The trouble over the Selec-
ton of a jury to try native
cases here looks as though it
might be growing serious to
the fellows whose names grace
| the calendar. AS the cOnsti-
tuition does not provide that
natives shall be tried by Ha-
waiians, though it isa custom,
and citizens of that rationale
ty cannot be procured if a
remedy is needed it may be
found only in an act to be
passed by the present Advisory
Council.
In some parts of the United
States, New York for instance,
to be eligible to jury duty, a
man "must be a citizen of the
United States, a resident of
the district in which he is
called and be the owner either
in his or his wife's name, of
two hundred and fifty dollars
worth of real or personal
property" Citizens are Great
ed by law and natives do not
become citizens until the
statutes make them such. In
this instance the taking of the
oath to support the present
government is all that is
necessary. This seems to de-
eide the question whether
change in the form of govern
ment nullifes the citizenship
of the people" To become a
citizen now, one must be
politically born again and the
result of last Mondays mid
wifery was that all but three
of the panel died "a bornin."
The only relief for this state
of affairs seems to be in
amending the constitution;
men do not become criminals
until they are convicted of the
charges on which they are
tired and until such convic-
ton they are entitled to
certain rights. If they are
not tried within a certain
time they have a good strong
kick which must be TecOp-
nized by the court. We
cannot see where the taking
Of the required oath to support |
the government is a guarantee |
that the verdict rendered will |
be according to the law and
the evidence, the result the
court and attornies should |
strive to obtain. The judi
ciary being considered above
politics it must not be sup
posed that the court would be
a party to increasing the num-
Der of supporters of the
government by any such pecu-
liar methods.
If you can get an article
that will do all and more than
another will at the same price,
it seems reasonable to decide
that the more versatile is the
one to be used. The I'D. & d."

THE GREAT WORLD OF THE POOR

By those unacqua1nted with the
poor it is understood that there are
as many different classes and grades
among them as among the rich.
Those who live with and study the
multitudes have learned that they
also have their feelings and pre-
JUDGES, and ideas of caste, that
make them live in SO many little
circles in the great underworld of
poverty and misfortune. There are,
for instance, the respectable honest
poor, who work when they can, and
through hard toll and thrift manage
to keep their self-respect, and to
surprising extent fight the wolf from
the door except in the hardest sea-
sons, when many of them would
rather starve than beg. Then we
find class made up of the most un-
fortunate, who are constantly feeling
the pinch of dire distress, who work
occasionally, and whose homes be-
come one or two rooms in d tene-
ment of the poorest character, from
which they constantly have to go
for shelter into the many low lodg;
ing houses. By day they wander
the streets, during their non-work-
ing hours. Again there is the lower
class that knows no home, the
members of which herd together in
the greatest squalor, and live the
hand to-mouth existence of a hope
less drifting life, where work is not
sought, finding the means OF a drunk
en- subsistence from illegal sources.
Another class is madeup of CRIMINALS,
who exist entirely through their
crimes, and make very much less
precarious living than the aforemeu-
toned classes living on their wits"

A SKUNK Fla RIM.

Should any New England farmer be
looking for new industry to enable
him to earn an honest dollar, he may
get hint from the following -
Last year John Eckman of Law
renee County, Penn. killed couple
of skunks and sold their hides for So
each He concluded that at that rate
it would be profitable business to
raise the animals for their hides. He
built an enclosure of two acres, ar
ranging it so that the animals could
not burrow under the walls, and
trapped thirty skunks to stock it.
He now has $50, and expects next
year to have 5000. The skunk breeds
twice in the year and produces from
seven to nine at a litter, so the rate
OF increase is very rapid, but the in
crease is kept down by habit the
animals have of killing the first
litter when the second one is horn.
Mr.. Eckman feeds the animals with
offal from the slaughterhouse, refuse
meat and milk. He says his pets are
very tame and inofensive and never
emit that characteristic odor save
when fighting. He thinks that his
skunk fan m will soon make him indie
pendently rich.

one morning with a young man
whose appearance was Enthusiastically

slow, rather satirical, drawl which

FOOD SHORT.
Meat Played Out Already Except the
 Local Supply-Other Articles Falling Short.

The greatest railroad strike in the history of the world, which is now in progress and assuming hourly more gigantic propor- tious, is not only affecting cities in which roads are almost completely blockaded, but ii is affecting the city of Birmingham.
 The food supply for the past few days has been greatly diminished and today the local supply is something alarm ing. The supply of flour and corn meal is small, but few shipments are being re- ceived from cities nearby; however, there is only enough in the city to last but few days, provided shipments are absolutely cut off.
 The beef supply is nearly exhausted and there is not a pound 10 be had except from local packers aud butchers.
 At o'clock yesterday afternoon packing houses that are supplied from Chicago and Kansas City were simply cleaned of every pound of bee, f and today they have no prospects of receiving any shipments for fully five or six days after the blockades on the roads are broken.
 Yesterday afternoon an AGE HERALD reporter visited a number of wholesale houses, and they report the food supply 10 be fast diminishing, although there is enough on hand to feed the town for sev- eral days. As to shipments of groceries, everything in that line is retarded, and from St. Louis nothing can be gotten. Or ders are out, but they are receiving com parative!y nothing.
 A visit 10 the Armour and Swift packing houses found their supply of dressed beef completely exhausted. They have nothing, and prospect of getting anything until after the railroad blockades are broken.
 In conversation with an AGE-HFRALD reporter the Armour Packing company manager said
 'We haven'ta piece of beef in the house, and where we will get any is hard to tell. l haven't had shipment in for two days, but have orders out for several cars.' '
 Swift & Co. are in the same fix. They said: "We have few cases of lard and some hams, but that is about all. If the roads were opened up tomorrow ten chances to one 1 couldn't get shipment for at least four days from Kansas City,
 ''When do you expect shipment?''
 "That am unable to say. One thing is certain, and that is that we will not get any dressed beef until this strike is over, and possibly several days after"
 All the importing houses are in the same boat. Thus it will be seen that the food supply is getting short and that little is coming in. But there is one thing fortu- enough food can be obtained from the inn mediate surrounding country to keep her supplied with something to eat, although it Will be by a scratch. In view of the shortness of this supply of food, bread- stuffs have gone up considerably during the past twenty four hours. The rise in the price of all food articles, including beef, will stimulate the country people to bring in their vegeta bles, fowls and cattle, and ihere Is no danger of any actual suf- feriUg,

 For many years Dr. Sanford has been an invalid, on which account his presence has not been known to the public; but as long as he was able to be heard through the ginus and political literature of the county, and was regarded as very able and pro- found writer.

So pleased were the trustees at his effort that Judge Longstreet called meeting of the board and elected hm professor of belles Iettres, which he declined.
