WHAT A JUROR SAYS
About the Setting Aside OF the Verdict In
the ISilb0urn-Thompson Case.

The Critic. sl.,.
"What do you think of the action OF the
judge in setting aside the jury's verdict in
the Kilbourn- Thompson case?' asked a Critic
reporter of one of the jurymen last evening.
81 think it was an insult to the jury and
will hereafter lessen the respect which ought
to exist between judge and jury"
Why"
Because as I understand it the official OK
istence of both the judge and jury is created
by the same constitutional law of tho land /;
the judges duty is to administer the law, and
the functions of the jury is to render ver-
dict according to its judgment on the testi-
mony submitted, which we did in tho Kill
bourn- Thompson case Now, for judge to
interfere and ignore the solemn judgment of
u jury is an exercise of arbitrary power and
makes trial by jury farce"
"The jurys verdict was accepted by the
court in the Guiteau caseW
"Oh, yes; the verdict of jury pronounc-
ing man guilty of murder is satisfactory,
and on it judge can sentence bowling lu.
natic to death on the scaffold; but the verdict
of Jury fixing the damages for tho illegal
and tyrannical arrest of a citizen not charged
with violating any law and contining him in
the common Jail for several weeks, appears
not to have been satisfactory to the court"
"You don't seem pleased with your service
as juror"
AZ am not, and shall be glad when the
term ends. don't want to serve as juror
where jury verdict involving tho taking of
o human life will be sustained and the judg-
ment of jury fixing the damages ON the
Illegal outrageous. and tyrannical conduct OF
q strong arbitrary power toward citizen is
ignored and set aside. That is all. Good
evening""

A NEW OPERA.
An ORCHESTRAL Rehearsal OF John Philip
sousa's "Desiree."

An ORCHESTRAL Rehearsal OF John Philip
souss's "Dssirce.v
A company of some forty ladies and gentle
mon were present in the armory Of the
National Rifles yesterday afternoon to listen
to the first performance in this country of
the orchestral score of tho now OPERA
" Desiree." The libretto of this work is tho
joint production of Mr.. J. Madison Morton,
tho author Of Box and Cox " and hundred
equally well known popular farces, and Mr..
Ed. NJ. Tabor, of this city, one of the cleverest
literateurs of this section of the country.
The music is by Mr. John Philip Sousa,
and the verdict of those who heard it
yesterday was that it was the best yet com
posed by him. An orchestra of thirty musi-
clans played the overture and music of the
two acts entire, and the numbers were found
to be not only sparkling, but musical.
There are number of popular numbers, such
as will set tho boys u whistling about the
streets and the lover of music for tho divine
arts sake will find much in the score above
the average order. This Is especially noticea-
BILE in the concerted pieces, which are
worked up with true dramatic instincts.
In the entire list of musical numbers, from
the catchy patter songs to the delicious and
Intoxicating swing of the waltz or the more
ambitious strains denotng the manifestation
of tho tender passion" there is not even one
approach to the trickery which is the bane OF
tho average comic opera. The music more
than satisfied the pleasurable anticipations
of the audience, which was composed.
almost exclusively of ladies and gem
tlemen especially well qualified to
judge of its merit. From careful
and thorough examination of both score and
lbrotto the most critical Judgment fails to
find a flaw which will ever remotely ,imperil
the success of "Desiree." All who have
heard it are enthusiastic in their praise
Several prominent gentlemen in tho musical
world have signified their desire to produce
the opera, and it is not at all Unlikely that it
will be heard in this city before tho present
season 10 over.

TO REAP AND TO BIND.
The Mission of the Mccormick Har-
Vester and Irvine Binder.
How 1t Fills That Mission-A Faithful and
Obedient Servant That Never Wearies
Important Improvements
for 1888.

Yesterday afternoon Journal reporter with
mania for statistics particularly agricultural
statistics, called on ]. B. Haywood, general
agent for the Mccormick Harvesting Machine
Company, at the saesrooms of that COM
pany, Nos. ICY and 169 East Washington
street. He had a curiosity to know how many
miles Of wire ana of Irvine would be.required by
the Mccormick machine TO tie the sheaves of
the coming crop, and got as his answer that II
the wire and Irvine used by this machine were
stretched out in one continuous line, it would
measure 890,151 miles-a line long enough to
reach thirty-fve and One-half times around the
globe aggregating a value of more than ST.
100000.
The Harvester and Irvine Binder, this year, is
improved considerably over that of last year,
The new adjustable reel is beautiful in its move
ment, and by means of but two levers, in easy
reach of its driver, be raised or lowered, set
backward or forward, instantly, and while the
machine is in motion. 1t now raises nine inches
higher than formerly. The reel can in case
be placed where it will strike the singletrees.
Many improvements have been added. which
must be seen in operation to be fully appre-
ciated.
One thing our farmer friends must bear in
mind. In making comparisons of other ma
chimes with this they must always take the
latest Mccormick. This machine has improve
ments not found in any other, and is peerless
and incompatible.
twas in 1881 that the machine that bears the
mccormick name was invented. Very crude
and clumsy it would look to us now, but it was
the sire of alOng line of reapers-reapers that have
grown stronger and better as time has gone on,
and the patriarch of 81 would look strange, in
deed beside his shapely descendant OF 1888.

Senator Harrison and the Woods Appoint
ment,

The enlightened correspondents do not
seem to be standing on rock-rbbed facts
when they translate the appointment OF
Judge Woods to succeed Judge Gresham as
an offensive defeat of Senator Harrison, and
therefore the signal of enmity between Post
master-general Gresham and the Senator. 1t
will be remembered that Judge Gresham re-
quosted that the notification of his own APP
pointment to be Postmaster-general be made
through Senator Harrison, and they
are on the most friendly terms.
The facts are that Judge Hines,
who was recommended by Harrison, is
an indianapolis man, and the Indiana dele
CATION had protested against indianapolis
getting all the good offices. Gresham did
not actively oppose the appointment of Sem
ator Harrisons friend, and Senator Harrison
did not dsparage any other candidates in
favor of his friend For some days the bar
of this State had centered on Judge Woods,
and as his appointment would give general
satisfaction, the President seems to have
made it in Difference to the general feeling,
and not to strip Harrison of patronage"
and it is an excellentappointment.

creature lured to ruin by overpersuasion on
the part of being vastly her intellectual SUI
perior. Those who have listened to Mrs.
Johnson on the temperance question, and
have heard her pray in public for such mis-
cradle sinners as relied upon her medlatory
influence will hardly think of her as gay
aud giddy girl. She is eminently strong
minded, and if the truth must be
confessed appears to be by tar the
most positive character OF the three.
Indeed it is made apparent by Mr.. Eli
Johnson himself that his own action in bring
ing suit against the destroyer of his happl-
ness is based upon the conduct OF his wife
after and not before he made the discovery
which has caused him such high-priced suf-
fering. Indeed Mr., Johnson did not appar-
entity realize the extent of the injury done
him by Higley, or the ''perfdy" to use MS
own phrase of his wife until Saturday last
He was fully convinced OF the facts, as he
considers Them that entitled him as citizen
to damages from the invader, but as Chris
tian man he did not feel warranted in pun
lshing that unprincipled person until Mrs
Johnson, in the presence of female friend,
turned from him with scorn and actually re-
fused to be kissed by him. Then, and not
till then, the deeply injured gentleman
determined to proceed against the guilty
couple, to expose the woman's perhdy and
punish the man who had wronged him.
One cannot help rejecting, however, upon
the curious contrariness of human affairs
That these three exemplary people who have
achieved eminence through their extraordi-
nary piety should be figuring before the pub
lie in such suit as this is most distressing.
If poor, uneducated laymen or infdels had
been guilty of these things the world would
not have mourned; if minds unhinged by the
vice of intoxicatlon or hearts hardened
against virtue by irreligion had failed to re-
sist the tempter, the shock to the public
would have been lighter. AS it is, we fear
greatly that no form of religion or fiuency
in repeating cant phrases Will ever prove a
good substitute for morality. On the other
hand, one cannot help thinking that
Mr. Eli Johnson Is much to blame him
self in this matter, not perhaps inten-
tionally, but actually. His anxiety to save
his fellow-creatures from the hideous effects
OF liquor led him to the other side of the
world, which probably needed reformation
more than our own, and for year and more
he was absent from home. 1t is no better
for woman than man to be alone, and this
case proves the fact, She must have friends;
and Mrs. johnson, being a lady of vigorous
mind and advanced ideas, could hardly be
expected to possess much in common with
frivolous members of her own sex. Natur-
ally, the more active masculine mind COM
mended itself to her, and as a consequence,
Mr. Higley's company was substituted for
that of the absent husband. Perhaps Mr..
Eli Johnson would have done the world
more good by remaining at home and pre-
venting a scandal than he has accomplished
by all his exertions in the way of temper
ance.

Burke had a mission East He came on to
purchase the New York World. There was
no foolishness about him. He meant bust
ness. The ambition of Major Burke in this
life is commendable one He has been in
the newspaper work but four years. and yet
he feels like be had devoted lifetime to the
great field of journalism. What he wants to
do and what he says he will do before the
LIST of January next, is to establish four great,
lively and newsy newspapers at the follow
ing points: New Orleans Dallas Tex, one in
New York. His present paper in New
Orleans, the Times-Democrat, is to be
improved, and will Of course answer for that
city. All of his four papers will be known
and styled the Times Democrat" and pub
lished under one management. If Major
Burke succeeds, as he fondly hopes, his big
four" combination will make him great fame
and a mine of money. He offered good
round sum for a controlling interest in the
New York World. but his offer was refused.
Mr.. Hurlbert desires TO form a syndicate
and absolutely control the paper. Major
Burke is somewhat disappoin ted in not get
ting control of the World, but is by no man
ner of means discouraged, and in conversa-
ton with your correspondent stated he
would yet succeed in establishing Demo-
cratic paper in New York city. The only
thing that troubles him seriously now is his
failure to make the arrangements he desires
with the telegraph companies. He says at
present he is to some extent handicapped,
but hopes to pull through this year and
make satisfactory arrangements by next jan
uarY.

OUR LITTLE BOY.
A Story of Infantile Suffering Truly,
as Told by HIS Parents.

Mr.. Editor: We feel it our duty to write you
what the Cuticura remedies have done for our
little boy, who has been terribly afflicted with
Salt Rheum, Scrofuia and Erysipelas ever since
he was born, and nothing we could give him
helped him until we tried Cuticura, which, after
using quite Quantity, began TO help him and
gradually cured him, until he is as fair as
any child. His body was completely covered,
and his face and his hands sweled very badly.
We had no comfort, with him: it was so much
work to take care of him, and he suffered so.
We began to treat him when he was eighteen
months old, giving him at first ten drops of the
Cuticara Resolvent at time, bathing in warm
water and Cuticura Soap, and applying Cuticura
carefully to the entire body. He is now three
and one half years old, and is perfectly well.
We have not written before, because we thought
it might appear again; but it has not, and we are
very thankful.
