a FAILURE OF JUSTICE.

The curse Of g majority Of our courts
is the professional juror. He either
hangs about waiting to be employed for
d pittance when talesmen have to be se-
cured or he worms himself into the jury
box in some way to sit with the other
eleven good men and true. Often it oc-
ours that man is In the secret employ
of some corporation and 1T is astonishing
to find how often he acts as juryman.
Nobody seems to know how he serves
his country IN that capacity so frequently.
During the week a case has besn con-
Guided in Judge Jamison's court, which
had been on trial for seven days. It was
an action brought by Michael r. Leon
ard, through his attorneys, William Ken
nedy and Frank Fl. Morrill,, against the
Minneapolis Street Railway Company for
$11, 350 for personal injuries and the de-
struction Of wagon sustained by the
companys cars. The evidence, 1t is
stated, was 50 clear that no doubt should
have been left in the mind Of any Juror as
to the liability of the company. The
jury was out two days and during all that
time the members OF 1t stood practically
II to in favor Of a verdict of $4,000 al
though some were In favor Of granting,
$4,000. One William r. Perkins, of Shin
gle Greek, stubbornly resisted the other
eleven. When they finally came into
court reporting that there was no hope Of
their agreeing Judge Smith called Per-
kins to him, telling him he was discharged
for him. It is alleged that the judge
had heard there was one professional
Juror on the panel and from that cause
two days were consumed in elaboration
without a verdict having been reached.
It is said Perkins felt the sting Of the
judges remarks and says he had not
served in that capacity since last spring.
It may be that Perkins was entirely
honest in holding out for the company,
but 1t is said that on two former occa-
sions the company got the benefit Of his
doubt. He may not be a good Judge Of
evidence but may be thoroughly well up
in contributory negligence, but from
whatever cause he seems TO be inclined to-
think that street car corporation, like
king, can do no wrong.
y It should be said, however, that two
boys, or very young men, finally voted
with Perkins after holding out against
him till the last hour, they afterwards
explaining that they were convinced that
the plaintiff was entitled to verdict. but
as they were neighbors Of Perkins they
were afraid to offend the latter.
That is one sample of justice.

HAVEN'T GIVEN UP. h

The English people have awakened.
Dunrayen, the winning boy did not seem
to meet their expectations. The follow
ing challenge now comes from London,
In behalf Of the Royal Victoria Yacht
Club, and In the name Of G. D. Rose, q
member, the. challenge to sail a series Of
matches for the Americas cup against
any yacht or vessel built in the United
States. The following are the particu-
lars. Challenger's owner, c, d. Rose;
name of yacht, The Distant Shore; length
at load water line, 50 feet; rig, cutter.
1.-THE challenge will be absolutely sun-
conditional. =
This was shown to ex-Commodore
James d. Smith, chairman of the Arneri-
cas- cup committee, and he said:
"This is indeed a very sportsmanlike
challenge, and I am very glad to hear it.
OF course our committee has nothing to
do with it, but when the direct challenge
arrives l have no doubt that a special
meeting of the New York Yacht Club will
be called and a new cup committee APP
pointed. In his preliminary cable Mr..
Rose said that he begged to challenge for
the Americas cup next year, the race to
be sailed on conditions satisfactory to the
cup committee. In the cablegran that
you have just shown me Mr.. Rose bears
out his previous cablegram and leaves
the conditions absolutely in the hands
Of any committee that may be appointed.
Whether i shall be a member Of that
committee or not / can now say positive
ly that the very fairest conditions will be
adapted. This is good news, indeed, for
American yachtmen, and in my opinion
1t will not be necessary for us to build an
other cup defender in order to beat the
Distant Shore"
Supplementary to this the New York
Yacht Club replied to the communications
from the Royal Victoria Yacht Club and
asking for match for the Americas cup
next year.
Then kilograms followed. From New
York to London there were these:
Gable announcing challenge series Of
matches for Americas cup, 1896, receiv-
ed. Consider same formal. Will be
acted upon at special meeting Of club to
be called on receipt of your letter.
This was signed by Addie, secretary Of
the New York Yachting Club, and was
followed by this: Eli.
beg to announce the receipt of a cable
to the club from the Royal Victoria in
your. behalf for series Of matches for
Am erica 8 cup in 1896. The same is
considered "a formal challenge and will be
acted upon at a special meeting of the
club to be called on receipt of a letter
from Thelluson.
The war is on. On this side Of the
Atlantic the people had begun to think
that the huff Of Dunraven was continue
Gus in its motives, but it would appear
that the huffy gentleman only represent
ed himself.
The cup will remain in America.

Al SKETCH OF 81 1NlET.

5s sSs Thursday Oh this week was theaannl-s
sVersary Of the sxecntio OF Robert EN-
met, and the Canadian Freeman pays
TO his memory this tender tribute
3 as There is no name in the annals Of Irish
patriotism which has been made the
theme OF such tender and touching pane
gyric: There is;gonle thing so especially
sad III the TRACED " Of Emmett s martyr
dom thatsit has appealed to the sympa-
thies of Hose who have nothing in COM
mon with the Irish people or their cause.
In his character there was such q rare
combination of admirable qualities, and
in his history are so many elements of
romance,.as to irnpart to his name pc
culiar claim to our synpathies. He had
youth, talent, social position, 8, fair share
Of fortune, and bright prospects for his
future when he embarked In a cause
which had only a few years before been
sunk in defeat and ruin. Courage, gen
3ius and enthusiasm were his. He was
an orator and q poet, a lover. and OF his
life-story it has been we'll said that
there's not a line but hath been wept.
upon Robert Enmet was born on the
4th of March, '1778, of a well known and
highly respectable family, In Trinity
College he was the classmate Of several
of the patriotic spirits who figured in the
revolutionary movements Of their day,
and he shared with them the noble aspiI-
alton to, see their native land enjoying
complete independence. His speech in
the dock when called upon to say why
the sentence Of death should not be pro
nounced against him will be quoted as
one Of the most thrilling specimens OF
impassioned eloquence in the language.
The sorrow Of his heart broken af1anced,
Sarah Cnryau, will draw tears of sympa-
thy from melting eyes SO long as the gen.
tier feelings of humanity find resting
place in the human heart. His execu-
ton took place on the 18th Of September,
1903. Only a few hours were given him
to withdraw his thoughts from this
world, and he was hurried away at mid
night from Newgate to Kilmainham jail.
Hardly had the prisoner been driven
through when the workmen set to erect
ing the gibbet from which he was to he
executed. The hour fixed was about
midday. He mounted the scaffold with
a firm step and the same composed de-
meanor which he displayed in the court
room on the day of his sentence. An
other moment and he was dangling a
corpse from the scaffold. But vengeance
was not yet satisfied. While the body
was yet warm it was cut down from the
gibbet, the neck placed across block on
the scaffold, and the head severed from
the body Then the executioner held 1t
up before the horrified and sorrowing
crowd 4thatsstood outside the line of sol
diery and shouted: This is the head
of a traitor!'' He was no traitor. but a
martyr for Ireland; and as the blood Of
the martyrs of old proved the seed Of the
church, SO will the blood OF Robert En-
met be to Irishmen not a terror but an
inspiration to Irish patriotism and
sanctiication Of the cause for which he
offered up his life.

NEW YORK I DE locR Ac:Y' n

The New York Democratic state com
yention was held this week at Syracuse
and nominated as secretary Of state, Ho-
ratio G. King; Attorney general, Norton
Chase; state treasurer, Dewitt G. Dow;
comptroller, ]. B. Judson, associate judge
!. Of court Of appeals, John B. Teller; state
en- gineer, Russell r. Stuart. 5 i " 45 V,
There was lively tilt for supremacy
between Tammany and the state Democ-
racy. M
The following are the principal feat
ures Of the platform adopted: .5.
Home Rule--The first essential condi-
ton Of good municipal government; local
jurisdiction and control over purely To-
cal affairs; no legislative meddling.
Honesty in public office; no tainted leg
islatures; no corrupt traffic in legislation:
clean men and free agents; mo hypocrites.
Equal and honest enforcement of all
the laws, proper observance Of q day Of
rest and an orderly Sunday; modification
or. repeal OF laws unsupported by. public
opinions; no unjust sumptuary laws, no
blue laws; recognition of the fundament-
al American principle Of freedom 81 con-
science; home rule In excise as we'll as in
other matters within reasonable limita-
tons and an amendment Of the xcise and
other laws by the legislature Of the state
which shall permit each municipality
expressing its sentiments by a popular
vote of a majority Of its citizens to de-
termine within which proper legislative
restrictions as shall be required by the
interests of the entire state what may
best suit its special necessities and con-
ditions
The attempts Of prominent Republican
politicians in the large cities of the state
to repudiate their own platform are re-
newed evidence Of their hypocrisy and
dishonesty on the excise question and Of
their desire to deceive the people.
Equal taxation; no unjust discrimina-
ton; no favored interests; no partial leg
islation.
Individual liberty, the right of all cit
liens to equal opportunities before the
law; equal and exact Justice to all men.
+. Federal taxation for revenue only; no
government partnership with protected
monopolies; no meddling with the pres
nt:reformed tariff. to the injury and un-
setting of business and industries.
Sound money, gold and silver, the only
legal tender currency; 10 currency; in
convertible with coin; gradual retire
ment and extinction Of the greenback
currency; no free and unlimited coinage
of silver.
No entangling alliance with foreign
nations; the vigorous enforcement Of the
Monroe doctrine; no jingoism.
We reafirm the Democratic national
platform Of 1892 and congratulate the
people that Democratic legislation and
Democratic administration have success
fully brought the country out Of the dis
astrous financial and industrial condition
into which it was plunged by the ill-con-
ceived acts Of the Republican party. We
indorse the administration of President
Cleveland.
The Republican party in the state was
soundly scored for it's corruption, ex-
travagance and general Acknowledgement.

WHAT THE JEsUlTs ARE DOING

Regarding the work which the Jesuits
are doing In the Lower sCanadians pro-
vinces the Montreal Daily Witness, a
protestant paper, has this to say regard
ing new observatory about to- be erect
ed by that order:
The Jesuit Fathers of Montreal have
always been noted for their progressive
and enterprising spirit, and any scheme
undertaken by them has always been
successfully carried out. Their fine
church, with its music, and their col
lege, as recently enlarged and fitted up
with all modern improvements, are In
stances Of their efforts in doing things on
a large and successful scale.
4 The Fathers are now credited with
having decided upon carrying another
grand I. and important scheme, in the
shape Of an observatory to be constructed
over St. Mary's College. The rumor
comes from d trustworthy source, and the
project is said to have reached such a
point that negotiations are already going
on with the architects with view to
carry out the scheme at as early a date
as ossible. ..Ss! n ..sg ' !:
\ IT. is the intention TO make the pro
posed observatory second to none on the
continent. !, Foundations are to be placed
at great depth in order tosavoid all pos
sfble vibrations, and the observatory
proper will rise to g conside rable height
In the center OF the bull ding, ct the place
now occupied BY the. dome, and will be by
Tar the highest point In and around the
city. The. structure will combine ele-
gance and stolidity, and all the most re-
cent and most improved scientific ap-
paratus will be used ii the. different
stories and depart ents for meteorologi-
cal. astrologic cal and other observations.
Special accommoda tions will also be
provided for visitors, who can obtain

dORMAN ON DEMOCRACY.

A few weeks ago Senator German was
said to have been killed in Maryland and
for a dead man he is very much in evil
dence. The country is familiar with Cor
mans attitude upon the tariff but here is
what he has to say upon the subject and
other matters, in a recent speech deliv
cred in that state:. .tAfler one of the most
remarkable parliamentary struggles in
the history of our government, we re-
pealed the Mckinley law and placed in
it's stead Democratic measure which has
reduced taxation to the actual require
ments of the government. Your party
enacted a just law which eliminates the
favoritism of the Mckinley law and
sens the burdens on the majority of the
people. Your party enacted a wise law,
which made possible the quick revival Of
business SO sadly needed and uni-
versally desired. Your party enacted the
most logical, the most far and what has
proved to be the most just tariff legisla--s
ton enacted, as our state platform says,
in the past SO years. Under that law
more laboring men and more mechanics
have had their wages raised than ever
before in the history Of the country and
when business has resumed Its normal
condition the new taritfslaw Will produce
revenues enough to support the govern
ment economically administered. ,5
/, Legislation affecting duties is more
>fraughts with danger TOT the industries,
more certain TO affect in one way or an
other the well being Of the majority Of
our citizens than all other legislation
combined. Extreme caution was abso-
lutelya necessary The depression In
business had to be taken into considera-s
ton. & But, above all. the bill had to be
so framed as to furnish revenue enough to-
support the government. "a revenue tar:
