LOCATION or the SUPREME COURT

TuG Tyler Democrat, as a matter of
course, opposes the location of the SUI
preme Court at Dallas and occupies
much of its space in superHuous en-
deavor to show why the claims of this
densely populated and highly prosper
GUS section should be ignored. The
only claim that Tyler can possibly urge
Tor the location of the court at that
point IL, because it has been there be-
fore With the.same propriety the cit
liens Of Washington county might urge
thereturnofthe State capital to Washing
ton since that village once gloried in be-
ing the seat of government. The fact
is that Tyler has dropped too far behind
the development progress and in.
creasing population of this State to per.
sist in requiring that all of North Texas
should be tributary to its courts. There
is no good reason in forcing citizen
from Parker or Clay county for in
stance, to travel two hundred and fifty
miles for the privilege of attending
court, when he can in seventy five miles
reach Dallas We think, notwithstand-
ing the protests of Tyler that the Fif
teenth Legislature will hardly ignore
the claims Of North Texas.

VIZ sincerely hope that no time viii
be lost in passing the bill providing for
the incorporation of railway companies.
The organization of the Dallas and Gle
burne Railroad Company only awaits
the requisite legislative action, We
have already indicated the propriety of
at once stimulating the building of rail
ways by large donations of lands for four
or five years, and after that time de-
creasing the amount of the subsidy, No
railway company can now be organized
at all, and all movements in that direc-
ton must await the pleasure of the leg
islativc department of the government.

rounded by high stone wall, and there
was no chance for either to retreat,
The Indian raised his rifle to shoot
Captain Caldwell, but the ground was
covered with stones, the only defense
in reach of the Captain, and, as often
MS the Indian attempted to shoot, he let
fly such shower of stones about his
head that he was prevented from firing
until John D. Morris came to the res

SENATOR T--ET'S JURY BILL.

Senator Flint has introduced a
bill providing that eleven jurors IN
criminal case and nine ia q civil
suit may render verdict. The
Madison Joauaal, in commenting on
the bill, has this to say Of the pres
ent system, which is sound:
"In times when there were tyrsnts
and cruel laws, and judges who were
corrupt N merciAess, those accused
Of crime, or who were struggling
against rich and powerful opponents
III civil suit, found some protection
in the jury system. At present
rogues often find escape through the
system. One man has the power to
prevent eleven men from doing what
IS right. Justice waits outside the
jury room door, and kicks her heels
together in vain, expecting a verdict
The obstinate man won't agree, and
the whole case must be gone over
again at great expense. 1t may be
good for the lawyers, the guilty and
the obstinate man, but it is hard on
innocent suitors. The fact is that
the power rests with the judge to
control nearly all cases, so that no
abuse would be likely to creep in if
the new system were adopted, and
old abuses would be swept away if
the jury system contormed to rules
that govern other departments of a
republican government"

MEMBERS Of Congress, State Legis-
latures, County Boards, City Coun-
ellis, Village Boards, et,.., need have
no hesitation, under present circum
stances, in voting for any and every
measure that provides for the re-
duction of pubEc expenses. The
peopIe will bear them out in it. ere
trenchment, economy and reform
should be the watchwords Of this era
of hard times and high taxes. Re
duce appropriation, cut down salar-
les, dispense with all useless officers
and hangers-on, defer all proposed
public improvements-in short, come
down to the hard-pan at once. Let
this centennial year mark new era
of official purification and public
economy. The necessities OF the
times are ample justification. The
tax-burdened people cry aloud be-
meath the load they have to bear as
the result of public extravaganza
and official mismanagement, and that
man will prove himself their friend
who will devise measures Of relief.
