A New York Court in murder cases
draws ferty;eight jurors who are duly
sworn to Try the case. When the case
is submitted, the Court draws by lot
twelve jurors from the box and sends
them into the jury room to deliberate
II they find a verdict, that settles The
case, but in case they disagree, twelve
more are drawn from the remaining
jurors, and so on until verdict is re
turned or the jurors exhausted. This
method of disposing of murder cases at
one trial is commended, the only objec-
ton being the great expense attend
ing it.

Some people have been uncharitable enough
to blame Babcock for falling in love with
"the sylph" while he was participating in
the profits of the whisky ring, and she was
manipulating it, but if she was half as love-
ly as Gen. Mcdonald describes her, Babcock
was not at all to blame. Indeed 1t was his
duty to pay court at her shrine, and having
met her he could not, if he would, resist the
magic of her charms. Gen. Mcdonald,
though long ago disillusioned, thus describes
the fair one, in his recent book on the &C.
crets of the whisky ring:
Most beautiful of face. with eyes of deep
est azure. in whose depths the suubeams SEEM
ed tn gather, and the fires of love from flames
of Pickering constancy, seemed ever and anon
to melt into love itself. Her hair was like
threads of gold and silver blended, and when
she loosed her locks, they fell like the simmer
of sunlight. and quivered like the glover the
moon throws on the water. She was the essence
of grace, distilled from the buds of perfeo-
ton, and with a tongue on which the oil of
vivacity and seduction never ceased running;
she was, indeed. a sylph and siren, whose pres
ence was like the fAvor of the poppy mingled
with the perfumes of Araby.

Hans Mas.son Gsves 1t On.


The Swedish Republican newspaper in
Minnesota, the Stats Tidning, has in its
leading article of September 2, the following
very despairing appeals to its readers:
ATTENTION REPUBLICANS.
Speaking of the present strife between the
Republican and Democratic parties of this
country it will not do to tacitly overlook that
everywhere in the Republican ranks
it is recognized fact that
there is q "sickly outlook" for the party
which for the last twenty years has directed
the interests of this country.
We notice among the Republicans GER
tain careiessness, while on the other side in
Democratic quarters an altogether un-
common enthusiasm prevails. The
former take it as If the
victory was certain or as il they
would willingly give the prize to the latter.
The reason for this deadlike idleness among
the Republicans we cannot 90 quickly ascer-
tain.
There must be some reason for this Re-
publican inactivity. In the political world
as in the natural there is day and night,
food and tide, action and reaction. In other
words the party, like the person, has its bril-
liant and dark moments.
Perhaps the Republican party has politi-
cal eclipse at the present time. Has the
hitherto strong hope been overthrow. We
hear old Republican heroes express hopeless
opinions about the future of the party, and
young men are doubtful here, and refuse
there to placs themselves under the flag that
was carried at the head of the largest politi-
cal army of the nineteenth century.
Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1880-09-06

ACCORDING to tho Republican papers all
Democrats were disloyal during the war,
and are disloyal still. Yet it appears from
the records Of the war department. that
more than half of the voting population +.
the Democratic States of Missouri, Tennes
zee, Delaware, Kentucky, and West Virginia,
entered the Union army, and many thou
sands sacrificed their lives on the field of
battle. As those who survived refused to
vote the Republican ticket, they are yet de
nominated rebels, while the stay t-homes
are regarded as the most loyal of the loyal.
Patriotism, according to the Republican
lexicon, consists in voting the Republican
ticket, nothing more.

The comparison by the Democratic papers of
the attempted assassination of Judge Page
with Southern outrages, which 1t is claimed
Northern Republicans greatly magnify, has
this difference: those who commit such outrag-
es in the North are followed up and punished.
while in the South if man shoots . white or
black Republican, if arrested at all, Is sure to
be released by the oourts.-St. Peter Tribune.
Please tell us when the man or men who
attempted to assassinate Judge Page was ar
rested. Also advise rs what Republican Of
foial has made the least effort to discover
the Austin assassin. That is Republican
county, the officers of the county are Repub-
lican, the governor of the State is Republic
can. Still there has been no official action
taken and no reward offered for the assassin
except that made by private citizens. This
is the way Republican officials follow up Re-
publican Ku-Klux in the Northern State of
Minnesota.

All of which leads us to remark that it is
reasonably cool, thank You" for the st. Paul
chamber of commerce to prepare two sawdust
bills, send one to Mr. Dnnuell and the other to
Senator McMillan, and Afterwards pitch into
Mr.. Washburn on the subject, no matter what
the result was. We however predict the early
passage of the bill, perhaps in a slightly modi.
fed form.-Minneapolis Lunberman.
The reason why the st. Paul chamber of
commerce did not send direct to Washburn
is because they knew he was traitor to
this part of his district and could not be
trusted. He had proved his treachery too
often to have any confluence reposed in him.
The way to treat the bride giver and corrup-
ZIONIST is to knock his political brains out in
November. Meantime he has no position or
influence at Washington and his advocacy
of bill is the most damaging thing possible.
1t creates the impression at once that there
is some Job or steal connected with it.

were votes cast for Abraham Lincoln. That
shows while the men who voted for Lincoln
did not fight for him, the men who voted
against him rallied to the defense of the

THE New York E0ensng Post says that
not word was heard from the Democratic
or Southern side unfriendly to Mosby as q
soldier until he chose to unite with the Re
publican party. True. But great many
Democratic bullets were sent in search of
him during the time he was fighting, in or
der to qualify him for chief place in the
tabernacle Of the Republican saints.

TEE Republicans of South Carolina
what few of them remains-have deter
mined that they will not put a State ticket
in the field this year. If, as consequence,
the Democrats have nearly unanimous

can papers as an evidence of the bulidozing
tendencies of the Southern people.

His record is that of an upright, honest

and Offices which the people of his own

He is no Office seeker; he is good attorney;
