuse OF this
privilege of citizenship. p. j., though
is such plausible, handy ass that very
often, may be he is put OH to get rid OF
him and step his importuning looks
and mental propinquity. Some OF these
days, however, the judge, the sheriff,
the bar and the people will smite him
so that he will arise and flee as a bird
and become something else.

from the Austin Statesman.
] When the forefathers of
American civilization sailed
from the old continent to lay
the deep foundations Of a new
State in the New World, they
sought to avoid the three fold
curse under which m outworn F'1
Europe groaned- -tlhlge9'oscracy, llg9's
aristocracy and monarchy.
They brought the sword, but
they loved better the axe and
the plow-types Of toll and
cooperative freedom. For the
mass book they hadithe Bi bic,
and for the. inquisition the.
printing press. The freight
with which they sailed was
more precious than they knew,
for humanity came in the same
sbip. They had the love Of
personal freedom freedom
fenced all around with law,
native in all Teutonic veins,
and the Unborn skill to organ
ize rivers to mills, men to q
community, tribes to q feder-
ated State. They had the
habit Of local self government,
ofilegislation by the people,
and Of congregational Protes-
tantism-the democracy OF
Christianity, They did not
reverence the old traditions Of
Europe the rule Of the noble,
the priest and the king, with
the, right thence derived, to
govern men, against their will
in charch and State. They
wanted no monarch ruling by
Divine right, but only a Gov
ernor, chosen by themselves at
sheif yearly meeting no no
bles privileged by the accident
Of birth, but the same law
serving for all ; no priest be
longing to q separate and
sacred caste, but only 9 min
lister chosen by the, laymen's Z
votes, paid by their free-will
cttsrings, and removable al
5fheir will. All are men, and
manhood carries with it iiall
human rights, as land the
crops. Few men Of the ruling
lasses sailed with the colo

rich. The great foe to human
progress is poverty. Wealth
is the ladder whereby we can
scale the heavens Of manhood;
under its Invitations we have
made such rapid advance as,
no nation ever made. No peo-
pie was, ever SO well clothed

Such a homestead never lay
out Of doors before. We can
plan, control, administer ma

We can organize. things into

When this work Of the CON.
quest Of nature to the service
Of man is wen advanced, we
shall rise to higher aims, and
begin to understand that there
is a law Of God which directs
the clink Of every coin it can
not roll except by the Eternal
Laws. Then the almighty
dollar will bow before the
behests Of those higher poten-
tates-the conscience, the SEN
