THE SELECTION OF JURORS.

Everybody who knows anything about select jury which will answer the re- quirements of the law and of those who administer it. In an important case it is a slow and expensive matter. A Chicago judge, who is described as one of the most experienced occupants of the bench in that section, makes @ rather notable ex- planation of the difficulty. He says the trouble is wholly with the newspapers, which persist in printing beforehand all the information they can gather about such cases, and so, says the judge, almost every body forms opinions of the guilt or inno- oence of the accused person from the newspaper reports and is disqualified for jury service. This is good, from the judges point of view, but there is another way to look at it. The Providence Jour nal we'll says: The two chief causes of these difficulties are the extreme unwill- ingness of most men to serve upon juries anyway and the nonsensical standard of qualification for jury service set up by our courts and lawyers. A good propor- tion of those summoned as talesmen all most always succeed in inventing excuses or proving themselves unfit for service. The greater cause of the diff fculty in getting juries, however, is the absurd rule so often insisted upon that only those men shall be accepted whose minds are perfect blanks on the case in hand. It neces- sarily takes 8 long time to find twelve men who have no ideas at all about 8 case that has excited national interest, and when they are found they are not usu- ally very intelligent or judioiuus body of jurors. There is no reason why @ man of ordinary mental power and moral re- sponsibility should not be able to weigh the evidence presented at the trial re- gardless of any opinions he might pre-
 viously have formed from newspaper re-
 ports

COMMUN UNHCA EIONS.


 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The above should be the war cry and rule of action of those who are called upon to decide tue matter of the increase of off : cial salaries in the several departments of our town and city government. There is not at the present time any good reason why any salary should be increased, for that is not the general tendency in busi- ness circles. So far as the present salary of the keeper of the almshouse is con cerned, if Mir. Sanford does not feel that it is adequate to his wants we think that the sign the position, so that some ether per son can be favored by jumping into his shoes and running the machinery of that necessary institution. We venture to say that there are at least one thousand good men in this town to day who would esteem it pretty ''soft snap" to occupy MT. Sanford's official position, even on present allowances, provided that gentleman should "step down and out" We would be htartless indeed if we advo- cated any compulsory measures in the way of keeping Mir. Sanford in public posi- IiOn "ueES lS was dCtudllf HUH an absence of the common comforts of life. The precedent established by raising the pay of any particular public servant is a bad one, inasmuch as we know not, though we may conjecture, what calamities it will bring to us as a natural heritage In other words, speaking more pointedly, the question will be, where will it end! Very likely the young man who runs Mayor Ssrgent's elevator in the city hall will next be clamoring for more pay to meet his various needs. And so, through out the brown stone pile that graces Church street there will be a general uproar-a regular Oliver Twistic howl for more, MORE, MORE compensation. But how about the taxpayer? Perhaps he would like little more of some things, and great deal less of some other things more of the "wherewith" to purchase the comforts of life, and less of the legal ized robbery that takes his substance away from him, and thus gives to favored few all the meat, while he must content himself with the bare bone which has been so kindly spared him.

RLACKMAILING.

"A V hA r1 A H<AlN"s
 Blackmailing is crime which has not cropped out extensively in New Haven, although there is reason to believe that it prevails here to greater extent than is generally supposed. There is good deal of it in all cities. It is a crime which requires planning and boldness, and all though, as in the case which has just como to light, woman is often concerned in it, she is usually found acting under the direction of some man. The black mailer finds his profit in the cowardice of his victim. This cowardice may be the product of a guilty conscience, or it may be simply re- luctance to face 8 situation which is uncomfortable even if not wicked. A weak man is just as good or better, for the blackmailer's purpose, than wicked one The weak man may pay when the wicked one will have the boldness to re- fuse.
 Weak or wicked, there is but one proper course for anybody who is attacked by a blackmailer to take. That is to promptly refuse to become victim. It is better to be falsely "exposed" or even to be truly exposed before the public by blackmailer than to surrender to him, for surrender means continued e1tortion and continued trouble. There have been cases where weak men, after having been remorse- 1y plundered by blackmailers have killed themselves to escape further torture. The proper amount of good sense and grit at the beginning would have saved their money and their lives. And it is to be remembered that there are few blackmailers who carry out their threats if they do not find them effective. What they want is money, and if they don't get that most of them see no profit in revenge. But revenge or no revenge, there is but one way to treat blackmailer, and that is to utterly refuse to become his victim, let the circumstances be what they may.

 A queer submarine boat, for which the inventor claims some wonderful things, has been launched at the Detroit boat works. It is the invention of George c. Baker of Chicago. The propellers are re- versible and placed amidships. They are intended to regulate the immersion of the boat and propel it. The craft is 40 feet in length, g feet in width and IA feet in depth. It is elliptical in shape, and it draws 8 feet of water. A cover of pre- pared canvas is stretched over the oak frames, and that is covered with one-inch plank. The boat will withstand pres sure of S6 feet of water. Air is slowed at a pressure of 15 pounds, and sufficient can be stored to last three men for several hours while the boat is submerged. An observing tower two feet in height is on top of the boat.
 In case recently brought before Dr. Tristim, Q. O., chancellor of the diocese of London, on the question of whether part of the burial ground attached to St. Botolph's Church, Aldersgate, Lon don, should be taken for street widening purposes, the learned chancellor laid down the rule that ownership in burial lot in public cemetery is not like ownership in other classes of real estate-that is, the fee does not rest entirely with the possessor, and when, for any reason, the burial place ceases to be used, it becomes largely question of convenience, and more particularly a matter of public health, whether the pos sessor of these burial lots shall not be com pelled to reiin nquish them. In the case in point Dr. Tristim ruled that the conges- ton of travel in the street upon which St. Boto1ph's churchyard abutted fully war ranted the taking of sufficient land from the burial ground to make the needed widening, provided those interested in the lots and tombs were notified that the change was to take place, and that pro visions were made to transfer without ex- pense the bodies of those who were buried to some other appropriate place.
