Grandma CsnrfieIh.

Grandma Garfield" is dead. 1t is a
question whether any woman, so simple
and unassumlng, and whose life was so
eventful, ever saw her name become so
mucn a household word. She was one OF
the women whose courage, un5elhshness,
and ready wit in nesting the most for
midable emergencies filed on; pioneer
annals with stories of heroism of the
kind that seldom gets itself sung by the
poets but is none the less effective in the
worlds work for MI of Ihat. Her hus-
bands death left her with four young
shildren, the youngest Of them, the future
President, being only baby, on from
tier farm not wholly cleared, and mo-
even fenced, The brave, tiny woman
toiled not only at woman's work but
mems work, too, to keep her little flock
togetber and save the farm which was
their only foothold. On the day that
James as she always called him in her
simple way, was inaugurated the Presi-
dent Of the United States, and turned,
upou taking the oath to give hsr his first
kiss, it is safe to say that, in the Joy and
pride of that moment, she felt repaid for
all the privations and hardships of those
years when she was strainiug every nerve
TO clothe, feed, and educate her children.
Stories like this represent everything that
is best and most hopeful in American
life

OUR JURY SYSTEM.

How often do people read OF funds be
ing raised To aid in the prosecution of
criminals. This thought is suggested by
the reading of subscription started
among the citizens of town in northern
Wisconsin, TO raise tho money necessary
To aid woman who has large family
and is poor, to prosecute the murder OF
her husband. The circumstance is not
uncommon. The family or friends are
frequently called Upon nova days
to help defray the expenses o
prosecuting criminals at whose hands
they have suffered. 1t IL very common in
deed that large amount Of money is
found necessary, to make 1t Mt all sure that
an offender may be brought to Justice.
This necessity arises from the fact that
the criminal or his friends will pay for
the best legal talent to aid in the defense.
There may be several great jury lawyers
employed which is often the case.
To meet this array of talent, the
prosecution if not willing to
trust to the ability of the
prosecuting attorney, finds it necessary
to employ great legal talent also; and II
il a well known fact that little hope of
Justice is entertained 10y the friends or
the community unless this is done. But
is IL not a shameful state Of factsY Is It
not burlesque on American justice that
such necessity should be allowed TO ex
istY And is thore no way by which such
a thing can be done away WITH To these
questions there can be but one answer
and for this outrage there is but one an
tidote
Tho cause of tho difficulty lies not in
the court, and not in tho prosecuting Of
fioer; but in our jury system: or rather,
in the method by which our iuries are
made up. It arises from the fact that in
telligent men, men capable of grasping
facts and Analysing them, are kept Oft OF
iuries; and in their stead men who are
by nature and education mere toys for
LAWYERS to play with, arc chosen. As 1t
is, the court is formalty and the testi
mony cuts no figure. The question Of
tener is, in prognosticating the result

quent jury lawyersY'

A Swedish boy fell out the window and
was badly hurt, but, with clenched lips,
he kept back the cry of pain. The King,

for he became the famous Gen. Baker.

The Pennsylvania Railroad company
has decided to sell mileage tickets good
for two thousand miles on all is lines
west of Pittsburgh. Why limit the 2
cent rate to any particular portisno OF the
Pennsylvania systemi If passengers can
be carried Tor . cents mile west of Pitts
burgh, they can be carried just as cheaply
east Of that city. The New York Central
has for many years been limited to 2
cent rate by a state law and has found it
profitable TO carry on It's immense pas
senger traffic at that figure. A general
adoption of this rate would have the ef-
feet of increasing railway travel, and in
that way prove profitable all around.

A Prncky Woman

The explorer HolUb, who, two years ago
on hia wedding day, started with his bride
for Central Africa, has reformed to Vienna
He says he would have been killed doz-
eu times in the little known region north
the Zambesi if his wife had not been
with hin. The natives had never seen
any body before who wore skirts, or any
body who had long hair, and they regard
ed Mrs. Hoiub as a supernatural being
who had the white man under her special
protection. One of the tribes proclaime d
her as their queen, and begged hard that
she remain with them. The expedition
was very unfortunate, but Mrs. Holut
sustained all its fatigues and dangers
With fortItude, and returned home in
good health. One of Dr. HOldb's white
assistants was killed by the fierce Machu
kuIumbe, and the explorer and his wife
escaped by forced marches. He lost
most of his botanical collections, but was
able finally 20 bring home 1000 exam Plies
which make nearly 5000 specimens of the
flora of Africa that Holub has taken to

The defalcation of eN-Premier Nor
quay's government will go away beyond
what was at first even limited at Already
Premier Gr6enwsy has discovered q def
cit of over half million. Investigation
has revealed that the sixteen months
from September, 1885, TO January, 1887,
not single entry was made in the cash
book of the Provincial Treasurer. On
the first day of the present month the
cash deficit was 1915, 1850, besides an
issue of provincial bonds to the extent
of 100000, making the total known
deficit $475, 1913 so. u addition to this
there are large number of floating
debts, which it is confidently believed
will wsll the liability to considerably
over 100000.
The examination SHOWS that the quarter
of million subsidy received early in
January had all been spent with the ex.
caption of few thousand dollars, and
qnd that one of the last acts of the
Harrison ministry had been to pay them
selves and most Of the civil servants their
salaries up TO Feb. /. 1t is the intention
of the government TO prosecute the audit
in order that the true state Of affairs may
be learned.
The Provincial Treasurer, Mr.. Jones,
mas returned to the city and will put
couple of experts on the books in or
der to get at tho worst. As the investi-
CATION progresses the excitement over
the defalcation increases. The whisper
that it is the duty of the present ministry
to demand the indictment of their prede-
Hossors is daily growing louder. Very
soon, it seems, there will be general de-
mand for their trial OF their guilty
knowledge of the corrupt and wasteful
use OF public moneys there appears to be
no doubt whatever.
1t is hardly likely that the new ConsSr-
vatives will oppose the reelection OF the
present ministers, as the party is so
much disgusted with the result of the
revelations that it would be impossible to
elect supporter of Norquay. Greenway
intends to gst some other contractor to
take up the Red River Valley Railway
and complete it in spite of the Ottawa
Government. Sir John Macdonald is
becoming alarmed at the turn affairs are
taking in Manitoba. The contem plated
vigorous resistance to his policy has i'm.
PEELED him TO propose compromise.
He promises that the Canadian Pacific
Railroad will build branch lines, and that
his government will make Winnipeg the
head of lake navigation. Other conces-
sions will also be granted if the province
will cease agitation and allow the Can
adam Pacific Railroad to continue in
possession of the monopoly until 1891,
This will never be agreed to. Mantle.
bans are resolved to fight until they are
conceded, regardless OF the consequences
