THIS SIDE AND THAT.

Representative Dorsheimer, speaking
in favor of the Morrison Tariff bill, now
dead. referred to the picture Of poverty
in "merry, free trade, England" which
Congressman Kelly had drawn. He said
sufficient misery could be seen in New
York, largely due to the protective sys-
TEN, which the venerable member from
Pennsylvania had done so much to build
up. Let the gentleman come with me,
continued the orator, and I will show
him the extremes Of human misery. l
will show him Fifth Avenue filed with a
glittering stream of wealth, youth and
beauty, and then we will go a little way
and look at the dwellings Of the poor.
He will find whole families crowded
into a little room, without a window
from which the tender sky Of the Spring
time a be seen. He will see gaunt
faces and wasted figures; men without
manhood; women without ~womanhood;
age without s~olace, and infancy without
hope. When he has seen this spectacle
II will not charge it on the tariff alone,
nor yet upon the drink that he would
make free. It's causes lie far deeper; but
I will tell him, despite the 20 years OF
protection he has so carefully given,
scenes like these are common in
land. It was a most serious and excit-
ing debate, into which, nevertheless, a
very comical feature was injected, in the
way of encouragement given by Republi-
can members to Democratic boilers.
Those Democrats who speak on the Re-
publican side Of the question do not have
attention from their political brethren.
For fear that neglect might make their
Democratic allies falter, the Republican
managers arranged at the beginning OF
the tariff debate to have a little audience
rally round each Democratic member,
who should plead the protective side OF
the question. These relief squads are
always at the post of duty. They sur
round every Democrat who rises to speak
his party and give him applause
at the proper places.

JURORS.

The San Francisco Star makes this
very clear, strong argument for reform in
the jury system which still prevails in
many States, but which has been health
fully modified il a few States-in New
York most conspicuously:
ga singular instance of the pertinacity
with which usages that ought to have
been obsolete for at least half a century,
still cling to our modes of legal proceed
ure, is furnished in the general require
ments, that a person to be eligible as a
juror must not have read, or have been
told what purports to be, the facts in the
case in such a manner that the recital
has made an impression on his mind.
A century or more ago there were
very few newspapers, and these few were
re ad by only a portion of the commu-
nifty. Almost every one who can read at
all reads the papers. 1t would then have
been easy to find an intelligent jury who
had never heard anything definite regard
ing a murder; it is now impossible ex-
cept occasionally in large cities. Yet
the old legal requirements adapted as it
may have been to the conditions of the
eighteenth and preceding centuries, is
still insisted upon in the latter quarter of
the nineteenth, when the circumstances
are entirely changed, SO that the require
ment is a direct and u~nmistakable en-
~couragement TO crime, though originally
intended only to secure impartiality for
the prisoner. The law thus tries to
make the man fit the clothes, instead OF
the clothes to fit the man.

UNITED STATES RELATIONSHIPS.

Ward Reflex: The men who have rep
resented Nevada in the United States
Senate to date, had-without exception
at the time Of their election, long
purses. 1t is about time to vary the
monotony, and to elect a man who
could not be accused of getting there by
means of money, but on merit alone.
We have had enough to do with Sena-
tors-at-Large. We want a man who will
be in his seat all the time, a man who takes
naturally to that sort of thing and who
does not consider the position a bauble,
but an Office that will tax his best ener-
gies to fill properly. The man for the
place is Hon. Geo. W. Cassidy.
The great blusterer, Senator Jones,
who, in 10, overlooked the provision
tackled onto the bill that partially de-
monetized silver-whose absence or mat
tention was the cause of it's again the
favorite of the Republicans of this State
for United States Senator. Had Cassidy
been there we would have at least heard
of it before feeling any of its damaging
effects.

,'UnterriGed'' Democracy And
Crow.
Bossier Banner.

Friend Loughery, of the Shreveport
Standard" referring to our article on
the McEnery ticket last week, says "a
real, live, unterrifed Democratic editor
never eats crow" Well, we flatter our
self that we belong to the "unterrifedn
Democracy. An editor who can swallow
McEnery, in the interest of party har-
m0ny and success, as manT of us are
now doing who bitterly ard justly OPP
posed his nomination, is certainly en-
titled to the appellation of "nnterri-
fed"
For more than quarter of a century
we have fought under the old banner of
sJeffersonian Democracy. We are there
to-day, with a heart for any fate.n
We have always voted the straight tick
ct without scratch, much against our
will at times, it is true, but we have al
ways supported and voted the Demo-
cratic ticket, the whole ticket and noth-
ing else but the ticket. We have per-
haps made as great sacrifices in behalf
of our political principles as any other
editor in Louisiana. Believing that we
were right, regardless Of consequences
and hope of reward, we have fought
the fight and kept the faith.n We have
not been as self-conspicious and as
loud -mouthed as some, but we have al
ways been present or accounted for,n
when the roll-call of duty summoned
the party to the fight. We have been a
Democrat from choice all our life, and
expect to die in the harness. And it is
because we have shared alike it's bitter
defeats and glorious victories in the
ever memorable past, and yet dearly
love its principles. that we now accept
the situation and eat crow. Yes, we
eat crow-tough crow and great deal
oft, tos,--but we hope we eat it for the
future good Of Democracy. IF we were
not q died d-in- the wool, "unterrifedn
Democrat, we would not support Mem
cry, for we have very little confidence
III him or his immediate advisers, and
candor compels us to say so.R But we
hope to be disappointed in McEnery,
and trust that his next will be an i'm
provemento on his present official term.
We sincerely hope that the people may
be favored with an honest and efficient
administrationsand low taxation.
We shall support the ticket, friend
L0ughry, but your preferred words of
endorsement do not fit our mouth and
we cannot swallow them. We do eat
