VIEWS OF CENTRAL RAILROAD MEN

At the Grand Central Depot yesterday everybody
was talking about she accident. Incoming passen-
gers were surrounded the moment they came out OF
the building and closely questioned for the latest
news from the scene OF the wreck. In the forenoon
the greatest anxiety shown to who the I'M
claimed dead were. But after midday. when all
but one OF the bodies had been identified, people
became caImer aud began to make inquiries rs to
who was responsible. The employees Of the COM
pany about the depot expressed ignounce as to
every topic upon which they were questioned.
They refused to give any definite information about
anything and what they said in a general way
turned out upon investigation to be incorrect. One
of the men. when asked why be would not talk

NOTES OF THE DAY.

The pulpits resound every Sunday
with assaults on polygamy. Some
OF the preachers want the government
to send big army out TO Utah and

The government has no authority to

enormity OF polygamy.

OUR MODERN yEHM.GER1cHr.

OUR MODERN VEHM-GERICHT.
Every now and then we find some
newspaper berating the grand jury
system. No longer than last week
two OF our state exchanges had arti-
cles dcnouncing the grand jury as a
monumental fraud, and urging that II
should be legislated out of existence.
One is compelled 10 admit there are
ample grounds for such dissatisfac-
iion, but the difficulty is that no mau
or set Of men has yet had the cour-
'ge TO move for q reform. The grand
jury comes down to Us through cen-
tunes OF history, bcasting of its
Anglo-SaXon origin. We have i'm
bedded il in our national constitution
and in the organic law of every state.
ISavOring more of the ancient Vehm-
Gericht Of Germany than anything
else one can think OF, it has yet fixed
itself in the public mind as the very
palladium of civil liberty, claiming
equal prestige with the writ of babeas
corpus. Every sensible man who has
ever devoted attention to the work
ings of the grand jury system, knows
there is q vast deal of arrsnt hnmbug
about it. As we use it i'll this coun-
try it Is too often the instrument of
| private persecution, than the strong
arm of justice, as it should be. An
ex-parte body, designing rogues
have been able to use it TO blacken
the character of honest and innocent
men. The theory upon which it il
founded is correct enc, and if car.
ried out in practice would be good
enough. 1t is real boon that no cit
izen shall be tried for his lite or lib,
