Jurles and JurVmen.

It is current notion that the reason
why so few first-class business men arc
found upon our juries is that they are
excused by the courts The returns
show that such men rarely get upon tho
jury lists. In the exceptional cases
where such men are returned to serve
it is no doubt one of the most inn
portant duties of Judge to brace him.
self up against yielding to any but the
best Of excuses. Boards of Trade would
do well not only to inculcate it as q
point of honor that none of their mem
bers should seek to shirk this grave
public duty, but also to see to it that
their class be properly represented.
And here let me add that the general
hardship of jury duty is over-estimated.

the end of term confess to me not
only the satisfaction they have felt in
performing this function, and the in

their surprise it was SO little onerous.
Connected with the elevation of the
character of the jury is the question of
their better treatment. The two re-
forms 90 hand in hand. 1t is no doubt
essential to preserve the strict control OF
the presiding Judge over the conduct OF
the jury; but it is now the aim Of
thoughtful Judges to exercise this con
troll with the utmost courtesy that Cir
cumstances allow. The jurors are, in
truth, part of the court, sitting under
the same solemn obligation, and en-
gagged in the same serious duty. Re-
spect from others tends to increase
their self-respect, cannot but feel
that the more they are treated as gen

the call upon them to act as such. /

CHOLERAl CHOLERA I
THE DEADLY MARCH OF THE sCoURGE
COMING.

COMING.
The great law of our nature is, to pre-
serve our life and health. The cholera
has taken up its march of death in
France and other old countries, with its
face to the west. 1t is very important
that the inhabitants Of our beautiful
city of Kenosha should set to work at
once to cleanse the city of all filth, stag
nant water and refuse matter that is so
often thrown into the alleys and around
houses to tester and decay, thereby pro
ducing disease and death. Individual
families can do much to keep off this
terrible scourge, and not only the chol-
era but other malarial diseases.
BY little labor around each house
and lot, the danger Of disease will be
much lessened.
See that sewers and drains are clean
ed out, decaying vegetables and other
filth Immediately removed.
Now is the time to attend to this mat
ter. Do not delay for one day.
The Board of Health of the city viii
do all in its power to guard against the
coming of the cholera or any disease
that arises from such filth.
1t depends more on individual citizens
to keep their premises free from thi;
source of disease than any Board Of
Health can do.
| A word to the wise is sufficient.
