From the New York Slsi

Boston, July 16.-Prof Tom Drohan, who
was one OF the Sullivan party at the big fig t
last week, reached Boston to-day. and tonight
he IS SO hoarse he cannot speak above whis-
per. Everybody wants to know about the
fight. and he has talked until he is tired He
presented the Parnell Club flag to Sullivan and
had a hand in buying Off the sheriff. He said it
took ten $40 bills to ease the sheriff conscience
He related one little incident that has not had
much publicity.
Sullivan said he, lis very religious fell

ParnelPs Withdrawal.

Public sentiment everywhere will uphold
Mr.. PGrnell aud his associate defendants in
withdrawing from further partlci patton in
the proceedings before the Parnell commits
sion. The ruling of the commission was 50
unfair to the defendants that it was useless
for them to continue to defend themselves.
AS matter of fact, however, in the estima-
tIon of well-informed a ID unpreiudiced
people everywhere they had no occasion
to mako any further defense. When
Pigott admitted that he was a forger,
and that the alleged Parnell letters, upon
which the London Times had based most
of its charges, were forgeries, Mr.. Paruell
and his associates were vindicated The in
quiry ought to have stopped there, d it
would have stopped had the commission
been organized to discover the truth and do
justice to all parties.
The immediate cause of the withdrawal
of Mr. Parnell and his associates was the
refusal of the commission to permit an in
spectlon of the books of the Irish Patriot
Union" The injustice of this refusal is un-
derstood when it is known that this union
Is an organization of Irish landlords. and
that the commission readily granted an
order for the production of the books of
the Land League and all private papers
which the prosecution called for. The de-
PENDANTS expected to show by the books of
the union that the union originated the
charges against them and that the charges
were the result OF a conspiracy
Evidently the books of the union con-
tanned matters which the prosecution was
afraid TO have made public. Pigott fur
nished the union with the spurious Parnell
letters, and it was upon these letters that
the Times based most of its artic .es entitled
'Parnellism and Crime" Tie commission
continues is investigation, but it has lost
the confidence of those whose respect and
confidence are most to be desired.

Shennon's Jury Bill.

A bill that will attract considerable at
tention when it is introduced into the legis-
lature is that which Senator Shannon, Of
Twiggs county, is now preparing. The pur-
pose of it is TO abolish exemptions from
jury duty in cases of felony. A crying evil
IN this state is jury exemptions. 10 the
cities particularly nearly all Of the class Of
citizens best qualified for jury duty are ex-
| empted. The result is that it IL extremely
difficult TO get jury that is com petent to
render verdict in accordance with the law
! and the facts in either civil or criminal
cases.
The fact that man is rich or prominent,
or las import mt business affairs which de-
mand the greater part Of bis time, Is no
reason why he should be permitted to shirk
jury duty. 1t is all nonsense to say that
business men cannot act as jurymen with
out making great sacrifice of their business
interests. When they want to leave their
homes for week or month they find no
difficulty in arranging to do 50.
1t Is Just TO impose upon few citizens
the duty Of acting as Jurymen. These few
may also have business interests which suf-
y
direct them, but they are either too con-
scientious to iirk the duty which, as citi-
zens, they are required to perform, or they
are too poor to comply with the financial
conditions upon which exemption can be
secured
Senator Shannon's bill does not go far
enough. 1t ought to include important
civil cases as well as the graver criminal
ones. In the courts in the cities cases re-
curing for their decision high order of
Intelligence and good judgment are all the
time being tried. There are so many ex-
emptions that jurors having the right kind
Of qualifications are difficult to get
Cases, therefore, are not unfrequently de-
termined by those who are governed by
prejudice, or who lack ability to reach the
truth from the facts and the law.
Senator Sh nnon's bill is only step in
the right direction. There is certainly
great need for reform in the jury system
as 1t exists in many of the counties of this
state

The Olive Bill Unpopular.


It seems useless fer the legislature to
waste any more time on the Olive bill
Sentiment throughout the state appears to
be strongly against it. The support it had
when it was first introduced iAto the legls-
lature was based almost wholly upon
scare caused by great railroad combina-
ton that was made about that time. II Is
understood now that the scare was causeless.
The railroad combination has not injured
the state, and has not oppressed the people.
1t is not likely to do so. In fact, it Is now
quite apparent that it has no power to do
50. The railroad commission is fully able
to protect the people from the greed of rail-
road corporations, however many of them
may enter into combination for the pur-
pose of securing harmonious action.
The idea runs through the Olive bill that
the constitution of the state forbids combi-
nations of railroads. a careful reading of
that instrument shows this idea TO be erro-
neous. What the constitution does is this:
1t prohibits the general assembly from Civ
ing one corporation authority TO buy shares
IN another, or to make any agreement with
another the effect of which will be to lessen
competition. The legislature has not given
any corporation authority Of this sort, and
has not been asked to do So The constitu-
ton, therefore, has not been violated, and
the necessity for legislation like that pro-
posed in the Olive bill does not exist.
The tendency among railroads is to COM
bine The reason is that one great COM
bnation can be operated at much less ex-
peEse, and to much greater advantage than
number Of comparatively small corpora
tons. OF course the great combiu alton has
great power, and would probably make dis
examinations that would be injurious to the
people If it were permitted to do so. The
railroad commission, however, which has
become an institution in nearly all the
states, is well able to take care of the
peoples interests. The chairman Of the
commission in this state expresses his entire
confidence in its ability to protect the
people Of Georgia against any railroad
combination that may be formed
Something, of course, can be said in ia
vor Of the Olive bill, but it is worthy of
notice that what has been said in favor of
it appeals to passion and prejudice rather
than to reason. 1t is a bill that is apt to
capture the unthinking, but not one who is
careful observer and thinA err 1t certainly
ought not to command the support of any
Que who is anxious for the development of
the states resources, because it is calculated
to keep capitalists from investing in rail
road enterprises III the state. 1t will be
time enough to favor such bills as the Olive
bill when it becomes apparent that the in
terests of the people demand them.

conductor, who vas in a conversational mood,
turned to gentleman who stood upon the
platform and said:
'Yon saw that man who just got oa?''

Mistook the Reading G.
From Texas Siftings.

Gilli1ower isn't much of a scholar, and the
other night when he was reading to his old
fashioned wife out of a newspaper, he came
across an item about some woman having
charge of twenty-t five kindergartens. The last
being little blurred he read it, twenty five
kind er garters."
''Law-sakes" exclaimed the old lady. as she
snatched off her spectacles in establishment,
twenty-five kind er garters! No wonder there's
so many busted people and repytashens nova
days. Why, when was gal we used to knit

Gov. Beaver of Pennsylvania is being
quite generally criticised by the press of
that state for his failure to give the names
of the banks from which he is obtaining
the 100000. which he is expeudi o
behalf Of the state in repairing the damage
done by the food in Conemaugh, Juniata
and Susquehanna valleys, and for his fail
ure to state the objects to which he is ap-
plying the money. The legislature is ex-
peoted, of course, to repay this money to
the banks that are furnishing it, and, as it
will come out of the pockets Of the taxpav-
ers, they very naturally want to know
somethi about the manner in which it is
being distributed.
The governor may be doing what is right.
In fact, it is not charged that there is any
thing that justifies a suspicion that the
money is not being honestly expended His
refusal to name the banks that are furnish
ing the money and to state the objects to
which it is applied may breed suspicion
that there is crooked work of some kin
going on. These suspicious may become so
strong that .fficulty may be experienced in
getting the legislature to repay the loan.
The wiser course for the governor to pursue
would be to keep the public informed re-
specting the distribution of the loan. 1t is
the peoples money that is being spent and
they have right to know all the facts CON
nected with it.
The governor has made semi-official
statement about the disbursement of the
charity fund.- which, by the way, amounts
thus far to about $2,0OO,OO0 Those who
contributed this fund appear to be satisfied
with the way in which it is being dis
tributed. Some of the Johnstown people.
however, are not. hey want the money
placed in the hands of their local commit
tee for distribution. The governor can't
satisfy everybody. The chances are, how
ever, that as near as he knows how he will
do what is right
