Sinking jury Duly.

A weakness in our court system which
is well known to every Judge and lawyer,
and TO others who pay attention to court
affairs lies in the great difficulty of get
ting the best men to sit on the juries.
Men of the class referred to sometimes
do jury duty. Of course; but in the great
majority Of cases they do it grudgingly
and not until after they have made efforts
to get excused. There are in every com
munity men who shirk every public duty
that they can. and especially the duty Of
sitting upon criminal cases. And very
frequently they are among the first to
complain that the ends of justice are not
met when violators of the law escape pun
ishment.
Speaking upon the subject before the
Philadelphia Academy Of Law the other
day. Judge Dean of the supreme court Of
Pennsylvania said: Il would make shirk-
ing jury as odious as skulking in time of
war; instead of leaving to them the sole
part Of criticising and denouncing courts
and juries, 1 would iuleXibly compel them
as the law intended they should, to per-
form their part in the administration of
justice, wherever they were sober, intel
ligent and judcious. I would make jury
duty as imperative and as certain as pay
ment Of taxes on a house and lot.
The judge did not speak too emphau-
cally. When the leading men of a COM
munity shrk jury duty, it devolves upon
others less competent to sit in judgment
between the commonwealth and the ac-
cused. One result of this sort of thing is
to be seen in every city, in the professional
jurymen who hang about the court house
or in some other place where they may
be conveniently found when wanted.
These jurymen are in the business for

dangerous to law and order. The remedy,

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1897-05-29

Chairman Danforth Of the democratic
state committee of New York. in his talk
with the representative of the Evening
Post, expressed the sentiments Of every
thinking democrat in the country when
he said that the party, while it will not be
content to have its national platform ig-
nored, recognizes the fact that there are
a plenty of issues on which 10 fight the re-
publicans.
The rational platform OF 1896 IS the
party law until the next national demo-
cratic convention meets and adopts a
DECLARATION of principles, and all demo-
Gratis must recognize that fact and gov
orn themselves accordingly. 1T is ques-
ton now if the country would or would
not have been better off if the views Of
the free silver democrats had prevailed.
There would doubtless have been a fnan-
clal CONFUSION Ii would have been sharp,
quick ana far reaching. But It would
have passed away before great while.
because it would have been to the inter
est of the financial institutions to have
checked it as quickly as possible. The
agony over. the country would have set
tied down and adapted itself TO the new
condition of affairs.
The republican victory al the polls prob
ably averted for the time being the pre-
dicted financial collapse; or perhaps It
would he nearer correct to say that the
CONFUSION in financial affairs was post
poned, for the republicans have as yet
shown neither disposition nor ability to
give the country the financial relief which
At Is conceded it needs. The incoming Of
the republican administration has not
had beneficial effect upon the situation.
SO far from moving in the direction of
tightening the burdens of the people, the
republicans are actually taking steps to
make their taxes heavier, for the benefit
of favored few. The people are begin
ming TO awake TO realization of the fact
that the party has not undergone regen-
Grafton. 1t is the same old concern which
passed the force bills and the Mckinley
bill, and the Sherman silver purchase law,
and all of the other bad laws which have
afflicted the country since the war. 1t is
the same old aggregation of monopohsts
and bosses and political strikers ami
mated by its old-time desire and purpose
to get its fingers into the pockets of the
people. Seeing these things, the people
recognize that the democratic party with
all of it's faults, is the party of the mass
es. after all.
The democratic party leaders should see
to it that no Instructions are placed in
the way OF the thorough unity of the par
~, on the national platform of 1896 Let
the next national convention settle all is
sues between the two wings of the party;
for it is true, as Mr.. Danforth says, that
there is a plenty of other issues than sill
yer TO fight the republican party upon be-
tween this time and the fall OF 1900.
