IN Mexico a jury consists of niue
men. y majority can report verdict,
and IL the jury Is unanimous there is
no appeal. This system would never
be tolerated in this country for capital
crimes, but for petty civil cases there
Is much to be said in Its favor. In our
own personal experience we have seen
eleven business men, many of whom
were losing considerably by reason of
their forced absence from their bust
ness, kept in confinement for more
than half day over little matter OF
thirteen dollars, because one man was
unreasonably stubborn. The real
cost OF such case is at low estimate
two hundred dollars, in time lost and
other damage. 1t does not seem
right that the procedure should be so
cumbersome when a fair minded ma
gistrate could adjust the case.

A Financial Straw.
Topeka State Journal.


The following editorial paragraph
from the Philadelphia Record may ex-
plain in some measure the advance in
the price of silver:
"Small change is very scarce in San
tiago. 1t is impossible to exchange
gold for Spanish silver; and as there is
little American silver, sales at retail
are hard to consummate. 1t will be the
same in our colonies-they will need a
full supply OF spending money. The
larger mint now being erected in this
city will be finished none to soon.
There must be a much ampler fraction
al coinage, and it must be struck by
Philadelphia dies"
The large amount of fractional coin
age which will be needed for supply
ing the demand in Cuba, Porto Rico
and the Philippines must of necessity
be made from the white metal. Per-
haps shrewd holders of silver bullion
have an eye on this phase OF the situa-
ton.

WE are heartily in favor OF the
scheme to establish national park
reservA ton in the Mescslero country.
We believe that such action would not
entail serious hardships upon more
than q very few individuals, and Ger -
tainly the value of such tract will so
greatly increase with the settlement
Of the country around II, that it seems
to US IL would soon be found to be to
the advantage OF all the surrounding
territory. We are firm belieye rs in a
policy that includes plenty of parks
for cities and towns. Every city where
that policy Is followed out consistently
Is highly thought OF on that account
alone, IL on no other, for it shows q
decent regard for posterity, as
well rs fair conception OF the city's
duty to such Of its own citizens as can
not afford to have an extensive lawn.
We believe the same policy is good
one to follow in national and state mat
ters, and for substantially the same
reasons-particularly as asserting the
right Of all to govern the privileges Of
q few, when those privileges work more
or less injustice to others. So far as
We know, in no case where govern
ment has established reservations
have the disadvantages been found Ill
timately to overbalance the sdvan-
tages.

A Parallel Case.

The city of Ell Paso has perhap snar-
rowly escaped q suit which might
have involved it in great deal OF
trouble and which might have delayed
work upon the new city hall and fire
department for an indefinite length of
time. 1t will be remembered that the
Noel YOung Bond & Stock Co. bid
outright, through their representative,
the face value of the $45, 900 of city hall
and sewer bonds, and premium OF
three and one-fourth percent upon the
same.
The bid of N. w. Harris & Co., was
about $3.50 higher, but was upon the
condition that the same ''was.subject
to the approval of the legality OF the
issues by their counsel"
The attorney of the Noel Dung
Bond & Stock Co. took the position
before the counsel that the bid of N.
W. Harris & Co., should be ignored
entirely, on account of the fact that
the clause making their bid ''subject
to the approval of the legality of the
issues" by their own counsel, converted
their bid into a mere offer< to buy the
bonds in case their own attorney
should determine that it was prudent
for them to do so, and that by accept
ing the bid so qualified no real sale
was effected, but the city simply gave
an option on the bonds.
A case has arisen recently :in the
city offNew York involving identically
the same point. For an issue of Sl2,-
OOO, 900 of city bonds, the Produce Ex-
per cent, and deposited their check
for two per cent of the par value OF the
bonds as g guaranty, as required by
the city's advertisement.
Vermilye & Co. bid 1O5.03 per cent
for the bonds, which was S11, 900 more
than the other bid, and deposited their
check for 1858, 1885 being two per
cent of the par value of the bonds, as
required by the clty's advertisement
The bid of Vermilye & Co., however,
was made with the condition we have
mentioned, that is, they agreed to take
the bonds Subject to the approval OF
the legality of the issues by their coun-
sell"
The Produce Exchange Trust Co.
claimed the bonds under it's bid. Hon
Bird S. Coler, comptroller of New
York City, referred the matter in
controversy to Judge John F. Dillon.
the only great textbook, on "Munici-
pal Corporations. He determined
that the bid of Vermilye & Co., being
conditioned as it was, was nothingtmOre
than q mere option and should be
treated by the comptroller as ar
absolute nullity, and that the twelve
million dollars of bonds should be
awarded to the Produce Exchange
Trust Co. Mr.. Coler, the comptroller,
in accordance with Judge Dillon 6
opinion. turned the bonds over to the
Produce Exchange Trust company.
Our city bonds having been turned
over already to Farson, Leach
& Co., to whom they were as
signed by N. w. Harris 81 Co.
and the money received upon the
same, we presume that there will nc
trouble about the matter hereafter.

conciled to them, but be don't wsrt to

Isaac paid off the mortgage on .the

said man couldn't be consistent
populist unless he was in debt and he
proposed to stay with the party, at
least until he got that 160 paid for,
and then he laughed and went out to
the hog pen, while I felt like that was
the best place for him.
