In the years gone by the republican
party has appealed for popular support
on the ground that Of all political organ
izations in history they alone repre-
sented the interests of morality and
good government. Immediately after
the civil war this appeal was made with
some show OF FEASIBILITY. Four years
afterward the party, in the greed for
spoils, was honeyco -bed with corrup-
ton. But the old cry of morality went
on from year to year until the people
refused to be longer deluded. When
Grover Cleveland was nominated the
best element of republicanism support
ed his candidacy. Many who could not
then zee the light have since changed
their views. DR.. Theodore L. Cuyler
m eminent clergyman and a staunch
eepublican, writes as follows to the
Evangelist:

THE GRAND JURY SYSTEM.

Canada is moving in the direction OF
the abolition of the grand jury system.
Sir John Thompson, minister Of justice,
intends to bring the matter of codifying
the criminal laws before parliament. He
has asked the attorney general OF each
province and the judges Of the dominion
for their views on the wisdom Of abolish.
ing the grand jury system. There is
said to be a growing feeling in Canada
that the grand jury is in many respects
mischievous in It's tendency and out OF
harmony with the genius and spirit OF
the system OF criminal jurisprudence;
that it lacks the best guarantee Of civil
liberty, the open administration OF JUS
tice. The publicity which is the very es-
sence of confidence in judicial proceed
ings, as we'll as the greatest security for
good conduct, is now strictly
guarded against, the proceedings being
secret, and tho members responsible to
no one but themselves. Instances are
not wanting where this very secresy has
caused grand jurors to allow themselves
to be converted into engines of political
or private malice, or into bodies organ
lied to acquit, instead Of being instru-
ments OF justice. This is not remark
able when we reflect that grand jurors
are human and subject to social and po-
litical influences. Take, for instance, a
grand jury Of any United States court.
The presumption is that in this country
just at present the membership would
he largely Of one political faith. After
an exciting and holly contested election,
in which many things may have been
done or said that in cooler moments
would not have been done or said,
there is nothing to prevent
Il grand jury almost unanimous
in politics making things unpleasant
for some adversary. It is not always
necessary for them to have good
groundwork for their indictment. They
hear but one side and that is the side
of the prosecution. Not only is this an
injustice to the either, but it opens an
avenue for INSCRIPTIONS persons to
make money out of the government by

marshal receives but five dollars for his
days work at the polls on election day.
The day following he hands the grand
jury a list of names of persons whom he
says he saw do sundry and divers things
at or around the polls. He is summoned
as a Witness and gets so much per day
while the grand jury is finding out that
there is nothing in any of the cases on
which to base presentment A fair
and open trial is the best guarantee of
justice. The accused can be present in
person and Ivy counsel and hear the
charges against himself and refute them
il possible. When man is compelled
to go into open court and swear to the
charges he makes against another he is
more apt to feel sure first that he has a
good case, than he would be if he only
made his complaint behind closed doors,
to men sworn to secresy, and protected
by this very secreey from any prosecu-
tion that may follow q malicious or
wrongful accusation.

The Salt Lake Tribune. staid and
conservative republican newspaper, drops
slightly into sensationalism when it
suggests that Senator Leland Stanford
may be the presidential candidate Of the
Farmers alliance. Stanford is amb-
tious and has barrel but it is hardly
probable he will hoodwink the alliance
into the belief that he is farmer Re-
cent events have demonstrated that the
Farmers have no use for corporation
kings, tariff barons or republican cam
paisl boodlers.

Both Sides Won aud Lost.

A decision was rendered in civil suit
before Justice Fleischer, in which both
sides got part of what they wanted and
each lost something fought for. A lady
operator, who was discharged by the Hell
ena District Telegraph company, asked for
$50, full months wages, on the ground
that she had been engaged by the month.
The company claimed that she was hired
at the rate OF so much month and ten
desed her 1878, which they said was all
she was entitled to up to the time of her
discharge. The tender, however, was not
made until after the suit was begun. JUS
tice Fleischer found that the lady was en-
gagged by tho month. and was only entitled
to tho 1878. But as the tender had not
been made until after the suit was begun,
he assessed the costs, $25.15, to the COM

As popular discussion on the force
bill continues it becomes emphatically
evident that the country wants no fed
eral interference at state elections. The
recent movement of the Farmers ALI
ance is OF unusual significance. At the
convention now in progress in Ocala,
Florida, Mr. McAllister introduced the
following resolution after stirring pre-
amh,e:
Resolved. by the National Farmers ALI
ance and Industrial union of America. in
national council assembled, thss we do most
solemlv protest against the passage of said
bill and most earnestly petition our sena-
tors to employ all final and legal means to
defeat this unpatriotic measure, which can
result in nothing bus evil to our common
and beloved country.
After brief discussion the resolution
was carried with enthusiastic unanimi-
ty. The National Farmers alliance is
not divided by geographical lines and in
the convention were delegates from east,
west, north and south. The endorse
ment OF the resolution carries special
weight because the Farmers alliance is
attached to neither Of the two great pc
hticai parties. 1t is an independent body
designed to further the interests of 9
great clas2 of laborers. Their expires
sion on the policy of the force bill mus,
therefore, be taken as an index Of thu
pon4lar sentiment. 1t was given with
out partisan bias or political considera
ton. The activity of President Harri
son and the republican managers il
forcing the force bill is in utter defianc,
OF the peoples will as expressed Nov.
The passage OF the measure, If it shall
occur, means another nail in the alread,
well fastened republican coffin.
