Effect Upon Europe Of the Discovery
OF America.

The voyage of Columbus in 1892 was
in many respects the greatest event
which had occurred in the world since
the birth of Christ. Politically and So
cially it was the beginning of an entire
" new chapter in human history, and
it wrought effects upon mems specula-
tive thinking which, though perhaps
less conspicuous, were not less real or
remarkable. In much more than the
mere geographical sense was, is
the discovery of the New World. It
was the first in complicated series of
events which four centuries have not
vet fully rounded into period: The
foundation of a new Europe in Ameri-
ca, in Africa, in Australia and in the
islands of the Pacific; the rise of the
English race to political and CONNER
cial supremacy. and the advance OF the
English language toward what may be-
come universal dominion; the reorgani-
zation of government upon higher
plane than the Middle Ages had ever
been able to forshadow; the renovation
of society in the. old Europe through
countless subtle Influences; the perma-
nent triumph of the industrial over the
predatory spirit; the successful asser-
ton of individual freedom against the
paralyzing absolutism, inherited from
the Roman Empire; the overthrow of
sacerdotalism and the Christianization
of the world. 1t would probably be
too much to assert that some of these
desirable results might not have been
attsined, so far as the old Europe is
concerned, even if the lands beyond the
sea had never been explored and col.
onized. It is unquestionable, however,
that the progress would have been much
slower and much more subject to inter.
ruption. The part performed by England,
| for example, in the work of European civ.
ilization since the age of Elizabeth has
been so immense and so complicated
that no elaborateness of analytic de-
scription can do it justice. Yet En-
gland in Elizabeth's time was hardly $
frst-class power, and but for the col
| onizatiOn of America in the seventeenth
century it is difficult to see in what way
she would SO surely or 50 soon have
gained the commercial supremacy
which gave her in the eighteenth tn
dominion of the ocean, and thus secured
her the foremost position in the world
To those-and there are many such il
America-who are in the habit of re
garding American history IS dry ant
undressing study, it may be profita
BILE matter of reflection that since tn
beginning of the seventeenth centur,
it is impossible to follow intelligent,
the affairs of the old Europe through {
single generation without constant ref
erence to the New World.-John Ftske

Our old friend, Hon. Matt. Lagan,
of New Orleans, got his Irish up, the
other day, and made spirited and
persistent charge with his umbrella,
on Administrator 3. T. Walshe, who
finally retreated in good order, while
endeayoring to parry the blows with
his own trustyrain shield. 1t was well
that the battle royal was not fought
at the Capital city, else a forced loan
offfty ducats, would have been levied
from each of the combatauts, to aug
meut the Redemption Fund Of the
Capitol loan.

naval department yard should be es-
tablished at that city urging that Baton
Rouge is already provided with mag
azines and costly barracks, and that
the place is invariably healthy.-N.
0. Times.
The Times ought to know that we
have every reason to suggest Baton
Rouge as the best place on the Mis-
sissippi, whereat to establish the pro-
posed Naval Yard and Depot.
When the people Of New Orleans
are navigating in skiffs through its
streets, the residents Of Baton Rouge
are walking on high and dry ground,
on a plateau which the Almighty has
placed fully ninety feet above the
level where their metropolitan cousins
wade through mud and water.
Baton Rouge is more centrally loca-
ted than New Orleans. Soon it will
have railway connection, through the
N. O. Pacific, with lower Louisiana
and with North Louisiana, Texas, the
Pacific and Western States; then
through Ponchatoula and the Chicago
and st. Louis road, with the Eastern
and Northern States. And we have
the strongest kind of hopes that the
day is not far distant when al air line
railway through the great lumber
producing counties of East Louisiana,
Mississippi and Alabama will unite us
through Ponchatoula, with Mobile.
Baton Rouge has one hundred feet
of deep water in its front, at the low
est stage of the Mississippi. 1t is sit
uated but 1870 miles above New Or
leans; just a few hours runfor asteam
ship. 1t will be happy to give build
ing accommodations on high, healthy
ground, to any numbersof thousands
of new inhabitants.
Now we come to those splendid
barracks, magazines, storehodses and
officers quarteIs, belonging to the O.
S. Government. which are located Oh
the most beautiful site imaginable,
right adjoining too, to the Garrison
Bayou; an indentation which can be
made, at small cost, a perfect land
locked basin and ship yard, spacious
enough to contain and shelter a flee,
against storms or the attack Of an
enemy,
What has Alsiers to offer for
navy yard, save an open roadstead,
big settlement across it, and a cavine
bank along its own front?
If the Times doubts the correctness
of what we claim. are the infinitely
superior advantages Of Baton Rouge
lover Algiers, let one of its gifted re
portcrs come up here for day ant
wen satisfy him completely.
We haye no desire to remove New
Orleans up to the Capital, because
great city will spring up there, any
how, within very few years.
What we do ask. is, that the Fed
eral Government shall not overlook
that Which any man with a level hea'
ought to see at glance.
It's on the natural advantages
which we have infinitely described
that we do our Dragging.

THE JURY FARCE.

Law-abiding citizens throughout
the State are expressing their disgust
at the ways with which the ends OF
justice are being constantly defeated
by the juries formed under the pres
ent system.
A jury trial now days is nothing
short of an open and shut game. The
attorneys entrusted with the defense
of o prisoner are allowed to turn aside
twelve persons, whose only disquali-
fication is that they appear to be con-
scientious and intelligent men, while
the States Attorney can object to but
six of the "hard casesn whom the de-
tenders of the criminals manage to
have brought up as talesmen.
The very best citizens are exc used
from serving on q jury upon the plea
that having heard the particulars
about the case, they have already
made up their minds, when every
murderous or felonious act is matter
which the newspapers and common
talk have made one of public notorie-
tv. known to every man, woman or
child in the district.
Others are dismissed because they
claim to be opposed to capital pun
ishment.
The jurors who are selected by the
jury commissioners, before each term
of court, are the very ones who dO
not serve on the juries, owing to the
himsy excuses to which the laws give
countenance.
When the attorneys for the defense,
who know the character of almost
every man who is broughtup to serve
as a juror-have made sure that they
have secured on the jury a sufficient
number of "birds Of the same feather
as the accused, then the form of a
trial takes place; and it matters not
how strong the evidence may be, nor
how zealously the prosecuting attor-
ney or the Judge may do their duty,
the criminal is either discharged, or
-mistrial upon mistrial occurs, till he
is hnally turned loose, again to prey
upon society, and, in due time, reap
near to do a good turn, as q juror
himself, in behalf of some one after
his own heart.
The effect Of all this is, that such a
thing as security for life and prop
erty does not exist, and law abiding
men are compelled to make walking
arsenals of themselves, in self pro-
lection against the brigands who
laugh at the law and have no otter
fear than the bodily harm which may
befall them in an encounter with q
courageous citizen.
1t is plain that the force of public
opinion is inadequate to check an evil
which is sapping at the very founda
tons of society.
TO prevent the increasing ffeqaen
CIV Of crime and to check the demon
alization that accompanies it, on
jury laws must be revised, so that
exemption from such duty may be abo
ished, and challenges of attorney;
made valid, only upon the decision 0
the Judge, when specific and jus
charges are preferred against the per
son offered as % Juror, ny conSclentiou
Jury commissioners.
In plain terms, until plan is de
vised by which the hoodlums can b
kept out of the jury box, crime vii
be q distinction instead Of a stigma
tt is the law alone that is to blame
not the attorneys, who in servin
their clients, pick out the hoodlums
nor the hoodlums who help the bird
of their feather out of what they sim
ply term "a scrape."
