ABOLISH JURY EXEMPTIONS.

The Columbus Enquirer Sun is of
the opinion that the summer session
of the Geor ia legislature will pres
sent fine opportunity for some mem,
Der to do a great public service by do
ing aawy with Il crying evil il the
laws relating to the administration OF
justice in this State. Let him intro-
ance bill repeating and aboiishirg
all jurJ exemptions. The law is
such now that in every community
many OF the most intelligent, upright
and successful citizens are relieved
,, from jury service the time has come
in Georgia, as it has in other Sta ties,
when the services of this class Of citi,
zens are iuperatively needed in the
jury box In every county in Geor-
gia jury exemptions have grown to
he a great evil, and the demand is
increasing, from the bench and from
| the people. FOR relief. To further
such movement we would not APP
peal to any class prejudice, but it is
tair and proper to call attention to
the fact that these exemptions operate
mainly in favor of leading citizens OF
Gowns and cities. Our farmer friends
ale not favored to any great extent
in these special privileges. They are
called from their fam work to 90 to
town and do the public service from
which so many city men are excused.
This is not right, and it is certainly
not in the interest of public justice.
A law should be passed abolishing
all jury exemptions, and vesting in
the discrimination Of the judges in
each case the excusing of jurors, Oh
the ground of age, illness. peculiar
occupation, urgent business or other
conditions which might appeal to the
court.

AUSTRIA AND WEST VIRGINIA.

Advice from Vienna state that
notice has been given in the reichsrath
to the government of the alleged ills
treatment of svbiects OF Austria>Hun~
gary in West Virginia. 1t is claimed
that these subjects are treated as
slaves, and the government will be
asked what measures it will take to
obtain redress.
The matter referred to is the case
of seventy five Bohemians who were
hired in New York to work on the
extension OF the Norfolk and Wes-
tern. 1t is said that these men igno'
rantly signed an ironclad contract,
and when they arrived at Pocahontas
they We're put under guard, and RIM
dow1 by blood hounds when they att
tempted to escape. The charge is all
so made that they were oven worked
and halt>starved.
1t is not a settled fact that these
foreigners are in the situation de-
scribed, but admitting the charges to
be true, what can Austria do about

THE IDEAL COMMUNITY.

A perfect town is that in which
you see the farmer patronzing the
home merchants, The laborers SPEND
ing the money they earn with their
own tradesmen, and all animated by
a spirit that will not purchase arti>
Giles abroad if they can be bought at
home. The spirit of reciprocity be-
tween man and the mechanic, trades
man and laborer, farmer and
manufacturer results every time in
making the town a perfect one to do
business in, Perfection should al
! ways be desired, even where attain
ment is barely possible, We presume,
but perfect town must be denoni-
mated a great rarity until We reach a

ENORMOUS TAX4U0E.

For the next two years our governy
ment will spend annually more thanl
$500, 100000.
To pay one years expenses of the
government it will take nearly the
combined wheat and oat crop.
Our annual output of gold, silver,
copper, iron, coal, petroleum and lead
will not foot our tax bill for twelve
months.
Nor can we do it with a years pro-
duct of Gotten, wool, rye, barley, wine
potatoes and tobacco.
The combined capitalization of
our nationa! banks is $500, 900, 900
One years taxes will nearly swallow
it up.
Now, all this is the federal tax,
We have also to pay city, county and
state taxes.
We pretend to be a nation of plain
people, with no aristOcracy, no prin'
ces, no standing army and no expen,
sive frills, and yet our taxes are more
enormous than those of Austria, Ger
{ many or Great Britain.
When we calmly consider these
facts and figures it must be admitted
that the outlook is not very encour-
aging. But such evils always lead
to reaction. The people will be
forced by stern necessity to demand
reform or revolution, and in a coup
try like ours such a state of public
sentiment is bound to crystalize into
reform.

supervision of roads 10 townships is trans
ferred from road supervisors to commit

often bad because Of the insufficient
amount Of money which was devoted TO
the purpose. The township committees
had no power to do anything except to
distribute the money appropriated forroad
purposes to the various road districts, the
total amount having been agreed upon at
the party primaries and was often grossly
inadequate. Tho new law does away with

The Huaterdon Democrat advocates
using the county's share of the ''Direct
Tax" repaid to New Jersey to build new
court house. The present county court
house is neither slightly structure nor
adapted to the purposes for which it is
used, but as to using the direct tax pro-
ceeds for this purpose-the same direc-
lions apply to it as to the cooking of fish :
sFirst, catch your fish, Hunterdon
county will first have to get its share of
the money, and that it is not likely to do.
The most likely purpose for which it will
be used is to pay off the State debt.

The new railroad to New Hope was
opened for travel last Sunday. The men
who manage it no doubt want to empha-
size the fact that it is Sunday railroad.
None the less, many who have no con-
scientious scruples against Sunday trains,
felt that 1t was exceedingly bad taste TO
open the road on that day. Even as a
matter of dollars and cents II might pay
the railroad company TO remember that
there are great many people yet left in
the world who think the ten command
ments are not obsolete.
