Expenditures beyond the
means Of private individuals are
required for surveys, engineer
ing, and the construction of res

Resolved, That two years
experience has demonstrated
that the present jury law which
compels citizens, at their own
expense, without regard to their
pecuniary ability or the losses |
they may suffer, summarily to |
suspend their usual occupations, |
break the.r business engage

remain from their homes for an |
uncertain period, and attend up |
on District Courts as .jurymen, is
q measure of unwise economy, |
often productive Of great hard
ship and an unjust imposition
OF public burdens upon private
individuals. We therefore de-
mand OF the next Legislature
such legislation as shall secure
TO all citizens fair compensation
for all the time which they spend !
and full reimbursement for all
expenses which they incur i'll
performing the duties of jury
men in the District Courts.

shown by his unanswerab!e
speeches in Cong against the
Of duties upon foreign
manufacturers and foreign pro-
ducti"ns, which exposes in a
style and in 4 clear
and forcibIe manner the free
trade doctrines Of modern De
mocracy. Hisa5le and exhaust
i've speeches upon the remone-
tiZation of silver, particularly in
the last speech in Congress upon
that subject, in which he has
displayed more strongly his abii-
its to render the abstruse subjects
intelligent to the common mind.
thereby replacing and uphold
ing the ola time-honored Amer

rightful position as a part of our
circulating medium and pur-
chasing power; and its logical
and overwhelming arguments in
favorof the passing of the Chi
nese Restriction and Exclusion
Bill and amendments thereto
Turing the last Congress.
Resolved, That our able
Representative in Congress,
Hon. William Woodburn, de-
serves the united thanks of the
people Of this State for his con-
slant zeal and watchfuI care
over the true interests of the
