DELAWARE BREAKwATER, DEL, Jan. 5.-Tho
British ship Adolphus, which cleared London
on Nov. 20 with a cargo of chalk and empty
petroleum barrels, and struck on the Shears,
just outside the breakwater, on Monday, has
become total loss. The tug North America
succeeded In getting hawser on board the
ship, but failed TO move her. She has her bot
tom stove in and is full of water, and nothing
can be saved but her rigging and portion OF
her cargo. Capt. Sanders and his crew of
twenty men are at Lewes. The Adolphus regis
tered 1879 tons. and measured $50 feet in
length, 3513 feet beam, and az feet depth of
hold. The loss will be nearly 100000.
LEwEs, DEL. Jan. "a survey held to-day
on the ship Adolphus condemned her, and she
will be stripped
A survey Of the ship Savannah pronounced

RUSSIAN APPLE CRAFTS.
The AcclimatIzation Of Hardy Fruits
in the Northwoat,


a distribution of Russian apple gratis TO
western nurseries has been commenced by supt
Saunders, Of the propagating branch Of the
agricultural department. These were brought
over by Leo Welt, recently returned from a
tour TO Germany. The idea originated with
Mr. saunders In 1869 upon reports from north
cru Wisconsin and Minnesota that the severe
winters had killed all the apple trees but II
few, and those OF Russian origin At that time
by diplomatic move upon the Russian i'm
Tcrial botanical garden he obtained collcC-
ton of 500 apple trees, with half that number
Of varieties, and had them planted in piece
Of ground later devoted TO the sorghum eX.
pertinent in the agricultural grounds These
gratis were distributed and later fruit was
raised from them, but they are now in state
Of decay, though the resulting fruit trees In the
west are now furnishing apples for consump-
ton all the year round In the coolest sections
The system of exchange by which these first
specimens were obtained Is still kept up with
the leading botanical institutions of the old
world, native trees and shrubs together with
seeds, being sent across and In return valuable
contributions Of agriculture and horticulture
are received. The recently-recelved gratis
number little over 100 and they will only be
sent TO nurserymen In the northern sections Of
the country.

THE JURY SYSTEM.

The jury system is not all it should be;
it permits avoidance of duty by classes
that should have most interest in its purity
and efficiency. But complaining debate
and cropping in the midst of host of con-
ficting suggestions of its ills, will not lead
to reform. The discussion in the press
just now on this topic, is doleful and not at
all vigorous. The thing to do, the evil
being freely laid bare, is to take up
methods OF reform, discuss them calmly
but with vigor, and cease bemoaning pres
ent conditions Defective as is the system,
it is not half so bad as is made out" For
it is the easiest of matters to find fault and
point out defects, but vastly more difficult
to apply remedies and suggest specifics.
The jury system is up to the level of con-
trolling public sentiment now, else it could
not endure. If it were below the plane of
the general public conscience it would not
have been tolerated so long as it has.
Public sentiment is at fault, and hence the
system is defective An essential step in
advance would be to make an effort to
bring public thought pace beyond COM
planning, and this is to be done by ration
ally convincing it of the need of reform for
its own good. When men are once shown
that improvement of the jury system
means less litigation, exaetitude in
the administration of justice, greater GER
tainty in the execution of the laws de-
crees, less expense in the conduct and
maintenance of courts and lessened taxa
ton, they will fortify such legislation as
will apply correctlves. The jury system
has not, as a San Francisco contemporary
suggests is possibly true, outlived its use
fulness. On the contrary, no acceptable
substitute for it has yet been proposed, and
until that is done it justifes lis right to be
maintained. Human Judgment must arbi-
trate in all conflicts between men; the
method of the process involves a jury of
twelve or less, ur unanimous or ma
jority verdict. 1t involves methods that
may be employed in securing competent
arbitrator, and in hedging them about
with guards against corruption. But so
long as men must judge between men, a
jury system will exist, in one form or
another.
