Fl JURY
An Institution which Has Outgrown
Its Usefulness.

BELLEVUE, April 3, 1884.
To tho Editor Of TuE BxE.
The absuriity of the jury system in
criminal cases is becoming more and more
apparent every day. The folly is being
continually illustrated from cases of petty
larceny up to those of murder in the first
degree. Probably it would be a good
thing if Nebraska had in common par.
lance what is known as a Board of
Pardons. We nave no such laws on the
face of our statutes similar to those pos
sessed by Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,
and other commemorative. We have an
instance of the maladministration Of jus.
tice in the cases of Polin and Hart, MUIR
derers sentenced to death, where Gov.
Dawes saved their guilty necks from the
halter by executive interference. We
have maladministration of justice because
in some instances, judges are ignorant,
incompetent some times, in all probability
corrupt, because weak-minded governors
interfere to release criminals from judi
cial vengeance for a just expiation of their
crime. Yet it is upon tho decision of
such judges and such executives the exc
cution of the law depends. The jury
system finished serving its purpose in
this country when the liberty bell tolled
forth its peals of independence.
1t was invented by our ancestors as q pro-
lection and safe guard against the an
~croachments of royal and lordly tyranny.
Against the despotic will of king governed
aristocrats. 1t was a grand and manly
| adaptation to circumstances. To have
| established and maintained such q princi-
| pie reflects honor upon the heroes of the
revolution and the founders of English
law. Coke and Blackstone's memory will
live while Bacon's will rot. Many and
many is the time the jury system has
saved innocent men from the harass of
| kings and the virulence of their menia!s.
But the days of tyranny and oppression
are now over, they have passed away
more than one hundred years within the
broad confines of the American Union.
1t is time for reform. Judges do not hold
their position at the pleasure of any
sovereign in this country, but by the ex
preston of suffrage at the ballot box, the
vote of the whole people. When elected
judges are supposed to be Independent
during the time they serve. For this ane
many other reasons the jury system ha'
far out. served its usefulness and shoult
be consigned to IN early oblivion. Thu
constitution should BIO amended and thu
action of force abolished. Who will strik'

A week ago last Friday evening Mrs.
Emma Buckley took a pair Of diamond
earrings from her cara while standing in
the basement dining room at the house
of her father, Mr.. Wr. III. WEIGH, 40l
Bridge street, Brooklyn. She wrapped
them IN tissue paper, tossed them upon
the mantle, and went up stairs to bed.
The Stones were handsone brilliants, and
were valued at &20e each.
Some time Later that evening Mrs.
Rida WEIGH saw the c~rumPled bit of pa
per on che mantel. carried it out inGo the
kitchen and threw it iuto the range. Mrs.
WEIGH ia said to be a very neat heuse-
keeper.
The next morning the cook piled de
kindling on the bit of crumpled paper
and built the fire. Two hours later Mira.
Buckley walked into the dining room.
"Did any one see a bit Of tissue paper
on the mantell" she asked.
Eyes," said Mrs, WEIGH, 81 threw it
into the range last night.
The news had an agitating effect upon
Mrs. Buckley, and the family adjourned
to the kitchen, where two very much OK
cited ladies raked the kitchen fire until
the ash pan contained it all. Then the !
Omaha daily bee., 1884-04-07

ash pan was dumped into a coal sitter.
The ladies were by this time very warm
as well as very much excited, and both
alternately raked the ashes and rubbed
the dust from their eyes.
When the ashes and finer coal had
dropped through the sitter into the coal
s%cuttle, a flour sieve was placed over the
dish pan, and the ashes and fine coal were
gradually placed on the sieve. When
about half the stuff had been placed on
the sieve, a small black and yellow chunk
rolled over the edge of the coal
scuttle. 1t was a very warm piece of
gold, and wa all hat remained of the
setting.
A little more raking, and two dia-
monds rolled out of the ashes. They
were a little dusty, but when cool enough
to handle, they were found to be undi.
minished in beauty and value. A New

Philadelphia Record.
The bituminous and block coal miners
of the United States have for years been
endeavoring to form some sort of q union
by which the rate of wages could be
equalized and controlled. Every effort in
this direction has failed, chiefly because
of the fact that there is more than the
necessary number of miners. The presi-
dents of five state associations have re-
Gently been in conference to try to evole
some pan by which the desired results
could be reached. Every reduction has
been followed by a strike, which has
tenued to give prices an upward tenden-
cy. The miners feel their weakness and
recognize the difficulties in the way, but
expect, through the conferences referred
to, to reach some satisfactory arrange
ment.
New England textile manufacturers
are now in the south purchasing sites for
factories to be erected there. : Cotton
mills are to be erected at Trenton, Tenn. (;
