EXPLORATIONS NEAR BABYLON
The human race is nearly ten centuries
older than science had knowledge of
before, as result of extensive explora-
tions of the ruins of Niffer, near anclent
Babylon, as described in report to the
State Department by Minister Terrell,
ut Constantinople. These explorations
are being made at the expense of Phil
adelpbians, and D Peterson and Prof.
Hilpricht Of the University of Penn
svlvania. have supervised the work:
Many tons of tablets, vases, inscribed
brick sarcc phagi and the like have been
exhumed, the sensual and revolving
worship of the god Bel is more clearly
known, his colossal temple, with its
one hundred and eighty rooms, has
been exposed, and the religion, govern
ment and customs of men who lived
1000 years before Christ have been re-
vealed by the translated inscriptions.
Minister Terrell says that it will require
sixty volumes to contain the descriptions
of these discoveries.

UNSATISFACTORY JURY SYSTEM.

The tenacity with which we cling to
systems and institutions for the simple
reason that they are "time- honored"
has no better exemplifcation than is
furnished by the jury system. Not
week passes that the country is not
treated to one or more practical illus
trations Of its oostliness, unreason-
ableness and general unsatisfactory
uess
In the Coughlin case. for instance,
days we're consumed in finding men
who could be presumed ignorant
enough to pass on the question of the
guilt or innocence of the accused per-
son. The murder for the commission
of which the accused was on trial, was
one Of the most startling events Of the
time in which it occurred. 1t was
only among the uuintelligent and
stupid that the case was unheeded.
Common sense would cay that If the
opinions OF twelve men can possibly
settle the question Of mans guilt or
innocence in the matter they should be
opinions of intelligent men-men fam
liar with current events AMI capable of
forming intelligent opinions concern
ing them
The jury system says no. Its theory
is that only men whose opionions on
such matters ara of any value are the
men who do not read the papers, who
know nothing Of current events or
care too little about them to form an
opinion concerning what they hoar.
Common sense says that the intelligent
man Is far more likely to give an in &.
telligent judgment on the same case il
shown that the facts are not as he un-
derstood them to be than the man who
is too dull or stupid TO come to con =
clusion of any kind, The jury system
Ndeclares that the judgment of an ig-
noramus is the better
The jury system is indeed time.hoD
cred There was tims whom it was
bulwark Of our liberties but in that time
there was no such urgent insistence on
ignorance as a qualification for the per-
formance Of jury duty, The things
complained OF now are very largely
abuses engrafted on the original sys-
TEN; but 1t is very much to be feared
that they are so thoroughly incorpor-
ated with the system that they can
only be reformed by abollshing the sys.
TEN itself.

STATUS OF THE BOYCOTT.

The recent decision of Justice Dean
that under the acts Of assembly OF
1869, 1879, 1876 and 1891 workingmen
have acquired legal righ. to uIs that
peculiar weapon known as the "boy-
colt in all cases where it does not take
the form of force, settles a mooted
legal point, if not question of morals.
The judge himself takes pains to as
sumo no responsibility for the acts o.
assembly in point and between the
lines Of his decision, evidently favors
the old common law principle which
regards the boycott, whether Of capital
or labor, as an indictable conspiracy,
But finding the acts valid, he is COM
PEELED to interpret and sustain them,
which he does with incisive force,
The principle of the boycott in any
form or under any auspices is vicious
for this reason, that it forcss the in.
convenience Of commercial chaos not
only upon the immediate parties to q
dispute, but to that much prosecuted
and much abused third party, the
general public. The boycott in any
trade is in many particulars similar to
q tie.up of railways in that it puts the
chief burden, not upon employer OF
upon employe; but upon the mass of
citizens not directly interested. While
tho occasions may be many when boy.
colts seem just weapons OF retaliation,
the person who observes proper re
gard for the interests of society will
have scruples against resorting &c
what acts so Immediately as a public
infliction.
The decision of Justice Dean is a
striking moral indictment of much oI
the state legislation ostensibly passed
in the interests Of labor. 1t shows tha
where labor profits by the legalizstion
of this particular weapon of dispute.
capital as represented by the employers
may profit even more directly. since
the boycott which capital can put upon
labor is more powerful and more last.
ing than, and by these acts equally as
lawful as. any with which labor can
retaliate. The lesson of the opinion is
the need of less class friction; and
above all. the urgent necessity of ar
enlightened and growing public senti
ment calculated eventually to materi
alize in some equitable and etficaCious
machinery of genuine arbitration.
