pense? Abolish the grand jury and you
will save expenses and increase efficiency.
The special grand jury called in this city
in December cost the taxpayers $3.50, and
now we have a new one.
Another great expense to the county and
state has been the failure of juries to re-
turn a unanimous verdict: the defendant
or his friends secure one man. who hangs
the jury. In all other departments of pub
lie affairs, a majority determines: why not
in the courts of Justice? With these two
reforms l believe Justice will be more sure
ly melted out in our courts. and criminals
more surely meet the punishment they de-
serve at the hands of the law, and the
burdens of the taxpayers lightened.
These are not untried experiments: the
grand jury has long since been done away
with in Kansas. Michigan. Wisconsin and
other states. and to the great aid of aw
and order and efficiency in the enforcement
of the criminal statutes.
1t only takes u majority of the supreme
court to affirm or reverse a cause. Less
than twelve men pass upon cases in con-
domination of lands in the justice court.
One man tries many of the most difficult
questions in the court. Can any good rea-
son be advanced why less than a unani-
nous verdict should not determine causes
In the courts of the county?

It costs $500 to spit on a man in Boston.

a thief, hurled uncomplimentary epithets
at him, rejecting upon his ancestry, ana
wound up by expectorating upon the
plaintiffs person.
The jury before whom the suit was
brought in the Supreme Civil Court con-
sdered the case for three hours, and
brought In q verdict Of $l.2O for the
plaintiff. on the "thlef'' count their YER
dict was for the defendant, but the dis
patch from the modern Athens fails 10
specify whether II was because they be-
lieved the defendant was justified or did
not believe the plaintiffs charge. The
only evidence given on this point was by
the defendant himself and his manager.
Mr. Fred. Wright. On the count OF using
vile words" the jury found against Hoyt
for 81, 900, and on the expectoration count,
500.
Thus does Boston practically declare
that while IL may be allowable to call a
man a thief. she will not tolerate within
her limits the use Of vile and improper
language, for 1t is on accuracy Of speech
and elegance Of diction that she bases her
claim TO distinction. Neither does she tole-
rate the use of a sentient being as Gus
pidor. It is bad form to spit upon a man
literally and Boston is as great on forms
OF action as on forms OF speech.
