THE superiority of the press over She pulpit
is again acknowledged. 1t is well understood
that a man who is addicted TO reading newspa-
pers is disqualified to serve on juries in import
ant cases. In an EastOn, Penn, murder case the
criminals attorneys, proceeding on the mistaken
idea that preachers influence is equal to that
of paper, asked for new trial on the ground
that the jurymen had been improperly biased by
a sermon on the murder to which they had lis
tened before the trial began. The judge very
properly overruled the motion.

These figures speak in tones which cannot
be doubted. Dallas feels that she has JUS
tice and right on her side. 1t should ever
be the aim and purpose of a republican
government to confer the greatest good on
the greatest number, and il this rule, so
just and right, should prevail in the present
legislature, Dallas has no fears of the result.
She does not present herself before the
legislature with demand in one hand and
a threat in the other. She does not, as
Tyler, demand the courts, and in the event
OF refusal, threaten to divide the state,
but conscious Of the business of her cause,
and ever loyal to an undivided Texas"
she presents her claims to legislature of
the state OF Texas, and asks that they be
impartially and fairly considered.
