The Nashville Banner is still in
sIsting on some variation and spicy
changes in the form of verdicts of
coroner's inquests. Brother Baskette
is to be commended for his energy in
pushing this reform, but the Banner
is by no means entitled to the honors
of being first in demanding the inno-
walton. It will be remembered that
I'm celebrated murder case in this
county more than 10 years ago, the
jury Of inquest made an innovation,
or change of form in its verdict,
which was agreed to by all except
one man and he insisted on the
regular stereotyped form, and con-
trary to the sense and wishes of the
other jurymen, took the report and
interlined that the corpse came to
his death by shot from gun or
pistol, "in the hands of an unknown
party" and in after years this in
terlineatiOn was used as testimony in
the trial and came very near break
ing his neck. He was tried and con-
victed, and sentenced to be hung,
but the supreme court reversed the
dicision ON some technicality and af-
ter long, hard fight he got clear.
This man might have been saved
much trouble and the State consid
cradle cost by the spice of change in
sisted upon by the other members of
the Jury.

"There is absolutely no protection Tor

the workingman has TO sell-his labor
our laws provide the most open Tree
trade market in the world.
And this proposition | illustrated by
the fact that in the labor markets OF
this country, the workingman, though
he be a native of the soil or citizen OF
the country, stands only upon an equal
itv and side by side with the emigrants
from all quarters of the globe, who have
come to these shores within a day or
week or month; and that the manuiact-
urer. in buying the labor he requires,
takes not the "home production, not
the american industry" but the cheap
est he can find in this free trade labor
market.
With this contrasted the condition
of the workingman when he is obi ged

the most restricted, highest-priced mar
ket in Gods universe.
