that noise of shooting in the jury room2
Sherif-Bil swipes's cousin who sneaked
onto the jury, was opposed to hanging Bill for
gittin away with Langan's horses, aud tried to
break the quorum by jumpin' out the window /;

Judge-Ah, quite right. Order the Coroner
to return verdict of Death from Contempt of

The man who tries to break the quorum in
this court does so at his own peril.

That ia, nearly two-thirds of the entire

Next, II is not even approximately true
that S150,0O0,000 q year-a figure, by the
way, which is merely estimate, as no man
can tell with any certainty what the Dis
ability bill will cost" is more than all the
pension-lists of all the other countries COM
bined." Great Britain alone-who has not
done so much hard, bloody fighting in this
century az the Army of the Potomac did in
a single campaign, and in the last half CEN
tury has not lost 20 many men as the Army
Of the Tennessee did in capturing Vicks-
buTg-has pensiOn-list Of about $25 900, 900
year, besides the allowances she makes in
the way Of civil positions under the Govern
ment to disabled soldiers. The pensions of
other Nations do not tell the whole story of
their benefits to those who have served them
in the field. For example, France has a
monopoly Of tobacco, spirits and some other
articles. Privileges ofretailing these are used
in the way Of pensions to discharged soldiers
and the widows of soldiers.
And even were it true that our pension
list is bigger than that of all the other
countries combined, this should be coupled
with another fact Of still more Importance,
TO wit, that the men who are receiving these
pensions did more fighting than all the pen
sioners in Europe combined. They did more
fighting and greater number were killed
on the field of battle than England or
Germany have done and lost since they have
