Shall We Abolish the jury!


Inc counsel 10 the suit of the United
States against the Bell Telephone Com
pany have decided to have the trial
take place in Columbus, Ohio, instead
OF Washington or Boston, fearing the
powerful interests of that company in
those cities would enable it to corrupt
the jury. The st. Paul Pioneer-Press
makes this circumstance a text for an
editorial covertly advocating the aboli-
non OF the jury system. But this seems
a very violent, dangerous and uncertain
remedy for corruptions in trials at law.
1t is true that juries have been corrupt
ed; but men are by nature corruptible,
and no feasible plan has ever been pro-
posed to have legal issues tried before
court of angels. 1t is certainly no
easier (rather less easy) to corrupt
twelve men than one-a jury than a
judge. Great corporations have often,
when they found in their way Judges
who could not be bribed, removed those
judges by giving them employment as
their attorneys at salary too large to
be refused. The times are becoming
more and more dangerous for taking
power away from the people and giving
1T to one man. The large body may be
the clumsier. but it is the safer. Our
Wisconsin system of county supervisor
ship has been condemned as making
the county board large and clumsy
body; but 60 into those states where
three men manage the affairs OF the
county, and you will find those three
men a little ring running the affairs of
the county in their private interests,
unless two of them are mere ciphers
except in the hands of the third, a
shrewd fellow ION the make" This
condition of affairs is well illustrated by
the question of county commissioner
in central Illinois to contractor who
had put in bid to build Jail: lis

An editorial in the st. Paul Pioneer
Press the other day, intended to show
the evils of the tariff, furnishes many
examples of pompous phrases which
seem rs if they ought to settle thelwhole
matter, but when examined closely,
don't seem to mean anything particu-
lar. The article has much to say about
a ''free and natural interplay of forces,
which will send prices up or down." as
though anything which is free and
natural is necessarily good. In the
old barbarous times when brute strength
was the measure of right, the brawniest
savage was probably an advocate of
''the free and natural interplay of
forces which" knocks another man
down. The article again says: IF
now, something else comes into play,
if prices can be held up here when they
would naturally go down, or if they
can be kept down when they would
naturally go up, the arrangements of
nature are destroyed, and trade rests
upon an artificial basis, likely at any
moment to be cut from under it," Just
as though, as matter of course, it is
q bad thing to destroy the arrange
ments of nature" and have things
''rest on an artificial basis" But if a
man builds house to shelter him from
the weather, ''the arrangements of
nature are destroyed" and his comfort
''rests on an artificial basis" which is
liable at any time to be taken from
him.

General Crook and Geronimo met at
Lang's ranch, situated twenty. eight
miles southeast of Deming, on Tuesday
of last week. The chief and five bucks
held consultation. and asked permits
sion to return to their reservation peace
ably. Crook refused demanding I'M
conditional surrender Geronimo
refused to give himself up, and, after
consultation, left for his camp, keeping
white flag flying for ten miles or more
Chief Mana and others are still held as
hostages. Geronimo is reported to
have ninety bucks, besides women and
children, with him. No attempt was
made to follow him, and it is not known
what his movements will be. This

tured by Gen. Crooks soldiers in the
mountains of Mexico many months
ago. They had been, and have been
since, guilty of many cold-bloo ded
murders. But instead of being hun Q,

The New american Cardinal.

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-There is undoubtedly
great deal of interest taken in the
question who shall be the new Ameri-
can cardinal to succeed the late Cardi-
ual McCloskey At first the choice of the
Catholic clergy of the country seemed to fall
with great deal of unanimity on Arbishop Glib
bons, of Baltimore, but of late there has been
not little quiet pushing forward of Archbishop
Corrigan OF course the high standing in the
church, the learning and character of the Balti-
more prelate is neither questioned nor depre-
ciated. but thediocese which has built so magnIf-
cent cathedral and numbers among its sup
porters so many people prominent in politics and
society, is naturally anxious to retain the Office
within its limits. A prominent Catholic priest
said to-day that Of the two he thought the selec-
tion Of Archbishop Corrigan, in spite of his COM
parative youth, would be more acceptable to the
clergy of the country, and his long intimate as
sociation with the late Cardinal only made him
all the more eligible

THE TRADE SITUATION.
What Is Shown by Bradstreet's kilograms
from Number of Business Centers

New York, Jan 29.-Special kilograms to
Bradstreets from large number of distributing
centers indicate that general business has not
been so active. The snow blockade of the large
Northwestern railways, which has checked the
movement of trains for the greater part of two
weeks, has just been raised. At New York city
there has been some activity among dry goods
commission merchants, and also at Boston, most
notably in bleached cottons and print cloths. In
other lines at those cities trade may be classed
as fairly satisfactory Dry goods generally
are favorably affected by the renewed buying.
Print cloths IN first hands are quite firm and ad-
varcing; prices yesterday were '3sc per yard for
Gas, against 5-16c week ago. small advance
has been obtained for medium sorts of wool at
the seabord. The strength of the London spring
sales encourages expectations of brisk demand
for material. At Philadelphia there is no general
activity. The distribution of general merchan-
disc from Baltimore has been light, but country
stocks are reported low and orders are accumu-
latiug. Advices from Cleveland, Cincinnati,
Louisville, Memphis, Chicago, ST. Paul, Burling
lington, st. Louis and Kansas City report quiet
movement in trade. At Pittsburg business has
been satisfactory, and at San Francisco pros
poets are said to be good
Iron shows no change in price or demand.
Steel rails are weaker; grocery staples move
slowly; sugar is dull and lower; coffee is irmer,
and tea quiet. Dairy products are dull, but with
a slightly improved export demand. Wheat is
somewhat firmer, and the temper of the specu
lative market is somewhat bullish Corn and
oats are steady; -four is relatively frmer; hog
products are irregular, pork being the leading
speculative product.

THE HOUSE.

The Day Devoted TO Consideration Of Bills
of a Private Character.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-After a few private
measures had been reported by committees, the
House, at $780, went into committee of the
whole-Mr Hatch, Of Missouri, in the chair
on the private calendar.
The first measure on the calendar was Mr.. Nc
Mullins bill providing for the Fourth of july
claims
Mr.. Geddes, of Ohio, explained that the bill
comprised 943 claims, distributed among eleven
States and one Territory, and called for an ex-
penditure of $229,00O
In the course of a short debate which ensued,
Mr.. Browne, of Indiana, declared that the gov
eminent treated its creditors shamefully, espe-
cially il those creditors were small claimants,
living far from Washington, and too poor to Sc
cure the services of some one to log roll their
bills through Congress.
The bill was laid aside for favorable report
A long discussion arose over the next bill, re-
ferring to the Court of Claims for adjudication
the claim of the personal representative of c. NJ.
Briggs, deceased, for proceeds of captured cot
ton, now in the Treasury Several amendments
were offered, spoken to at length and subse-
quently withdrawn. The first amendment upon
which vote was reached was one offered by Mr..
Holman. of Indiana, authorizing the court to de-
termine the claim under the provisions of the
Bowman act, and to report to Congress the cause
of the delay in the presentation and prosecution
of the claim. This was rejected-44 to g.
On motion Of Mr.. Rowell, of Illinois, an
amendment was adopted directing the court to
inquire into the loyalty Of G. M. Briggs, and Of
the person from whom he obtained title.
Mr.. Gibson, of West Virginia, suggested the
propriety Of amending the bill SO as to require
the court to determine whether the cotton was
grown on loyal ground, was picked by loyal
hands and was itself loyal
On motion of Mr.. Burrows, of Michigan an
amendment was adopted providing that if Mr..
Briggs, or the person from whom he derived
title, shall be found to have been disloyal, the
claim shall be dismissed
The committee then rose and reported the
two bills to the House, when they were passed.
The House then took recess until 7:30 this
evening-the evening session to be for the
consideration of the pension bills.
The House. at its evening session. passed
about fifty pension bills. and adjourned until
Monday

IRISH PIXIES FOR INSURGENTS.
Formidable Weapons Being Manufactured b.
the Nationalist in Minnesota.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Jan. pa discovery of
mandatory of Irish pixies is said to have been
made in this city A prominent Nationalist,
while declining to go very much into details,
said these pixies are being made as an expert
ment, and in certain events are to be used IN
arming Metis, ex-half breed insurgents, in case
it becomes necessary to draw the attention of
Canada to her Western borders in order to dis
tract it from scenes over the water. If coercion
in Ireland is resorted to the next uprising in the
Northwest will be by men thoroughly armed with
these pixies. They are now being made in Min
neapolis, and could be put to that purpose.
1t was learned in conversation with promi-
nent member of the National League that WI
A. jackson went to Chicago at the time of the
meeting, on Jan. 20, of the executive committee
of thesLeague, and had long consultation with
them. This member exhibited no surprise when
told of the manufacture of the pike, and bandly
said he had seen one, and it was formidable
weapon" The formidable weapon is the pike
used with snch deadly effect by the Irish insurg-
gents against the British soldiery in the days of
49," The one seen resembles saber bayonet.
but broader. strong and doubleedged, and made
of the best quality of steel.

A HOLSTERS Unappreciated Social Enterprise.

Washington Correspondence Boston Traveller.
A young man from Indiana, who came here
several months ago, has just been caught at a
very neat trick, for which the young ladies in So
ciety here are giving him a decidedly frigid
shoulder When he first arrived he had the very
good fortune to be introduced to young belle.
He was invited to call, and did so. He met quite
anumber of young ladies. but that was altogether
too slow for him. Then he decided to make ac-
quaintances by the wholesale He would call at
reception and ask if the belle had arrived, al
ways making sure first that she was not there.
The hostess seeing a passably good-looking
young fellow in dress suit would inform him
politely that Miss Dash had not yet arrived, and
would invite him to come in. Invaribly he &C.
cepted, and produced his card. after which he
was introduced to the ladies present He kept
up this game for some time. but after awhile the
ladies began to compare notes The result has
been that he is invited nowhere If ever man

he hasn't gone further than Georgetown, accord

How to Nominate Candidates.

TO the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal
On the 18th proximo call for congressional
nominating conventions in this State will be
agreed upon. In order that the district assem-
blies may have an opportunity to devise some
thing better, publish these suggestions:
The members of our party are entitled to a
voice in selecting party nominees. In this way
the party can be united. The jealousies of
rings. clioues, and counties will be weeded
out by careful attention to the composition and
business Of our nominating conventions.
Each congressional nominating convention
should consist of one member for each voting
precinct, without any alternate.
Each member should be elected by the Repub-
licans of his own precinct at the same time and
in uniform manner. This can be done by a
precinct mass convention.
The voting should be by ballot on call of the
roll of members. and repeated until majority
OF all members vote for one man, who will
thereby become the nominee.
This method of nominating would be repub-
lican, and no 'bolt' or scratch" would reason
ably follow. S. P. THOMPSON.
