THE JURY FIXERS.

San Francisco has not been so
stirred up for years as now, over
the light fine imposed by Judge
Edmends on the three jury fxers.
A poor widow sued rich corpor-
alton to recover damages for the
death of her husband, caused
through its criminal carelessncss.
To defraud her out Of her just de-
mands three men approached men
of the jury who were sworn to do
Justice between the parties. and Of
fered them money for a verdict
that would be satisfactory to the
railroad company. They said IN
effect: This corporation is. we
admit, responsible for the death of
this man. and we expect Will have
to pay for it. but if You vii! keep
the amount which it will have to
pay his widow within $1,000, we will
pay You for your perjury.
The three men when tried for
embracery made no defense. and
were let off with the nominal fine
of $500 each. Such Il ridiculous
fine was in effect licensing the
crime and fixing the license fee at
$500.
There is absolutely no precedent
for such a light punishment: the
precedents are all the other way.
Some years ago at Stockton Z SUI
perior Court sent mother to
prison for fourteen years for sub
ornation of perjury in fixing a
witness in case where her son
was charged with felony. Judge
Morrison. years ago in San Fran
cisco, held s. B. Hussellman, a
juryman, to answer before the
Grand Jury for approaching one of
the parties to an action and offer
ing to be fixed" The fellow was
convicted and sent up for five
years.
The newspapers Of the city took
the matter up, and the result Of
their comments is that new COM
plants have been sworn out, and
the three men are to be tried again.
Their sojourn in San Quentin
seems to be pretty certain

The Springfield Republican b

The Springfield Republican has
a very bad attack of civil service
fever, and after citing about doz-
en- prominent politicians VINO de-
sire the Presidential nomination OF
1888, it suggests that none of them
are very earnest in their desire for
Civil Service Reform. We heartily
agree with the Republican and may
add that no politician who is wise
in his generation dares to take any
amount Of stock in the patent
Civil Service nOstrum. No man
who expects or wants to be the can
didate Of his party for President,
can afford to sympathize with the
"non-partisan" cranks. All the
more prominent and all the less
prominent candidates for the ma
tional nomination, all the men who
are pushing or being pushed by
boons are fully aware that nobody
who is not known to be confirmed
and earnest partisan, the more
jealous and vigorous the better,
can have any chance of being taken
up by either party. The slowness
and hesitation shown by Mr.. Cleve-
land about making the Civil Ser
vice Democrat have not dulled
but have whetted the eagerness Of
the Democrats to get in, and of the
Republicans TO stay in. The gen.
eral disgust with Mugwump pre-
tensions has produced a reaction,
and on both sides the demand for
faithful and active and offensive
partlsans has never been greater.
Alas, the poor Mugwump. He is a
good deal like the squirrel in the

The Newspaper Plant.

It seems that in certain PARKWAY ter
ritories called New Mexico and Arizona,
there are great tracts of desolate desert
lands, where the very hills seem desti-
tute of life and beauty. and where the
earth is shriveled from centuries OF
terrible heat. And in these desert
tracts grow curious, misshapen, gro
tesque and twisted plant that seems
more like goblin tree than a real one.
OF all the trees in the world, you
would imagin this to be the most out
cast and worthless-so meager a living
does it obtain from the waste of sand
and gravel in which it grows. And
yet this goblin tree is now being sought
after and utilized in one of the worlds
greatest industries An industry that
affects the daily needs Of civilization.
Those wise folk, the botanists, cal
our goblin tree by its odd Indian name
of the yucca" palm.
This plant of the desert for a long
time was considered valueless. Bu1
not long ago it was discovered that the
fiber of the Yucca could be made intt
an excellent paper. And now one O
the great English dailies. the Londor
Telegraph, is printed upon paper made
from this goblin tree. Indeed, thu
Telegraph has purchased large plan
tation in Arizona. merely for the pur
pose Of cultivating this tree, and manu-
featuring paper from it. So, you see

Invisible MOtherS-in-Law.

To support the idea that mothers-in-
law have never been favorably regard
ed, ethnologists tell us that singular
custom, which enacts that man shall
never look upon the face of his mother
in-law after he is once married. prevails
amongst numerous savage peoples APP
parently widely sundered by geographic
cal distribution and difference of race.
The custom obtaius among the CAT
fres, of South Africa, among several of
the Australian tribes, and among many
Polynesians. a fact which some people
assume to point to common origin of
these races, but which others look upon
as a testimony of the existence of a
natural law, as a piece of wisdom in
digenous to each of these countries, and
the direct growth of the individual ex-
perience.
The custom being found in such wide
ly separated continents as Africa and
Australia, is considered as proving that
it must have been suggested by some
common necessity of human nature,
and reasons are not wanting to show
why savages discovered it was better
for man not to look upon his mother
ip-law. Primarily, say the supporters
of this theory, because his mother-in-
law was picture in anticipation OF
what his wife was likely to be.
Before marriage, a mans mind may
not be open to the cold processes OF
comparison, but afterward he begins to
consider what sort of bargain he has
made, and if his mother-in-law has not
improved with age, the ghastly posi-
bility of his wife becoming like her rises
before him. Hence these savage tribes
prescribed the rule that never after mar.
rage should man see his mother-in'
law, and this in time became social
law or custom.-NeU York Journal.

The attempt to increase the army Of
the United States from $4,000 to 1000
has failed for this session of Congress.
The reasons given for the increase were
good, and ought to have prevailed. At
the same time the refusal to increase It,
wrong as it undoubtedly was in itself,
bears striking testimony to the pacific
nature ct our government and the
unique position which it holds in the
family Of nations, historical and actual.
The system of government under which
We live is so adjusted that the arbitra-
ment of the sword is one of the more
remote of possibilities.
A recent statement from Washington
gives the number of our civil service
force as ITO, 900, in round numbers, or
more than four times the military force.
The United States is the only nation on
earth. now or at any previous time in
the worlds history, to have a larger
civil than military force, and if the navy
were added to the army the civil list
would far exceed it. The postoffice
alone employs 52,632 persons. These
appointees are not drones, either, but
workers. No doubt there is good deal
of soldering" but no more in proper
ton than in any other line of business.
As class the government employees
are Woodworking, intelligent, and
trusty. Defalcations are rare, and tho
business is most excellently conducted.
The railroads, banks, ETC., of the cOun-
try can none of them claim more eff
cheney or less defalcations. The vol
ume of the work performed, and the
quality of 1t, may well make an Ameri-
can citizen proud of his country. Com.
pare our civil service with that of any
other government and the odds arc
clearly in our favor, despite all the I'M
favorable remarks made about the needs
of reform.
The military service in time of peace,
as it obtains in the old world, is largely
devoted to killing time. A large stand
ing army, with no war on hand. is
vast aggregate of men waiting fol
something to turn up. They are sub
ject to all the decentralization of idle.
ness, and constitute mischief breeders
in the community where they may be
CHARTERED. This is not true of our own
standing army, for it is SO small and SO
occupied, between Indians and forts,
that it is not social plague spot, but
in Europe the standing armies con-
stitute serious and continuous bane, a
potent factor for evil in society. Moth
ing of the kind can be alleged against
the civil service. The 10000 are an
integral part of the industry of the
country, and have no time hanging
heavily upon their hands, operating as
a constant temptation to vice. This
difference is of far more Importance
than the mere economical advantages
of having civil service overtop the mil
itary. The country which can get on
with less than one soldier to four civil
service employees should be accounted
most highly favored among nations

Uncle Pompey's Gallantry.

Old Uncle Pompey Camden lives in
Detroit. He is past 20 years of age,
black as the absence of all light and en-
dowed with the qualities that make the
natural courtier. 1t is true that his oc-
cupation is mental, but he dignifies even
his old ash cart. He was tidying up an
alley for Cass farm patron the other
day when the lady of the house and one
of her daughters, standing on the grass
plot in the backyard, caught his eye.
He had known them many years, and
evidently thought it incumbent on him
to do the gallant act.
..Deed, MISS" said he, addressing
the daughter, 'you'se lookin' mighty
