The Real Issue.
NeW lOrk NNlI.

The tariff undoubtedly will be the
great issue between the parties next year"
saws John Sherman. I'VE shall give it
prominence this year. We think we shall
be able to do that so early in the campaign
that, after all, the tariff will overtop every
thing else in importance
No doubt Mr.. Sherman and all those Re-
publican leaders who sympathise with
him would be very glad to fight the next
election upon the question CT the tariff,
and every other election for the next
twenty years. This would suit them very
much better than the issue of reform, OF
expelling the raScals who now run riot in
every department OF the Government, OF
driving away the blood suckers that feed
upon the Treasury of the country, OF max
ing the whole administration honest and
decent.
If the Republicans could select for them
selves the battle ground OtlSSl, they would
have a much better chance of winning and
p~erpetuating their Own tenure OF power
than they can possibly have when the
ground is chosen by the people, wearied
and disguised by Republican corruption in
every branch of the public service.
The tariff cannot be a great isSuei in lSn4.
High rates of duty must necessarily be I'M
posed upon all imported articles. The re-
duction OF the tariff to anything approach
il g a free trade standard is an absolute i'm
disability. Where, then, i there any
reason which can make this an oyertop-
ping po,ut OF dispute between the
parties. II the necessity cf
levying high duties is admitted by
all, so that there can be no difference in
principle regarding it, how are parties to
contend about it? How can a question re-
specting which there is nc substantial
difference be made to surpasS everything
else in importance?
Mr.. Sherman is a smart politician, and ne
has some reason to count upon the fact
that in the Democratic party, as in every
other, there is a proportion OF foolish and
Eot-headed men; but we do not think he
will be gratiied in this matter.
The great and overlapping issue is Gear
ing out the den of thieves.

THE LESSON OF THREE NOTABLE

LA5hoe
Three notable cases are being cited by
the press Of the country as examples OF
the i~nefieieney Of the Jury system as
now administered, in the punishment
of crime. These are the sequittal oil
Dukes, the aequittsl Of Congressman
Thompson in Kentucky, and the recent
verdict in the Star Route cases.
These cases were tried in different
and widely separate sections Of the
country. In each Of them the facts
were notorious, the guilt proved beyond
a reasonable doubt and mitigating cir
cumstanees almost entirely wanting.
YET in each case the machinery of the
law failed to impose any penalty and
sent the perpetrators of grave crimes
against life and property forth into the
world free and, so far rs the verdict of
a Jury could do it, e~xculpated from any
violation of law.
In discussing the verdicts in the
three cases above mentioned, the Phil
adelphia Times says:
In one case it has been seen that a
strictly partisan jury Of twelve men could
he secured. Whether this was by accident
or design it is unnecessary to assume.
They we're men of narrow minds, ignorant
of law, unable to deduce an inevitable con-
clusion from plain premises. Some OF them
could not read or write and all were anx-
Gus to aCquit a fellow partisan OF a wanton
murder. In the Thompson case the social
and political position Of the accused served
TO terrorize the jury into setting free a man
who had taken a human life On the merest
suspicion, since shown to be ground
less. The Star route jury was
q still more marked instance. Here
was a case involving the theft Of hundreds
of thousands of dollars. The jury was
composed of eight white men and four
negroes. They were selected for their igno-
rance, not only OF the case, but of every
thing else. Some. of them were unable to
read. None of them were business men,
accustomed to calculations or to reasoning.
Yet these men were expected to carry in
their minds the principles and the details
Of q case consuming six months time.
They could not do it, and the result is be-
fore the country in the acQuIttal Of the
me-, audacious band of public thieves
Crgauized for many years.
The diagnosis of the disease is less
difficult than to suggest an effective
cure. The infection is not confined to
the jury box but extends to the judges,
the lawyers, ami largely to the masses
Of the people. 1t is the legitimate fruit
"of long and extended trials; the ex-
tension of the lines of evidence to adj
nit almost everything; the intermina-
lie and sentimental arguments of coun-
sci on matters only remotely connected
with the cases; and the lax methods of
some judges which have made it almost
impossible 10 secure intelligent men for
! jurors"
It may be that the evils of the Jury
system Will lind u corrective by slow
and easy stages through the moulding
influence of u strong moral sentiment.
Ii may be that it will come through a
fierce storm Of public indignation, but
it will certainly come, amp the day is
not far distant.

THE great lard gambler who has just
failed in Chicago for two or three mil
lions is spoken Of as a nan of "pluek."
Pluck is a queer name for it. His chief
tact seems to be that of the daring gam
bier with boldneSs enough to contract
great obligations which he could not
fulfil. What useful mission such men
fill in the world it is hard to see. They
make prices not through the natural
laws of demand and supply, but by
''eoTners" and e~onspiraeies. Fair COM
petition, which is the life of trade, is
utterly crushed by the giant foot Of this
money-swollen monster. A few mon
opolize the entire trade Of any given
article by reason of their money-power,
remorselessly destroying any one who
Jares to CLEAN in the field they have
made their robbery.

Ii is going to be very hard work for the
Republican party TO elect its candidate for
President next year. Protection won't
elect him. The putting down OF the re-
belliOn twenty years ago won't elect him.
While the eminent leaders OF the grand
old party are pointing with pride to the
American workman and the battle-Scarred
veteran marching side by side in the front
rank a wstchful and pitIleSs enemy will
call public attention 10 the gang of raSCllS
in the tail Of the procession We l"rk
Tines.
And inasmuch as the raScals can't
be convicted in the courts, can't be put
behind the bars, the only thing 10 be
done is to turn them out. That will be
the main mission Ofthe next President
ial campaign.

THE newspaper prophets generally
predict that Judge HoApLN will be the
nominee of the Democratic convention
to-day, but for ourselves We make no
guess. There are always so many men
in both parties in the Buckeye state
who are available candidates for any
thing, and who are expecting to BE- can
didates for The Presidency that the re.
suit Of a political convention is astwisIy
and involved as a battle between ana
cOndas. Until the battle is over it is
never safe to guess which anaconda
will be on the outside Of the others.

APROPOS Of Mr.. SHERNAN'S predic-
ton that the Republicans will carry
Ohio next year, e if they fail this
year, the New York UorId pertinent
~ suggests that 1.-The Democrats haye
much better philosophy than Mr..
SHERMAN in the fact that they do not
need Ohio, while it is absolutely indis-
pensable to the Republicans" that
"Republiean success without Ohio is
impossible. Democratic success is quite
probable even without it," These are
great truths on which Mr.. SHERMAN
should ponder, if he has not already
given them his serious attention.

Is Olden times it was the fashion for

march straight to their hail, elect a
presiding officer, name a half dozen

takes a day to organize, a night to set
up the pins, and a second day to get

IS IT proper to call the man who adulter-
ates the food We eat an 'adulterer?' II
not, why not?-ChicI." JgWuQi.
We presume not; and the why nOt'
must be because Of q confusion of
terms. The Bible command says
"ThOu shall not commit adultery"
The civil law says the same thing. But
adultery goes on all the same and no.
body is caught. The officers of the
law don't seem to know which species
Of the ''critter" to put their hands on

RERDELL, one of the Star Route
rOgues, pleaded guilty. He ought to
know whether he was or not. But in
a Washington court self-aceusation was
accounted as innocence. When q
Court diseredits a mans own confess
sion of guilt, the only use we can see for
such a tribunal is to try a man for be-
ing innocent.
