you, Henry, but the truth compels us to say

Intelligent Jurors.
Warsaw Daily Times.

One way in which the intelligent and earnest
friends of law order and justice can promote re-
form in our criminal jurisprudence is by every
intelligent business man promptly accepting
jury service when his name is drawn. One of
the chief difficulties our judges have is in the
act grand and petit jurors in our criminal
courts beg to be excused from serving. They
ought never to be excused, and the judges ought
never to grant such an excuse when asked tor.

The Grain Gambling Evil.
Lafayette Courier.


No merchant in Lafayette who is known to
gamble in grain, can borrow money in any we'll
regulated bank. An enlightened public senti
tinction between gambling at faro and gambling
in grain is distinction without a difference,
save that the grain gambling is far more hurtful
to the best interests of the individual citizen in
all his relations to society. 1t is evil only evil,
and that continuously.

Church Extension Once More.
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
We like the fair and candid manner in
which ''Analyzer" states his objection. 1t is
simply this, that Trinity church has used
the ground to increase the seating capacity
of it's auditorium. The United church would
not use the ground in this manner. There
fore it ought to be denied. We say in reply
that if the United church asked for more
ground than Trinity church this would be a
valid objection If they wanted
to erect a kitchen, dining room or
dorrnitory the objection would be good,
but as they want to use the ground for a
Sunday school room and social prayer meet
ing-proper and legitimate purposes-the OBJ
lection is not tenable We further admire
the churches on the public Green should be
treated all alike. So far as the diffusion of
truth and the promotion of virtue and intel
ligence they are all equally praiseworthy.
Neither do we see that the fact of the United
church owning property which it wants to
justify our city government for not
treating it with the same iberality
as Trinity church. If it is no disgrace for a
good man to own property, it certainly is no
disparagement to a church. We rejoice IN the
prosperity of all the churches. If they do not
strive for existence and prosperity most GER
tainIy they cannot and will not live. From
the opposition this matter has met with one
would suppose that the churches were guard
ed, open only to privileged few, whereas
the truth is just the contrary. They are free
to all, to the extent of their capacity. Any
one who wishes merely to worship and be in
structed can nearly always find seat. The
opposition say that during public parades
the people have to sit on the steps of the
churches We do not see how they could
very well sit on the roofs of the churches,
and as there are no seats between the
churches, perhaps it is quite as pleasant as
sitting on the grass.
