International Congress.

The long talked of Congress for
the countries of North and South
America, to meet in Washington
Nov. "a, is beginning to have arriv-
ais from the far South, and will
doubtless be an event of great inter
est. The program of the route over
which the delegates from distant
lands are to be carried by the cour-
tesy of this government, extends
over 5000 miles, and no doubt
every attention will be given to favor
ably impress the visitors with the
great resources of the United States.
Judging from what is now said
about the coming Congress, it looks
as if the design of it, as purposed by
James G.. Blaine many years ago,
was being departed from. The
original object, as expressed by Mr..
Blaine, was to agree on form of
tribunal, to which all differences be
tween government on this continent,
such as are likely to lead to war,
should be taken for adjustment.
This was the peace plan suggested
many years before by Elihu Burritt
for Worlds Congress. Chief of
what is now said in respect to the
International American Congress is
the advantages it will open for the
establishment of commercial rela-
tions and securing a profitable trade.
This is all desirable, and it may be
that peace has become such an as
sured fact in the late revolutionary
states of South America, that all
danger of hostile acts is passed.

Congregational Convention.

The state convention of Congre-
gational churches held at GAINESVILLE
last week was we'll represented. Re
ports were received from one hun
dred and sixty-fve churches. A
statement of the receipts and expen-
ditures of the churches and additions
the past year was received, from
which it is seen there has been an
encouraging increase of membership.
Madison takes the lead in additions
to the church, being 100, giving a
total membership of that church Of
688, with an average congregation of
about the same. Eight churches re-
port contributions for benevolent
objects from $1,000 to $1,000.
Twenty churches raised for expen-
ditures from 81, 900 to $I8,74o, APP
pleton being in the lead. Societies
of Christian Endeavor are making
rapid progress; nearly every church
in the state has connected with it
one OF these organizations. The
convention recognized the import
ance of temperance work by the fol
lowing resolution: ResoI0ed, That
we advise all our churches and pas
tors to carry out in some definite
and systematic way temperance work,
especially aiming in moral suasion or
total abstinence, and in legal suasion
at entire prohibition" Convention
adjourned to meet at Madison next
September.

aore to the letter of the law.

more to the letter of the law. The
trials by jury in justices courts are
often farcical; juries are hastily got
ten together indiscriminately without
regard to intelligence or other quail
fcations. The class of men who are
generally summoned are not business
men, but are often such as are found
on street corners, without fixed oc-
cupation. A man who has no gen
eral knowledge of the general prin-
ciples of law is not apt to be quail
fed to judge in many matters of
equity where no legal principles are
involved. Moral rights are but i'm
perfectly understood by many good
citizens. A juror with no education
and no knowledge of law may Judge
we'll of the value of a dog or a shot
gun.
What is most needed is a change
in the selection of jurors, particular
ly in the Circuit Courts. A large
class in cities who are excused from
service because they are accounted
business men or persons Of promin-
ence, are the very men who should
serve as jurors and help to give char
acter to the courts.

Jury Reform.

The legislature of this state passed
several amendments at its last SEES
sion to the jury system, some of
which are improvements, but the
greatest evils complained of in the
lower courts have not been reached.
A iury law was enacted last winter
which applied only to the county of
Milwaukee, and judging from what
is said of its workings in that county
at a recent term of court, it has been
productive of radical reform. 1t
secured for jurors class Of men who
were seldom, if ever, known to serve.
Spectators coming into the court
room were surprised to see on the
bench as Jurors men who had for
wears been excused from service on
the ground of press of business.
Merchants, bankers, and those of
large business engagements were not
shown favoritism by the court, but
obliged to take their seats on an
equality with those of less prestige
of wealth and position. An exchange
speaks of the merits of the new law
as follows:
at was the first day under new
Jury law for the higher courts. Men
of brains and standing in the COM
munity, as business men and good
citizens, appeared where the profess
sional juror, the politician and the
loafer had held sway as aides in the
enforcement of law, 1t was revo
luton calculated to inspire the
thinking citizens with feelings of re
turning hope for properly admins
tered Justice, and the presence of
reputable men in the jury box seems
to lend dignity to even the seats in
the halls of justice.
Trial by jury of late years has be-
come less respected than years ago.
It has been said with much of reason
that more exact justice would be
rendered according to the law and
testimony, by submitting cases in
controversy to the decision of the
court without referring them to the
jury. It is probably true that in
nine instances out of ten criminal
charged with grave offense would
prefer to have his case go to the
finding of a jury than to the court.
Juries commonly have a leaning to
leniency, while the court adheres

Republican Conventions.

New York and Massachusetts Re
publican conventions were both held
on Wednesday Of last week. The
platforms adopted in both conven-
tons do not differ materially from
those agreed to at previous conven-
tons, except the ballot reform ap-
pears to have assumed sudden pop
ularity throughout this country. 1t
has. not vet had time to be put on
trial Wisconsin has got the law
and strong hopes are entertained
that it will secure the needed reform.
If this country is to be saved from
misrule, the ballot must be guarded
against abuse and perversion. One
of the most embarrassing questions
of the day for nominating conven-
tions is how best to dispose of the
LIQUOR problem Different views are
entertained. Guarded language has
to be studied in formulating party
platforms. The necessity is recog-
nized by Republicans of giving some
expressions of sentiment on the sub
iecs of temperance, in order to keep
earnest men in the ranks. There
can be no concealing the fact that
the number of Republicans is in
creasing who believe something
should be done to restrain the liquor
traffic. Massachusetts, can venture
to be more outspoken on the liquor
evil than some other states; that
state declared in its late convention.
"That the law against the saloon
shall be maintained, and no back
ward steps taken. That further leg
islation shall be had, whenever it
shall secure better suppression OF
this terrible evil" The New York
Republican convention took a de-
cided stand on important questions
at issue; that state elects no Cover
nor this year. The prominent officer
to be chosen is Secretary of State,
and for that position John L. Gill
bert, one of the leading temperance
Republicans in the state, has been
nominated, on whose banner IS IN
scribed, "Ballot. and temperance re-
form" The platform for the ballot
aud practical temperance legislation,
"pledges determination to persevere
until adequate provisions of law on
these vital subjects are embodied in
the statutes of the state" The pro-
nounced resolutions of the New York
Republicans will have an influence
to reconcile dissatisfied men of the
party, who are inclined to go over to
a third party movement, to remain
and work for the ticket pledged to
reform.
