Our Jury System.

Chief Justice Ewing. of Kansas,
i'll an address before the bar asso-
ciation of that state at Topeka,
made strong argument against
the requirement of unanimous of
the judgement of iuries in civil
cases. Abolishing this requirement
would be n radical beginning in the
work of jury reform, in favor of
which there appears to be unanimous
sentiment.
Justice Ewing maintains that un-
animity of opinion in either small
or large body of men upon any ques-
tion presented, reinforced by the
best evidence that the methods of
the lawyer can cXtort, must per-
force be forced. A jury of twelve il
similarly situated. Twelve men
gathered promiscuously cannot, he
says, agree upon the simplest ques-
tion that may turn up. How can
they do better when confronted by
the great responsibility imposed by
the ma " Of the courts.
Judge Ew.Ag maintains that JUS
tice can only be done by system
that will allow n juror to Judge as an
individual He takes the evidence
of the several witnesses. He knows,
if he is a qualified Juror, as much of
the individual case as II lawyer in
his special plea can tell him, and to
hold n jury of qualified men until
they come each to the same opinion
is n barbarism. The finding is fore
ell, and the most persistent, stub
born, determined man is the jury,
and directs the findings of the body
Jurists everywhere wherever they
have expressed an opinion favor the
majority judgement of jury, upon
the ground that it is more likely to
be Just. This is reasonable view
The general purpose of man is to be
fair and Just Forced by the rules
of court to come to decision he is
as likely to go astray in his Judge
ment rs TO come to proper conclu-
sions, and under such conditions
the conscientious juror prefers to
disagree with his colleagues, and "a
failure of the purposes of exact JUS
tice is the consequence.
There is need of reform in our
jury system, and it seems to be in
the direction of n majority decision.

to overturn chair or make some
other noise to break the charm and
avert the threatened danger. The
howling of dog or the mewing of a
cat at night, when not answered by
the owl, is significant of i'll, but not
of serious fatality.
A large piece of flint kept in every
freplace'is supposed to secure poul-
try from depredations by foxes and
owls, and brood of chickens is
protected from hawks by holding a
sieve over it for few moments rs
soon as it leaves the nest. In case
this does not protect, the hen is pro-
nounced "unlucky' and is condemn
ed to the pot.
Never turn back without making
n cross mark on the ground with the
right heel, is an admonition they
never disregard. If arabbit crosses
their path when just starting on Il
journey, no matter where, it is mt
once abandoned, for to go on would
only be to neglect the warning of
death.
They implicitly believe in the
magic power of the left hind foot
of rabbit killed in graveyard,
and each clay-eatcr carries one sus-
pended around his neck under his
clothes, with rs much faith and
reyerance rs ever II rccluse chung to
the rosary and crucifix.
To kill or move IL cat is bad luck
and no one who disregards this Gus
tom will ever prosper.
If an axe or other edge tool, or
even II spade or shovel is carried in
to room it must be carried out of
the door through which it was
brought in, otherwise it will be the
cause of the death of some one of
the family. All dirt, or crumbs
from the table must be swept into
the fire and not out of doors, to
prevent luck from going out also.
The children are educated to be-
lieye in these signs and traditions,
and should stranger express Il
doubt, he will Mt once be overwhelm
ed with proof rs strong rs "holy
writ, for didn't gran-pa, gran'ma,
Uncle Nathaniel or Aunt Jernsha,
have warnin time an agin', an
didn't they tell we'uns themsep.'
These people do not number oyei
five or six hundred families, resid
ing i'll sections remote from the civ
ilizing influences of towns, churche,
and schools. With the tenacity oi
ignorance they cling to their super
stitious traditions, which will onl!
disappear before the onward marcl
of intelligence. S. A. L

Some North Dakota Crops.

WAHPEroN, N. D., August 5.-W. P.
Adams, who is now engaged in harvest
ing 5000 acres of wheat, was asked today
what his wheat would yield. SHOT more
than 10 bushels per acre." he said, "last
year had from 23 to 80 bushels to the
acre. Early in the season we had no
rain, SO the grain did not sprout and the
weeds got the start of it. Later hot
winds and lack of moisture blighted the
grain
Governor Miller of the Dwight farm
said that he did not expect more than
half crop. When asked from his OBJ
servations what the crops in Richland
county would do he said: IA deliberate
estimate is two. thirds of last years crop
the southern portion Of the county is not
above one-half. The entire crop of the
state is badly damaged by dry hot winds
I think the crop Of North Dakota is
generally over estimated by all published
reports"
A gentleman from Ransom county sa't
that the wheat there was seriously In
iured by hot winds last week. AT leas
one half the acreage in Sargent count.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, August 6.-The
Iowa democratic state convention as
sembled today. The temporary chair
man. E. b. McFall, in we'll delivered
address, alluded to Cleveland and Boise
as the IOWA presidential ticket for 1892.
Judge Phelps of Iowa, was chosen
permanent chairman. The platform was
unanimously adopted; approving the ad-
ministration Of Gov. Boise; denouncing
republican submission to Speaker Reed;
reattirming the democratic policy regard
ing liquor traffic; favoring the continu-
ance with changes of the railroad laws
of the state; endorsing liberal pensions
favoring tariff for revenue only; op-
posing the Mckinley bill; favoring re-
ciprocity wherever the nation may prof
thereby; demardin. the free coinage o.
silver, and protesting against the fedora
election bill.
The following state ticket was nominal
ed: For secretary of state, W. H Chsn
berlain, of Independence; II. J. White

More Water Needed.

CHICAGO, August g. The Farmers
Review tomorrow will say: Outside of
a few counties IN Michigan, Wisconsin
and Minnesota, where local rains have
been falling, drouth is universal in the
states covered by our report, namely
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Missouri, Kansas,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North
and South Dakota, Iowa and Nebraska.
As natural consequence the corn crop
is suffering. Unless rains come soon and
in abundant supply the crop will be a
comparative failure. Spring wheat, also
is experiencing the blighting effects of
drouth. The average condition OF that
crop at present in Iowa, Nebraska, Wis
consin, Minnesota and Dakota is about
25 per cent below the average. Oats are
yielding as we'll as could be expected.
The oat crop Is practically failure in
Kentucky, as also in many counties of
Illinois, Missouri and Indiana, where
the ravages of the grain plant louse were
most severe. Reports indicate that the
average condition is 30 per cent lower
than that of last year at harvesting time
and that the average yield is 20 per CEN
less than that of 1889. Minnesota ant
Dakota lead this year with oats, and are
harvesting good crops, both as regard.

Visited by q Cyclone.

MONTREAL, August Ga cyclone of
unparalleled violence in this locality
swept over the lake st. Louis and the st.
Lawrence in the vicinity of Montreal last
evening, doing great damage on land
and water. At the moment the Storm
burst, the principal event of the canoe
meeting at Isle Cadieux was being sailed.
Eight competing yachts were mile out
on the lake, when suddenly the sky
grew black and the wind swept down the
lake with terrific violence. Instantly
every yacht in the race was upset. 1t is
not known how many, if any, were
drowned. At Vallejo, Point Clair, STAINS
and Dorval great damage was done to
property. Houses were unroofed, barns
were struck by lightning, while many
buildings were swept completely away
At Lachine, the greatest damage was
done. There an immense building of the
Dominion Bridge company and an equal
| ly large structure Of the Canadian Screw
and Barbed Wire factory were unroofed
and left in ruins.
