the stream and the filing in anew of its
bed. We believe it would have that
effect. So, too, if efforts were made to pre-
vent the debris in canyons from descend
ing into the river, the Government would
not quietly submit to such restraining works
being overtopped and destroyed by new
floods of slickens. The river should not
be destroyed, either by hydraulic miners
or governmental neglect, and both agencies
are now pursuing policy that will work
its utter ruin. Hydraulic mining inter
ests can want nothing better in their be-
half on the part of Congress than inaction.
For it must be clear to the dispassionate
observer that effective steps toward reclaim
alton would certainly result in the arrest
speedily of every agency that tended to
render the work futile or to defeat the
ends arrived at.

ROBERT T. L1NcOLNs CANDIDACY

The Continent continues its warm advo-
caey of Secretary Robert T. Lincoln for
the Presidential nomination, despite the
fact that the popular expression, so far as
made is that Mr. Lincoln should, at best
be placed only second on the ticket. The
Continent cannot present any stronger or
more forcible reason for its position than
the "power" of Mr.. Lincoln's name. To
us this is his weakness. The question
should be, not what spurs ones progenitors
wore, but "what is he w Mr. Lincoln is
unquestionably good man, but no one
has yet been found so bold as to exalt him
above other prominent candidates because
of his attainments. If nominated Mr.
Lincoln will receive the hearty support of
the whole Republican party. And it is
entirely probable that he would be a safe
man. But the safe" man is generally
accepted as the negative man. The objec-
tions that present as to Mr. Lincoln are
not personal to him, nor do they involve
at all the question of his availability. He
is Objectionable because there is but one
reason advanced for his nominaton-his
name. He is to be nominated if at all,
because he is the son of his father In his
case this would not at all affect the coun-
try injuriously but we submit that it is
not wise for this Republic to set up
houses ;" to select officers because
of lines of descent. Aristocracies
have their birth in precisely such
precedents. We want men TO lead the Re-
publican party, and not names merely. Mr.
Lincoln has made good Secretary, so has
Judge Folger and Mr.. Teller, and no one
will venture to compare the first to the two
latter as to points of ability. Names"
says the Continent, "must be inscribed upon
our banners which will command universal
confidence and awaken the utmost enthusi-
asm." True enough but we submit that
names merely should do neither 1t is the
man behind the name that inspires real con-
fidence and awakens real enthusiasm; and
back of that it is the record of thought
and deed and life work of the man; and
below all is the sustaining substructure of
principle for which the party stands that
puts the man forward. The contest of
1884 we should prefer to see made upon
Republican principles solely, fortified, so
far as the ticket is concerned, by men
whose career has been marked in their
support by stateslnanlike conduct and ex-
Derience.

THE JURY QUESTION.

a Buffalo Grand Jury has made sig
nificant report. 1t alleges that great
cause of the failure of justice is the ex-
ceeding difficulty experienced in getting
intelligent citizens to do jury duty in get
ting men who feel the responsibilities of
good citizenship, to do the service they
owe to their country. For instance, the
Grand Jury declares that one reason relia-
bic men avoid jury duty is the miserable
provision made for their comfort Another
suggestion advanced is the abolition of the
exemption clauses Of the law. These ex-
emptions really amount to a premium for
avoidance of duty. A contemporary adds
to these the suggestion that the selection
ofjury lists be confded to more capable
boards-those not likely to be influenced
by political considerations The Chamber
of Commerce of Pittsburg recently resolved
that it ought be the law that no man is
competent to serve as a juror who has not
a fixed interest in the country; that is, he
should be either freebooter or a house
holder, and that no excuse, except physi-
cal disability, should be receivable The
same business body declared Its belief that
the selection of jury panels should be re-
moved from the control of local politics.
1t is gratifying that the subject is receiv-
ing so much attention throughout the
country. Out of the multitude of sugges-
ton and advice, some good should come.
The proposal to make property qualiica-
ton we esteem as unworthy consideration
intelligence, and not worldly possessions
should be made the standard Suppose
"a" is upon the assessment roll, but is a
dullard, weak man, one whose Judgment
is vacillating, who is Thread and generally
a stupid fellow. But B" is possessed of
no property, but is a man of in
telligence, of broad public spirit, of
thought and courage, and one whose whole
life testifies to his attachment to good gov
ernment; which will make the better
juror? Which is most likely to hold the
scales of justice evenly? Which is most
likely to be influenced by venal APP
proaches? As to exemptions, they should
all be swept away. No man should be ex-
empt from duty to his country, no more
than from contribution to the support of
government. Boards responsible to the
ballot-box for position, or retention in it,
should not have the power to select jury
lists. Let the Courts do that, and let the
Courts be responsible to the people for the
character of the juries they impanel

judicial officers, but compel them to use
