Outs and ems"

A Western newspaper, surveying the
situation, sadly admits that "the short
comings of the Republicans may place
the Democratic party in power. But
inquiries the editor, in discouraged
tone. 'swhat prospect is there for the
country when it is considered absolute
ly necessary to call party to power
not because of its present professions,
or past principles and methods, but
solely because its opponent is no longer
worthy of popular confdence?" Fol
our part we can see good "prospeet
for the country" if it will make proper
use of political parties by employing
one party as constant menace to th,
other, reminder that the 'Eouts" vii
be 'sins" when the dominant party 81
no longer worthy of popular confidence.
In fact, the only hope of the countr,
lies in the probability that there vii
always be enough henest men who Wi
desert their own party and go over t
the opposition, when the good of thei
country imperatiyely demands sue
action, to insure change in the Go7
ernment.

The Old Ticket.

An immense amount of balderdash
has been sent all over the United States
by the Associated Press dispatches, to
the effect that the democracy every
where demands TIE nomination of Til
den and Hendricks as their candidates
for President and Vice President at the
next election. Should such be the re-
suit OF the next convention, every DEM
Ocrat would concur and they might be
elected as they were in 1876; but up to
this date we have seen no indication Of
any such demand. That the majority
of the people of the United States felt
deeply aggrieved that their will was
disobeyed at that time there is no
doubt, ard nad there not been ssner
al conviction that It would have been
obeyed but for the hesitation Of Mr..
Tiiden and his friends, the nomination
would have been repeated in 1880.

That this was not done ct Cincinnati
places their future nomination out of
the question.
'Tempora mutanter, etc. The
times change and in the progressive
rush to keep pace with the present, the
dead past will be left to bury its own
dead. There are too many live prac-
tical men in the democratic party
who are able and strong enough to ad-
minister the government in accordance
with the will Of the people Of to-day, to
call up ghost of the past for this pur-
pose. There is Pendleten of Ohio, Nc
Donald of Indiana, and score Of 9TH
ers who can easily carry our standard
to victory, and from among these the
chief will be selected, regardless of the
preferences of our Republican fellow
citizens

THE MARKETS.

and dealers, in view of the tendency downward
manifested i'll the centres of trade, have not
been anxious to invest heavily. The result Is
very limited demand and corresponding sup

are led to believe that there is yet large guam
tity OF grain in the hands of producers through
ont this section. The near approach of harvest
(some of the fields being now ready for the reap

stock, and greater activity may be therefore
expected within the next month. Whether this

The Jury System.

Recent trials in prominent cases have
drawn public attention to the jury system
and the abuse. to which it is subject. 1t
can be safely stated that but for the extra
ordinary character of the verdict in the
trial of Dukes, in Uniontown. Pa, young
Jas. Mutt would not now occupy felon S
cell, and the family, already afflicted with
sorrow greater that few have ever been
called upon to bear, would not have had
their cup so filled to overlooking. The
duty of shedding human blood is terrible
duty under any circumstances. 1t is a
duty, however, which, when judcially
performed, is half robbed of it's terror. Men
called upon under the sanction of their
oaths, to mete out justice under the old
law of IAN eye for an eye and a tooth
for a TOOTH are never selected until
they have declared they have no con-
scientious scruples against the infic-
ton Of capital punishment. should such
punishment be deemed just under the
law and the facts of the case. When.
having taken this solemn obligation, they
fail to discharge the duty imposed by it,
society must be the sufferer. The cause
of justice is transferred from the legal tri-
bunalS to mans personal sense of ii yht,
and subject therefore, to all of the various
degrees of judgment and want of iudg-
ment that obtain among the individual
members of the human family This
Sinking Of responsibility by iuries, has
brought about the general want OF conf
dence now felt in the system. 1t is not.
however, the fault Of the system, but of
the men selected rs jurors and the laws
bearing upon that selection. They are
either, in many instances, swayed in their
Judgment, as i'll the Guiteau case. by pub
lie clamor, OF else through perverseness OF

corruption, as in the Dukes case lose all
sense of the responsibility resting upon
them.
On the other hand. there are instances in
which entirely too much is required of
them. Take the Star Route trials, just
concluded For over six months those
twelve men sat in the jury box and lis
tened to evidence enough to drive them
mad. Then for weeks they were subjected
to the harangues of counsel, and when the
end came, we question if single mem
| Der of the jury had one solitary distinct
impression upon his mind. And yet they
were called upon to decide, within a few
hours of the end of the trial. If consci-
entious, each had listened to everything
said, and had endeavored to arrive at the
| true measure OF credcnce to be given to
the testimony had tried to understand
the law rs presented by the counsel and
court, and to apply it to the facts. The
result was such Il confused and uninteli-
bic mass OF matter, that very few of the
best analytical minds of the country
would have been able to arrive at anything
like just conclusion. 1t is but natural
that these dozen men, selected from the
ordinary masses Of mankind, should have
been lost in a wilderness of uncertainty
and us they were bound under their oaths
to give the accused the benefit of every
doubt, the verdict is not surprising. Tn.
der the requirements of the jury system il
could scarcely have been otherwise. When
learned and astute counsel employ then
wits to confuse and bewilder their less
fortunate brethren, it is not to be won
dered at if they succeed in erasing the
more definite impressions, and substitute
ing therefor yagueness and uncertainty. =
Cases like the one under consideration
should be tried 10y a jury Of judges, Will

and ample time given to make up their
conclusions. The idea of examining mar
for six months and then requiring him tC

Acouittal of the Star Reuters.

The long drawn out trial of the Star
Reuters ended on Thursday last with Il
verdict of acquittal The trial has lasted
over six months and cost the Government
hundreds of thousands Of dollars. TIE
last scene in'the court room is thus de-
scribed:
The Criminal Court room was crowded
again, with persons interested in hearing a
report from the star route jury. When
Judge Wylie came upon the bench, he
said at once to the clicr: You can ask
that jury if they have any communication
to make" The crier retie ed and returned
and said that they had communication to
make, and would come down shortly.
Five minutes later they entered the cham
ber Nearly all of them looked well and
showed little signs of fatigue. His Honor
said he had sent for them to see if they had
agreed upon q verdict.
Mr.. Crane: .'We have agreed"
The Judge: Receive this verdict"
Mr.. Crane I'VE find the defendants not
guilty"
The court room was ut once all excite
ment. The defendants and their friends
cheered Justify and carried the news to the
streets. Mrs. Dorsey and her lady friends
rose in their places and waved their hand
kerchiefs, cheering Justify. During the tu-
multi the verdict was repeated in the usual
form as to each Of the defendants. After
the noise had subsidized, Judge Wylie an
nounced that there were no further duties
for the jury to perform.
You had q laborious task to perform in
this case, he said. 'sY on have been more
than six months engaged in the trial. Many
of you have occupations of your own that
you have been obliged to neglect, and al
though your verdict, Of course, will create
dissatisfaction with many. yet the court is
bound to presume, that having been Sc
lected according to law and sworn to per-
form that duty faithfully, you have done
so. That you have done it, each one &C
cording to the dictates of his own con-
science, will be satisfactory to you as long
as you live. You are therefore discharged,
with the thanks Of the court
The jury then at 49, 20 A. M. left the
court house, and the courtroom was soon
emptied
From interviews with jurors it appears
that when the jury first came to vote upon
the question of conspiracy, the vote stood
8 against to for, finding a conspiracy.
A very interesting question sprang up
among those interested in the Star Route
trial shortly after the rendition Of the YER
dict-viZ.: What will be done with Rer-
dell, who had pleaded guilty? This was
discussed by many during the day, and the
general impression was that the verdict
ended all, for the finding is that there was
no conspiracy, and the verdict must he
taken against Rerdell's assertions.
