FlsEAKS OF JURIEs.


Shiel, in his inimitable sketches OF the
Irish bar, tells Of the verdict of Glare
jury, in case Of "felonious gallantry."
They acquitted the prisoner of the capt.
tai charge, but found him guilty of "a
great undacency." r. Shelton Macken-
sie, in his notes to Shells text, says
"This is nothing to the verdict of
Welsh jury: Not guilty-but we rec.
ommend him not to do it again. ,"
Mackenzie also relates that an English
jury, not very bright, having prisoner
before them charged with burglary, and,
being unwilling to convict him capitally,
as no personal violence accompanied the
robbery, gave the safe verdict: "Guilty
of getting out of the window" BE
adds that the most original was that OF
an Irish jury before whom prisoner
pleaded guilty, throwing himself on the
mercy of the court. The verdict was !:
"Not guilty" The Judge, in surprise,
exclaimed : "Why, he has confessed his
crime!" The foreman responded : "Ah,
my Lord, you do not know that fellow,
but we do. He is the most-notorious
liar in the whole country, and no twelve
men who know his character can believe
word that he says" And, as the jurors
adhered to their verdict, the /" liar" es-
capped.
J. W. Edmunds reported to the Al
bany LaaU Journal of June Is, 1870, a
murder trial, which took place in New
York city, and in which he appeared for
the accused some thirty years before by
appointment of the court. The defen-
dant was young woman who, leaving
poor parents in New Jersey, went to
New York city, and obtained place as
waiter in restaurant. She met and mar
ried young butcher boy, but kept at
work until her pregnancy compelled her
to desist, when she went to her parental
home to be confined. When she re-
turned to her husbands lodgings in New
York city, she found them vacant and her
own effects packed of. It was case OF
heartless dessrtion. She discovered him
at slaughter-house talking to woman,
who wore at the moment what she
recognized as her, the defendants, best
dress, which she had bought with her
own earnings before marriage. He re-
fused to talk with her. The next morn
ing he was seen to take profered cake
from the hands Of a young woman,
| divide it with some companions, and in
few hours was dead, his companions
being taken very sick, but surviving.
The police, investigating the matter,
found that the deceased had three wives.
or rather three women who supposed
| themselves his wives. All three were
arrested, but two were speedily released,
as our heroine admitted that she had
done the business. The case for the do.
tense was weak, but after only few
| minutes absence the jury returned With
verdict of not guilty. The prisoners
counsel asked one Of the jurors on what
ground she was acquitted. eft served
him right" was the answer.

BROTHERHOOD.

"There, boy, is big penny for you ;
now go home and say your prayers like
a Christian" said the plethoric to the
lean on the avenue,
"And what prayer shall say1' asked
little lean.
"Say Our Father which art in heav-
en-, replied plethoric.
"And is He our father-yours and
mine too?"
"Most assuredly."
"Then are you my big brother?"
"Of course I am"
Then little man looked up and asked
the question which even religion Cant
compel any man to answer "Aren't
you ashamed of yourself to offer you,
poor little brother a penny when you
have plenty, and you know he is most
starved to death?"

NINETY thousand dollars were paid into the
treasury of Cincinnati, for liquor license, the
first day after the Scott law was held valid,
and the total revenue to be received from
$500, 00O At the same time the traffic is put
under rigid regulations, and those engaged
in it rendered liable for all violations. This
old regime of free whisky, and the better
classes of all parties in Ohio are beginning to
view the matter in the same way. The doc
trine OF refusing bread because you can't get
a whole loaf is exploded.

''IF it is good thing to have absolute free
trade between Texas and New York. why
not between Texas and Mexico. or between
New York and Canada? Undoubtedly the
benefits would be of exactly the same char
ter."-Louisville Courier-Journal
A slight difference lies in the fact that the
people OF New York and of Texas pay taxes
to the same government and as each in
creases in wealth is the other benefited
We are members of the same family and it
would be singular family that did not
trade with its kinsmen in preference to
Others. Your objection is that protective
tariff encourages monopolies on account of the
big profits made possible. Our answer would
be that the same incentive of big profits in
duces competition, and competition compels
reasonable profits. The difference in favor
of protective tariff is that the co mpetition
lies between Americans rather than between
Americans and foreigners.

IT is a matter of national pride that the
foreign ministers of the United States, under
instructions from our government, are al
ways on the alert to render effective service in
the interests of peace among the various ma
lions involved in complications. Two con-
spicuous instances are attracting public at
tentlon at this time-the one in the negotia-
lions between France and China and the
other in the pending treaty between Chilli
and Peru. In all such cases American
influence is felt and recognized as fully as
thai of the leading disinterested powers of
Europe, but without any entanglements, as
our well-known policy of having no other
interests than those attaching to this CONT
nent is known and recognized. Our assist
ance, therefore, is understood to be enaSely

and the passage of laws affecting both OF said
objects by the Republican Congress at the
late session demonstrates anew the incapaclty
of the former to deal with questions of great
public concern, and that the country must
RELY on the latter for practical legislation.
AS well-grounded supports for such reliance
we point not only TO the action of the late
Republican Congress, as heretofore men
toned, but also to the additional facts that
customs and internal taxation were reduced

HIGH LICENSE.
Change in Temperance Pollcy-Rapid Spread
of High License.
Memphis Appeal.

Memphis Appeal.
The high-license system for the sale of
liquor is spreading rapidly. Many of the
prohibitionists have become tired of agitat-
ing Tor years for prohibition law which is
rarely obtained, and, when obtained, is so
lll-administered as to have made the question
acommon one, Does prohibition prohibit?'
Ot course, if prohibition be law ii ought to
be administered as faithfully as other laws
are, but in fact it is not. The intellectual
assent and moral support of the mass of the
community have been wanting, and a law
deficient of such props, commonly, is mere
bundle OF words on piece of parchment, and
no more. When a prohibition law has been
gained in a State its supporters have
always sat down, rejoicing that their work
was done. The fact was it was just begun.
The required working implement was OBJ
tanned, but it would not work ITSELF and has
rarely given satisfaction. 1t is much easier
by persistence and party combinations to get
prohibition law passed than it is to have it
executed In striving for legislation there is
a single objective point to be aimed at-the
Legislature; but to administer the law. vigil
lance and effort-are required in every village
in the State. The mayor of Fort Scott Kan,
when attending the recent nurserymen's con-
vention at st. Louis, acknowledged that pro-
hibition was a failure in that State The
District Court in his town had been in SEES
sion five weeks and had fifteen liquor-selling
cases before it, but could not convict one.
All these things had led many opponents
of excessive drinking to seek rem
edies which would meet with pub
lie support and be effectual against
the evil so universally complained of. They
seek to have existing laws respecting Sunday
selling, selling to minors and habitual drunk
ards and selling after hours put in force, and
especially to decrease the number of liquor
sellers by raising the amount paid for licenses.
In some of the cities of Missouri and ILL
nois the liquor tax is $500 to $1,000. Where
such sums are at risk liquor-sellers find it
necessary to observe the law for their own
sakes. 1t does not pay to make people drunk
when disorder on their premises entails a
heavy fine. What is even better, it is to
their interest to help the law step unlicensed
selling Their expenses are too high to bear
such competition as that. Some of the high
license advocates propose that county and
town authorities shall decide how many re-
tailers there shall be in a given district, then
sell the license for each district auction.
In one way or another the high-license sys-
TEN is making rapid way.

A Man Who Would Rather Make a Presi-
dent Than Be One.
Louisville Letter in Philadelphia Press.
1t is believed by some that Watterson will
be pushed for the second place, but it is en-
tirely unlikely that he would permit his
name to be used. He is satisfied where he is.
He would rather make President any day
than be one. 1t is known by few of his
most intimate friends that his personal pre-
ference for the second place is Colonel VIII
liam f. Villas of Wisconsin, who is consid-
cred one of the brightest men in the Demo-
cratic party. Villas, as a lawyer, stands at
the head of his profession in the West He
has all the brilliancy of the late Mat Carpen-
ter, and is Tildens equal in profound logic
He is said to be able to follow Dan. Dougherty
in speech, and win the heartiest ovation on
the heels of that orators greatest efforts. He
is about forty-five years DID, of stalwart
build great magnetism, remarkably acute
intelligence, deep knowledge of constitu-
tional law, astonishing executive ability, and
is the coming man among the Democrats of
the Northwest.
What Watterson has said and is saying
about free trade is of very little account in
the South. His New York speech was pro-
nounced erratic and pointless. l don't think
the man thoroughly understands his own po-
sition. He never states fact or controverts
an argument He has simply got ridicu-
lousy false notion that This tariff for reve-
nue. only idea will popularize his party; but
how so shrewd a man can entertain so absurd
a proposition it is hard to comprehend. The
Courier-Journal is positively without nota-
BILE effect in its antagonism of protection.
SIN assured by those who know, that if the
question were put squarely to a vote of the
people of Kentucky to-day, there would be
five to one in favor of protection. The
Courier-Journal Enthusiastically has great
weight of influence, and, regarding most
matters concerning the public is looked upon
by its constituents as almost infallible.
But there are two other daily papers in
Louisville, the Commercial and the Post
each of which, l am authoritatively told,
has larger circulation in Kentucky than
the Courier-J ournal, and both are organs of
protection. There are many men here to-
day unfolding the governments policy, who
year ago, professed free trade. Waiter
sons influence as writer upon economic
questions is waning, and will soon cease alto
gether. The South is no longer the strong
hold of free trade. 1t once was. As men
enter industrial pursuits they turn naturally
to protection as the bulwark and safeguard
of their prosperity
