Is there not reason in the proposition
to make such amendment as may be
necessary to our system to permit the
verdict of a jury to be declared by
three-fourths or two-thirds Of the men,
bers Of the trial panel? What mysti-
cal virtue resides after all in the num-
Der twelve? The belief is by many en-
tertained that twelve was agreed upon
in the jury system because there were
twelve apostles. But this is with equal
force disputed, and it is shown that
among the Normans and Saxons the
equivalent Of the jury was a panel of
four and six; that, on it's introduction
into England, the jury was not always
twelve in number, and that over a
long historical line are proofs that jury
determination was not always by
unanimity. Certainly, there is moth
ing to be advanced to show why justice
would not be as substantially done by
two-thirds Of twelve as by the whole
number Assuredly, such system
would save to our judicial system a
great many retrials, and the people, as
natural consequence, great outlay
Of money.

world, and rise independent of parties
and platforms into the realm of the
unwritten and immutable laws Of trade.
In this exigency the people Of the
United States must once more turn to
the Republican party to save the ma
ton from the hands that would potter
with it to it's undoing. The people must
declare for that conservatism which
will keep the Government upon an even
financial keel; for that wise and dis
eliminating protection that will restore
to labor it's just need of wages, and
give to every hard-earned dollar Its
largest purchasing power.
The issues now before the country
amount to the question whether the
Government itself shall be perpetuated,
or be given over to experimentalists and
fadists, to secret combinations of al
legged social reformers, to the NAL
contents, the envious, the idle and the
vicious, who would find ways to pros
perity without labor, and a path to
common sharing without honest deserv-
ing.
The Republican party alone can save
the nation from falling irretrievably
into the hands of the vain theorists,
the demagogues and revolutionists. Me-
kin1ey and fair protection to Ameri-
can industries; recognition of the laws
of hn Wi led nF
fathers; faith in the institutions Of the
country tried in the fires Of revolution
and rebellion, and through more than
a century Of experience-upon these the
American people must rely for saliva
ton from the cranks. and dreamers, the
demagogues and schemers, the profess
sional reformers and ingrained mall
contents. Upon these, under the foster
ing of the Republican party, the Amer
lean people must now rely to preserve
the integrity of the Union, even now
threatened with disruption by those
who have been unable to inject into it
their financial fancies, assailed by all
manner of fads and isms, assaulted by
secret enemies and menaced by the
theories of misguided and mistaken
friends.
To the Republican party the people OF
the nation must now appeal for the
conservation of the highest interests of
American industry and the restora-
ton of prosperity, content and order and
social and economic stability. The
watchwords of the hour are: Republic
anism, Mckinley; peace and prosperity;
the country of the fathers and the free
and uncrippled institutions Of the
American Republic; protection to in
dustry at home and citizens abroad:
protection to the earnings of skill and
toll; the inauguration of foreign pol
icy that will command for US respect
abroad and pride at home: revival Of
prostrated trade and stagnated in
dustries, and the betterment Of the
standards of American citizenship by
diffusion Of intelligence and such limi-
tation of immigration as will conserve
the best interests and highest pros
perity of all the people.

The City Board Of Education has
wisely resolved to cut down the annual
closing ceremonials of the public
schools to low notch, so that merely
the delivery of the certificates of pro-
motion byand remarks from some mem
Der Of the board in each school shall
suffice. With exercises of patriotic
character in the weeks Of the Fourth Of
July, Decoration Day and Washing
toms Birthday, and with the usual
Christmas and New Year observances,
there is enough Of call upon teachers
and pupils to prepare elaborate pro-
grammes which largely draw the chill
dren from their studies, and impose
upon teachers labors that are extra,
and must rob them of time that should
be devoted to study exercises Of their
classes.

BUREAU OF INFORMATION.

READER.

l. It will not be a leap year. A year
is 365 days 5 hours 48 minutes and
49 7-10 seconds. To include these frac-
tions Caesar decreed that every fourth
year should consist of 366 days. This is
the Julian or old style. 1t is an excess
for each year of II minutes 10 $40 sec
onds In 1882 it was found there had
been an over-reckoning of ten days SO
they reckoned the 9TH of October that
year as the 18th. This still left an over
plus that in 100 years amounts to 1S
hours 81 minutes and 10 seconds. So it
was agreed that every centuriaI year
not divisible by 400 should not be a leap
year. This is the Gregorian or new
style. 2 We suppose it to mean a
rhyme that is so short in it's foot di-
visions, and so frequent in its rhymes.
as to jingle like so to speak as do small
bells. Usually 1t means rhyming lines
that have rhyming words in the line
which there is much repetition of words

TWELVE REASONS
Against Extending the Suffrage to
Women

After the woman suffrage advocates
had presented their case to the Com
mittee ON Platform and Resolutions Of
the late Democratic convention, Dele
gate Putnam of San Francisco gave
twelve reasons which he understood
were advanced in favor of woman suf
frage and answers to them, as follows:
!. No taxation without representa-
tion.
Answer-Taxation is not the principle
of suffrage In the United States, but
manhood suffrage obtains.
z. Suffrage is right.
A.-There is no right as against the
general good Of the community.
3. No lawful government without
consent.
A.-Women do consent.
4. Sex should not be regarded.
A.-Sex is the most important and
permanent fact in the world.
5. Women should be Independent.
A.-Her sex forever makes protection
and dependence necessary.
6. Improvement and publication of
politics would result.
A.-Women would be more rash, rev.
olutionary, less deliberate cool, ra-
tional and responsible in legislation
than men,
Z. Women should, of right, have equal
voice with men in making laws.
Achievement A. rests on force. Men
are physically stronger than women
They are therefore responsible for the
enforcement of the laws. Those who
enforce the laws should make them.
8. Man and woman should become
more fit companions
A.-Domestic disunion would result
3. Woman's duty is just what man 3
is.
A.-Woman's part in the support of
the family is the work of housekeeping,
maternity and child education. Mans
is in provision, protection and all forms
OF aggressive activity, in war, business
and debate.
IO. Woman should have vote.
A man and a woman should to-
gether have one vote, the family being
a unit and the combined qualities of
both being necessary to the casting of
one efficient vote.
IL. 1t is the wonan's duty.
Att would burden woman with an
unfair share Of the worlds work and
superimpose upon her a double share of
duty, mans as well as her own.
II. Power lies in the ballot.
A.-Voting is the least of political du-
ties, and for effective use implies at
tendance and activity in and out of
primary, municipal, State and legisla-
tive conventions and assemblages.

1t is becoming evident that the
women who do not want to be "eman-
cipated" into a pool of contention ana
uncleanlinesS and be invested with
the ballot, and subjected to the duties
inseparable from that investure, pro-
pose to be heard. They are organiz-
ing in many States, and even IN san
Francisco anti-suffrage clubs are being
put into active working order. In
Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylva-
MIA and other parts, strong and out
spoken protests have gone UP from the
women of the home against the as
sumption of the female orators ana
agitators claiming to represent the
women of the nation. There is need
for several such clubs in this State
just now. We know that the 1tln-
Grant petticoated platform spouters
who are going about claiming to speak
for the women of the State, and de-
claring that these women want the
ballot, are not representative OF the
mass Of the good women of Califor-
MIA nor of per cent. of them. 1t is
here as it was recently in Massachu-
setts, where, when the women were
asked to come to the polls and say by
their ballots that they wished to be
invested with the voting privileges, not
quite per cent. Of them manifested
their desire for the ballot There are
$4,000 women in Massachusetts, en-
titled to register, but less than one in
twenty-five availed of the privilege.
Yet they tell us that woman wants the
ballot Who is she? Who has heard
her say so?

AFTER MANY DAYS.
Walter COvell Returns to the City
and Takes His Cruel.

About two months ago a warrant
was issued for the arrest of Walter
Covell on charge of disturbing the
peace of August Gustaffson at Twenti-
eth and 0 streets.
Covell heard of what was in store
for him, and gave leg ball. He did
not return to the city until recently,
when he was arrested, and was yester-
day arraigned in the Police Court,
where he entered a plea of guilty to the
charge.
He was sentenced to serve two
months in the County Jail, but at the
suggestion of the City Attorney that
he be given another chance, Judgment
was suspended pending his good behav-
iOr.

the Christian era. One Of the dis
patches says that in no previous earth
quake in Japan has the trembling Of
the crust Of the earth SO long contin
ued as in this latest instance. But that
is error; in the earthquake of 1892 the
shaking of the earth continued for
more than twenty days, and 1t is ira
Gition that the islands were visited by
a temblor in the far past time which
continued it's manifestations for many
months
The record-union., 1896-06-21

The great earthquake In Japan, which
has done infinite damage to a large
province of the empire and caused a
loss Of over a thousand lives, has had
its parallels in that country which is
so subject to seismic disturbances. 1t
occurred in a volcanic section, where
there are numerous craters of sup
posed extinct volcanoes, but which evil
IDENTIFY still burn repressed fires in the
bowels OF the earth. 1t will be recalled
that the city of Yeddo some forty-two
years ago suffered from a temblor that
practically destroyed that city and
Killed some three thousand people, as
is believed, though the exact number
never was ascertained- Succeeding that,
during thirty years, there were many
earthquakes in the empire more or less
destructive of life and property In
fact, the Japanese are habituated to
seismic troubles, and as proximity to
great danger for long time deadens
fear of it, so, in Japan, dwelling in the
Immediate presence of terror has not
much disturbed the people. There are
traditions of greater earthquakes in
Japan than that of Yeddo, or that of

The Board of City Trustees by proper
ordinance has declared that there shall
be milk and market inspection. This
is done because the public health de-
mands it, and this demand is so great
that the board can no longer refuse to
do that which should have been or
dered long ago. But there is a mi
nority of the board which declares that
there shall be appointed no inspector
to enforce the ordinance, unless the ma
jority of the board will consent to a
rider proposed by the minority, name
| ly, the consolidation Of the Offices of
Plumbing and Sanitary Inspectors.
Unhappily, the minority in this regard
has the strength necessary to prevent
the majority from giving effect to the

Justify their position; that they have
no right to further imperil the public
health in order to force through the
board a measure to which that body is
opposed The attempt is in the nature
Of bulldozing and small politics, and is
unworthy of the members who adopt
such tactics Indeed, their attitude is
such in this matter as to warrant the
employment of much stronger terms
but 1t is to be hoped that they will see
the absurdity and injustice of their po-
sition, and will cease to clog the
wheels of needed reform by manifesto
tions unworthy the record Of a body
that has so greatly in it's keeping the
health and welfare of the people. If
! however the minority adheres to its
position and prevents the new ordi-
nance becoming effective, there should
/ be such indignant declaration by the
citizens as will recall these Trustees tc
a sense of their duty to their constitu
ents and to the propriety of submitting
to the expressed will of the board
made manifest through a lawful major
tity II, when minority is defeated in
the board, it is to resort to obstructive
tactics, municipal government in Sac
wrangles among men, and the people
| will suffer accordingly. We warn the
minority that it is a dangerous game
at which to play, besides being un-
worthy the important trusts committed
to them.
