THE EXPECTED HAPPENS.

The jury in the Heath case continued
their disagreement through an eighty
One-hour session and was discharged. 1t
is reported that two jurors stood out for
acquittal, the ten being convinced of
Heath's guilt, Admitting that the twelve
Jurors were honest the conclusion OF the
public will be that the rank perjury which
was so conspicuous in the trial confused
che jurors. They did not know which
witness to believe. No sooner was one
story told than it was combated by testi-
mony equally credible. For most OF this
perjury it is assumed that the attorneys in
the case are responsible. They seem to
have acted on the principle that the end
justified the means. Probably one set of
attorneys believed Heath guilty, while the
other have convinced themselves that he
was innocent. Thus believing, each set
to work TO convert the jury to their own
belief. But the means used is subversive
of all Justice. A trial is farce if attor-
neys may reach out in every direction and
procure witnesses to prove what they want
70 prove. The proposition to 80 change
the law governing murder trials that three
fourths may convict will tend to discour-
age this sort of practice. When lawyer
has to secure four votes out of twelve to
prevent verdict Of guilty the difficulty Of
manufacturing sufficient evidence to de-
feat the ends of justice will be consider
ably increased.

HALF MEASURES.

There is movement 10 New York to
head off the noD-pa-tisan basis for munich
pal government. which requires each mem-
Der of the proposed new organization to
declare in writing that:
He accepts it as the true and settled doctrine
OF the Democratic party that il is the duty of
It's members IN any community In municipal
affairs first and completely to serve the inter
esis OF the community, and to that end II any
political organization. whether or not bearing
the Democratic name, shall nominate plainly
unit candidates. or by other methods clearly
betTay the interests of he community, then TO
agltate and vole against such candidates and
openly oppose such methods, even If such
course Involve the support for Office Of cand-
dates OF another political faith
A conspicuously bad nomination might
occasionally be defeated in this way; but,
except when unftness was notorious. the
voters of each party would give the candi-
dates of their party the benefit Of the
doubt. AS a rule there Is no great differ
euce between the personnel of two party
tickets. Some pretty good men are usually
| nominated by both parties. The ablest of
partisan bosses recognize the necessity Of
an occasional concession to the public de-
mand for decent ticket. But certainly
no one in New York. where the Democratic
majority is two to one, would expect to
defeat Democratic municipal candidate
under such a pledge as is given above.
Plainly unfit candidates at every election
receive the bulk of the party vote. Ii the
movement to absolve party men from an
obligation to vote for plainly unfit candi-
dates should draw within It's H. ifluence
every Democratic voter in the city, no
nominee would be so plainly unfit as to
lose more than 10 per cent of the party
vote. There is no reason why the national
political machine should be employed in
municipal elections. Every city has local
issues upon which opposing tickets may
be nominated. So long as municipal tick
cts are called Republican. Democratic or
Populist they will be voted mainly by
members of the national parties bearing
those names. When national party names
and national party cations are dis
carded candidates for municipal Offices
will be selected with view to local policies
to be followed and local duties to be per-
formed. Then will begin genuine and
wholesome home rule.

THE BURDEN OF DEBT.

In an interview with ''Gath." published
In the Cincinnati Enquirer. Senator Briee
is reported as saying:
There are fifteen thousand millions OF indsbt-
edness upon farms and city lots and other prop
erty. half that in corporation Indebtedness. and
only one metal instead Of two to pay 10. There
fore say silver will be the alternative OF the
disappointed and indebted. We shall find that
fiscal legislation will supersede the tariff.
Twenty-Five thousand and four hundred
millions is about one-third of the total
property valuation of the United States
as returned by the census Of 1890. The
effect of the substitution of the single
standard Of gold for the double standard
of gold and silver is to increase the pur-
chasing power of the money with which
this enormous indebtedBess must be paid.
The precise percentage Of increase to be
attributed TO the demone tization OF silver
cannot De determined. as other causes co m
bine with the single standard to reduce
prices. But if we put the rate OF increase
at 10 per cent, il will appear that the gold
policy will add S2.25O. 100000 to the value
of the debts due the money-lendlng class.

accident. She was Az years old, and her
pecuniary value to her family could not
be reckoned in money. Yet the Judge
awarded to her mother $1,000 damages for
her loss. This must have been partly as
punitive damages against the steamship
company and partly as balm OF consola-
ton 10 bereaved mother. The award
seems to be jast. In cases OF breach Oh
promise the jury is allowed to set money
value on lacerated affections. and, py
parity of reasoning. a mothers grief may
also be measured in dollars, revolving as
the idea seems.
1t is only by the fear of damage suits
that transportation companies can be
made to consider their duties to the public
Ii there were no court in which they could
be reached through their pocket, they
would never give thought to the safety
of the passengers whom they carry. And
as corporation has no person which can
be imprisoned or hanged, they must be
held to their duty by fines and damages.
Therefore. there must be some tariff for
injuries to life and limb. If Judge Nor
rows ruling proves a precedent, the law
on the subject will be clear hereafter.
Ascertain from the tables OF life insurance
now many years a man who is killed in an
accident would have been likely to live !;
multiply this by such proportion of his
gross income as may be considered reason
able. or as he might have saved by fru-
gality; the product is the measure of DAM
ages for which the offending corporation
will be liable.
