Judge Furst On Coroner's Inquest.
In refusing to approve niue of thesinquisi-
tons held by the coroner aud justices of the
peace of Centre county. Judge Farst con-
cludes his reasons therefor in the 1lsowing
words
When q coroner. or justice in his sb-
sence, is called upon to view u dead body,
he should make some reasonable inquiry
into the circumstances of the death before
proceeding to summon jury and hold the
inquest. This preliminary inquiry would
have in ali these cases developed the fact
that there were either witnesses present or
that death was produced by natural cansts.
When the surrounding facts do not show
violence, aud there is no reason for sup
posing felonious destruction Of The person,
there is no necessity for an inquest But
where the contrary appears, or the death is
enveloped in mystery. it is proper case
for an inquest. Death by suicide may or
may not be good ground for az inquisition.
Violence Is present in such cases. If how
ever, the facts are known which clearly
show the case TO be suicide. it is improper
to summon an inquest. The inquest would
simply declare what was previously known,
If an employer desires an inquest, in
order TO establish the fact that he was not
responsible therefore, such inquest is held
in his interest, and not for the public
good; he should be willing TO pay the ,ex-
penses incident to the same 1t is very
clear that il should not be held at the ex-
pehse of the county.
We have thus stated the principles which
should govern the holding Of an inquest, for
The benefit of all persons who may be inter-
ested therein, and if the officers of the county
observe the same in the performance Of their
respective duties. fewer inquesis viii be held,
and when so held, the presumption viii
arise that the officer holding the same had
reasonable cause for so doing

THE Albany Journal declares, with en-
phasis, that ballot reform is the one and over
shadowing issue in the Empire State, and
will continue to be until something is ac-
complished in the way of putting an end to
infamous practices that prostitute the bal
lot to the basest Of uses, and that defeat the
expressed will Of the people at the polling
booth. The same may be said of the whole
United States-ballot reform and Jury
correction are two subjects to which the
thought of the people is now directed and
it means that something will be accom-
plished. 1t must be, unless the scheme of
the Republic is to fail. The iury-briber
and the bribed, the vote buyer and seller,
and the manipulation Of the ballot-box, are
to go, and to remain away. The senti-
ment that has been so inert upon these
subjects is to be vitalized, and refined, and
quickened into purifying activity. The
end of free institutions is no to be de-
termined and the date fixed by the spirit of
venality. If we believed that there was to
be no remedy for submission to these in
~iuences, we could predict the downfall of
self-government within a half a decade of
the hour Of its dissolution.
