THE JURY SOLVENT.

There is frequent comment In the pa
pers. and generally of favorable char
acter, over the jury amendment to the
constitution of this state, recently
adopted. There is, however, much mis-
conception as to its scope and status.
The Cleveland Leader, in the following,
apparently understands it to be COM
pulsory, and to apply to criminal as well
as civil cases:
Minnesota is making most interesting ex
pertinent with an amended jury law. By q
recent enactment there; ten OF the twelve
members of a jury are given power to rem
der binding verdict This change is one
that has been favored by many able lawyers
in recent years, but natural conservatism
and the constitutional barriers in many
states have thus far prevented any
serious movement in the direction OF
majority rule in the jury room. The Min
nesota method of requiring only fye-sixths
majority to secure a verdict has many argu-
ments in its favor, not the least OF which is
the power which the old system gives one
persistent stubborn and unreasonable man
on a jury. Under Ohio law. as it stands to-
day, if criminal lawyer can "fx'' one of
the twelve men his case is virtually won, for
one crank can stand for all time between
eleven just men and verdict If the Min
nesota law is found to work as satisfactorily
as we anticipate. like change in the jury
laws will find many earnest advocates in
other states.
The experiment" if the legislature
shall see fit to pass law to enforce the
provision Of the constitution, which is
not mandatory. can only provide that in
civil cases the jury, after wrestling
after verdict for six hours, can then
try for it by fve-sixths vote. That is
a mild innovation upon the common

a MORMON DEAL.

The Mormon leaders have made some

as reported. Extensive tracts of land
in Idaho and Colorado have been
bought, but no particular Importance
seems to attach to these. They are
probably good farming districts and
advantageous as investments, as well as
perhaps furnishing present opportunity
to increase profitable production. The
big deal is located in Northern Mexico.
Elder or Bishop YOUNG is credited with
the purchase of 100000 acres. The
conditions stated in connection with
this deal are the most significant part,
and afford basis for the impression that
there is a purpose to establish new
land for the Saints, where they will
be measurably free from the yeXa-
tons they have experienced i'll

ton of them are of alien birth, and the
general spirit of the institution is alien

to build railroad l 800 miles in length,
and the Mexican government is to pay
every family that settles on the tract
$500 and every single man $50. With
such inducements the work of the

bly, be productive. The country has
very great natural resources. and needs

GOSSIP OF THE PRESS.
New York Still Pivotal.

Utica Daily Press.
There is no likelihood that New York
will lose the prominence and importance
enjoyed in almost every presidential
election since the war. Garfield carried
it in 1880 and was elected. Blaine lost
it by narrow margin in 1884 and was
defeated. Harrison carried it in 1888
and was elected. 1t is not too much to
presume that whoever carries New York
in 1892 Will be elected. From the very
nature of things it is bound to be the
pivotal state. In the first place it has
more electoral votes than any other,
and on that account is the most valuable
1t is better to have it in the right
column than to have half dozen
little Western States. And then it is
always an uncertain state. Others can
be pretty accurately counted before
hand, but what New York will do can
never be ascertained with certainty.
Where it stands is learned only when
the votes are counted. 1t is always
fair fighting ground in presidential
contest, and generally sides itself with
the winner. The most desirable man
for either party to nominate is the man
who can carry New York.

CONSIDERABLY MIXED,
Though the Democrats Expect
Trip to Win.

Special to the Globe.
HURON, S. d., Jan. 2.-The joint con-
ference of Independent and Democratic
members of the legislature this after
noon failed to come to any definite con-
clusion concerning the United States
senatorship. They agreed to stand to-
gether in the organization of the house.
This may not be carried out, as the In
dependents want all the best offices and
the chairmen of most of the important
committees. The Democrats think, in
consideration of this. they should have
the United States senator, and insist
upon the Independents support of
Trip, and believe, when the proper
time comes, they will rally to MIN in
preference to Harden or WardaIl. The
friends of the latter. however, declare
they will remain loyal to him, no matter
what Loucks may desire. Democrats
are certain Trip will win.

GOULD and the other railroad magnates
want to combine and simplify for the
benefit of the public. When trusts care
to make any defense, they usually pro-
pose to reduce prices 1t is difficult to
remember many instances where they
have improved opportunities of this
sort. Perhaps the harvester combina-
tion is to have a better memory.

The half dozen legislatures that

joint convention and declare the result.
If no one has majority in each house,
the joint assembly will ballot at noon
every day till there is an election. The
