A Conservative Jury.

In these days when it is so fashionable for
fresh and foolish minds to denounce the
system OF trial by jury. We are often told
that juries cannot be relied upon to do JUS
tice In cases where corporations are defend
ants. and that they invariably find agains
the corporation. right or wrong. A curl
GUS case has just been tried In New Jersey
which illustrates not only the incorrectness
Of this idea. but also singular difference
between the laws OF New Jersey and the
laws Of New York In respect to the con-
domination Of lands for railroad uses.
Mr.. EDEN LANG OF Railway was the
owner OF q piece OF land In Union county
which the Pennsylvania Railroad desired to
take. in the exercise Of the power OF eminent
domain conferred upon that corporation by
statute. A commission was appointed to
appraise the value OF the property thus con-
demned. The commissioners decided that
1t was worth $500. Under the laws Of New
Jersey the property owner In such case
has right to appeal to the courts and there
have the value OF his land passed upon by
jury. Mr.. LANG took this course and car
lied the controversy into the Union County
Court. where the case was tried before
struck jurJ. This jury on Friday fixed the

value OF the property taken at ss,1s1.6s. thus
reducing the award OF the commissioners
by more than one-half. The officials OF the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company cannot be
blamed IL they indulge In smile OF sweet
satisfaction at this remarkable result.
In New York there is no provision for .
fury trial after an appraisal by commits
sioners In proceedings to take land for rail-
road purposes. Tho award OF the COM
missioners IL subject to review by Judge
OF the Supreme Court at Special Term. who
may confirm the report or set 1t aside for
irregularity or for error OF law In the pro-
ceedings before the commissioners. or upon
the ground that the award is excessive or
insufficient. When o report Is set aside,
rehenring Is directed either before the same
commissioners or new ones appointed by
tho Court. The award. however. Ia very
seldom interfered with by the courts I'M
less the commissioners have committed
some error OF principle In conduct
ing the proceedings. or have awarded
e. sum which IL grossly and pal
pably excessive. The tendency OF Judi
clal decision on this subject in New York
has been to uphold the action OF the COM
missloners in such cases and make 1t final
in the absence Of some slarlng error.
In view OF the result Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company's case at Railway. prop
erty owners In New York will hardly favor
a change to tho New Jersey system Of rc-
view by Jury trial in proceedings to con-
denim land

put FORWARD, after Mr. GLApsToNE's return
to power. Relying on this specious argyll
mcnt, thcy would undoubtedly encourage
tho House Of Lords to reject tho measure
and thus compel a second appeal to the
country. On tho other hand, tho Lords
would scarcely dare to throw out n
bill, oil OF whose details Ind been
subjected to vigilant inspection and
thorough discussion during q political
campaign. BY resisting the unambiguous.
explicit fiat OF the nation they would Inn
pcril tho existence OF the hereditary cham
her. Not the concession Of homo rule to
Ireland, but the abolition OF the upper
House wonld be the question on which the
ensuing election would turn. Mr.. GLAD
STONE has, in other words. determined that
the Judgment rendered by tho British ma
ton In tho approaching trial OF the Irish
cause shall lie conclusive and beyond appeal.
The details OF the new measure have not
yet been made known to us. though 1t Is
expected that they will DO very shortly.
We arc especially curious to learn what at
engagements will be made for regulating
Irelands contribution to tho imperial
revenues. aud whether tho control Of the
Irish constabulary will be delegated to the
new Dublin Government. On the answers
given to these questions largely depends
the maintenance OF harmonious relations
between tho Gladstonians and the Nc
Carthyites. It is already announced that
the revised scheme embodics one Of Mr..
PARNELL's demands. namely. that appoint
ments to the Irish judiciary shall be
made by tho Irish executive. We
arc also informed. as indeed VIC
have long had reason to expect. that
ireland will continue to be represented at
Westminster. though whether BY rs many
members US she now sends Is not stated.
One more feature OF the amended plan has
been divulged. viz. that the Dublin legisla-
ture will consist Of two chambers. though
on what principle the upper House Is to be
constituted Is not mentioned. It is very
doubtful whether the Nationalists would
tolerate restoration Of legislative rights
to tho Irish peeruge.

The Two Topics.

SO distant an observer as tho London
Times reports OF the New York campaign
that two prominent subjects are discussed
tho Chicago Fair and Tammany Hall.
To perfect its report tho Times should
havc credited each one Of these topics to Its
rightful source. 1t is tho Democrats who
are talking OF the Fair, and the Republicans
who nre talking Tammany Hall.
They cannot mention the Worlds Fair
without throwing up the sponge. To dis
cuss It in tho sincerity OF tho patriotic Re-
pubicans who did ther best to head OF the

No-Paster Plat.

Mr.. THOMAS COLLIER PLArT has unbo-
somed himself to Mr.. JOHN BROOKE LEAv1rr,
blanket ballot reformer. on the great ques-
ton OF the blanket ballot. Mr. LEAyITT, it
seems. had pain. He was not sure that
Mr.. PLATr had tho true seraphic, Mug
wumpian spirit in regard to pastors. So
Mr.. LEAvrrr wrote to Mr.. PLATr and asked
him how he took tho ballot. whether with
or without pastors. Mr.. PLATr replied in o
tone Of hurt surprise that 1t was almost
superfluous and absurd" to ask him II his
heart was true to the blanket ballot and set
like q flint against pastors. "There is
no man In this State" writes Mr..
PLAT, a fine fervor OF enthusiasm
warming his wintry cheek. "be he Repub-
lican or reformer. who Is more thoroughly
In earnest In his desire to introduce into the
Legislature and pass a bill embodying the
blanket ballot without pasters;' and my in-
t1uence has been steadily exerted In that
direction for three years last past. and will
be In the next Legislature. which. I feel
confident. will be thoroughly in accord with
these sentiments
1t was proper for Mr.. LEAvITr to address
Mr.. PLATT. Mr.. PLATT is the Republican
candidate for Governor. and his opinions
are interesting. The blanket men who
went through the empty form OF asking Mr..
FAssETT what his opinion about pastors was
wasted time and postage. Mr.. FAssHrr
doesn't count.
The Mugwumps can now DO certain that
Mr.. PLArr is sound In his views OF pastors.
For three years he has been the foe of
pastors. and II he elects himself Governor
and Legislature. he will use his influence
with himself for the abolition OF the per-
nicious paster and the triumph of the blanket
ballot. He will continue to oppose reappor-
donment. He will continue to oppose the
interests Of this city. He will continue to
punish 1t for being Democratic by irritat-
