RESERVE JURORS.

II ,s gratifying to observe that the system OF
selecting reserve jurors in important trials is 10
be seriously considered by tile Legislature
This was suggested by The Tribune some ume
ago in connection with the interruption OF the
Thorn murder trial by the Illness OF Juror.
II will be remembered that after the selection
of a satisff Glory jury and the opening and con
siderable progress of the trial oil that had been
done had 10 be abandoned and the whole job
done over again from the beginning. Thus eX-
,r, oypense and labor we're caused and the exc
cution of Justice was delayed. The same thing
has happened in other trials and may happen
In any II is not a remote contingency. 1t Is
indeed go likely that 1t ought to be guarded
ecainst in some way, and the only practical
ond satisfactory way seems 10 be the one sug
eested. This has for some time been under con-
alteration in France where the best judicial
orinion seems to favor It, For obvious reasons
II would be still more readily applicable and
more advantageous in it's operation here
The French system suggested by The Trb-
une provides for the selection Of fourteen jurors
In each case, instead of only twelve All are
to sit regularly in the box and hear the test-
mony and arguments. and exercise all the func-
tons Of jurors. But only twelve Of them,
chosen from the whole number at random, are
finally to retire and decide upon the verdict
The two supernumeraries will have nothing to
do with that unless some member of the Jury
falls III or is otherwise removed from his place
II that happen, one Of the supernumeraries
takes his place, and the trial proceeds without
a hitch. II second Is removed the other
supernumernry takes his place, and thus the
requisite number. twelve, is maintained intact.
Only In case Of more than two being removed
can there be a mistrial on that account. and that
is too remote contingency for consideration.
There can be no possible objection to the sys-
tenn on the score Of law and Justice. 1t gives

70 THE For VAR TALK.

There Is no war between this country anu
Spain There is no serious danger OF any
There Is certainly no cause for any. 1t may
be asserted with as much confidence as Is pos
sible in international affairs that there Will he
no such war; either now or in the measurable
future There was on Wednesday little I'M
organized riot in Havana. a few hot-headed
army officers smashed the windows Of couple
of newspaper Offices Practically that was all.
1t was not demonstration against the United
States Ii did not cndaI ger the general order

would be mdwnter madness worse than that
of the dogdays. Nor is there the slightest men
ace to the peace of nations In the southwark
cruising of United States ships Of war. 1t has
long been the custom to send them to Southern
waters in winter, and that custom Will proDa'
bly, be followed this winter. That Is all.
Nothing is more 10 be deprecated than the
ebuent babbling about War with Spain
which is now to be observed in scare mead
lines and panic-strcken pictures. 1t is not rue.
1t can serve no possible purpose except to agl-
tate and infame injudcious minds. Even II
relations between the two countries were dan
gerously strained-and they are not-such pup
LEGATIONS could do no good, and would prohaDiy
do some harm, for even such vain vaporlngs
might make the tension little more severe
The rowdy officers of Havana brought discredit
upon the Spanish Army by their deeds or vio-
lence. II is no more creditable for irresponsi-
Bile scribblers here to utter words OF violencc'
What this country wants to do is to attend 10

but he found II out by singular chance. and
wrote TO Whittier that he was her husband. and
begged for assistance in his work OF spreading the
Gospel. Whittier feared his old friend might be
in destitute circumstances and for her sake he
made liberal remittance. The husband kept all
this from his wife, who he knew. would al once
return the money. but she learned the fact BY
finding letter OF Whttiers in his pocket. She
was indignant, but her letter to Whittier return

terms and gave no hint Of the misery OF her life.
She was occasional correspondence with him
