Something In Favor Of tho Jury Sys.
- = tenn.

On some questions of aw the judges
are very apt to be right; on others they
set one another right after awhile, al
though it takes course of years and
costs something to do it. But we OBJ
tect to having any man elected over US
to decide ''facts'' for US for q term of
years. We object to board of three
or five such men. " Facts have proved
the ruin and overthrow of more judges
than were ever slaughtered by hard
work or ill-ventilated court rooms.
Lord Bacon was great enough so long
as he confined himself to expounding
the law. 1t was not until he snccumbed
to the temptations which beset him in
the shape of ''facts'' that he became
the " meanest of mankind" s>
The jury gives . prompt decision.
1t is q notorious fact that Judges who
take causes home for decision rarely
bring them back until an interval Of
weeks or even months has cooled the
controversy and perhaps robbed it of
its fruits. II every case were tried be-
fore q jury and all questions of fact
eliminated on the spot, no Judge could
ask long delay for the consideration
Of the points submitted by counsel.
Another advantage Of juries over
judges for the trial Of questions Of fact
is that-in large cities, at least they
do not usually know either the parties
or their counsel. Something near to
strict impartiality may, therefore, oc-
casionallY be attained. Every young
lawyer has felt this when called upon
to cope with some older antagonist
long entrenched in the confidence and
esteem of the court, their friendship
cemented perhaps by social or family
or political ties. Such influences as
these are the most dangerous because
the most subtle and the most penetrat-
ing. The best Of Judges are effected
by them without knowing it. .y- 81.
For downright common sense, un.
sophisticated by too much learning,
and for that sort of shrewdness which
discerns the truth hidden in the bowels
Of : complicated dispute, commend US
to = jury Of twelve plain men Of affairs
1t is typical of our democratic institu-
tions, typical and also part and parcel
OF that larger jury before which every
man Is being constantly tried for all Of
his acts, and he may as we'll bring him-
self to it first as last. They will Judge
him in the end, anyhow. He may
humbug . tribunal OF e''three to five
judges" for . while into false opin-
ion 0f him, but it is the jury of bis
peers who in the last analysis win make
or mar him. They will do it ont of
court If not allowed to do it in court;
and he had better have it done in an
orderly manner and according to, law
whenever an occasion ariscs.-E. r.

The invention of that Superior and
Complete Sewing Machine The Fami-
ly Sewing Machine,) marks one of the
most important eras in the history of
machinery, and when we consider its
great usefulness and extremely low
price ($25). it s very difficult to con-
ceive of any invention for domestic use
of more or even equal Importance to IA
miles. It has great capacity for work;
beautiful, smooth, and quiet move
ment, rapid execution, certainty and
delightful ease of operation, that at
once c0mmends it above all others.
The working parts are all steel, strong
and durable, and will last a life time;
the bobbin hold 100 yards of thread;
the stitch is the firmest of all the
stitches made, neat aud regular, and
can be regulated in q moment to sew
stitches from an inch in lenght on
coarse material down to the finest, so
infinitesimal as to be hardly discern
able with the naked eye, and with Il
rapidity rendering it, impossible to
count them ms fast rs made;3 it has
moro attachments than any 9TH
er, and it does to perfection all kinds
of heavy, coarse, plain, fine, or fancy
needle.work with ease, and far less
labor thanreq equired on other machines.

sales, increasing demand, and volun-

alas! too late. Fired with vengeance

THE GOLD Brick swINDLE.


Kansas City special TO the New York Herald.
One of the principals Of tho big
gest confidence games ever success
fully manipulated in the West was
arrested in this city last night. Yes
terday morning there arrived in this
city an old white,haired gentleman,
who went direct to the police station
after alighting FROM the train. lie
was clcsetod awhile with Chief
sjpeers, and then left the station
The object of the old mans visit was
to cause the arrest Of man who had
swindled him out of $4,000. The
old gentleman's name is N. d. Clark

occupation, President Of the First
National Bank of that place. Mr..
Clark went to Leadville some weeks
ago to look after some mining prop
erty that he owned. While walking
along the streets there, few days
ago, he was approached by party Of
five men apparently miners who
made his acquaintance, and after a
few minutes conversation, asked him
to advance them some money on iif
ty-two pound gold brick, saying
that they were not ready to ship It
at the time, and the alleged owner
Of the brick also put up pitifnl
story of having lost all his property
and must have money. The old gen
tleman had plenty of money and
thought he saw a chance to make q
spec Mr.. Clark consented to adj
vance the sum asked, provided the
brick was genuine.
The brick was taken into black
smith shop, corner cut of, taken to
an essayist and pFonouced pure gold.
The old gentleman was satisfied,
went into a bank, drew a check for
$4,000, passed the money over to
the man who had the brick, received

owner Of the brick should go East

brick, less reasonable sum for the
money advanced Mr.. Clark and the
brick owner left Leadville together
for the Eas', aud at Burlington,
Iowa. by some means or other, he
was induced to advance $4,000
more. The owner of the brick then
jumped the train aud left for parts
unknown. Upon arriving at Chicago
the brick was examined and found
to be q fraud Of The first water -
While the four corners of it were
gold, the body was made up OF a

and gave description to the Chief
of Police Of the man who had de-
frauded him.

a LUCKY $50 BILL.
Chicago Times:

A very interesting story of the
present wheat speculation has just
come to light and 10 looking it up
on yesterday the Times reporter
found to be thoro IghIy authentic.
A lawyer of more knowledge than
practice, who is a junior partner in
a well known legal firm, was coming
east over Madison street bridge to
the city one morning within tho
past two weeks, just where the
bridge abuts upon tho pier he espied
a greenback, and upon picking it up
he found it to be a $50 bill With
this lucky fnd he was tempted to
take zeal in wheat, and commenc
ed in a small way in one of the
bucket,shops The days winnings
brought him few hundred, and
next morning he noticed in the pa
per the advertisement Of the owner
of the lost $50 bill. The fnder took
that sum from bis pile and did not
disdaiu to receive 50 reward which
the owner paid bin upon recovering
his money,
With the money made upon the
start the lawyer continued to speca'
late little more ambitiously through
a broker, and he sold out and got
out of the wheat game entirely on
the comfortable profit of $500, the
result of the finding Of that So
bill.
