IN A lecture on 1.-THE Jury" Judge
Dean, of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court
said: II exalt the prerogative of the Juror
No despot is so unaccountable for his
acts no office in the Republic carries
such irresponsible power. And yet men
having large business interests and affairs
hab1tually endeavor to excuse themselves
from Jury duty" One feature of iury
trials upon which the judge dwelt was the
frequency with which, in cases involving
property, juries find verdicts not on the
evidence, but apparently for the party in
the case who is the poorer and whose con-
dition attracts their sympathy. Particu-
larly is this the case in suits against cor
porations. The Justice pleads that there
should be no government of verdicts by
this sort of feeling; that juries should look
to justice alone, and that to secure that
end they should represent the community
as it is, drawing from all classes of sober,
intelligent and judicious persons, the rich
and the poor, the learned and the un-
skilled in other lore than that of common
and practical experience in life. But
everywhere intelligent and influential cit
liens try to escape jury duty. "This was
not the case in the early history of our
country" says Justice Dean. ''Then the
most intelligent and influential citizens
felt honored by being called upon to serve
as Jurors, and never sought to evade the
duty. Business was not so exacting in its
demands the pursuit Of wealth was not
so eager. The consequence of this eva
sion of duty is you have not in the Jury
box the average conscience and intelli-
gence of the public. l would take the
banker from his desk, the editor and pro-
fessor from their chairs, the preacher from
his pulpit and put them in the jury-box.
I would make jury duty as imperative and
as certain as payment of taxes on a house
and lot The presence of such men would
raise the average of conscience and intel
ligence as indicated by the verdict, and
have it represent the intelligence and con-
science of the general public"

On FRIDAYthe Burlington County DEM
oc,at made its first appearance and showed
well in its new type and other changes.
One of the best improvements is the plac-
ing in charge of the editorial columns a
gentleman and a man with a personal
character that has thus far been above re-
proach. The salutatory of the new
editor is replete with promises which,
If fulfilled, will place the paper on basis
that it has lever yet occupied. "Person-
al abuse will find no space in our col
umns," he says. This, also, will be a
very great departure from the former con-
duct of the paper and it is to be sincerely
hoped the new management will be able
to control all the columns so that ''the
Democrat will not be the representative OF
an individual" BY adhering to all its
promises the Democrat will secure a re-
spect that its predecessor never enjoyed.

QUITE original was the action of Judge
in Tennessee who, on Wednesday,
called the grand jury before him and said:
Mr. Foreman, understand you have in
your possession information that the
Judge of this court was intoxicated at the
last term of court" The foreman falter-
ingly gasped that he had heard something
like that, but the jury did not know it had
a right to indict the court. The Judge
replied III charge you to investigate the
matter thoroughly, and if there is one
particle of ground upon which you can do
so, to bring in an Indictment against the
Judge of this court Your duty is plain.
Do not shirk it." This is very refreshing.
1t is very seldom that Judge is willing to
acknowledge that he ever errs-judicially
or otherwise. The Tennessee Judge did
not say whether he was drunk in court or
merely had jag on during the term. At
any rate he seems to think that a Judge
who gets drunk deserves reproof, and he
was about right

IN DECIDING to refuse license to sell
liquor at Pemberton, Judge Gaskill did
not act hastily. but gave the matter care
full study. After thorough examination
of all the laws by which Pemberton was
granted charter, and then comparing
the new borough law on the same points,
the Judge decides that the provision vest
ing the licensing power in council is not
repealed. Especial attention was given to
the clause in the act of 1897, which says
This act being intended to provide for
the government of boroughs with the
least disturbance of those now existing"
The borough of Pemberton has, for many
years, enjoyed the exclusive right of
granting licenses. In further support of
his position Judge Gaskill quotes many
decisions which appear to bear directly
upon the case. This matter will not stop
here, however, as Mr.. Dayis, the appli-
cant, will ask the Supreme Court to give
an opinion upon the question of juris-
diction. It is quite proper that such a
step should be taken, as, notwithstanding
the apparent correctness of Judge Gaskill's
decision, there are some very nice points
raised by the law of 1897.

WHEN contract is made for building a
stone road one of its provisions is the re-
tentlon of five per cent of the cost until
the road is accepted. There was some OBJ
lection to accepting the road between Vim
centown and Cross Roads. because of al
legged faulty construction, and the matter
was not finally adjusted until last week.
The contractors now claim that they
should be paid interest on the sum with
held aud which they should have received
about month ago. The county collect
or will not accede to this request and if it
Is brought before the Board of Freeholders
It should be voted down. The FIVE per
cent retained is to insure a faithful per
Torrance of contract, as well as an insur-
ance that the road will wear we'll for a
year at least The Vincentown and Cross
Roads road does not appear to have lived
up to the guarantee. The county has no
right to pay interest on the reserve fund,
and the contractor should go slow in de-
manding it. From the appearance and
condition of the road within the past two
months he will be amply paid when he
gets the principal.

The following clipping was sent us
by friend and we cannot give the
proper credit: Last Wednesday evening
Cs plain Aspinwall of the schooner
McCord had thrilling experience in
coming down the Gila river with car
go OF wood. His old crew of experien-
ced sailors had worked their way to
liberty and had been discharged, which
necessitated the breaking in of new
gang" The current in the Gila was
quite strong and when the boat neared
the landing at Prison Hill it became
unmanageable and foated out into the
Colorado river. Captain Aspinwall
stayed with the boat and exerted every
effort to make landing, but all to no
avail The boat soon attained such
rate of speed that nothing could be
done but let her float, and the Captain,
much against his will, was compelled
to abandon her and let her escape down
the river. Some ferrymen captured the
runaway boat and it now lies anchored
about seven miles down the river, where
with its cargo of wood it is held for $25
salvage. According to the maritime
unwritten law the salvage will have to
be paid before the Territory can reco7
er the boat.

was charged. It appears that two broth
ers named Avilla, one of whom is mar
ried and the single brother lives with
him. The married one has day job,
the unmarried one works at night and
sleeps during the day. The married
man grew jealous Of his brother and
had them both arrested. They demand
ed jury. The jury, after hearing the
testimony, decided the husband had no
ground Cor his complaint.
