Jailed JurieS.

The question of whether cases should be tried
by jury has been discussed, pro and con, for
number of years; and the system still holds its
own, with, no doubt, the approval Of great
majority of the people. Twelve fairly-sensible,
reasonably honest, though possibly uneducated,
men, are as good judges of the right and wrong
of case as the most lie rned of legal lumina-
rieS
1t is an impressive sight-a jury of men that
have, for instance, been constituted board of
arbitration to decide as to whether some man
shall lve-led away by the sheriff into pri.
vate room to make their decision. They have,
from the most advantageous of positions, heard
all the evidence--all the pleas-and the judges
CHARGE and, il reasonably conscientious, they
are impressed with feeling of terrible respon-
sibility.
The sheriff, also, is impressed with feeling
of responsibility, as we'll as Importance He
provides his little band of prisoners with bal
lots, and awaits their vote.
If this is all one way, we'll and good. The
jury is conducted back into COURT their verdict
given, and they are discharged, But If there is
a disagreement, they are still further impris-
oned in the hope that they will yet all vote one
way, and render verdict-thus, perhaps, saw
ing the expense of another trial being held.
Each side then goes at work trying to induce
the other to "come over" The evidence is re-
viewed, turned, twisted, perhaps distorted. Ar
gument, pesuasion, mayby bullying, is used.
If one juror happens to be unfucky ensug to
see the case differently from the other eleven,
his case is, indeed, hard one. He is made to
feel that he is the only obstacle between his
and immediate freedom, and, althouh
possibly he may be the ore that is really right,

ACCORDING 10 the recent election, the Re-
publican majority in the Second congressional
district will reach 5000. This will efectually
dispose OF the stock yards congressman and
give the people chance. -Lawrence World
"Give the people a chance !" Didn't the
people have chance last year? and didn't they
elect the "stock-yards CONGRESSMAN" p? When
has the Second district been better represented
in congress than now? 1t is by no means like

Foghorn's example, anil been hauled up before

did Foghorn, but he has been, and is, hard at

JUDGE WALLACE, late candidate in New
York for chief justice of the court of appeals,
was mar after Hannas own heart Wallace
was Boss Platt's nominee. Judge Wallace, it
is claimed, was so corrupt that his judicial suit
was scaled over with corruption. 1t is claimed
that he went on the bench and tried a case in
which he was formerly attorney, deciding in ia
vor of his former client His decision was
promptly reversed in higher court. Wallace
is good Republican, and, while Republicans
can swallow some bitter pills, Wallace was too
much CT dose for some Republicans. Wal
lace is not Judge this year-wil not be judge
next year; in fact, it may safely be claimed that
Wallace will be gathered to his fathers without
ever holding the Office Of chief justice of the

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY says he is satisfied
with the late election, which goes to prove that
it does not take much 10 satisfy a president.
Hanna, we presume Is also satisfied; also boss
Platt Watterson of the Courier Journal is an
other case of satisfaction. Watterson has the
impression that tail cannot wag dog and is
satisfied to let the dog wag the tail. Depew is
not satisfied Depew says that the free silver
sentiment is not dead, and he wants llama and
Reed to give it its death at the next session of
congress. After that Depew expects to be sat
isfed, and then everybody will be satisfied ex-
cept the fellows that did not get an office, and
they will never be satisfied this side of the
grave. Like old Jacob of old, they will go
down to their graves in ourping-mourning
for that which is not.

THERE is another deficit. A month ago
there was deficit, and the month before that.
All under the Dingley tariff but the gold re-

All Impending Panic.

III tnlS is real DOOH1, no gloomy prculCtlOA OF
the New Time can possibly disturb its onward
march or cheoEsitsjoyous career. If it is not a
real return of prosperity there can be no harm
in calling attention torit, and begin to patch up
old clothes rather thanleve in the prospect of
new ones.
At the present moment this boom wears all
the ear-marks of a breeding panic of colossal
proportions do not like to utter a discord-
ant note to the sweet chorus of the bank re-
port, which Comptroller Eckles called for at the
end of business, October 5. At this writing
the reports are not all in, but the record is COM
plete enough. Fifteen of Chicago's national
banks show deposits of $40, 900, 900 and loans
end discounts only $50 900 900, an excess of
deposits of SIS, 200, 900. A year ago these
same banks had deposits of only $87 900 900,
while loans and discounts were SOC, ooo, 900, all
excess of but SCI ,ooo, 900. In word, i'll the
last twelve months the deposits have increased
$S3, 900 900 and the loans and discounts only
SIC, 900, 900. Since July 20, the increase has
been but 81 200, 900.
Who has had the confidence? The business
men and manufacturers who have use for
money and who would employ men with it?
No. No. They do no not want money They
cannot use it with profit There is 10 market
for their goods. The people who have money for
which they have no productive are the ones
who have confidence, ard their confidence only
extends to willingness to place it i'll a bank.
Idle money in a bank might just as we'll be
hidden in the frozen mountains of the Kloudyke
for all the good it does a community or ma
ton
This is exactly the situation which preceded
the panic of 1885, and no one knows it better
than Comptroller Eckes. The manufacturers
do not want money. They cannot find mar
ket. They will not produce for one which
does not exist. The people have little money.
They cannot have it when it is stored up in
Washington or in the banks and safety deposit
vaults. And some editorial idiots are urging
the people to save up their money, now that
prosperity is here, against rainy day.
Pile your money up in the banks; build up
5000 900, 900 reserve in the United States Treas
ury; plant it away in safety deposit companies;
urge the school children to save nickes and
pennies; open banks for workmen, who will ex-
change dimes for bright colored stamps" urge
the most rigid economy-and they stand from
under and watch a thousand banks and ten
thousand business firms 60 down in the in
evitable panic.
The situation may change for the better, but
at the present writing the word panic is
written across the financial heavens i'll letters so
plain that none need be deceived. Frederick
U, Adams, in New Time.

THE Republicans Of Douglas county will
take great pleasure in sending delegation to
the next state convention to renominate R. w.
Blue for congressman-at- large. Considering
his long public service and how little he has
got out of it, Mr.. Blue ought to be renominated

The World should be more specific, and tell
us what Dick Blue has ever done for the peo-
pie. If Bank-wrecking, selling worthless
''canal'' stock, etc., is 'public service" he
certainly deserves reward of some kind; but
we would suggest that suit of striped clothes
would be the most appropriate reward he could
receive.

SO far as dollars and cents were concerned, and
All obstinate Dutchman had Chung OUT so

the whole remaining eleven finally decided to

WE are sorry to learn that Senator PETER has
sold the Topeka Advocate, and the Popusts of
Kansas will be sorry, too. The Advocate
has been purchased by the publishers of the

will do.

THE plan to maintain Republican headquar-
tiers another year simply means that the ma
chine is going to make All organized effort to
control the next state convention, That is all
all there is to it, and nothing else can be made
out of it.-LawreMce World
Well, brother Brady, the Republican head
quartes will be maintained and the same old
control the state convention. Just put that in
your pipe and smoke it,
JOE HUDSON, formerly editor OF the Topeka
Capital, said to the State Journal, the other
day, that if the bosses continue to domi-
nate the Republican party, that party will
be badly defeated in '9S. Possibly Joesis hon
est in saying what he does, but We, have little
faith in his honesty. He has been known to
kick at various times, but he has always sup
ported the ticket put up by the bosses, and we
opine that he will continue to do so.
WE admire county attorney like Jake
Sheppard, of Bourbon county He is a rank
resubmissionist but he also has regard for the
oath of Office. He is filling the Jail with vio-

OPENED THEIR EYES
FIRST NERCHANTS' EXCURSION
WAS A REVELATION TO MANY
FROM ABROAD.
THEY HAD NEVER DREAMED
OF THE EXTENT OF ST. PAUL'S
WHOLESALE TRADE AND IT'S
ADVANTAGES.
BUYERS IN CHICAGO MARKETS
Have Now Discovered That in ST
Paul They Have an Equal
Chance with All.

1t was exceedingly lively in the
wholesale and jobbing district Monday,
but yesterday was doubly so; fully
twice as many out of town merchants
arrived on the second day of the Mer-
chants excursion as during the pre-
ceding twenty-four hours, and it is
estimated that fully 500 out Of town
dealers represent the attendance Of
the two days. A few others living in
the more distant towns, and who start
ed last evening, will arrive on the
morning trains today. The first of the
excursions has proved a very fatter-
ing success.
Many others have written that thay
will come either during the next ex-
cursion or during fair week; the as
sociation expects an attendance of 800
on the two excursions, While thousands
more will come to the state fair and
embrace that opportunity to make their
purchases. They are all highly pleased
with the idea, and as one of them
writes, "It is a good scheme and moth
ing better could be done to promote
the general prosperity Of the North
west, and at the same time bring the
jobbers into more friendly relations
with their trade; we appreciate your
efforts"
There is one significant result of these
excursions which has already develop
ed: They will greatly extend the ter
ritory of the st. Paul and Minneapolis
wholesale trade. In that they have
proved a matter of education to those
their buying in the Chicago market
Several of the jobbers report selling
bills of goods to this class and their
customers expressed surprise that they
could buy all the staple articles here
as cheaply as in Chicago-that prior
to this the thought of dealing here had
never entered their minds. In this one
result alone, the excursions have al
ready we'll repaid for all the labor and
expense Of getting them up.

THEIR LICENSE REVOKED.
minneapolis Insurance Concern As.
signed in a Hurry

When the officers of the American
Lie q Casualty company. of Mime
apollS, made an assignment hurriedIV
Monday, they knew the reason. 1t was
that Insurance Commissioner DeartIl
nad notified them that unless certain
lIresuiafltles in their accounts were
Strengthened out before yesterday
morning he would ask the attorney
general to begin suit for the appoint
ment of receiver for the concern.
The company was formerly known
as the Masonic Accident association
but reorganized under it's recent style
in April The June examination of IFS
accounts showed that more than 50
per cent of the receipts had been turn
ed into the expense fund which was
IN conflict with the law and bylaws
OF the company as we'll as doing an
injury to the policy holders in depicting
the benefit fund. The officials of the
company stated that they expected
that the receipts from the call of July
[ would realize more than enough
to make up the deficit and fix up the
benefit fund all right again. On this
assurance, the commissioner gave the
company until Aug. 1 to make up. 1t
did not do so, however, and it was
found that the company had received
from II o06 the proceeds Of the assessment,
II, ,2O9, but the disbursements had been
practically the same. Moreover only
$262.O6 of the disbursements were in
payment of beneficiary claims against
the company. The balance had gone
to meet the expenses.
The bylaws of the concern provided
that not more than one-third of this
money could be used to pay expenses.
Under this rule it was found that the
management of the company had IL
legally appropriated $544 of the re-
ceipts. The company had no cash as
sets, and very little assets of any
kind, while there were claims unpaid
amounting to $2,SOO.
The commissioner notified the COM
pany that the $544 Illegally used must
be replaced in the indemnity fund, and
that the past claims must be satisfied
not later than Aug. 13.
The managers claimed to have
man who was willing to invest $1,000
cash in the enterprise, which would
put the company on its feet and leave
a comfortable balance in the treasury.
but they were unable to get hold of
the man. He was always out at the
lake or somewhere else out of the way.
Saturday, Mr. Dearth notified the
company that he must have something
definite or their business would be
wound up on Monday.
Monday, Deputy Commissioner Tim
berlake visited the office and found
little satisfaction. Accordingly, Mr..
Dearth at once revoked the company's
license, and requested Attorney Gen.
eral Childs to begin action for the ap-
pointment of a receiver but the COM
pany, as stated, forestalled this action
by it's assignment.
1t is intimated that the illegal con-
version of the funds will be investi-
gated by the grand jury, and it is pos
sible that steps may be taken to have
the assignee removed.

FEW GOOD REPUBLICANS.
City Clerk Jensen Can Give Them
Som mething to Do.


The board of aldermen held a short
session last evening, and at 8 o'clock
adjourned until this evening. City
Clerk Jensen called attention to the
law passed by the last legislature,
which provided for the double indexing
of chattel mortgages filed in his office.
The law, he stated, went into effect
April 8, and as there had been no
books provided, it would be necessary
to procure new ones and record about
5000 mortgages, which had been filed
since that date. In particular, what
he wanted was the authority to employ
two additional clerks to be paid from
the general fund in order to bring the
records up to date. The application
went to the committee on ways and
means.
The Germania bank sent in a COM
munication asking that the bond given
by the bank to insure the funds of the
city deposited in the institution be can
celed. The bank officials explained that
this action was necessary to secure GER
tain commercial paper belonging to the
bank now in the hands of the sureties
on the bond. The city treasurer hav-
ing reported that all the funds of the
city in the bank had been returned,
a resolution canceling the bond was
passed.

END OF THE DOG CATCHERs.
This End of the Mayors Patronage
Runs Out,

The dog catchers will quit work Fri
day night For the past three months
this plan of official patronage has
given jobs to thirty-thre men, and
5000 has been paid in salaries, to say
nothing of the other incidental ex-
penses. The amount collected from
dog licenses UP to date, according to
the city clerk, is something like $780,
of which amount one-third was paid
over the desk in the city clerks Of
flee. The amount collected by the dog
catchers will barely pay the sum paid
to them for salaries. Sixteen hundred
dogs were captured and drowned
