A Rule That Should Work Both
Ways.

As the Democrats have inauguratei
the policy Of dissecting iuries and
classifying them according to the
shades Of their Political opinions the
GAZETTE may be excused if it should
hereafter follow in their illustrious
footsteps. They must rise and ex-
plain what is the difference in the
drawing Of juries between disc-imina-
ting against race on account of its
color and discriminating against men
On acssunt Of their politics.
The Democratic petition for the re-
moval Of Jury Observation-Disclosures
after formidable array of figures
laid great stress on the statement that
the Petit Jury contained only two
spotless Democrats. Not debating the
justice of their appeal, their pray
er having been granted by the Court,
let us recognize it as an established
rule. 1t is rule which if It dses not
work both ways is poor one, and ex.-
poses its makers to be selfish and
blindly Indifferent to the rights of 9TH
ers. For if in court presided over
by Repu blican Judges their PRAYER is
heard and jury commissioner ap-
pointed af.er their faith how can they
consistently refuse when like appeal
is mode to them, whether as regards
ajury or the organization Of any other
body having under its control matters
that affect the rights and interests Of
the people.
It is q notorious fact that the Dem
