ACCORDING TO RULE.

A contemporary urges the reelection of
Judge Wallace 10 the position of Presiding
Judge that he may impanel another Grand
Jury in accordance with the rules laid
down by the Supreme Court. The rules
laid down by The Supreme Court are that
the elisor method of selecting r Grand Jury
Is Illegal in the absence of evidence that
the Sheriff and Coroner are disqualified to
act as the chOoser of jury. In August
last Judge Wallace acted upon personal
knowledge of the fact that the offices of
Sheriff and Coroner would be Investigated
by the Grand Jury then about to be ap-
pointed and passed these two officials by
without legal showing that they were
disqualified. The question now comes up for
consideration If after making legal show
Ing of the disqualifcations of the Sheriff
and Coroner to act as chooSers
Of grand juries the eiisor method
would be held to be legal. Would not the
Supreme Court find some other technical
lily upon which to declare an obnoxious
Grand Jury Illegal. Under the ordinary
method the selection of Grand Jury TO
continue the work the present Grand Jury
has been compelled to lay down would be
impossible. Even If the drawing is fair it
would be an odd chance that would send ND
thirteen reliable men out of nineteen.
There is too much reason to believe that
mole than one-half of our Superior Judges
owe their elevation TO boss influence. They
were nominated and elected to stand be-
tween the bosses and the law. 1t is not
reasonable therefore 10 assume that these
men who owe their official existence to the
bosses should select names for the Grand
Jury box which would make war upon the
bosses. If five Judges should select sixty
unexceptonal names from which nineteen
grand jurors would be drawn, and if seven
Judges should select eghty-four in more or
less active sympathy with the boss element,
there would be small chance to get nine
teen good fearless jurors from the box
The decision OF the Supreme Court against
the Grand Jury is apparently fatal for the
punishment of boodlers in the usual man.

THE PROSPECT OF REFORM.

1t does not often happen that the people
OF California are as unanimous on public
question as they seem TO be on the subject
OF the recent judgment of the Supreme
Court With the exception of a few persons
VIGOROUSLY affiliated with the boodlers or
the Southern Pacific Railroad Company,
everybody appears to admit that that iudg-
ment was profound disbursement to
honest men and cause Of rejoicing among
knaves. But when all is said and done.
what Will be the outcome of the sentiment
which seems to have been rousedP What
practical results will flow from the public
Indignation at the aid and comfort which
the Supreme Court has given the boodlers /?
These are questions not easily answered.
According to the dispatches the President
is waiting for Senator Stanford's arrival in
Washington to fill the vacancies In the
United States judiciary in this State. In
other words, the man who has caused most
OF the trouble is to be allowed to name the
Judges Of the United States courts. What
VIII be the moral Of this? What can it be-
except general conviction that it paws bet-
ter to take service in the boodlers' camp
than to enlist in the cause of pure politics p

former, fat with the spois wrung not only
from applicants for franchises and legfsla-

municipal clerks of different degree, has
returned from exile, and is enjoying elegant
leisure IN the orange groves of Florida,
preparatory to his resumption of the COM
mand OF the Democratic party in this city /;
the latter Is exulting over his triumph over
the courts Of law, which has been scarcely
less brilliant than his last winters triumph

both cases Doodle has won and honesty has
gone to the wall. A young MIN seeking
guidance from observation Of current events
cannot but come to the conclusion that the
side of Doodle is the winning aide. and
that lie would be a fool to espouse any other.

MAKE A RECORD BY ALL MEANS

The communication which appears below
suggesting that the testimony which has
been collected by the Grand Jury which has
just been declared illegal by majority of the
justices OF the Supreme Court should be
placed in such condition as to make it &C
cesslble to the public is an excellent one.
1t may not lead to the punishment of the
persons concerned, but it will enable our
citizens, when necessary, to put an end to
their aspirations for responsible offices here
after. 1t would be well even to have the
testimony published in the newspapers, but
Should this not be thought best 1t could be
published In the form of pamphlet and
circulated in this way. There is no obliga-
ton upon the members of the body which
has been declared illegal to withhold this
testimony. The communication to which
reference is made reads as follows:

Natures NerVine.

Dandelion is the coming nervine for
women. More than one experienced
physician tells of it's use in cases OF
nervous depression and melancholy
almost suicidal. Hysteria with indi-
gestionis most successfully treated by
dandelion alone, using q strong de-
cotton of the roots. For school girls
growing green and black with over
study or bad circulation from any
cause, for excitable women and those
hvsteric subjects who make their
friends lives a burden if not their
own, the simplest remedy is a cup of
strong 6andelion coffee three times q
day. But it must be strong and
from the roots, fresh as possible, not
the dried stuff sold as dandelion,
which is half bread crumbs, and the
other half any age with the life roast
ed out. No oflicinal PREPARATION COM

The rest is soon told. I carried the
child home distance of five miles, for
she was to weak to walk. Some one

A Strange Custom.

According to a Yorkshire (England)
notion, q new born infant should al
ways be placed in the arms OF q
maiden before it is touched by any
one else; and in some instances it's
right hand is bound in a cloth during
the first day OF its existance in order
that it may gather riches when grown
to manhood Or womanhood estate
In many parts of the United States,
Germany, France and Holland, as
we'll as throughout the British Isles, it
is considered very important that an
infant should ego up before it goes
down in the world. Thus, if a child
is born in the lower story OF house,
it is instantly bundled up by one OF
the old women and carried upstairs;
if the event occurs in the upper story
the same old woman is expected to
take the child in her arms and clamb-
er upon the top of table, bureau, or
even a chair-anything to get the little
one up in the world.-St. Louis Re
Ouh)ic

Flourished 400 Years &c.

W. S. Caine is writing some interest
ing letters from India for the Pail
Mall Budget. In his last he thus
speaks of an ancient ruin. We are
now in the heart OF the ancient city of
Chaityagii, which fourished from 400
B. c. to 4OOA. D., greatest splendor
being reached under King Asoka,
about $50 B. G. Tradition says that
it covered an area of II miles by g.
on the tongue of land formed by the
junction OF the Betwa and Bes rivers
Scattered over this area there are
still left in more Or less preservation,
IS individual examples of the remark
able architecture ofthe great Buddhist
period of Indian history, of which the
great tope of Sanchi is the finest; it is
probably the work of Asoka, so far
as its best architectural features are
concerned. The tope itself is huge
dome Of brick, faced with stone, slight
ly elliptical JOG feet in diameter and
AZ feet high. This is placed on a cir
culaT platform, 12O feet in diameter
and IA feet high, which, surrounded
by a sculptured rail, made a walk for
worshipers all round the top. The
beautiful rail lies in fragments at the
base, and it is pity the Government
does not erect and restore it as far as
possible. The entire topeis surround
ed by another rail and four sculptured
gateways; it is superbly placed on the
leveled summit of beautiful hill
about 800 feet high. All round, on
the wide table on which the tope is
the center-piece, aremonasteries, gate
ways, statues, temples and groups OF
huge monolithic square columns.

lishman who evidently understood
one part of the subject-namely, that
the checks must not be lost.

"Hey?"

"Eh! Oh, your trunks. Front, find

They were not to be found, and
their owner decided to go to the sta.
ton for them himself.
"Have you ME bawxes here?" he
said to the agent.
