A Good sury Law.
[Las y-eras IN. MI ontic.l


 The two Dakofas made a new and sensible departure in their jury sys- tein. By the law of those States, where nine of the twelve iurorsin any case agree. their decision will be ac. eepted as q verdict. This will make it impossible for one man to annul the decision of eleven, which IS frequently done under the plan which prevails in other States. It Is to be presumed that the united judgment of nine ju- TOTS Is more accurate and reliable than that of three men, and the rule will hold generally good, providing, of course, that the minority does rot ab- sorb all of tue intelligence of the jury. By yestIng the balance ot power in a single individual il becomes practices ble for shrewd and designing attorneys to secure the admission 10 the jury box of at least one person who can be controlled or corrupted, and thus the ends of justice may be easily and cer- tainly defeated. The time, labor and expense involved in the preparation of important cases are frequently rem dered valueless by dlsagreements W hich ofteu hinge upon the view which one or two jurors may take of he law and the evidence, in opposition 10 the re- maining eleven or ten. The Dakota plan, to all intenis and purposes, pre- serves invlolate the right of the citi. zon ,o'a trial ny lis peers, by making verdict contingent upon the agree ment of three. .fourths of the jury, but it corrects the eyIls which interfere seriously wTth the administration of jnsilce, and with the prompt transac- ton of business m the courts. It Is an experiment which Is worthy of the progressive spirit of the great north- west. The system appears 10 be corr rect in principle, and il is believed that it wlll prove to be satisfactory in practice.

 An event which has been generally expected for some time past has taken place during the past week, namely
 at a meeting of the combined Lake companies held at Boston on October Slst, 1t was decided 10 advance the piice of Lake copper from He, per to llac. Any one who has carefully watched the tendency of values aud the natural causes affecting the same must have seen that with the primer pal Lake companies sold out up to the end oi November and some even up to ihe end of the year suGA action was inevitable, and It has only been a mat of surprise that such step was not taken much earlier, The fact is, tue consumption of copper just now all over the world IS gong oa at an un- precedented rate. and had it not been fer the uupolltic proceedings of the representatives of certain foreign bankers short time since in forcing sales, there was no reason whatever,n reducing the prices of Lake copper below 12c. Under ihe circumstances, the interested companies at their re- cent me-ting have adopted very con Servatiye policy Tn restoring only one half of tue decline brought about hy the proceedings referred to. enlng to the continued keen competition on the part of the producers, the prices of casting copper have not benefited to The same extent as the Lake sorts. but a distinctly frmer tendency Is also noticeable in those brands, and We have now 10 quote casting sorts l0I@ l0lc.; rolling sorts, 1040llc

A correspondent of the N. ' jour- nal of Commerce writes; ltnow looks as if silver bullion will gradually ap- precjaie in value, and before three months pass reach in this market. in sympathy with hiGher prices abroad, $l an ounce fine. This opinion k based first OF the rapidity with which Inc silver certificates in this country have gone into circulation; aiready over S2s0 000000 have been issued against tbe silver coin held by Traas- nry, Besides this, of the standard dol lars coined, the amount that is in gen eral circulation aggregate %5S. 0,3l7 on the 1!th day of October. Second. the output of silver hy the mines does not keep pace with the increasing de mand for ihe ballon for coming and manufacture. Third, tbe appreciation of the Russian roubles also has a de- eidediy favorable effect on silver. Fourth, with general revival in the various industries in England and other European nations, it is found that the circulating metallic currency IS not sufficient to meet trade require meuts, and therefore the more demand for small subsidiary silver com, or else small certificates issued against silver held by the national banks. Fifih, the Asiatic countries are heavy buyers, taking apparently more than they did at ttis time last year, and that taken hY them never returns again as disturbing factor in the markets of this country.

The sliyer ca,nagc eucsr.en.

There are three propositions now before the pubic in regard to silver, One is 10 let things remain as they are. A second is to com lie maximum amount the law allows & 100000 mGhth. A third IS 10 coin all that may be offered. 1ilere is no vital movement at present to discontinue entirely the coinage of silver dollars Ii is contended hy the advocates of free coinage that such Coinage will re store silver 10 its former value in re- lation to gold. Before this Is done, however, there will be a period of the single silver standard. The American Government will not try to keep its silver dollars up 10 the gold standard ii Il is required to coin all the silver that IS offered. To do 50 would give the owners of silver bullion twenty two cents or thcreabohis on the dollar more thaa ii is worth in the market. Our present volume of silver is nam iaiatd al its face value by placing a limit on the amount coined. The Governments promise 10 take it's own coinage of silver dollars at ita face value makes the silver dollar is good for commercial purposes as the gold. If the United States should coin. $4S,- 000,000 year of silver it would soon exhaust the surplus, and consequently cause the market price of silver 10 advance. In short time, 1t Is not unreasonable te suppose, that the old relation of the two metals would be restored The continued ,e5inage Of $2i, ,000.00o may produce the same re- suit in time, but the rise in silver would be slower.

This means over forty families coming

The Hall County Record has changed
hands and is now owned by Mr. J. c.
Holmes, late of Ration, N NJ. who has
arrived with his outfit and will print his
first paper this week. Salisbury is in
deed fortunate in securing with Mr..
Holmes a practical printer of long expe-
renee, and the most extensive outfit be-
tween Fort Worth and Trinidad.
The matter of organization is being al
lowed to remain quiet for the present.
Hall county does not propose to organize
until it has the fur number of voters re-
CURED by the statute, so that It's people
may have the distinction of being one of
the counties in the Panhandle to organize
legally. No 'razzooper' business al
lowed here.
