serving official rec0gniti"n, and the Oldtilne custom OF
honorably mentioning the men will be revived. Two
orders, covering respectively such acts ana conduct III

services. In the order for 1883, for instance, there

THE IMMIGRATION BILL PASSED.

hopes expressed in tO-day's Issue Of The Tribune, not

The bill differs from the law row in f0rco chiefly In
this. that it prohibits an intending Immigrant from

been inserted, since the present law, if properly al

STATE OF BUSINESS IN THE SENATE.

Washington, Feb. % Cp~cciaD.-Mr. Wilson'S death
necessarily deprived the senate to-day Of another after
moons work on the business now pressing 50 heavily
for consideration upon that body. 1t looks now. con
sequcntly, as if little more can be accomplished by
next Wednesday noon than the passage Of the SIX
regular appropriation bills still left TO be acted upon.
The sundry Civil bill will probably be disposed Of
70 morrow, and it is the sanguine hope Of the Arpro-
priations Committee that only two days-Fr1day and
saturday-will be needed for the Legislative, Executive
and Judicial and the Indian bills. The disposition
has been manifested 80 far TO sit during next sun
day, 50 that Monday and Tuesday VIII have TO be used
for the passing Of the Agricultural. PoNlonlcc ana
General Deficiency bills. ANY arllhnictlcdl compute
ton Of the time now at the disposal OF the senate VIII
show that not many hour, can be safely set aside for
general legislation. There f., indeed. a strong I'M
preston that not more than NO or three more of tho
measures on the Republican order Of business can
possibly be acted upon at this session, and the ONLY
chance they have is based upon the speedy abandon
ment Of The pending unfinished business to amend the
charter of the Nicaragua Canal Company.

The Jury system.

The alarming frequency with
which iuries render yerdicts utterly
at variance with all law and evidence,
has caused the enquiry as to
whether there is not something radi-
cally wrong in the jury system of
the present day. As the jury system is
the foundation Of all our existing
social institutions. the question is
one of great importance, and should
meet with careful consideration.
The man who claims there is
something radically wrong in our
jury system, will doubtless find he
has made too broad a statement.
Unquestionably it has its defects as
all human institutions must have,
bnt upon careful consideration they
will be found to be defects rather in
the way we use the system than in
the system itself. In large major
ity Of eases it will be observed that
when juries return yerdiets obvious
ly unjEst, it is because of its absence
of either intelligence or morality
from the jury box. Until we take
the proper precautions to have our
juries constituted of capable aud
honest men, we cannot reasonably
expect satisfactory results. When the
better educated and more intelligent
citizens shirk jury duty by every pos.
sible pretext, and turn the service
over to the least capable and lowest
classes of citizens, the consequences
are of their own making, and they
alone are responsible for the failure
of the system. Absolutely correct
verdicts cannot always be assured
under its most favorable circumstan.
ces, as the mis- takes of men, the linn
itation of human wisdom, and the
errors af human Judgment are to a
great extent unavoidable. This remis.
ness on the part of the better class
es of business and professional men
in the discharge of a plain public
duty, is one of the main causes of
the inefiiciency and corruption of
our Jury system. Their neglect
leaves the task to fall into the h ,nds
of lower classes, or professional jury
men, upon whose intelligence and
honesty no dependence can be placed.
Men should realize that it is their
duty to make some personal sacrifices
IN order that justice may be rightly
administered. With few obvious
reforms in this respect, with an ear
nest endeavor to secure better yer
diets by improving tina character of
juries, and with some rational atten-
ton TO the personal qualifications of
men for jury service, the jury system
will work well enough 10 put an end
TO all legitimate complaints agains.

THE point has been raised chat the
constitutional amendment empower
ing the Legislature to change the
terms of county commissioners can
not apply to those just elected. This
is mistake. All the officers Of the
State were elected at the same time
the constitution of 1887 was adopted,
and served under the provisions of
that constitution. The new amend
ment repeats the section of the con-
stitueion which fixes the term Of
Office for county commissioners. and
there is now nodefnite term of Office
for them until The Legislature fixes
one under the authority of the
amendment.
