RELIGIOUS READING.
CONSIDER

Sec the lilies, how they grow.
Meier was King appareled SO;
Never vet was vocal tune
Like their melodies of June. "
Yet they neither toll nor spin. g,
Gods good care they flourish IN.
All our faithlcssness He Quclls,
In these summer bridal bells.
God, who clothes the lilies white,
In their music has delight;
Heeds their pure and whispered chimes,
Listens to their silent rhymes.
From their lowly be!fries rise
HYMNS that touch the open skies.
Majesty with meekncss dwells
In the valleys lily bells.
So would we, in fragrant stoles,
Raise to God our simple souls:
Knowing well that He desires
Whitehead hearts to join His choirs.
Notthel oudest, but the pure,
Songs of Heavens car arc sure.
Surely this the lily tells
In its peal of happy bells.

A SUMMER SONG.
With Plenty of Chorus.

i With Plenty of Chorus.
OH! Summer is here with her roses,
And the richest of fragrance they bring;
And her buttercups light up the grasses,
And her song birds right merrily sing.
Bright as purest of gold shine her sunbeams;
Her dew-drops like diamonds are,
And the hum of her bees is most pleasant.
Ira la la! ira la la! ira Ia la!
Ira III la! ira Ia la! ira Ia In!
oh! Summer is here, and the waters
Are splashing and sparkling us though
Many beautiful IainbowS had on them
Been shattered and left there to glow;
And over them snowy-winged vessels
Before the wind gracefully 20,
Every now and then courtesying lightly.
70 no no! 70 no no! yo no hot
70 no no! 70 no no! yo no no!
oh! Snmmeri is here, and the hammocks
In the shadiest places are hung
From the boughs OF the trees, and there's
always
Some sweet, pretty girl to be swung;
And the ground for croquet is quite ready,
And the time for avn tennis has come,
And also for dancing by moonlight.
r Ri-tiddity- iddity tum!
Ri-tiddity-iddity tum!

"The Prore..ienalLnror

DALLAS, Feb. H. Editor HERALp.l-
While the discussion of negro jurors is
up 1t would be well to call attention to
that worst and most depraved of all,
"the professional juror"
You all know him. You have known
him all your lives. The Judge, the sher
iff, the attorneys, witnesses aud clti-
zens OF a countries are as familir with
his cOuntonance in the court-h use and
louuging around adjacent bar rooms
as they are With the town pump. Grim
inals know him too well and rely upon
"hxing him" and beating the ends of
justice Ivy his aid, moro than upon the
talents OF the most cunning lawyer
they can secure for the money.
Court after court meet sin our county,
duly arraign and overwhelmingly prove
prisoners guilty, only TO DO defeated by
these prejudiced and bribed scoundrels.
When wealthy rascal Is to be brought
before tho Oar they rally around the
bailiffs like hungry buzzards aud boldly
and openly ask TO be summoned. You
find them thickly stationed Mt the door
just outside, planted directly in the
walk, across the street, everywhere in
the path of tho bailifi, summoning the
venire. Two thirds of them have al
ready "interviewed" the accused and
agreed upon the price. 1t Is only ne.
ocssary TO secure one to hang the 9th.
or eleven at least and two or three
glib tongued fellows to sway
the rest and swing them into an acuuit-
tai. There is no criminal lawyer in Dial
las who does not know they can be hired
for from 50 to 500 tn bring in any kind
OF verdict, regardless of any and all tes-
umony, law, charge OF the Judge or
sable effort OF counsel for the state"
Place these dead-beats In the iury-boS
and poor fellow without money on
trial, aud they will find him guilty
every time, regardless of the facts il
the case. They then consider themselves
working for nothing and blame him fol
1t.
Here Is the key TO the Jury situation
the real corruption in our court.houses
While not exhonerating our public
officials whose dut, is 20 secure hone II
men To try all causes, our respectable
citizens are not bldmeless. That elias,
most wanted NJ Jurors are men who woulC
willingly pay from $40 10 So per day /,
rid themselves of tho drudgery. They
are each term drawn and duly sum
moned, and each time pay no atten
ton 10 the command of the court. The
court, In turn, pays no attention TO the
contempt, or IL occasionally Imposing
fine, IL IL never collected. Tho writer
himself has been 50 summoned twenty
times since In Dallas, and Just twenty
times threw the document In the waste
basket, and just twenty times heard
no more OF t. All this Is wong, oil
course. But as others who work legiti.
mataly for living do that way, he does
no too. which Il no excuse at all.
Fabrication must begin at the foun.
tain. Our judges should rid their
court-rooms OF dead-beats-.he probes.

Fort Worth FaCtE

Fort WORTH, Feb. d. Correspon-
dence. The statement made by Presi-
dent Sealey, of the Santa Fe, that the
road would not be extended at present,
has caused many to lose hope in the ex-
tension, Notwithstanding the conference
with Col. Gresham. A great many
would greatly prefer to sec road built
to Waxahachie to connection with the
Central, and say they will aid the road.
The air is blue with railroad talk, but
nothing is tangible but the thirty-fiVo
miles being built on the Fort Worth d
Denver.
The suggestion of w. l., Han, esq, as
reg lister of the treasury, is heartily en-
dorsed by several Of the prominent citi-
zens of Fort Worth, who know the gen-
tleman's business ability. 1t is consid-
cred that the appointment would only
be merlted acknowledgment of the
loyal service of the HERALD to Democ-
racy when other papers had weakened.
Mr.. Hal can rely upon strong support
IRON this city ii he needs it.
A young man who gives his name as
Edward Porter Andrew, was arrested
here for John Jerlin, wanted for extern
stvo cattle and horse stealing In Milan
county. Andrew says the officers have
the wrong man, aud threatens a damage
suit when tho sheriff of Milan finds out
his error. Several officers here are in
clined to tho opinion that an innocent
man Is in custody.

Inaurance Notes.

The Review, New York journal de.
voted chiefly to insurance business,
says: "rhe proposed valued policy bill
in tho Minnesota Legislature was
dumped upon tho Minneapolis Board of
Trade, as a topic of discussion, the other
day, by Mr.. Atwater who offered res
oiution as follows: Resolved that the
members of the legislature from Henne-
pin county be and hereby are requested
to use their efforts to secure the passage
of the bill making insurance companies
liable for full amount stated in their
policies in case of a total loss of the
property insured The st. Paul ind
Minneapolis Pioneer Press gives this ac-
count of the subsequent proceedings,
which, as will be seen, were rather too
much for Mr., Atwater, whose resolution
was temporarily (and we must hope will
be indefinitely postponed:
'Mr. Corser opposed the resolution, as
any such law as proposed would be
premium on fraud. If the law were
passed, it should apply only TO building
risks and not TO stocks. 1t was a prem
ium on fraudulent insurance. He moved
an amendment that the law DO made TO
apply only to building risks.
Mr.. Atwater said the trouble was the
insurance companies were willing TO
take too much insurance. They were
ready enough TO take the premiums, and
would not pay the losses except in the
courts.
Mr.. Dale hoped the amendment would
not prevail. His experience had shown
him that contests with tho insurance
men under the present law were next
to inevitable. AS a general thing, no
good merchant wants to insure beyond
what is legitimate and right.
Mr.. Wyman hoped tho amendment
would prevail. He thought It's adoption
would be to put TO a premium on dishon-
est men, ana the insurance mon would
make up the loss by additional pre-
miums on honest insurers.
Mr.. Mcmillan made the prediction
that if tho law was passed not more
than one in five Of the present insu
rance companies would continue in
business.
Mr.. Dale: There will be a hundred
new ones come in.
Mr. Mcmillan: There is no such law
as proposed In any state,
Mr.. Medal: Yes, there Is, in Wiscon-
sin.
Mr.. Mcmillan: 1t refers to buildings
only.
Mr. Medal: 1t refers to personal
property, as | have occasion TO know
from some recent personal experience.
Mr.. Corser said il was sweeping
charge that the insurance men encOur-
aged the taking of more insurance than
is authorized. The cases where the in
surance men objected to the payment of
losses we. o always heard from, and the
cases where the losses were promptly
paid seldom. He said there were in
Vulnerable cases where there was owl
dence OF fraud, but the companies paid
the loss rather than go through the
trouble of contest. The best system
of insurance was the French system,
where the loss is not paid unless the fire
originates in IA building other than the
one insured.
Mr.. Bracket asked il it was not n fact
that the adjusters received a percentage
on the amount of money they succeeded
in saving to the company.
Mr.. Corser replied that they were paid
asalary.
The matter was finally postponed for a
week.

sfonai jurors. Perhaps it would be a
good idea 20 repeal the law allowing
pay for jurors. Members of the British
parliament get no wages, and cOrrup-
ton there Is thing never heard of, for
the reason men who can be inoculated
with the virus of money never set seats
in that purest of all earthly legislative
bodies. Place our jury system upon
that basis, and then impecunious ras-
Gals will cease to be Jurors.
We have plenty of law-plain, unvar-
nished, stringent. Law to meet every
grade of crime, to punish every sort Of
criminal and to shield the innocent.
What We need is to kick loafers out OF
the court house and call upon the incor-
ruptible grade of citizens to enforce il.
And we have law officers, part OF
whose duty is to perform this identical
work. Let US demand this of them. AS
they are now running, the courts of our
cou ntry are looked upon with more OF
less contempt-spoken of as produce
exchange whore you can bargain and
sell, purchase and barter, according to
the money you can command.
