ments among juries, who are now emoar-
rassed BY different individual constructions OF
the law involved IN any given case as nlnch
as they are by varying views as TO the facts
There is something manifestly incongruous
about making twelve men who are not law
ycrs tue Judges Of the law, and thus placing
their ignorance above the learning Of the man
who sits upon the Bench, and has been Sc
]ected for that place because he is believed to
know what the law is.
These arc few of the more urgent re-
forms that should he inaugurated In the
prosecution of criminals in the interest OF
public safety. None Of the;proposed changes
would deprive an accused dperson Of the right
of free and equal Justice guaranteed to him
bv the Constitution. Indeed, the Constltn-
ton expressly provides for "a speedy public
trial by I'LL impartial jury of the county or
district III which the otfense Is alleged to have
been committed" This provision is practl-
cally nulliGcd by the devices and hindranees
which are provided by some Of our criminal
laws and improved by criminal lawyers to
defeat justice, aud thus encourage crime. a
new Legislature is to be elected this
fall. and the revision Of the criminal code
should be one of the pledges required from
the candidates of both parties. The Citizens
Association of this city cannot do better
work for the community than by taking this
matter in charge. They should place them
selves in communication with influential and
public-spirited men in the other Legislative
districts in the State, in order to secure CO.
operation in the desired reform. Opposition
is to be expected from many lawyers, since
the delays and intricacies Of litigation and
technical advantages on the side OF accused
persons increase the opportunities tor legal
services and the excuse for large fees. But
the sanctity of human life aud the protection
Of individual property demand that society
shall have at least equal protection with the
criminals. If the lawyers will not agree to
this the people should prevent them from
controlling the law-naking power.

sous who could not tell one color from another,
who would confuse yellow with red and slate
with burnt umber, and show other signs of chro-
matic insanity too complex to mention, thore

among oculists, the result OF which to the human
race Mt large has been narrowing to degree.
The disease which DIR. Wilson had the amazing
turpitude to show up was nicknnmed Dalton-
ism,-whch was wicked poking Of fun at Dr.
Dalton, an eminent but inoncusivc scientist Of
that day, who was SO afflicted with it that when

two yards Of mnlve bobbinet, he was just rs
apt to return with tnrlatan Of a vivid but un-
suitable green to fill her orders satisfactorily,
and thus bring about state Of do

Recently, to the cruel destruction Of
their peace Of nind Boards have been up
pointed In different parts Of the country to
examine the eyes of pilots and other nautical
persons, with a view to tracing simiIarIties
between them and the esteemed Dr. Dalton;

THE SMOKE NUISANCE AND TIE RAIL-
ROADS

Now that majority of the judiciary Com
mittee have resolved to report favorab!y on
the proposed ordinance for the suppression
of the smoke nuisance, it is to be hoped that
the Council will pass the ordinance prompt
w.. The whole matter has been callVassed
thoroughly before the Committee. 1t has
been demonstrated that the amount OF smoke
can be materially reduced by proper ap-
pliances and proper care, and the health
comfort, and material welfare OF the city de-
mand that this possibility shall be made an
actuality by ordinance. The only opposl-
ton tEat has been shown to the ordinance
has come from those who think it Will m
volve some little additional expense to the1n-
selves. These people are standing IN their
own light. ANY additional expense OF
smoke-consumer, or in the case OF rnllroad
locomotives Of a new tirc-box and the use OF
hard coal or coke within the city limits,
will be saved ten times over in the
course Of one year by the consumption
Of the smoke rs fuel, and the rcduc-
lion in the amount Of coal consumed. IL
is ridiculous to urge that the ordinance Will
be used to annoy the railroads by people who
may entertain grudge against them. II
such ait objection were permitted to govern
police regulations and health ordinances,
there would be no protection against public
nuisances. The fact is, that the proposed
ordinance, and the Health Officers acting
under it, will assist the railroad managers III
compelling their engineers to burn smoke
and save fuel, and will thus be in the interest
Of the corporations as well as Of the public
generally The law will not be valid it it
exempt the railroad locomotives, nor should
they be exempted. It cannot reasonably be
maintained that this city should continue
to suffer from nuisance that destroys the
good appearance Of its costly buildings and
does an annual damage amounting to m11l-
ions of dollars, in order to save the railroads
the expense Of II smoke-consunler or Il new
tlre-box in each of their locomotives. CHI
cago will be the brighter, handsolner, aud
healthier, and the railroads will be the gall
ers, by the proposed abatement Of the smoke
nuisance. a common interest i'll the pros
perity and growth of Chicago should induce
| the managers of all railroads that centre
here to encourage every movement which
promises to make this city more attractive to
people who live elsewhere. The smoke ordi-
| nance will contribute to tits end in greater
degree just now than dhy other practicable
reform.
