SOME one has said taat eternal
vigilance is the price OF liberty
The remark continues TO be quoted
because it cannot be improved.
(To avoid wOunding the feelings
of the sensitive let Us here dis
claim any intent to connect the
noun vigilance, with the adject-
i've use of the word as applied 10 a
"committee'') As with liberty so
with safety, which lies even closer
to the first law OF nature. For
this reason, and toward that end,
does a newspaper comment upon
events, and though it is sometimes
easier to keep still yet it is due
TO the public, of which the journal
is the exponent, to mirror the
public mind.
Men for whose opinions we
have high regard, have told US
they considered our remarks in
yesterdays issue as tending to
cast a stigma upon the jury in the
Hayes case, and make the Jury
men the subject OF obloquy. Such
intent was foreign to our purpose,
and, we trust, is not the case, rs
regards the twelve men who
brought in that verdict last Thurs
day night upon which we CON-
mented. These men swore to try
the case according to the law and
facts: the testimony, they listened
to attentively: the arguments OF
counsel, they heard, and noted; the
charge of the Judge was gwen
them to guide them in their de-
liberation; they occupied = most
solemn and in some sense q most
painful position, and for their YER
dict they are not TO be questioned.
This much is their due. It is a
position of the greatest response
bility, in which a man finds HIM
self, when a juror in a case where
the defendant is on trial for his
life, and the twelve silent men be-
fore him are the arbiters Of his
fate. To cast aspersions upon
their deliberation; to malign their
motives, or to impute improper in
iluence were grave ofTense
against the public good, and an
outrageous breach of journalistic
decorum. Our comments were
such as the nature OF the case and
the whole chain of circumstances
suggested. y newspaper writer
is like any other man; ii he lacks
judgment he can not help show
ing it. To attempt TO belittie the
individual members OF a jury that
but did what they were sworn 20
do, to render verdict 10 the best
of their judgment, world betoken
a lack of sense that, without any
we disciaim.

New Haven and NIerIden Scr1bes At It.
 How 1t Resulted-GIory Enough
 The Meriden newspaper men are base ball players. There isn't an exception. From tough Tommy Rifle yto tall MT. Mabbitt, and all through the nine. the scale of native base ball talent continually increases. Last year the Meriden newspaper men came to Ne" Haven and played the New Haven scribes, They were beaten only just enough to make tho New Haven writers believe that 1t was an accident; it was nothing of the kind ; it was a part and parcel of deep. dark and direful scheme. So when Tommy Riley sent soft messages through the telephone about what a soft thing the New Haven men had the wires ought to have been blistered. But they were not Messrs- Lyon and Countryman of the Register, Webb and Abbey of the News, Scott, Graves, Walker and McCuen of the Union, and Lawyer Charles Ives, who represents no newspaper, but was prudently worked in because it was thought that he could play the whole game, yester- mar school team to lease them the ground on Howard avenue. They thought they could play ball. But Tommy Riley's nine 'left" them in six innings to the tune of 29 to 13. There were several accidents; one keg of beer disappeared somewhere; one base ball ist tore his unmentionables and had to ob scure himself until darkness favored his es- cape Commissary Sergeant Dimmick was one of the spectators. There is no imme- diate chance of a return game, but now the printers want chance at the ''scribes," " thinking them an easy prey. The City Hall nine may take courage. A game with them is vet in order
