Ignorance in the Jury Box.
Houston Post.

The papers of the country are again
discussing the means of securing more in
telligeut and honest jurors. The Nc
Dow case has occasioned a revival of
lively interest in the matter. Men go
unwhipped Of justice daily in every state
of the Union, not only in Southern but
Northern states, when the law, the EVIL
dence and public opinion all demand
their conviction. The cause of this per-
version of justice in nine cases out of ten
is the Ignorance and dishonesty of the
jury. The law places premium upon
Ignorance in the jury box by disqualify-
ing men who have heard anything of the
facts at issue or framed an
opinion in the premises In this
day Of enlightenment and newspapers
this provision of the law practically
excludes all the best men in a community
and forces the state and defendant to go
before men who do not read or keep up
with the common events of the time and
who are often the worst specimens of
manhood in the county. 1t is not once
in an age that a regular panel tries
murderer. 1t is the ignorant, unknown
characters picked out of a special venre
of all shades and kinds of humanity. 1t
would be better, the majority of men
think who have studied this question,
only to disqualify jurors who have
a fixed opinion that evidence would not
remove, or that only the most direct evil
dence would shake. 1t does not follow
because an intelligent, honest man has
formed an opinion of a case from newspa-
per accounts that he is unable to enter
box and under oath do equal and exact
justice according to the law and the evil
denee. This old premium upon ignor-
anee certainly requires modification in
this day and time. Many Of the jury
laws could he adYantageously amended.
The public will not be properly served,
nor justice be properly administered, until
the laws are framed to secure, rather
than exclude the best and most intelli-

oUTco1lE OF THE FREIGHT CON
YENTTO7

| HENIION.
But passing by invidious schemes of
any sort, let US consider from broad business
view the logical significance of the contemplated
appeal to traffic managers as business men for a
| reduction of rates to just and reasonable figures
in their dealings with Texas business interests.
| This implies that the railroads represented by
those managers are not monsters of gratuitous
| malevolence, as they are so often described in
! political defamation. 1t implies that they are
not instinctively and suicidally bent on destroy
ing the business constituencies, local general,
on which they depend for subsistence. 1t i'm
plies that if the managing agents Of these proper
ties can be shown that their local traffic charges
are above the normal point, they will be ready to
reduce them, if possible, so to realize for the
interests which they represent the benefit of adj
herence to the normal point and to avoid
the disaster which must certainly be
inflicted upon those interests by
any wide and persistent departure
from that point. Nothing is more conclusively
established in the inductions of economic expe-
rience than that in railroad or any other bust
ness of necessarily continuous character, ard
saddled with given measure of fixed charges,
there is point above which below which
charges cannot be carried without loss of profit
and risk of bankruptcy. Normal rates are essen
tial to the development of profitable business.
Abnormal rates, either upward or downward,
are destructive of such business. With the
truth of these observations for guide it ought
not to be difficult for business men representing
commercial and manufacturing interests to con-
fer and arrange with business men representing
railroad and other carrying interests in mutual
spirit of forbearance, concession and just allow
ance for the pressure of uncomfortable circum-
stances.--LDallas News.
Now, that is a very elaborate and nice
sort of way to put it; but plain every
day, outspoken people will construe the
outcome of the freight convention to be
a courteous but very firmly put notice to
the railroads shat if freight charges are
not reduced by the roads themselves the
people viii reduce them by law. And If
the charges are reduced by the roads
in response to the demand, these same
plain sort Of people win ask them
selves why ''the managing agents of
these railroad properties could not per-
ceive they had gone beyond adherence
to the normal point, - and threatened
disaster to Texas commercial aud manu-
featuring interests by adherence to the
abnormal point, so TO speak, until the
people with club in their hands pointed
out the fact. If the railroads eoncede
the demand of the convention, it will be
the best argument IN favor of a commits
sion yet made

A COMMITTEE OF DEMAND

Pending the discussion of the railroad
question in the legislature THE GAZETTE
ventured to suggest the appointment of
committee by the general assembly,
the duty of which committee it should
be to investigate the question from every
standpoint and report to the next legis-
lature for suitable action. The sugges-
ton was based upon the fact that rail-
roads and people have a common inter
est, whether disputed by demagogues on
the one hand or by autocrats on the
other. The suggestion met with
no favor with the blind advo-
Gates of restrictive legislation and
none with the arbitrary OPP
ponents of all legislation, although such
plan would have insured dispassionate
investigation of the question and con-
tributed largely to action just and fair to
both people and roads.
The convention at Dallas has fashioned
its action somewhat after the suggestion
made to the legislature, but the Dallas
committee is restricted to demand upon
the roads; and in case the demand Is re-
fused the committee is empowered to
provide for petitions to the governor to
call an extra session of the legislature
for the purpose of enactIng ''remedial
legislation To this complexion hath
it come at last, and for this result the
railroads are responsible.
Between the demagogue who sought
place by damning corporations and
the railroad autocrat who damned the
people stood a conservative force that
recognized the identity of interests be-
tween people and roads and labored to
bring them into harmonious relations.
The demagogue cursed the conservative
as a tool Of power and the autocrat
treated him with contempt in years that
were not political. The railroad man.
agement Of Texas is responsible for the
present agitation, and it is high time that
owners of Texas railroads were giving
some personal supervision to their prop
