A Glorious Occasion.

It was glorious news which The Trib-
une printed yesterday-our boys in
blue safe in far off Manila, having
captured the Ladrone islands on the
way: Cervera's fleet destroyed, and
Shafter. after his hard fighting of
three days in a foreign country Under
a burning sun against a desperate op-
ponent almost impregnably entrenched,
lation of Santiago. No wonder it gave
unprecedented zest to the celebration
of the most significant Fourth of July
that this nation has ever known.
1t will take generations to unfold
the full meaning of these feats at
arms. That they sound the doom Of
tyranny in the American hemisphere
is as certain as that they open to this
republic a new career of influence, OPP
portunity and dominion, the bounds Of
which no living man can see. Sad as
is the fate of those who fell in the
working out of this providential con-
summation it is impossible to imagine
a death more magnificent. Every man
who died gave up hero's ripest sacri-
flee to add to humanty's welfare and
his country's glory. Centuries of stale
existence in the selfish walks of peace
would not have accumulated one-mil-
lionth part of legacy for posterity so
ennobling and so inspiring.
Let us not, then, check our joy be-
cause there has been loss of life. That
loss itself is the happiest proof which
our history has given of the virlity
and the nobility of our incompatible
republic

Blind Leaders of the Blind.

Advices from Madrid intimated, be-
fore the news came of Santiago, that
the war feeling in Spain was ris-
ing tide. The clerical press is furious
in it's denunciations of peace proposals,
and the priests are preaching a holy
crusade. The ridiculous archbishop of
Manila seems to have stimulated the
Incorporate activity of his religious
brethren in the Peninsula by his de-
nunciaton of the American "heretics"
and their iconoclastic designs upon the
fanaticism would be contemptuous
were it not so serious. 1t will not in
jure us; but 1t is a grave misfortune
for Spain. The ignorant millions will
readily believe that we are devastat-
ing and ravishing nation, with as lit
tie liberation or compunction for the
faithful as the Moors, and imbued with
as little morality as the Turks, IL they
are educated into this belief by their
religious teachers, whom the peasantry
revere as worldly guides no less than
as sacerdotal mediators.
However much we may regret this
aspect of affairs we unfortunately cam
not help it. President Mckinley list
ened to the representations of Arch
bishop Ireland when he was deputed
by the pope to use his good offices to
avert the war. OF course he could not
take official cognizance of them. The
government of this country is secular.
The pope is a spiritual sovereign. All
religions are equally free to exploit
their theological tenets and uphold
them in any way that is pleasing to
their propogandists. so long as they
do not conflict with or tend to subvert
the stability of the state. We are not
going to reverse this policy in the
Philippines or elsewhere. Every man
| may be a religion to himself or pro-
| fess no religion at all, just as he
| pleases. The Lain races cannot un-
| derstand this latitude of doctrinal
| principle. They are either domineer-
| ingly irreligious or ecstatically relig-
| ious. They are as irrationally and fan
| atically intolerant in the one extreme
| as they are supersttiously ignorant
| other.
! When the surpliced crusaders of
| Spain preach war to the end, they
cannot injure the American people,
Catholic, Protestant or undenomina-
tional. They are simply heaping up
agony and humiliation for their own
unfortunate country. The political pas
torals of their bishops are exasperat-
ing calumnies on our men at the front,
Catholics as well as Protestants. Our
soldiers are not Janissaries. 1t is be-
cause of their espousal Of the cause
of virtue and humanity that they are
in the field and will remain there. Vic
tory for American arms should have
the wholesome effect to modernize even
the bigotry of Spain.

Jury Fixing.

The jury box has stood for centuries
the palladium of constitutional liberty.
1t is the basic principle of our juris-
prudence, as it should be in demo-
cratic state. Like all other human in
stitutions it is not perfect either in it's
working or in its results. 1t is, how
ever. the nearest approach that has
been made or ever will be made prob
ably to secure impartial justice where
the life, liberty or property of the citi-
zen is in peril. Advance in legal de-
VClopment has been made by widening
the functions of the Juror: first Hs a
prosecutor, then as witness, and final
ly as an inquisitor in the cause of ac-
tion or trial Trial by judge has given
place to trial by Judge and jury; as
trial by ordeal. by wager, and similar
institutions gave place to trial by judge
as the representative of the sovereign
jurisdiction.
For the purpose of convenience rath-
er than as scientific division, we may
take the functions of jurieS in this
country as divided between civil and
criminal cases. 1t is unfortunately a
fact that the civil jurisdiction of jur-
ors is more comprehensive here than
it is in any other country in which trial
by jury is established. A defendant in
dollars is involved has the right to
claim trial by judge and jury perhaps
in a cause which should be left solely to
the experience and impartiality of the
judge, If indeed II should have been
brought into court at all. OF course
when the trainers of the Constitution
gave right of trial by jury in trivial
matters of this kind, twenty or thirty
dollars TO their frugal minds was no in
considerable sum. Where the scope for
trial by jury includes almost every
conceivable action at law, it is not
merely hard 10 keep the jury incorrupt
and incorruptible, but &c select it intel
ligently enough to perform its solemn
functions is almost impossible. This is
| where the difficulty comes in. We
gather an unwieldy and indiscriminate
number of citizens, take them as they
come, young, daring, stupid, or senti-
mental and expect that they will rem
| der verdicts according TO the evidence
| given and The oaths they have just
| sworn to. We do fail lamentably in
this purpose, because sufficient account
is not taken of the weakness Of human
nature.
Jury fixing is another and terrible
| aggravation of a very grave scandal
The jury fiXer goes to the well of the
| fountain of Justice and deliberately
pollrtes it. He takes the administra-
tion of justice out of the cognizance
of Judge and jury and commonwealth
alike. A Juror who is not intelligent
or conscientious CROUCH to do his duty
