THE EVER STING ROTHS-
CHILD CASE.

The Court of Appeals, Justice Clark
writing the opinion, remanded the case
of Rothschild. The action was based
upon the preconceived opinion of a
juror who sat upon the case. The
opinion says the court recognized the
rule that the action of the lower
court, in passing upon the qualifications
of juror, should not be reviewed ex-
cept IN a clear case. In our judg-
ment the juror, as his testi-
moDy shows, entertained no opin-
ion of guilt, had any evidence been
produced to prove his opinion of guilt
improperly founded. H. stated this
much positively, and we produce the
examination of the juror, that our
readers may decide whether the juror,
Saunders by name, had an opinion that
would have led him to do an injustice
upon the evidence presented in the
trial. His opinion on the evidence
was exactly that of eleven other jurors
who formed their opinions upon the
same evidence that Saunders says he
formed his opinion upon. Here is the
evidence of Saunders before the Court
of Appeal:
@ Would we have to introduce
evidence to change your opinion, or
would you still entertain that opinion
and act on itl
A. If the evidence comes in the
same as / have heard, of course l
would believe 1t.
@. What l want to know is this
You say you have an opinion; would
you change that opinion if we were to
Introduce some testimony to show the
man was not guilty2
A. Yes sir, l suppose so.
Q. II we did not do that, your
opinion is formed cOnclusively!
A. II the evidence is the same as
have heard il.
@. Then you have made that opln-
ion an estAl lished opinion, granting
! -.I------ ~ $500,
A. Yes sir. ''''
q. Ii 1t is not, you will change
your opinions
A. Yes sir.
Q. Unless you hear some thing else,
you will maintain the opinion you
hsve2
A.-Yes SIR.
After which the juror stated, in re-
ply to question from the court, that
if what he had heard was true, then he
had an opinion; then if 1t was not true,
he should not go by it. And thereupon
the court again overruled the challenge
for cause, and the defendant challenged
peremptoIly; but having exhausted
his peremptory challenges, the juror
was sworn and took his seat upon the
jury. 1t may be added that the defend
ant was forced to resort to bis perem.
tory challenges in the case of several
other jurors, whose answers had de-
veloped state of opinion equally as
positive as that of this juror.

REGARDING the Dallas Herald Com
merciars scare about Gould's purpose
to build a railroad from Dsnlson via
San Antonio to Mexico, by way of the
lower Rio Grande, by which Hon. J ohm
81. Cochran was frightened out of his
boots, and the Herald Commercial made
so sad, because Dallas might be left
out in the cold, the Dallas Times says:
Gould's great object seems to be to
control the trans-contInenta trade. He
is already heavily interested in the Pa
cifc lines. Lately he has been making
an active effort to secure control of q
connecting line between ST. Louis and
the Atlantic seaboard. He also real

bic. He sees thst Huntington's APP
proach to the Rio Grande must and will
be met by the construction of line
from the East. Hence, he has lately
joined hands with the Texas and Pa
cific company, and by obtaining the
first mortgage bonds Of the projected
extension Go be built at the expense of
others) be will exercise sufficient con-
troll over it to prevent competition with
his more Northern Pacific. Ia
other words, Gould, in connee-
ton with Huntington and 9TH
erS is making 9 gigantic effort
to perpetuate the enormously profitable
Pacific monopoly. His purchase of
the Wabash, the NJ. K. and T., and
his combination with the Texas and
Pacific, all line out his purpose so
plainly, that il IS difficult 10 beheYe

THE GRAIN BLOCKADE AND
PROBABLE WHEAT AND COT
TON PRICES.

In connection with the great grain
blockade in Chicago, Mr.. Rufus
Hatch, who it appears, is reported as
authority concerning crop movements
and crop prices, has been giving his
views to the public. He says the
wheat crop has been over estimated in
many places. In Minnesota the local
press made boast OF about 40, 000, 900
Of bushels. when in reality it turned
out to be only $4,000, 900; yet the ag-
gregate crop throughout the Union has
been superb one, and its quality
excellent. % the other hand, the
crop on the other side Of the Atlantic
has been very small and the quality
very poor, and had It not been that
much grain has been shipped from this
side there would at this time be q
widespread famine in Europe. The
farmers of this country, it is estimated.
have already placed so per cent. of the
wheat crop In market, and 1t is also
said that Great Britain and the
continental nations yet need sew
enty or eighty millions Of
bushels more than can be calculated
upon fIom the wheat producing re-
gions OF the world. Since We have
but little more to send abroad, these
Europeans win, evidently, before an
other crop can Be produced, resort to
some other kind OF food. Under the
most favorable circumstance thinks
Mr.. Hatch, with these surroundings
the price Of wheat, before the next
