THE NAEY.

In the discussion of the naval
appropriation bill in the senate,
Senator Vest said we had 10000
miles of seacoast, 81 800, 100000 of
annual commerce which is rapidly
increasing, and yet we are without
navy or merchant marine, and
our seacoasts are utterly defence
less. Yet since 1861, 1886, 900, 900
has been appropriated by congress
for naval purposes. Italy has the
largest warship and largest gun
aHoat, while this great nation has
cocklc-shells and naval pleasure
boats, and no guns to amount TO
anything; yet VIC were called upon
TO expend more money TO be paid
to John Roach who was build
ing vessels which had been pro-
nounccd by the authorities TO be
defective. Mr.. Vest said he was
unwilling to give money TO the
present secretary of the navy to be
by him handed over to John Roach;
and attributed the merchant ma
rine decay to the policy which sus-
talns such men as Roach. The Re
publicans have spent money enough
on the navy to have had one Of the
best in the world instead of having
: o navy all worthy of the name.

DIFFERENCES SHOULD BE
HARMONIZED. $

For years past there has been
differences among Democrats, and
Republicans too, on the tariff ques-
ton. With differences in the Re-
publican party we have nothing to
do further than that these differen-
ees may induce them to vote the
Democratic ticket. The primary
and chief object of the Democracy
is to accomplish the end and pun
pose of civil government consist
ing in the protection of the people
equally in their rights Of life, lib
scrty and the pursuit of happiness,
through well regulated system
of popular institutions. To .sus-
tam our institutions, revenues be-
comes necessary, which for the
purpose of the federal government
under our constitution, has been
heretofore, and is now, raised by
duties levied upon imports from
foreign counties. All Democrats
agree that no money should be
raised upon imports, except for
purposes of revenue to pay the
necessary expenses of the govern
ment. The Democratic party from
its organization. has made discrimi-
nations in levying the tariff on the
different articles of import with a
view TO encourage and aid home
productive industry and labor,
Democrats of the school'of Jeffer-
son, Madison and Jackson, insist
that the constitution authorizes
congress TO promote the general
welfare in the exercise of the pow
ors granted by the constitution by
selecting the articles to bear the
burden, to so discriminate as to
aid home productive industries
and labor by protecting them from
the low priced labor and material
of foreign countries. The tariff
must be so regulated as to do the
greatert good to the greatest num-
Der, and to this end all minor diff
ferenoes should be amicable adjus-
ted for the general welfare of the
psrty and thepeople.

THE JURY SYSTEM.

The st. Louis Republican, very
conservative paper and a close
watcher of current events, has this
to say in regard TO a subject that is
now uppermost in the minds of a
good many thinking people: 1.-THE
Jury system as applied to criminal
practice is evidently in danger OF
becoming unpopular. Up in the
nico, quiet town of Lincoln ILL.,,
theverdict in the Carpenter case
aroused so much indignation, al
though It was rendered in an ad.
joining county, to which change
ofvenue had been taken, that the
populace held a mass-meeting de-
nouncing the courts, the juries and
the administration of justice fol-
the past twenty years and ended
by warning the acquitted man to
make himself scarce under threat
of mob law. The Cincinnati Incl.
dent is more serious still. 1t seems
that the trouble there is not con-
fined to the simple case which oc'
cas;oned the outbreak. A juror
was fined Friday for making a cor
r1pt proposal to one of the parties
toa suit Tho administration Of
the jury service does not possess
the confidence Of the public, and
whenever the machinery of the
courts is viewed with distrust by
the masses acts of violence will
notbe inffequent. At least they
are exceedingly likely to occur al
any time. These outbreaks are
independent of climate or section
They have recently been seriously
threatened in New Jersey. Connec
ticut and New York. They form
a hideous method of righting s
wrong, and often do frighttul mis-
chief, but they are not the less
significant of the natural outburst
of outraged feeling which refused
to be bound by any restraint II
the face of wrongs which trench
upon the rights of all"

JURYREFoRM.

Newspaper correspondents arc
now busy in suggesting how the
existing jury system can be RENE
died. One of the best means is to
improve the quality of the jurors
by removing the causes that now
disqualify the best and most intel
ligent men in every community
from serving on criminal juries.
Criminal lawyers now consider the
battle half won when a jury Of
their own selection, one that will
answer their purpose and defeat
justice, has been impaneled. The
average prisoner does not want
justice and his attorneys do every.
thing in their power, even TO pack.
ing a jury, in order to prevent his
getting it. The agitation of this
subjuct should be kept up by the
press and the people until the jury
system is completely reformed
The penalty for murder should be
hanging and when it is once gen
orally understood that TO commit
murder means certain hanging.
and that money, friends, social
standing and outside influences
will avail nothing, but that the law
will take its course and do exact
Iustiee, there will be a falling of
/ in the number of murders that will
be absolutely astonishing. Hang
ing for murder is now rarity, not
one murderer in ten ever reaching
the gallows. 1t ought to be the
rule not the exception. People
should look up to and respect the
court; now but few have any re
spect for them and many regard
criminal proceedings, except in
prosecutions for stealing, as veri
table farce and a travity on justice

HE STATE CANVASS.

1t would seem that the press is
determined to open the state can
vass at once. The News has taken
a position against Ireland and it
will maintain it to the last, leaving
no stone unturned 10 defeat his
nomination. If he be nominated
its directopposition will cease, but
its past opposition may have some
effect. Just now the News seems
to be in favor of Hon. Marion Mar
tin, lieutenant governor, who is
credited with having said that
Governor Ireland's course was
calculated 10 aid fence cutters at
the time fence-cutting was rife. 1t
is useless now to discuss this ques-
ton; the people have all the facts
before them and are able to draw
their own conclusions. Gen. Ross,
of Waco, has been mentioned in
connection with the governorship,
and it may safely be said that the
woods are full of gubernatorial
timber. Tho Office of governor of
Texas is one that perhaps no pub;
lie man in the state would decline,
although there arc many very
worthy public men, or men who
have been in public life who Meth
er seek nor desire the Office. The
Houston Post favors ireland, while
the Austin Statesman is busily en-
gagged in a still hunt for candl-
date who can beat him, and we
think 1t will be found if thorough
canvass be made that, the leading
papers advocating the two-thirds
rule have one eye fixed on the
state convention with the very nice
calculation that although ireland
may be the choice of the majority
it cannot get the required two
thirds and that some dark-horse
that has been very carefully groom
ed and trained may come IN and
win the race. The News opposes
the two-thirds rule and wants to
beat ireland on fair square race
on an open field. The BANNER is
not an Ireland organ, but thinks
that Ireland has made a good gov
ernor in the past, as far as his ad-
ministration has gone, and that he
will make a good governor in the
future. His administration needs
no vindication; it has, we think,
been satisfactory in the main to a
large majority of the people ofthe
state, and we shall feel somewhat
disappointed should he not be
nominated. The people should
take the matter In their own hands
when the county conventions are
called and express their honest
convictions, Independent of the
small politicians and convention
mauipulaters, who are to be found
in every county, not only in Tex
as, but in every state in the union.

THE INDIAN TERRTOLRK

Seven railways are now making
application to congress for right
of way through the Beautiful In
dian Territory. Chief Busheyhead
and delegation from the Terri
tory are now in Washington max
ing vigorous protest against
granting the right of way on the
terms asked by the railway COM
panies. They claim that granting
Right of way would be violation
+ treaty stipulations and further
nat it is a scheme expressly de-
ssised to destroy the country of the
i've nations, and would, if consum-
mated destroy the government
policy in the Indian Territory.
What action congress will take in
this matter is of course only TO be
guessed at, but one thing is reason
ably sure, the necessities of COM
meYco require that moro railroads
be built through the Indian Ter
ritory, and built they will be de-
spite the most vigorous protest of
all the leading men in the Terri
tory. When tho territory was
cedcd TO the Indians there was eom-
paratively few railroads IN the
country. Missouri and Arkansas
were in the far west and Iowa was
a territory; there was not a mile
ofrailway west OF the Mississippi
and Ohio rivers. Since that time
" wonderful change has taken
Plaec, though but little improve
ment has been made in the Indian
Terrify. In few years more that
territOry win be opened up to set
Element and the Indians will have |
heir lands allotted to them in
fseveralty, will become citizens
and pay taxes, just like the pale
faces.
