WHY rs it that grand and trial
;urors are not considered as much
untitled TO the pay provided by law
for them as county othc efs generally?
While their services are not 30 con-
tinuous they are equally as import
ant and every juryman who thinks
Of the matter at all, wonders why he
should render a neutrality-suspicious.
service, while another, doing no
rore important work than his, re-
ceiyes full pay. This proposition
has been much discussed this week
by Jurors and the complaints that
have come from outside points from
narties who were drawn on the jury
and who we're unable to appear with
ont great distress, are not without
just cause.
Our county is considerably in debt
ON this proposition but not to such
A degree that it cannot pay out in IL
reasonably short time This is the
bulk of debt of our general county
fund at present, represented by
Jury scrip. Up to April of this
year the method Of payment was to
redeem or pay scrip in the order of
its issuace dollar for dollar. This
could only be done from money
remaining in the general fund, after
the payment of regular county Of
fcers. The result was that during
the dull years, little or nothing was
left to pay scrip with. For the
past two years however the county
revenue has been sufficient to pay all
its running expenses, jurors and all,
and pay something on its old scrip
besides. Recognizing this law was
passed last Winter making scrip,
both young and old, redeemable by
competitive bids against the general
fund so as to give future jurors q
chance to collect what their scrip
was worth. The prevalence of good
business, etc. will always fix the
value under such circumstances. UI
to the present time several thousand
dollars have accumulated for this
purpose.
The new redemption law provides
that the Commissioners may rejec
bids if they think it is for the interes
of the county, and re-advertise. The
rights of the scrip holder seem no
tobe considered in this. Carried out il
full, this provision gives the commits
sioners the right to place as low
value as pleases them on scrip, no
above par, by continually re-adver
tising and beating down, while oi
the other hand they can redeem ol
the bids submitted and let competi
ton between holders, and the am
cunt of revenue, fix the price.
By every interested and fair mind
ed party this latter is recognized a
the proper way. One of our com
missioners favored this plan Will
the other thought otherwise.
Redemption money was advertise
for the third time in August, and be
coming dissatisfied, scrip bidder
planted two suits in the Distric
court to test both the validity of tn
new law and the right of the commits
sioners to practically repudiate pay
ment under it, and both cases wer
submitted last Monday.
There is no reason why any Jurc
serving at this sitting, should be III
able to realize on his scrip more tina
enough to pay all his expenses. III
money now in the fund, and that
come in this fall would make it wort
that in open market but for the p
Icy followed by the disbursing o
fcers, which leaves the matter as VI
settled, and the scrip about as wortl
less as it ever has been.

Their Views on What Should Constitute
"Honest Money"
A paper was recently read before q
literary society at Peoria, ILL.,, by a
Mr.. j. S. Burton, upon the life of JEFF
fersou, which contained these interest.
ing points on question of vital inter-
est at the present time:
Jefferson was a true bimetallist,
and a practical one. In 1870 he urged
congress to establish mint as con.
templated by the legislation of 1885.
Secretaries jefferson and Hamilton
(the latter also bimetallisD jointly
arranged the ratio of silver and gold.
Prior to the adoption of the constitu-
ton the Spanish milled or pillar dollar
was in general use. Some of these
were weighed and they were found to
contain 371A grains of pure silver; and
so the American dollar was made to
contain a corresponding weight of sill
yer. BY act of congress of April 2,
1899, the silver dollar, containing 371 u
grains of pure silver and i3& grains of
copper was made the standard or unit
of value, and piece of standard gold
containing 27 grains was made the

gold was one-fifteenth the weight of the
silver in the dollar, the ratio of fifteen
to one was thus established, and the
constructive genius of Jefferson was
recognized and approved by Alexander
Hamilton and the federalist party, OF
which he was the head. In support OF
Jefferson's plan, the confidential aid
friend and adviser of our first presi
dent, Secretary Hamilton, in com
, muuication to congress on January 20
1902, said:

summoned His Faithful FRIEND ana
Obtained satisfaction.
This dog story was told by lady who
vouches for it's accuracy. Remarkable
as it is, she afiirms that it rs the truth,
the whole truth, and nothing but the
truth.
An up-the-state family had two dogs.
a bulldog and blackand-tan, be-
tween which there existed every evi-
dence OF deep friendship. The family
went into the country one summer
some 16 miles from home. They took
the black -and-tan with them, but left
his companion at home. They had not
been established in their summer quar-
ters more than u few days befope the
small dog had managed to pick quar-
rel with the neighbours bulldog, in
which the black-and-tan got much the
worse of the argument-so much so
that when he disappeared after the bat
tie his owners were much worried.
They searched high and low, but no
trace of that small dog could be found.
The next morning there were seen
coming up the road, side by side, the
black -andetan and his faithful COM
panion, the bulldog from home. The
two marched straight past the hotel
where the family we're staying, and
halted in front of the home of the
blacl-and-tan's enemy. In some un
known manner the country bulldog
was summoned and Immediately hi.
city contemporary fell upon him. Th'
struggle was severe and prolonged, bu
the issue was never in doubt. Th'
country bulldog was completely con
quered and retired in as good order a
possible under the circumstances. Th'
victor, once his task completed, ,wheelet
about, and without a stop retraced tn
16 miles to home. The black-and- tai
crawled into the hotel with every in
dbcation of complete satisfaction ol
his diminutive countenance.-N.Y. Y. Mai

the city should its candidates be de-
feated and the opposition assume
charge Of the city government. San
Antonio, it's interests, its improvement
its health, its sightliness, its advan-
tages of any kind come first, and the
means by which these are secured are
only secondary. Above all persons the
city should stand first What makes
for it's increase is to be advocated.
What is not to it's interests should be
discouraged. While doing all in it's pow
