The Intelligent jury has turned up again,
this time in PoughkeepSie N Y. Verdict WAS
found for the plaintiff in suit for damages
but no amount was fixed. Being ignOminiOuS-
ly locked up again, the jury soon fixed a sum,
and returned TO the court room. When in
polling the jury the name of one Of the jurors
was called, he created a sensation by replying
You may pass Being asked an explanation
OF his extraordinary response he EXPIRE SSed
dissatisfaction with the verdict; but when
asked point blank Are you satisfied with the
verdict as rendered." he replied: Let it

The Republican comes to the same conclu-
sion as that expressed by THE STAR, that the
rule Of the police board preventing publicity
OF rObberieS committed serves to defeat the
ends of justice instead of furthering them.
The Republican says:
The reason assigned for this secrecy is that
to make public the fact that robbery had
been committed would give the thief warning
that the police knew of ii, and put him on his
guard. This Is plausible, but not good rea-
son, because the thief knows very well that
the robbery is reported to the police, whether
1t Is published or not. In the absence of any
better explanation, it must be concluded that
the rule Is adopted To screen the police force
from public criticism when they make fail

The New York Sun pats Senator Howe on
the back for his speech pitching into Hayes
The Tribune sees nothing to be gained by
such speeches. but thinks his invectiye will
command attention as phenomenon of trOu-
bled times, pOrtent of Storm The Times
says" 1t is difficult TO see what good Mr.
Howe expected to do by his long speech de-
liyered in the Senate yesterday. No doubt
1t was a relief to him personally. But,
though grateful to the orator, the process
cannot be counted profitable to the
country or to the great party to which
MIR. Howe belongs, and in whose
name he assumes particularly to speak"
The Herald speaks in very uncomplimentary
terms of the abilities of Mr.. Howe but thinks
that like most men of his calibre who con-
tlnue to keep themselves SO long in office he
understands the public sentiment of his own
State and that his speech is bid for re-
election, and indicates that the administration
Is not popular in Wisconsin. The World ex-
presses the opinion that Senator Howe is not
the person whom caucns of Senators would
be likely to put forward as their spokesman in
initiating party policy, and that his speech
was probably an individual speculation.

.. Throwing Brio X bats at Hayes and
His Cabinet

Judging by some of the utterances in Con-
greSs, or rather in the Senate, it would seem
that President Hayes already has been as
s gnedtO the IShmaeiitsh position occupied by
John Tyler and Andrew Johnson In the Pres
idential chair. But the question comes up
whether these Outgvings really express pub
lie sentiment. There is certainly nothing in
the tone of the press, or the result in recent
state elections, to show that any profound dis
satisfaction exists with the President and his
Cabinet. OF course it is easy to see that any
revival of the Ku-kluX business in the south,
or other violation of good faith would fire the
northern heart and make the southern policy
odious in a way to delight those who wish to
break down the administration; but the gen.
cral feeling seems to be that the southern peo-
pie are behaving themselves very well, so far,
and are maintaining their pledges OH having
Saf-gOyernment restored to them, both to the
spirit and the letter. Further. there is a dis
position to give the administration a chance
to show what it can accomplish in the way of
reform, and to cOmcede that it has made fair
progress already in that direction. The BOS-
ton Journal expresses this feeling on the part
of both the Independent and republican press,
as thus: The defeat of the $4,000 postal
claim is attributed to Secretary Sherman.
One Cabinet minister exposes bogus claims,
another cares for public domain, and a third
has broken up the custom of paying double
price for work. Still there are those who
grow red in the face while showing that it is
not republican administration"
But more significant expression of opinion
yet Is the following from the Lewiston Jour
nal, Ex-Governor DingleyS paper, paper, as
MIR. Blaine himself will doubtless cOncede, of
the first ability in Maine, and certainly the
beSt-infOrmed and most sd gaciouS exponent of
the republican sentiment of that state:
The truth is that the great body of repub
Means, however many may object to this or
that act of the President look with great
deal of disgust on the course of those leaders
on both sides at Washington who are unneces-
Sar1ly going out of their way 10 throw brick
batSat President Hayes and his cabinet That
may be-aRd probably iS-a popular thing at
Washington: but the 81 eat mass of the voters
away from Washington regard il as entirely
uncalled for. A much larger proportion of
voters in both parties than Congressman are
aware of, overlook the incidental mistakes of
President Hayes, believing that he is infiu-
enced by pure and unSeltiSh motives: that his
aim Is To administer the government in the in
terest of all the people of the whole country
and not In his own interest or that of his par
tlSan followers: and that, instead of concern
ing himself about another term of office he is
trying to do his duty in the present term
