MAJORITY vERDICTS.

The people OF Minnesota have taken a
departure from the old rule of unaminity
in verdicts. They have adopted consti-
tutional amendment making verdict by
FIVE sixths CT the jury in civil action good
and valid. Hereafter in that state eleven
or ten of the good and true men will be able
TO decide case, in spite of the stubborn or
corrupt one or two.
Minnesota is TO be congratulated upon the
courage she has displayed in freeing her
self from a rule which has nothing to
recommend it except its antiquity. 1t is
inexplicable that states will. go along
clinging to the old system when every in
telligent man in the community viii admit
that the law is antiqualad; is a source of
annoyance and the cause of great public
and private expense, and does not subserve
the ends Of justice. We undertake to say
that in i've cases out of six unanimous yer
diets are compromise yerdicts and do not
represent even the majority of the jury.
They are give and take affairs, the effort
being not to arrive It justice but 10 get
somewhere in its neighborhood and har-
monte the jurors rather than satisfy the
llblgdHtS. Inc eleVen STUBBORN Jurors are
familiar in every court II is OF frequent
occurrence that one man, who may be a
knave, fool or crank, viii hang jury, and
put litigants and the state to great and
unnecessary cost, TO say nothing of the
wrong to one or the other of the parties
which his wicked or foolhardy, stubborn
action may intiict. We have known of
scores of such instances, some of them
where the dissen ting juror was a scoundrel
and others where he was honestly and con-
scientiously stubborn, believing the eleven
we're in error.
Minnesota having taken the departure.
1t is predicted that not only will jury trials
result in better verdicts, but there will be
a remarkable saving of time and money
and then let US hope that other states will
get courage to bring common sense to bear
on this matter. Another change IN our
jury system should be inaugurated, and
the rule be abolished which excludes intel
igent men who have opinions from the
jury box. Our regard for ancient custom
is entirely too high. 1t Is SO high that it
amounts to confession that we have made
no advance in hundreds of years.

THE OKLAHOMA LESSON.

Governor STEELE, of Oklahoma, passed
through Chicago this week en- route for
Washington for the purpose of asking Con-
gress to do something for the relief Of the
people of his territory. He represents
them as being in state of great destitu-
ton, and says that unless measures shall
soon be adopted for supplying them with
food and clothing, there will be much suf-
fering. The settlement of Oklahoma fur
nishes striking Illustration of how men
will take leave of their senses and madly
rush to things which they wovld avoid if
they were to give their judgment chance.
The boomers flew into the new territory
without thinking to inquire as to what the
country was like or to make provision for
the future. They acted as if they were
mad had gone crazy, and thought that the
only essential to their support and happi-
ness was quarter section of land in Okla
homa. Having acquired the land, they re-
covered their wits to learn that Oklahoma
was very much like the rest of the country,
only a little worse, and that its soil
would yield a living only to those
who toiled hard and directed their
labors wisely. 1t was by no means a
Garden of Eden which they entered.
Doubtless hundreds of the mad boomers
left better homes and more productive
farms than Oklahoma will ever furnish.
The result is precisely what people who
had their wits about them knew it would
be, hence the disappointment is confined to
the people in the territory who refused to
be advised.
OF course something should be done for
the relief of the poor misguided folks
Foolish as they were this is America and it
will not do to let anybody suffer so long as
there is plenty for all. At the same time
we cannot but think of the lesson that has
been given.

PRESIDENT HARRISON was once a be-
lever in the theory that no law could be
successfully enforced when popular senti-
ment was against it. He presented this
cogent argument against the force bill
policyin speech delivered in the Senate.

thorities. 10 protect them in those rights of
which they are so cruelty deprived. But have

this government is, with its complex organiza-

1t Is ridiculous proposition which is
before the Philadelphia councils in regard
to rapid transit. 1t is that passengers
riding in street cars must be given
seats. The proposed ordinance provides
that the street car companies shall take in
ali who desire to ride, and that passenger
who rides eight squares without being fur
ished seat may have the company fined IS
and costs. Not only this, but the license of
the offending car shall be revoked. Such a
law would soon bankrupt the richest street
railway in Philadelphia, for malicious per-
sons would make it their business to crowd
the cars beyond their capacity for the sole
purpose Of having the company fined 1t
would not be bad law which would compel
the refusal TO receive passengers after all
the seats in car were occupied, but to
force company to furnish seats for every
body would be absurd.

SURPRISING A CASE.

The Tribune, yesterday, supposed a
case" in which it depicted the allurement
Of innocent Mormons into houses of pros
titution by Gentiles, and held up its hands
in feigned horror at the infamy of such a
supposed case.
For paper that has advocated that very
thing, is a strange spasm of wordy vir-
tue which the Tribune now assumes. It has
advocated the allurement of the Young
men of Utah into saloons, gambling dens
and worse places, for the purpose, it
said, of breaking the shackles they were
born in.
But there is no necessity for ''supposing''
anything, even in the cases the Tribune
mentions, in which it declares the wicked
Mormons "allured'-no: it says they hired
low women to allure innocent non-Mor-
mons ''into the meshes of their death
coils" The reader will please observe the
point of the charge made against the Nor
mons, that they persuaded women to
''allure'' these innocent and weak fellows
into their dens, and then arrested the in
nocents thus inveigled into such bad places.
The grotesque balderdash of these be-
wildered innocents about their having been
''allured" into visiting these places, set the
whole world laughing at the time Never
theless, as the Tribune says, the man who
secured the evidence against these limo
cents" was arrested for conspiracy, tried
before packed jury of Liberals in full
sympathy with these fellows, convicted
and imprisoned for one year in the county
jail.
1t is hardly necessary to state that all the
injured innocents" who had been thus
"allured" into by and forbidden paths,
were set free. The only thing proved
against the man who furnished the evi-
dence against them was that he induced the
women to allow him to get the evidence
These innocent non-Mormons are still
abroad in the land, seeking who may again
devour them, we doubt not.
The facts in the other case supposed by
the Tribune are that Mormon and dep
uty marshal met in dark alley, exchanged
words and blows, and the Mormon was sho,
down by the deputy. Nothing was done
with the deputy, of course but an indict
ment was promptly found against the Nor
mon, who would similarly have met ter
rible fate at the hands of the packed Liberal
jury, for the crime Of continuing to live
after he had bean shot. He went abroad.

A NOTEWORTHY EXCEPTION.
From the Kimbau Is. d. Grnnbic

FROM uie htmbdu Is. d. Graphic.
While the columns of the Grdphic are
open to any and all unobiectionable adver-
tlsements, yet it is quite impossible for us
to speak knowingly of the merits of the
various articles of merchandise advertised.
Particularly is this true of patent medi-
clnes. But there are exceptions occasionally,
and noteworthy exception is the cele.
brated Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
This, now universally known medicine
has been advertised in the Grdphfc for
four or five years but not until recently
had we any personal knowledge of its won
derful efticacy which has come about
through the prevailing influenza and the
stubborn cough that has so often attended
it. In the writer's family this medicine
has on several occasions this winter cured
cough that baffied any aud al other
remedies; and the number of families in
kimball and vicinity, in which this remedy
has been used with like effects, attests to
its value as specific for coughs and colds
of every nature. For sale by 2. c. M. r

PHYSICIANS HAVE FouNo OFT

That contamination and foreign element
in the blood, developed by indigestion, is
the cause of rheumatism. This settles upon
the sensitive sub -cutaneous covering of
the muscles and ligaments of the Joints,
causing constant and shifting pain, and ag-
gregating as calcareous, chalky deposit,
which produces stiffness and distortion of
the FONTS. No fact which experience has
demonstrated in regard to Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, has stronger evidence to
support than this, namely, that this medi-
cine of comprehensive uses checks the for
midable and atroclous disease, nor is it less
positively established that it is preferable
to the posons often used to arrest it, since
the medicine contains only salutary ingre-
dents. It'll also signal remedy for mala-
rial levers, constipation, dyspepsia, kid
ney and bladder ailments, debility and other
disorders. See that you get the genuine. II
