rhe Duty of a Juror.

While there ought not to be, among
thoughtful persons, disposition to re-
joice at a tragedy such as that which,
having sent one innocent human being
to death, afterward wishes to exact
the life of her assassin, it Is gratifying
to us to observe that the public gener-
ally has correctly estimated the true
significance of the Beck verdict. 1t
cannot be too constantly reiterated
that sentimental objection to capital
punishment is utterly out of place in
jury rooms where men are called to
pass upon, not law, but fact. 1t may
be utterly barbarous to condition the
punishment for deliberate murder upon
the principle Of "a life for a life" 1t
may be conspicuosly disgraceful for
civilized communities, in the light of
modern progress along humane lines,
to observe no different code of legal
atonement than was eXacted in the
very dawn of uncivilized history. All
these things may be true, and may be
believed by the Lackawanna county
juror with an intensity proof against
all argument.
At the same time, his individual bias
upon this subject should not be per-
mitted to mislead his sober estimate
of the adduced evidence in a murder
case. With the poetry of assassination
and the spirituality of the red-handed
assassin he has, as juror, nought to
do. His single province Is to pass upon
common fact, and reach conclusion
as to the prisoners innocence or guilt.
If the conclusion in any case be that
there is unmistakable guilt, ii Is the
Jurors sworn duty to declare accord
ingly, although a later consequence Of
such declaration were to be the SEN
fencing of the accused to be hanged,
drawn and quartered. The lawmakers
Of the land are responsible, and solely
responsible, for the form of the pun
ishment. 1t is no part of any jurors
business, as a juror, to criticize the law
as 1t Is laid down to him, nor to antici-
pate the laws action in case certain
pronouncement by him may bring a
prisoner within reach of such action.
For seventeen years the jurors Of

Trouble Enough.

A recent reminiscence related by
Mayor Connell to our versatile friend,
p. A. Barrett, carries with it a strik-
ingly suggestive moral: II was in
Boston a few months ago at the time
there was slight cavern over in Belle
Wue," said the mayor, "and saw on the
newspaper bulletin board there, in
glaring letters, that Scranton, Pa, was
sinking into the earth and thousands Of
lives and millions of property were in
over this, and while was sitting in the
hotel leisurely reading the weird tale, a
friend of mine who had met me the
night before, ran breathlessly up to me,
and asked me for Gods sake to hurry
home, that my family and the people Of
the town had dropped into the mines.

THE MOUNTAIN VOICE.

All sadly through the stern ravine
There rode a horseman brave;
"Ah! draw near to my darling's arms,
Or near to the gloomy graveY'
The echo answer gave:
To the gloomy grave"
And as the horseman rode
A deep sigh heaved his breast:
IF thus early to the grave.
Well-in the grave is rest"
The answering voice confessed:
in the grave is rest
Slowly adown the riders cheek
A tear of sad thought fell:
"If but in the grave there is rest for me,
For me in the grave tbs we'll"
Whereto the echoing knell:
I'm the grave tits we'll"

Elm Park Church Anniversary.

We venture to say that there is no.
where in the city. be he Protestant,
Catholic, Jew, Mohammedan, agnostic
or ATHEIST, man who does not honestly
rejoice in the happy circumstance
which, after two baptisms by fire, has
enabled worshippers at the Elm Park
church this week to commemorate the
first anniversary of their handsome new
structures completion and dedication
to the purposes of religion. If there IS
such man. he does well to keep under
cover; for the sight of him would be
a sorry token of the effectiveness Of
civilization under its present close al
lance with the modern church.
Only little more than twelve months
ago, what is now the best-designed
church building in Pennsylvania was a
mass of charred ruins-the second mass
of ruins which, within few weeks, had
occupied the church's site and occa-
stoned, despite all argument, hushed
mutterings of evil portent. Today, not

been achieved years great growth
in grace, in charity and in liberal and
enlightened Christian fellowship, typi-
fled to those on the outside in hundreds
of benefcent acts and agencies that
have helped decidedly to carry this
community across the trial of serious
panic. Even the building, beautiful as
1t is, is of slight importance in COM
parlson with the grand work that has
been done in it, and of which it becomes
merely the happy symbol,
1t may not be inopportune to renew
attention to the circumstance that
while our thriving city is building a
business broader and more substantial
with each passing year. it is also quite
as steadily adding to its other wealth
in new churches, new schools, new IL
braries and new hospitals. To what
single influence are we most indebted
for the impetus which pushes forward
this intellectual and moral growth
What agency would, if suddenly sub
stracted, most cripple these later ac-
tivities of our municipal expansion by
which a community's true wealth
is alone calculated? This is a
thought which we deem it appropriate
to call up in this week of pleasant
church anniversary services. With this
thought recommended to each readers
attention, we wish our Elm Park church
friends many happy returns of the day.

The day has come when the Turkish
empire should be sponged out of exist
ence, and the world cleansed from one of
the foulest organizations that ever stained
1t. The dominion of the Turk has been

1t is refreshing to note that the Scranton
