jewelry, pianos, and even wearing appar-
el. The tbeater managers also complain
against the bicycle. The latter may have
some ground for their argument, but
tho others entor very little into the merit
OF tho statement. President Coleman OF
the Eastern Wheel Works, tho company
which makes the Crescent bicycle, says
in refutation OF the cry against
cycling that number OF things
should be considered before reaching
conclusion in this matter. "To
begin with," said he, "you should
reckon that the larger part OF the money
expended for bicycles is kept In almost
ate the mechanics and middlemen, who
are the vital force OF the industry. These
people havo TO pay for their clothes, their
food, their shoes and what not, Just the
same as other folks, and n large part OF
the money which you, or the next per-
son, pays for a wheel eventually passes
through their hands to the mere hant.
There il really no hook on which can be
hung that hard luck tale OF tho dealers
IN general merchandise. The season has
been notably dull in branches OF trade
that could not possibly be affected by
the bicycle buipess. On the other hand

Gratitude and Grumbling.

The trouble with TIE world is that it
is always hunting up something to kick
about. We complain because it is cold
in winter, and ask in summer. in sarcas-
tic accents, il this is hot enough for you.
We are not thankful because we have
bread and meat. We grumble because
it isn't cake and terrapin. 1t has been
said that society is composed of two
classes: thoss who have large sppetities
and 10 dinners at one end, and those
who have larger dinners and no sppetI-
tes at the other, and that both are dis
satisfied. In the midst OF ell this dis
content comes still, small voice from
Kansas. Now Kansas, where the
cyclones blow and dust-storms howl,
where the grasshoppers eat up every
thing when there's good crop, and the
drought parches when there aren't
floods, is the last place anyone would
expect to find gratitude for blessings.
But an editor of country paper thinks
differently, end is reasonably thankful
for small favors. 10 recent editorial
on the SUBJECT OF "Our Blessings" be
says: "We slipped and fell, the other
day, and peeled our nose and chin. We
are profoundly grateful that IT WAS not
our blamed neck.' Here is the right
spirit. and the proper channel for graft.

The School Law.

At the request of Prof. @. II. Tully
the following paragraph Of the schoo
law relating to the powers of schoo
trustees, is published FOR the benefit oi
the general public:
'EIGHTH. To employ, under a writ.
ten contract, teachers. !snitors and en-.
ployes OF schools, TO fix and order paid
their compensation.
And boards OF trustees may, at any
time after the annual election and quail
hcatlon OF new members of the school
board, enter into contract for teachers,
janitors and other employees for the next
succeeding school year"
Prof. Tullly vehemently maintains
that the law plainly and unequivocally
confers the right of appointment upon
the old school board, and that il the
courts decide onherwise, it would be
nothing more nor less than an "abor-
ton of the law" He further says that
IN no instance is a new member Of the
but simply exercises unwarrRnted au-
thority IN behalf Of his personal friends.
Prof. Tully also stated that both the
Star and CITIZEN seemed afraid to pub
lish the law, and that neither or the
papers hsd so far given room to the
matter. The CITIZEN OF April %, 1895,
shortly after the law passed, published
it in full, and editorially commented up
on it, holding the same views then as it
does at present. The CITIZEN has no in
terest In the matter save the welfare of
the schools.

JURY QUALIFICATION.

The follo~ing from the New York
Herald. is an opinion on jury quallfica-
tons which might be adopted, with
great propriety, by every court in the
United States, Arizona's not excluded.
"rhe Appellate Division of the
Supreme Court ruled in the Mclaughlin
case, says the New York Herald" that
if su honest, intelligent jury is TO be
ohtsi ed 20 try criminal case that has
excited great public interest men who
have heard and read of the case, and
who have even formed and expressed an
opinion as TO the guilt or innocence of
the accused, must necessarily be select
ed. The opinion declares:
"Ail intelligent men are accustomed
to read newspapers, and may form more
or less definite opinions or impressions
es to the matters therein contained end
express such opinions or impressions to
others. Only the ignorant classes fail to
read the newspapers from day to day.

Will be able to say that they have not

formed or expressed an opinion or i'm

who is being tried.
"The question is not whether a man
has formed CT expressed an opinion,
but whether he can render an impartial
verdict on tie evidence. The purpose
of the law, says the Appellate Court, is
to secure jury, composed of intelligent
men, who read and think and form
opinions and impressions and express
them, rather than one composed of inen
who are ignorant, who do not read or
think or lave ideas with reference to
things trsnepiring in the community
