Let the Test be Made.

St. Louis Republic: It is to be hoped that the Farmers Alliance oi Kansas will carry out Its announced intentions of putting ths Subtreas- ury plan to practical test, by es. tablishing banks, with warehouses attached, in which grain and other agricultural products can be stored, and on which money will be loaned at fixed ratio of value. If the scheme is workable, the result ought to prove it. If it is visionary and fantastic, that will be demonstrated in the hard field of ofexperience, which is the only one which people with a fad can learn in. Alter years ex- istence, if any of them maintain ex istence for so long a period, the stockholders of these banks would be the best possible missionaries to send out among such farmers as might still cherish the de.nsion that perishable products stored in ware house, and subject to fiuctuating prices in the market, are a satisfac- tory basis for the money of the peo pie.

The New Jury Law.

Several important changes were
 made by the late legislature in the laws regulating the jury system.
 The object of the changes is to se- cure more competent men for jurors, and to reduce the number of those
 heretofore exempt from service. Under the law the standing jur. or" who seeks the position and l is always ready and willing to serve, 1 is practically abolished. When the
 regulars are selected, the court may require the jury commissioners to provide list Of twenty five alter hates, and whenever the regular pan ell shall be exhausted and other fur.
 ors are needed, a sufficient number of the alternates bs summoned by
 the sheriff. The system of picking up bystanders is abolished, and the
 services of the men who stand around the court house, and put 1 themselves in the sherifI's way, are effectually dispensed with. No man
 can be compelled to serve as juror
 more than four weeks at any one term of court; and after having serv.
 cd four weeks, he iss disqualified as
 Q juror for one year.
 Either party to suit may per emptorialy challenge any juror who is county officer, postmaster or justice ot the peace, and they can
 sit on jury only by consent of the
 parties. Physicians, lawyers, preach
 CTS, ferry keepers and officers of
 courts cannot be compelled to serve
 on juries, but may waive their ex. emption.
 All other persons over twenty
 one years old are liable to jury duty. Road overseers, constables, school
 directors, and persons over sixty years of age arc no longer exempt, but the court is vested with power to excuse them. This IS wise pro
 vision and removes serious obJec.
 tion to the law heretofore enforced.
 It is estimated that in thls country
 more than six hundred of the most efficient and intelligent citizens have
 been excused from service on juries by reason of being overseers of roads and school directors. This is wrong. The selection of the very best men of the country to serve on the petit juries will inspire faith and confidence in the courts, and will as certainly reduce the costs and expenses.
