In our article upon the "Trial by Jury"
in last weeks paper, we stated that
We were under the impression that
the jury trial is at presen. limited to
Great Britain and the United States, In
which the English common law is in force.
Further investigation has led to the infor-
nation that such is not the case 1t is at
present in operation in Germany, France,
and perhaps in other European govern
ments whose Jurisprudence is modelled az
ter the Roman civil law. Its present ex-
istence in those countries, however, does
not seem to be due to perpetuation of
the similar institution in the early history
Of the Roman law, but rather to the bor-
rowing of the institution from the English
law. In France, and probably in some OF
the other continental European govern
ments in which it is in force, the unani-
nous consent of the jury to the fading of
verdict is not required. Some promi-
nent lawyers and enlightened public think
ers in this country to-day are of opinion
that the trial by jury is one of the relics
of feudal barbarism, descending to our re-
public along with the English law. which
is unsuited to our system of government.
While the prepondsrance of enlightened
public sentiment will probably not accept
that proposition to its full extent, there is
no doubt that the WEIGHT Of oniniop re
CARDS that feature of the institution which
enables a single obstinate or corrupt juror
to shield the vilest criminal from prompt
punishment, and to defeat just claim or
indefinitely protract litigation thereon, as
such barbarous relic, which should no
longer be recognized in free government
except in history. There can be no doubt
that the day is not distant when the trial
by jury will be shorn of this absurd and
antiquated feature.

A good story is told on Representative
Blackburn, Of Kentucky, by one of his friends
He says that when Mr.. Blackburn came to
Washington post-haste last week to protest
against the abolition of one of the internal rev.
enue districts of Kentucky he came in light
marching order On his arrival here he tel
sgraphed home for his wearing apparel. His
little ten-year-old daughter, who was in charge,

New York Tribune.

A thrifty looking courtryman, prob.
ably sixty years Of age, bent on seeing
all that was on view in the shop win
dows and the streets, attracted a large
crowd when he reached Murray street
and Broadway recently. A young man
dressed in the hight of fashion and
wearing a tall silk hat, walked mp TO the
countryman and putting ont his hand
in a friendly manner, said:
How do. Mr.. Davis? Glad 10 Sec
you. How's the folks Mt homer"
The couutryman looked over the
young man carefully, and, being salts
fed that he could take care of himself,
made a movement as If he Was about TO
grasp the young mans hand. bat in
stead Of 50 doing he took him by the
coat collar, faced him about 30 that he
looked upon City Hall Park, held him
firmly in position and then gave him a
kick which sent him sprawling into the
street Another young man, evidently
friend of the assaulted youth, rushed
up and demanded TO know the trouble.
The countryman had become warmed
up by this time, and endeavored 70 in
dict Punishment on No. 2, bat he es-
capped. The countryman then quietly
walked away, muttering 10 himself: II
