THE ELIsoR METHOD.

The appointment of an elsOr by Judge
Wallace TO select trial jurors is legitimate
outcome Of the appointment of an elisor to
select grand jurors. A good honest trial
Jury is necessary TO complete the work conf
meneed by an honest Grand Jury. Parties
who object to the appointment Of an elsor
to select a Grand Jury will object still more
strenuOusly to the appointment of an eliscr
to select trial juries. The latter appoint
ment in fact closes the door Of escape. 1t
assures the Grand jury that whomsoever
that body may indict will be tried as fairly
as he had been indicted. There has been a
hope that even if the Grand Jury should
present b1Odlers for tTlal their cases might
be assigned to a department of the Superior
Court not in sympathy with the antI-b0od-
lers' movement. This hope is now cut OFF
TIE cases win in all probability be assigned
by the presiding Superior Judge to himself
that is, to the department of the court
which appointed the eliSors THE CALL is
ready to admit that the appointment of an
eliSor to select jurors is an extraordinary eX-
ercise Of the power placed in the hands Of
the Superior Court. But extraordinary
conditions justify extraordinary methods.
There have been conditions in operation in
this city which warranted more eXtraoIdi-
nary measures than Judge Wallace has Ie-
serted to. An intmatiOn has been thrown
out that when a person ind cted by the
Grand Jury is placed on trial the question
of the legality of the elisor method Of ap-
pointing jury will be tested before the Su-
preme Court. While the decision of the
Supreme Court may not be predicted with
any degree Of certainty the argument is
made that that court will have nothing to do
with the wisdom or unwisdOm of the action
of Judge Wallace in appointing an elisor.
but with the law which gives him the right
of appointment. The court may entertain
a notion that it would have been wiser to Sc
lsct the Grand and trial juries in the old
way, but this action would not justify de-
cision declaring the jury so appointed lille
gal. 4 law which conflicts with the Consti-
tuition may be declared by a court void, but
a court would set dangerous precedent by
declaring law unconstitutional because in
the courts opinion it is unwiSe. Back of
the law is the Supreme Court, and back Of
the Supreme Court is the people. The Con-
stitutoE Of the State wisely provides for the
removal Of Judges who, in the opinion of
the people, stand in the way of the admin
istratiop Of justice.

AUTHOR AND CRITIC.

In the case under consideration Francis
Abbott Is the author and Josiah Royce the
critic. But as Mr.. Royce is Harvard pro-
feSsor Mr.. Abbott proposes TO make that
corporation responsible for Mr.. Royce's
criticisms. AT least Mr.. Abbott has asked
the Harvard authorities to remove Mr..
Royce from the faculty, with the intimation
that If they do not comply he will hold
them responsible for Mr.. Royce's criticisms.
We have no especial knowledge of Mir. A b.
butt's pamphlet, but on the strength of this
intelligence are inclined to regard him as q
rather clever business man. He has sue
ceeded in advertising a pamphlet at small
cost that might otherwise never have been
heard of by the body Of American readers.
The presumption now is that people will
want to read both the pamphlet criticized
and the criticisms. The idea is new that
criticism is acti0nable that is not libelOuS.
In other words. the inion q critic may eX-
press OF a book or picture, an operate or
dramatic performance is not held to cOnsti-
tute cause of action. 1t is damaging to
the work criticized or to the critic according
as it is just or unjust. A critic who should
pronounce Patti an Indifferent singer be-
cause he had no ear for music. or Hamlet
a lot of trash because he could not appre-
ciate its thought, would hurt himself more
than Patti or Shakespeare. In respect TO
Mir. Abbott it is quite likely that in getting
his little item into the Associated Press
news he has got all the satisfaction for Mr..
Ruyce's criticism that he wants.

The British West Indies are much concerned
over our reciprocity policy, the Spanish conven-

chInery of diplomacy will move in the same
sphere as In 1884, when a convention was
perfected with Spain designed to admit the
sugar of Cuba aud Porto Rico free into the
United States, and this forced the British West
Indies into convention OF similar import. which,
however, was never ratified, Secretary Bayard
having asserted that The Democratic policy
would not support the programme Of extending
commerce by special convention
1t Is semi-0tiically announced that the platform
of the British Conservatives will declare for the
cessation of special Irish legislation with the
adoption OF the Local Government Bill, and the
concentration of the attention of Parliament on
British affairs; the extension OF popular local
government; the allotment Of small holdings
for aborers; legislation for the arbitration OF
strikes; the lowest possible taxation on tea
coffee and cocoa, and the Introduction of till
providing for insurance against old age.

will have tile routing of. or shall it be
water route which this association may con-
troll? 1t must be remembered that there is
no way to escape the actual cost Of moving
merchandise by land. If we had a dozen
competing roads we should still have to
meet the cost of conveying our products
across the continent and of Eastern and
foreign goods this .way. There are two
water routes when may be utilized in the
| effort to solve the transportation problem.
The nearest all-water route is by the Straits
of Magellan. Under ordinary conditions
the trip by this route may be made in about
sixty-five days The MineOla. which ar
rived in this port on Thursday, was seventy
two DAYS from New York, but this time
NAV be greatly reduced. The advantage of
this route is that freight is carried to the
point of distribution without breaking
bulk Consequently freight by this route
can be carried at the lowest cash cost. The
disadvantage will be in time. Merchandise
crosses tie continent by railroad in about
eighteen or twenty days against sixty or
sixty-f1e by the Straits OF Magellan route.
But in many kinds of goods the time con-
sumpd only represents interest money
during tie passage. This will be a
small item when placed against the
higher freight charge by land route. There
is another wafer rpute which is Interrupted
by the few miles Of land travel on the 18th
mus of Panama Merchandise may be
transported by this route either way in
about thirty days For some years past the
advantages of this route have been lost to
this city through the railroad policy of pay
ing the Pacific Mail Company to keep
freight rates up to the railroad standard.
The Traffic Association now has an OppOr-
tunity 10 open this route on a competing
basis With one-fOurth of the money that
would bring a competing road to this city,
which when here might not compete with
existing roads, line Of steamships may be
| established either by the Panama or Straits
| OF Magellan route, or both, which will
do the bulk of the transporting business at
cost 1t is hardly to the credit of our people
that they should have permitted the land
transportation companies to deprive the
city Of the advantages of its natural water
| routes This city has lost trade by its ina
bility TO pay freight charges and still sell
goods as cheaply rs its competitors who
get lower rates. while holding by virtue Of Its
geographical position the key to the cheap
est routes connecting this city with the prin-
cpal ports with which we trade The land
transportation companies have been per
mitted to dictate prices, not only on their
own artificial routes, but on the natural
routes they neither gave nor could take
away. We hope this period of bondage
has about come to an end. In few years
the Government will quite possibly own the
Central Pacific and Union Pacific rOad-beds
subject to the use of any person or number
of persons who may like to engage in the
transportation business. Meantime we can
put vessels on one or both OF the water
routes which will carry goods to and fro at

THE PENALTIES OF WAR.

Up to the present time Chile seems to be
acting in utter disregard of the penalties OF
unsuccessful war. Even II the Chilean navy
should enable that nation to gain some tenn
porary advantages. it is not within the range
of reasonable probability that in the end
the United States will not dictate terms of
peace. What will be these terms? When
Germany hai France at her mercy 1t asked
a Thousand million dollars and two prov
inces as the price cf peace. When an Ameri-
can army was ia the City of Mexico the
price of peace was California and other
territory on the Pacific Coast and between
the coast and the Missouri River. The
United States will not go to war with Chile
unless forced to do so, and when the terms
of peace come to be talked over in the event
OF war the vict 'rious party will be likely TO
remand indemnity for the past and secur-
ity Tor the future"

THE END IN VIEW.

A contemporary. which has argued that the
present Grand Jury is an Illegal body, says
that the appointment of trial jury by the
same method is too much like q judicial
officer acting as prosecutor, Judge and jury
all in one" When a man If the character
of A. S. Halidie is appointed to name a
jury the work may be said to be taken out
of the hands of the Judge. MI. Halldie
might, and probably will, advise with men
in whom he has confidence concerning the
list of taleSmen he present. but he Ger
tainly will not receive a list from any Judge
with the understanding that it will receive
his sanction as eisor. Mr.. Halldie is one
Of the many good citizens whG want to see
