A pnlrry Attack.

The statement having been made that
CLEVELAND. though not brilliant writer
or orator, has a powerful way of stating
things in that direct style of his own" our
morning contemporary remarks;
He has powerful way because behind him
there is more than $50 pounds Of avoirdupois.
II he did not weigh any more than PHIL SHEER
IDAE or NAPOLEON BONA PARTE did when they
were on the earth, he has not friend that
could go lack and find one sentence ne has
ever spoken or one paragraph he has ever
written, that the liYeliest imagination could
construe as powerful.
What has GROVER CLEvELAND's corpo-
real weight to do with the power OF his
expressions! And supposing he was as
light weight physicaily as either of the
notable men named, why should that pre-
vent any friend or enemy from 'goinR
back'' or 'dnding" powerful paragraph Of
CLEvELAND'sl There is certainly nothing
very brilliant or powerful in the paragraph
we have clipped. nor IN the whole article
written for the purpose of belittling great
man.
1t is egregious folly on the part OF
CLEvELAND's foes to try to detract from
his power upon the public mind. His
famous tariff message that helped to bring
him defeat in 'SS. because its truth and
force were not then appreciated, has been
E potent aid to his victory in '92. 1t needs
no "construing' or effort of the magma
ton to make it appear powerful. The PEG
! pie of the country recognize its strength
and have become converted to its doctrine
We need not single out sentences that are
considered powerful in CLEvELAND'f
speeches and messages. They are familiar
to the American public. That he has
direct way of saying things, and that he il
powerful public man, must be admitted
by just and well informed people every
where And that this has no relation u
his avoirdupois need not be argued witt
any sane individual.
People who do not know Mr. CLEvE
LAND, or who knowing him hate him fol
the power he wields, may try to make i
appear that he is only great in his corpor
osity. But they who know aud appreciate
him and are not vicious against him be-
cause of his politics, recognize his grea
strength OF character, the honesty of his
convictions. the independence that he ex
hibits and the forciole manner in which he
expresses his opinions and announces his
policy. 1t is a small mind that canno
perceive his greatness and stin smaller
soul that, angry at his success and his hole
upon the people, makes such senile ant
paltry attacks upon him as are conveyed il
what we have quoted from our contem

A Common Sense huiLng.

The Supreme Court of Montana has just
affirmed decision of the district court
which sends man named WILLIAM SHEERIN
to the penitentisry for attempt to kill one
ANTHONY LAvAN. That is not particularly
important in itself, but IN reaching its de-
cision the court ruled on the question of
the competency of juror, who had read in
the newspapers statements about the case
and formed opinions on what he had read.
1t appears that when the case first came
to trial, counsel for the defendant chal-
lenged 8 juror as disqualified to serve, be-
cause he had formed and expressed an
opinion on the merits of the case The
challenge was overruled, an exception was
taken. and hence the appeal, in which some
other objections were also urged which do
not affect this point
When questioned by the lower court the
Juror had stated that Notwithstanding
what he had heard and read about the case
he thought he could render verdict &C.
cording to the law and the evidence. He
had formed an opinion from what he had
learned, but he did not know the defendant
nor have any bias, and he could fairly and
impartially sit upon the case.
The Supreme Court, in sustaining the de-
cision of the lower court acted in conso-
nance with the statutes of the state bear
ing on this question, and it would be in
accord with common sense if the laws Of
other states were susceptible Of similar
construction. The idea that juror, to be
qualified to sit on case, must be in abso-
lutte ignorance concerning it. though it may
have been common topic OF conversation
among people posted as to current events,
is one of the most absurd Of the
relics of past Jurisprudence.
II we are to have intelligent juries, com
posed OF citizens capable Of forming an

Prosnrots of the lerrirnriss.

There was rumor afioat week or two
ago to the effect that the Republicans
would take up the question of admitting
the remaining Territories, in order to
make political capital and if possible Sc
cure some of them for their party Promin-
ent Republicans seem TO favor the idea.
and it was hinted that they would go
ahead Of the Democrats in the formation
of two or three new states.
The latest news puts quietus on the re-
port. The Repu blicans see very little
prospect of any political profits out of
making either New Mexico, Arizona or
Utah state. When they take any step OF
that kind it is usually with a view of
strengthening the Republican party more
than for The benefit OF the territory or the
nation. So it is understood they will
hinder rather than promote every attempt
at such legislation during the present Con
gress.
So far as Utah is concerned there will be
little or no disappointment She can afford
to wait while longer. Her people have
become used TO waiting. They ought not
to expect anything of party that has been
steadily against them from its BIRTH If
the two Houses of Congress prove to be
Democratic by the opening OF a new session,
the remaining territories that have sufi-
Gent population and resources will be
started on the way to statehood with little
delay.
Utah has been making no special stir in
that direction. But the Democratic party in
this territory stands pledged in favor Of
Utah's independence at the earliest pract-
cable date. And the national party is also
pledged TO admit all the territories having
the qualifications named above. So we
may reasonably expect something definite
to be done as sooa IS possible after the as
sembling Of the F'ifty-third Congress.
There is bare possibility of the admis
sion of New Mexico before the present
Congress adiourns, and the only thing that
stands in her way is the assurance that she
would be Democratic state. Even with
that obstacle there are enough Republican
senators of more liberal calibre than the
majority, to join with the Democrats for
the admission OF New Mexico, if the strst-
egic tactics of their party do not prevent
the question coming TO vote.
Altogether the prospectus of the terrific
ries are not bright for immediate emanci-
patton, but the outlook ahead is luminous,
and the assurance of coming sovereignty
is borne upon the breeze and felt in the
inner consciousness of the people.

SENATOR MILLS is quoted as saying
1.-THE Democrats in the next Congress will
undoubtedly pass low tariff bill on the
revenue basis. There must be free raw
materials. The tax must be placed upon
the manufactured articles. The consumer
will then have but one tax to pay, and, as
that will be a low one, goods viii be
cheaper, production in this country will be
increased, there will be plenty of work for
the lsnoring men and a much higher price
for our agricultural products will be ob
tainable by reason of the demand which
viii arise for them to export in payment
for the manufactured goods that we obtain
from abroad. This has been the case under
our previous low tariffs"
