The Southwestern StoclSman editori> ally refers to complication arising by reason of Q ruling recently made re- quiring all cattle brought over the line from Mexico tc be inspected. The country or both sides of the Sonora line is vast cattle range and the cattle wander back and forth at will Amer iean cattle which stray below the line, in order to be returned, must pass in- spection. Rodeos are now going on and our cattlemen cannot return their animals to their range, not alone en- tailing great deal of useless labor but severe loss if the matter cannot be promptly adjusted. The most promi- neat cattlemen at once set abont to get this blunder strengthened out by ad- dressing the Acting Secretary of Agri- culture, and on Tuesday Territorial Veterinarian Norton was in Tucson, and with Governor Hughes, wired the secretary at length, and it is believed matters will soon be arranged that cat tlenen can go on with rounding upand branding as before,

cRiME. AND THE JURY SYSTEM.

The numerous accounts of hold-ups, of ttro incentiiary's torch, and tho am- plitude of the burglars key; is ihdica- tive that the world is sadly out of joint, and that the moral element is unable to set it right And now people say, "let hs have more law to correct the evil, !" without thought that tho remedy is with those who administer 1t; and so long as perjury in our courts is un- whipped of justice, we will never be enabled to curb the tendencies that are Causing us to despair of better times And thus it is, one degree of tempta- ton will follow another until the low ering clouds Of despair eneircle the moral world.
 Phe eounterpoise to the evils com plained of is supposed to exist in our juries, and the number twelve is found- Cd in one of those curious superstitions which, during the middle ages, were all powerful in determining the actions and motives of men Twelve were chosen, dating, probably from the lime of Alfred the Great, A. D., S7l, because there we're twelve Apostles and as the witnesses to the life, death and resurrection of the Savior were twelve, no greater number should be required Twelve, therefore, became sort of sacred number, as seven was among the Jews and some other orien- tai nations, or as three also was among the people of almost every part of Eu4 rope during mediveal times,
 n ancient times the number of jury men trying a case was very much great CT. In Greece several historical trials have taken place before as many as 400 jurors. In Rome the number varied and 1t is recorded that in one suit Cice- 70 pleaded before Q single iudex, or juror In Britain under the Romans, and in a modified form after the Saxon conquest, the eompurgarion usage pre- vailed, by which the accused was per mitted to appeal to his friends who at tended the trial ip force, according to the accused's prominence, aud oft-times armed to the teeth, and decided the question of the defendants guilt or in- nocence. It was then only a question of who was the stronger, the accuser or accused
 In Spain, Portugal, Italy, Mexico and some other countries trial by jury is often 8 trayesty on justice and even in our own country, and notably in Arizona, its abuses are many, which gives weight to the suggestion that it might be well to adopt the Scotch law, providing that verdict by three- fourths of 8 jury is sufficient to convict.

Trade journals report Q marked re- vival of business throughout the East ern States, and predict continued im- proyement until manufactures and commerce recover their normal activity and volume While the daily press persist in aseribing every indication of business activity or continued depress- ion IT certain industries to the effect of the new tariff law, according to their partisan bias, the fact is that the busi- ness improvement is natural and inev- itaole. Whatever may be the effects of the tariff Aw--and 1t is certainly far from being an ideal measure-tr trade will of necessity adjust itself to the law's requirements, and reaction from the late profound depression must come, as certain as day follows night. The conviction among buslness men and capitalists that there will be no further tariff legislation Is an import ant factor in trade revival. The un certainty in which the business world was kept ever since the change of ad- ministration at Washington, and espe- eially during the year in which Con- gress was tlnkering with the tariff, did more damage to business in general than can result from any changes made in the tariff, All that business asks is to be let alone.
