THE CHICAGO SENSATION.

The developments in the matter of Jury
fixing in the CRoNIN murder case in
Chicago are simply startling. There seems
to have been an organized conspiracy to
prevent the getting Of a jury, or that fail
ing to have a jury thatiwould acquit. ON
GERS Of the court are among the conspira-
tors. There scenes to be plenty of money
back of the scoundrels, indicating that il
is highly important to somebody OF wealth
that the accused should not be convicted
The further progress in the developments
now being made will be eagerly watched
by both the enemies and friends of the
society which, in the minds of not a few
people, is closely connected with the taking
eff of DIR. CRoNIN.
But what is of greater Importance than
the fate of the alleged murderers and the
jury-tixers, is the black eye given to the
Jury system, or rather to the manner OF
obtaining Jurors. The system, rightly
carried out, is perhaps the best THAI can be
dev sed for the protection of society and
the guarding of the rights of individuals.
But it is rarely if ever, rightly carried out.
1t never will be an honest institution, free
from suspicion, as long as the selection OF
jurors is left to individuals. The
open venire always has been, is and ever
will be an invitation and incentive to
bribery, fraud and corruption. Men,
whether officers or private citizens. are
prone to favoritism, and too many OF them
are open to the arguments of the dishonest
and the bride giver. The officer who goes
out with a venire for the selection of jurors
is given responsibility and power which
should be conferred on no man, for it lies
with him largely to say whether or not
justice shall prevail and righteous verdict
be returned. Without specifying instances,
nobody will deny that the open Venire has
been employed often to procure juries that
will aequit or convict, according as the
officer may desire, or as he has been paid
by the parties interested. OF course there
are officials who cannot be reached by cor
ruptionists; there are also men beyond a
price, notwithstanding the old saying tG
the contrary. But they are rare, and there
are no men who are absolutely without
fear or favor" though some are stronger
than others in resisting the influence OF
these sentiments. Juries should be made
up from qualified citizens by mode of Sc
lection which would make it impossible for
an official to choose or reject any individual
In this matter justice should be totally
blind. Even then there would be many
opportunities for the venal and the corrupt
to exert themselves, though their, chances
would be fewer than at present.

MANDERSON'S SHAME.

In what an awkward and ugly attitude
Senator HENDERSON, of Nebraska, stands
before the country, and how much worse
he has made matters by his letter to Sec
rotary NOBLE, the substance of which APP
pears in this issue of THE HERALD! Cor
poral TANNER, in his zeal to get rid of the
treasury surplus, increased MANDERsoN's
pension, the re-rating being made to run
from several years back so as to allow the
Senator a large sum. This was all
done as quietly as it is possible
to do things in government
Office. There was no examination of NAN
DERsoN for the purpose of ascertaining the
actual extent of his injuries and disabili-
ties The late commissioner took it upon
himself to say that the Nebraskan was en-
titled to higher rating than had been
given when the original pension was al
lowed, and thereupon sent a draft for the
increased rate and back pay. The matter
leaked out before the Senator had chance
to add the money to his already great for
tune, and such a storm of indig-
nation was raised that HENDERSON
deemed it polite, at least, to
not draw the money just then. The wisdom
of this course has now been demonstrated.
Secretary NOBLE decides that TANNER eX-
ceeded his authority in giving the money,
and that HENDERSON did wrong in accept
ing it. The Senator thereupon, not being
entitled to the money, returns the draft,
with letter which is a mixture of the
baby act plea and impudence, and about as
contemplate crawl out as one can i'm
agine In brief, the Senator says, in sub
stance, that he was in doubt as to whether
or not he was entitled to the cash, but he
was willing TO hold on to the money if he
could do so without trouble. He
pleads in justification of his pecu-
liar course his heroic conduct on the
field of battle and says that if it were held
that he was entitled to the money it was his
intention not to profit by it. The letter
suggests that MANDERsoN' friends should
either call him in, where they can look
after him, or invite a commission to inquire
into his sanity. The whole case, from first
to last, conveys the impression that the
Senator thought he was party to a mean
and contemplate proceeding to get a
few thousand dollars from the federal
treasury, but was all the time
keeping open hole through which to es-
cape if the pursuit became too hot. 1t did
get too hot, and he retreated through the
narrowest opening which a man of his
proportions ever entered. 1t is disgrace
full that man occupying a seat in the
United States Senate should be in the
position in which the senior Senator from
Nebraska finds himself to-day.

THERE IS DANGER.
deferred.

1t is an interesting telegram from Denver
On Sunday evening two wires were
crossed in the telephone exchange, and the
results were a fire, the rendering useless of
1,500 wires, and damage to the extent of
81 900 to the building in which the exchange
is located. This disaster was little worse
than the one which occurred here the other
morning, and what is more, the accident
seems to have been the result of careless
ness wholly within the telephone company.
Within very few days we have been as
sured that there was absolutely nothing to
be feared by the public from these con-
facts of electric currents, and those
who apprehended danger have been
sneered at. Notwithstanding these assur-
ances and sneers, THE HERALD believes
there is real danger, to property, if not to
life. The Denver catastrophe demon
strates the correctness of this, as the set
ting on fire of several telephones here
abouts has also proven.
1t is insisted that something be done in
Salt Lake for the better protection of the
public against the constant threat to life
and property which now exists. We are
not charging the responsibility upon any
body, but are saying that there is re-
sponsibility, which should at once be
established and then the evil reduced to
the minimum. If something be not done
soon the public will indulge in a howl that
will be exceedingly unpleasant to the
negligent parties. Assurances of absolute
safety will not assure very much in the
face of successive demonstrations of the
fact that there is real danger

says. More than any other man INGALLS,
has brought Kansas and her people into
notoriety. Indeed, what would the
country know of Kansas if it were not
for INGALLS,! There would be almost
absolute ignorance of the fact that there is
an American commonwealth that delights
in being represented in the United States
Senate by man who attacks the living
and the dead with equal facility, who in
vents and circulates the most outrageous
ISLANDERS of one of the purest and sweetest
women who ever graced the White House,
and who writes more foolish letters than
any other man in politics. 1t is important
that the country should know there is such
a state as Kansas, and that it delights IN
such son as INGALLS,.
The earnestness and desperation OF the
Senator would indicate that there is dis
position on the part of some of the people
of Kansas to enjoy less distinction and have
a more creditable representative in the
upper house of Congress.

The vAsTNERs of North Dakota and the
sparseness of it's settlement, are illustrated
by the circumstance that the Episcopal
bishop of the state is having car built in
which to make his visits. Accommodations
for strangers are so scarce that he fre
quently finds it necessary to occupy rooms
in the country hotels with three or foui
men, none of whom he has ever before
seen, and occasionally bed cannot be hao
at any price. Hereafter he will take his
bed and shelter with him. The car will
also be sort of a chapel, in which service:
will be held at stations and little towns
which do not have churches

''THERE's NOTHING like the shotgun in
Mississippi politics. The Republican party
in that state is now without ticket in the
field. The Republican state candidates
have withdrawn. They did not care to
take chances against the shotgun, and at
the same time they did not want to involve
the negroes in the trouble that would in
evitably ensue." So says the Omaha Re
publican. What the Republicans down
there actually do dread is the 80, 900 or more
Democratic majority which Is sure to over
take them.

GAZETTE.

The GAZETTE, chronologically,
is in the NINETIETH year of its ex-
istence, and is not only the Oldest
paper in the State, but, with few
exceptions, in the country.
Notwithstanding the fitness of
its years, it has kept, and will con-
tinue to keep, abreast of the times
IN all that pertains to NEWS paper,
furnishing its readers daily with a
perfect mirror of passing events,
domestic and foreign.
Its facilities for obtaining news
as they increase are taken advan-
tage of and used for the benefit of
its readers, who are thus kept
thoroughly posted as to all that is
of interest politically, socially, fl
nancially or commercially.
Special attention is given to mat
tiers concerning the State and its
welfare, while its local columns
contain all that is of the slightest
interest to Alexandrians.
Its regular correspondence from
Washington and Richmond are fea-
lures of peculiar interest, as attest
ed by the eagerness with which
they are read and copied by other
papers, while its editorial depart
ment, conducted with reference to
the best interests of the city, State
and country, will continue to ad-
vocate what is believed to be right,
just, honest and patriotic.
With view to the interest of
merchants, farmers and all inter-
ested, its commercial columns are
carefully edited and its market re-
ports are acknowledged by all to
be faithful and accurate.
Through all this section of the
State, and in all parts of the coun-
try where Virginians have located,
there will the GAZETTE generally
be found, and thus as an advertis-
ing medium it has few equals out
side the large cities.
In the household, counting room
and workshop it is an ever-welcome
visitor, acceptable alike to old and
young, the grave and the gay.
