PREN:1s ON RAILROAD LEGISLATION

Noble Prentis, Of the Atehison Champion,
after commenting the action OF the Legisla-
ture in instructing the Attorney General to
institute quo werraato proceedings to ascer-
tain why the Kansas Pacific has failed to
comply with the laws Of the State, proceeds
ut some length To air himself on the railroad
question generally. He says:
II do not, somehow, believe this Ligisla-
ture Is going to grapple in life and death
struggle with the vast railroad corporations.
The Legislature reminds one Of the fine old
southern gentleman's objection to beer; he
didn't like it, because he wanted something,
he said, that would ''rise and grapple him by
the throat" don't think this is q ssthrot-

OUR JURY SYSTEM.

ANT in the statement Of the Boston Port, that
"a jury is body organized for the purpose
of deciding which side In a lawsuit has the

critics is great boon, but 1t cant always be

that justice ms meted out by the average

adieu to all and passed to th1t shore where
sickness, pain and sorrow are unknown.
