ground" And it seems to me that the
wrongs of the suffering poor and every
death in their miserable homes cry
unto God against us. Then let the in
vestlgation. go on, the search, the ar
raignmen5 aud the reform. 1t is a
.onely pitjless task. Only one man in
all England was found who would dare
visit the prisoners and cry out for re-
form. John Howard did it, and he
reformed them all and brought bless
!ngs to thousands of the oppressed.
Our people read the papers eagerly to
see the last big advertisement of cheap
goods Cheaper and cheaper they get
every week, especially clothing for men
and women. Fine linenbcsom shirts
for 10 cents! How cheap! we all exclaim
we must buy somehow can they
| afford them at that price? These sew
ing women can tell you. + never see
one of these displayed advertisements,
but what I feel pain, a shadow and
another verse of Hoods song comes
over me:
Oh, men with sisters dear,
Oh, nen'with mothers and wives,
Its not linen you are wearing out,
But human creatures lives"
The newspapers tell US there is to bea
third party and its watch-word will be,
"Down with the plutocracy." Does
that mean relief for the poor and friend
less-the sewing women, the factory
girls, the starved and hopeless in the
slums of the great cities-or is just for
the farmers and politicians?
Who are the pluctorats, anyhow? Am
I one? Are you one? I am rich COM
pared with Cobe. Maybe T am his plu-
tocrat. My neighbor Munford is
mine, and Joe Brown is his, and Jay
Gould is Joe Browns. Every man
is piutocrat to somebody. When th |
downing begins I reckon we will all go |
to wrestling and try to down somebody.
I'll give Cobe powerful tussle before
he shall down me, but I'm afraid to
Jackie 2lunford. Think will let him
keep what he has got, if he will promise
not to get any more.
Now, if the new party will put these
poor toilers and bread-winners on the
middle plank in thir platform and pro-
vide homes for them and good work
and living wages, T will join it. There
are over 100000 of them, according to

cine, no delicacies when sick, no privi-
eges when we'll Tariff reform and
rec coinage of silver are nothing to
hem-but every cent that is added to
he price Of cotton or wheat or corn or
potatoes is something to them. It
makes their food and their clothing
ost just that much more. Six months .
go corn was 50 cents bushel-now it s
5 81, and the poor are paying it. But
r""kor the new party will fix it up
ONE way so that the farmers can get +

When farmers feel that they are op-

and children the poorest farmer in Bar

4 NICE LEGAL QUESTION.
Ar Abrupt Ending OF the Hichlird Court
The Jurors Illegally Served-The
Points and Judge Fraser's Dcci-
LReyister, June, 18th. !

Yesterday was the day set for the
second trial Of Wade Eaines for tho
murder of Miss Florence Hornsby, but
greatly to the surprise of every one, the
case did not come off and goes over tC
the October term Of court. When the
case was called 4 motion was made by
the attorneys for the defense for con-
tinuance on the ground of absence Of q
material witness. Judge Fraser ruled
that the counsel must submit in writ
! ing what witness would testify if pre-
sent, and if admitted by the solicitor,
the case would proceed. This was done
and both sides then announced them
selves as ready for trial. Thereupon
Mr.. c. A. Douglass ofcounsel for Haines
interposed challenge to the array of
grand and petit jurors aud moved to
Guash the panel, both grand and petit.
The point raised by Mr.. Douglass
against the venire for the grand jury
was: l. That there was not affixed to
the venire the seal of the court; ,. That
the wri5summoned the grand jury only
for the March term of court and not
for the year as required by law.
In reference to the question raised as
to the seal, there was a seal clerks
seaD to the certificate of the jury COM
missioners, but none to the writ of
venire.
The Supreme Court, as cited by coun-
sci in the case of the State VS.. Dozier, ?
Speers Reports, 81. decided that the
writs of venire, both grand and petit,
are parts of the record, and fatal de-
feet in either is fatal to case. 1t also
has decided that the absence of a seal
to either writ makes it no writ in law,
and it is therefore fatally defective.
The point thus raised by Mr.. Doug
lass is an exceedingly interesting one,
and is fsr-reaching as it will clearly
affect the integrity of the grand jury at
the October term Of the court; and in
view ofits Importance Judge Fraser de-
clined to rule upon it instanter and re-
served his decision.
The second point made by counsel
was to the writ of venire for the petit
jury.
Several points were raised as regarded |
this: /. That the law requires that |
thirty-siX good and lawful men shall |
be summoned to serve on the jury and |
that one man on the panel drawn was
dead when drawn and two others were |
exempt by law. 2. That the law re-
quires "the sheriff. to summon jurors,
and that it must be done by him, or at
least by deputir who have regularly
taken the oath Of office taken by
The Sheriff himself, and that this
venire was served by three persons be-
sides the Sheriff, and who were not so
appointed. 8. That when jurors are ab-
sent they can only be legally served by
eaving the notification at their resi-
lenc, and not at place of business, as
vas done with some Of the jurors on
his panel. Judge Fraser sustained the
points raised by Mr.. Douglass, and
ssued the following order to quash the
'enire:
STATE OF SOUTH CARoLINA-in the
Session Court of Richland.

vas maoe. - the defendant, and he
! moved to quash the panel. After hear.
ing argument it is ordered: That the
panel be quashed upon the ground that
it does not appear upon the face thereof
that any jurors were summoned ac-
cording to law.
1t is further ordered that the defend.
ant, Wade Haines, be recommitted to
! the penitentiary to await his trial in
due course of law. IT. B. FRASER,
Presiding Judge.
June "a, 1891.
Of course this order put an abrupt
termination to the proceedings of the
sessions, and the jurymen drawn for
| the week were discharged.
| 1t should be said that the manner in
which the return to the writ Of venire
was made by the Sheriff is N accord
ance with the general practice through
| out the State, and it was so stated by
| Mr.. Douglass in his argument yester-
day. The printed writ with the affida-
Wit of service attached is the form used
in all the counties, and it would there
fore appear that numberless juries have
been illegally drawn in this State. This,
however, does not at all affect cases
that have been tried by such juries, as
hestatutes provide that all questions
affecting the legality Of jury must be
raised at the time CT trial, and the
failure to raise them cures any infor-
mality that may have existed.
It had been agreed by the bar that
the trial of cases in the Common Pleas
should commence OF Monday, July 6,
and in this arrangement Judge Fraser
has concurred. It may be, however,
that this complication as to the juries
may prevent any jury trials at Com
mon Pleas, and that only equity cases
will be disposed of.

MET AFTER s gvENrEEN YEARS.
Henry Pierce Recognizes Pis Mother
Ia an Old Depot Apple Woman.

Ia an Old Depot Apple Woman.
From The Chicago Ee,rs
After seventeen years of separation Henry
Pierce aud his mother met by accident at
the union depot on Saturday. In 1874
young Pierce, then aged Il years, ron away
from home in jackson, Mich. His father,
who was a wel-to- do merchant, made every
possible effort to find his son. but without
success. From the day he left home nothing
was heard from him. A year or 80 after
bis son ran sway tne elder Pierce failed in
business and Ia less than a year died, leaV-
Ing penniless his wife and young
daug hter. For a time the widow man
aged to support both herself ard daughter
by taking III seai1g, but her health failed
and they were reduced to ebiect poverty
About year after her fathers death the
daughter died. TIE mother decided to come
to Chicago, whore she had friends. Hers
was the old story- of friends in prosperity
Indifferent in diversity. Again for time
she supported herself with her needle. but
falling sight compelled hor to seek other
means of earning livelihood. she began
selling fruit at the railway depJts, and man
aged 70 sustain q confOriIeS5 existence.
After leaving his nome III Jackson Pierce
went to DetI OFT, where for time he made
his living blackiug boots and selling papers.
oOoa tlEiHg OF that sort oil lie he drlfted to
New Ycrk, where re secured employment
with tae wholesale clothing firm Of Hart
well, Me6eei & Co, with whom he has since
teen, and is now the junior memter Of the
firm. About ten days ago he left New
York for a business trip in the west After
few days STAY il st. Louis lie arrived
mere last Saturday morning on the
Chicago u Alton train on his way to st.
Paul. While waiting about the depot for
bis train he was approached by the old apple
woman with Ter basket of fruit Something
in the voice aud manners of the old lady at
tracted his attention. sud after buying some
OF her fruit he eugas ed her IN conversation.
She told him The story of her life, and the
fact suddenly dawned on his mind that the
old lady was his mother. "Reminiscences
were exchanged aud old times recalled until
each was convinced that mother and
son had met. The basket of fruit was soon
disposed Of. Entering a cab they we're
driven TO dry goods store, where he pur-
chased her new cloak, gloves and other
articles of clothing. From tee dry goods
store they were driven to the old Iady's
room, near the depot, where she collected a
few Of her effects, among them picture Of
her son, taken a short time before he left
home. 1t was happy couple that left for
st. Paul on the late train.
