The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1896-11-11

Sheriff Heller takes charge of his new
office today, and no doubt he will exercise
it for three years, unmolested. There IS
no the least prospect of the recount
coming to anything, and the idea thai
the Legislature win rob him of any of
his powers is too ridiculous for consider
alton. Mr.. Heller will ave the means OF
greatly. strengthening his party during his
incumbency. BY administering his office
on strictly business principles, and with
rigid impartiality, he win render ineffec-
tual the SANDERS that his enemies and
those Of the Democracy so freely lavish
for campaign purposes.
II drawing his juries, grand and petit,
he should exercise special discretion. The
vicious practice of jury-packing should
be at once abandoned. 1t has been the
boast Of a certain element that Sheriff
Tofey made up his Grand Juries with
distinct reference to securing indictments
IN a special class of cases. 1t Is the
claim Of this element that a Republican
Sheriff can always be counted on TO pur-
sue a similar course. Nothing can be
more subversive of law and justice.
The jurfes, especially the Grand Juries,
should be made up of good citizens. who
viii administer justice reasonably, dis
creetly and impartially- But cranks,
whose prejudices against certain classes
Of the community are wen known, should
be carefully excluded from them. Mr.
Heller will make a great mistake If he
puts any man on a jury at whom the
finger Of suspicion or reproach can be
pointed; but his error will be equally
grave If he does not stop the detestable
practice of making up juries to accom-
plish the special purposes of narrow indi-
viduals.
