The Ruralist thinks it has struck
it rich: some one has found in the
archives Of the legislative records
that Col. Jolley has at some time
voted for making the interest on un-
redeemed tax sales 20 per cent.
That sheet gets SC jubilant over the
find that three or four editorials
referring thereto r crowded into a
single page. Now suppose he did,
what Of it? Whether taxes are high
or low, just or unjust, If they must
be paid, it is best for all concerned
that they are paid when due. Tax
sales are to compel the payment OF
taxes and interest on such sales is
to make it more profitable to
borrow money even at current rates
to pay taxes than let them run, and
thus make out ofthe public treasury
a loaning institution. We have
heard Of sub-treasuries but did not
knowthat the county treasury should
oe converted into one. Now suppose
some one should vote to raise the
fine for some other omission, say 70,
not paying a liquor license, we pre-
sun,ethat would wholly ALLEVIATE him,
besides disqualifying him for a rep.

Did you vote the independent
ticket last fall? If 60, did you
do SO from pure faith in their doc
trines2 because you believed the
enormous lies that were circulated,
ar you have more recently found
them,ifyou have made invistigation2
or because you wanted a"change'?-
From whatever motive you voted
their ticket, have you gained any
thing by doing so or are you likely
hereafter to do 90? You are GER
tainly not ashamed now to come back
and vote, as you doubtless would
like to vote, the republican ticket?
Are the independent officers reduc-
ing expenses over which they have
control any farther than republican
economical laws compel them to do?
Are they paying running expences
with "enormons"taxes levied by the
republican administration of last
year,of which they had the disposal?
Will taxes be lower this year and
will expenses be higher?-these are
impertinent questions at this time.

THE new dodge of the Chinese who
sneak into the United States from Canada,
in violation of the Exclusion Act, is to
claim that they are subjects of the Do
minion in a sense, since they have gained
domicile there, and therefore must be re-
turned to Canada, and not sent back to
China. The Dominion authorities mani
fest some disposition to favor this claim,
but upon what law it is based neither the
Chinese nor the Canadian Secretaries
have stated. Attorney General Miller
has held, and adheres to the ruling, that
Chinese illegally entering the country
must be deported to China, no matter if
they last came from Mexico, Cuba, Cam
ada or any other point. Certainly this
ruling is in !ine with the intention of
Congress as expressed in the Act, which
is not ambiguous or in any way in
volved. We cannot believe that the Do
minion or the home Government will, on
second thought, deliberately take sides
with the Chinese and encourage their IL

CARROLL D. WRIGHT, himself an ac-
complished statistician, in the Popular
Science Monthly exclaims against the
danger of the use of statistics without
analysis. He declares what we have often
felt to be true, that perfectly honest and
truthful statistical tables may not only be
vicious in themselves, but may also lead
to the most worthless conclusions. the ta-
bles themselves not indicating, and it not
being possible to fully indicate by them,
the exact truth they contain. 1t should
be added that statistics may by arbitrary
use be made to state with apparent truth
fulness absolute untruth. The value, says
Mr.. Wright, of any statistical presenta-
ton must depend upon the basis upon
which it is made, the integrity of the col
lection of the various elements of it, and
the analysis which accompanies it. No
one has any right to quote statistical ta-
bles without using and understanding
the analysis of them. 1t is because of the
flippant and careless use Of statistics by
writers and speakers that it receives their
condemnation. Yet, it is probably true
that no form of argument is so much used
in Government debates, political and So
cialogical contention as that involving
what are assumed to be statistical proof
and which, in the majority Of cases, will
not bear analysis and proceeds from false
premises.

THE gathering of the blood-hungry
mob in Paris on Thursday, in anticipa-
ton Of guillotine executions, proves how
utterly opposed to civilizing ideas and, to
the true purpose of the law, are public
executions. The horrible scenes in Paris
about the scaffold while waiting for the
victims of the knife sufficiently establish
the fact that the more public the execu-
ton of the condemned the less the pur-
pose Of the law is accomplished, and that
privacy of execution adds to its terrors,
and therefore augments its deterrent in
fluence. It was for the reason that the
public execution, and the sensational re-
port Of it are demoralizlng and tend TO
defeat the intention of the law, that New
York and California decreed that all ex-
ecutions of criminals shall take place
within the walls of the State Prison and
be practically private.

GOVERNOR BUCHANAN of Tennessee
has backbone. He has acted wisely in
calling the Legislature together to con-
slider the question of the repeal of the
convict rental system. In the meantime
he says the evicted convicts will be re-
turned to the mines. even if he has to ask
the President for Federal troops to up
hold the law. He asks the miners to sub
nit and await the action of the Legis-
lature, and the wires bring the story that
the rioters are disposed to do so. 1t will
certainly be wisdom on their part. A
Governor determined to enforce the law
has all the power at his command Of a
nation of sixty-three millions Of people.
Governor Buchanan and Governor Mer-
riam, the one in Tennessee and the other
in Minnesota, have demonstrated to the
world, first, that our laws are equal to
most emergencies; second, that executive
authority resolved upon it can enforce
them; third, that the people Of the nation
will hold up the hands of courageous,
oath respecting officials resolved upon
duty doing.

been, by inspections OF tie ballots before
the drawing.
Whether the Judges have not the cour-
age to do it, whether it is mere careless
ness, or whether it is conniyance, true it
is that ballots are drawn that by the
touch can be distinguished and
picked out from among other ballots in
the jury drawing box. We are aware
that there are some courts that are uni
formly careful to examine the ballots,
but in the majority of cases it is not done,
or, if done, the duty is discharged in a
perfunctory sort of manner, and with
out the careful examination that is neces-
sary to detect trickery. Not so very long
ago it was explained by an adept how the
manipulation curled the corners Of certain
ballots so that they would stand out from
the others; still others he gave serreated
edges at one end, very slight, but enough;
still others were marked by slightly
turning down on one edge.
There is always in every considerable
community some one interested in mold
ing the Grand Jury to his ends, and as a
rule he is willing to pay the price of cor
ruption to accomplish his purpose.
Against the wiles Of these men the courts
must be constantly alert. The devil
never sleeps, he misses no opportunities,
and never fails to find an agent to serve
him; whether it is in the formation of a
Grand Jury or the packing of petit
panel he has little difficulty in circum-
venting the law when its judicial officers
slumber

THE SILVER QUESTION.

The free coinage men are organizing
more solidly for a campaign in Congress
in December. True wisdom dictates the
policy of meeting these advocates Of a
mistaken policy squarely and boldly.
All attempts to conciliate, compromise
and effect middle ground settlement
will be waste labor. It is to be free and
unlimited coinage of silver or not. Any
thing short of it cuts no true figure in
the case, because the free coinage men
do not recognize any other issue than
that they make.
The hope of the silver men is that the
Democracy will commit itself to their
views, though we confess inability to dis
cover as yet upon what they base this
grounds, the Republicans ought to i'm
prove the opportunity and stand for good
money and against dollar worth but
eighty-five cents. If the President, as
head of his party, plants himself upon
that ground, we believe his party will
draw to itself new strength in support of
the enforcement of policy that calls for
the discharge of legal obligations in the
money accepted as of the first value by
the commercial peoples of the world.
John Sherman put the question into a
nutshell when he recently said:
can appreciate the earnest demand of the
producers of silver bullion that the United
States should pay 81 20 an ounce for silver
bullion. which IN the markets Of the world
has been for q series OF years worth only about
81 an ounce-sometimes a little more, some
times a little leSs-but / cannot appreciate
why any farmer or other producer should de-
| sire that the Government should pay for any
article more than its market value.
Unless the silver men can establish by
incontrovertible proofs that their product
protection and fostering care, it cannot
be accepted as wise national policy that
they shall be Disseminated for by pur-
chases of silver at higher price than it
commands in the worlds markets. Be-
cause the metal is used for coming me-
dium of exchange, does not invest it with
value in excess of its market worth.
There must of course be money in
plenty for the transaction of the business
exchanges of the country, but it is not
essential to It's production that the Gov
ernment should buy the metal of which
to coin it at a greater price than the COM
modify commands in the market. In
/ IL i Z
does not of necessity involve free coinage
and bullion purchase at an exorbitant
price.

MANIPULATING JURY LISTS.

The Superior Court in San francisco
that refused to permit ballots for the

that blind man could distinguish them,

say commended, because it is notorious
