GOING WEST To DIE.

Well, here we are, my good old wife, on board
the train at last
Our little all packed in a trunk, with lock ard
strap made fast;
lear the bell ringing. and the whistles pierc-
ing cry,
There, wife. we're movin' out of town-we'reg g.
in West to die !!
We've been from James TO Johns house from
John house back to James,
Till now THEY'VE laid their burdens down on
board this western train.
'Tis rather hard to send US OF, all crippled up ana
To and . place in which TO die, two thousand
miles away.
Since we broke up keepin' house. they've cart
ed us around,
Til now, 1t seems a home for us on earth cannot
as sure as this old face OF mine can ne'er look
young again,
So sure well meyer more return TO Trouble John
Jane.
They send US to a stranger.land, o'er an untrave-
ed road,
1t isn't 10 be wondered at that my eyes,are filed
with teas.
Or that my form IL bVHding with more than
weight Of cars-

No bread is sweet, when eating il mid bitterness
and strife;
Few care TO NIL with peace and jog an old mans
closing life.
Now, o'era long. untraveled road. we seek
stranger land
The old home circle broken up at cruel times
command;
But time cannot destroy our love, 'tis. stronger
now than when
Our heads wore not the silver locks of thlee-scOre
years and ten.
Since we've broke mp a keepin' house, ,,we've led
a wretched lille;
Jane puts the blame upon her man. and John up
on his wife;
And all the friends With whom we'v- won the VIC
tories of life,
We leave behind the little church. where of we've
knelt in pray er.
But, good wife. wen never leave the God that
met us there.
Although these eyes are growing dim, still can
see to read
The precious truth in Gods own Word, that chill
dren all should heed:
Honor thy father" saith the Lord--''thy mother
honor too;
Then shalt thou live long in the land that God
hath given you"
Our latest day will dawn ere long-onr journeys

DIR. J. G. Holland in Scri67aer'S for
September, attacks the divinity that
doth hedge jury in, taking as his
text the proceeding of two Massa-
chusetts litigants who dispensed with
the use of the intelligent twelve and
had their case tried directly by the
Judge. OF all the hallucinations,
says the Doctor, which, from gener-
alton to gen Grafton, possess aad per
vert the minds of men, that which
attaches a sort of sacredness to 3 ju-
ry trial, and the "jury system" as
half divine, is the most fatuftOEs,
r To come down to the solid fact
let us confess that the ordinary jury
is utterly incompetent to perform
its duties. Men who are taken from
the different walks of life, men whose
minds run in the narrow channels of
specialized industries, are brought
into courtroom under eircumstan-
ees utterly strange to them, without
practice in sitting evidence, easily
imposed upon by he plsusibih-
ties of counsel, easily acted upon
through their sympathies, easily i'm
pressed by eloquenoe, and are expect
ed the first time, to render justice.
The thing is absurd on the face of it;
and so notorious now is a jury trial
that men regard a verdict very much
as they do the drawing of lottery.
A verdict is a matter of iurv and
not of justice at all. So well under
stood is the fact, on the part of cor
PoratiOns, that, before, \ jury they
stand no chance in any ease against
an individual, that many of tRem
have ceased to expect Justice from a
jury, and, so are compromising suits
In which they know their opponents
have no case. The average jurer
makes comon cause with any indiYld-
ual against corporation, as the cor
poration has found to its cost.
As men average, there is one in
every twelve, at least, of exceptional
mind and characteristics. There was
a devil among the twelve Apostles,
and in nearly every jury there is
"croOked stick" lie may be with.
out common honesty; he may be
without common sense. He may be
a man who has genius for differing
with everybody on every possible
subject. One man in twelve, at
least, has some excentrioity, and as
ne has no special education to help |
him, his opinion ON any subject
is without the slightest value. Now
this twelfth man is the one on whom
hangs the fate of all who trust them
selves to a jury tral. He can hinder
Justice, and he usually does it. The
good sense of eleven men may have |
decided a given case in a given way, |
but the bad sense, or the bad dispo-
Ashtabula telegraph. (Ashtabula, Ohio) 1874-1880, 1875-09-24

sition, of the twelfth man, is enough
to thwart their will, and make all
the work bestowed on the case of no
avail We decide all other questions
by majority vote but this. Here
alone we require unanimity, and no
chance whatever is afforded to real
ize the results of preponderating
opinion. If jury trial could be de-
cided by a majority, even though it
should be fVe-sixths or eleven
twelfths, justice would have a bet
ter chance. As it is, we have always
to count in the chance of getting the
crooked stick, the dishonest man, the
corruptible man, and to admit his
power to spoil any verdict that elev-
en- men may decide upon. The law
does its best to make every juror IN
compent, by insisting that he shall
be so little intelligent in current af-
fairs as to have no opinion concern
ing them, as they may relate to cas-
es in hand.
Dr.. Holland says he would verv
much prefer to leave a case of his
with three men trained in the law,
or to one man accustomed to com
pairing and measuring evidence, than
to twelve selected by lot from the
realm of acknowledged inexperience
and incompetencY. After one has
picked out three best men of jury.
he has a better jury in the three
than in the nine which are left. A
sum is not increased by piling ciphers
uponit. The jury system, he asserts,
does not help the cause of law and
justice, and ought to be kicked out
of the way. 1t is oppressive to the
juror, it is anomalous in our system
of government, it makes the uncer-
tainty of law still more uncertain, it
is expensive, and it is utterly un-
necessary. There is nothing sacred
about it. To be tried by a mans
peers is not half so good a thing as
to be tried by mans Intellectual and
moral superiors.
There is good deal of truth in DR..
Hollands arrangement of the jury
system, but it scenes to us that the
cause of justice would be better SUBJ
served by raising the standard of
the jury instead of abolishing it al
together. The evils that he COM
plains of are not beyond remedy.
The absurdity of discriminating
against intelligence can be swept
away and two-thirds vote be sub
stituted for unanimous vote in or
der to reach a verdict.

"You can smile and SMILE" said
the court, as a girl about eighteen
years old nipped out, "but the law
wants to know why you threw a pop
bo tile through the window on Beau
bien street last night"
E'Has any one a right to make
faces at me ?" she asked.
Chow ?"
81 was going past Mrs. Johnson's,
and she made up face like this,
and then shook her fist at me like
this-T---, and then / few mad"
'fWell, Miss Prim, it was your du.
ty to pass right on without seeming
to notice her, even if she had stood
on the front steps and called you a
strawberry blonde or yelled out that
your pull-back dress didn't pail for
shucks. There's my clerk over there.
Almost every day some one calls
out Shoot that neck tie,' or see

on to hear. He knows his duty, and
he knows what la " is.''

sir" she said. ~
"Well, shan't punish you for
what you are not going to do, but in
this case it its ten dollars, or sixty

She smiled as sweetly as ever, nip

last seen writing a message to her
sister on a sheet of brown paper.

4 The Democrats are constantly mis-
representing the position of the-Rel
publicans on the finances, by assert
ing that our party is in favor of a
sudden contraction of the currency,
to the injury of business. Here is
the financial platform of the Ohio
Republican platform, adopted at the
last State convention: That policy
of finance should be steadily pursued
which, without unnecessary shock to
business or to trade, will ultimately
equalize the purchasing capacity of
the coin and paper dollar.
