mind that the present time is very suitable ocea-
sion for the Taxpayers to make some general ex-
pressions upon the subject Of bond compromise.
Many persons may not be aware that the law has
been changed, permitting the Board to compromise
Mt any figure below par value of the bonds
Though this law was passed at the instigation OF
the Board of County Commissioners, yet IT was, we
understand. upon the distinct assurances and under
standing with parties who controlled about sl75OOo
Of the bonds, that they would compromise at a sta
ted sum, little above fifty per cent, if law was
passed authorizing compromises at such figures.
Now, We understand those parties go back on it

JURIEs.-J Just now, juries in liquor proseeu-
tions are being leetured and abused for not
bringing in verdicts Of guilty, when the evidence
is strongly that way. As we have several times
remarked, a common clodhopper jury is bigger
man than the Supreme Court. They have the
decision of the question, and outsiders have no
right to dictate to them, or impugn their honesty
When the Court gives his instructions to jury,
he tells them what the law on the subject is
and then informs them that they are the judges
of the evidence and of the credibiity of witness
es. Ifjuries feel inclined to doubt the credibili-
ty of any Of the witnesses, it is their right. If
Gov. st. John and half dozen preachers should
swear that they saw the defendant sell whiskey,
the jury have right to believe that these wit
nesses swore falsely, and to render verdict of
acquittal. A juror can believe that witness is
lying, even if his evidence is not impeached. lie
is allowed to have a reasonable dOubt, and every
man has his own standard of reason. Jures are
a mighty power. We repeat, they are bigger
man than the Supreme Court.

NEW YoRK.-A large majority of the Republi,
can members of the Legislature have held
caucus, and nominated Messrs. Miller and lap
ham for Senators. The Conkling men still refuse
to vote for them, and thus, according to their
own doctrine, become bOlters. But, in their
caucus nominations, the Republicans exhibited
poor policy. The nominees are both members
elect of the next Congress, and their election to
the Senate would vacate their Offices If the
Democrats should chance to elect their success
ors, or any dispute should arise to keep Republi-
members ont Of their seats until after the or
ganization of Congress, it would be apt to give
the Democrats the organization. This action
comes under the head of what we have hereto

other should be piled upon them, to the neglect

United States Senators, without weakening some
vital point in order to choose men who are al
ready elected to the Lower House.

AFTER MANY YEARs.-The year 1892 was a
memorable one in the history of Spain. In that
year, Columbus, under Spanish auspices, discov-
cred America; the Spaniards completed the con-
quest of Granada, and drove out the Moors,
after centuries of war; and the Jews were ex-
PEELED from Spain. The expulsion of the Jews
was intended as a special thanksgiving to God,
for the victory over the Infidels. The entire
Jewish population of Spain was compelled to go
forthwith, leaving everything behind that could
not readily be packed away, and the greatest
distress was their lot. 1t is now towering on the
verge of four hundred years since that event.
The Jews are being banished from Russia, and
Spain has invited the exiles to that country. In
that four hundred years, Spain has dwindled
from one of the most powerful and wealthy ma
tions of the earth to one of the weakest and
poorest. Is she going to retrace tine four centu-
ries, and commence to climb up againf

that the last Legislature enacted just as strIn-

Since that time, there has been great reaction
against prohibition, instead Of a growing ieeifns

eonstabulary were established, and stringent

law be enforced any better! As long rs public
