JUDGES AND JURIEs.

A newspaper contemporary, which has
heretofore assisted Buckley in his efforts to
control the municipal and State govern
mentS, trusts that Judge Wallace may sue
coed in getting a Grand Jury together that
will understand its duties and have the
courage 20 carry them out" The same
paper says further:
Recent Grand Juries have been of the most
harmless character. Nothing good or evil has
come froms them, and nobody knows whether
they SIT or not. what IS needed now is a grand
inGuisiion that will investigate and get 20
lie bottom Of some OF the Us ly facts, whose out
groupings have recently been plain. Tie Fay.
Tor case showed I remarkable lead OF venallty
and corruption. II can be followed with rich re-
suits by 81 strong Grand Jury An inquiry not
bound by technical rules OF evidence would
bring oui facts 10 put most of the san Francisco
legislators under Indictment, with good chance
Of going 10 San Quentin.
This i, doubtless, all very well, but Judge
Wallace cannot do what our contemporary
asks him TO do. Why? Because he does
not have control of the selection OF a Grand
Jury. Judge Wallace may, if lie detects an
indication Of fraud, as he did some days ago,
put his loot upon il, but he does not select
the persons who will serve as jurors; neither
does he draw their names from the jury-box.
The trouble is that the men who term them
selves politicians institute the frauds. The
municipal offices are full of such persons,
and they are ready to do anything to cloak
crime il they are paid for it. This is why
certain persons are SO anxious to work their
creatures into the County Clerks Office as
deputies and it is why few men are elected
TO judgeships who are unfit for their posi-
tions. Ii the public wishes to have honest
jurors, honest Judges and honest members
of the Legislature. they must see that hon.
est meu are nominated for these positions,
and not put up with such creatures as have
been selected for them bv designing knayes.

TWENTY sHILLINGs a WEEK.

THE CALLS London correspondent in
Sundays CALL gives some interesting items
concerning the condition of English labor
ers. especially those of Liverpool. Steady
labor and plenty of 1t, he says, is the rule.
The least possible wages upon which work
ers may exist also prevail. The best paid
men employed on the docks are steyedores.
who get shlliugs day. Five shillings En-
gliSh money is little less than 81 % Ameri-
can money From this condition of COMPARE
tive comfort the decline is gradual but sure.
Policemen get from 20 to 50 shillings week,
hut are required to submit TO deductions to
create a pension fund. Imagine a San
Francisco policeman on SIS a week salary
laying by tenth to provide against old age.
Our policemen draw their 500 per month
and expect the city to pension them after
twenty years service. English travellers in
the United States have objected to the
high hack charges prevailing in this
country. The LIVERPOOL cabmen earn from
- to IS shillings a week-in our money
from 81 30 to IS 80. Clerks in wholesale
houses earn from 16 to 1S and 20 shillinss a
week. A few head clerks and accountants
vary from so to 40 shillings. The proportion
who 90 over 30 is too small to be consid-
cred. NiDe-teuthS are in the under twenty
shillings class. Plain cooks earn shillings
a week; house servants, g. Shop-girls earn
from TO shillings, and there is class of
tenement-house workers who earn even
less Americans who are delighted to find
clothes a little cheaper in England than in
the United States should consider at what
price their cheapness is obtained. Tourists
who think it q fine thing to ride couple of
hours in a London cab for shilling should
bear in mind that man, horse and the
wear and tear of the cab have to be pro-
vided for out OF a days earnings at that
rate. The late Mathew Arnold, visiting the
United States, protested against the 50-cent
cab fare prevailing in Eastern cities. He
thought it a prepoSterous charge. He had
had similar service in English cities for
shilling, or fractiOn.leSs than % cents, and
had probably never given q thought to the
condition of man and beast living on five or
six fares a day

PAN-AMERICAN.

a Pan-American Transportation Company
has been formed with capital stock of
S1o,0oo,000. and authority to increase to
Sl000Go,000. Its purpose is to put on
lines Of steamers between the Southern
ports of the United States and the prin-
cipal ports of South America. Central
America and the West Indies. This Or
ganzatiOn may be easily traced to legisla-
tion of the last Congress. The clause in the
Mckinley tariff bill which authorized the
President to restore to the dutiable list ar
ticles from foreign nations which have come
in duty free unless such nations made rea-
sonable concessions as to the admission of
American products will enable American
manufacturers to largely increase their ex-
ports to South American countries, and the
mail-subsidy bill gives American steamship
companies certain advantage over foreign
companies in competing for the carrying of
this increased trade. Whether the expecta-
lions Of the Treasurer Of the Pan-American
Company that within year after con-
templated lines are established the United
States will have as much carrying trade as
any nation are fully realized or not, there
is almost a certainty of great results from
these two measures with American enter
prise to put them in complete operation.

OF South America, Central America and the

which we have reciprocity will certainly be

A LAW UNTO HIMSELF.

In the few months during which Judge
Mckay has held the position of County
Judge he has made for himself quite a
name Judge Mckay. 1t will be remem-
bered. was elected in Kansas by the ALI
ance party on the strength Of his strong in
diyiduality. He had never studied law nor
even practiced law without studying it, but
was supposed to be endowed with a fine
sense of justice which would serve in the
place of legal knowledge. 1t appears, how
ever, that Judge Mckay had not been long
on the bench when the. Supreme Court
found occasion to reverse one of his decis-
ions. But Judge Mckay did not propose to
be reversed. One of the parties who had
been seeking justice in Judge McKay's
court accepted the decision of the Supreme
Court as higher authority than that of
Judge Mckay. The immediate consequence
was that the offending seeker after Justice
was fined, and more remote consequence
was the appearance of Judge Mckay before
the Supreme Court on charge of contempt
of court. While contempt proceedings were
pending special Judge was appointed to
sit in Judge McKay,s court In the course
of time Mckay got through with the Su-
preme Court and returned to his own court
One of his first acts was to set aside all the
decisions the special Judge had made dur
ing his absence. The Alliance papers in

wILL-MAKING AND wILL-BREAKING

In the class of minds in which the money
making faculty is dominant a desire is often
manifested to perpetuate wealth in as solid
a form as the law will allow. 1t is well
known that two generations of the Wander
bits have concentrated the bulk of their
wealth on one son, leaving others in COM
paratively moderate circumstances. No
generation of the Astor family has had
large family of children to provide for. The
Nanderbilts, however, do not furnish the
only instance of an attempt on the part of
very rich men to keep the bulk of their
money intact after death. The British law
OF primogeniture saves large landed pro-
prietors the trouble of making will. The
eldest son inherits by law. He is generally
expected to do something for brothers and
sisters, but the spectacle is often witnessed
of an enormously rich elder brother with an
absolutely poor younger brother. In the
United States the law divides an estate
evenly among the children, giving one-half
or one-third to the widow if there is one.
In this way rich mans property is dis
tributed. The evils of enormous aggrega-
ton of wealth are thus in measure cor
rected. But there is growing fashion of
taking large estates out of the hands of the
law. Even when there are heirs of I'M
questioned legitimacy the tendency is to
concentrate the property on one, with just
comfortable provision for others. In this
way il is expected to create an aristOeracy
of wealth after the English plan of landed
ariSt0cTacy. 1t is probable that in the
course of time the law will step in to pre-
vent the accumulation of property in fam-
lies in amounts that may he considered a
menace TO public good. The right Of the
law to do this in unquestioned. 1t is by the
operation OF law that private ownership in
property is maintained, and the law may
place a limit upon its own operation. 1t
may be said that man in one lifetime can
not accumulate property enough to seriously
menace the public good. But if a man may
project his accumulations into the future
substantially unimpaired a Dlutocracy may
be established compared to- which consti-
tutional monarchy would be democratic in
everything but name. The idea that man
may do what lie will with his own is
founded in disregard OF the fundamental
principle that government is for the great
est good of the greatest number. The right
to accumulate property and hold it is given
by the national Constitution. but the right
TO control the ownership and management
of property after death is another matter.
There is natural limit to human lite, and
the ability of one man to amass wealth
during this natural life is Consequently
limited; but who can place limit on accu-
mutations that may be handed down
through generations, if no limits are set
upon the power 10 enforce wills?
